Generally, after twenty, some people begin to grind tofu, and other families also start to line up, and whoever is the turn to do it, they will do it, and they can't fully grasp it accurately on the twenty-fifth day.

After all, it's just an auspicious name, and the most important thing is to be able to eat delicious tofu during the New Year, and most of us don't stick to this day.

Lu Shi soaked the beans at this time, which means that Ming'er estimated that she would go to her house to make tofu, which can be regarded as very lucky.

It's just that......

"This bean ......" Shen Xiangmiao is a little strange, I remember that when I planted in the Mid-Autumn Festival, I only planted peanuts at home, but I didn't plant them next to it, and there was no grain in the family in previous years, where did this bean come from.

"Your third uncle and third aunt sent it, originally, your third uncle and third aunt said a whole tofu, even if his family sent some to Uncle Wen Tao's aunt's house, he couldn't eat it all by himself, and our family couldn't eat too much, so we said that it was enough for the two families to grind one tofu." Lu Shi added water to the beans and explained: "Originally, your third uncle said that it would be good for your third aunt to soak beans at home, but your third aunt said that since it is good luck to grind tofu, then our family will also take less beans to bubble, which can be regarded as our family grinding tofu, and we will be blessed, so I will take some beans back to soak, and when the soak is ready, Ming'er will go to grind tofu with your third aunt." ”

The process of grinding tofu may seem simple, but it is complex.

First, the soaked beans are ground into a slurry on a stone mill, and then the slurry is filtered through a slightly thin cotton cloth, and the bean juice is filtered into the pot, and the slag filtered out is the ordinary tofu dregs.

The soybean juice is thoroughly boiled in the country, and then poured into a large basin, and the fermented sour syrup water is taken to ignite (in some places gypsum), so that the snowflake-like object gradually forms and condenses, becoming a small clump like a brain flower, which is called tofu brain, and the remaining clear water is called "pulp". ”

These tofu brains and "pulp" are poured into a square mold made of the doorboard, lined with a layer of cotton cloth, and then tied up, heavy pressure is applied to squeeze out the "pulp", and the remaining tofu brains are formed because of the vigorous squeezing.

And this is also slurry tofu, some places are also called old tofu, strong and refreshing, whether it is just made and hot to stand up with chili sauce to eat, or cooking, frying, making soup is very good.

And such a complex process of making tofu, and a family has been doing it all the time, the owner of the tofu workshop is categorically too busy, the work of grinding and burning the fire, naturally handed over to the people who come to grind tofu, Lu said to grind tofu, that is, to help to burn the fire, and Zhang's to be a companion.

"I guess, when you come back tomorrow night, there will be hot tofu to eat, tomorrow will grind the beans in the morning, and in the middle of the night, your third uncle will not delay to pick you up, this year's rush is really good." Lu Shi smiled.

"Hmm." Shen Xiangmiao answered, pursed her lips and smiled.

Approaching the end of the year, every household began to prepare New Year's goods, the business of this restaurant is much colder than usual, and the full moon building is no exception, but compared with other small restaurants, the business is still much better, and there are many more guests who come to bring food home to eat than usual.

Looking at the full moon building, it is quite popular, and the full moon is naturally happy.

The business of the full moon building is good, and the shopkeeper Fang makes money, which is naturally indispensable to the reward for the guys at the end of the year, and Fang Huairen is generous on weekdays, and he will definitely not give less, so the business of the full moon building is getting better and better.

And Shen Ji's business has been doing very well these days.

Approaching the end of the year, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the second to seventh days of the new year are all when to entertain relatives, this cold dish marinade is indispensable on the table, so they all start to prepare these things early.

What pig's head meat, braised pork liver, braised tofu, braised lotus root slices, every time you come, you will buy a big bag, and because Shen Xiangmiao's spicy peanuts are fried, it is easier to store than this braised peanut rice, and it is a must-have thing on the wine table, and the spicy peanut rice also sells very well.

Although Shen Xiangmiao took into account the Chinese New Year and prepared more than half of the lo-mei food than usual, it was often sold out in the afternoon.

Business is good, people come and go, Shen Wentao is very busy, and he is even more happy to laugh.

Compared with the full moon building and Shen Ji's people coming and going, and the excitement is endless, the Deshun Building at this time is deserted like an ice cellar.

Originally, because he wanted to stir up the business of the Moon Full Building, Xiao Wande listened to the words of the guys below and sent someone to make trouble in the Moon Full Building, but the defendant went to Li Zheng, and because he copied the dishes of the Moon Full Building before, he was arrogant and insulting Li Zheng after the incident......

In the end, Xiao Wande not only lost Fang Huairen a sum of money, but was also ordered to close the door for rest, and he could not reopen his business until the New Year.

This Deshun Building is a restaurant, a place to open the door to do business, and this door is closed for a day is to lose a day's money, isn't this going to be fatal?

Especially when he saw that the business of the Moon Man Building was so good, Xiao Wande's eyes were red and he was dripping blood.

In the end, after turning around many times in Deshun Building, after biting half of the back molars, he took the best wild ginseng to ask for Lizheng, and finally raised the opening time of Deshun Building to the front, and reopened the door on the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

Originally, Xiao Wande thought that he could make some money a year ago, but he never thought that even if the door was opened, the business would still be very cold, and the people who came every day would be counted out.

"In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to live my life!" Xiao Wande was irritable for a while, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank the sorghum wine.

Originally, I wanted to make a lot of money a year ago, so I specially looked for this mellow and delicious sorghum wine to think about selling a lot, but it almost didn't sell anything, but I drank a lot of it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wande became more and more bored.

"Brother Xiao, if you can't live your life, will my life be better?" Liu Guanhou, who was sitting opposite him, also cried and lost his face: "Not to mention being tossed every day by those two wolf hearts and dogs, I was put in a sack a few days ago, and I can't find out which rabbit cub made it at this time, it's really unlucky!" ”

The injury on Liu Guanhou's face is not healed at this time, it is red and purple, and his face is flushed because of drinking, which makes him look more and more hideous and terrifying.

Hearing Liu Guanhou complaining here, Xiao Wande also pouted, and at the same time expressed deep sympathy for Liu Guanhou.

Although he Xiao Wande has been deflated one after another during this period of time, it is also the loss of his opponent, and he is also an outsider, but this Liu Guanhou is frequently troubled by his own sister and brother, which is indeed uncomfortable.

Thinking about his sister who treats him well, and his brother-in-law who claims to be able to rely on him, Xiao Wande feels that he is not bad, and his eyes are more and more pitiful when he looks at Liu Guanhou.
