My delicate husband

The Li family's house was dried in the shade, and the whole family moved into the new blue brick and tile house.

The two brothers Li Jia and Li Yi also came to visit Lan An specially to thank him, and gave him all the cash they could find in their home.

"Anger, our family is truly grateful to you. We'll pay you back these first, and we'll pay you back the rest later."

The two brothers kowtowed three times to Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo. Lan An asked Zhang Xiaomo to help the man up. Lan An accepted the silver and money. The two brothers went home without staying.

The Li family’s house can be demolished and a new one can be rebuilt, and Lan Euan will be handed over to Brother Kong and Brother Xu.

The house of Brother Xie and Zhu the bricklayer has been completed. When Brother Xie learned that Lan An was going to build a house, he took the initiative to help. He didn't want any wages, but just wanted a few more jars of Bamboo Leaf Green.

"Brother An, you must still have that wine, right? Give me two jars."

"Thank you, brother. I really don't have much left."

"Oh, little brother An, you're the best."

Lan An really couldn't stand a big man like Brother Xie acting like a spoiled child in front of him. Zhang Xiaomo was also a little jealous, so he just held Lan An in his arms and silently licked the soft flesh on the back of Lan An's neck.

Lan An was teased by Zhang Xiaomo until her whole body became weak, but Brother Xie still acted like a spoiled child and made trouble.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll give you three more jars. I really don't have any more."

Brother Xia immediately stopped playing and sat on the chair, waiting obediently.

Lan An took out three jars of Bamboo Leaf Green in a short while. As soon as he handed them to Brother Xie, Brother Xie took them home, fearing that Lan An would regret it if he was late. He almost bumped into Brother Han who was coming towards him.

"Brother Xie, what's wrong? Why are you running so fast?"

"There's a dog chasing him."

"Master, you are joking, Xiao Hui is very well behaved and doesn't bite anyone."

Xiao Hui sat in the hall and raised his dog head to look at Zhang Xiaomo. Forget it, I can't afford to offend him, so I'll just take the blame.

Lan An just glared at Zhang Xiaomo, not knowing who was the dog. There must be plum blossoms on the back of his neck, and he would also plant plum blossoms all over Zhang Xiaomo's collarbone later.

"Brother Han, what brings you here in such a hurry?"

"Young Master, the beans in the field are ripe. I think they can be harvested in two days. Have we harvested the beans in the village yet?"

"Take it, ten cents a pound."

"Little Master, what's the use of these beans?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Anyway, it's delicious."

If Lan Euan hadn't said anything, no one in the Zhang family would have known what the beans were for no matter how hard they tried. But since the young master said they could be made into something delicious, then they must be delicious.

The people of Lianhua Village watched as the blue gums were planted with beans, so they also planted beans on their remaining wasteland, but they didn't take as much care of them. However, the yield was still higher than before.

When the villagers learned that the beans from blue eucalyptus were sold at ten cents per pound, they felt a little regretful. They should have been more careful at the beginning. Now they have lost a lot of money.

The beans were harvested within two days. Fortunately, we had a flail, so we didn't have to shell them one by one, which greatly improved efficiency.

"Little Boss, can we put it directly into the warehouse after drying?"

"Brother Han, please set aside about 20 pounds and pick out the bad beans. I can use them."

"An An is going to make new food?"

“Some ideas, try them out.”

When the Zhang family heard that beans were going to be used to make food, they were all very enthusiastic. They put down their work and started helping to pick the beans.

"Why are you all picking beans?"

"Aren't you looking forward to the food made by the young master?"

"Okay, clean it up and soak it in water overnight. Remember to clean the stone mill at home."

Lan'an has also made up his mind to make some tofu tomorrow. Although he doesn't like drinking soy milk very much, it would be nice to add more sugar. The key is that tofu can be used to make many new dishes.

The next day, Lan'an got up early, and Zhang Xiaomo woke up as soon as Lan'an moved.

"An An, why did you wake up so early today?"

"Brother Xiaomo, you forgot, I want to make new food today."

"There's no rush."

"Who said that? How can I drink soy milk so late?"

