Chapter 33: The Advent of Tofu Brain
Tofu brain is a semi-finished product of tofu, which is more delicate.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xia and the three of them cooperated tacitly, with a clear division of labor, and successfully made tofu brain at one time.
Jianghu couldn't wait to take the bowl and taste it, "This tofu brain melts in the mouth, it is tender and smooth, and the taste is amazing." ”
Dasheng has tofu in the country, but there is no tofu brain. Jianghu is the first time to eat this thing, and it is quite a surprise.
"What is this? After a while, I took out the marinade of tofu brain and poured it on it, and it was really a must. Gu Xia replied with a smug face.
When the rivers and lakes heard that there was still marinade, their eyes lit up.
He knew that the products produced by his sister-in-law must be high-quality.
Gu Xia mixed a total of two flavors of marinade, one is the sweet juice boiled in brown sugar and ginger water, and you can not put it if you don't like ginger.
The other is salty marinade, shiitake mushrooms, chopped green onions, fungus stir-fried, boiled with water, and some soy sauce and other seasonings are put into it.
It's a pity that there are few seasonings in ancient times, the salt is coarse salt, and the fine salt is very expensive, and it is not something that they can afford to eat. There is no chicken powder to improve the freshness.
There is no starch, the marinade is not so viscous, and the taste is not half a star. It's a pity.
Starch is easy to make, and she plans to make it herself later.
It is used in many delicacies, fresh powder can also be made by home, and as for coarse salt purification, it is even easier for her.
Thinking about it, she really has a lot to do!
Gu Xia adjusted the marinade, and the two Jiang Yi brothers grinded the tofu. Some are too tender and not very formed.
But it's good to be able to grind tofu like this for the first time. Practice makes perfect, and a few more experiments will make the perfect tofu.
"The marinade of Xianggong's tofu brain is ready, it has a salty and sweet taste, what flavor do you want to eat, I will pour it on you." Gu Xia leaned over and asked softly.
"Salty." Jiang Yi didn't show it on his face, but he was already happy in his heart.
The daughter-in-law's newly mixed marinade, the first person who thought of it was to listen to it, which showed that his position in the daughter-in-law's heart was the most important.
"Sister-in-law, I want to taste all the sweet and salty mouths, so let's have a bowl." The rivers and lakes came over without asking and answering.
"Do it yourself, your sister-in-law works so hard, you don't know how to help with the work, and you still instruct your sister-in-law to come." Jiang Yi said a few words to the second brother angrily.
Jianghu has a big heart, and he is not angry. I went to pour the juice on my own.
Jiang Hai was not at home, so he went to enlighten the children in the village again.
Mother Jiang gave the two small ones, and they also each served a bowl of tofu brain.
"Mother wants sweet juice." Bai Bao licked his lips milkily, especially greedy.
"Mother, don't be spicy." Rainbow Dash slurred words. Jiang Mu understood. The younger son is not eating ginger.
Gu Xia was originally the party of salty bean curd, but there was little seasoning in the salty marinade. It's not as sweet as it gets, and it just so happens that she can't get low blood sugar when she makes up some brown sugar.
A large family was drinking tofu brain, and it was not until they drank it that everyone was willing to express their opinions.
"Sister-in-law's tofu brain is so delicious, I haven't drunk enough of four big bowls, if I can drink it every day, even if I die on the spot, I will be happy." The rivers and lakes have an aftertaste.
It wasn't until later that Gu Xia made the tofu brain business bigger and stronger, and the rivers and lakes drank this thing until they vomited.
I can't stand eating it every day!
A large family drank this bean curd for lunch, and drank it one by one until it was supported, which was very popular.
After lunch, several people did not stop and continued to study the tofu industry.
Gu Xia instructed the two brothers Jiang Yi to grind tofu and order brine, and with the efforts of the three of them, the perfect tofu was finally made.
All three of them have a sense of accomplishment.
