Chapter 29 Making Tofu

At noon, Ji Nuan took out two still hot vegetable buns and handed them to the twin brothers: "I ate at the second grandmother's house, give these two to the two of you, but unfortunately there are only two, otherwise let everyone taste them." ”

Of course, a few older brothers will not covet the two vegetable buns, seeing the twins eating the vegetable buns, Ji Nuan is happier than eating them in his mouth, Gu Shuzhen came out of the kitchen, most of the brothers' vegetable buns have been wiped out, and Ji Lian praised the fragrant buns while eating, full of meat.

"It's ...... The vegetable buns that your second grandmother gave you in the morning? Gu Shuzhen looked at the steamed mixed noodles and the vegetable buns in her son's hand were indeed not the same color, Ji Nuan was afraid that her mother would say that she would reveal it, so she took chopsticks and handed her the nest head, and shook her head frequently.

Gu Shuzhen and Ji Ruinian, the two eldest sons instantly understood what was going on, and felt distressed for Ji Nuan's sensibility.

In the evening, Ji Nuan took half of the soybeans into the space: "Space, can you help me prepare tools and grinding tools for making tofu, please!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a small grinding plate, a stove, two buckets, a square wooden mold, a rectangular mold, and a matching wooden board and a small stone mill on the edge of the shack.

After the soybeans were soaked in the space for three hours, Ji Nuan began to grind the soy milk, cook the soy milk, and then add pure well water according to the calculated ratio.

The appearance is not very beautiful, the surface of the tofu is not very smooth, Ji Nuan washed it and cut a small piece of hand, the taste is still good, with the sweet fragrance of the space well water, only the smell of beans, no beany smell.

In the morning, I tried to let my eldest brother taste it, and found a way to take out the tofu and make it into a dish for the family to eat, as for how to explain it to the family, I can only rely on the eldest brother.

The autumn morning seems to be particularly busy, today Ji Lianqiu took the triplets to help the second grandfather's family cut soybeans, and in the afternoon used their ox cart to pull beans at home, Ji Ruinian took Ji Lianxi to help the old man cut for a day, and the twins promised to take their sister to the field to pick up pods, Gu Shuzhen really didn't worry about a few children, especially the girl, planning to go with them.

"Nuan Nuan, now when I hear that you are going out, my family is scared." Ji Lianduo likes to tease his sister the most.

"Seventh brother, if you are afraid, you can change it with the eldest brother or the fourth brother." Ji Nuan didn't care if he laughed at himself, if there was a surprise today, let everyone taste it, and let Brother Qi watch it when everyone else eats.

Ji Lianshou thought this was a good idea, and while everyone else joined in the fight against Seventh Brother, Ji Nuan pulled the eldest brother to her room, Ji Lianqiu wanted to go out, this is a girl's room, and she shouldn't go in.

"I have something serious to say to my eldest brother, don't you be embarrassed, besides, how old am I this year, and you are my own brother, is it so serious?"

Ji Lianqiu asked her to quickly say what to do with herself, she still has to work in the field for a while, Ji Nuan turned around and took out a small plate, which was a square piece of tofu, this girl made the tofu out, Ji Lianqiu now knows that she is more than just talking.

took a bite with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, Ji Lianqiu's eyes widened, this is also too delicious! It is very different from the tofu he has eaten before, and he dares to guarantee that this kind of tofu will sell well when it is taken out.

"Is this easy to do?"

"It's very easy, I'm only five years old and can do it independently, do you think it will be difficult, I still use last year's old beans, a pound of soybeans is about two to three pounds of tofu, if you use this year's new soybeans to do, not only the taste will be better, the yield can be increased to at least four catties."

Ji Lianqiu paced back and forth in the house, Daqi soybeans are cheap, mainly used to grind bean noodles, and some people have tried to eat, but the effect is not very satisfactory, so the countryside mainly grows wheat, and there are not many beans like his family who grow seven or eight acres of land.

If a pound of soybeans can make four pounds of tofu, an acre of land can net almost half a tael of silver, and the soybeans at home are left, and there will be several taels of silver this winter, which is much better than going out to do short-term work.

"What do you need to prepare to make this kind of tofu, can you make it anytime and anywhere, and if your master doesn't come, can you make it too?"

"You need to prepare a stone mill, a pot, two buckets, two wood molds, by the way, it is best to weigh more than 20 pounds, about the same size as the mold, and use flat stones for pressing water. The tofu you eat is done by me independently, it's really easy, the key to whether the tofu is delicious or not is in the water in which the tofu is made and the way to order the tofu, I have the exclusive way to order tofu given by the master, just add it to the water, it's very simple. ”

Ji Lianqiu now believes that her sister has a master with strong skills: "Nuan Nuan, if your master goes out one day, or you make her angry, won't our family be able to make tofu!" Ji Lianqiu was a little worried.

Ji Nuan told her eldest brother not to worry, the master had already taught her the method and would not take it back, she would neither betray her master, nor would people care about this kind of petty fight, her master was very capable, and it was a big deal to do it.

As my sister said, I don't have to worry about it, Ji Lianqiu promised to discuss making tofu with my father and mother after the soybeans were cut at home.

"My master said, there are many kinds of soy products, water tofu is the easiest, the best to make, and the least profitable, when Master and I learn other recipes, we can do more tricks to sell, the eldest brother had better persuade my father and mother to leave all the soybeans at home, if we start a business, six or seven acres of soybeans are not enough."

The family has never done business before, and Ji Lianqiu really has no bottom in his heart: "Let's try to make tofu first, the tofu is delicious, and if it sells well, it can persuade my father and mother to keep beans or harvest soybeans." ”

Ji Nuan went out first to attract the attention of his family, Lian Qiu quietly left his sister's residence, is it necessary to do this, wait for a few years for a man to enter his room by mistake, and if he is seen by his family, especially a few brothers, he will not eat each other alive!

Where do you want to go, if that kind of thing really happens, the family will not be able to raise their heads, Ji Nuan wants to become the pride of the family, and must not let them be ashamed because of themselves.

Those who go to work at the second master's house can still have a meal at noon, and they have to go home to eat at noon when they go to their grandfather's house to help, Ji Nuan allocated half of his porridge to the fifth brother: "Poor fifth brother, don't go in the afternoon, Dad, should we ask the second uncle's family if the work is not finished, whether you should help or not, and if you shouldn't help, go to the pole to help." Ji Nuan shook his little head after speaking.

"Today, tomorrow we won't go." Ji Ruinian persuaded himself and his family to help the old house work only to see the old man's face, and no one else looked at it, and in the future, he would help plant the land every spring and harvest a few days in the autumn, which was much stronger than the previous 365 days a year.