Zhang Xiaomo rarely saw Lan An so anxious, so he deliberately teased Lan An and prevented him from getting up.

"Brother Xiaomo, why are you still holding me?"

"Sleep a little longer, An An, my dear. Your husband is sleepy."

"No, let me get up first."

"Has An An changed her mind? She doesn't even want to sleep with her husband."

"I do not have."

"Then sleep a little longer?"

"Okay, sleep for another quarter of an hour."

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xiaomo was still unwilling to get up and held Lan An tightly in his arms. Lan An had no choice but to act coquettishly, kissing and hugging him. Only after being bullied until his eyes were red did he get up successfully.

After breakfast, Lan An asked Aunt Li to wash the beans. Brother Kong and Brother Xu cleaned the stone mill early in the morning and were waiting for Lan An to get up.

"It's cleaned, little master, what should we do next?"

“Grind the beans into a pulp.”

The Zhang family are all young and strong men. In a short while, more than 20 pounds of beans were ground into pulp.

Aunt Li filtered the ground soy milk with gauze to obtain fine soy milk.

After the pot is cleaned, pour the soy milk into the pot and boil it. Skim off the foam on the top and you will get the soy milk that can be used.

"Do you drink soy milk? You can drink it with more brown sugar."

Everyone in the Zhang family is also interested in this soy milk. It tastes good with brown sugar added, but it is not as delicious as milk tea.

Put the cooked soy milk into a clean wooden barrel, add an appropriate amount of gypsum water, stir evenly, and let it stand for a while until the soy milk solidifies.

"Anger, don't worry about this?"

"Well, just wait a few hours and you can eat tofu pudding. Then you can use a mold to press it and it will become tofu."

Brother Man also made several square molds according to Lan Euan's requirements.

Everyone in the Zhang family went about their own business, waiting to see the tofu pudding and bean curd that Lan An was talking about.

Before dinner, everyone in the Zhang family also tried the tofu pudding prepared by Lan Euan. It was smooth and tender, and tasted really good. It was delicious with the addition of sugar.

"Brother Xiaomo, how does it taste?"

"An An, I like it very much."

"After a while, when the weather gets hot, putting ice in the well will make it taste even better."

"An An, you can't be greedy for coolness."

Everyone in the Zhang family was very satisfied with the tofu pudding. Lan An was not stingy and asked Brother Han to pack a few more portions and send them to the villagers with whom he had a good relationship.

"Little Boss, are you selling this tofu pudding?"

"I'm not selling it. I'll just eat it at home. I'll sell the tofu at the rice shop. I'll deliver it every two days. I'll leave it to you and Brother Man."

"Don't worry, leave everything to me, little boss."

Brother Han is now very skilled in doing business. After all, all the crops in the fields are sold by Brother Han. Lan An originally trained them so that he could be a hands-off boss and live a good life with Zhang Xiaomo.

(By the way, do you prefer salty tofu pudding or sweet tofu pudding?)

The tofu was ready, and Lan An rarely cooked it herself. Although Zhang Xiaomo was worried, Lan An begged him to make something delicious, so he softened his heart and agreed.

Lan Euan also prepared a tofu feast, including Hakka stuffed tofu, mapo tofu, minced meat and tofu stew, home-cooked vegetable stewed tofu, fried tofu, and cold tofu.

Everyone in the Zhang family was very satisfied with the meal. They never thought that tofu could be eaten in so many ways, just like potatoes. From now on, everyone in the Zhang family has another favorite in their hearts.

Lan An also sent the finished tofu to the villagers with whom he had a good relationship. Everyone liked it very much, and other villagers also wanted to try this legendary tofu.

It just so happened that he was going to the county town to sell tofu, and he asked Aunt Li to make more every day and leave a small portion to sell in the village. A large piece of tofu only cost two cents, and only thirty portions were sold in the village every day. Basically, they were sold out as soon as they started selling. For this reason, there were villagers lining up at the gate of Zhang's courtyard early every morning.

In order not to disturb Lan'an's sleep, Aunt Li set up her sales stall at the gate of Zhang's side yard, and the villagers also consciously kept quiet.