"It seems that making tofu is not very difficult. Our family will make a living by grinding tofu in the future. My sister-in-law's tofu brain is so delicious, it will definitely sell well. Jianghu sighed heartily.
In the future, he will follow his sister-in-law, eating and drinking!
Jiang Yi gave the second brother a cold look, and the second brother said all the good things, he didn't have anything to boast about?
Gu Xia was still thinking about things in her mind, and she didn't listen to the words of the rivers and lakes.
There is no tofu in Taoshu Village, their Jiang family is the first, the tofu is soft and tender, suitable for all ages. The price is not expensive and delicious, and you don't have to worry about not being able to sell.
Naturally, she will not stop at making tofu, the tofu business is on the right track, she will also make dried tofu, tofu milk, and even stinky tofu, a series of soy products.
"How much does a piece of tofu sell for my daughter-in-law?" Jiang Yi leaned over to Gu Xia and asked.
"Xianggong thinks that three dollars a piece, five dollars two dollars? The same price is also for bean curd. Gu Xia replied.
A pound of soybeans can produce three or four pounds of old tofu, that is, almost five or six yuan, and a pound of soybeans is only two cents. The rest is pure profit.
A total of 20 pieces of tofu were grinded, leaving two pieces to stew at home, leaving 18 pieces, Gu Xia sent Jiang Yi and the two brothers to carry the burden to the same village to shout and sell. I didn't make much of the bean curd, so I didn't ask them to sell it.
Just asked the brothers to mention it when they bought tofu in the village, and if they wanted to try it, they would come to Jiang's house to buy bean curd.
The two brothers went out to sell tofu, and Gu Xia was not idle at home, she planned to make starch, with this thing, the salty marinade could also be more viscous and have a better taste.
The Jiang family only had taro and no potatoes, and Jiang's mother heard that her daughter-in-law was going to use potatoes to make starch, so she immediately took a bowl of salty and sweet bean curd and went to the next door to change a large basket full of potatoes.
It can be said that she supports her daughter-in-law very much.
Gu Xia squatted on the ground peeling potatoes, and Jiang Mu also squatted next to her to help when she saw it, but Gu Xia couldn't persuade her.
After slicing the potato chips, Gu Xia chopped them and put them in a large basin to soak. Soak for half an hour to change the water. After repeating two or three times, wrap a piece of gauze with potato wedges and squeeze out the water.
Gu Xia squeezed the potato water, and Jiang's mother also helped, and the two of them watched this work fun, and they also clamored to help their sister-in-law work.
Squeeze a few more times. The starch was preliminarily completed, let it stand overnight, pour out the excess water the next day, and the rest was starch, which was dried into powder to get the starch Gu Xia wanted.
Jiang Yi is responsible for carrying the burden, and Jianghu is responsible for shouting, "Sell tofu, cheap and delicious tofu, you can't buy it at a loss, you can't be fooled." ”
Jianghu has some talent in this area, and he can wipe his face with the first shout, and he looks like he is familiar with a light car.
It really attracts a lot of people from the village to come and buy, this year to buy meat can not eat, a piece of tofu is only three copper plates, hungry and delicious. The people in the village can also give it.
"I didn't expect the Jiang family to make tofu, this tofu looks good, and it can be delicious when you look at it. Now there are people in our village who grind tofu, and we don't have to walk several miles to Daliushu Village to buy it. It's so convenient. The village chief said happily. At that moment, he took out five copper plates and bought two pieces of tofu.
Some people in the village don't know whether Jiang's tofu is good or not, so they buy a piece.
The family has a large population, and one piece of tofu is not enough, so it is cheaper to buy two pieces together, so buy two pieces.
"In addition to tofu, our Jiang family, the village chief, also has bean curd, which is more tender and smoother than tofu. My sister-in-law poured the secret marinade on it, not to mention how delicious it was. You go back and eat my tofu, and you can take the village chief's wife to our house to drink bean curd. Make sure you drink it once and think about the next time. "Jianghu picked up tofu for the villagers and introduced bean curd.
