"What is tofu?"
Hearing Yan Yunhua's words, Yan Nantian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there should be no tofu in this world.
In the world where material life is abundant, meat products have become very popular, and tofu is still an indispensable delicacy, which shows that tofu naturally has its own unique flavor.
Moreover, as the saying goes, things are vaguely expensive, and no one in this world has ever eaten tofu, let alone mapo tofu, Dongpo tofu, crispy tofu, tofu mixed with shallots, stinky tofu and other dishes.
Yan Nantian believes that as long as he develops tofu and makes tofu-related delicacies, he can definitely cause a sensation in the chef world, and Yipinju's business will immediately become popular.
Seeing Yan Nantian bowing his head and pondering, with a faint look of excitement on his face, Yan Yunhua couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "Xiaotian, what kind of tofu are you talking about? And the casserole you mentioned before, why are they all things I haven't heard of?"
Yan Nantian raised his head slowly, knowing that he had to find a reasonable explanation, otherwise there would be something new in the future, which would definitely arouse Yan Yunhua's suspicions.
Yan Nantian pondered for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and said, "Grandpa, do you believe in the God of Cooking?"
"Of course I believe it, we chefs, how can anyone not believe in the chef. Yan Yunhua showed a respectful look and said.
"Grandpa, during the time when I was injured, I met the kitchen god in a dream, and the kitchen god handed me a lot of things, and said that he would take me as an apprentice. Yan Nantian said.
"Xiaotian, if you can dream of the chef, you must be a good chef. Yan Yunhua showed a look of joy, but he didn't take Yan Nantian's words to heart.
Yan Yunhua believes in the god of cooking, and he has also dreamed of the god of cooking, but it is just his wishful dream, and it does not mean that he has really seen the god of kitchen.
"Grandpa, I really met the god of cooking, and he also gave me a lot of cooking skills, and told me that our family would encounter a crisis, and gave me a solution to the crisis. Seeing Yan Yunhua's application faint, Yan Nantian hurriedly said.
"Oh, what a way. Seeing Yan Nantian's serious face, Yan Yunhua also had a little more solemnity and asked.
"The chef gave me the idea of making tofu, saying that it was an ingredient that had never been made before, and that it could improve our Yipinju business. Yan Nantian said.
"Xiaotian, then tell grandpa, how to make this tofu?" Yan Yunhua asked.
"Grandpa, the main ingredients for making tofu are soybeans and brine, first the soybeans are crushed with a stone mill, and then the bean dregs are filtered out, and the remaining soybean milk is boiled, and the soybean milk is solidified in the brine, and then the tofu can be made. Yan Nantian explained.
"Xiaotian, there are soybeans in the kitchen, but what is the brine you are talking about?" Yan Yunhua wondered.
"Brine, which is the mother liquor that remains in the salt pond after salt is made from seawater or salty lake water, is the coagulant that allows tofu to form. Yan Nantian said.
"Xiaotian, the two ingredients you mentioned are not difficult to find, but they can really make tofu?" Yan Yunhua asked.
"Grandpa, even if you don't believe me, you should believe that the kitchen god is not, not to mention that these two ingredients are not difficult to find, why don't we give it a try?" Yan Nantian said.
"You're right, since the chef has entrusted you with a dream, then we can't live up to the chef's good intentions. Yan Yunhua showed a hint of piety and said.
Seeing that Yan Yunhua was finally moved, Yan Nantian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, now that he has the God of Kitchen as a shield, no matter what amazing moves he makes in the future, he can also shirk the God of Kitchen.
"Grandpa, the restaurant can last for seven days, let's go our separate ways without further ado, I'll stay at home and grind soybeans into soy milk, you go outside and find some brine." Yan Nantian said.
"Okay, then let's go our separate ways, there is a small stone mill in the yard not far from the back kitchen. Yan Yunhua said.
"I know Grandpa. Yan Nantian responded, and then solemnly admonished: "Grandpa, you still need to keep the development method of tofu and brine secret, don't let outsiders know." ”
"I naturally know this, this is handed down by the master of the kitchen god, if you can really make good things, it will be the heirloom of our Yan family. Yan Yunhua nodded, and then instructed Yan Nantian a few more words, and then left the back kitchen to find brine.
Seeing Yan Yunhua leaving in a hurry, Yan Nantian was not idle, filled some soybeans in a basin, and then washed all the soybeans, and then walked to the backyard with the basin.
Sure enough, as soon as Yan Nantian came to the backyard, he saw a small stone mill, this stone mill is usually used to grind noodles, and it is the first time to grind soybeans.
