Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.
Chapter 47: Fairy Tofu
In the end, it will be more reassuring for our own people to use it. They know the product is good, so they will naturally protect it.
It's a sure-fire, profitable business; there's nothing to be reluctant about.
"Oh, thank you so much, Xiao Banxia." The women all smiled happily.
"Sister-in-law, did you make the wood ash water I asked you to burn this morning?" Yu Banxia asked her sister-in-law, who was all smiles, as she listened to everyone's thanks.
Wu Zhuxiang quickly replied, "It's all done and cooling down there. I filtered it several times, so it's already very clean."
"okay."
“Aunties, now we need to knead these leaves into a paste and then wash them in water to extract the juice.” Yu Banxia then began to demonstrate.
They took out a lot of gauze bags, and everyone quickly learned how to make them.
Zhao and the others also came forward to help. Amidst their laughter and chatter, the task was quickly completed. Yu Banxia poured the clean, boiled wood ash water into each wooden basin.
"Auntie, stir it quickly."
"Okay, sure." The aunt in front of me quickly stirred it with a wooden stick.
Before long, all ten-plus bowls of "fairy tofu" were ready.
"Is that all? What are these leaf juices and wood ash water for?" Aunt Mei couldn't help but ask.
"You'll know in half an incense stick's time," Yu Banxia said, speaking in riddles.
She went back to her room and soon returned with some melon seeds.
Everyone looked on curiously, and Zhao was even more astonished: "Oh, you still have sunflower seeds from the New Year? They smell so good..."
"How come these melon seeds are so plump?" another woman asked curiously.
Yu Banxia then shifted the blame to the Qian family: "This was sent by my father Qian the other day. I cooked it yesterday when I had nothing else to do, and then I stir-fried it. This is five-spice flavored. Please, ladies and aunts, have a taste."
"So it was sent by a wealthy man. No wonder these melon seeds are so plump."
"It smells delicious!" Everyone stepped forward, grabbed a handful, and started eating. It was fragrant and crispy, with an excellent texture.
Yu Banxia poured tea for everyone again: "These spiced teas can make your mouth dry. In winter, our workshop can sell melon seeds for a good price."
“Xiao Banxia, you are now the person in charge of our village. You say what to do, and we will do it.”
Zhao said with a smile.
The others quickly chimed in, "That's right, Xiao Banxia, you're in charge now. Whatever you say we do, we'll do it. We'll follow you."
"I'll let everyone try another delicious dish later. Mother, sister-in-law, you two chat while I go make some things we'll need later."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately realized that this was a secret recipe that couldn't be shared with others.
Several women kindly tried to help, but were stopped. Yu Banyue followed them inside.
The others immediately realized that they probably couldn't let them know, so they didn't insist and went outside to drink tea and eat melon seeds.
Once the seasonings are ready, the "Immortal Tofu" will be almost done.
Yu Banxia took a kitchen knife and went outside, cutting the "Immortal Tofu" into pieces the size of tofu.
Then he picked up a piece and went back to the kitchen, and soon brought out the prepared "fairy tofu".
"Come on, ladies, lend a hand." Yu Banxia smiled at everyone. Her kitchen was quite big, and several ladies went to help cut the tofu.
Yu Banxia and Yu Banyue were putting out the seasonings, and soon they ran out of bowls.
"I'll go back and get it."
"I'll go back and get it too." Yu Meihua and the others ran out quickly, and soon they all ran back.
Yu Banxia said, "We made quite a lot today. Let's eat first, and then we'll take the rest to the workshop to share with everyone."
Yu Baishun had already retrieved the land deed for the workshop that morning, and everyone unanimously decided to place the workshop under Yu Banxia's name.
We don't usually go to that area, and since it's summer and the grass is growing really tall, the men all went there to pull weeds.
"It's delicious, bitter, but it tastes very pleasant." An older woman took a bite and found it to be sour, spicy, and a little bitter, but delicious.
"These leaves are good for your health if you eat them regularly. They have a cooling and detoxifying effect, and long-term consumption can improve your complexion and detoxify your body."
Yu Banxia smiled and explained the benefits to everyone. Upon hearing this, the women immediately said, "Let's go pick some again tomorrow."
"Should we sell this 'fairy tofu'?" Aunt Mei and Zhao had this thought in mind.
Yu Banxia nodded and said, "We'll sell it, but we'll put it in my sister-in-law's restaurant. Once it becomes popular, we'll turn the juice into powder, collect it, and make another profit when summer is over and autumn comes."
"It can also be made into powder?"
"Well, the 'fairy tofu' isn't something that lasts forever. It will definitely be discovered soon and can't be hidden anymore. But after summer, it will be difficult to eat it."
Banxia analyzed astutely.
Everyone nodded in agreement; indeed, youthful minds are indeed superior.
They only see the immediate profit; once this stuff is turned into powder, it can be sold outside.
They quickly finished eating, cut all the tofu in half, poured out the water, and then put the tofu in a clean bowl.
Yu Banxia prepared the seasonings and poured them into the mixture. Before long, four large bowls of "Immortal Tofu" were ready.
The other women carried bowls and chopsticks in baskets, while Erniu and the other five helped carry the wooden basin toward the workshop.
"These young men are quite good. I heard they've come to learn swordsmanship from your Xiaxia," Aunt Mei said to Fan Cuilan, while helping to hold Xia Lian's hand.
Fan Cuilan smiled and relayed what Erniu and the others had said to the others: "I don't know either, but they said it was true, before..."
Erniu and the others felt embarrassed when they heard the women praising them.
“Miss Yu, we brothers used to be a bit of a hoodlum, but from now on we’ll follow you. You tell us what to do, and we’ll do it.”
Erniu said earnestly.
Yu Banxia was short-handed, so naturally she wouldn't push people away.
"Then I'll start helping with weeding tomorrow. My family is also adding a kitchen later. Do you know how to build a house? If not, you can help out."
Erniu and his friends were a little embarrassed. They were all idle and didn't know anything about building houses.
"Miss Yu, let's help out."
"Haha, young man, keep up the good work, you'll learn eventually." A group of women laughed and encouraged them.
Erniu and the others nodded repeatedly, saying they would definitely study hard.
"Come and eat the delicious food made by Xiao Banxia!" Zhao called out, and the busy people immediately looked up as they carried the food over.
They all rushed out, but Zhao quickly stopped them: "Go wash your hands and pat off the mud so you don't get it in the food."
"Hey, good."
After washing their hands and patting themselves down, they lined up to receive their treats, with Erniu and the others helping out.
"It's delicious, sour and spicy, and a little bitter. Xia girl, what is this?" an uncle asked curiously.
Yu Meihua exclaimed excitedly, "Uncle, I know, I know! Banxia said this is fairy tofu!"
