Chapter 58 Tofu

Yang Xuchen started selling steamed buns before the time came, and within an hour, the steamed buns were sold out.

The main steamed buns were all the same price, and everyone saw that they also came with a bowl of soy milk, so they all came to buy it.

Some people think bean paste buns are expensive, and the non-meat ones are almost the same price as meat buns. But there are curious people who are willing to pay the four cents to buy one and try it.

The result was very popular, and some people bought it for their families after eating it, and some even asked the neighbors to join them.

In short, Yang Xu actually felt the presence of repeat customers on the first day. Yang Xu couldn't laugh or cry, and explained that they would still be available tomorrow. But the soy milk would not be delivered.

Some bought it to bring to their families, but there was no way to put the soy milk in it. Some people who were close to home had to go back to get a bowl. Those who were far away had to put poplar catkins in bamboo tubes for drinking water.

So, in the end, all the steamed buns and soy milk were sold out.

"Will your soy milk be available tomorrow? My grandson loves to drink it." An old woman asked with a child.

"Yes, but soy milk will be on sale tomorrow, and today is the first day the shop is open, so I will give you soy milk." Yang Xu explained with a smile.

"Okay, this is what it should be. How much does it cost for a bowl? The old lady is very reasonable and understands that this thing looks like someone else's secret recipe, so it can't always be free.

"Two cents a bowl. If you like your drink sweet, you can add sugar."

"That's it, can you come over at Chenshi tomorrow? I'll buy it tomorrow."

This soy milk is still very popular today, and it is unheard of, so it is unique. It is better to come here early to avoid selling out.



"Brother Dayi, let's pack up and go back! They're all sold out. It's better than I thought!"

Yang Xu guessed that the business might be good, but he didn't expect the business to be so good. It was sold out quickly, and there were still some left.

Although the meat is purchased, it is at wholesale price. The noodles are made from wheat grown in the home, and the vegetables are also grown in the home. As for the red beans, they are also grown in the home.

So, you can make three to four hundred pennies a day. Even after deducting costs, you can still make a net profit of two hundred pennies a day.

So I can earn six taels of silver this month, not counting other things I will sell in the future.

Yang Xu felt very happy when she thought about it.

Wang Dayi looked at Yang Xu happily, and also looked at Yang Xu with a smile. Xu'er liked this kind of life, and she felt that happiness was the most important thing.

"Brother Dayi, it's still very early! Let's go to my cousin's house. I said before that I would invite my cousin to the house for dinner. You drive the donkey cart and I'll cook at home."

Yang Xu thought about it again. In addition to her cousin's family, Erdan's family also had to be called. Brother Dayi had a good relationship with his family.

Anyway, there are people selling steamed buns every day, and it’s almost the same, so it’s better to make the most of it. Let’s invite you to dinner today, and recognize the door by the way, so that you can be a guest when you come to town in the future.

"Okay, then do you want to invite aunt's family?"

"No, if you meet me, I'll call you. If you can't meet me, I won't call you."

My cousin's house is on the edge of the village, and Lin Honghua's house is inside the village, so it should be out of reach.

Wang Dayi nodded, he knew that Xu'er didn't like Lin Honghua, and he didn't like that family either.

But after all, she was Xu'er's mother-in-law. If others knew about it, they might accuse Xu'er of not respecting her elders. He didn't want others to talk about Xu'er either.

Anyway, he just went to his cousin's house, parked the donkey cart there, and then went to call Erdanzi.

After discussing it, Wang Dayi went to the village, and Yang Xu went home to cook.

Actually, the main reason I called over for dinner today was because I wanted to bring some tofu back to my cousin and Erdan.

She had prepared the brine in advance. When she was grinding the soy milk this morning, she made some more and planned to make tofu dishes at noon.

After returning home, Yang Xu took a short rest, and then planned to start making tofu.

Boil a pot of hot water first and set aside. There is still a lot of soy milk for the morning!

Pour the beaten soy milk onto the large gauze and squeeze it. The soy milk will flow down from the gauze. What is on the gauze is the bean dregs. Keep adding the hot water that has just been heated and stir continuously until it flows from the gauze.

It's enough that the water left on the water becomes clearer.

The bean dregs are also kept. When the time comes, beat an egg and fry it into small pancakes, which is also delicious.

Put the filtered soy milk into the pot and bring to a boil. Pay attention to controlling the heat during the boiling process. It should not be too high to avoid a mushy taste. Use a spoon to break up the foam and see that it boils in the middle.

Just pour some brine in, blend it with soy milk, and then slowly and evenly pour it into the soy milk with a spoon in a circular motion. Do not add heat at this time to avoid burning. After pouring in the brine, slowly

If the soy milk is slow, it will condense into tofu pudding.

Cool the tofu naturally, wash the gauze and place it on a leaky container, then introduce the tofu onto the gauze, drain the water, wrap the gauze over, seal it, let it rest for a while, and the tofu is ready.

It's a coincidence that Yang Xu lived in the countryside for a few years when she was a child, and her grandmother knew how to make tofu. So, she also remembered some of it and tried to make it, but she did well.

In fact, tofu should also be developed, but there are not many soybeans grown at home. Making tofu buns can last for a while, but selling tofu exclusively will not work.

Also, you can make a lot of delicious things from tofu puddings, dried bean curds, etc. But I don’t grow enough soybeans at home, so I plan to make some soybean paste!

Therefore, Brother Dayi plans to buy more land next year to grow soybeans and rapeseeds.

Speaking of rapeseed, I have started to eat our own rapeseed oil. Tianbao and Dayi Ge both like it. This lard is fragrant, but eating it every day is boring and not good for the body! There is also Yipinxiang, Yangxu also

I want to use rapeseed oil, but I don’t grow enough rapeseed at home!

But it’s very cold in the north, so we can only talk about this in spring!



The prepared tofu can be eaten with ease. Yang Xu separated it and gave a few pieces to his cousin's house and Erdan's house. Later he went to Tang Tang's house to give two pieces.

Keep the rest at home, keep it with water when the weather is cool, and make tofu buns tomorrow morning.

I also add two tofu dishes at noon, let’s try Mapo tofu! Then put a piece in the fish pot, the tofu in the fish pot is especially delicious!

We also have two fish at home, which were given by my eldest brother. Several of Yipinxiang’s current dishes contain fish. I happened to get two of them for myself when I was shopping.

Moreover, Yipinxiang's fish meat is very popular now, and some vendors on the street have begun to sell fish. Although the fish is sold cheaply, the business is average. After all, no one can make the same taste as Yipinxiang.
Chapter completed!
