Although he was a little worried that Xiao Xiaowei would be bullied in the academy, he had to say that throwing away his little tail, Qiao Xitan felt that he was really much faster to get things done.

She went home and packed a basket of washed and soaked soybeans, took them to the mill in Xishi, ground the soybeans into soy milk, and put them in a clean jar and went home.

The clean soy milk exudes a good aroma, smelling this fragrance, Qiao Xitan only felt in a good mood, and she didn't even jump her feet when she burned a few hairs on her forehead when she lit the fire.

Hurriedly pouring the soy milk and brine into the pot and boiling until it was lumpy, Qiao Xitan immediately scooped the formed tofu brain from the pot into the porcelain bowl and added the salty sauce she had specially prepared this morning.

Leaning over and sniffing it, it was a tofu brain mixed with the fragrance of tofu and the salty fragrance of the sauce, and the greedy Qiao Xitan snorted.

But this tofu brain is not what she made to satisfy her cravings.

Qiao Xitan carefully put the bowl of tofu brain into the food box, and walked towards Ning's house with it.

Si Niang's family lives in the most lively area of the town, although the Ning family is not a big family, but there is still an old gatehouse at the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The porter blinked, carefully identifying Qiao Xitan, wanting to see her identity.

However, I really haven't seen her, so I can only stop her at the door.

"I'm looking for Si Niang, you see, this is the veil she gave me." Qiao Xitan took out a silk handkerchief that she and Si Niang gave her yesterday and handed it to the old porter.

Before the old porter could reach out to pick it up, a hand reached out behind her and snatched the handkerchief.

"Strange, this is really my sister-in-law's veil." Behind him, there was a hoarse voice unique to the boy's voice change period.

Because these words were full of frivolity and arrogance, Qiao Xitan's brows couldn't help frowning.

Turning to look, she saw a half-grown boy standing behind her.

The young man's face is childish, although he is tall and tight, but his facial features are not bad.

It's that there are a lot of pimples on the face, which affects the overall appearance.

Qiao Xi Tanpi didn't smile, and he had already guessed the identity of the young man from his name for Si Niang, "Please return the handkerchief to me, Young Master Ning." ”

"You know me?" Ning Rong raised his eyebrows, and the smugness was all written on his face, "But I haven't seen you, otherwise I will never forget the scar on your face." ”

Ning Rong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, and was about to interrogate Qiao Xitan again to ask where he was fighting the autumn breeze, but at this moment, he smelled a little aroma overflowing from the food box.

"Eh, what are you talking about? Why is it so fragrant? "Although Ning Rong has not been a fine food since he was a child, he has also eaten all kinds of delicacies.

However, the fragrance that came out of Qiao Xi's sandalwood box this time was something he had never smelled.

Qiao Xitan had already lifted Ning Rong's foot and beaten it thousands of times in her heart, but in the face of the bear child, she still couldn't help but didn't make a move.

"If you're curious, take me to see Si Niang, and you'll naturally know what this is when the time comes." Qiao Xitan stretched out his hand and motioned for Ning Rong to return the handkerchief.

Ning Rong couldn't snatch the food box from Qiao Xitan's hand, so he could only swallow his saliva when he heard the words, and urgently glanced at the food box before handing the handkerchief to Qiao Xitan.

"Okay, I'll take you to my sister-in-law." Ning Rong gave in, and he was greedy.

The two entered Ning's house one after the other, and it didn't take long for Ning Rong to take Qiao Xitan outside Si Niang's courtyard.

It just so happened that Wen Yue was coming back from outside at this time, and when she saw Qiao Xitan, she immediately greeted her, completely leaving Young Master Ning aside, "Tan Niang, come in, our lady was still talking about you just now." ”

Qiao Xitan turned his head and glanced at Ning Rong, who was looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back and shaking his legs, and hummed while shaking his legs, and was a little puzzled how a little girl in Qianyue dared to give Ning Rong, the little young master, a look.

