Chapter 16 Making Tofu

"That's it, Shen Yunxi, you are really a white-eyed wolf, the Shen family has raised you for so many years, you don't want to pull the strings, and you are still slandering your fourth uncle's reputation here, how did our Shen family have a daughter like you!"

Mrs. Shen can't see others talk about her precious son the most, "You don't want to pull the strings down!" I don't believe that without your connection, my family's Wen Junshu won't be able to read! ”

After speaking, Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Wenjun and was about to go out, she has been running into a wall here again and again in the past few days, and she is a little frightened of this courtyard!

Shen Wenjun still wanted to work hard, but he couldn't drag the old lady and was pulled away directly.

Shen Yunxi looked back at Mu Chenglin, Mu Chenglin didn't speak from beginning to end, his face was expressionless, he looked at Shen Yunxi and turned his head to work.

Shen Yunxi didn't know where to offend this young man again, so he shook his head helplessly.

"Mother, don't pull me, you don't know Xia Yifan's identity, I heard that he has several hotels in the county!" Shen Wenjun was still unwilling to give up.

Old Madam Shen stopped and persuaded, "Son! Don't think about it Boss Xia, you don't know that this Shen Yunxi treats us as enemies now! ”

"The wound on her head was not caused by me, and it was not I who stuffed her into the sedan chair. Besides, Su Shi left early, we didn't dislike her for being a daughter, and raised her little by little, can we have her today? ”

"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have listened to that Liu in the first place. If Shen Yunxi hadn't married, he would have been able to sell it for at least five hundred taels now! ”

"Five hundred taels, enough for you to spend in the town for many years!"

Before coming, the old lady complained to Shen Wenjun that if Shen Yunxi hadn't come to Mu's house, he would have been able to sell it for at least five hundred taels, but he wasn't too relieved at that time, because he wanted Xia Yifan's funding.

It's not just Xia Yifan's money, but more importantly, this reputation, with Xia Yifan's reputation, he Shen Wenjun will definitely be touted by many people in the town!

But now that Shen Yunxi actually rejected him, he had to take this sentence to heart.

Before dawn the next day, Shen Yunxi got up, and Mu Chenglin had already gotten up, because today Shen Yunxi wanted to make tofu, a soy product that tasted better than bean sprouts.

The stone mill was ready the day before, Shen Yunxi added some water to the soaked soybeans and poured them into the grinding eye of the stone mill, Mu Chenglin began to grind, and slowly milky white bean juice flowed out from the mouth of the stone mill little by little, Mu Chenglin saw it, and the shock in his eyes could not be hidden.

How did Shen Yunxi come up with this method? What is the origin of that Su clan?

Shen Yunxi soaked a lot of soybeans in total, Mu Chenglin was grinding while grinding, Shen Yunxi was adding soybeans on the other, and the two of them worked hard for a long time to grind these soybeans into bean juice.

This process is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say that it is simple, the water can not be too much and not too little, otherwise the bean juice will not flow out evenly.

Shen Yunxi also tried a little bit before he grasped the amount.

Grind the bean juice and strain it through gauze. Put a clean small wooden basin on the cauldron, which is also what Mu Chenglin has just made in the past few days, there are a few gaps under the wooden basin, put the gauze on the wooden basin, pour in the bean juice, and the pure bean juice flows into the pot along the gauze and the gaps.

In the end, Mu Chenglin wrapped the gauze and squeezed it hard, and what was filtered out was the bean dregs, there were no chickens or pigs at home, and Shen Yunxi decided to use it to make bean dregs cakes when he was done.

The filtered bean juice began to boil slowly, and Shen Yunxi stood by the pot and stirred slowly, this time will be a little longer, and the taste of the tofu will be more mellow.

Mu Chengjin and Mu Mu also got up, and Shen Yunxi took advantage of the moment when Mu Chenglin went out, secretly took out the halogen tablets from his arms, bloomed them with cold water, and kept them for later use.

She has been studying the practice of tofu for the past few days, and she doesn't know that in addition to soybeans, she also needs tofu to make tofu.

Either gypsum, halogen, or white vinegar.

She checked again and found that brine tofu was better than gypsum tofu, so she chose brine tofu.

Later, when she completely got rid of this matter, she replaced the marinade with white vinegar, and there might be a difference in taste, but at least she could keep her secret.

After the soy milk was cooked, it was ready to cool, Mu Chenglin began to prepare breakfast again, and Shen Yunxi specially told her that she should use this water and let Mu Chenglin not move. At the same time, she took out some soy milk and kept it for a while to make tofu brain.

Although Mu Chenglin didn't understand what the secret of this water was, he still did it, and after eating, the soy milk was almost cold, Mu Chenglin used chopsticks to pick off a thick layer of skin on the soy milk, and Shen Yunxi began to order tofu.

