Facts proved that Tiedan's problem was very critical. Although the fire was off, the earthenware jar had good insulation effect. When you look inside, you can still see steam clearly.
To dip tofu in vinegar, basically add vinegar to water in a ratio of eight to one, and the tofu will be more tender.
If you want to eat firmer tofu, the ratio of water to vinegar can be five to one, and the total should account for one-fifth of the soy milk.
Half a clay pot of soy milk weighs about three pounds. Miao Wan estimated and poured a spoonful of fermented vinegar and water into the mixture, poured it into the mixture along the stirring wooden spoon, stirred it evenly, and covered it with a lid.
Since you can't see it, then don't look at it.
"Then I'll let you eat the snowflakes in your mouths."
Qiaoya whispered, "Snow doesn't taste good. It pricks your teeth."
Miao Wan pinched her cheek and said, "Then heat up the snowflakes before eating them, and they won't prick your teeth."
Qiaoya bit her fingers and nodded, thinking that her aunt was very capable. But for some reason, she smiled in a strange way.
Cui Ya and Qiao Rui covered their mouths and laughed. Snowflakes turned into water when heated, so how could they be eaten?
After Miao Wan tricked the little kids, she couldn't let them down, so she had to make some 'snowflakes' that could be cooked.
Having malt syrup and a broth rich in fat at home is enough to make simple tofu pudding.
After a cup of tea, Miao Wan opened the lid, scooped out the tea with a spoon and looked at it, feeling very proud.
So what if she's clumsy? She still managed to do it in one go. As expected of Miao Shiren.
The snow-white tofu pudding was successfully condensed, with a layer of slightly sour water on the surface, making the tofu pudding in the wooden spoon look more like snow dancing in the air.
Children have weak spleen and stomach, so it is not good for them to eat too many soy products. At least they will fart a lot and the smell will definitely not be good.
So she only made two bowls of tofu pudding, one with malt syrup and one with broth containing minced meat, for the children to share.
She also served a bowl to each of the adults, and all the tofu pudding in the earthenware pot was filled.
First a bowl of soy milk, then a bowl of tofu pudding, almost half full.
Miao Wan silently chose the salty tofu pudding. In fact, she liked to eat the softer tofu pudding, but the village chief's family liked to eat the tofu pudding with a firmer texture, so she followed suit.
But whether it is tofu pudding or bean curd, she likes salty taste. She always feels that the sweet taste is like the double skin milk that is not made well, and it feels weird.
After she said this, sister Chenxi, who was in the sweet party, ordered her Husky to quarrel with her all afternoon, and her ears were almost deafened.
From then on, she never dared to mention it again. Isn’t it okay that sweet and salty are the best?
Who knew, she didn't mention it, the kids were about to fight.
Qiao Rui and Qiao Ya insisted that sweet tofu pudding was more delicious, and insisted on dragging Cui Ya to eat the sweet one.
Tiedan and Haomaodan like sweet food, but Cuiya and Tiezhu only eat salty food.
Neither of them was convinced. Qiao Rui and Qiao Ya felt that Cui Ya had betrayed their camp, and Cui Ya felt that there was something wrong with Qiao Rui and Qiao Ya's tongue.
The brothers Tiedan and Maodan were still young, and they watched their sisters quarreling with a confused look on their faces.
The battle line spread to Changshou, and everyone forced Changshou to make a choice.
Changshou was holding a bowl of salty tofu pudding, not knowing what to say, "Actually, they're all...all delicious?"
"Fence-sitter!"
"No opinion!"
The three young ladies finally united as one, scolded Changshou, and then turned to look for the adults.
But the adults who realized that the situation was not good had already run away.
Miao Wan silently ordered the tofu in the iron pot. Qiao Ruichen and Uncle Geng took the iron pot out to filter the sour water and press the tofu. Aunt Geng left her son and went to the east room to look after the children.
This temporarily avoided a war.
But the children did not give up. They took the remaining two and a half bowls of tofu pudding, and no one was willing to eat them, and took them to Zhang's house.
There are so many people in the Zhang family, they can definitely pick out the best food.
Miao Wan watched from the side and exclaimed, "This is a panacea."
Regardless of ancient or modern times, regardless of age, whenever the two appear at the same time, there will be a conflict.
"What?" Qiao Ruichen didn't hear her mumbling clearly.
