Chapter 132 A sense of accomplishment

After dinner, Li Meng led a few people to make two plates of old tofu, which she planned to use to make fermented tofu and stinky tofu.

After they discussed what they were going to do next, they left separately. Li Meng went back into the room to read a book. She was still studying how to make the dried tofu more delicious.

Then she went into the space and took out the tools and seasonings needed to make fermented tofu and stinky tofu. Anyway, no one else had opened the things she brought back before, so she just treated them as what she had brought back before.

I was busy in the kitchen alone for a while, wrapped the incubator with a quilt, then washed up and went back to my room to sleep.

Maybe I was too excited these two days. I dreamed of grinding soy milk at night. When I got up in the morning, my arms felt sore.

Sister Wang from the supply and marketing cooperative was informed by the director early in the morning that her request could be granted, but three days was a bit long and it would be difficult to explain if the leader came to inspect, so it was changed to two days.

Two days is much better than the one day that Li Meng had mentioned before. Sister Wang wanted to tell Li Meng about this as soon as possible. She was afraid of delaying Li Meng's work, so she took advantage of the lunch break to go to the warehouse where she had purchased the goods before, knocked on the door and told Mr. Song.

Old Master Song was afraid of delaying Li Meng's business, so he asked Da Song to ride his bike back to Huanglong Village to tell Li Meng the news. When Da Song arrived by bike, it was like timely rain. Li Meng directly assigned him a job called pushing the mill, which required physical effort.

Only then did Da Song realize that Li Meng and her friends were making tofu at home, and they were going to try and see if they could sell it, thus providing an additional source of income.

Li Meng let Da Song go back only after the soybeans were ground. She also asked Da Song to bring some of the dried tofu that he had made earlier for Grandpa Song and the others to try.

"Mengmeng, didn't you say you would make delicious food for us today? When will you make it?" Wu Ruirui said greedily.

"I made them last night, but both of them take time. I'll make them for you as soon as they're ready to eat," Li Meng said mysteriously.

"What is it? Why does it take so long? Is it very troublesome?" Li Laidie asked in confusion.

"Well, these two delicacies need time to ferment, so just wait and see," Li Meng kept the secret.

The other three people were very curious, what were these two things? In that case, just wait patiently.

Then Li Meng took out the dried tofu that had been dried last night and made it into two flavors: spicy dried tofu and five-spice dried tofu, and then asked them to come over and taste it.

"Is this the delicacy you mentioned before that takes time to prepare?" Liu Huan looked at the finished product and didn't feel like it.

"This is not it. This is the sample I'm going to take to the supply and marketing cooperative. You guys can try it first. We'll use these two things to test the waters to open up sales." Li Meng handed the bamboo stick to Liu Huan, asking her to taste it.

Liu Huan picked up a spicy tofu with a bamboo skewer and started to taste it. It was spicy and fragrant, just like eating meat. The texture was also very good and elastic. The more he chewed, the more delicious it became. He couldn't help but eat another piece, and then gave Li Meng a thumbs up!

"It tastes so good that people want to eat more. I think it tastes better than meat," Liu Huan praised.

When the others heard what Liu Huan said, they quickly picked up the bamboo sticks and started eating. They all became quiet for a moment, chewing the dried tofu carefully, with a satisfied expression on everyone's face.

"What are the flavors of these two? Both are delicious. One is a little spicy, and the other is very fragrant and not spicy." Wu Ruirui nodded and commented.

"One is spicy, the other is spiced. Do you think these two can be sold?" Li Meng also picked up a piece and started eating. The spicy one was carefully developed by her and was made according to the current taste of spicy strips. It must be delicious.

When the five-spice stew is made, bones are added into the stew, and the aroma of meat is also present, so it must be delicious. Li Meng is very confident about the two things she made.

"Of course, it will definitely sell. It will definitely be a big hit," Wu Ruirui supported. She thought it tasted good and was almost the same as meat. Moreover, it was definitely cheaper than meat, so it would definitely sell.

The other three also nodded vigorously, and all agreed that it would definitely sell well.

"Then let's make some, wrap them in oil paper, and then take them to town to try tomorrow," Li Meng said confidently. This was the first time she made something to sell. Before, she bought things for moving space, not made them herself, so she didn't have any sense of accomplishment. If it sells well this time, she would feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Several people worked together and made a lot of tofu. After it cooled down, they wrapped it with oil paper. Looking at the wrapped tofu, they smiled at each other.

The next day, Li Meng did not ride a bike. Instead, he took the prepared tofu with Wu Ruirui and Liu Huan and went to the town on a ox cart. Li Laidi and Aunt Ma soaked and harvested the beans at home.

The three of them rode on a wobbly ox cart all the way to the town, carrying their things and heading straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Mengmeng, you're here! Come in quickly, I've reserved a good seat for you." When Sister Wang saw Li Meng coming in, she quickly waved to her.

Li Meng followed Sister Wang to the pastry counter on the first floor. She had already agreed with the tellers inside, so Li Meng did not hesitate to give each of the two young female tellers a bottle of hand cream.

Then he opened the two bags of dried tofu he had brought, placed them on the table, and began to shout. Because this was a food counter, there were quite a lot of people walking around, and when the things were opened, many curious people leaned over to take a look.

Liu Huan took out the bamboo sticks that Zhou Hui had sharpened and placed them on the table. Li Meng picked up a few pieces with the sticks and asked Sister Wang to pass them to the other cashiers around to taste.

"What is this? Is it food?" a well-dressed middle-aged man asked curiously.

"Uncle, these are spicy dried tofu and five-spice dried tofu. You can try them for free today. You should definitely try them. They are great as a side dish with wine. Would you like to try them?" After saying that, Li Meng gave Wu Ruirui a look, and Wu Ruirui handed one to the uncle in return.

"It's a free tasting, so I'll give it a try." The uncle took the bamboo stick and started eating. His eyes lit up as soon as he put it in his mouth. It was delicious, chewy, and fragrant. It was definitely a good dish to go with wine. It would be nice to have this as a side dish for wine if someone came to my house in the future.

"It's delicious, girl, how much is this?" the uncle asked quickly.

"A half-pound bag costs 2 yuan, the same price for both. Uncle doesn't have it now, so you have to register first and come get it the day after tomorrow," Li Meng explained. Today is a food tasting event, so if you want it, register and come get it the day after tomorrow!

"It's delicious, better than meat. Give me one pound of the same. Where do I register?" The uncle said readily. The uncle works in a hospital and usually wants to have a few sips of wine when he gets home from get off work. This is definitely a good dish to go with the wine.
