(Return my "ticket fist", newcomers and new books, recommendation tickets are very important, I have to shout a few times.) Well, today's second update has been released...... ）

After Li Cheng learned the skills of horse training, he and everyone were busy preparing dinner, which took about several hours, including slaughtering cattle and sheep and handling ingredients.

Then he mysteriously returned to the kitchen of the villa and concocted a mysterious ingredient.

"Well, if you make tofu, the first thing is the choice of soybeans, and the soybeans in Quebec are famous in Shijie, I don't know what the quality of the tofu is?" Li Cheng beat the soy milk several times in a row, and then put it in a plastic bucket, put gauze in another bucket, filter out the dregs, put the soy milk into a large pot and cook it slowly over low heat, and observe the heat at any time, with cold water around him, and the soy milk is almost overflowing and used to extinguish it.

After boiling, Li Cheng waited for a few minutes, and after seeing a layer of bean skin appearing in the soy milk in the pot, he knew that the most critical time had come.

Li Cheng's attention was highly concentrated, holding a bottle of white vinegar in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand. The white vinegar was poured into the pot bit by bit, and Li Cheng stirred the soy milk in a clockwise direction, forming a scene like a galaxy.

Old Peake was very curious about this, I don't know what Li Cheng is doing, smelling the smell of beans all over the house, and thinking that Li Cheng is making soy milk, is it necessary to be sneaky? At the suggestion of the federal government, the people in Canada have also begun to accept soy milk, especially ordinary people, who are not financially rich, soy milk is much cheaper than milk, and the nutritional value is not weaker than milk, but in the eyes of many rich people, soy milk is still a drink for the poor, and it is also synonymous with poverty, so it is not prosperous in high society.

When Li Cheng was stirring, he paid attention to the amount of white vinegar, always paid attention to the movement in the pot, stirred slowly, and was not in a hurry at all.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, this truth Li Cheng is very clear, this home-style way of making tofu, Li Cheng found it from the Internet, and has always wanted to make it by himself, but because of the tools and ingredients, it happened that he went to the town today, accidentally met Mrs. Daphne, bought the necessary tools, and considering that the old Peake's daughter came to the grizzly bear ranch for the first time, Li Cheng, as the host, needed to use the most haode food to receive Miss Elisa.

The so-called borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, Li Cheng completely saw the face of the old Pique, because of the difference in culture and belief, some things are difficult to explain directly, but Li Cheng's kindness, he believes that the old Pique will understand.

After a few minutes, the soy milk in the pot did not change much, and Old Peake was a little impatient, and planned to ask Li Cheng what he was doing.

As soon as I got closer, all of a sudden, the soy milk in the pot produced flocculents, and then little by little it changed its shape, from liquid to solid!

Soybean milk turned into tofu, this invention is one of the greatest inventions of the ancient sages, created by Liu An, the king of Huainan, an alchemist of the Han Dynasty! The highly toxic brine point tofu has formed a traditional Chinese ingredient with high compatibility.

"Oh my God, God forbid, I can't be dreaming, right?" Old Peake exclaimed, Li Cheng was suddenly startled, the spoon fell to the ground, and he couldn't help complaining: "Old Peake, are you a ghost?" I didn't make a sound when I walked.

"Hey Boss, I'm sorry to scare you, tell me how you did it, it's like magic." Old Peake said apologetically, anxious to know the truth, and his tone was full of anxiety.

Li Cheng waved his hand, picked up the spoon on the ground, and said, "My esteemed old fellow, Your Excellency Peake, you think that the magician will reveal the secret of his magic, if you want to know, then help me go to the cellar and get a bottle of 98 year old Edrador whiskey." ”

"Okay, no problem." 98-year-old whisky is now more than 15 years old, and the best age for whisky is 15-20 years, and the quality will decline after 20 years, not the longer the better.

Li Cheng actually has follow-up things that have not been dealt with well, and he can't delay it at a critical time, and use the excuse of taking wine to lure away Lao Pique, of course, white vinegar and tofu are very wonderful in the eyes of foreigners, but Chinese people are not surprised.

After all, I have eaten tofu for thousands of years, and more than a billion Chinese people eat this ingredient almost every day......

After ordering the tofu, Li Cheng wrapped the mold with another piece of high-temperature sterilized gauze and began to shape it, which is a small tofu mold, which is probably just a large piece, which is not enough to completely shape the tofu brain of this large pot.

Fortunately, Li Cheng bought four molds for emergencies, and he should be able to make four large pieces of fresh white vinegar tofu, right? In order to avoid the sour taste of tofu being too heavy, Li Cheng paid attention to the amount of tofu added when ordering tofu, whether it was sour or not, and he still needed to taste it to know, but it was not easy to succeed in ordering tofu for the first time.

After pouring all into the mold, wrap it in gauze, cover it with a wooden lid, press it with a heavy object, and wait for half an hour or dozens of minutes, the longer it is pressed, the less moisture the tofu will have, and the taste will be older, and on the contrary, it will be more tender.

"It's finally finished, look at the time, old Peake's son and son-in-law are almost there, I don't know if I can catch up?" As soon as Li Cheng finished speaking, Old Peake took a bottle of whiskey and two glasses in a hurry, and it is estimated that the matter of ordering tofu is still haunting his mind!

