Chapter 47: Fairy Tofu
At that time, our own people will feel at ease when using the products. They know that the products are good, so they will naturally protect them.
It's a good deal that's sure to make money, so there's nothing to be reluctant about.
"Oh, then thank you, Xiao Banxia." The female relatives all smiled happily.
"Auntie, have you made the wood ash water that I asked you to burn this morning?" Yu Banxia listened to everyone's thanks and asked her sister-in-law who was smiling.
Wu Zhuxiang quickly responded: "It's all done. It's cooling there. I filtered it several times and it's very clean now."
"Okay."
"Aunties, now we are going to mash these leaves into mud and then wash them in water to extract the juice." Yu Banxia then began to demonstrate.
We took out a lot of gauze bags and everyone soon learned how to do it.
Zhao and others also came forward to help, and they finished it quickly while chatting and laughing. Yu Banxia poured clean boiled wood ash water into each wooden basin.
"Auntie, stir it quickly."
"Okay." The aunt in front of him quickly stirred it with a wooden stick.
In a short while, more than ten pots of magical tofu were ready.
"Is that it? What are these leaf juice and wood ash water used for?" Aunt Mei couldn't help but asked.
"You will know after half an incense stick of time." Yu Banxia was still playing a riddle.
She went back to her room and after a while, brought out some melon seeds.
Everyone looked at them curiously, and Zhao was even more surprised: "Oh, you still have the melon seeds for the New Year? They smell so good..."
"Why are the melon seeds so plump?" another woman asked curiously.
Yu Banxia pushed the blame onto the Qian family: "This was sent by my father Qian the other day. I had nothing to do yesterday so I cooked it and then fried it. This is five-spice. Ladies, aunts, and sisters-in-law, please try it."
"So it was sent by the rich man. No wonder the melon seeds are so plump."
"It smells good and tastes great." Everyone stepped forward, grabbed a handful and started eating. It was fragrant and crispy in the mouth, with an excellent taste.
Yu Banxia poured tea for everyone again: "This five-spice tea is easy to dry out the mouth. In winter, we can sell the melon seeds alone in the workshop for a good price."
"Xiao Banxia, you are now the leader of our village. We will do whatever you say."
Zhao said cheerfully.
Others quickly agreed: "Yes, Xiao Banxia, you are the boss now, you tell us what to do, and we will follow you."
"I'll let everyone taste another delicacy later. Mom, sister-in-law, you guys chat while I go make something for later."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately understood that this was a secret recipe that could not be told to anyone.
A few women were kind enough to want to help, but they were stopped. Yu Banyue followed them in.
The others immediately understood that they couldn't let them know, so they didn't insist and just drank tea and ate melon seeds outside.
By the time the seasoning is ready, the magical tofu is almost done.
Yu Banxia took out a kitchen knife and cut the magic tofu into tofu-sized pieces.
Then he picked up another piece and went back to the kitchen, and soon brought out the prepared magical tofu.
"Come and give us some help, aunts." Yu Banxia smiled at everyone. Her kitchen was quite big, and several aunts came to help cut the tofu.
Yu Banxia and Yu Banyue were putting seasonings on the side, and soon her bowls were not enough.
"I'll go get it."
"I'll go back and get it too." Yu Meihua and the others ran out quickly, and soon they all ran back.
Yu Banxia said, "We made a lot today. Let's eat it first, and then take the rest to the workshop to share with everyone."
Yu Baishun had already retrieved the title deed of the workshop in the morning, and everyone decided to put the workshop under Yu Banxia's name.
We rarely go to that place on weekdays, and it's summer, so the grass is very tall, so the men all went there to pull weeds.
"It's delicious, bitter, but very comfortable to eat." An old lady took a bite. It was sour, spicy and a little bitter, but delicious.
"Long-term consumption of these leaves is good for the body. They are refreshing and detoxifying. Long-term consumption can nourish the skin and detoxify."
Yu Banxia explained the benefits to everyone with a smile. When the women heard about this benefit, they immediately said, "Let's go pick it tomorrow."
"Should we sell this magical tofu?" Aunt Mei and Mrs. Zhao thought of this.
Yu Banxia nodded and said, "We will sell it at my sister-in-law's restaurant. When it becomes popular, we will make the juice into powder and collect it. When summer is over and autumn comes, we can make some money."
“Can it be made into powder?”
"Well, the magic tofu is not something that will last forever. It will definitely be discovered by others soon and it will be hard to hide. But after the summer, it will be difficult to eat it."
Banxia analyzed shrewdly.
Everyone nodded continuously, it turned out that young people’s brains are still the best.
They only see the immediate profits. Once this thing is turned into powder, it can be sold outside.
They finished eating quickly, cut all the tofu, poured out the water, and placed the tofu in a clean basin.
Yu Banxia prepared the seasoning and poured it in. Soon, four large pots of magical tofu were ready.
The other women carried the bowls and chopsticks in baskets, and Erniu and five other women helped carry the wooden basin towards the workshop.
"These young men are quite good. I heard that they are here to learn swordsmanship from your Xia Xia." Aunt Mei said to Fan Cuilan, while helping to hold Xia Lian's hand.
Fan Cuilan smiled and told the others what Erniu and the others had said: "I don't know either, but they said yes, before..."
Erniu and his friends felt embarrassed when they heard the women praising them.
"Miss Yu, we were a bit mixed up before, but from now on we will follow you. We will do whatever you tell us to do."
Erniu said seriously.
Yu Banxia is short of manpower, so naturally he won't push people away.
"Then help pull the weeds tomorrow. My family is going to build a kitchen later. Do you know how to build a house? If not, just help out."
Erniu and his friends felt a little embarrassed. They were idle and had no idea how to build a house.
"Miss Yu, let's help."
"Haha, young man, work hard and you will eventually learn it." A group of women laughed and encouraged them.
Erniu and others nodded repeatedly and said that they would study hard.
"Come here and enjoy the delicious food made by Xiao Banxia." Zhao shouted, and the people who were busy immediately looked up and watched them carrying things over.
They all ran out, and Zhao hurriedly stopped them: "Go wash your hands quickly, pat off the mud on your body, and don't get it on the food."
"Oh, okay."
After washing their hands and patting themselves on the ground, they lined up to get their delicious food. Erniu and a few others also helped.
"It's delicious, sour, spicy and a little bitter. Xia girl, what is this?" an uncle asked curiously.
Yu Meihua shouted excitedly: "Uncle, I know, I know, Banxia said this is divine tofu."
