The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"Eat! Daya and I have already eaten."

When they were eating just now, the two brothers didn't eat much, so they must be very hungry now.

The two were indeed very hungry. After hearing that Lin Zhi and the others had finished eating, they cleared all the food on the table without any hesitation.

Because the shop was closed, the family did not count money at night, but instead busy themselves with their own things under the oil lamp.

I waited until it was time to rest as usual and then went to rest.

After dawn, it's another closed day.

Yesterday she had asked Daya to inform suppliers not to deliver food over the next two days, so Lin Zhi was very free.

Although she still needs to provide tofu and braised food to Fumanlou, she is not needed for these things. The three little ones are enough.

When Xiao Fuzi came over, she specifically greeted Lin Zhi and comforted her with a few words before leaving.

Yesterday she was thinking about saving some money in the county town, so today, while she still had some free time, she took out her pen and ink and started writing her plan.

What to do?

Lin Zhi held the pen in his hand and pondered for a long time without moving. The ink on the pen dripped from the tip onto the rice paper.

There are many businesses that can be done, but she doesn't have much money on hand at this stage. She made very little money last month, and after deducting expenses, there were only a few taels of silver left.

This month it might be a little more. After all, she doesn't plan to buy expensive marinade ingredients anymore, so she can save fifty taels of silver.

She would use some of the fifty taels of silver to buy some cheap medicinal herbs to deceive outsiders, and she estimated that there would be a lot left.

However, she thought of the ending of the three little ones in the book, and she didn't plan to touch the money she earned from the braised food in the future, and saved it for the three little ones just in case.

According to the timeline in the book, she is now dead.

She didn't die after she traveled through time, so the scene of the tragic life experience at the beginning of the novel about the three little ones no longer existed.

She was just afraid that the will in the book would force her to die. Aren't many of the novels she read like this?

The plot of the entire book revolves around the male and female protagonists. Once it deviates from the plot, the will of the plot or the so-called law of nature will forcibly pull the plot back.

If that thing really existed, she would have to make a lot of preparations.

Anyway, the first step was to prepare money for the three little ones early, no matter if she would die suddenly or not. She didn't believe that the three little ones would live a more miserable life than described in the book.

Thinking in this way, transactions that require a large amount of capital in the early stages should be ruled out first.

Secondly, she came here to make a living by selling food, so the best business next would also be food.

The business is too diverse and she has no people and no money, so she is definitely too busy to handle it.

"What kind of business can earn more with less capital?"

Lin Zhi continued to think.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

She thought of tofu.

Isn’t the tofu business a business that requires little capital but earns a lot of money?

Tofu is not the only soy product that only requires soybeans as raw material.

Tofu is divided into southern tofu, northern tofu, rennet tofu, etc. These are all made by turning soybeans into soy milk and then solidifying it.

You can play with tofu in many different ways.

Not to mention that it is salty, fragrant and refreshing, hard but chewy. Dried tofu is a reprocessed product of tofu.

Soybean milk is made by soaking soybeans, grinding them into pulp, and then boiling them to make drinkable soy milk.

The thin film formed on the surface of soy milk after boiling, and the bean skin obtained after drying.

Dried tofu is similar to dried bean curd, but has a firmer texture and usually comes in a variety of flavors.

Bean curd sticks are a layer of oily skin that forms on the surface of heated soy milk, which becomes Bean curd sticks after drying.

Vegetarian chicken is made with tofu skin as the main ingredient, which is rolled into a round stick shape, tied tightly and cooked.

Bean sprouts are made from sprouted beans. They are rich in nutrients and have a refreshing taste.

Bean paste is a sauce made from fermented beans and is often used in cooking.

Soy sauce is a condiment made from soybeans or black beans through fermentation.

In addition, there are soy products such as fried tofu, fermented black beans, natto, and bean paste.

Lin Zhi is a man of action, he wants to do something immediately when he thinks of it.

But she doesn’t know how to make all soy products, like soy sauce.

"Da Ya!"

"Mom, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Daya hurried over.

Although her mother kept saying that she was fine, the doctor said before leaving that her mother would feel uncomfortable, dizzy and vomit, so she asked Lin Zhi to lie down and rest more.

"No, I'm not feeling unwell." Lin Zhi interrupted her hand that was about to touch her forehead and said, "Go to the grocery store now and ask the shopkeeper to send over 50 kilograms of soybeans."

"We still have a lot of soybeans at home. Are you sure you want someone to deliver them?"

They make tofu with soybeans every day, and Lin Zhi asks someone to send some extra soybeans over.

First, it can confuse the outside world and make them think that the cost of making tofu is high. After all, the price of tofu here is considered sky-high.

Secondly, it is to prepare for emergencies.

Business people fear the sudden interruption of supply the most, as that could be fatal.

"Send it." Lin Zhi answered affirmatively.

Upon hearing this, Daya went out immediately.

After Daya went out, Lin Zhi took out the soybeans at home and selected them, and put the newly delivered ones into the warehouse.

After selecting them, Lin Zhi soaked the soybeans. It was still early today, so he could try to make some soy products.

The grocery store quickly delivered soybeans. "What does Madam Lin need so many soybeans for?"

"I want to make some bean paste." Lin Zhi didn't dare to tell the truth.

Outsiders didn't know about her tofu-making career yet. They only knew that she often bought soybeans to make bean sprouts and cook them as a side dish for diners.

Around noon, Lin Zhi started making tofu, and Daya helped.

In the process of making tofu, in addition to tofu itself, you can also make a variety of other soy products at the same time, such as tofu brain, bean curd skin, dried tofu, bean curd sticks, vegetarian chicken...

Bean curd skin is formed when soy milk is heated, and a thin film is formed on the surface. Pick it up and dry it, and it is the common bean curd skin.

Bean curd sticks are made by boiling soy milk and keeping it warm. A layer of oil will form on the surface. This layer of oil is picked out and dried, and this is Bean curd sticks.

The process of making tofu pudding is the same as that of making tofu, except that during the process of soy milk and broth solidifying, the conditions can be controlled to obtain a softer and more tender tofu pudding. You can then pour your favorite sauce on the tofu pudding and eat it, which can be sweet, salty, or spicy.

Dried tofu can be made by further compressing the tofu and dehydrating it, which has a chewier texture.

Vegetarian chicken is made by rolling tofu, tying it tightly and then steaming it. It tastes similar to chicken.

The remaining tofu can also be made into fried tofu and stinky tofu. Cut the tofu into pieces and fry them to get fried tofu that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Stinky tofu can be obtained by fermenting and pickling tofu in a special way. Lin Zhi doesn't like the smell of stinky tofu, so he didn't try to make it.
