There is a lot of wealth hidden in the little beans, and Liu Ci is not talking nonsense at all.

Take soybeans as an example, soy milk, tofu, dried tofu, tofu brain, and yuba, which are just basic soy products.

What's more, beans are not only soybeans, peas often eaten by people in the Magic Continent, with sufficient raw materials, are a very famous pastry in the imperial capital of the Earth Federation before the new era: pea yellow.

Broad beans are also known as "Hu Beans", and the famous "Douban Pepper" in Sichuan and Shu in China, in addition to chili noodles, the main auxiliary material is raw Hu Beans. The beans are fried, and they are dry goods with wine.

For Liu Ci, a gourmet, there are too many delicacies related to beans, and she talks about new business with Stuart, but she can't smash it out at once, at this stage, soybeans have been developed for a long time.

After lunch, Liu Ci pointed to the empty soy milk cup to Stull.

Stuart shook his head, "Boss, the soy milk is delicious and mellow, but the animal husbandry in the Emster area is developed, and the locals love to drink milk and goat's milk, although the cost of soybeans is cheap, it is not easy to beat the drinking habits of the locals." ”

Liu Ci smiled and said nothing, "Nana, let the people in the cafeteria boil two pots of soy milk, prepare some gypsum powder, and then pick a clean cotton cloth and a wooden board the size of a pot lid." ”

Nana took the order and left, Liu Ci and Stuart sat in the small hall, drank tea after dinner, and estimated the time before leading Stull to the small kitchen.

The fat cook lady directed several women to work, and the soy milk in the two pots was already boiling.

"It's okay, scoop out the soy milk and filter out the okara."

Liu Ci looked at the fire and commanded. Soybean milk is served all day long in Zhuangzi, and the people in the kitchen are used to filtering the bean dregs, so the two women took a clean muslin cloth and filtered the bean dregs, and the delicate milky white soybean milk without slag was poured into the two pots again.

"Mix the gypsum powder with cold water and pour it into the pot."

The cook took two bowls herself, according to Liu Ci's instructions, one more and one less, mixed two bowls of gypsum water, and slowly poured them into two pots filled with boiling soybean milk.

A long shovel is slowly stirred in the pot, and the calcium sulfate contained in the gypsum water makes the scattered protein particles quickly gather together. Liu Ci asked the stirring shovel to stop and suppress the fire in the stove.

Under the heat of the embers, the soy milk in the two pots solidified, and what Liu Ci wanted to do was completed.

Because the gypsum water is more or less different, the hardness of the coagulation of soy milk is also different, on one side is the "bean curd" she made in the crystal mine, and in the other pot is the more delicate tofu brain.

Two small bowls of tofu brain were filled, and Liu Ci personally seasoned it. One bowl of tofu brain is poured with honey syrup boiled from red dates, and the other bowl is a little red oil and spicy seeds, with salt and mustard grains, and a few chopped green onions.

The sweet tofu brain is poured with honey syrup, and the big red dates are resting on the white jade-like tofu brain, and the salty tofu has a layer of red oil in it, and the green onion is emerald green, with a salty and spicy fragrance.

No matter what kind of taste, it is full of color, flavor and flavor, and it hooks people's taste buds.

"This is called tofu brain, you can taste it!"

Stull drank the sweet tofu brain, and there was joy on his brow, but it was not obvious.

But when he ate the salty tofu brain with a heavy taste, his brows were furrowed, the expression on his face changed back and forth, and he was forced to sweat by the hot tofu brain and red oil and spicy seeds in the winter, and finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Spicy enough, delicious enough! Drink a bowl in the winter and warm up your whole body. ”

He suddenly thought of the shop at the entrance of the farmer's market, where people came and went, whether it was buying things and purchasing, or setting up stalls to sell goods, could it not be cold in the wind and snow? Walking to the door and drinking a bowl of salty and spicy tofu brain, the chill all over the body was dispelled, and the business that the boss said should be able to do if it were it.

Tofu brain can only eat hot food in winter, the price does not need to be very high, the farmers' market has a large flow of people, small profits and quick turnover, and the income must be a lot in a month. Many thoughts went through Stuhl's mind, and he personally preferred salty and spicy for this new food, but he estimated that the Amster people generally accepted sweetness.

"Hold up a few big umbrellas outside the shop and put some chairs, and business should be good."

If the business is really good, then it will have to be separated from the vegetable shop, Stull silently planned in his mind.

Liu Ci smiled: "I said I wouldn't care about business, but what soy milk can do is not just tofu brain." ”

She also told Stull about the difference between tofu brain and bean curd, and tried the way to eat it on the spot, Emster is less river, it is not easy to eat fish, but beef and mutton are very common.

Liu Ci asked the cook to cut a piece of beef, use a blade to make a thin slice, put egg whites and sweet potato starch, and made a "spicy boiled bean curd beef", the method is the same as the boiled bean curd torpedo, the greasy is sucked away by the bean curd, the beef is smooth and tender, slightly spicy, but it is very suitable for the cold Amster.

