Chapter 125 Development of new products
According to what Kou Xi said, Huo Dagui really went to the city after finding a time. I bought a lot of soy products from the market in front of the station she said, including smoked dried tofu, tofu puffs, and braised dried tofu skin.
Li Cuilian was startled when she saw these things at first glance: "What are you buying these for?
That being said, I opened the bag and prepared to take a bite. Huo Dagui said, "Don't move, I'm useful!"
knows her husband Mo Ruo's wife, and has lived with Huo Dagui for more than 20 years. Huo Dagui thought in his heart, Li Cuilian could guess eight or nine without leaving ten. She glared at Huo Dagui: "You old man, what do you think in your heart? If you don't sell noodles, you have to sell tofu?"
"Kou Xi's ability is so great, it's useless to beg those buyers. Unless there is someone in our family who can speak well, and sell it to the supply and marketing cooperatives one by one!" Huo Dagui lowered his head and stared at Li Cuilian with his eyes: "Can you do it or Huo Lu can do it?" Except for Kou Xi, no one in our family can do this job!"
Li Cuilian said in a reasonable tone: "Then let her do it, isn't she the most capable!" There was a little disdain in the second half of the words, and more jealousy.
"What is she doing? she has taken over the power of the family, what can you do?" Huo Dagui showed a hint of mockery: "Besides, eggs can't be put in one basket!"
Li Cuilian was stupid: "Then put a few baskets?
"Hey, ignorance!" Huo Dagui stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Cuilian's face: "This is brainless and uneducated." Let me tell you, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, our daughter will have to go to school. Don't give me those crooked thoughts, why do you get out of school early to earn money, and find a 10,000 yuan household to ask for more dowry. If you want to pit it, you can pit your own daughter, don't pit my daughter!"
Li Cuilian looked dazed: "What do you mean? What do you mean? Why don't I understand! What are you going to do!"
Huo Dagui pointed to the soy products in the bag: "The noodles are also sold, and the money for this tofu has to be earned." ”
Li Cuilian rolled her eyes: "How much money can you make with tofu! You have been doing it all these years, and I haven't seen you make a fortune." It's better to earn more than somen noodles!"
"In the future, we have to rush to the market to sell tofu, I calculated it, let's catch the market for fifteen. Prosperity is the first day of the new year, and the 33rd is the eighteenth market. Let's just catch up three times a month, these three times are much more than what I earn in a month!" Huo Dagui thought it was good, but he forgot one thing, that is, what kind of transportation to use.
"Rely on your broken donkey cart, how old are our donkeys, can they still do it?" Li Cuilian felt that this matter was not appropriate.
"Let's take a look at it first, and then I will find out in two months. I'll talk about it later, isn't life like this!" The road is all out of the way.
Kou Xi got off work, Huo Dagui couldn't wait to beckon her into the house: "Don't be busy cooking, just let your brother and daughter-in-law do it." Come over and have a taste and give some advice!"
"This bean bubble was fried in oil, but it was passed through but it couldn't be eaten raw, it didn't see through. When you sell it, you tell people, and you will know if you blow it up in your own house when you go back. Kou Xi pointed to the tofu bubble, and then took the smoked dried tofu next to him: "This should be boiled in brine, and then roasted or dried with something." If it's soft, it's eaten as a cold dish, and if it's hard, it's also a dish like slicing and stir-frying celery. And then this smoked dried tofu is more flavorful than the dried tofu we usually eat, and you can mix it with cold vegetables and roll any green onions!"
Kou Xi didn't taste them one by one, and directly evaluated these soy products one by one. Huo Lu, who watched it, couldn't help but admire: "Oh, sister-in-law, you are so amazing, how do you know everything? What kind of life did you live in your mother's house before? Eat and drink spicy food with my Uncle Kou every day!"
Kou Xixin said, if you live another twenty years, you can do the same.
"Can this be made with soybean curd?" Huo Dagui pinched the dried smoked tofu with some doubts.
"It definitely can't be compared to our current tofu. The water content of the tofu we sell is still too high, if you make smoked tofu or fried tofu puffs, the proportion of water content should be a little less. Kou Xi has fried tofu bubbles by herself before, and her own experience is that the newly bought water tofu has to be empty for a night. Empty the water in the original tofu and fry it in a pan to make it more delicious.
"Okay, I'll keep this for now. Tomorrow morning Horu you go out to sell tofu. I'll leave a board and study this at home!" Huo Dagui patted his thigh: "It's quite easy for me to look at this thing, there should be no problem for us to do it." ”
Huo Dagui is an old man, and Hongqi Town is the only one that sells tofu, and his reputation is not bad. He is a capable man and is good at studying. In the evening, Kou Xi came home from work and found that the tofu puffs made by Huo Dagui were comparable to the taste of the ones he bought in the city before.
The dried tofu is a little worse, mainly because of the problem of the old brine soup. This is not what Gao Liman and Li Cuilian are good at. can only rely on whether Kou Xi can develop a good lo-mei.
"Why are you waiting for her to come back?" Gao Liman puffed up: "We can almost come out ourselves, I think the one my dad bought is just a little darker!"
"Isn't the pig's trotters made by Kou Xi during the New Year delicious?" Li Cuilian glanced at her: "Which of her pig's trotters and chicken feet is not your crazy robbery." This girl, tsk, is really good at cooking. Let's not bother with that, your dad said that he would use the old soup she made for the New Year to marinate the pig's trotters!"
There are new projects to be developed at home, and Kou Xi himself feels excited. took out his housekeeping skills of braised pork for many years, and boiled pork bones and chicken bones from seven o'clock in the evening to twelve o'clock. There is also boiled backbone meat in a thick old soup. Huo Tianyi woke up from his dream, and before he had time to put on his pants, he ran to the kitchen and stretched out his hand to ask for meat.
Kou Xi fished out a bowl of meat for him and told him to go back to the house and eat it himself. cut the tofu made by Huo Dagui into pieces and soaked them in the pot, and he went back to his room to wash and sleep.
When he got up the next morning, Kou Xi cooked the soaked dried bean curd and took it out to dry. After a night of soaking, the flavor has been immersed in the tofu cubes. Then put it on the hot kang and smoke it, and after it is completely dry, there is a smell of meat.
Kou Xi stir-fried a plate of dried tofu, smoked shredded tofu and mixed a cold dish, and finally simply fried a tofu bubble with dried chili soy sauce.
The table was full of soy products, and Huo Dagui, who was eating, nodded again and again: "I think this is good, I can sell it at a good price when I go to the market tomorrow!"
Gao Liman doesn't like that all kinds of limelight in the family are robbed of by concubines. He pouted and wanted to contradict him: "Can this business make money? It's a big bone broth and lo-mei, and it has to be fried in a big pot with oil, who can afford to eat this thing." Mom, you might as well eat ribs if you have this money!"
