Nanshanxia

Ning Li was chatting more and more speculatively with the people of Lao Zhu's family, so he simply stayed and ate the tofu curd and red oil yuba from Lao Zhu's family. Hongyou Yuzhu talked about Zhu's second son in detail with Lao Zhu's family, "I think there is something wrong with Zhu's second-earned money recently."

Boss Zhu refilled another glass for Ning Lizheng with the jug, and continued as if chatting, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm..." Ning Lizheng paused for a while, shook his head, and then explained in a low voice: "You say he makes money, I haven't seen how hard he is, he is not like your family, every day He was busy and busy, so he would go out in the morning with a plate of tofu and return with an empty box in the evening. Within half a month after you left, his family had enough money to continue going to the academy, while Li Lanhua and He started to buy land in the village, I always feel that this is a bit strange, but I still can't tell what is wrong?"

After Zhu Yan listened to Ning Lizheng's description, he remembered the details of him and Yuan Xiao running into Zhu Er Er in the next town. Zhu Er Er was also carrying a plate of tofu, and his flustered expression made it difficult for anyone to see. I know that it is not simply selling tofu, and I wish that the second child can get a very small money bag with only one transaction with others. Even if it is full of copper plates, it is far better than selling a plate of tofu at his house. Having made a lot of money, Zhu Yan's face was serious, and he felt that there was indeed something tricky about it.

What is different from Zhu Yan is the old lady Zhu. She got up with a face of indifference and prepared to greet those old sisters who just came in, and when she left, she smiled at everyone: "Even if the second child is murdered, it has nothing to do with us." , It has nothing to do with us if we make money, we just need to keep our feet on the ground and live ourselves well, don’t think about those useless things.”

After the old lady Zhu finished speaking, Zhu Yan stopped worrying about Zhu's second child. He turned around and went into the kitchen to see if the new product had been successfully suppressed. After coughing, he said, "Yuan Xiao, what are you doing?"

"No, I didn't do anything." Yuan Xiao turned around, walked to Zhu Yan's side, looked up at Zhu Yan's cheek, and saw that the tooth marks left by his previous anger had completely disappeared, so he pulled Zhu Yan up. Yan's hand, and asked cautiously: "Ah Yan, does your face still hurt?"

Zhu Yan rubbed his face, recalling the interesting things that happened to the two of them earlier, he covered his cheek that was bitten before, and complained to Yuan Xiao in a miserable voice, "Yuan Xiao, you are getting more and more tempered now, angry I didn’t move my hands anymore, just moved my mouth, if this continues, I’m afraid I will be eaten by you one day.”

"Everyone, I didn't even dare to bite hard. I don't know that teeth marks are so easy to leave on my face." Yuan Xiao took the initiative to lean towards Zhu Yan, lowering his eyes as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head and stared at Zhu Yan with a look With a generous look, "No, how about Ah Yan leaving one on my face too!"

"Okay, that's what you said." Zhu Yan lowered his head and met Yuan Xiao's eyes, tilted his head and held Yuan Xiao's cheek, showing his teeth and was about to bite it, but he accidentally saw Yuan Xiao's tightly closed eyes And the constantly trembling eyelashes made him unable to put on any more. When his teeth touched Yuan Xiao's cheek, he turned to gently kiss it with his lips.

"Huh?" The soft touch on his face made Yuan Xiao open his eyes immediately, and he looked at Zhu Yan, "Why did it change?"

Zhu Yan rubbed Yuan Xiao's face, and said softly, "No, I don't want to bite it down, and after thinking about it for a long time, I feel that the personal grievances between the two of us can't be settled here, so why don't we settle it on the kang at night. "

Yuan Xiao understood the meaning of these words, his cheeks were burning slightly and he wanted to whisper to Zhu Yan again, but he heard Sun Yuzhu nagging Zhu Tiedan's voice at the other end, so Yuan Xiao gave up the idea.

Sun Yuzhu, who had just entered the kitchen, saw that Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao were both there, thinking that he could not disturb the couple, and subconsciously wanted to leave with her own Tie Dan, but unfortunately, her Tie Dan had already entered the kitchen with a large pot of mung bean sprouts. After leaving the kitchen, Sun Yuzhu stood at the door and stared at the back of Zhu Tiedan's head, then smiled apologetically at Yuan Xiao, followed Zhu Tiedan into the kitchen, and talked about other topics with Yuan Xiao, "Our family's The well water is as sweet as the well water in our old house before, and the bean sprouts foam very quickly, so let’s have another pot.”

