"How is it?" Zhu Yan held the bowl and stared at Yuan Xiao who was chewing food non-stop at the moment, with a smile on his face.

While chewing the food in his mouth, Yuan Xiao nodded along with Zhu Yan, "Ah Yan, this food is very interesting to chew, I think it is very delicious!"

"I also think it's delicious, why don't we make more and let Grandma and the others taste it?" Zhu Yan continued to seduce Yuan Xiao, and when Yuan Xiao agreed, he proposed, "If Grandma likes this too, Let's try it in town!"

"Yeah! But..." Yuan Xiao was in trouble again halfway through his words, his fair face was a little dazed, "But how can we make a lot of this?"

Seeing this, Zhu Yan also showed a embarrassed look, "This is a difficult problem. I only know that the thing is soybean milk skin. If it is left in the air, it becomes what we eat. I don't know how to make more of it. .”

Seeing that Zhu Yan was in trouble, Yuan Xiao also became anxious, and began to think about the method of yuba. He looked at the water in the pot and remembered what Zhu Yan said just now. The sadness on his face gradually disappeared. He grabbed Zhu Yan's hand, "Ah Yan, you told me just now that this thing is formed by drying the soy milk skin. We can boil a pot of soy milk and boil it repeatedly to make the skin come out, so that we can make more soy milk skin!"

I have to say that Yuan Xiao's mind is still very flexible. Every time Zhu Yan deliberately instructed him, he would be able to go on the road smoothly and complete all tasks. Zhu Yan really loves his precious husband to death.

With Yuan Xiao's words, Zhu Yan no longer hesitated, and started to take out the leftover beans that had been soaked in the morning, and prepared to go into the workshop to grind tofu, but just after he left the kitchen, Zhu Yan realized that the house was full of silence. Quietly, not in line with the old Zhu's style at all, he put beans in the mill and asked Yuan Xiao, "Yuan Xiao, where did Grandma and the others go?"

"Grandma took my aunt and cousin Tiedan up the mountain, and said that today is warm, and they went to the mountain to pick up some fungus and other mountain goods." Yuan Xiao followed behind Zhu Yan, ready to step forward to help at any time.

Seeing Yuan Xiao following him like a little tail, Zhu Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and continued to do his own thing, letting Yuan Xiao follow behind him.

Because there was a little donkey at home to pull the mill, it was convenient and labor-saving to grind the beans at home. After a while, the beans were ground well. Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao began to follow the previous routine, removing dregs and filtering the soybean milk.

Then I started to cook soybean milk in a large pot at home. After the soybean milk was cooked, I had to control the heat, change the rapid fire to a slow fire, and wait for it to cool the conjunctiva. When the skin of the soybean milk reached a certain thickness, I picked it up with bamboo chopsticks and dried it. That's it, and so on.

"Yuan Xiao, come and wipe off your sweat." After Zhu Yan finished his busy work, he found that his own Yuan Xiao was staring at the bean curd sticks drying on the bamboo pole in a daze. He fetched a basin of water and twisted a wet handkerchief for Yuan Xiao , handed it to Yuan Xiao, and asked Yuan Xiao to wipe off his sweat.

Yuan Xiao took the veil, spread the veil flat with both hands, put it on his face and wiped it carefully, after wiping it, he noticed that Zhu Yan was looking at him, squinted his eyes and smiled hurriedly, "Ah Yan, I see We don't sell this thing here, our family is the only one, shouldn't we give this thing a name?"

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Yan thought about a lot of names, but still felt that the name yuba sounded more pleasing to the ear, so he looked at the yuba on the bamboo pole in silence for a moment, and said to himself: "After this thing dries, it will Straight and straight like bamboo."

"Tofu and bamboo?" Yuan Xiao followed Zhu Yan's words and began to think, then shook his head before Zhu Yan spoke, "It seems a bit unpleasant."

"Why don't we just call it Yuzhu!"

"This name sounds good, so it's called Yuzhu!" Yuan Xiao is a proper husband control. No matter what Zhu Yan does or says, he thinks it is right and will try his best to defend it. In his opinion, his There is only one and only Zhu Yan in his life. If he doesn't want to protect him, can he give it to others?

In this way, the bean curd stick was born. Because of the cool and windy autumn weather, the bean curd stick has been dried and formed in a short time, and then it enters the foaming process.

The foaming process of bean curd sticks is not like its drying process, which takes a long time. During this period of time, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao carefully tidied up their common room, because in a few days, they will be They are going to get married, and there will definitely be a lot of things to be busy at that time, so it is better to take advantage of the free time now to tidy up.

