Chapter Eighty-Nine: Dried Tofu
After finishing the morning's work, at noon, the family of four went up the mountain again, still carrying a basket one by one, and doing whatever they saw.
I went home early today, because there were more mountain grapes, Yunzhu thought about selling wine for money, but this mountain grape is harvested once a year, and the quantity is also limited.
The family of four was the same as yesterday, each with its own division of labor, and today Ning Lin and Ning Yi's work was easy, so after the two of them got it done, they came over to help Yunzhu pick and clean, but it also saved Yunzhu a lot of things.
After all the work was done and the sky was not completely dark, the family had eaten, packed some yuan dates and hazelnuts, and went to the Yun family together.
Seeing the Yun Zhu family coming, Old Man Yun and the Fang family were very happy.
Putting the things down, Ning Yi and Yun sat on the kang, while Ning Lin and Yun Zhu sat on the small stool on the ground, and the family talked affectionately, but it was also very warm.
After sitting for about half an hour, the family left, and when they came out of the main house, they happened to see Zhang coming out of the house, and the family looked towards Zhang together, but saw Zhang smiling at them, and then continued to do what they should do.
Walking out of the courtyard of the Yun family, the Yun family still sighed with some emotion, "The second sister-in-law has really changed. ”
Not only the Yun family, but also Yun Zhu, "Mother, the second aunt would smile at us, this is really amazing." ”
"Not really." Yun nodded, she had never given the two of them a good look when she saw Zhang in the past, this seemed to be the first time she saw Zhang smiling at them from the bottom of her heart after the two returned to the village.
When they got home, they rested and didn't mention it for the time being.
The sky is getting colder and colder, Yunzhu began to think about ways to make money again, as early as before, tofu was made in other villages, at that time, in order to deal with this, Yunzhu also deliberately made other tricks, this day, Yunzhu had nothing to do, and suddenly remembered that he could make dry tofu.
Telling her family about her thoughts, Yunzhu saw confused faces, obviously, they didn't know what dried tofu was.
"You'll know when you make it." Yun Zhu smiled mysteriously, got up and went to the storage room, weighed out five catties of beans, and then soaked them in water.
At this time, Yunzhu was very grateful that she was born in a farming family in her previous life, otherwise she would not know so many ways to make money.
Early the next morning, Yunzhu got up early, the beans were already soaked, Yunzhu put the donkey in place, and made dry tofu, which must be ground into soybean milk.
"Zhu'er, are you up so early?" Hearing the sound in the yard, Ning Lin came out of the house and helped Yunzhu work together.
Two people do it together, naturally it is a lot faster, soon, five catties of beans have become soybean milk, Yunzhu will light the cauldron in the stove room, and then put the ground raw soybean milk in the pot to boil, in the process of boiling the soy milk, constantly add raw soybean milk, and constantly stir, so as to avoid pasting the pot.
By the time Ning Yi and the Yun family got up, the courtyard was already full of the smell of soy milk, and the two glanced at each other and came to the stove room.
"Dad, mother, you just woke up, come and help me." Greeting the two, Yunzhu found a clean coarse sand white cloth, which was used to wrap the soy milk, so that it could be filtered and separated from the soybean dregs.
Hearing Yunzhu say this, the two washed their hands, rolled up their sleeves and entered the stove room.
Let Yun and Ning Yi pull the two sides of the white cloth, Yun Zhu scooped it with a scoop and poured the soy milk into the white cloth, while Yun and Ning Yi shook the white cloth, in order to let the pure soy milk leak out of the tofu bun and completely separate it from the bean dregs.
There is a large basin under the white cloth, and the soybean milk separated from the okara can flow into the basin through the white cloth, and it is only five catties of beans, so soon, the soy milk and the okara will be separated.
This okara is a good thing, you can feed it to the livestock at home, the livestock love to eat, not to mention, but also easy to fat.
Brought the big basin to his room, and then slowly poured the brine into the filtered soybean milk, Yunzhu held the spoon and kept stirring, stirring for a while, then put a small amount of brine, put a little and stir for a while, put a little and stir for a while.
Yun Zhu knew that this step required patience, so she simply sat on the stool and waited until the small lump in the basin before stopping.
After covering the lid, Yun Zhu went back to the house, and Yun had already prepared breakfast, so he was waiting for her to eat together.
After breakfast, Yunzhu returned to his house, at this time a thin layer of skin had appeared on the surface of the soybean milk in the pot, Yunzhu knew that this most basic step had been done, under this bean skin, was tofu brain.
If she hadn't already eaten breakfast, Yunzhu would have to have another bowl of tofu brain, which was her favorite, whether in her previous life or in this life.
Scooping out the tofu brain and mashing it also requires patience in this step, because it is necessary to make the tofu brain crushed very evenly.
