Chapter 117 Tofu is Made Successfully

When Zhao Fa saw that Shang Ruoting took the initiative to offer to teach Yang Mei the method of making braising sauce, he naturally did not object. It would be a good thing to have one more person in the team who could make tofu.

"That's no problem. The room next to our office is empty. You can go there to make the plaster water."

Shang Ruoting took Yangmei directly to the empty room and patiently taught her the ratio of gypsum and water.

Yangmei studied very seriously, and she basically remembered everything after Shang Ruoting explained it once.

All that was left was to wait for the soy milk in the tofu shop to boil, then pour it into the mold and add the brine. Shang Ruoting also told Yangmei the ratio of the brine.

More than an hour later, the first batch of soy milk was cooked. After cooling for a while, Deputy Captain Wang directed the members to carry the soy milk to the next room.

Shang Ruoting didn't expect that the two captains were so considerate. They knew that she couldn't reveal the method of making the stew to more people, so they prepared a separate room for her.

She poured the gypsum water into the soy milk, and Yangmei was responsible for stirring it to ensure that the gypsum water was fully mixed with the soy milk.

At the same time, Shang Ruoting was explaining the ratio of gypsum and water to Yangmei, and the two cooperated seamlessly.

Wait until the soy milk gradually solidifies, then pour it into a mold covered with gauze and compact it.

After thirty minutes, the tofu is pressed, and it can be removed from the mold and cut into pieces and sent out for sale.

The two were busy inside the house, and had no idea that the two captains outside were like ants on a hot pan, pacing back and forth at the door, worried that Shang Ruoting's tofu-making would not be successful.

When she and Yang Mei opened the door, Zhao Fa and Vice Captain Wang came over and asked in unison, "Ruoting, did it work?"

Shang Ruoting gave a reassuring smile: "The two captains will know after they go in and take a look."

After hearing this, Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang tried to squeeze into the house together. However, Deputy Captain Wang was fat and Zhao Fa was also very strong. As a result, neither of them could get in and both were stuck at the door.

In the end, it was Deputy Captain Wang who stepped back first, letting Zhao Fa go in first, and then he followed him in.

When they saw several plates of white and tender tofu on the table, they were so excited that tears were about to fall.

Zhao Fa stretched out his hand and carefully touched the white and tender tofu.

"Ruoting, is this successful?"

Deputy Captain Wang was even more exaggerated. He directly reached out and grabbed a small piece and put it into his mouth.

Then he took Zhao Fa's hand and was so excited that he almost gave him a close hug.

"Captain, the tofu is ready. It tastes better than the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative."

When Zhao Fa heard Deputy Captain Wang say this, he no longer cared about being reserved and reached out to grab a piece.

Soon, his expression became exactly like that of Vice Captain Wang. If his mouth was a little bigger, the corners of his lips would reach his ears.

“Hahahaha…delicious…hahaha…success, we succeeded…”

His voice was so loud that it attracted all the members who were still making soy milk. Everyone stood at the door and watched the scene inside the house.

The two captains stood in front of the white and tender tofu and smiled foolishly.

"Has our production team's tofu really been made?"

"Didn't the captain just say it was a success?"

"No, pinch me, it doesn't feel real to me."

"How is it? Does it hurt?"

"pain!"

"That means it's true."

"That's great! Not only does this solve our soybean backlog problem, but everyone can also enjoy fresh tofu."

Zhao Fa listened to the members' words, his smile gradually faded. He said seriously, "As the saying goes, when you drink water, remember the well-digger. The fact that we can make tofu is all thanks to Shang Ruoting. I've decided that as long as the tofu shop is open for one day, I'll reward him with 30 work points every day. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone looked at each other, then looked at the white and tender tofu that made them drool, and shook their heads.

"I have no objection. Shang Ruoting has made an indelible contribution to our team's ability to make tofu."

"Yes, thankfully Shang Ruoting came up with this solution to solve our problem of not being able to sell our shriveled soybeans."

Zhao Fa noticed that everyone was talking heatedly, so he waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet, and continued, "Since you all have no objections, it's settled that Shang Ruoting will be rewarded with 30 work points per day."

After saying that, he looked at Yang Mei again: "And Yang Mei, she is Shang Ruoting's assistant, and her work steps are also very critical. I decided to give her twenty work points a day."

This time, Zhao Fa didn't even need to ask, as everyone answered in unison: "As long as we can make money from tofu, we have no objection."

It was decided that the two of them would earn high work points.

The two captains, who had originally thought that it would take some time to talk, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

He immediately ordered someone to send the tofu to the designated supply and marketing cooperative, and then arranged for everyone to continue making tofu after lunch, but Shang Ruoting stopped him.

"Captain, it's already past ten in the morning. Tofu is delicious, but it's not easy to store. Even if we make it in the afternoon, it won't be ready until after two o'clock when the supply and marketing office closes."

"If we deduct the time it takes to deliver the goods, it will take at least three o'clock to arrive at the supply and marketing cooperative. If we can't sell all the tofu today, it will go bad tomorrow. In this way, we will not only not make any money, but will even lose money."
