"Haha, Xiaofeng made tofu today?"

The old man got the news from somewhere, and knew that Zhang Feng was making tofu at home, so he came over with his wife to see that the tofu made in the countryside was different from the one sold in the city.

Nowadays, tofu in big cities is almost mechanized, and in order to make tofu whiter and more tender, black-hearted businessmen will add some whitening chemicals, which not only tastes bad, but also has great safety risks.

"Yes, old man, make a pot of tofu and prepare for the New Year!" Hearing the old man's laughter, Zhang Feng put down the tongs, and quickly stood up and said.

In Moon Lake, every year during the Chinese New Year, almost every household will push a pot of tofu, make twenty or thirty pieces at a time, make fresh tofu into dried tofu, or fry it into dried tofu with vegetable oil, so that it can be stored for a long time, and when guests come to the house, they can be used to entertain guests.

At this time, although the transportation is convenient and there is no shortage of vegetables in the village, it has become a custom in the village to push a pot of tofu during the New Year, and everyone has developed the habit of pushing tofu for the New Year, just like making rice cakes, which is almost indispensable.

"Okay! Just make your own tofu! Xiao Feng will give a few pieces to the old man when the time comes!!" Seeing the steaming soy milk in the pot, the old man was full of smiles.

At the same time, I also remembered my childhood memories, when I was materially poor, almost every family lacked food and clothing, and every year during the Chinese New Year, I could push a pot of tofu, which was a very happy thing.

Every time the adults cook tofu, the children will stare at the soy milk in the pot, which is the adults will always smile and shake their heads, and then give everyone a bowl of hot soy milk, and then put some brown sugar sprinkles, mix it, the taste is sweet and sweet, it is simply delicious in the world.

"No problem, my family can't eat so much!!" Zhang Feng already had such a big calculation, so he readily agreed.

"Hehe, thank you so much, I'll make some tofu then, it's good to eat. The old man was so happy that he smiled like a child.

"It's great, I'll learn more when the time comes. Zhang Feng said in surprise, if there is an old man as a chef to teach, it would be great.

Although his cooking skills are good, but the old man has been a chef all his life, what kind of food can't be cooked, in addition to all kinds of delicious dishes, all kinds of snacks and even seasonings are very good, such an experience is not what Zhang Feng has now, which requires the accumulation of time and the precipitation of years.

Grandma Liu smiled, watching the two chat, while holding a spoon to knock off the foam in the pot, the older generation is versatile, capable of writing and martial arts, and is very clear about all kinds of work in the countryside.

"Xiaofeng, you can put the sour soup, where is the sour soup at your house??" After burning for a while, I saw that the soy milk was getting thicker and thicker, and it was time to order tofu.

This is the most important step in making tofu, we often hear about brine tofu, in which the brine is the key to the formation of tofu.

In addition to sour soup, there are other types of brine, such as gypsum, which is not well treated and has a spicy taste, and it is easy to break. Tofu in sour soup not only tastes good, but also has good toughness and is easier to taste.

"On the table!"

"Well, this sour soup is sour enough! it tastes good!" Grandma Liu dipped her finger in a little, tasted it, and immediately praised it. Because only a good brine can order good tofu.

Grandma Liu is extremely skillful in her movements, and she obviously made tofu when she was young, and it seems that she has done it more than once.

"Wow! Grandma Liu is so amazing!" I don't know when the little girl ran in again, and was surprised to see Grandma Liu's way of ordering tofu, but she didn't expect the old ladies from the city to be so powerful.

"Hehe, we didn't do anything when we went to the mountains and went to the countryside, and some female comrades would plow the fields and plough the fields!" Grandma Liu said with a smile, obviously very happy.

"Ah, Grandma Liu, have you ever been an educated youth??" the little girl was suddenly startled and asked curiously,

"Of course, I met your grandfather Liu when I went to the countryside to be an educated youth. Grandma Liu smiled sweetly, thinking about the days at that time, although it was very hard, it was also evocative and unforgettable, and it is estimated that I will never forget it in my life.

"Hehe, Grandma Liu, can you tell me about what happened between you and Grandpa Liu?" the little girl asked gossipingly.

"Hehe, back then, your grandfather Liu lived in the small village where I was a young intellectual.................." Grandma Liu smiled while slowly telling the little girl about the encounter between the two back then.

Grandpa Liu was an honest man back then, and when he saw the girl from the city for the first time, his face was red to the base of his neck, which made everyone laugh.

However, Grandpa Liu is down-to-earth, diligent, and helpful, and once again Grandma Liu injured her foot while working, and it was he who helped Grandma Liu to work in the dormitory.

So, the two met by mistake, and slowly developed to the present, and finally after the change, Grandma Liu was admitted to the university and became a teacher, and Grandpa Liu also went to the city as an apprentice chef, and finally opened his own restaurant, which is now famous in the province.

It can be said that the two elders have known each other in the end of the micro, and they have never left each other, holding hands, and growing old.

…………

In the blink of an eye, two days passed

Chinese New Year's Eve is not far away, only a short dozen days.

Therefore, every household in the village began to be busy preparing New Year's goods, killing New Year's pigs, marinating bacon, filling sausages, pushing tofu, beating rice cakes, and preparing all kinds of delicious things.

This year is an unprecedented harvest year for the villagers of Moon Lake, and in this short period of half a year, everyone's lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Under the leadership of Zhang Feng, everyone planted vegetables, sold fruits, and dug matsutake mushrooms, all of which were ways to make a lot of money, and in just half a year, the villagers' income almost increased tenfold.

In the past, everyone worked hard for a year, but they only got some three melons and two dates, and if they could have an income of twenty or thirty thousand yuan a year, they had to burn high incense, which was just, God bless.

But this year, although everyone is still farming the same, because of the seeds and medicines provided by Zhang Feng, and the good sales channels, everyone's income has miraculously reached two or three hundred thousand.

This is two or three hundred thousand, which is a huge amount for the villagers, and before that, they couldn't even imagine the income.

Therefore, this year's Spring Festival, the village is more lively, everyone is smiling, red faces, and the spirit is surprisingly good.

After making money, everyone is more willing to buy New Year's goods, and all kinds of tobacco, alcohol and beverages that everyone was reluctant to use in the past are sold in boxes and taken home.

The little babies in the village have their purses bulging, and every day the business of Uncle Erniu's commissary is much better.
