On weekdays, I buy tofu in the town, and some people make tofu and go from village to village. You can exchange beans for a small processing fee. But when it comes to the Chinese New Year, many families will make some tofu at home, which is also a custom.

The home-made tofu is actually not as delicious as it was exchanged. After all, it is only done once a year, and all kinds of household goods are not professional, so this tofu is not so tender to eat. Yun Xue had also seen her mother make tofu before, and she remembered it in her heart. At that time, although there was no stone mill at home, the Liu family would go to the Li family or the Zhao family to borrow the grinding from other people's houses to make some tofu during the Chinese New Year.

Now that it has been done according to the program in memory, it has made Yunxue very happy. "Come, let's try our own tofu." Yun Xue cut a piece of hot tofu with a knife and put it on a plate. Then Yunni brought garlic sauce, and several children used garlic sauce with tofu, and it was very sweet.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious." Yun Ting said while eating.

Yun Xue couldn't help but shake her head, this is also made by the big guy, so she thinks it's delicious. However, seeing the happy appearance of her younger siblings, Yun Xue was in a good mood. "Leave some in cold water and eat it a few times. For the rest, we have to take it outside to freeze it, and the frozen tofu is also delicious. ”

Naturally, you can't finish eating such tofu for a while. Yun Xue thought about it and decided to send it to the Wu family. It's going to be a happy event over there, although you can't use tofu directly at the banquet, but you can use tofu to make meatballs or something. Besides, someone came over to help in the first few days of the happy event, and this tofu is used to entertain people who help, which is also a good thing.

In addition, I have to give some to the Zhong family, the Zhong family will definitely not get these, send them over to eat fresh. Other people's families don't need it, and at this time, many families have already started to make tofu.

A total of two square plates of tofu were made, so that just giving away someone would have to be close to one plate. For the rest, save some for a few days to eat, and then cut the rest into small pieces and put them on the outside. Frozen tofu stewed cabbage and stewed radish are also good things,

Yun Xue cut out the tofu with a knife, "Tianfu, you and Yun Ting, carry the remaining tofu in the square plate and give it to the Wu family." If you want to have a happy event, it's good to have one more dish. ”

Tianfu and Yunting were very obedient, quickly wiped their mouths, and walked out with the square plate. This square plate of tofu can probably have more than forty catties, Yun Xue only cut off about ten catties for the Zhong family, and the rest was all given to the Wu family.

"Yunni, you can send these to Grandma Zhong's house. I cut the rest of the plate at home. Yun Xue put the ten catties of tofu left behind into a basin and handed it to Yun Ni.

Yunni took the basin and left.

Yun Xue looked at the remaining plate and felt that it couldn't be frozen too much, so it was better to cut it into slices, fry it in oil, and fry it into tofu bubbles. The tofu bubbles can be thrown outside to be frozen, and when you want to eat them, you can take them back and stir-fry. Fried tofu soaking is not oil-consuming, this year the family planted a lot of soybeans, and I went to the town's oil mill to squeeze some soybean oil before, which is acceptable. So, Yun Xue disposed of the remaining plate of tofu separately according to her own plan.

By the time Tianfu and the others came back, Yun Xue had already cut the tofu into pieces and frozen it outside. The rest is also cut into slices thicker than chopsticks, and the fried tofu bubbles are kept. Of course, Yunxue still set aside some to prepare for the next few days.

Yunni saw those tofu slices and was a little strange, "Sister, what are you going to do here?" ”

"You'll find out later, come, let's clean up the house first." The room was a bit messy, and everyone quickly took out all the things that were made for tofu, and then it looked a little neater.

On this day, I was busy making tofu, and the sky outside was dark, so Yun Xue hurriedly lit the fire and made dinner. Tonight's dish is naturally based on tofu.

Yun Xue put a small pot on the stove and poured some oil into it to fry the tofu bubbles. "You all stay away, the tofu has water on it, and it's easy to crumble oil." Yun Xue told the few behind her.

Sure enough, when the tofu was put into the pot, some oil collapsed outward, and several children were so frightened that they were far away. Yun Xue also took a few hits, and she quickly put some salt in the oil, which made her better. In the end, a pot full of tofu bubbles was fried.

"Eldest sister, how do you eat this?" Yun Ni had never seen this thing, and she didn't know how to eat it.

"It's very simple, just fry and eat, now there are no green chili peppers, but you can put some garlic sprouts." The garlic you planted, I look good at it, you can cut a little and fry it. Yun Xue disconnected the small pot from the stove and set it aside to let the oil cool down.

In winter, most people plant some garlic seedlings and eat something fresh. Tianfu made a wooden trough next to the fire wall of the Westinghouse where they lived, and planted a trough full of garlic. Now the garlic sprouts have grown more than half a foot tall, and it's time to eat them.