Miao Wan saw that the tofu had been placed in a wooden frame and weighed down with flat stones, and she perked up. "No big deal, I'll go feed Taotao, and then we'll go to the restaurant for lunch. We'll be able to eat the tofu when we come back this afternoon!"
Since she can’t eat Mapo Tofu now, can’t she eat homemade tofu to satisfy her craving first?
Mapo tofu can be sent to restaurants to be made.
As for why not take it now, firstly, Miao Wan couldn't wait any longer, and secondly, she couldn't eat it, so why should she let Sun Ada make it and torture herself?
She was going to torture them, hehehe...
As Qiao Ruichen drove the mule cart toward the street, Miao Wan, who was sitting on the shaft with him, warned him, "Husband... no, brother, you must keep a close eye on me when the time comes. I think I'm going to be in trouble today."
Qiao Ruichen: “…” Since you know, why bother.
But after looking at his wife who was obviously very excited, he said nothing.
I don't know when Miao Wan asked Geng to make her a set of men's clothes. It was the kind of wide, straight, tight-fitting robe that scholars wore. The inside was sky blue, with a soft band of the same color in the middle, and a navy blue double-breasted robe on the outside.
This was obviously a long-planned plan. Qiao Ruichen glanced at the location of his daughter's rations calmly. It wasn't that he had any romantic thoughts, but he felt that it would be useless for his wife to dress up as a man.
What's the point of just painting your face black? If you don't tighten your bulging chest, everyone will see that you are not a man.
Miao Wan seemed to know what Qiao Ruichen was thinking. She pulled at her collar and smiled smugly, "I just want them to see that I'm a young lady. There aren't many female customers in the street, but Jufu Restaurant won't be catering solely to men in the future. I just want to see how they treat female customers."
Especially those evil guests who are taking advantage of the power of others to bully others.
She asked Sun Yaozu to observe carefully in the restaurant every day. Miao Wan was very dissatisfied with what he said and she didn't even understand it.
She had clearly given Zhang Sanzhuang the training service brochure, so how could it still be like this?
The business might even get worse, which was something Miao Wan had never thought of.
Not only does she have to cause trouble today, she also has to establish her prestige.
Thinking of this, Miao Wan patted Qiao Ruichen's arm and said earnestly, "Brother, whether I am a dragon or a worm today depends entirely on you. Please protect me well."
Qiao Ruichen: “…Okay.”
In March, even though it is still very cold in the northwest in the morning and evening, the midday sun is warmer than in winter, and the temperature is comfortable. Many more people are willing to go out for a walk, including, of course, traveling merchants looking for food.
The restaurants and food stalls on the street are doing pretty good business, but the most eye-catching one is Ju Fu Restaurant, which has just been open for over a month.
However, diners who cannot get a table at Jufu Restaurant will also disperse to other restaurants, which makes the surrounding store owners love and hate Jufu Restaurant.
Zhang Sanzhuang is a good person and often recommends the signature restaurants in the surrounding area to his guests. Many people who come out of Jufu Restaurant also go to his restaurant for dinner.
So for a while, the shop owners in the neighborhood were very kind to Zhang Sanzhuang, so Zhang Sanzhuang didn't feel there was anything wrong at all.
Miao Wan cut a paper fan made by her father-in-law and held it against her chest that day. Whether it was elegant or not was another matter, but if someone saw it, they would especially want to ask her:
Are you cold today, fan yourself?
Miao Wan rolled her eyes and pretended not to hear. She was holding the fan not for elegance, but to ward off evil!
As they reached the door of Jufu Restaurant, Miao Wan boasted to Qiao Ruichen, "The shop is well decorated. It was all my idea. Of course, the calligraphy was written by Dad."
Qiao Ruichen couldn't help but smile. "It's really good. The first time I came here, I felt that it was simple and natural, yet meticulously crafted. Ah... Wandi is really talented."
Miao Wan: What the hell is Wan Di?
"Does 'Adi' sound better?" You don't have a younger brother anyway.
Of course, she received Qiao Ruichen's meaningful flattery, and she laughed while not forgetting to praise each other for business. "Next time I open a shop, I'll use your calligraphy. Dad said your handwriting is more elegant. I'll ask Taotao to learn from you."
