Chapter 63 Selling soy milk and hot tofu at a stall
Didn't even think about it and said yes?
It felt like he had planned it a long time ago, as if he was just waiting for her to open his mouth and keep it.
This person has a lot of careful eyes.
For the sake of his tireless efforts and thousands of miles to send the wooden trough, she didn't care about these details.
Jiang Zhilian happily went to find pillows and quilts.
The so-called dealing with one night is actually not dealing at all.
She found him the softest pillow, the thickest quilt.
The pillows are smoked with rose-scented sachets, and the fragrance is overflowing.
The quilt was just dried the day before, and it smells like the sun when you smell it carefully!
She's so nice to him.
It's so good that I can't help it, I can't help it.
And he is really good to her.
It was so good that she worked as a cargo delivery worker in the middle of the night, braved the strong wind, pulled a heavy board car, and walked more than ten kilometers, just to deliver what she needed earlier.
The next morning, when Jiang Zhilian saw the cart at the door of the unit building, her heart twitched slightly, and she turned back to the house and asked Meng Qing: "Did you pull the cart to transport so many wooden troughs last night?" ”
Meng Qing looked up at the time, it was only half past five.
He lay down in the warm quilt, stretched his legs, and said in a hoarse voice, "Well, what's wrong?" ”
"How heavy is the wooden trough? Why don't you borrow a car? "This man looks so smart, how can he do such a stupid thing!
"Where can I borrow a car in the middle of the night?" Meng Qing sat up and moved his shoulders, "I remember I told you......"
Jiang Zhilian interrupted him, "I know, you can climb the mountain with a black bear of three or four hundred catties on your back, but you have the energy!" That's amazing! But that's not how strength is used! ”
"There's no need to waste energy." Meng Qing said as she lifted the quilt and stood up, folded the quilt with her hand, and combed her sleeping hair in the mirror, "You're busy, I'll go back." ”
"I'll go back after breakfast, otherwise I don't have a conscience." Jiang Zhilian had a tough tone and didn't give him room to object.
She glared at him and went into the kitchen to cook.
Halfway through the porridge, she suddenly walked out and said angrily to Meng Qing: "I bought a three-wheeled motorcycle with a body, and if you need to pull anything in the future, just use my car." Don't pull the cart anymore, save a little strength, and be careful of lumbar muscle strain and herniated lumbar disc when you get older! ”
"......" Meng Qing smiled, he has grown, and he also knows that his lumbar muscles are strained, and his lumbar disc is herniated!
"Your little broken motorcycle, with a body, and then pull heavy loads, the oil will burn out in a while."
He had seen the motorcycle the night before, it was not parked, and it was still blocking his way, and it was difficult to find a suitable angle to go around to the door of the unit building.
He also wondered, who is so blind to see.
After a long time, it turned out to be this little girl's broken car.
"If the oil is gone, you can still ride! I'm a pedal fuel dual-purpose one! Jiang Zhilian raised her eyebrows proudly.
Meng Qing looked at her amusedly, "The asphalt roads in the city are okay, but the dirt roads in the countryside are potholes, and they weigh as heavy as the twelve wooden troughs yesterday, can you ride them?" ”
"I can't ride, you can ride!" Jiang Zhilian retorted confidently.
"Then it's better to use a cart to pull it...... Meng Qing looked at the kitchen, "Hurry up and cook, the rice porridge is going to come out." ”
“……”
What to do? can't talk about him, Jiang Zhilian is so angry!
**
With all the equipment in place, Jiang Zhilian rolled up her sleeves and prepared to do a big job.
The soybeans were washed and soaked in a large pot, and then she went to the farmers' market to buy the ingredients needed to heat the tofu.
Peppers, toons and garlic sprouts are all carefully selected by her one by one, and they are definitely the best quality in the entire market.
In the afternoon, she and her aunt chopped chili peppers, washed toons, cut garlic seedlings, and prepared all the seasonings needed to eat hot tofu.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Zhilian went to bed early, because she had to get up at one o'clock in the morning to make soy milk and hot tofu.
Setting up a morning stall is hard work, and every penny earned is real hard money.
Soy products are best eaten fresh, and she is ready to make them and sell them on the same day, and will never let soy milk and hot tofu stay overnight.
Therefore, you must get up at one o'clock, patiently grind the soy milk with a hand-cranked refiner, and after cooking, filter it carefully.