The so-called stone mill is actually very simple, that is, two round stones are stacked together, and then the soybeans are placed in the middle of the two round stones, the soybeans are crushed into powder, and then the stone mill is watered, and the powder made of soybeans will flow out.
In fact, before grinding soybeans, it is best to soak the soybeans overnight, so that it will be easier to grind, but now because of the urgency of time, Yan Nantian can only spend a little more effort.
Yan Nantian had just put the soybeans in, and before he had time to grind the soybeans, he heard a shout from outside, saying, "Old shopkeeper, old shopkeeper......"
Hearing that it was Zhou Dacheng's voice, Yan Nantian put down the work in his hand, greeted him and said, "Uncle Cheng, grandpa has something to go out, what can you tell me." ”
"Young shopkeeper, the tailor and the child you are looking for, I and the eldest baby have already found them, and now they have all been brought to the hall, waiting to listen to your orders. Zhou Dacheng explained.
"Okay, let's take a look. Yan Nantian smiled and said.
When the two of them walked into the lobby, they saw Zhou Dawa standing aside, a middle-aged man sitting on a bench, and a few children playing on the side.
Seeing Yan Nantian walking out, Zhou Dawa hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Young shopkeeper, Tailor Zhou and the child have been brought, what do you think we should do next?"
"Dawa, you go to the backyard first, grind those soybeans into a pulp for me, and I will use them later." Yan Nantian commanded.
"Okay, less shopkeeper. Zhou Dawa showed a bitter look and said.
Zhou Dawa glanced at the tailor and the child, he wanted to know how the tailor and the child could promote the restaurant, but Yan Nantian's orders could not be disobeyed, and he walked towards the backyard with some reluctance.
Seeing Zhou Dawa's look of loss, Yan Nantian didn't have any way, this restaurant can still use seven days, to revitalize Yipinju within seven days, and earn enough rent, it is not an easy thing, Yan Nantian must make good use of every minute and every second.
Yan Nantian turned his head and looked at Tailor Zhou and a few children, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, whether Yipinju's publicity can be done depends on these half-grown children.
......
Just when Yan Nantian and others were working hard to revitalize Yipinju, Wu Chunlai was not idle, but rushed to a tea house near Yipinju.
Wu Chunlai straightened his belly and walked into a private room in a tea house, where a middle-aged man sat up, stood up from his position, arched his hand at Wu Chunlai, and said, "Wu Yuanwai, I don't know how the matter of the restaurant is handled?"
"Outside the king, don't worry, I've done it all. Wu Chunlai smiled and said.
This man known as Wang Yuanwai, whose name is Wang Xuefu, is the one who wants to rent a restaurant in Yipinju, so he will wait for Wu Chunlai in the tea house.
"Wu Yuanwai, I don't know when that restaurant will be vacated?" Wang Xuefu said with a touch of joy.
With the continuous expansion of the restaurant's business, Wang Xuefu also wanted to open a branch in Wujiang Town, however, Wujiang Town has a large population and prosperous business, and it is not easy to find a suitable store.
A few days ago, I learned about the situation of Yipinju, and went to Wu's house to find Wu Chunlai, and wanted to rent a restaurant in Yipinju, which led to the scene this morning.
"Seven days. Wu Chunlai took a sip of tea and said.
"Seven days?" Hearing Wu Chunlai's words, Wang Xuefu frowned slightly, and said, "Wu Yuanwai, can't the restaurant be vacated earlier?"
It's not easy to find a restaurant in Wujiang Town, but now it's hard to find a suitable one, Wang Xuefu naturally wants to move in early, and what is happening in the province.
What's more, the chef and the guys in the new restaurant have been found, as long as they move into the restaurant, they can do business, and if they delay for one more day, they will earn one less day's money, Wang Xuefu is naturally unwilling to wait more.
"I have promised the shopkeeper Yan to let them stay for another seven days, and it is not good to kick them out in advance now. Wu Chunlai hesitated for a moment and said.
"That's okay Wu Yuanwai, I can hand over the deposit to you first. Wang Xuefu pondered for a moment, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and put it on the tea table in front of the two.
Looking at the silver ticket on the table, Wu Chunlai's eyes changed, his face was a little more kind, his right hand instinctively touched the silver ticket, and said with a smile: "Wang Yuanwai, you are so polite." ”
Seeing Wu Chun coming to touch the silver ticket, Wang Xuefu did not let go immediately, but said with a smile: "Wu Yuanwai, I will hand over the deposit to you first, but I also have a small request, I hope you can agree?"
"What requirements?" Wu Chunlai asked, staring at the silver ticket.
"Seven days is too long. Wang Xuefu said as he handed over the silver ticket and said:
"I'm going to move into the restaurant within three days!"