After the room was tidied up, the old lady Zhu and the others also came back from the mountain. At the same time, the old man Zhu also led Chunya and Boss Zhu back together. The originally quiet courtyard became lively again.

"Ah Yan, what is that ugly thing hanging on the bamboo pole in the yard?" The old lady Zhu couldn't hold back her curiosity, and looked around the bamboo pole in the yard for a long time, but she still couldn't understand. Identify what the ugly thing hanging on the bamboo pole is.

After hearing the old lady Zhu's description of the yuba, Zhu Yan couldn't hold back a chuckle, then took Yuan Xiao's hand to the front of the bamboo pole, and explained to himself, "Grandma, this thing is what cousin Chunya said in the morning. The soybean milk skin we ate, after it was dried, we found that it was still edible, and it tasted better than before, so we made a lot more, and I don’t think there is any business in our town, so I want to take this thing Try your luck."

"Well, I haven't seen this thing before, but Ah Yan said it's delicious, so it's delicious. You two can do whatever you want, and your family supports it." Although the old lady Zhu hadn't eaten bean curd sticks yet, she thought of her own The grandson placed high hopes on the ugly thing in front of him, so he no longer disliked the dry and ugly thing.

With the support of the old lady Zhu, Zhu Yan became more motivated, and he took Yuan Xiao into the kitchen again. Regarding the method of yuba, Zhu Yan hadn't mentioned it yet, and he just pretended to know nothing about it. Inspired Yuan Xiao by the side, and the two of them completed it together, so that no one would think too much.

Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao studied in the kitchen for a long time, and finally made a dish of red oil yuba. The red oil in the red oil yuba is made of chili noodles and cooked sesame seeds fried in raw oil in a pot.

Then mix the yuba that has been blanched in hot water with carrots and fungus with salt, and then pour the freshly fried red oil, and a red oil yuba with good color, fragrance and taste is completed.

When it was time for dinner, Zhu Yan asked Yuan Xiao to bring the long-awaited red bean curd stick to the dining table. As soon as it was brought to the dining table, everyone's attention was on the bean curd stick in the center of the dining table. The bean dregs tortillas that everyone has been tossing about are no longer cared about.

"Ah Yan, this bar looks a little better than before. Is it what you prepared to eat today?" The old lady Zhu carefully sniffed the scent of pepper, and couldn't help looking forward to the food in front of her.

Zhu Yan saw the yearning of the old lady Zhu, got up and picked up a chopsticks of red oil yuba for the old lady Zhu, and took the opportunity to introduce to the old lady Zhu and everyone, "This dish was researched by Yuan Xiao and I together. Call it red oil yuba, and the strips you see are the food I made with soy milk skins, we call it yuba, everyone can come and taste it.”

The old lady Zhu picked up the bean curd stick that her grandson made for herself, and stuffed it into her mouth without even thinking about it, but the moment the bean curd stick entered the mouth, the old lady Zhu's serious face in the past immediately smiled.

The other members of Old Zhu’s family had the same expression as Mrs. Zhu. Now everyone has no mood to talk, and everyone is eating, especially Mrs. Zhu. She took bite after bite and accidentally ate a piece of chili , Only then came back to his senses, and said happily to Zhu Yan: "Ah Yan, although this bean curd stick doesn't look good, it tastes unique and delicious. If you sell it in the town, it will definitely fetch a good price!"

"With Grandma's words, I'm relieved. We don't have enough yuba to set up a stall in our family. It's better to go to the restaurant in the town to test the water." After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he began to pick up vegetables for Yuan Xiao. , when Yuan Xiao reminded himself to eat vegetables, he began to pick up vegetables for himself. During the process of picking up vegetables, he was still thinking about which restaurant to take the bean curd sticks to tomorrow.

Finally, after Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao's joint discussion, they still went to Meimeixuan, because Meimeixuan is their long-term partner, and Chang's shopkeeper is also very good character. Pick and choose, just from this point of view, giving them the yuba to Meimeixuan has become the best choice at present.

On this day, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao went to Meimeixuan with tofu and yuba. As soon as they came in, the regular shopkeeper of Meimeixuan walked over, "Brother Zhu, please come into the room quickly, I can I haven't seen you and your husband for a while."

Because the bean curd business at home is too busy on weekdays, the errand of delivering tofu falls to Zhu Boss. Zhu Yan seldom comes to Meimeixuan, but now it surprises the regular shopkeeper of Meimeixuan.

Zhu Yan cupped his hands at Shopkeeper Chang, and said pleasantly, "Recently, I have something to do at home, so I seldom come to Meimeixuan. No wonder Shopkeeper Chang."

