In the book, I was fed by my sister

The next morning, before daybreak, Song Ran got up early. She went to the kitchen and saw that the tofu in the colander last night had lost a lot of water. The originally tender white tofu became firmer and looked like old tofu.

Song Ran cut a large piece of tofu and gave it to Su Xiaoxiao, saying, "Take this tofu back and use it as a snack for the guys in the store." Then, she turned and looked at the remaining tofu in the basket, and remembered what Su Xiaoxiao had mentioned yesterday - "Use heavy objects to press out the water." So, she decided to press the tofu for a while longer.

He covered the tofu with a clean cloth, and then placed a cutting board on the cloth. He felt that the cutting board was not heavy enough, so he found a weight and pressed it firmly on the cutting board. After doing all this, Song Ran nodded with satisfaction and said to himself, "Let's see how it goes in the afternoon."

In the afternoon, Song Ran opened the cloth bag and observed carefully. The tofu became more solid. "The toughness of this tofu looks good."

Ran heard a noise outside the house and went out curiously to check what was going on.

Song Li also followed her sister out the door.

Seeing the officer escorting Lin Caiwei, Song Ran rushed into the crowd and asked the people around him, "What's going on?"

Everyone started talking about it, and someone said, "Oh, I heard that when Bai Xiuwen died, it was found out that it was his wife who did it! She looked so gentle and weak, but I didn't expect her to be so cruel. Poor the two children, what will they do in the future?"

As Song Ran listened to people's conversation, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the two little kids who had been following Lin Caiwei.

Oh, it's really pitiful...

As night fell, Song Ran cut the tofu into small pieces, put them into the pot and stir-fried them, adding appropriate amounts of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings. Soon, a dish of tofu dishes with good color, aroma and taste came out of the pot. She asked Su Xiaoxiao expectantly: "How is it? How does it taste?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and replied, "Although it already has a little bit of fragrance, it's still far from it! However, the taste of this tofu is quite good."

Song Li ate with relish, but it still didn't meet Su Xiaoxiao's standards. Real dried tofu must be so delicious.

Song Ran decided to continue trying to improve it tomorrow, but it was less delicious...

Just use braising sauce, it will taste good once the flavor is absorbed.

When Su Xiaoxiao returned home in the evening, she saw that dinner was fried tofu again.

"Try it again today."

"Hmm! The dark part tastes good, but the light part tastes a little worse."

Song Ran began to ponder again. The dark part was next to the tofu skin. Although it had been marinated for an entire afternoon, the flavor still hadn't penetrated into the innermost part.

On the third day, Song Ran ground tofu again. This time, before braising it, she cut it into thick slices and then threw it into the pot.

Su Xiaoxiao returned home and saw that dinner was another fried tofu.

"Xiaoxiao, come here, the taste will definitely be even today."

Song Li looked at Su Xiaoxiao with pleading eyes, telling her not to make any suggestions for revisions, as she no longer wanted to take advantage of her.

"The taste! The toughness! Everything is right! But it would be better if the appearance was more beautiful and regular."

The tofu slices drained in the colander did not look very good, but once the taste and texture were right, Song Ran began to think about the presentation.

During the days when Song Ran was thinking about how to make the dried tofu look good, Song Li thanked God that she finally didn't have to eat dried tofu.

……

Song Li followed her elder sister into the city. Her elder sister wanted to visit the tofu shop and buy some tools.

She also accepted Rongrong's task of buying candied haws.

The eldest sister recognized by Da Mai, the three of them were all very dark and thin. Knowing that they would meet their future employer today, they went to the river to wash up and looked much more energetic.

The location of the shop was chosen by Su Xiaoxiao. Considering the uncertainty of the early profits, the location was not in a bustling area, but it was close to the city gate, so it was considered a good location.

The three older sisters were very good at work. They had been responsible for the household before, so cleaning the house was no problem for them. In one day, they bought two large iron pots, iron spoons, and tables, and cleaned the house inside and out.

Diao Xingyun held the handkerchief nervously and said, "Boss, you need to check if there is anything that has not been cleaned properly."

Song Ran looked around and said with satisfaction, "No problem, thank you for your hard work. That's all for today. I'll bring the soaked beans tomorrow. Get on the donkey cart and we'll go to the south of the city for dinner."

Diao Xingyun and the other two hesitated before climbing onto Song Ran's donkey cart.

Their lives will probably get better...

The donkey cart stopped at the backyard of a large restaurant. Song Ran walked into the backyard and tied up the donkey. When he entered the front hall, he met Li Xu who had just finished serving dishes from the kitchen.

"Miss Song is here! The boss is waiting in the leftmost box on the second floor." Li Xu greeted Song Ran with a smile.

Li Xu is Yang Bailan's daughter, and she played a big role in helping her mother get a successful divorce.

Now, she is working as a waitress in Su Xiaoxiao's new restaurant, while her mother works as a waitress in the kitchen. As for Li Mingping, after a period of silence, he started fishing again.

Before, Yang Bailan’s two sons didn’t understand: their mother has already lived most of her life, why doesn’t she just continue living her life? Now they understand.

Yang Bailan said: "I thought I was going to meet the King of Hell that day, but luckily it was a girl from the village who went to find a doctor without my knowledge. She is considered dead once, and I don't know how long she can live. She should live comfortably for the rest of her life."

Diao Xingyun and the other two followed Song Ran upstairs. Diao Xingyun looked around as she walked, and her eyes finally fell on the lobby below, which was full of people. She couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. She never dreamed that she would be able to step into such a place in her life.

The boss had told them before that they should not underestimate this tofu shop because their major shareholder was very rich. Although they did not know what a major shareholder was, they felt confident when they thought that there was such a wealthy boss backing them up.

The boss also told them to work hard and hired beggars from the city, so they wouldn't be afraid of people coming to cause trouble. She thought that if the bastard in her family dared to cause trouble, she would let those beggars give him a hard time.

"How is it?" Su Xiaoxiao asked, leaning against the railing.

"I never expected that the business is getting better and better now!" Song Ran said with tears of excitement in her eyes. She is responsible for compiling the menus in the store, so it can be said that her father's recipes have been passed down.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw the fall of the big boss behind Xunzhenlou, she became eager to give it a try.

After the Chinese New Year, she started to prepare for the store. After more than a month of opening, the store has finally taken some business from Xunzhenlou. Now the business conditions of the two stores have gradually become balanced, and there is a vague feeling that they will be on par with Xunzhenlou.
