The South Courtyard was in full swing, and after lunch, Duan Xiang also rushed from home to help.

At this time, Xiangqin and Duan Yongyuan had already stone-milled several kilograms of soybeans into soybean milk, and the three buckets were full of bright white soybean milk.

It's just that these buckets of soy milk can't be used to make tofu right away, because there are still a lot of okara in it. After filtering out the okara, there are a little more than two buckets of soy milk left.

Parsley poured the strained soybean milk into a large pot, boiled over medium heat, stirred with a spoon in one direction, and then skimmed off the foam that boiled.

Duan Xiang has been observing and learning from the front, and the previous steps will be seen at a glance, but when he reaches the back, he finds that the knowledge of making tofu has become more and more.

Seeing Parsley keep stirring the soy milk in the pot clockwise with a spoon, Duan Xiang was curious, "If you keep stirring and stirring like this, the tofu will be made?" ”

"What's possible!" Parsley threw all the foam in the pot into a bowl, "I still have to put something." ”

"What's there?" Duan Xiang asked again.

This is where Parsley is worried, "Some tofu is made of gypsum, some is made of salt and brine, and the tofu made of these two things is not good for the body if you eat too much......" She was patronizing and happy before, and forgot to decide on the coagulant of tofu. Remembering that when I was rushing to the market in the morning, I passed by a small stall selling food additives, and Parsley couldn't help but light up in her eyes, "Uncle Xiangzi, you help me watch the pot, I'll go to the market." ”

Duan Xiang had long wanted to try it, and before Xiangqin handed him the spoon, he grabbed it in his hand, learned Xiangqin's previous movements, and stirred up the pot.

Xiangqin asked Duan Wen for money and went to the set again.

She couldn't remember it this morning, but when the soy milk was almost ready, she realized that she had forgotten a crucial process.

Without coagulant, tofu can't be made, it's just a pot of cooked soy milk.

Parsley found a stall for food additives, and there was indeed a coagulant for making tofu on the stall, which was the gluconate linamide she wanted.

In fact, to make tofu, there are two other coagulants -

Salt brine and gypsum, both of which can be used to coagulate proteins and make tofu, contain many chemical elements that are very harmful to the human body.

In comparison, parsley still decided to use gluconate lactinate.

Although the tofu solidified by the inner fat is not as white and tender as the tofu solidified by gypsum, nor is the porcelain of the tofu solidified by salt and brine, it can retain the nutrition of the original bean well, and the tofu made is also white and tender.

There wasn't much lint in the bags on the stall, and the parsley simply bought a piece of canned one, which was enough for a long time.

When she crossed the road on the way back, she heard someone call her, and Xiangqin subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw Hong Cheng leaning on the door of Santana's car, talking and laughing with a few young men.

Hong Cheng beckoned to Parsley, as if to signal her to come over.

Seeing Hong Cheng's cordial attitude towards Xiangqin, a friend beside Hong Cheng changed his face, and then whispered a few words in Hong Cheng's ear, probably saying a few ugly words to Xiangqin.

After Hong Cheng heard this, he was stunned, and then showed an expression of disbelief.

Xiangqin was overjoyed when she saw Dr. Liu coming out of the clinic, and waved her hand at him vigorously, "Dr. Liu, see you in the afternoon!" ”

Without waiting for Dr. Liu to respond, Xiangqin ran away with a large pile of things.

Hong Cheng walked up to Dr. Liu, looked at Xiangqin's distant back with him, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a slight mockery: "What, she took the place of her mother to seduce ‖ you?"

Doctor Liu glared at him, first scolded Hong Cheng for "a dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth", and then defended Xiangqin faintly, "Xiangqin is different from her mother." ”

Hong Cheng was stunned, and glanced at Dr. Liu, who was looking at Xiangqin's back, and suddenly felt awkward in his heart, brewing a kind of love that he couldn't explain.

Dr. Liu pondered, what did Xiangqin's "see you in the afternoon" just now, mean?

When he came back to his senses, he found that Hong Cheng had been staring at him, and Dr. Liu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his face was hot, and he felt inexplicably embarrassed after being seen through.

He was annoyed and angry, and raised his voice and said to Hong Cheng: "You don't go to the hotel to help your father, what do you do when you come to me every day?"

Hong Cheng reluctantly got up, stretched out his hand to look at the ten well-maintained fingers, and sighed regretfully like a treasure, "As soon as I go back, my dad will let me go to the back hall to wash the dishes. ”

The children of rich families don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they are carefree, who thinks so?

Hong Cheng came to the clinic, and Dr. Liu didn't mind, after all, his sister, who died at a young age, left Hong Cheng as a child. And Dr. Liu can have today's housekeeping skills, thanks to the support of the Hong family.

Dr. Liu glanced at the young man who was smoking next to Santana, and showed a look of disgust, "In the future, you can take your fox friends away from me!" ”

Hong Cheng approached Dr. Liu, and his voice lowered, "Now the price of vegetables is rising more and more day by day, do you know how many vegetable plots there are in the homes of my fox friends and dog friends?" I made friends with them, not for our hotel? ”

Dr. Liu was surprised, but he didn't expect that Hong Cheng, who seemed to be boundless, still had this thought, which was farther than his father's vision.

South Courtyard -

Parsley bought inner fat and came back, and it was indispensable to be pestered by Duan Xiang to ask questions. As long as they see something they don't know, who doesn't feel fresh?

"This thing can make tofu? Wouldn't it work without this thing? "Duan Xiang has a lot of questions.

"I'll tell you when I have time." Parsley sealed the hole in the stove, and the fire inside was quickly extinguished. "Dry the soy milk for a while."

Parsley came out of the kitchen, and washed out the big basin that Duan Yongyuan used to break the bud valley last time, and put a little gluconate linamide in the basin in proportion.

After that, she asked Duan Xiang and Duan Yongyuan to work together to bring the cauldron out of the kitchen and pour all the soy milk into the basin.

After stirring the inner fat of the pot with a spoon, Parsley put the soy milk in the pot, and she covered the prepared tofu cloth in a large round basket made of bamboo.

About a quarter of an hour later, Duan Xiang, who was squatting next to the basin, found that the soy milk inside had changed significantly, "It has become bean curd!" ”

Duan Yongyuan and Duan Wen also stretched out their heads and looked at it a few times.

"Okay, let's empty the basket!" Parsley said.

Duan Xiang and Duan Yongyuan grabbed the side of the basin alone, and Duan Yongyuan looked a little hesitant before lifting the basin.

The basket is not comparable to the basin, and once the water is poured into the basket, it is completely drained. Isn't there a saying called "the bamboo basket is empty"!

"If you pour it into the basket, will it all leak out?" Duan Yongyuan asked stupidly, he was also worried that all the things he had worked so hard to make would be in vain.

The answer to this kind of question, even Duan Xiang knew, he pointed to the bean curd sinking in the pot, "This is not soy milk, soy milk has become bean curd, how can it leak out?" ”

"Don't worry, it won't leak!" After finishing speaking, Parsley urged again, "Hurry up!" ”

Duan Xiang and Duan Yongyuan carried the basin and poured the bean curd into the tofu cloth in the big round basket.

Just as Duan Yongyuan was worried, something still penetrated the tofu cloth and flowed out of the gap in the big round basket.
