Chapter 163: Tofu

An Lan was shocked by her arrogance, she said in her heart: "It turned out that she wanted to compare, her young lady and that young lady must be at odds, maybe the two are rivals in love, and then they think about comparing each other all day long, which is cheaper for themselves, ten times the trees, a stone flower in modern times is only a few dollars, counting the flower bowl is only 10 yuan, this ancient is money many people are stupid, if I don't spend 20 taels to buy a rotten stone flower!" ”

"Can't you all be the masters? Call your shopkeeper out, and I'll talk to him. Seeing that An Lan didn't answer herself, the decent maid thought about it for a while, figured out the reason, and then said with a smile.

"Don't hide it, Miss, I'm the shopkeeper, the flowers you want are not impossible, but you need to pay a deposit first, I am begging our florist master to choose a large stone flower for you, you pay a deposit first, we can book it for you." An Lan explained gently.

Since the full moon opened, I can meet any kind of rich man, but there are a lot of strange and superb, it doesn't matter, as long as you can make money, it doesn't matter......

"No problem, that's as it should be." The decent maid blinked, and then said categorically.

"This young lady, please here, I will write you a receipt first, and then you can use this note to pick up Shi Shenghua in our store tomorrow evening." An Lan smiled and made a "please" gesture, then walked to the cashier with the ledger.

Han Qiao pouted and said secretly: "Miss is too exalted to them, they are all maids, Miss still opens her eyes and says nonsense to compliment them, but they still look like they take it for granted, what are you pretending?" They can only grovel in front of their masters, they have no dignity at all, where are they like our young lady, who have never treated us as outsiders. However, Xiaofei and they have no news so far, why haven't those guys come back......"

"Here you go, 2 taels of silver." The decent maid tossed the broken silver in her hand and placed it on the wooden table.

An Lan quickly wrote the receipt, then gave her the note, quickly put the silver into the cabinet, and then locked it casually, and made a note in the account book by the way.

The decent maid looked at An Lan's poor and sour look, and she looked down on her heart, and she said with disdain in her heart,

"What kind of people are they! The counter still has to be locked, so that a little bit of broken silver can only be seen by these small people who are promoted to the bucket, or it is better to be themselves, as long as the young lady is happy, they can get a very rich reward. Look at the material she wears, but only a young lady from a small family can wear it...... "The decent maid walked out with a high sense of superiority."

Han Qiao saw her leave proudly, so she whispered to An Lan with her disdainful expression, An Lan just smiled after hearing it, and then comforted Han Qiao,

"Hanqiao, we just want to make them feel that they are God, so that they will be willing to pay for money, who wants to spend money to see people's faces! So, you have to be in a good state of mind, and you can't worry about these details......"

"Miss, I know, but I just can't get used to seeing their faces, I think I'm noble, but in fact they're nothing." Han Qiao was still a little indignant.

I understand the reason, but I'm not Miss You, as long as you have money, you can give up a qiē, including dignity, the eldest young master has an upright face, how can there be such a philistine sister!

"Okay, let's wait another half an hour, if no one comes to the door, we'll close the door and go home to make tofu." An Lan was still very angry when she saw Hanqiao, and she said with some amusement.

"Miss, really." Han Qiao's eyes sparkled and said.

Miss is really looking forward to making food, I really hope that the tofu is as delicious as she said, and Miss should not let us down.

"Well, Hanqiao, you first ask Duan Yan to pull out a few stone flowers, and let him find the branches directly, don't alarm your aunt, you know!" An Lan said with a smile.

Auntie, don't you want to have a little cousin for us at home? Hee-hee, this is the legendary old clam shengzhu? I'm really looking forward to her good news.

"Yes, miss." Han Qiao lowered his head in shame.

Miss can still laugh, who doesn't know that Mrs. Ji and her husband are now in love and sweet, and Miss is not heartless to tease her aunt, and Miss is also bold.

"You remember the request of the two customers just now! Don't forget about jì. We must not forget jì, otherwise the silver in our hands will be gone, and it will have an impact on our reputation. An Lan said uneasily.

"Well, miss, I remember." Han Qiao nodded heavily, taking An Lan's words to heart.

Han Qiao opened the door connecting to the backyard, and then ran to the backyard, An Lan saw Han Qiao leave the store, and she sat at the cash register bored to write and draw to pass the time.

……

"Miss, what are you doing, do you need help?" Panqiu saw that Hanqiao and An Lan were busy soaking a kind of yellow beans, so she came to the yard while the second lady was asleep, and wanted to ask them if they needed help, and by the way, she would give a hand.

"Panqiu, you came just in time. You clean up the stone mill in the yard with water, and then it's all right. An Lan raised her head and pointed to the mossy stone mill in the corner of the yard.

