Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 238 Everything Will Be There (Part [-])

"I just went to the town to deliver tofu the next day. I sold the tofu and brought some vegetables to entertain them."

Yang Ruoqing said.

There is a rule in Changping Village that buying a field is a great joy.

The buyer has to organize a table of wine and food to entertain the middleman and witnesses, and also has to pay a certain amount of intermediate fees to the middleman.

People with good etiquette will give red envelopes to middlemen and witnesses as a token of gratitude.

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Okay, remember to order some restaurants, no matter how good the dishes are, you need wine to cheer you up."

"Okay, I've remembered it all. Then let's soak the soybeans first, and if we have time today, let's make a batch first."

Here, the mother and daughter just made an agreement, and over there, Luo Fengtang came out of Yang Huazhong's room.

"Third Aunt, Qing'er, I'm going home first."

He greets this way.

Sun turned around and said to Luo Fengtang: "Tang Yazi, go home and tell your uncle that you will come to my house for lunch at noon the next day."

Let me say hello first, and I will invite you again the day after tomorrow. This is the etiquette of hospitality.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Hey, I will tell my uncle."

Then his gaze fell on Yang Ruoqing again: "Qing'er, then I'll go home first, and I'll come back the next morning."

"Well, it's done!"

……

In the room, Mrs. Sun looked at Yang Ruoqing's soaked soybeans and was surprised.

"Qing'er, why are you soaking so many soybeans this trip?" Mrs. Sun asked.

Usually, ten catties of soybeans are soaked, and fifty catties of tofu are made and sent to restaurants in the town.

"I'm afraid there are about twenty catties in this bucket?" Sun asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "In addition to making tofu this trip, I also want to make some tofu. There are more styles and more income!"

Sun's face was full of novelty, "Success, mother will help you that night!"

Soon it was night.

After washing Xiaoan and hurriedly sending her back to the house to sleep, Yang Ruoqing and Mrs. Sun both came to the kitchen to make tofu.

Yang Huazhong also came.

The man said: "You girls have made tofu so many times, and I have eaten a lot of bean dregs tofu. I have never seen how this tofu is made with my own eyes!"

Sun said: "Your leg is recovering, it's cold on the ground late at night."

The man shook his head: "It's okay, I'm in a wheelchair!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Mother, don't worry, when it's late at night, bring some clothes to cover your legs and you'll be fine."

"Besides, let's grind twenty catties of soybeans tonight and make a plate of dried tofu first."

"The rest of the soybean milk, I will make tofu tomorrow night!"

The family got busy.

After making tofu so many times, both Sun Shi and Da'an have become quite proficient.

The two of them helped Yang Ruoqing grind the beans and cook the soy milk, doing it calmly and neatly.

Yang Huazhong beside him was also full of novelty.

When the soybean milk in the two large pots boiled, Daan turned and left the stove to go outside.

Yang Huazhong asked: "It's pitch black outside, what is he doing out there?"

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Watch out!"

Take the wind?

The man can't laugh or cry.

Immediately remembering the last time Mr. Liu said that he wanted to learn how to make tofu, the man was relieved.

"This kid is really cautious, for fear that his craftsmanship will be leaked." He said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded. Isn't that right? This younger brother is very clever!

Sun, who was sitting at the door of the stove, said: "In the future, we will build a new house, especially for making tofu. This small stove is too small and not very tight."

"Well, I can't turn around when I put this tofu door frame around." Yang Huazhong also said.

"I bought all the money for the field this trip, and I have two taels of silver left on hand." Sun continued.

"Buying rice, grain, and vegetables can last for two months. But building a house is too far behind!" She sighed softly.

Yang Huazhong also felt the same, "But the land is the foundation of our farmers, and it is good to buy more."

Over there, Yang Ruoqing, who was busy ordering stew, pursed her lips and smiled.

"Father, mother, don't worry, there will be fields and new houses, and our life will get better and better!"

"Well, as long as people's brains are not stupid and their hands and feet are diligent, everything will be possible!" Yang Huazhong also nodded heavily.

After the cooking was finished, Da'an came back.

Yang Ruoqing and Mrs. Sun worked together to scoop the tofu brains into the tofu moulds.

Sun sighed: "Tang Yazi's hand is really ingenious. With this mold, it really saves a lot of trouble!"

Yang Huazhong caressed the wheelchair sitting under him, and sighed: "He also beat this wheelchair. That kid is really not bad. Even if he doesn't hunt, he can make a living with this woodworking skill!"

The tofu nao was scooped up amidst the couple's compliments to Luo Fengtang.

The gauze is folded in half, and a door panel is pressed on it to squeeze out the moisture in the tofu.

The next step is to wait.

Yang Ruoqing put caramel on the bowls of tofu nao scooped out in advance, and served them to her parents and younger brother respectively.

"I'm only halfway through, and I'll have to work again later, drink a bowl of tofu to refresh myself!" she said.

"Sister, why don't you drink by yourself?" Da'an asked.

"I'm losing weight!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Mrs. Sun shot Yang Ruoqing a look: "You're talking stupid again!"

Da An said with a serious face: "Sister, you are much thinner now than before, so there is no need to lose weight. The one who really should lose weight is my sister-in-law, she is so fat!"

"Da'an, what are you talking about? Sister-in-law is your elder!" Sun yelled at Da'an in a low voice, then turned to look at Yang Huazhong.

Yang Huamei is the baby bump of the old Yang family, and all five brothers dote on her.

Fortunately, Yang Huazhong was drinking tofu nao in a bowl, as if he didn't hear it.

Da'an secretly stuck out his tongue, picked up the bowl and quickly drank the tofu nao.

While waiting for the tofu to be squeezed, Yang Ruoqing was not idle.

She brought two wooden basins, and put soy sauce, salt, tea leaves, and some seasonings for cooking that were limited at home.

Finally, pour boiling hot water into it and set it aside.

"Qing'er, what is this water for?" Sun asked.

"Brine, it's used to make brine sauce." Yang Ruoqing said.

She turned and brought back dried chili and caramel.

Shred the dried chilies and put them in one of the wooden basins.

Caramel was put into another wooden basin.

"Later, let's soak the dried tofu in this brine, and the next morning, it will almost be completely delicious."

Yang Ruoqing explained to the family next to her while waiting for the brine.

Mrs. Sun nodded: "My Qing'er has a good idea, hey, I guess the tofu over there is almost pressed?"

Yang Ruoqing went over to touch it a few times, and said, "If you're making tofu, you can peel it off and cut into pieces now. However, what we want is dried tofu, and we have to squeeze the water out!"

As she spoke, she picked up the stones that had been prepared on the side, and added another stone to the pressing board.

After a while, she added another piece to the top.

Tofu itself is fragile, and adding it all at once can easily break them.

The addition of this weight has to be done gradually.
