The smile on Song Yao's face made the two little maids scratch their heads, but they didn't dare to disobey their master's orders, so they had to carry the tofu in.

Helian Sheng had been following behind Song Yao, and he was originally a little disgusted with the rancid smell of tofu, but after hearing Song Yao's words, he was full of interest.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing here? Researching new foods? Helian Sheng was very curious.

"Yes, let's experiment today, if it succeeds, we will do a big job in a few days, and it will be a lot of wealth!" Song Yao laughed out loud thinking about it, and had already seen Yinzi beckoning to her.

Not to mention how much the restaurant can consume, it is sold in the grocery store, which is also quite a considerable income.

The most important thing is that I have to be in for a treat, this snack has not been eaten in a few years.

Thinking of the taste of stinky tofu, Song Yao couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

There is also tofu milk, which can not only be eaten with porridge, but also used as a seasoning, especially when eating hot pot and the like, with the addition of tofu, the taste will definitely rise to a higher level.

"You two, call a few more people over, and have people prepare some clean white cloths, all cut into such long squares." Song Yao instructed: "There are also two clean jars, and some rice stalks are also prepared." ”

When the two girls heard Song Yao's words, they hurriedly went out to find someone.

Every time Song Yao wants to cook a big meal or conduct an experiment, she needs a lot of people to help.

Seeing that Song Yao rolled up his sleeves and wanted to work, Helian Sheng stepped forward and said, "What Yaoyao wants to do, I'll come." The smell was too bad, and Yaoyao was directing on the side. ”

Song Yao did not refuse Heliansheng's kindness, took out the handkerchief around his waist, covered Heliansheng's mouth and nose, and said with a smile: "This will be better." ”

"It's still Yaoyao smart." Helian Sheng smiled back.

There is the smell of Song Yao on the handkerchief, which is indeed much better than the sour tofu.

Song Yao really took a step back and commanded: "Cut all these tofus, cut half into the thickness of the tail finger, an inch long square." Half cut into two finger widths, and one inch long. ”

Helian Sheng's swordsmanship is good, and it is very easy to cut tofu, but it is a bit overkill.

However, Song Yao had to admit that this person was good-looking, and he was handsome in everything he did.

Helian Sheng was wielding a kitchen knife in the kitchen, and he was also very charming, as if he was doing something elegant.

It was just half a cup of tea, and Helian Sheng embedded the kitchen knife on the board, and a plate of tofu was cut by him, but if he didn't look carefully, he thought he didn't do it at all.

"Awesome!" After Song Yao applauded, he gave He Liansheng a thumbs up.

With such a knife technique, Song Yao is ashamed of herself, even if she practices for a lifetime, she will probably not be able to achieve it.

There's no way, who makes people know kung fu, swords are superb, and chopping vegetables is just a job to move your wrists.

"Madame, the cloth you wanted." The round-faced girl came back first.

"Madame, the straw you wanted." The long-faced girl arrived.

"Madame, the jar you wanted." An old woman went into the kitchen with a jar in one hand.

There were also a few empty-handed people behind, all of whom were cooks and fire girls in the kitchen.

The master came to the kitchen in person, and they had to come over to help as soon as possible, and by the way, they could also learn some skills, otherwise they wouldn't be able to work long in the Song Mansion.

Of course, no one has the intention of leaving after stealing the teacher, and they have known since the day they were bought that once they betray, there is only a dead end.

"I'll give you a demonstration first, and you can take a look."

Song Yao picked up a piece of washed white cloth, took a piece of tofu and placed it diagonally in the middle, and after wrapping it neatly, it was placed on the panel.

Looking up and glancing at a few people who were looking at it seriously, Song Yao said, "Can you see it all clearly?" Wrap the tofu slices, stack them neatly, and then press them on a panel with stones or a basin filled with water, and come back to me tomorrow this time for the next step. ”

"Yes, ma'am." The people responded one after another, washed their hands and began to work.

"You wash all the straw, dry it, and put it in a wooden box." It was a command to the long-faced girl.

"Slave and maid, go now." The long-faced girl immediately went to work.

"You come and steam these tofu cubes on high heat for half a column of incense, and when they are not hot to hold, put them in a box covered with dry straw, put them outside in a sunny place to dry, and come back to me in three or five days." Song Yao arranged this job to the old mother who took the jar, but it was not difficult to do.

Because there is not much tofu and there is no preparation in advance, Song Yao chooses to make home-cooked tofu and stinky tofu.

In fact, there are many ways to make tofu and stinky tofu, but Song Yao is not all at all, after all, it was easy to buy these things in that era, unless it was some special private restaurants, or some of their own stall business, not many people would be so troublesome.

Time is money, and many people are in a race against time, which makes handmade things more expensive.

"Yaoyao, according to your method, aren't these things going to break?" The corners of Helian Sheng's mouth twitched.

Although she knew that Song Yao's cooking was delicious, she also knew that she would not joke about food.

But at the thought of eating moldy things, Helian Sheng felt that he had no appetite, and his cold hairs were about to stand up.

"If you feel dirty, don't get involved when you do it later." Glancing at Helian Sheng, Song Yao smiled evilly: "Actually, your favorite shrimp pastes are also made like this, if you don't ferment, it won't taste, but if you ferment, it will grow hair, so will you eat it in the future?" ”

"Yaoyao, do you dislike me for not giving me money for dinner recently?" Helian Sheng's face changed slightly.

