After arriving home, Xiao Qiongzhi immediately asked Zheng Bang to bring the soybeans into the kitchen, and called Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu to help boil warm water and soak the soybeans.

Soon, Zhou Dayong came back with rice and eggs.

Xiao Qiongzhi asked Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu to break all the eggs and pour the egg pulp into the wooden barrel.

A bucket and a half of egg slurry were knocked out.

During this period, Xiao Qiongzhi asked Zheng Bang to help, cut a fresh bamboo, cut two of them, left one foot long for each section, and split them into shabu-shabu, and gave them to Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu to stir the egg mixture.

After about half an hour, the egg mixture is almost stirred, and the soybeans are soaked.

Xiao Qiongzhi also asked Zheng Bang and Zhou Dayong to help grind soybeans.

However, there is only one stone mill at home, in order to speed up the speed and efficiency, Zhou Dayong took the initiative to carry half of the soaked soybeans and went to the patriarch's house to grind.

Another half an hour passed, and all the soybeans were ground, and there were four barrels of soybean milk.

And Chu Yunniang has already made lunch in this process.

Everyone ate in a hurry and continued to be busy.

The next process is to use gauze to filter out the soybean dregs, a little egg skin in the egg pulp, and broken eggshells, which are completed by Chu Yunniang and Zheng Bang.

Xiao Qiongzhi took the opportunity to take Liu Wuxiu to the main house and instructed her to cut the ten-meter fine pulp cloth she bought back into pieces of cloth that could wrap the square wooden box and completely wrap it according to the size of the square wooden box containing tofu, and then put them into the inside of each square wooden box containing tofu, flatten it out, and tear out the extra parts from the box and hang it on the outside of the four sides of the wooden box.

At the same time, the children from Zhoujia Village, Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village all arrived at the courtyard on time, and Zhou Dayong gave them lessons.

After Chu Yunniang and Zheng Bang filtered the mixed slurry of soybeans and egg milk, she asked Chu Yunniang to add an appropriate amount of salt to the filtered mixture, and then pour it into the arranged square wooden box, cover the lid, steam it through water, put it in a bucket, soak it for half an hour to cool.

At the beginning of the day, all the sun tofu was cooled.

Liu Bang was about to go to the main house to teach the children, and Xiao Qiongzhi asked Zhou Dayong, who had already finished class, to help move the sun tofu to a cool and ventilated place under the tunnel.

In this kind of place, there is no sunlight, and the temperature is about 0 degrees, which is suitable for freezing sun tofu.

When Shen Shizheng was approaching, Xiao Qiongzhi asked Zhou Dayong to put all the square boxes into the burden, carry them to the county seat, and trade with the shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen.

At the end of Shen Shi, Zheng Bang left class.

Xiao Qiongzhi was not worried that Zhou Dayong was so late, so he went to the county seat alone, asked Zheng Bang to go to the patriarch's house to borrow an ox cart, and also rushed to the county seat.

Only about half an hour later, they chased after Zhou Dayong.

Zhou Dayong was putting down his burden and stopping on the side of the road to rest.

In fact, this time to send sun tofu, Xiao Qiongzhi originally planned to let Zheng Bang be responsible.

It was Zhou Dayong who repeatedly recommended himself, and confidently boasted about his strength, and Xiao Qiongzhi reluctantly agreed.

But Zhou Dayong is only a fourteen-year-old boy after all, he worked hard to grind soy milk yesterday, and early this morning, he picked nearly 200 catties of mountain chestnut tofu into the county seat.

Later, he picked rice and eggs from the township and went home to help grind soybeans, but the amount of labor and labor intensity were too great, and he was still a little unbearable.

Xiao Qiongzhi turned his head sideways and said to Zheng Bang: "Uncle, please replace my second uncle and pick sun tofu."

"Okay." Zheng Bang immediately complied.

Zhou Dayong was really tired, and when Zheng Bang replaced him, he did not shirk, and obediently replaced Zheng Bang to drive the ox cart.

On the road, Zheng Bang is different from Zhou Dayong, his kung fu is good, although he is carrying a load of tofu on his shoulder, he not only walks as fast as flying, but also carries the burden on his shoulders very steadily, and does not sway at all.

In this way, the speed of rushing to the county seat is much faster.

It was almost unitary and arrived at the east gate of the county.

At this time, it should have been dark, but it was not dark.

The sky was dull yellow, and the evening wind was blowing on the face, much stronger than usual, and it was cold, much like it was going to snow at night.

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen had already waited at the gate with a man.

He took a closer look at the sun tofu in the square box, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this sun tofu is apricot yellow, no wonder foreigners have such a name."

"Yes. Uncle shopkeeper, you taste it first. Xiao Qiongzhi said, and asked Zhou Dayong to cut off a small piece of sun tofu with a dagger and hand it to the shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen.

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen put it in his mouth, smacked it a few times, and praised it sincerely: "This sun tofu is not only tender, smooth, and fragrant, but also has a little egg fragrance, which is very delicious!"

"Definitely, scarcity is expensive. After all, this is made with the secret recipe of the foreigner's palace given by the foreigner's envoy, and the foreigner's court is afraid that it will not be sold. Xiao Qiongzhi said.

The shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen was inspired, and he had an idea, and asked cautiously: "Little girl, do you have a lot of secret recipes for the foreign court, can you sell some to me, or will you only sell me the delicious food that you can't see in our Chu country with the secret recipes of the foreign court in the future?"

Xiao Qiongzhi pondered for a while and said, "I only have the secret recipe for making fairy tofu and sun tofu, but my relatives said that these two secret recipes are not passed on, so I can't sell the secret recipe."

"However, my relatives are in high positions and are very good at eating. In the future, if he gets a new secret recipe for foreigner's court food and is willing to teach me, I will definitely consider discussing with you and only sell you the newly made delicious food. ”

"Okay." The shopkeeper nodded happily.

The settlement of the silver was smooth.

It's just that the shopkeeper of Yue Kezhen does not have a box that can hold sun tofu and can be made into a burden and carried away.

And now, it is settled at the gate of the city, and it is nearly a mile away from Yue Kezhen.

He could only implore Xiao Qiongzhi, Zheng Bang, and Zhou Dayong to wait at the city gate first, until the men he brought picked up the burden of sun tofu, went to Yue Kezhen, unloaded the sun tofu in the square box, returned to the city gate, and returned the burden.

After a while, from the city, there was a person from afar, who was unexpected by Xiao Qiongzhi: Bai Lingling.

But she didn't come out alone, and there was a young man who followed her closely, and looked a little familiar.

Xiao Qiongzhi was wondering in his heart, what was going on, Zheng Bang suddenly lowered his voice and told her: "The man who followed Bai Lingling was one of the guards of Dream Return."

According to this, it was Menghui who also learned about Bai Lingling's arrest and let her out?

However, it seems that the dream is still not a person who does not know right and wrong, Bai Lingling colluded with Zhu Yu to harm others, he should be able to figure it out from Xu Nian, why do you want to let her out?

Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