After saying that, without waiting for Qiao Ruichen to speak, Miao Wan raised her eyebrows and stepped forward to stop a guest who came out with a frown.
"Why is this guy out? I heard that Jufu Restaurant has delicious food that can't be found anywhere else, and I was thinking of going in to try it. Could it be that this place hired someone to do false advertising?"
Before the guests could react, the waiter at the door said unhappily, "Let me know, we happened to be having a barbecue today, and we really don't have any space. We're worried that you'll have to wait hungry, so we're asking you to go somewhere else."
The waiter was quite proud of what he said. In the whole street, how many restaurants were always full of customers like Ju Fu Restaurant?
Miao Wan almost had a heart attack after hearing this. Just kicking away the guests when the restaurant is full?
She gave Qiao Ruichen a look, rolled up her sleeves and stopped the guest who was about to leave.
"Brother, please don't stop me. I've traveled all over the world and I've never come across a restaurant that chases customers away. I absolutely must go in and eat today. If you don't let me eat, I'll smash your restaurant up!"
Diner: Who is stopping whom?
However, the diner felt quite comfortable with what Miao Wan said. Although he didn't want to wait, he came here but there was no table to eat, and he could smell such delicious food, which really made him feel unhappy.
"Don't you dare get out of the way? I'm telling you, my wife's second aunt's neighbor's eldest daughter is working for the old saint and has offended me. Do you believe it? I'll make your restaurant go bankrupt!"
Geng was the third child in the Geng family. Qiao Ruichen's second aunt and first aunt married close to him, and they lived next to each other before his first aunt passed away.
Qi Wangshu was the daughter of his great aunt. Being a concubine to the sage could also be considered as doing a service, right?
If Miao Wan wanted to close the shop, she could just say she wanted to take it down for repairs and neither Sun Laohuo nor Zhang Sanzhuang would object. She hadn't said a single lie.
The guest calculated for a long time but couldn't figure out what the relationship was between the servant's daughter and the person in front of him.
But the waiter had already backed off and made way for Miao Wan to come in. "Please calm down, sir. I was just being rude. There really are no tables left. It's not that I don't want to serve you."
Miao Wan was standing at the door, with Qiao Ruichen and a burly diner standing behind her. They looked quite arrogant. Zhang Sanzhuang heard the quarrel from afar and hurried over.
As soon as he came over, he gasped, "Ah..." He had been waiting for several days, and seeing Miao Wan busy at home, but the water couldn't flow, he was so anxious.
Now seeing Miao Wan, Zhang Sanzhuang was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. The knife hanging over his head had finally been chopped down. He had been waiting so long that Miao Wan was almost in his dreams.
Miao Wan interrupted him, "What are you talking about? I see your lobby is so big, but you can't set up a few tea tables and make some snacks. You just want us to sit and wait? I came to your restaurant to eat, just to give you face, why don't you hurry up and prepare it!"
The guest following behind him subconsciously thought, this is not what he said, every word touched people's heart.
The other guests who were sitting on the benches by the door and eating melon seeds also nodded. The melon seeds were delicious, but they would make you get a sore throat!
Even the guests who had already eaten were enjoying the skewers with a sip of wine and a bite of meat, but they were lacking in fun. When they saw someone causing trouble, they treated it as a storyteller and watched with great interest.
Zhang Sanzhuang was in tears. Seeing Miao Wan dressed like that, he knew what she was going to do. How dare he ruin Miao Wan's good fortune?
If he behaved badly, when he returned home, Am's fire stick, Ada's shoe soles, and his wife's tears would all be waiting for him.
"Please take a seat first, my dear. I'll go to the back and ask the chef to make some snacks to satisfy your taste buds."
Miao Wan snorted twice and glared at the waiter. "Why don't you send a table over quickly? With your dullness, you won't even get a tip even if you smile like a flower."
The waiter was shot in the knee. He was in the lobby and the shopkeeper promoted him to wait for customers at the door because he looked kind.
Maybe the diners in the lobby were not as wealthy as the guests in the kang room. He had been working there for more than a month and had indeed not seen them offering tips very often.
After the waiter brought the low table over, Qiao Ruichen stood behind Miao Wan and let his wife talk to the guest who had just been dragged in.
"Where is this man from? Oh, are you from Yuejing?"