"Well, then let's clean up the bean sprouts right now, anyway, this job should be done sooner and faster." Yuan Xiao lifted the black cloth covering the basin, looked at the thick mung bean sprouts inside, smiled and wished Yan said: "Ah Yan, look at how well these bean sprouts are sprouting."

"Well, it's really good." Zhu Yan went up to look at the crystal clear and tender mung bean sprouts in the eye basin, and remembered his own spring water. During the time he was injured, the water volume of the spring water was much less than before, but his arm recovered. But the speed is very fast. He guessed that the spring water should have a lot to do with his physical condition, and he will actively adjust the dosage to restore his body. Fortunately, the well water at home is still enough for a period of time. After his body recovers, The spring water should be fine as usual.

Just when Zhu Yan was silent, Sun Yuzhu found the wooden box of pressed tofu on the kitchen stove, stepped forward to take a closer look, and then said to Yuan Xiao: "Why is this wooden box of tofu here? If it’s in the way, why don’t I ask your iron egg cousin to move it away, so that it won’t take up space when we make lunch.”

"No, this thing is useful. It's A Yan's new product." Yuan Xiao stopped Sun Yuzhu in time.

Sun Yuzhu patted his mouth, leaned to the side of the tofu wooden box and looked up and down, "What kind of new product is this? Ah Yan can always make money in the things he makes, I think this should work too!"

Not only Sun Yuzhu and Yuan Xiao were curious, but even Zhu Tiedan, who was planning to leave, stopped and waited for Zhu Yan's introduction. Seeing this, Zhu Yan couldn't wait any longer, and judging by the time now, it was time to open the box It was time for inspection, so he didn't hold back. With everyone's help, he opened the tofu wooden box and took out the new product from the box.

When the new product was taken out of the box, a bean fragrance stronger than tofu wafted out, and soon filled the whole kitchen. While everyone was indulging in the rich bean fragrance, they also did not forget to look at the crushed I can't help but be full of curiosity about the new product that is made like paper and directly attached to the tofu cloth.

Yuan Xiao didn't hold back his curiosity, stepped forward to help Zhu Yan, and peeled off the paper-like tofu from the tofu cloth. At the same time, he didn't forget to ask Zhu Yan: "Ah Yan, what is this?"

"Well, I don't know what to call it now. I thought of this when I watched our family press tofu. Increase the pressure and gravity, and press the water in the tofu as hard as possible, and it becomes what it is today." Zhu Yanru As usual, I try my best to express my actions as unintentional and natural, so that everyone can believe in themselves as much as possible.

Of course, everyone is the same as before. They have 100% trust in Zhu Yan. After listening to Zhu Yan’s explanation, they began to study the name of this thing. Everyone has their own opinions on the name. There is a suggestion to call it paper tofu. , and suggested calling it Shuye Tofu, and various other strange names, Zhu Yan finally decided to call it Qianzhang by its original name.

Qianzhang is a bean product that Zhu Yan often ate before crossing. Because of its soft texture and paper shape, it has a completely different taste from the trembling water tofu. At the same time, there are various cooking methods. It can be used for stir-frying or drying. You can eat anything.

The name was decided, and everyone agreed with it. At the same time, they shared their opinions on the name, and then entered the most critical link, which is how to eat Qianzhang?

"These moist tendons are like big cakes, can we wrap them and eat them?" Although Sun Yuzhu usually doesn't pay much attention to eating, he also started to study such a rare new variety.

Yuan Xiao nodded in agreement, and then looked at Zhu Yan with flickering eyes, "Ah Yan, a thousand sheets is a large sheet, it is very convenient to shred and slice, and it should be paired with other dishes!"

It has to be said that Yuan Xiao's thoughts coincided with his own. Zhu Yan picked up a thousand sheets and asked Yuan Xiao to help shred them, and asked other people present to help him prepare other ingredients.

This time, what Zhu Yan is going to do is boil thousands of sheets. The most important material for boiling thousands of sheets is meat slices. The cut meat slices are marinated with starch and salt for a period of time.

Heat the oil in the pot, add star anise, cinnamon, ginger, garlic and sun-dried red pepper, fry the red oil, pour it into a bowl and let it stand, then pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, put in the previously prepared meat slices and thousands of shreds and cook After a while, put the previously blanched bean sprouts into the pot, blend in the aroma of meat and beans, put them out of the pot together, and pour the red oil sauce prepared before.

