There are still a few days before Master Zhao's birthday, Tang Yuan just made a list to buy things for Master Zhao, he only planned to cook three dishes, and the rest of the dishes were handed over to Zhao's cook, so he has very little time. Enough, just pass on the day of the birthday.

With a plan in place, Tang Yuan's heart settled down again. After making the bean sticks and bean curd sticks, after thinking about it, he planned to make thousands of sheets as well.

A mold is needed to make thousands of sheets. Tang Yuan went to a woodworking shop. The mold is not difficult. It is a square wooden mold with two sides empty and two inches high, plus a cover. The bottom square mold has a bottom.

After Tang Yuan talked to the store owner, he added five Wen, and the store asked the master to make it on the spot. There were a total of four square wooden molds and a cover, and it took two masters half an hour to make it.

Back in the store, Su Nuo had already ground two buckets of pulp. Seeing Tang Yuan coming back, he took the wooden mold in his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Tang, I finished grinding it for you."

Tang Yuan only asked him to pick up two molds, and he took the rest and put them aside.

The stove in the kitchen is used by Father Hu, and Tang Yuan and Su Nuo both use the stove for cooking.

"Brother Nuo, don't make sour plum paste first, clean the pot and let's cook soy milk." Tang Yuan took down the pot for making bean curd sticks, rolled up his sleeves, and squatted in the back well to clean the pot.

Su Nuo also followed his action and took the pot to Tang Yuan's side to wash it. A lot of sugar was added to make sour plum paste, no matter how careful he was, the bottom of the pot would inevitably stick a bit.

Su Nuo brushed the bottom of the pot vigorously with the brush handle, he couldn't control his strength for a while, the water splashed on his face, he wrinkled his nose in distaste, and raised his arm to rub against his face.

Seeing this, Tang Yuan took the brush handle in his hand, smiled lightly and said, "Okay, let me come, go inside and wipe your face with warm water, so as not to make you feel uncomfortable."

Su Nuo is a clean brother, and Tang Yuan is his fiancé, he was not polite when he said that, he gave Tang Yuan an embarrassed smile, got up and went to the kitchen.

When he came back after washing, Tang Yuan had already cleaned the pot.

"Brother Nuo, help me pull the gauze and filter the juice." Tang Yuan raised his head and said to Su Nuo.

Su Nuo hurriedly came over to help Tang Yuan pull the gauze, Tang Yuan poured the grinded juice from the gauze, some residual residue was filtered by the gauze, and the juice in the barrel under the gauze became more delicate.

The stove was still burning, so Tang Yuan set up both pots and poured the filtered juice into the pots.

As the temperature in the pot gets higher and higher, the soy milk in the pot gradually boils, and the foam in the pot becomes more and more.

Tang Yuan stirred slowly with a spoon to break up the foam, and then fished out the foam that couldn't go away.

"Drink a bowl to warm your body." Tang Yuan scooped up several bowls of boiled soybean milk, put two porcelain spoons of sugar into one of the bowls, and handed it to Su Nuo.

"Brother Tang, you don't need to put so much sugar, half a teaspoon is enough." Su Nuo was a little distressed to put so much sugar, sugar is not cheap.

Tang Yuan also took a bowl, blew on it, took a sip along the side of the bowl, and said warmly: "Don't you like sweet things? Don't worry, I can still afford this bit of sugar."

The bowl Tang Yuan drank only had half a teaspoon of sugar, not because he was reluctant, but because he liked to drink this kind of original flavor, and if he put too much sugar, he always felt that it would cover up the original pure taste of soy milk.

He squinted his eyes contentedly, pinched Su Nuo's nice cheek, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you and I can still afford it."

"Brother Tang!" Su Nuo drank the sweet soy milk, his throat was sticky, it was obviously angry, but he said it like a spoiled child.

Father Hu took a sip of soy milk with a bowl at the side, and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Seeing the smile on his face out of the corner of Su Nuo's eyes, his ears felt hot, and he lowered his head to sip soy milk.

Tang Yuan cooled the soy milk and drank it in two or three gulps.

He poured the boiled soybean milk into a big basin, put some brine on it, and let it stand.

Seeing Su Nuo, he hurriedly wanted to help, but he didn't care about the heat, so he opened his mouth and took a big mouthful of soy milk.

"what!"

The soy milk was still hot, and as soon as he ate it, Su Nuo was burned, and couldn't help but wrinkled his face and cried out in pain.

Tang Yuan hurried over, stretched out his hand to pinch Su Nuo's chin, lifted it up slightly, and forced Su Nuo to open his mouth with a little force on his fingers.

"Is it hot? Let me see," Tang Yuan frowned as his thumb brushed against Su Nuo's moist lips, "What are you doing in such a hurry, and no one is urging you."

Su Nuo's chin was shackled by Tang Yuan, his voice was very vague, and after he said something, he stuck out the tip of his red tongue.

Tang Yuan frowned: "Sure enough, it's burning. Fortunately, it's nothing serious. Be careful when eating these two days."

"Hmm... I got it, Brother Tang," Su Nuo said vaguely, and then reached out and pulled Tang Yuan's sleeve, "Brother Tang, let me go first."

Tang Yuan let go of his hand, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, when he put down his hand, he rubbed his finger on Su Nuo's lips.

Regardless of whether he did it on purpose or not, Su Nuo believed in his heart that he did it on purpose, so he puffed up his face and gave Tang Yuan an angry look.

Brother Tang is always playing tricks on him!If they weren't already engaged, he would definitely be angry!