Save half of the soy milk, and then use the rest of the soy milk to make hot tofu.
It takes a little bit of effort to make hot tofu.
First, cool the soybean milk to more than 80 degrees, and then add the salt brine mixed with water, stir it many times, and mix evenly.
After about half an hour, when it has slowly solidified, put it into the wooden trough while it is hot, and carefully compact.
Wait another half an hour, and basically the tofu will be pressed into shape and ready to be demolded.
She bought a lot of drawers for tofu, which are much lighter than wooden troughs and can be stacked for easy transportation.
There are too many tricks that can be made of soy products, such as tofu brain, bean curd, bean juice, bean skin, bean sprouts, ......
But now the manpower is limited, and she doesn't have much experience in setting up a morning stall, so she didn't do too many tricks at the beginning.
Sell these two things proficiently, and when you have rich experience, you can slowly add new products later.
At five o'clock in the morning, the entrance of the national cotton factory was a little deserted, and only a few stalls selling breakfast were set up one after another.
Jiang Zhilian set up two folding tables and more than a dozen small horses.
If there are many guests and they can't serve the table, they will sit on the pony with a bowl and eat.
The weather is cold, and it is good to be able to warm your hands with a bowl.
"Long time no see, my fish sauce is almost finished, I haven't seen you coming, has anything happened recently?"
Jiang Zhilian was arranging the dishes and chopsticks, when she heard the voice, she raised her head and saw that it was Tang Xiaolong, an old acquaintance.
They don't know each other anymore, and they have a different kind of cordiality when they see each other.
"There were some small things in the family before, but now they are all solved." Jiang Zhilian asked with concern, "Grandpa Tang is very good?" ”
Tang Xiaolong sniffed: "Okay, my body is better, and I am more energetic than me." ”
After the greetings, Jiang Zhilian pointed to her stall, "Eat some?" I'm in for a treat! ”
"What's there?" Tang Xiaolong joked: "I don't want to drink the north wind with fish sauce in the morning. ”
"I don't make fish sauce now." Jiang Zhilian lifted the lid, "There is soy milk and hot tofu, can you eat it?" ”
Tang Xiaolong found a table and sat down, "Let's have a bowl of hot tofu!" ”
Jiang Zhilian asked while cutting tofu, "What seasoning to add?" There are onions, garlic, peppers, chili peppers, toons, and garlic sprouts. ”
"Add a little except pepper and garlic." Tang Xiaolong yawned loudly, he rubbed his face, and beat his spirit.
Jiang Zhilian brought the hot tofu with a good taste, and seeing that he looked tired, she asked with a smile, "Just got off the night shift?" ”
"Hmm...... There was a problem with the machine, and it had been two nights. I can't stand it, I have to go home and catch up on sleep. Tang Xiaolong picked up the spoon and dug out a large piece of tofu and stuffed it into his mouth, and instantly the saliva secreted wildly, and the whole person was a lot more sober.
"You're not hot tofu, are you?"
"Huh?" Jiang Zhilian smiled, "It's not hot tofu, what is it?" ”
Tang Xiaolong thought about it seriously, and even ate several big bites, but he couldn't find a suitable adjective, "I can't tell, I've never eaten such chewy and elastic tofu." And this seasoning too, it's so delicious! It's addictive! ”
"It's delicious, another piece?" Jiang Zhilian was very generous, and when she saw that he was tired like such a dog, she didn't wait for him to answer, so she added another bowl to him.
Tang Xiaolong ate unceremoniously, "Do you come every day?" ”
Jiang Zhilian looked up at the gradually brightening sky, "If it sells well, it will come every day." ”
Tang Xiaolong: "This texture, this taste, people who have eaten it will definitely come every day, and it is estimated that they will not be able to eat it without grabbing it at that time." ”
Jiang Zhilian laughed, "You're exaggerating, it's just hot tofu, not so much!" ”
Tang Xiaolong is not exaggerating at all, he has been working in the national cotton factory for several years, and he has eaten all the stalls in this neighborhood. He knew very well what kind of food they tasted and what kind of food would be welcomed.
This hot tofu is definitely going to be robbed.
Sure enough, Jiang Zhilian's soy milk and hot tofu became popular on the first day.
Those who work the night shift and those who work the morning shift all flock to it.
Seeing a bunch of people sitting on small ponies and devouring their faces, those who had never eaten it were curious to taste it.
Is it really that delicious? Isn't it a childcare invited?