"No wonder, no wonder, everyone is busy these days." Shopkeeper Chang asked Xiao Er to take the tofu that Zhu Yan brought over, and when he saw Zhu Yan unloaded the basket from behind, he looked at Zhu Yan again, " Brother Zhu, but did you find something good again?"

Seeing that shopkeeper Chang found out, Zhu Yan smiled heartily, took out both the foamed and unfoamed yuba from the back basket, and said straight to the point: "This is called yuba. My husband and I discovered it by accident while making tofu. Yes, I found that this food is still very delicious, so I thought of giving some to Shopkeeper Chang to have a taste."

With the basis of buying and selling tofu before, shopkeeper Chang still trusts Zhu Yan very much, so when Zhu Yan mentioned this strange food yuba, he did not hesitate too much, but chose to trust Zhu Yan, took a bite of Zhu Yanzao I ate the red oil yuba finished product before, and after eating this bite, the shopkeeper Chang became energetic, and he praised in a very surprised tone: "Although this thing looks ordinary, But as soon as I put it in my mouth, I knew that this thing was by no means an ordinary thing, and the texture was firm and smooth, which was really delicious, and what I didn't expect was that this thing also came from soybeans."

From Shopkeeper Chang's smiling face, Zhu Yan knew that there was great hope this time, so he continued to introduce: "Shopkeeper Chang, these things are like mushrooms and fungus, if they are kept dry and stored properly, It can be kept for a long time, and when you want to eat it, just soak it in cold water for two or three hours, which is very convenient and tastes good.”

"Well, this... Yuba, it's very suitable for those of us who open restaurants. Now that autumn is coming, I'm still thinking about how to add some new dishes. You brought this good thing here. It's a timely rain Ah!" Chang shopkeeper has been looking at the remaining yuba in Zhu Yan's hand since he ate the yuba. How to sell it?"

Shopkeeper Chang cut to the chase, and Zhu Yan didn't beat around the bush. He said directly to Shopkeeper Chang, "The workmanship of yuba is more cumbersome and tiring than making tofu. It takes us a long morning to collect a bundle of yuba, so We ask for ten Wen a catty, what does Shopkeeper Chang think?"

The asking price of ten cents per catty was a bit expensive when I first heard it, but when shopkeeper Chang saw the plate of red oiled bean curd sticks in Zhu Yan's hand, he still couldn't hold back his inner longing, and nodded his head as well. Another plan came out, "OK, then ten cents a catty, but besides yuba, I also want to buy your recipe of red oil yuba."

"This..." Zhu Yan looked a little hesitant, because he still wanted to sell the red oil yuba at his own stall, but he didn't want to be favored by shopkeeper Chang.

Shopkeeper Chang was keenly aware that Zhu Yan was a little reluctant, and his obsession with red oil yuba had deepened a lot. He gritted his teeth and raised the price for the prescription, "50 taels."

Facing the sudden huge sum of money, Zhu Yan was stunned. His brain began to calculate disobediently. Even if he and his family sold bean curds and yuba every day, they would have to struggle for several years to save so much money. In addition to oiled yuba, he can also use yuba to make other dishes and sell them at the stall.

Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao exchanged glances, and he nodded in response, "Sure, I'll write down the recipe right now, and make another plate for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yan started cooking in the kitchen, and when he was making the red oil yuba, he presented another spicy tofu that he and Yuan Xiao often made. After all, a dish costs 50 taels, so Zhu Yan Still feel a little sorry.

After the dishes were ready, Zhu Yan signed a contract with shopkeeper Chang about the recipes and bean curd sticks, and then he took the money and took Yuan Xiao out of Yipinxuan.

It was almost noon when I walked out of Yipinxuan. Ever since Zhu Yan handed over the money to Yuan Xiao for safekeeping, Yuan Xiao held the money bag in his arms, like a small animal protecting food, always cautious of passers-by, Zhu Yan Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Yuan Xiao, take it easy, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Yuan Xiao ignored Zhu Yan, just took a look at Zhu Yan, and when Zhu Yan was about to laugh at himself again, he took the initiative to say: "This is the money you earned, how can I not take good care of it, I will feel bad if I lose it of."

After listening to Yuan Xiao's words, Zhu Yan retracted the joke he was about to say. He looked at the blue sky, intertwined his fingers with Yuan Xiao, and pulled Yuan Xiao to the Zhenbaozhai opposite, "Let's go, let's go!" Let's go to Zhenbaozhai to have a look."

The author has something to say: Thanks to my friend mint, the nutrient solution 23333 with two layers of small belly for feeding us is 23333 per person.

Zhu Yan: Thanks to everyone's help, I will get married tomorrow.

Yuan Xiao: Everyone, try harder to let me give birth to a little Yuanxiao (shy ing)