She poured the brine into the soy milk little by little, stirring constantly, the process was a little slower, and slowly the soy milk became bean curd.

Mu Chengjin and Mu Mu were very surprised when they saw it, they thought that the water in Shen Yunxi's bowl was ordinary water, but they didn't expect that the soybeans would be soaked and boiled, ground into a pulp and cooked, and they could turn into bean curd when they encountered water, which was really incredible.

Only Mu Chenglin knew that the bowl of water was not ordinary water, but as long as Shen Yunxi could make the tofu she said and the water was not poisonous, he would not ask more.

After ordering the marinade, it will be left to rest for a while, and there will be more and more bean curd, which can be pressed.

Mu Chenglin brought the pot to the courtyard, Shen Yunxi placed the gauze on the wooden frame, poured the bean curd in the pot into the wooden frame, and poured three wooden frames in a row, Shen Yunxi placed the wooden frames alone, and put a big stone on each one for suppression.

She originally wanted to overlap directly, but she was worried that the force was different, and the tofu would be a little different, and today she was going to send the tofu to Xia Yifan, and the finished product made for the first time was best not to have too many differences.

Xia Yifan is a businessman, which is not conducive to their bargaining.

In the process of waiting, Shen Yunxi was ready to make tofu brain again, because she wanted to put inner fat, so she went to brush the pot, and then took advantage of everyone's inattention, poured a little inner fat into the pot, and then poured in the soy milk that had just been served, the soy milk was already cool, but it was estimated that the temperature should be about the same.

Shen Yunxi stirred it slightly, and then closed the lid of the pot.

The whole process makes everyone a little incomprehensible, what kind of tofu brain can be made directly on it?

When did soybeans become so amazing?

Taking advantage of this effort, Shen Yunxi brought in Mu Chenglin again and started to make the marinade of tofu brain.

Add oil to the pot and fry the chopped green onion and garlic until fragrant, add boiling water, then put some soaked dried wild vegetables and chopped mushrooms, cook for a while, add salt, and then add some water flour to thicken, and the marinade is ready.

After doing this, Shen Yunxi went to look at the tofu, and it was done!

White and tender and boxy, I can't tell that it was still a hard soybean before!

Let's go to see the tofu brain, because the temperature is higher at the end of summer, and the tofu brain has also become!

Shen Yunxi took out four bowls, scooped bean brains into each bowl, and then poured the marinade, which directly aroused people's appetite.

The tofu brain itself is white and tender, and the marinade is also very fragrant, and everyone is full of praise for eating it.

"How? Delicious, right? Shen Yunxi saw that Mu Chengjin was sweating profusely and deliberately teased him.

Mu Chengjin nodded, there was still bean curd on his mouth, Shen Yunxi smiled, even if the Mu family had a good life, they had never seen these foods.

"How do you get all this tofu?" Mu Chenglin asked after eating the bean brain, and after tasting the taste of the bean brain, his yearning for tofu was a little more.

"Let's make a few things ourselves, leave a little for ourselves to eat, and put the rest in the food box for Xia Da Shang to taste, with the finished product and method and taste, this tofu will definitely be sold at a good price!" Shen Yunxi said, directly hand over the tofu to Xia Yifan, he will definitely suppress the price, if she directly gives him the method, I believe Xia Yifan will not let go of such a good opportunity.

After speaking, Mu Chenglin began to act, the first thing to do is to fry the tofu, cut the tofu into pieces, fry it in oil until golden brown on both sides, and then put the tofu after the chili pepper and minced garlic are stir-fried, and then pour the sauce prepared in advance, the sauce has salt, sugar, flour and water, simmer for a while, and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Without soy beans, the taste will be a few points worse, but it is still delicious, Mu Chengjin followed behind with chopsticks and nodded while eating.

is not at all like the children from a big family, Mu's mother did not blame, but looked at them very dotingly.

The second thing to do is to stew tofu, cut the tofu into cube pieces, and fry the meat foam with green onions, ginger and garlic until fragrant, because I haven't been to the town for a few days, there is no meat at home, Shen Yunxi cut a small piece of bacon and used it.

Add boiling water, then add tofu and salt, simmer for a while over medium heat, and sprinkle chopped green onions out of the pot.

Mu Chengjin tasted it and shouted, "Brother, I can eat a bowl of rice here!" ”

Seeing that Mu Chengjin loved to eat so much, everyone laughed.

The third dish is cold tofu, which is very simple, Shen Yunxi can make it by herself, she directly asked Mu Chenglin to make tofu and mushroom soup.

Shen Yunxi chopped the wild onion, put some salt, stirred well with chopsticks, and the cold tofu was ready.

Mu Chengjin didn't dare to put down the chopsticks when he looked good, but he still believed in Shen Yunxi very much, and after tasting it, his eyes were cold, refreshing and delicious, and raw tofu could be so delicious.