Eating boiled vegetables in winter can always easily capture people's taste buds. The tenacious Qianzhang is paired with fresh and fragrant meat slices and crisp and refreshing bean sprouts, adding the umami taste of meat slices and the fragrance of bean sprouts, plus spicy red oil The infiltration of the soup is full of spicy and delicious fragrance, which makes people love it.

With the new dish of boiled thousand sheets, the lunch at Lao Zhu's house was quite lively. After eating, the old lady Zhu proposed to Zhu Yan: "Ah Yan, these thousand sheets should be sold like tofu. Get out, we have to do more."

Zhu Yan was about to agree to the old lady Zhu's proposal, but he noticed another big problem in the family, that is, the amount of beans stored in his family. If they continue to make soy products in the future, the beans at home may not be able to last until the spring beans are planted. Zhu Yan sighed After taking a breath, he said: "If we continue to do it, I am afraid we will need more beans, then..."

The old lady Zhu noticed the sadness on Zhu Yan's face, interrupted Zhu Yan in a hurry, and said to herself: "You don't have to worry about it. When Ning Li was leaving just now, he told me that many people in our village have leftovers. They can’t eat beans, so it’s better to let us take them, and I think it’s good, anyway, it costs money, so it’s better to let the folks we know earn the money.”

With Madam Zhu's words, Zhu Yan also had an idea. The next day, he took Yuan Xiao and his uncle to Jinsha Village to collect the beans.

The weather has been cold recently, if Yuan Xiao hadn't insisted on following, Zhu Yan would have been reluctant to let Yuan Xiao follow him out. He covered Yuan Xiao tightly, and stood at the entrance of the village talking about the price of beans with other villagers.

The folks in Jinsha Village know that Lao Zhu’s family has made a fortune from tofu now, and the shop is already well-known in the town. They are even more enthusiastic about Zhu Yan. Some villagers show Zhu Yan the best beans from their homes. , "Zhujia boy, look at my beans are big and plump without a single worm eye, do you think it's okay?"

Zhu Yan took the beans handed over by the folks with one hand, looked at them casually, and asked Yuan Xiao and Boss Zhu to look at them. Seeing the two nodding, he smiled and said: "The beans are not bad, our family has them. Now you can weigh and calculate the silver with my husband!"

Seeing that someone got money, the other villagers stopped watching. They all came forward with their own beans and asked Zhu Yan to inspect them. They sold the beans and got money. The land is covered by snow, and the villagers who don't farm the land have no source of money. Now that Lao Zhu's family comes to collect beans, it really gives them a good chance to make money.

Many folks who had tasted the sweetness began to publicize it in the village, causing many people who didn't know the news to follow to the entrance of the village to watch the excitement, including Li Lanhua who was bragging about her family background with other women at the door of her house .

After Li Lanhua heard the news, she ran to the entrance of the village. She stood far away in the dark, observing Zhu Yan and the others' every move. When she saw Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao's clothes from a distance, she felt dissatisfied. , because judging from Zhu Yan's clothes, they know that they are living a very comfortable life now, and looking at the richness of Zhu's boss when he took the money, he knows that her family is still not as good as the old Zhu's.

After making the comparison, Li Lanhua was about to leave quietly when she bumped into the neighbor's new granddaughter-in-law. This new granddaughter-in-law married into the neighbor's house after Zhu Yan and the others left, so she didn't know about Li Lanhua's holiday with Zhu Yan.

I saw the new granddaughter-in-law of the neighbor's family got the money and walked towards Li Lanhua with a smile, and said hello, "Miss Lanhua, are you here to sell beans too? This old wishing the family is very beneficial. You pay the money when you receive the beans, and you never pay on credit. go quickly!"

In fact, Li Lanhua also wants to sell beans. After all, there are a lot of beans at home, and I usually don’t meet beans collectors. Now that I have this opportunity, everyone wants to go up and try it. Even if her family is rich, she can imagine Others earn a little more, but she knows that if she sells beans at the entrance of the village, not only will Zhu Yan not accept them, but she will most likely humiliate herself, which makes Li Lanhua very worried.

But when Li Lanhua saw the neighbor's granddaughter-in-law who didn't know her background at all and was stubborn, she immediately had an idea in her mind, and she took the neighbor's granddaughter-in-law's hand and walked towards her house.
