After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

"Dad, it's so sweet! It tastes better than anything I've had before!"

Tuantuan didn't mind the heat and gulped down several large mouthfuls.

When she put down the bowl, there was a ring of white soy milk foam on her little mouth, like she had grown a white beard.

Lin Fan grabbed a tissue and wiped the foam from the corner of her mouth: "Drink slowly, there's still some in the pot."

Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting opposite, also picked up her bowl.

She often drank soy milk in the school cafeteria, and thought it was just watery residue with lots of added sugar for flavoring.

She took a small sip.

This is not one of those watery, diluted things made from soy milk powder at all.

It has a delicate and silky texture, with an intensely rich bean aroma that lingers on the palate. After swallowing, a subtle sweet aftertaste remains on the lips and teeth.

After taking a bite, my whole body felt warm.

"Brother Lin, this..." Su Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed at Lin Fan, her face full of shock. "This is so delicious! How did you make this soy milk? How come it's so thick?"

"The beans are good, they've just been simmered over low heat until thoroughly cooked." Lin Fan pulled out a chair next to him and sat down, his tone indifferent.

"This isn't just a simple matter of controlling the heat." Su Xiaoxiao took another big gulp, savoring the rich aroma in her mouth.

"I've never had such clean soy milk in my entire life. If we sold this in the morning with two fried dough sticks, our shop would be overwhelmed with customers."

"This takes a lot of time, let's see how it goes before adding it to the menu," Lin Fan replied casually.

Tuantuan finished the last drop of soy milk in her bowl and let out a small burp. A hint of rosy color finally returned to her pale face.

"Dad, I want more to drink." Tuantuan looked longingly at the thermos on the table.

Lin Fan reached out and took the thermos away. "You can't drink too much. Soy milk is good for the stomach, but if you drink a lot of water, how will you be able to eat dinner?"

Tuantuan licked her lips, her big eyes clearly showing that she still wanted more.

"But Daddy, it tastes so good! It makes my tummy feel warm. What are we having for dinner tonight?"

These past few days, in Su Qing's cold and impersonal villa, she hasn't even had a hot meal.

Now, she gets hungry just thinking about anything Lin Fan makes.

"Daddy made something good in the kitchen, it'll take a while to set." Lin Fan patted her head, keeping her in suspense.

"I guarantee it will be delicious. You can draw with Auntie Xiaoxiao for a while first, and you'll see when it's ready and served."

Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Tuantuan nodded vigorously, obediently picked up her red watercolor pen again, and continued coloring the little tiger in the picture book while lying on the table.

He looked up at the clock on the wall.

A while has passed since the braising liquid was added and the bluestone bricks were placed on top.

The heat and time used to press the tofu are the most crucial factors.

If the cooking time is too short, the water inside the tofu cannot be squeezed out, making it loose and easily broken; if the cooking time is too long, the water will be completely squeezed out, resulting in a tough and dry texture, turning into a piece of dry bean curd that is difficult to chew.

Lin Fan calculated that the time was just right, stood up and walked into the kitchen.

With a slight thought, he entered the system farm once again.

The rich aroma of soybeans still lingers in Tiangongfang.

Lin Fan walked to the solid wood table and looked at the square wooden mold.

The continuous "tick-tock" sound from the bottom gap has completely stopped.

The excess pale yellow acidic liquid has been completely squeezed out.

He reached out his hands and steadily moved the heavy square bluestone brick that was pressing down on top of the mold.

Next, the thick wooden board was lifted.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, reached out, and very gently peeled away the outer layer of pure cotton gauze.

As the gauze is removed, a square, perfectly shaped, white and smooth piece of traditional handmade tofu is revealed before your eyes.

The freshly formed tofu still emitted a faint wisp of steam. The surface was clearly imprinted with the fine mesh texture of gauze, and the edges were neat and crisp, without a trace of sagging.

Lin Fan extended his index finger and gently pressed it on the surface of the tofu.

It feels slightly cool to the touch, and the rebound force from the fingertips is soft yet firm, with the internal moisture locked in just the right amount.

This soft and tender texture is unmatched by any machine-made tofu on the market that has added gypsum powder or glucono-delta-lactone.

He took a small knife, cut off a small piece from the corner, and put it directly into his mouth.

Without adding any scallions or seasonings, the moment it enters your mouth, the rich and pure aroma of the golden snow soybeans bursts forth on your tongue.

It has an extremely delicate and smooth texture, as if it can melt directly in your mouth without chewing.

After swallowing, only a faint sweetness of grain remains on the lips and teeth, without any bitterness or dryness.

"It's done."

Just then, a crisp mechanical notification sound rang in Lin Fan's mind.

【Ding. 】

[System suggested retail price: 328 yuan/serving.]

Looking at the system panel in front of him, Lin Fan felt more confident.

The restaurant's menu definitely needs an update.

Although the daily turnover has been good recently, regular customers always want to try something different after eating there for a while.

This minced meat stuffed tofu dish is priced at 328 yuan, which is in line with Lin's Shop's consistent approach of offering affordable yet high-quality products.

Moreover, the tofu is soft and tender, which is perfect for whetting the appetite of Tuantuan, who just recovered from a fever.

Lin Fan didn't delay any longer. He took a clean, deep white porcelain basin and filled it with some filtered spiritual spring water.

Holding the bottom of the mold with both hands, carefully transfer the entire block of white tofu into the basin and soak it in water to keep it fresh.

Exit the farm.

Lin Fan carried the white porcelain basin out of the kitchen.

Hearing the noise, Su Xiaoxiao immediately leaned over and glanced into the basin.

"Wow, the tofu is so white!" Su Xiaoxiao sniffed and smelled an extremely fresh and pure bean aroma.

"These beans have such a wonderful flavor; you can tell just by the smell that the texture is completely different from what you buy at the market. Brother Lin, is this the good stuff you were talking about earlier?"

"Um."

Lin Fan placed the white porcelain basin steadily on the kitchen counter.

Tuantuan also curiously slid off the chair, ran to the countertop, and stood on tiptoe to look into the basin.

"Daddy, this white thing smells so good!" Tuantuan's little nose twitched twice as she smelled the aroma and couldn't help but swallow.

"This is called handmade tofu."

Lin Fan gently tucked a stray strand of hair that had fallen across Tuan Tuan's forehead behind her ear, his tone gentle.

"How about Dad makes you some stuffed tofu with minced meat?"

Upon hearing the words "minced meat stuffed tofu," Tuan Tuan's eyes instantly crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.

"Okay!" The little girl nodded vigorously, and her stomach made a soft "gurgling" sound in perfect cooperation.