However, Qiao Xitan didn't plan to ask more, only carried the food box and followed Wenyue around the main hall and into a small garden deep in the courtyard.

At this time, Si Niang was sitting in the gazebo in the garden to enjoy the cool and read the account book, and when she looked up and saw Qiao Xitan coming, a smile immediately bloomed on her face, but when she saw Ning Rong who was following her, the smile on Si Niang's face was alive and well.

Qiao Xitan greeted Si Niang by herself, sat down opposite her, and put the steaming bowl of hot tofu brain in the food box in front of Si Niang.

Si Niang was also hooked by the fragrance emanating from the tofu brain, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she raised her eyes to look at Qiao Xitan, "This is tofu?" ”

"Definitely." Qiao Xitan shook his finger and replied with a smile, "This is bean curd, known as tofu brain in the rivers and lakes, try it." ”

At this time, Ning Rong, who was standing on the edge of the pavilion with his hands tied, also saw the only bowl of tofu brain, and immediately stepped forward when he heard the words, "I, I also want to eat ......"

His voice was as thin as a mosquito in the end, but Qiao Xitan and Si Niang still heard it clearly.

Si Niang ignored him, but still reached out and picked up the spoon, stirred the tofu brain and sauce in the bowl to mix it together, and then couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful into her mouth.

The entrance is a silky texture that is completely different from tofu, and the aroma of soy sauce mixed with the aroma of green onions for decoration perfectly embellishes this salty and fragrant tofu brain, which is appetizing.

Si Niang couldn't help but eat another spoonful, and then the light in her eyes could no longer be hidden, and she looked at Qiao Xitan with admiration, "It's delicious!" ”

After listening to Si Niang's evaluation, Qiao Xitan was truly relieved.

When she was wandering around the street yesterday, she found that although there are shops in the town that buy tofu, there are no shops that make tofu brains, and even snacks are scarce on the street, and the most are noodle stalls and sweet water picks.

However, if she is a person from other places, if she rashly sets up a stall on the street to sell tofu brains, it is equivalent to grabbing business with those small shops and restaurants.

If that's the case, it is estimated that it won't be long before they join forces to suppress it.

In the end, it is a trivial matter to be robbed of business, and if they are driven out of town by joining forces, it will be more than worth the loss.

Fortunately, she has a new acquaintance with the local snake silk girl, and she can borrow her fame in this place to beat the name of Qiao's tofu brain.

However, she didn't exactly want to hug Si Niang's thighs, in exchange, Qiao Xitan decided to help Si Niang reform her family's chain cloth store.

Qiao Xitan's head was full of thoughts, and when she opened her mouth, she wanted to discuss with Si Niang, but Ning Rong, who was standing on the side, couldn't hold her breath anymore, and saw that the tofu brain was about to be eaten by Si Niang, so she quickly jumped up and raised her hand, "Sister-in-law, if you don't eat it, you will reward me!" ”

"Virtue." Wen Yue, who was standing on the side, rolled her eyes when she saw Ning Rong's appearance.

Si Niang waved her hand helplessly, glanced at the remaining half bowl of tofu brain with some reluctance, and ordered Wenyue to serve the bowl to Ning Rong, "If you don't think about me, you can eat it." ”

"No, no!" Ning Rong was raised by Si Niang as a child since he was a child, although he was a little rebellious, but he has always regarded Si Niang as an elder.

Qiao Xitan speechlessly glanced at Ning Rong, who ate the tofu brain into his stomach in three or two bites, and suddenly didn't understand, just such a little fool, why did he think he could snatch the Ning family's property from Si Niang's hands?

Is he mentally retarded?

"Let's talk from a different place." Si Niang naturally saw that Qiao Xitan couldn't come today just to send her a bowl of tofu brain.

Qiao Xitan couldn't ask for it, so she immediately followed Si Niang to her study, and the two had an exchange.

"Would you really like to tell me how to make tofu brain?" Si Niang's eyes were full of disbelief.