If you don't know it, it's delicious, but after you see it, you will have a psychological shadow when you eat it again.

At least until the actual tasting, Helian Sheng didn't dare to imagine whether he could eat it.

"Phew!" Song Yao waved his hand, "Gongzi Lian is a nobleman, he can't eat my vulgar food, don't serve it tonight if he doesn't like it, he should clear his stomach." ”

"Yaoyao made it, even if it is poison, I will eat it with a smile." Helian Sheng hurriedly took two steps, took Song Yao's hand, and said flatteringly: "It's just that I still need some time to consume, can Yaoyao be merciful, and stop telling me how these things are made?" ”

Song Yao was not a vexatious person, and seeing that Helian Sheng was really a little disgusted, he couldn't bear to say anything more, so he nodded reluctantly.

However, Song Yao didn't lie, such as tempeh and soy sauce, but they have to be fermented before they can be made.

And there will be mold when fermented, and it will naturally grow hair.

followed Song Yao to the kitchen once, Helian Sheng endured the sour water in his stomach, and tried his best to divert the topic, so that he would not continue to think about the fermentation of food, otherwise he would not want to eat these days.

In fact, it's no wonder that Helian Sheng, after he was born, he was clothed and fed, even if he studied art from a teacher, and later went to join the army, because of his identity, he didn't need to eat those bad foods.

Before meeting Song Yao, Helian Sheng didn't even know what the kitchen looked like.

Song Yao got a new food, which made everyone in the family happy, and they were all looking forward to it.

The two-sided dressing mirrors sent to the Governor's Palace, but the effect was seen in a day's work, and many people came to the door to beg to buy them.

In addition to Song Yao's price tag, it is necessary to give gifts to have the opportunity to buy it, which has become a fashion in Yunzhou City for a while, and the wives of major families are vying to buy it.

It has even become an indispensable equipment in the dowry of those young ladies, so that the marriage can appear to be valued by the family, and the in-laws will have face.

However, Song Yao plays a limited number of cards, and no one will sell them, but they have to be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Because Song Yao controlled the number of dressing mirrors, more and more people booked, and the price was doubled.

Song Yao received the cashier, and there were already more than 100 orders, which was the reason why Song Yao refused to accept the reservation later.

Because the number of dressing mirrors is limited, makeup mirrors are selling well.

Although it is not comparable to the price of a dressing mirror, the mirror that is less than half a meter long has to be sold for more than five hundred taels, but it allows those second-rate families or favorite concubines and concubines to have the opportunity to use it.

As for the small mirror, Song Yao didn't sell it much, not because she couldn't sell it, but because she had already let people transport it to the capital.

While the mirror was selling well, Song Yao did not forget to make stinky tofu and tofu milk.

After pressing the tofu slices for a day, the moisture in them was almost squeezed dry, because Song Yao wanted to make fried stinky tofu, and it would be better to dry the water.

The tofu slices are placed in a box with straw, and the tofu slices are wrapped in a layer of straw, and when they grow about an inch of hair, they are ready to ferment.

Remove the white cloth, wash the stinky tofu and eat, and the fried taste is good.

The tofu is placed in a box covered with straw to ensure that you can see the wind, and finally covered with a layer of straw to seal the box, and if the weather is not hot enough, you can also cover the box with a layer of quilt.

The climate here in Yunzhou City is in the early twenties, and it will be about a week.

When the tofu comes out with fluffy, white or pink mold, and smells a faint aroma, the fermentation step is complete.

At this time, the tofu has a tough skin and a soft inside.

Wash the tofu cubes, mix them with chili powder, salt noodles, and thirteen spices, throw each piece of tofu into the seasoning and roll it around, and then put it in the jar.

The utensils should be poured with some liquor sterilization, and at the same time can also increase the fragrance, when the jar can be poured with some liquor, tea oil, if there is not, it can also be replaced with sesame oil, the gap in the jar can also be sprinkled with chili powder, and you can eat soft tofu after sealing for a month.

Of course, the tofu at this time is also edible, but the taste will be a little worse.

It's just that this homely practice makes Song Yuanbao and others feel extremely delicious, but Song Yao is still not satisfied.

"Cool kiss...... Then make up the tofu for a good time...... Oh, yes. Song Yuanbao ate with a bulging mouth, and when he saw that Helian Sheng had already brought the plate, he shouted with his eyes wide.

Because Song Yuanbao couldn't eat too spicy, he put less chili in his bowl.

But Song Yao gave Song Yuan Baosheng less stinky tofu, compared with the plate eaten by adults, not even half, where can I eat it.

"Young master, I'll give you this." Silver also likes to eat, but when he heard Song Yuanbao say that it was not enough to eat, he gave up his share.

Song Yao glared at Helian Sheng, such a big person has to be angry with a child.

"Smash, stinky tofu is fried, and if you eat too much, you will get on fire. There are a lot of them in the kitchen, if you like it, my mother will make it for you to eat. Stretching out his hand to wipe Song Yuanbao's oily mouth, Song Yao smiled: "I did it this time, my mother didn't send it to the restaurant, so I kept it at home to eat, right?" ”