Open the wine bottle and pour whiskey, old Peake was extremely attentive, Li Cheng sat on the sofa, drank a sip of whiskey very much, tired and paused, and said with a smile: "Old Peake, the so-called change of soybean milk from liquid to solid is actually using scientific knowledge, and this method appeared in ancient times thousands of years ago, in fact, it is to change the soybean molecule, to achieve recombination, so that soybeans can be sublimated, which is more conducive to the absorption of the human body." ”

"Oh, I see, I've heard of tofu before, but I've never eaten it."

"Well, this tofu feast is specially for old Peake, your daughter, and they are picking up the wind and dust!" After Li Cheng said this, Old Peake was very moved and said, "Xiexie, thank God for letting me know you." ”

While waiting for the tofu to take shape, Li Cheng and the old Peake talked a lot about the future direction of the development of the ranch, the old Peake suggested going to other pastures to buy some calves and lambs, but Li Cheng had a new idea, planning to raise horses, Calgary cowboys are prevalent, the rise of the horse racing industry has led to an increase in demand for horses, and he also has an idea, that is, to export Canadian horses to China.

The domestic economic conditions are better, many white-collar workers are also keen on horseback riding, many horse farms are anxious because they are suffering from the lack of good horses, most of them are imported in the United States to train haode quartt horses, a horse is almost hundreds of thousands of soft sister coins, in fact, it is just an ordinary ranch horse, most of them are thousands of dollars, and they have earned dozens of times more than a hand, and the domestic horse breeding industry is limited to Mongolian horses, so there is not much development, so Li Cheng sees the domestic market for horse demand.

In addition, Canada, the United States and other neighboring countries and Europe also have a relatively large demand for horses, especially horses with excellent pedigrees.

"Old Peake, I think it's better to specialize in raising horses, and cattle and sheep can be raised less, just enough to eat."

"Yes, it takes too much effort and cost to raise horses, and it will not be able to recover the capital for a while and a half, raising cattle and sheep, and the funds will be returned quickly." The elder Peake knows very well that raising horses is not a matter of being able to produce benefits in a while, and it takes a group of wild horses with good bloodlines, and then after scientific cultivation and training, as well as contacting customers, competitions, and establishing the reputation of the ranch, the difficulty of which will take years, even decades, to complete.

Most horse farms are bred with wild horses, the kind of free-range horses with mottled pedigree, and it is difficult to produce good horses, and then sell them to specialized horse farms or ranches that mainly breed horses.

The elder Peake's experience shows how difficult it can be to set up a ranch dedicated to keeping horses.

"These are not problems, my funds are enough to build a professional horse farm, you just need to pay attention to whether there are good wild horses in other ranches, remember not to pick the kind of trained haode ranch horses, as long as wild horses or ponies, in this way, the cost will be less, and the plasticity is stronger, you understand this aspect, and you can go to the surrounding pastures when you have time." After Li Cheng obtained the Red Rabbit Horse, in the close contact with the horse, he began to like this kind of human good friend, so he planned to breed some excellent sweat and blood horses, the Red Rabbit is a stallion, can shoulder the task of its reproduction......

Of course, if you pick out horses with excellent pedigrees, there will be more bloodline inheritance in the pasture, which requires the advantage of quantity, so that the old Peake pays attention to the wild horses in the surrounding pastures, but also to "pick up the leaks", the price of wild horses is generally not high, probably a few hundred dollars or thousands of dollars, but a well-trained ranch horse is a few thousand dollars.

Since you want to build a horse farm, the first choice is wild horses and ponies, in which you can earn a certain difference and profit, which is a long-term investment.

After talking about business for a while, it was late at night, and George's Mediterranean Western food was almost done, Li Cheng was about to show his hand, and asked Old Peake: "Can you call Alyssa and them, see if you are ready to go to the grizzly bear ranch?" Or do you drive to pick it up? Don't get lost. ”

"Well, maybe there was a delay on the way."

Old Peake walked out of the villa, made a phone call, and hurriedly drove to a fork in the road more than a dozen miles to pick up Alyssa and them, probably because he didn't know the way, and it was getting late, and after the road conditions deteriorated, it was also a test for the driver.

Li Cheng made a tofu feast with four large pieces of fresh tofu, including mapo tofu, home-style tofu, tofu and vegetable soup, and so on......

A sumptuous tofu dish caught Deku's attention as soon as it was served, and George's elaborate Western meal was overshadowed.

"Boss, your tofu came from a domestic courier?" Deku had never seen tofu sold in Canada, and was about to clip a piece with his hand, but was stopped by Li Cheng, and scolded with a smile: "Deku, do you think the tofu will stink when it comes over?" Do you want me to take a can of stinky tofu for you to taste? These dishes are to be eaten when Alyssa and the others come, do you understand? ”

"If Alyssa didn't have a boyfriend, I'm sure she would fall in love with you!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Don't move, OK? Like a soldier guarding the territory, Li Cheng stood by the table in the courtyard of the ranch, allowing Deku to wear out his mouth, and not letting him taste it, so he had to take the imported canned stinky tofu he bought in the town.

"Deku, don't you like tofu? This is authentic stinky tofu! After Li Cheng opened it, a foul smell hit people, and Deku almost fainted.

"Please, can this be eaten? For God's sake, get out of the way! Deku said with an uncomfortable expression, he was the closest, so he felt it the most.

George and Byron, the two cowboys, also covered their noses and said that they didn't dare to go any further.

"Ignorant white skin!" Li Cheng muttered in Chinese, ate a piece by himself, and said, "I should eat it with rice, but the taste is quite authentic, good, good." ”

Li Chengba chirped, sealed the canned stinky tofu, and had an unfinished expression.