"Yes, Miss." Panqiu got the task and began to prepare to clean the stone mill.

"Miss, you said that the owner of this shop was really thoughtful, and he actually thought of digging a well in the backyard, which is really convenient for our life." Hanqiao's most satisfying place is the well, which is so convenient.

"Maybe they can't help it, they need to look at the store, and they don't have time to go outside to fetch water, so they dig a well." An Lan casually refuted Han Qiao's words, but she was a little speechless in her heart, she had never seen Han Qiao's such a verbose housekeeper, she hung a few leaves in the yard all day long, I really don't know how she survived in a big family before she was so broken-mouthed, she was lucky not to be killed by her master......

"That's right!" Han Qiao suddenly realized, she didn't forget to pat the ass,

"Miss's realm is just not ordinary, something we didn't expect, you casually told the truth."

"......" An Lan was speechless, the previous Hanqiao was very obedient, and she didn't talk much, I liked her so much......

Pan Qiu snickered on the side, it turned out that Sister Hanqiao really didn't say anything wrong! The eldest lady is really easy to talk to, and she is very generous to her own people, and she didn't believe it before, but now she has no doubts at all.

Not all of this world are bad masters, there is really a master like the eldest lady who treats his subordinates as friends, and it is good that he can stay in the family......

……

"Miss, it's already soaked, you see, the soybeans are soft." Han Qiao said excitedly.

It's really troublesome to soak for so long, it's all night.

"Han Qiao, Pan Qiu and Duan Yan have already gone to the store? Have you packed the flower pots? An Lan yawned and asked absent-mindedly.

"Everything is done, miss, don't worry. Let's make tofu faster! Han Qiao urged.

"Well, don't worry, are you ready for what you prepared?" An Lan looked careless, and made Han Qiao jump to his feet in a hurry.

"Ready. But I don't know what gypsum is, the brine you said is okay, I just made some brine last night, I don't know if it's okay? Han Qiao looked at An Lan a little nervously, she was afraid that the young lady would veto her approach.

"Well, well done. Then let's start grinding soy milk! An Lan picked up the soaked beans in the small wooden basin and walked in the direction of the stone mill.

Han Qiao and An Lan worked together, one turned the stone mill, and the other added soybeans, fortunately, the stone mill was relatively small, and one person could push it, but Han Qiao was a girl in the end, and she was not very old, so it was a little difficult to push the stone mill.

"Miss, let me do all this rough work!" Shen Zhong was very distressed when he saw Han Qiao pushing the stone mill hard, so he said to An Lan euphemistically.

"Well, then you can help Hanqiao grind! I'm not tired, it's easy to add beans. An Lan didn't break Shen Zhong's little thoughts, she just thought that he was kind and wanted to help.

A man just wants to love his wife, Shen Zhong, it's good, my sister supports you......

"Miss, I'll add beans!" Han Qiao saw that she was idle, but the young lady was doing things instead, she was a little unhappy, so she discussed with An Lan in a whisper.

"No, you can just watch how I add beans from the sidelines, I'll just demonstrate it today, and you and Shen Zhong will grind beans in the future, so I can relax."

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Han Qiao pretended not to understand, but he was a little happy in his heart, it would be good to stay with Shen Zhong for a while......

After grinding the beans, An Lan asked Shen Zhong to tie the rope to the beam, and then tied a cross wooden frame parallel to the ground at the lower end of the rope, and placed a clean wooden basin under the cross to receive soybean milk. After that, he tied the corners of a large piece of gauze with a rope at the four corners of the cross, and then put the ground soybean milk on top of the gauze, and then signaled Shen Zhong to shake the cross and filter the bean dregs, so that the tofu would be free of impurities.

An Lan carried the filtered soy milk in the wooden basin, and then came to the kitchen, and several people worked together to start cooking the soy milk.

"Han Qiao, I have looked at my technique, so that if you order marinade, the taste of tofu will be better. Hanqiao, pay attention to the firewood evenly, do not use high heat, so that the tofu will not be very old. Point brine, the main thing is point, you can't sprinkle brine, you know? An Lan demonstrated and explained.

Han Qiao carefully observed An Lan's technique, and paid attention to the firewood in the stove from time to time.

"If you see it, you have to stop the pulp at this time, it has been preliminarily formed, and it can be boiled for about half an hour."

Han Qiao quickly remembered An Lan's approach in her heart, she admires An Lan very much now, Miss is also the first time to make tofu, she can be so skilled, sure enough, Miss is different, we can only look up.

"Shen Zhong, bring the mold, scoop the tofu into the mold, pay attention to put a piece of gauze in the mold, and then press it into a boxy shape." An Lan said calmly. R1152
