Chapter 112
Chapter 112 - Tofu
Lin Yuxing raised his eyebrows, but after thinking about it, they were indeed dressed in clothes from the countryside, “So what if I am from the countryside? Ah Tian… “
After Xiang Tian heard this, he walked towards this person, intending to search him.
“Stop! I am my brother! ” This person was short and was dressed like a kid. Seeing that Xiang Tian dared to come over, he shouted loudly.
At this time, there were a lot of people around, and their eyes were filled with confusion. Lin Yuxing did not waste any words, “Brother? I don't care if you're a brother or a brat, but you have to return the money bag to me! “
If it were anyone else, they would have done the deed. If it was someone from the countryside who had been robbed of silver, it would have taken their lives.
This person shouldn't have just been aiming at the poor.
The thief did not expect Lin Yuxing to be so stingy with his fried rice and salt, but just as he was about to pour the dirty water on him, Lin Yuxing had already brought back his money bag, “Send it to the authorities!” Lin Yuxing did not waste time with words, for a person like this would only harm the citizens of one side if he was let go.
The other bystanders also knew that this person was a thief, so they naturally agreed to send him to the government. When the bailiff saw him, he immediately nodded his head to show that he knew and then dragged him into the cell.
This was a small matter. Xiang Tian and his husband and Yue Yang had gone home after settling this issue, and as for the final outcome of the thief, it was a punishment for his wrongdoings, it had nothing to do with anyone else.
When he returned home, it was already evening, but Lin Yang and the others had already finished cooking, which made Lin Yuxing feel a little apologetic.
“Ah Tian, Yu, has everything been settled?” Seeing their expressions, Lin Yang knew that everything had been settled, but he still had to ask.
Lin Yuxing smiled and nodded, “Mn, let's start to make tofu. In the future, you and Chen can also send the tofu to the town's Fun Boite.” Of course, he would definitely have to escort her the first time.
The Limitless Sword Arts had already been delivered by the dad and the rest, and the soybeans had been soaked in water for an entire night, so they could officially begin their work. To grind the beans into soy milk, this work was naturally done by Xiang Tian, even though he was thin and weak, he actually still had some strength, so after soaking the ground bean milk in boiling water, they would use gauze to filter out the bean dregs.
After that, Lin Yuxing and the others placed the filtered soy milk into a wooden bucket and started to boil it. After the cooked soy milk cooled down to a certain temperature, they would use gypsum water to get some ointment, and after the tofu flower began to precipitate, the settled tofu flowers would be packed into boxes and filtered with gauze. Then, they would fold the boxes one by one and use the jack to squeeze the water in the tofu.
Although this method was already told to Lin Yang and the others, they still needed Lin Yuxing to slowly experiment when they really had to. In the end, when they saw the fresh and tender tofu, they could not help but drool.
Previously, Lin Yuxing had already fed them soy milk and tofu flowers, and sprinkled some white sugar into the tofu flowers or tofu milk. That kind of delicacy was something that Lin Yang and the others had never tasted before, so they did not know what taste the tofu was.
“Wait until the Fun Boite. I'll demonstrate it to the shopkeeper a few more times. The tofu that we need to eat has already been left behind. We'll have a large meal of tofu at noon.” Lin Yuxing purposely kept him in suspense, a smile flashing across his eyes. Even if he didn't sleep all night, it didn't affect his excited mood.
“Send some to dad.” At this time, he said to the sky, going to the town would also require them to pass through Lin Village.
“Why not have lunch at dad's place?” At this time, Lin Yang suggested.
Thus, the few of them worked together to use the special tools to transport the tofu onto the ox-cart, and then sent it to Fun Boite.
The owner of the Fun Boite had told him a long time ago that if Lin Yuxing came here, he would have to notify him immediately.
As a result, when Lin Yuxing arrived at the door, the owner of the Fun Boite was already standing there smiling. Back then, Lin Yuxing's method of supplying the pig's water had caused him to get closer to his boss and even allowed him to continue working hard. This made him extremely happy, and that was why he was especially interested in the tofu that his teacher was talking about.
When Lin Yuxing saw him, he was a little surprised, “Innkeeper.” Actually, they hadn't done business for a long time, so they naturally weren't very familiar with each other.
“Yu, why are you being so courteous to Uncle? Ah Tian, do you think so?” Compared to Lin Yuxing, the shopkeeper wanted to deal with Xiang Tian more.
Xiang Tian laughed in an honest manner, but didn't say anything.
“Tsk tsk …” Ah Tian, you have been taught badly by the Yu. ” The shopkeeper said with a smile. Sometimes, it was necessary to get close to him.
“Look at what Uncle said, it is as if I am a villain, my Ah Tian is honest, with just a few words he could have sold himself, I really want to watch and see.” Lin Yuxing said as he blinked his eyes.
“Brother, look at your man. His face is red.” The shopkeeper was very happy as well. Looking at the rows and rows of items on the ox-cart, his heart was moved, “Yu, is this tofu?” If their Fun Boite increased by new dishes again, then their business would definitely rise day by day.