Miao Wan was startled and frantic, and she was making a big noise. "Have you heard that Yue Jing has come up with something new? They say that business in this restaurant is so good that diners have to line up. The food...tsk tsk, the drinks...tsk tsk. They're also thinking of trying some kind of carp leaping over the dragon gate trick. I heard that even scholars are crazy about it."
The diner who was craning his neck to listen was unhappy. "No, what do you mean by tsk tsk? Explain it clearly!"
"Oh, I'm hungry and don't have the mood to explain." Miao Wan touched her stomach and said. She came out at noon and was indeed hungry.
"Little brother, why don't you come to our table? I'll treat you to the wine and meat, so just tell me what you want." The man who ordered the barbecue waved at Miao Wan.
Miao Wan walked past the waiter and said sarcastically, "No room, huh? Waiting on an empty stomach, huh?"
Everyone: "..." Your "hmm" is really a bit lacking.
But it's rare to meet such a loud guy, and he even has guards with him. I think he comes from a wealthy family and must be experienced.
And everyone could see that this was just a young lady.
In a place like this where there are too many men, tea sells better when there is a little girl who plays musical instruments and sings in the teahouse, not to mention there is also a young lady who is willing to keep you in suspense.
She may not have any bad intentions, but everyone is willing to listen to her.
If it were someone else, like Zhang Sanzhuang, he would have already started looking at Qiao Ruichen worriedly, fearing that he would quarrel with Miao Wan in a fit of anger.
But Qiao Ruichen didn't care about this, and was even amused by his wife so much that he wanted to laugh.
When he was a child, he practiced martial arts at his maternal grandfather's house, and so did his grandmother. Although his grandfather seemed to be breaking the rules, he actually had no way to deal with his grandmother.
As for Qiao Ruichen, he didn't want to restrict Miao Wan. The more brilliant her life was, the happier he was. This was what the Qiao family owed her.
Miao Wan sat down and ate a skewer, not forgetting to scold the waiter: "If it weren't for this bite of food, I really wouldn't want you to make me angry."
Waiter: “…”
Then she slammed her stick on the table and said, "I heard that too. When I was at home, my family wouldn't let me go out. It was my brother who told me all that. He's the one behind me. Look at how handsome he is, right? He's already taken. If you have sisters at home, don't worry about him."
Miao Wan was busy at the table, but she didn't forget Qiao Ruichen.
Others: "..." Then what are you bragging about?
But Qiao Ruichen had a smile in his eyes, and he didn't mean to say this to outsiders.
"My brother told me that they eat something called strange-flavored orchid beans. They say there are crab roe flavors, spicy flavors, sweet flavors, five-spice flavors, and fennel flavors. Each one is different, and it all depends on luck. The strange-flavored beans are crispy and crunchy, and they have a sweet and fragrant crunch in your mouth. They're so delicious! I saw them in Xining Town and was so excited, but I didn't know anyone could make them."
The others were drooling after hearing this and ate the barbecue even more enthusiastically. They became more excited after hearing the last sentence.
"You saw it? Where did you see it?"
Many people couldn't help but stretch their ears to listen. Those who could rush to Ju Fu Restaurant to eat barbecue were most likely greedy for food, and no one wanted to miss out on good food.
Miao Wan laughed and refused to say anything, "Let's talk about drinks. I heard Jufu Restaurant has milk tea. Is it good?"
Customer: "It's really delicious, whether sweet or savory. It's richer than milk, not fishy, and has the fragrance of tea. It warms the body when hot and relieves greasiness when cold. Ask the waiter to bring you a pot, it's not expensive."
Miao Wan glared at the waiter who was also listening intently. "Isn't it that I've interrupted your story? How about you sit down and I'll tell you while I stand?"
Waiter: “…” He was so irritated by the young lady that he didn’t dare to say anything and ran to the back to serve milk tea.
After the milk tea was served, Miao Wan took a sip and smacked her lips. "It's fragrant, but it's still far inferior to the fun milk tea I've had."
Even Zhang Sanzhuang came over quietly and said: You didn’t tell me that it was so far away. Are you here to destroy your own place?
The author has something to say:
It's not designed to make a fuss just to slap people in the face, it's mainly because Goji Berry feels that there will always be people who like to watch the fun, ahem... well, it's mainly for advertising for the follow-up.
See you tomorrow at 18:00 for more fun~
