Chapter 240: Be Your Bridegroom's Official (Second Watch)
Then, another period of patient waiting.
"Qing'er, there is no more water out of there, can it be revealed?" Sun asked again.
Yang Ruoqing walked over to check it and nodded: "It's almost." ”
"Xiao An goes to the small pot stove to burn the fire, I'll cut this plate of dried tofu, and when I finish cutting the dried tofu, you will scoop the tofu brain in the big pot into the mold!"
"Done!"
The family went their separate ways.
Yang Ruoqing removed the press plate and uncovered the gauze, revealing the dried tofu that was obviously thinner than the tofu inside, but obviously harder.
Use a knife to cut out the appropriate number of pieces of thickness and length and width, put them in the dustpan on the side, and then bring them to the side of the pot.
Put an appropriate amount of rapeseed oil in the hot pan, and Yang Ruoqing began to fry the chopped dried tofu in the oil pan.
"Da'an, the fire can't be too big, it's easy to burn." She used a spatula to swap the two sides of the dried tofu, while telling Da'an at the stove.
"Hmm!"
There is a squeaking sound in the pot, and the dried bean curd meets the rapeseed oil, bringing out the mellow aroma of soybeans.
The small stove room is suddenly filled with an attractive fragrance.
Sun's side was scooping the tofu brain and preparing to press the tofu, and Yang Huazhong poked his neck to look at the small pot.
After the dried tofu was fried on low heat until it was golden brown on both sides, Yang Ruoqing divided them into two batches and poured them into the two wooden basins with brine.
"This pot with dried chili shreds is made of spicy and fragrant dried tofu."
"This pot with caramel is made of honey dried tofu."
She pointed to the two wooden basins and said to them.
The seasoning at home is limited, and when I go to town tomorrow, I have to go to the grocery store to buy a batch of spices.
By the way, I would like to ask if there are any condiments similar to MSG or chicken essence that enhance the flavor of vegetables and soups.
By the time the pot of soy milk in the cauldron inside was also made into tofu, outside the Sichuan, the rooster had already begun to play the first chirp.
"It's almost the third watch, Qing'er, this tofu girl will cut it, you and Da'an hurry back to the house to sleep." Sun urged.
Yang Ruoqing had yawned several times, and Da'an's eyelids were also heavy.
Yang Ruoqing washed her hands and said to Yang Huazhong: "Dad, I'll push you back to the house." ”
Yang Huazhong said: "You go to sleep first, I'll wait for your mother." ”
Yang Ruoqing could see that her father was worried that her mother would be afraid alone, so she accompanied her.
Hehe, honest dad, but also has a delicate heart.
"Well, then let's go back to the house first, Da'an, let's go!"
……
The dried tofu is soaked in brine for a day and a night, and after frying, the surface layer is penetrated by the marinade, giving it a faint golden color.
Tear open a small piece to reveal the white flesh inside.
Delicate to clean, yet flexible.
At night, she boiled sweet potato porridge as usual, and Yang Ruoqing took four pieces of spicy dried tofu.
Cut into small cubes and stir-fry the porridge with chopped green onions.
Xiao An, who usually only eats a small bowl of sweet potato porridge at night, ate two large bowls tonight.
If it weren't for the bottom of the bowl of dried tofu, the little guy would have to add another bowl of porridge.
Sun watched Xiao An eat so happily, and there was a smile between his eyebrows.
"Qing'er, this dried tofu is really a good thing, there is it on the table, and the food is not enough to eat!" Sun quipped.
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
This shows that the dried tofu he made has been recognized by his family.
She is more confident that she will send it to Chef Zhou tomorrow to taste.
As soon as the dishes and chopsticks were removed from the table, Yang Huazhou came.
"Fifth brother, why do you have to come here this night? What's the matter? Yang Huazhong asked.
Yang Huazhou said: "Third brother, I have been working in bed for the past two days, and the interface of the bed stall is always not good. ”
"I remember that the bed where the fourth brother got married, you beat the third brother, so I came to ask you for advice!"
Yang Huazhong smiled heartily: "Come and sit down." ”
Over there, Yang Ruoqing made a bowl of tea and put it on Yang Huazhou's side.
She couldn't understand these carpentry tasks, so she came to the next room to help Sun clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
After the two of them finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the next room, Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou had already finished discussing.
Yang Huazhou was drinking tea there, and Yang Huazhong was there to ask about the sixteen Bao family girls who had come to the door.
"Have you found matchmakers on both sides?" Yang Huazhong asked.
Yang Huazhou nodded: "We are the matchmaker of Zhou, the matchmaker of the Bao family, I heard that it is an aunt of Su Yun's sister-in-law's mother's family." ”
Yang Huazhong nodded: "That's good." ”
Seeing Sun and Yang Ruoqing returning to the house, Yang Huazhong said to Sun: "Qing'er Niang, what about the thing you prepared?" Give it to him early while the fifth child is coming! ”
Sun answered with a smile while taking off his apron: "Eh, I'll get it now!" ”
Soon, Sun pulled out a string of money from under the pillow in the bed.
"Old Five, this is a little bit of your third brother and me, the money is not much, just two hundred yuan, you take it to buy some things in the house!"
Sun stuffed the money to Yang Huazhou.
Yang Huazhou hurriedly stood up from the stool and moved out of the way.
"This is absolutely unacceptable!"
He shook his head and waved his hand, "Third brother and third sister-in-law, you have just been divided, and the land has not been completed, how can I ask for your money!" ”
"Silly boy, you are the third brother and three sisters-in-law who grew up, you get married, and the third brother and three sisters-in-law are happy in their hearts." Sun said.
"You have to take the money!"
Sun stuffed the money into Yang Huazhou's hands again.
Yang Huazhou doesn't want to live or die.
Yang Ruoqing's sister and brother smiled on the side and watched the adults retreat, thinking it was quite funny.
Yang Huazhong on the bed said loudly: "Fifth brother, you accept it, if it weren't for the third brother's legs, I would definitely beat you on your marriage bed!" ”
Yang Huazhou couldn't help it, so he had to accept the money.
Weighing the two hundred dollars in his hand, the young man's face was full of emotion.
"Third brother...... Third sister-in-law......"
He called.
The room was lit with dim soybean oil lamps, and the sincere smiles of my brother and sister-in-law were rippling in front of my eyes.
The three nephews and nieces are more well-behaved than the other.
It's obviously this low, dilapidated house, and the windows are leaking.
However, the young man felt that in this house, even if it was the middle of winter outside, it was warm spring in this house!
"Third brother, it's getting cold day by step, and the three children should also add some winter clothes. You gave me the money......"
"Hehe, it's okay, they have money to buy winter clothes!" Sun said with a smile.
"It's you, you're about to get married, and the extra money on hand can come in handy, so you don't have to worry about us!" Sun said again.
Yang Ruoqing also echoed on the side: "Fifth uncle, you, just concentrate on being your groom's official!" ”
Yang Huazhou's face suddenly turned red......
……
Juweixuan.
It's still the little room that entertains guests.
Yang Ruoqing sat there and looked at Chef Zhou opposite without blinking.
With chopsticks in his hand, Chef Zhou picked up the spicy dried tofu from the two small bowls in front of him and took a bite gently.
He chewed in his mouth and didn't speak.
Then, he picked up the honey-glazed dried tofu from another bowl and tasted it as well.
Still didn't speak.
Looking at Chef Zhou's professional appearance, Yang Ruoqing, who was originally full of confidence, was a little nervous.