Lin Yuxing nodded after hearing this sentence, “That's right, I'll show you a few dishes, but I think the price is …” He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and he said, “As long as the taste is good, the price is fine.” He was really looking forward to see what kind of surprise Yu Lin could give him.
With the shopkeeper's words, the boulder in Lin Yuxing's heart finally relaxed. This was the first time Lin Yang and Lin Yuchen had seen a Yu like this, and Lin Yuxing's actions had a great impact on their future lives. Of course, this was all a story in the future.
Lin Yuxing decided to make the tofu brewing, the carp bean curd soup and the braised tofu. He had originally wanted to make the Mai Po tofu, but unfortunately, he had not seen Chili Pepper at all, and could only restrain himself until he found the chilli pepper before continuing, not to mention that the tender tofu was very good at making these things.
The tofu must first be prepared, the pork cut into small pieces, put in garlic, then chopped into minced meat, then the minced meat chopped into a little salt, so that it melts into the meat, and then the tofu will be cut into half into a triangular shape, before the tofu is brewed with chopsticks in the middle of the tofu, cut a little deeper, but do not cut.
Lin Yuxing took a piece of tofu that he cut earlier and placed it on his palm, using the chopsticks to slice through the tofu, and then put the appropriate amount of stuffing into the hole, using the chopsticks to poke the stuffing into the hole, this step required a lot of caution, adding too much of the stuffing could easily burst the tofu, it was too little and not tasty, the stuffing was all on the surface too.
Lin Yuxing had also told them about this little trick, which was to use the thumb, thumb, and forefinger of the ring finger to lightly wrap around the tofu, preventing it from bursting.
When the tofu was brewed one by one, the hot pot was filled with oil, and the oil was almost boiled, appropriate amount of oil was put in, and the tofu was put in the pot one by one. When the tofu was fried, after the other side was fried, one side had to be fried until each side was fried. After that, the tofu was stewed with appropriate amount of water and salt until the juice was collected.
Lin Yuxing spent a lot of time when he finished making a plate of tofu, but looking at the colourful and tasty tofu, even he could not help but gulp down a bit of his saliva, “Uncle, this is tofu making, it can become the main dish. The remaining are the carp bean curd soup and the braised tofu.”
After Lin Yuxing finished all the dishes, everyone swallowed their saliva, and impatiently started to eat, “Alright! “Alright!” This was the first time he had eaten such delicious tofu, and also the first time he had tasted the carp bean curd soup.
Lin Yang and the others had not tried it, since the Fun Boite were not enough for chefs, so how could it be theirs? But when they thought about how Yu was about to earn a lot of money, they all smiled.
The shopkeeper was very satisfied with these three dishes, especially the tofu stew and the carp bean curd soup. As for the braised tofu, it was likely that many people would like it.
“Uncle, I'm not lying to you, right? With these three dishes, Fun Boite's business will definitely rise day by day.” Lin Yuxing knew that in the whole town, no, it should be said that no such vegetables had appeared in the entire Da Xia Empire, and the profits from it were not small.
The shopkeeper smiled and looked at Lin Yuxing, “Does Yu intend to supply tofu to our Fun Boite?” This tofu recipe was the most important thing. Without tofu, nothing else could be done.
“Of course, but our manpower is limited, so we can't provide much.” Lin Yuxing naturally considered this question, not to mention that this secret task was also a difficult one.
“How about this, I'll buy three dishes first. As for the tofu, you guys can supply it to us at Fun Boite level first.” The shopkeeper had already seen the potential value of tofu, “The tofu recipe and its future. I'll have the boss discuss it with you personally.”
Since he was already so familiar with Lin Yuxing and the others, he would naturally not lie to them. But to build a tofu factory, he would need a lot of money. He probably did not plan to sell the formula.
Lin Yuxing's face did not change, but he was secretly happy, he never thought that the uncle in front of him would actually be such a generous person, but he knew that this person was intentionally trying to befriend them. As for the specifics, he would not ask, but everything was extremely beneficial for them.
“Just do as uncle says.” Lin Yuxing smiled and nodded.
Thus, the shopkeeper spent 50 taels to buy the fermented tofu, carp bean curd soup and red braised tofu.
This was simply impossible for Lin Yang and the rest, but the Yu managed to do it, and sold the tofu they sent over for two taels of silver.
“Since we're already in town, let's take a look at the store.” suggested. Even he found it hard to endure Second Brother's and Chen's sparkling eyes.
“Yes.” Xiang Tian gently replied, his brother was really capable, as a man, he couldn't fall behind.
“Second Brother, Chen, we will make a lot of money in the future. This is just the first step.” So don't look at me like that, okay? Lin Yuxing left out the last part.
After Lin Yang and Lin Yuchen heard this, they desperately nodded their heads.
“Isn't this Soong Yang? Oh wow, I never would have thought that I would see him here, and he actually dares to come out? ” Before they could go far, a discordant voice rang out.