On the other end, Mu Chenglin put the mushrooms in a pot and fried them, then added water, and after the water boiled, he added the cut tofu, and then sprinkled with salt and shallots.

The last dish is the okara cake.

In the future, every day when making tofu, there will be a lot of bean dregs left, and it is a pity to throw it away, so it is better to sell it to a restaurant, which is also a dish.

Add shallots, eggs, salt and flour to the bean dregs, take a small piece of soft and even, press it into a cake shape, put oil in the pan, and fry it on low heat until golden brown on both sides, fragrant and crispy!

Mu Chenglin kept a lot of each dish at home, and packed the rest and prepared to go to the town to find Xia Yifan.

Mu Mu didn't want Shen Yunxi to go, she was just injured yesterday, and she got up before dawn today, and she went to the town after working for a long time, which was too hard.

But Shen Yunxi is not at ease, in her eyes, the capable Mu Chenglin is only a sixteen-year-old boy, and Xia Yifan is a businessman!

Seeing that she was so insistent, Mu Mu had no choice but to let her go, Mu Chenglin packed the remaining tofu with a wooden frame and carried it on his back, carried a lunch box in his hand, and went to the town with Shen Yunxi.

When I left yesterday, I heard Shen Yunxi say that he would come to deliver tofu today, and early in the morning, Xia Yifan was looking forward to it.

But it was close to noon, and I didn't see anyone.

A strong man beside him said, "The method of soybeans, Xia Guo has not studied it for a long time, how can he let a hunter study it!" ”

Obviously, he didn't believe it!

If Shen Yunxi was here, he would be able to recognize this strong man as one of the strong men who went to help transport soybeans that day.

Xia Yifan shook his head, from the first time he saw Shen Yunxi, to the golden sugar gourd, to the soybean sprouts, and then to the Mu family, he ate sauerkraut fish, salted duck, and mushrooms that everyone thought were poisonous, as well as smoked meat.

Xia Yifan knew that the soy products that Mu Chenglin said were not fake, and all this should have been thought up by Shen Yunxi.

As for why they haven't come yet, either they have failed today, or this is not easy, and they need time too.

In any case, Xia Yifan was full of confidence in Shen Yunxi.

Just when the strong man was about to say something, the shopkeeper knocked on the door, followed by the shopkeeper was the little Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin, who was carrying a wooden frame and a food box.

Mu Chenglin came in and put down the wooden frame, no matter how strong he was, he also sweated a lot.

Shen Yunxi took out the six tofu dishes in the food box one by one, and then displayed the tofu in the wooden frame.

"This?" Xia Yifan looked at the white and tender tofu and didn't believe that it was made of soybeans at all.

"Aren't soybeans yellow? It's white! The strong man also questioned.

Xia Yifan introduced, "This is the steward of Qingfeng Building, surnamed Hong, when I am not there, everything in Qingfeng Building is in charge of him." ”

Mu Chenglin, Shen Yunxi and Steward Hong said hello, Xia Yifan's move was to worry, when he was not there, if the young couple made something to eat, the two of them could not find themselves, and they would sell it to other restaurants.

"This is indeed made of soybeans, don't believe it, you can smell it!" Shen Yunxi explained to Steward Hong.

Steward Hong pinched a little tofu, sniffed it, tried a little more lightly, and then nodded, "That's right, it does smell of beans!" ”

Xia Yifan touched these tofu lovingly, "I didn't expect that soybeans could become like this!" ”

"And it's delicious! Xia Gongzi, you taste! Shen Yunxi pointed to the six dishes on the table and said.

Steward Hong immediately went downstairs and brought two pairs of chopsticks and two spoons, because he himself also wanted to taste what the tofu made of soybeans tasted like.

The first dish is fried stewed tofu, which is tender and delicious, the outer layer is burnt and fragrant, and the inside is tender and soft.

The second dish is stewed tofu, which has a fragrant taste and delicate texture, and has a salty and fragrant taste with bacon added to it.

The third dish is tofu and mushroom soup, the tenderness of the tofu and the freshness of the mushrooms are heartwarming and stomach-warming.

The fourth dish is tofu brain, which looks particularly beautiful, tender and watery, and with marinade, it is tender and smooth and fragrant.

The fifth course is the bean dregs cake, which is fried and crispy and has a special taste.

The last dish is the most unaesthetic cold tofu, the two people who tasted the first five dishes didn't want to put down the chopsticks, but Xia Yifan and Hong shopkeeper still controlled their facial expressions very well, tasted a small bite, and the two of them were bright, the taste was tender, refreshing and greasy!

Even businessmen like Xia Yifan couldn't help but show praise in front of Mu Chenglin and his wife, "I didn't expect you to not only make soy products, but also research so many methods, these dishes are still so delicious!" ”

"Since Xia Gongzi likes it so much, then let's go straight to the point, how much money does Xia Gongzi plan to buy our tofu."
