Chapter 273 273. Try
The lunch is hearty, not only meat, but also chicken, and scrambled eggs with green onion, vegetables and soup together with six dishes.

The meal was very comfortable, and the food was well cooked. Gu Lan praised the meal, and the village chief's wife never closed her mouth when she was happy. She was happier than when she married her daughter-in-law.

Of course, wine is indispensable for a meal, and Gu Lan and the village head Li Youzhi both drank a lot.

Thanks to the low alcohol concentration in this era and her drinking capacity came along with it, she didn't get drunk.

Gu Lan was not drunk, but the village head and two sons slept for half a day after sending Gu Lan out.

After returning home, he took his son to take a nap. Because he was thinking about tofu, Gu Lan got up after a while.

Called Jinbao Jindan to guard An An who was still awake, and was about to try making tofu.

The beans were soaked in advance last night, and they were only about ten catties.

I have done it a few times after I was bored after retirement, but the situation was different. At that time, there was ready-made brine. You only need to boil the soy milk into bean curd and add the brine, stir slowly and pour it into the mold for compaction.

But now there is no brine, and she doesn't want to use gypsum, after all, the tofu made from gypsum still tastes bad.

The only choice is white vinegar. Fortunately, there is white vinegar in this world, otherwise Gulan really doesn't have many choices.

She didn't need to do the preparations, but the steward Jin had already made arrangements, and only waited for the master's order to start grinding the beans.

The stone mill was pushed up by Laitian, who was the strongest and most vigorous.

In the beginning, Gulan did it herself, and no matter how good she said, it would be better to let others see it with their own eyes to deepen their impression.

With the push of the stone mill, she put in the soaked soybeans and added a little water at the same time, and at the same time, a wooden barrel for receiving the juice was placed under the mill tank.

The graphite turns round and round, and the milky white soybean milk slowly flows into the wooden barrel from the groove, exuding a strong soybean fragrance.

Cai Yu, the steward of Jin, and Jin Zhu, Jin Shi, looked at the milky white juice flowing out of the groove, feeling very novel and refreshed their cognition.

They are cooks, but they never knew that milky white juice can be produced after soaking soybeans, which is really an eye-opener.

It's really ashamed to think about it. They are still cooks who deal with the kitchen all day long, and they didn't realize that soybeans can be eaten like this.

I don't know how the master's head grows, how come there are so many whimsical ideas, and how can he come up with such novel foods.

What they witnessed with their own eyes at this moment admired their master.

At the same time, I am also very fortunate that the master bought them. These servants are not luckier than meeting a good master.

After Gu Lan added about one or two catties of soybeans, he handed them over to Jinshi who had been studying.

In short, a small amount of water must be added during the grinding process, step by step.

It takes half an hour to make ten catties of beans. During this period, you have to grind them continuously.

Ten catties of beans and water are used to fill two wooden barrels of soymilk that have been filtered out, and then boil and order tofu.

So everyone followed the master into the kitchen.

The two stoves turned on the fire at the same time and cooked at the same time. Under her guidance, Cai Yu and Jin Zhu kept stirring the cauldron.

Then she mixed vinegar water according to the weight of soy milk, and explained while adjusting, especially about the ratio of vinegar water.

After the soy milk is boiled, continue to boil for 5 minutes on medium-low heat, which is the time for half a cup of tea, then stop the fire and let it stand for 2 minutes.

Then pick out the top layer of bean skin, and then slowly push the adjusted vinegar water away with a spoon, and put it in little by little. Add and slowly solidify.

After ordering everything, cover the lid and let it stand for 2 minutes, so that the bean curd will solidify better.

Then turn on the low heat for about 2 minutes, the water and the bean curd are separated, the water is water, and the bean curd is the bean curd, then turn off the heat, take out the water with a spoon, and the rest are all bean curd.

She didn't hide anything during the whole process, and she still explained while doing it. Cai Yu and the others were also studying hard.

Next, Butler Jin brought over the mold covered with burlap, left a small pot of bean curd at the request of the master, and poured the rest into the mold, flattened it with a spoon, and then covered it with a piece of thick burlap. Linen, cover the lid, and then press it with a heavy object, and it will take about half an hour to press it.

This is the method of tofu, and the method of dried tofu is not much different. The cooked bean curd is poured into a special mold covered with burlap, wrapped and placed on a flat place, and at least two of them are pressed with a heavy object. It's almost half an hour.

If you want dried tofu to be delicious, you must have enough time.

As for the bean curd, it is simpler, that is, the layer of bean curd that was peeled off earlier. You only need to let the boiled soy milk stand for a little time each time to peel off the skin one by one, and quickly dry it to make delicious bean curd.

But Gu Lan is not going to make dried tofu or bean curd today.

Seeing the tofu Gulan being tightly pressed by a big stone, he laughed with satisfaction.

There is no problem in the whole process, if there are no accidents, it will be done.

Next is the taste.

Looking at the pot of bean curd that was put out in advance and placed on the stove, Gu Lan couldn't help it.

"Cai Yu, bring some bowls, some more."

"Okay," while speaking, Cai Yu quickly placed the bowl on the stove.

Then everyone saw that the master filled the remaining bean curd into bowl after bowl, and then sprinkled sugar and sesame oil on it.

Can you still eat like this, but can you just fill up so much that you can eat?
Just when they were puzzled, they heard the master say that one bowl per person, and then they realized that there were theirs in it.

Quickly thanked the master, they also wanted to know the taste of bean curd, and they ate a bowl each.

After taking a sip, his eyes lit up one after another, and the movements in his hands accelerated involuntarily.

Gu Lan was very satisfied with everyone's responses, and knew that no one could resist the taste of bean curd.

Then she served a bowl herself, in fact, she prefers to eat salty bean curd, but right now she can only satisfy her craving for sweet ones first.

Take a bite, um, this is the taste, although it is not salty, but it is also full of happiness.

Really good.

"Father, what do you eat?"

When Gu Lan was squinting and moved, he heard his son's voice in his ear.

Seeing his son's piercing eyes, Gu Lan felt guilty for a moment. He forgot about his son when he just thought about it, and didn't even notice him coming in.

He quickly put the bowl on the stove, subconsciously checked his son's clothes, and then heaved a sigh of relief, not only did he put on all the clothes he had taken off, but even the buckles were fastened properly.

Seeing that it should be Jinbao Jindan who helps to wear it together, An An can dress herself, but it still doesn't work.

"Father..." An An tugged Gu Lan again, feeling a little unhappy about her non-answer.

Smiling apologetically at his son, Gu Lan hurriedly said, "This... Daddy eats sweet bean curd."

As he spoke, Gu Lan took the bowl off the stove and showed it to his son.

Then the little guy saw something white and thin like custard in his eyes.
