Chapter 736: Sky-high Tofu
Everyone also ate, but only one person didn't eat, and that was the second cousin, because the second cousin was watching the fire.
The eldest cousin said at this time: "Second cousin, you come over to eat first, we are almost finished." ”
The second cousin said: "I, Ma Shu, get that fire first, and I have to do this." ”
The eldest cousin took out his notes at this time and said: "This fire should be stable but not fierce, big but not fierce, remember that after the soybean milk rolls away, it needs to be boiled for another half an hour, and after it rolls away, it will take half an hour to boil, how long is this half an hour." ”
The eldest cousin also looked at the eldest cousin with disdain and said, "Eldest cousin, you still say that you have a high cultural IQ, and you don't even know half an hour, 7 minutes and 30 seconds." ”
The eldest cousin smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not testing you, you still think I really don't know." ”
Nicholas Tse was also holding the rice and then standing next to the soy milk and watching, while the eldest cousin said: "We are very short of time, today is the second day, and we are running out of time." ”
Nicholas Tse closed the lid of the pot where the soy milk was boiled, leaving a smile, and then hurried to eat.
The eldest cousin had already finished eating, took the second cousin's meal and then sandwiched a little food for him, walked to the second cousin's side and said: "Second cousin, I am still good to you, don't be so fierce to me in the future." ”
The second cousin rolled his eyes and said, "If you hadn't been chattering, how could I have murdered you, mainly because you were too annoying." ”
Although the two of them were noisy, the eldest cousin still fed the second cousin to eat, because the second cousin was really hard, and after cooking, he didn't start working again after a while, and the most tired person here should be the second cousin.
After everyone had eaten, the eldest cousin and the eldest cousin were chatting, and Hu Yang and Ye Bingyu took the dishes and chopsticks back with them.
However, just when so many people didn't notice, the soy milk opened.
Nicholas Tse also walked to the second cousin at this time and said to the second cousin: "Because the sauce is very thick now, very thick, its texture is very thick, you can take a look at the marinated sauce, the one we marinated yesterday." ”
Nicholas Tse took his second cousin to pass by Yang Mi, and Yang Mi also grabbed Nicholas Tse and said, "Is it Brother Tingfeng?" ”
Nicholas Tse also shouted: "Ah!"
At this time, everyone found that the soy milk had been opened, and Nicholas Tse quickly opened the lid of the pot to see if the soy milk was broken.
The eldest cousin and Yang Mi also exclaimed, and the eldest cousin hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
"Wow, mush, mush?" Yang Mi also hurriedly asked.
Nicholas Tse had already opened the lid at this time, and looked at the hot air coming up and said, "Who said the cover." ”
Nicholas Tse looked at the soy milk and then sighed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, otherwise we won't even be able to pay off the rent." ”
Looking at the freshly baked soy milk, the eldest cousin said with a smile: "Come, it's time to drink soy milk." ”
Yang Mi also took a spoon and a bowl, took a spoonful and said, "Here you go, how about you taste it?"
The eldest cousin smiled and said, "It's better for you, you are a guest, you can taste it first." ”
Yang Mi also smiled and said, "I'm embarrassed for you to say that." ”
Because it was just such a bowl, everyone also watched Yang Mi take a sip, and after drinking, Yang Mi also said, "I think it's okay." ”
Nicholas Tse also didn't expect to smile and asked, "Really?"