Tang Yuanqing coughed twice, and said softly, "Brother Nuo, the soy milk will be left for a while, go to the side and rest for a while."

Just being taken advantage of, Su Nuo was very rude, turned around and went into the house.

Tang Yuan touched his nose, and the corners of his mouth were indeed turned up. He went to the side and took the big basin by the corner and washed it with water.

The soy milk ordered in brine had been left for a while, Tang Yuan put the square mold in the basin, took out a roll of gauze, and spread a layer on the bottom of the wooden mold.

Then, use a large spoon to scoop up a scoop of slowly solidified soybean milk, pour it into the mold, and let it spread a thin layer.

Tang Yuan adjusted the gauze with his hands, and spread another layer of gauze, just like folding a fan.

In this way, spread a layer of soy milk on top of each other, build several wooden molds on top of each other, and finally cover the lid.

Tang Yuan fetched a bucket of water, put the bucket on the lid and pressed it, so that the water inside could be squeezed out as soon as possible, and it could also help Qian Zhang to form.

"Hu Bo, I want a spicy and rattan pepper pot bottom!" Da Zhuang trotted to the back, and yelled at the top of his voice before reaching the kitchen. Seeing Tang Yuan, he said excitedly, "Brother Tang, there are several people in our store. A scholar in a square scarf!"

No wonder Da Zhuang is excited. Scholars these days are all about elegance. Many would rather eat loose wine in front of the cold wind than go to a small restaurant to eat. Their shop has been open for so long, and every scholar they see can be counted with a slap come out.

Tang Yuan didn't feel anything, but his mind moved, thinking of Su's father, he looked at Da Zhuang and asked, "Is the person here a student?"

Da Zhuang scratched his head: "This... I don't know either, why don't you go and see for yourself, Brother Tang."

Tang Yuan nodded: "Understood."

After finishing speaking, he and Su Nuo instructed him to look at the water bucket pressed on top of the wooden mold, then straightened his clothes and went to the front.

When I got to the front, I saw that there were indeed a few students wearing square scarves and talking about my husband.

He observed from the sidelines for a while, and saw that a few students talked meaningfully. Although they were very dissatisfied with their husband, they were just teasing and not rude.

Su's father studied at home all year round. He had no teacher to guide him, and he had no classmates to communicate with. I think this is the reason why he failed many times. If he can study in an academy, he will definitely benefit a lot.

Su's father is Nuo Ge'er's father and his future father-in-law. If Su's father can pass the exam this time, it will be a happy event for both the Su family and him.

"Excuse me, are you guys students?" Tang Yuan stepped forward and cupped his hands at them, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Yes, I don't know what's the matter with you, Boss Tang?" One of them got up and went back to Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan gave a few people a small hug: "I see that a few of them are very well-spoken and knowledgeable, and they must have attended an extraordinary college. My father-in-law has been studying hard at home all year round. This time, he is preparing for the next autumn exam at home. I think It means that if you can get the guidance of a famous teacher and communicate with your classmates, you may have a better chance of winning, so I would like to ask where are the brothers studying?"

The person who answered Tang Yuan's words was Zhang Heng. He had always wanted to eat with his roommates after eating Chuan Chuanxiang, and today his wish came true. He was surprised when he heard Tang Yuan say this, and thought that there was nothing he couldn't say Yes, he said, "Boss Tang, you are overrated. We all study in Bailu Academy, but..."

Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment: "But if you want to enter Bailu Academy, you have to pass the exam, otherwise you won't be accepted."

When he said that, Tang Yuan felt a little more at ease. Those who have requirements for students are much more reliable than those who can get in with money.

Seeing that Tang Yuan seemed interested, Zhang Heng said, "If Boss Tang's father-in-law wants to try it, he can just go to Bailu Academy and explain his intentions. After that, someone will arrange the exam. Our academy does not limit the age of students."

Tang Yuan nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

"The bottom of the pot you ordered is here!" Da Zhuang walked quickly with the bottom of the pot.

Tang Yuan greeted a few people and then went to the back.

Seeing that the wooden mold could no longer press out the water, he took down the wooden barrel and lifted the lid.

Uncovering the gauze, the thousand sheets inside had already formed, and he took it out lightly.

The thousand sheets are only half as thick as the head of chopsticks, light yellow, with gauze lines on them, rough to the touch, a bit hard.

Tang Yuan stacked thousands of sheets together, thought for a while, took out two sheets, cut them into shreds, put them on a plate, and asked Da Zhuang to send them to those scholars.

Da Zhuang brought Qian Zhang to the front and told Zhang Heng and the others that it was a gift.

Zhang Heng looked at Qian Zhang curiously, but his roommate was impatient and poured Qian Zhang into the pot.

"Boss Tang is quite a nice person, but after asking us about something, he gave us a taste of the new product that hasn't been released yet."

Qianzhang poured out a spicy soup base, red oil was gurgling, and Qianzhang was cooking in it.

Several people saw that it was almost cooked, so they hurriedly scooped up chopsticks and tasted it.

Spicy and salty, chewing with a little bit of strength, there is a smell of beans, once you eat it, you can eat it with chopsticks, a full mouthful, the taste is very good!

"Let's come again next time!"

"Didn't you say that there are too many people here, and the food is vulgar, so you don't want to come!"

"Got it! My fault! My fault! I take back what I said before!"

"..."

A few people talked about making troubles, and the only thing that got approval was that they would definitely come back next time!
