Chapter 78 Tofu Pudding
"I'm not asking you to try it for free. After you try it, you have to tell me if it tastes good or not? Does it get stuck in your throat? If it tastes good, we'll sell it. You have to tell us the truth so we can improve it, okay?" Qin Fangci said this very seriously.
When Ma Dalang and Ma Erlang heard that it was not for free, they breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly took the soy milk.
Ma Dalang handed it to his younger brother, and Ma Erlang tasted it carefully.
It has a bean smell, not very tasty, but drinkable.
Ma Erlang passed it to his brother, and Ma Dalang also took a sip. "It tastes good, fragrant, fragrant."
Ma Erlang secretly poked Ma Dalang in the waist, not to ask him to tell the truth.
Ma Dalang slapped his brother's hand away and said, I am telling the truth!
Qin Fangci observed the brothers' little tricks clearly and said with a smile, "This is original soy milk. The bean flavor is stronger. People's tastes are different. Xiaoshan, I'll add some sugar for you. Try it again."
Ma Datian and Ma Xiaoshan tried to stop her, but Qin Fangci had already hurried to pour the soy milk again. After a while, she brought a bowl of soy milk with sugar.
"Try it again. The soy milk ground from a stone mill has a coarser texture. Some people can't get used to it. Adding some sugar might make it better."
At Qin Fangci's invitation, the two brothers tasted it again and found that it tasted better indeed.
Ma Xiaoshan and Ma Datian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it tastes good."
After the two of them finished talking, they took the bamboo tube and the backpack and ran away. Qin Fangci poured them another cup of sweetened soy milk for fear that they were a step slower.
Sugar is such a precious thing. How can it not taste good if you add such a precious thing?
It’s better to use it to make money.
Qin Fangci looked at the backs of the two Ma brothers thoughtfully. They were really a kind family.
"Mom, can I help you taste it too?"
Boss Li was extremely greedy.
The Ma brothers just helped peel bamboo shoots and could drink sweetened soy milk. He pushed the stone mill all morning.
Don't give him more sugar.
"Wait a moment." Qin Fangci said and turned to go to the kitchen.
Boss Li paused for a moment before realizing that his mother meant "wait a moment," not "no." He suddenly became happy and followed behind, "Mom, is there anything else you need to do? Leave it to me, I'll have the strength again."
"Come and take the soy milk out."
"Okay, Mom, where are we going? In the yard?"
Boss Li was so enthusiastic.
Qin Fangci scooped the remaining soy milk in the pot into a basin and scooped three spoonfuls of sugar from the sugar jar. Mrs. Du was stunned and felt a little heartbroken.
You have to add so much sugar.
"Give each child a bowl first." Qin Fangci handed the spoon to Mrs. Du.
Mrs. Du gasped, "Mom, aren't you selling it?"
"Give it to my family first. Beans aren't a precious commodity. I can make more later. Once my family is healthy, I can do more work and earn more money."
Mrs. Du then nodded and went to stir the soy milk obediently.
There was a full pot of soy milk, and I gave each child a bowl and half of it was gone.
Qin Fangci poured herself a bowl and said, "You all have one bowl too. When they come back, heat up the rest and share it with everyone."
Boss Li finally drank the sweet soy milk and felt completely satisfied.
It tastes good even though it has sugar added to it.
After drinking the soy milk, Qin Fangci brought the lime water that had been set aside to the yard.
Pan Sloppy, who had just finished drinking the soy milk, couldn't help but come over and ask, "What are you doing?"
There are so many new things happening day by day.
"You'll know in a while." Qin Fangci replied with a smile, pouring lime water evenly with one hand and stirring the soy milk gently with a large spoon in the other hand.
Lime water needs to be added in three times. Qin Fangci carefully observed the soy milk in the bucket. The shaking soy milk gradually solidified and turned into tofu pudding as the lime water was added.
"Oh my." Pan Laita couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Why does this look a bit like tofu?" Pan Laita asked uncertainly.
"Have you ever eaten tofu?" This time it was Qin Fangci's turn to be surprised. She hadn't seen anyone selling tofu when she went to the county town, and she thought there was no tofu.
"Yes, Jiangzhou produces a lot of salt, so the people there know how to make tofu. I heard it's made with brine. The tofu I've eaten was square, different from yours. It seemed a bit harder. I wonder if yours can't be cut into that kind of square tofu, right?"
"It feels a bit like a brain mess, limp and floppy." Pan Sloppy reached out and pressed it lightly, and Qin Fangci almost hit him with a wooden spoon.
"I washed my hands. I washed them this morning and haven't touched anything dirty yet." Pan Laita said hurriedly.
"Boss, bring over that dustpan over there."
"I'm here, Mom." Boss Li, who had just sweetly drunk a bowl of soy milk, happily came over to help by moving things.
Qin Fangci called Pan Laita to help hold the gauze, and asked Boss Li to pour half a bucket of tofu pudding into it.
Then twist the gauze up and press it down with a clean stone.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Boss Li was puzzled.
"Press out the water and let the tofu pudding firm up to see if it can turn into tofu."
Pan Sloppy raised an eyebrow. "Douhua, that's a good name. The pig's is called brain flower, and the bean's is called tofu pudding."
Boss Li smiled and pointed at the remaining tofu pudding in the bucket. "Mom, what should we do with the rest? Should we add some sugar and stir it?"
It tastes sweet just thinking about it.
"You can add sugar and salt, but don't eat the rest. Save it for cooking at noon today."
Li Laoer said "oh" and felt very sorry.
"Boss, take out all the remaining soybeans at home and soak them later."
"Mom, do you want to sell the tofu pudding too?"
"Let's try it at home today. If it tastes good, we'll sell it outside."
Boss Li was instantly happy. "Yes, let's try it first to see if it tastes good. What if we take it out casually and make someone sick?"
Qin Fangci slapped him and said, "Such nonsense!"
Really, you’re already predicting the bad news right from the start.
After finishing their morning homework, the children went to do their own work. Li Baisong quietly went into the room to prepare to pour wine.
Pan Lazi, who was watching the tofu being made, shrugged his nose and ran back into the house.
Li Bosong poured a full bowl of wine. Seeing Pan Lazi coming, he said first, "Mr. Pan, you agreed to it last night."
Pan Sloppy: "...I agree to give you a mouthful, not a whole bowl! Brat!"
The roar shook the sky.
"Shh, Mr. Pan, keep your voice down. I'm so scared that my hands are shaking and I'm about to spill the wine."
"Give it to me, let me have a sip first." Pan Laila stretched out his hand.
Li Baisong refused to give it to him. "Mr. Pan, a man should keep his word. Besides, I will only use this wine for a while and return it to you later."
Pan Sloppy: "...How do you use it? And return it?"
"Definitely." Li Baisong assured.
Pan Laita: “…” That’s all. It’s just a bowl of wine. I can return half a bowl, which means I gave away two sips. It’s not much.
Li Bosong successfully took the wine to the kitchen.