Yang Mi smiled and said, "I think it's delicious." ”
Everyone also took turns to drink, and the little cousin took it over to the second cousin to drink, because the second cousin was responsible for lighting the fire and couldn't come over to drink, and the second cousin also said after drinking: "Thunder Wind, it's delicious, it's the kind of soy milk that I drank in Kyoto very authentic." ”
The eldest cousin also said at this time: "Then we are going to order the marinade, what should we do now, this point marinade must wait for the temperature of the soybean milk to drop to 80 to 85 degrees, we can talk about the salt and brine poured in slowly and evenly, and there is constant stirring in one direction, and then there will be flocculent sediment, so that our marinade will be successful." ”
Nicholas Tse said: "Now this temperature is very important, we must master this problem, and how much we add to this brine." ”
The eldest cousin nodded and said, "Let's feel this brine, feel how much it will have, that is, if it is 0.6 catties to 30 catties, it is almost fifty times, which is one-fiftieth of its brine." ”
The eldest cousin also pointed to the soy milk that was weighed into the wooden barrel as he spoke, and Nicholas Tse also held a big spoon, compared it to this spoon and said, "That's easy." ”
The second cousin said, "This spoon, I think it should be full." ”
Nicholas Tse said: "You don't have to be full, that's it, I think it's enough." ”
The eldest cousin said, "Measure the temperature again, eighty to eighty-five degrees." ”
Nicholas Tse took a thermometer to measure that the current temperature is too high, 90 degrees, and Nicholas Tse also said: "The temperature is too high now, let's wait a little longer." ”
After measuring again and again, the temperature finally dropped to 85 degrees, and the eldest cousin also said to Nicholas Tse: "Only once can you succeed." ”
Yang Mi poured the salt brine that Nicholas Tse boiled yesterday into the spoon, and the eldest cousin also said: "Okay, success or failure is here." ”
Yang Mi thought about what her eldest cousin said to herself just now: "The process of ordering marinade is very important, if we don't order it right, then all the previous efforts will be wasted, one more point will be old, and one less point will be scattered." ”
Therefore, Yang Mi is also extremely nervous, of course, this also makes her more engrossed, because this is the result of the hard work of the flavor family, and she can't just lose in her own hands.
The eldest cousin said at this time: "Mimi, you have to believe in yourself, I think you will bring us good luck." ”
The eldest cousin said so, Yang Mi is also more Alexander, of course, Nicholas Tse has been paying attention to the amount of salt brine poured by Yang Mi, thinking that he must not fail, if this fails, then there is really no way to save it, this is not a stinky mandarin fish can borrow one.
Seeing that the salt brine was almost there, Nicholas Tse also hurriedly said, "Is it okay, second cousin, you will be responsible for stirring." ”
The second cousin took the spoon and said, "No problem, just leave it to me." ”
The eldest cousin was also worried and said, "We have to stir evenly in one direction." ”
The second cousin nodded, and then slowly and carefully began to stir, Yang Mi also asked, "It's all down?"
Nicholas Tse nodded and said, "Pour." Then he stared at the soy milk with all his attention, and whether it could succeed could only be seen.
Yang Mi slowly poured the salt brine into the soybean milk, and the second cousin also stirred evenly, Yang Mi's salt brine was almost poured, and the flocculent also appeared, and the eldest cousin hurriedly said to the second cousin: "Slow down." ”
Yang Mi finished pouring all the salt and brine, and also squatted in front of the wooden barrel with Nicholas Tse and a few of them, looking at the flocculent formed by the soybean milk in the wooden barrel, and said: "Yes, yes, yes." ”
The eldest cousin hurriedly said at this time: "Yes, if there is flocculent, don't move it again." ”
The eldest cousin also reacted at this time and said, "Yes, and then settle for ten to fifteen minutes." ”
When the second cousin heard this, he quickly took out the spoon and stopped stirring, and the eldest cousin looked at the color and said, "I think the color is pretty good." ”
The eldest cousin nodded and said, "Yes, very good." ”
The little cousin also said happily: "Yes, we have succeeded in ordering tofu." ”
Hu Yang and Ye Bingyu had also already come over, and after suddenly opening the door, they said, "What is so happy, I heard the voice of my little cousin outside the door." ”
The little cousin happily said to Hu Yang: "Boss, we have succeeded in ordering tofu marinade, come and have a look." ”
Populus euphratica took a look at it in the past, and it was indeed successful, there was already a flocculent, and now it was good to wait for the block.
Fifteen minutes later, Nicholas Tse also said, "Big cousin, fifteen minutes is up." ”
The eldest cousin looked at the time and said, "Okay, then we can fish out the tofu now, and we should squat now." ”
The little cousin asked puzzledly, "Squatting brain, why is it called squatting brain?"
The eldest cousin said with a smile: "Don't worry about it so much, it's just one way, hurry up and set up the molds for making tofu for me, and spread the gauze." ”
The eldest cousin watched the little cousin help him get everything right, and also said, "Okay, that's it." ”
Then I also took the tofu brain in the wooden barrel, spoonful by spoonful, into the mold, after the tofu was pressed into shape, the mold was also removed, and then pressed on the wooden board, and continued to make the second piece of tofu, because it would take a lot of time to make 130 pieces of tofu.