Stuart shook off his arms and flew with a fork and fork, "This can't be with the tofu brain, the food on the boss's village can open a high-end restaurant." ”

In Stuhl's opinion, isn't it a waste to sell big dishes and snacks together and open them in front of the farmers' market? Tofu brain pays attention to small profits but quick turnover, but some dishes have to raise the price to be worthy of its value, and put it at the door of the farmers' market, which lowers the grade a lot.

Liu Ci, who said in his vague words, was stunned for a moment, "It's that I thought wrong, so let's just sell tofu brains." ”

If you want to sell tofu, you have to teach the seller how to do it, Liu Ci feels that Stuart is right, it is better to open a restaurant and sell it for money if you have that effort, and when the dishes slowly spread, she will sell the "raw materials" without bothering at all.

"The taste of tofu brain is ever-changing, sweet tofu can be poured with various jams in addition to honey, and salted tofu can be put on top of the meat whistle in addition to shredded pickles, and a few slices of beef and the like......"

Stuart nodded as he listened, and when Liu Ci finished speaking, he also said his thoughts:

"Anyway, you have to prepare pots, utensils, chopsticks and seats, don't buy the bean curd and the tofu you said first, but the snacks you usually eat in the manor can be sold together."

The breakfast in the villa is very rich, soy milk, steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings, chaos, etc., Liu Ci sees that Stuart is planning to run a snack bar.

But the soy products she wants to make money, can she really only use a "tofu brain"?

"Vegetables...... I almost forgot that we could sprout bean sprouts. ”

Tofu brain is not a snack that sells at a high price, but bean sprouts are vegetables, and Liu Ci found that he had put the cart before the horse. Tell Stull to go back and find a few people to learn from the fat cook, but the young man is blown away by her before he can talk to her about his plans.

Liu Ci asked people to find wooden planks to press the water in the bean curd to make tofu, and further there were dried tofu and so on, and now after listening to Stull's words and preparing to put them aside for the time being, her interest turned to bean sprouts.

There is no technical content in the work of sprouting beans, avoiding light and wind, keeping room temperature and beans moist is the key, it is easy to say, but if you don't have "Qi Min Yao Shu New Edition" in hand, Liu Ci is also a person who can only eat and can't "hair".

Both soybeans and mung beans can produce sprouts, the former has thick sprouts, and the latter sprouts are slender, and the taste is not far behind. But the price of soybeans is cheap, soybean cake and black bread are the most common food for the poor, 1 silver coin can buy a hundred catties, otherwise how can anyone use it to feed the horses. In comparison, mung beans are more expensive and are often moved to the tables of the rich.

The glass greenhouses were covered, the flower seeds were sown, and two greenhouses were empty, just in time for bean sprouts.

Every few days, the lodge had to go back and forth to Amster City to transport flour and other necessities back, and the next day, a few truckloads of soybeans would be brought back. After soaking, a pound of soybeans can produce 7-9 pounds of bean sprouts after absorbing enough water, and they can be harvested in five days at a room temperature of 25-30 °. Liu Ci estimated the area of the two greenhouses, and first let people soak a thousand catties of beans.

Stuart was busy with snacks, he didn't have time to care about bean sprouts, the small yellow beans were soaked in water for a day, Liu Ci set up a shelf in the greenhouse, the villa lacked everything, that is, there was no shortage of containers, and the swollen soybeans were evenly sprinkled in the shallow pottery plate, and Liu Ci instructed the women to cover the soybeans with linen cloth one by one.

Thousands of catties of soybeans, if properly managed, it is no problem to harvest seven or eight thousand catties, Liu Ci feels that he is stupid, he has a kind of out-of-season vegetables, and he doesn't know how many batches of bean sprouts to send.

"There can be no wind in the greenhouse, water twice a day, and you can't let the soybeans see the light, you arrange people to be on duty at night, pay attention to adjusting the temperature in the shed."

Liu Ci instructed the key points of bean sprouts, such as watering soybeans twice a day but not soaking them in water, how to measure 25° in the era when there is no thermometer? When entering the greenhouse, only short clothes and shorts are worn, neither hot nor cold, and the skin will tell the women of the hired house what is amnesia and the 25° of the human body.

It's not difficult to make snacks, it just depends on whether your mind is dexterous enough, and whether you are serious enough when you learn.

The few women sent by Stull to study will be out of the school in a few days, and the various fillings are still poor, whether it is a bun or a dumpling, it looks quite good. Stull's shops at the entrance of the farmer's market are open and open, and the bean sprouts in Liu Ci's greenhouse are crystal clear and tender, with two small yellow leaflets on his head, and it is time to harvest.

Liu Ci looked at the handful of bean sprouts put into the rattan basket and was happy from the bottom of his heart.

The manor is developing in an orderly manner, and the income-generating projects are one after another, so she doesn't have to worry about financial pressure in a short time, and she can finally concentrate on cultivation.

I don't know what happened to Lydia and Arnold?

The horse-drawn cart drove out of the valley with baskets of bean sprouts and slowly along the snowy mountain road.

Liu Ci sat by the window, drank the hot tea made by Amy, calmed down and began to study the matter of the rune array.