As soon as Tianfu heard Yun Xue say this, he hurriedly ran to the house and pinched a large handful of garlic seedlings back. "Eldest sister, let's fry some in the evening, we all want to taste it."

This is simple, and it doesn't take much effort, Yun Xue cut the tofu bubble into strips and cut the garlic sprouts into sections. Then put it in the pot and fry it, and before it came out of the pot, it was done with some flour and thickened it.

"Alright, let's pack up and eat." It happened that dinner was also ready, and the big guy hurriedly put the table to eat.

The busy day was over, and when she was lying on the kang at night, Yun Xue felt a sore back. "Alas, this Chinese New Year is really tiring." She sighed.

Yun Ni covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm tired and happy, this year's eldest sister is at home, I feel that this year is really happy." You see, let's make pancakes, wrap sticky fire spoons, and make tofu, although we are a little busy and tired, but we look like a life, even if we are tired, we are happy. ”

Yun Xue also laughed, didn't she? I used to be in the mountains, and my family was still young, so naturally I couldn't do this. I don't have to go to the mountains this year, I stay at home, isn't it just to think about eating? "It's a pity that I don't know how to make rice cakes, otherwise, we should still make some rice cakes."

Yun Xue is not omnipotent, she can't do anything she hasn't seen after all. In the past, the life of the family could not catch up with the present. Liu's ability to steam a few pots of steamed buns with jujubes during the Chinese New Year is already very good. In this way, it will be remembered, and in the end, those jujube steamed buns will be taken away by those people in the old house. Children can't eat enough, and they may not be able to eat much.

As for the rice cakes, they all need glutinous rice or rhubarb rice, and they also need to use oil, and sometimes they have to add a lot of individual ingredients, and Liu is even more reluctant to make them. Yun Xue hasn't seen it, so naturally she won't do it.

The sisters talked for a while, and then fell asleep. They are really tired this day, fortunately they are young, if they are older, they don't know what it will be like to be tired. Everyone was full of joy and fell asleep.

On the fourteenth day, Yun Xue took her younger siblings to Wu's house to help. The closer she gets to the day of marriage, the busier she becomes, Han Yue'e is busy at home without touching the ground, and there is still a big mess of things that have not been done. Marrying relatives is a big deal, and it stands to reason that relatives should come to help, but Han Ren's family and the Wu family are in a stalemate, and Han Yue'e doesn't want to see them at all. Li came over and said that she wanted to help, but she only knew how to eat and where she was willing to work. Yue'e ignored her in a daze, causing Li to mumble away.

Yu Shi and Han Yi have always taken the time to come over to help, but there are too many things to do.

When Yunxue and the others arrived, Wu Chunsheng was taking Yuxiang and Yuqi to build a stove in the west wing. When the Wu family originally built a house, they set aside the residence of their two sons. The east chamber is given to Yuxiang, and the west chamber is given to Yuqi. However, at that time, only a large frame was built, and the inside was not cleaned up. When Yuxiang's family affairs were settled, Wu Chunsheng hurriedly put the kang in the east chamber and set up the stove. The West Chamber didn't get it for the time being, waiting for Yuqi's family affair to be decided.

Nowadays, there are happy events at home, and you can't cook outside in winter. So in the west chamber, four stoves were set up side by side. When Tianfu and Yunting saw it, they quickly rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to help. Don't look at Tianfu's age, these jobs are very skilled, and even Yuxiang can't catch up with him.

As soon as Chunsheng saw this situation, he asked Yuxiang to hurry up with Yun Zhao to go to the town and bring back all the dishes and dishes he had rented before.

Yuxiang drove the carriage and went to the town with Yun Zhao. There are special shops in the town that rent out all kinds of things for red and white ceremonies. Like the sedan chair used to welcome relatives, or the red drape on the carriage, all kinds of dishes and so on. Nowadays, there are happy events in every village, and these family items are not enough at all, and if they are not set in advance, they are useless at all.

Yuqi and Yunzhao carried all kinds of things to the car, and then handed over the rent and deposit to the shopkeeper, and put their fingerprints on the contract. When the happy event is completed and all kinds of household belongings are intact, the deposit will be returned. If there is a shortage, then you will have to compensate others according to the price. In general, there will be some losses, if you don't write a contract, I'm afraid that people will not be able to compensate when the time comes.

After saying goodbye to the people in the shop, the two brothers drove back to the carriage, Yun Zhao remembered the silver money he had just given to the family, and couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that marrying a daughter-in-law is so troublesome, and it costs so much money." Big cousin, did you give that person almost five taels of silver just now? "Yun Zhao is also fifteen years old this year, but he is slowly becoming more sensible.

Yuxiang nodded, "Well, it was given five taels, but there is a deposit in it, waiting for us to send things back, and some will be returned to us." ”