Yunzhu took a spoon and spread the mashed tofu brain on the tofu bun, because it was a dry tofu, so it had to be thin and even.
Yunzhu had made tofu before, so there was a mold at home, spread a layer of gauze, and then put a layer of mashed tofu brains, and just like that, layer by layer, until all the tofu brains were spread in the gauze, Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
After paving, Yunzhu brought the template on the template, which was to be pressed on the top of the mold, because it needed to be squeezed to get the moisture inside, and there were drainage holes under the mold, so there was no need to worry about the water not flowing out.
To be this guy, Yun Zhu herself definitely can't do it, she called Ning Yi and Ning Lin over, and pressed the template on the last layer of gauze, Yun Zhu let the two of them press it hard to ensure that all the water can flow out.
Finally, it was suppressed, and the template above was taken aside, Yunzhu lifted a layer of gauze, and the dried tofu had been made, and the fragrance that came to his nose made Yunzhu's face smile.
"Pearl, what's that...... Dried tofu? Looking at the thin sheets of dried tofu, the faces of the Ning family's father and son were full of surprise, Ning Yi came to the door, shouted at the house, and called the Yun family over.
Looking at the three people gathered in front of the dried tofu, the smile on Yun Zhu's face deepened, and she spread a curtain on the kang to separate the dried tofu from the gauze layer by layer.
Although they had all eaten breakfast, in the end Yunzhu made something new, so everyone always wanted to taste it.
Yunzhu asked everyone to wait in the house, went to the stove room by himself, lit a fire, fried some egg sauce and brought it out, and then found the stored green onions, cut them into sections, put them on a plate, and brought them to the house.
Picking up a section of green onions, he took out another piece of dried tofu, Yun Zhu put the green onion on top of the stacked dried tofu, then smeared it with egg sauce, rolled it up, and handed it to Ning Yi, "Dad, you taste it." ”
Ning Yi felt very curious about Yunzhu's rolling, he took the rolled dried tofu and took a bite, "Well, it's so fragrant!" ”
While speaking, Ning Yi couldn't help but take a few more bites, seeing him like this, Yun and Ning Lin also learned from Yun Zhu's appearance just now, and each rolled dried tofu and ate it.
Seeing that everyone was happy to eat, Yunzhu herself also wanted to taste it, speaking of which, plus in her previous life, she hadn't eaten dried tofu for many years.
Yun and Yun Zhu had a small amount of food, plus they had both eaten, so one person only ate one and stopped, Ning Yi and Ning Lin were men after all, and they ate more than Yun Zhu and Yun Clan, so the two of them each ate two sheets, and they really couldn't eat anymore, so they stopped.
"Do you think this dried tofu can be sold well? After everyone finished eating, Yunzhu asked with a smile, and everyone naturally nodded again and again, praising the dried tofu for being delicious.
Seeing everyone nodding, the smile on Yunzhu's face deepened, "Since you all said yes, then let's not make tofu tomorrow, just make dried tofu, just start to do it, don't make too much, make less, and then roll some dried tofu out and let the villagers taste it, presumably so, it will be easy to sell." “
Hearing Yun Zhu say this, everyone nodded again and again, after all, something new was made, Yun Zhu kept some of his own food, and the rest was sent to the Yun family.
I simply ate something at noon, and in the evening, Yun Chu set aside a part of it to roll and eat, and the rest fried a dried tofu shred, and mixed a dried tofu shredded, and the family ate the new things made by Yunzhu, and they were all very happy.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Yunzhu's family got up early, and the family of four cooperated to make dried tofu.
For breakfast, I ate tofu brain and dried tofu, and after breakfast, Yunzhu and Ning Yi were eaten. Ning Lin went out together and left the Yun family at home.
Xu is because of the relationship between the previous tofu, today's dried tofu sells exceptionally well, some don't even need to taste it, so they buy some directly, of course, Yunzhu also said the method of eating dried tofu, so that the villagers don't know how to eat it after buying it.
A total of thirty catties of beans were soaked, and before noon, all the dried tofu made of thirty catties of beans was sold out, and the three of them went home happily, and carefully calculated the money, and they made more money than selling tofu, after all, dried tofu can't be counted by blocks like tofu.
With a good start, Yunzhu increased the number of catties of beans, today he just sold his village, and tomorrow he should go around the surroundings, this dried tofu is different from tofu, and maybe he can also send some of it to Qiu Niang.
Yun Zhu told her family about her ideas, and naturally she got absolute support, and basically she said some of Yun Zhu's ideas, and the family agreed.
Dried tofu was sold to other villages, and the sales were far better than when she bought tofu, on this day, Yunzhu was going to the town, and she specially prepared some dried tofu, planning to give it to Qiu Niang and Jiao Niang to taste.