Then it was to press the tofu for a few hours, and Nicholas Tse and they could finally take a rest, and Nicholas Tse also lay down directly on the chair and said, "I'm so tired, I can finally rest for a while." ”
A few hours passed quickly, and Nicholas Tse also took everyone back to the tofu shop to remove the things that were going to be on the tofu, and Nicholas Tse also said: "It's really good." ”
Yang Mi asked, "Okay, is it still loose?"
Nicholas Tse replied, "Almost." ”
Nicholas Tse also began to cut tofu, and the other members of the flavor family and Yang Mi were responsible for wrapping the tofu with small pieces of gauze.
Nicholas Tse cut all the tofu into pieces and said, "In this way, Mimi and I will sell tofu outside, because after all, we still have to pay rent, pay this rent." ”
The eldest cousin hurriedly said at this time: "I have already asked just now, although the local tofu is five pieces a piece, but you want to find a way to raise the price." ”
Nicholas Tse nodded and said, "Yes, five pieces a piece, raise the price?"
The eldest cousin stammered: "Raise the price, the unit price should be raised." ”
Nicholas Tse nodded and said, "Okay, I know, then the others will be in trouble to return the tofu to the owner of our street beans." ”
The eldest cousin nodded and said, "Fellow." ”
Nicholas Tse hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
Of course, before selling tofu and returning tofu, they have to press the tofu first, because to make dried tofu, they must first wrap the tofu blocks, and then place them evenly on the wooden board, and then they must be pressed very carefully, because if it is too loose, it will not be formed, and if it is too tight, it will be crushed.
The eldest cousin also commanded and said: "Actually, it only needs to be evenly stressed." ”
Yang Mi said: "You must be even." ”
The little cousin counted: "One, two, three, four, five, six." ”
The eldest cousin continued: "Average force is fine. ”
The little cousin put it seriously, and the eldest cousin helped bring the heavy rice board, and there was more than one, and the little cousin also helped to get the wooden board.
Wooden planks were stacked one after another, and in the middle was tofu, and the eldest cousin counted the targets and said, "Three pieces, two more pieces for the eldest cousin." ”
After the eldest cousin put the plank on it, the eldest cousin also said, "It's really heavy, just have another piece." ”
The little cousin also came over with a wooden board at this time, and after putting it on, the eldest cousin also said, "OK, it's done." ”
Seeing that the tofu was pressed tightly, the eldest cousin also said: "Then while pressing here, we will sell tofu or return tofu." ”
The eldest cousin and the eldest cousin came, they borrowed soybeans from the little boy's house, but they didn't see the little boy, they saw that it was the little boy's family, and they didn't know if it was the little boy's mother or the little boy's mother-in-law, so they stepped forward and asked, "Hello auntie, is the little boy there?"
The aunt also said: "The little boy went out to work. ”
The eldest cousin was also surprised and said, "Ah, she went out to work." ”
The eldest cousin said, "Then who are you?"
The aunt said, "I'm her mother-in-law." ”
The eldest cousin said: "Ah, she is your daughter-in-law, we borrowed soybeans from your family yesterday." ”
The eldest cousin said on the side: "Yes, we have already ground it into tofu today, and then we will return it to you." ”
The eldest cousin also thought for a moment at this time and said, "Well, we owe your family fourteen catties yesterday, remember, does she have this IOU?"
The eldest cousin nodded and said, "Yes, there are a total of..."
Before the eldest cousin finished speaking, the aunt took out the IOU from her pocket, and the eldest cousin looked at it and said, "Auntie, there is." ”
Auntie asked, "Is this it?"
The eldest cousin and the eldest cousin also said together: "Yes, yes, yes." ”
The eldest cousin opened the IOU and said: "This IOU is like this, I borrowed eight catties of soybeans from Xiaotong's family, thirty-two yuan, and then smashed ten walnuts from other people, ten yuan, a total of forty-two yuan, forty-two yuan, how much fast tofu do you want?"
My aunt smiled and said, "How many pieces? How much is this tofu?"
The eldest cousin also said: "We originally priced this at ten yuan a piece. ”
After hearing this, the aunt also laughed: "Oh, ten yuan a piece." ”
