The farm girl has a field and is super powerful

Chapter 557 Fish-Flavored Tofu
If you buy meat, you can buy it in the next village.

As for the white flour, Bai Yi asked the people around him to buy it.

Besides, Bai Jinli brought all the seasonings she needed with her.

Because I haven't cooked for a long time, my hands are itchy now.

Yan Shi watched Bai Jinli go to the kitchen, and came over to help.

Originally, Mrs. Li also wanted to come and join in the fun, but Bai Jinli politely persuaded her to go out.

In the kitchen, Yan made noodles, and she made dumpling stuffing.

After everything that needed to be prepared was ready, Bai Jinli called Mrs. Li and asked her to help make dumplings.

When a few people were sitting around the yard making dumplings, someone knocked on the door soon.

The person who knocked on the door was Shi Yu, the mother of the little girl who had just returned home with a basket.

When Yu was cooking at home, she saw her daughter running into the kitchen, saying that she had something good to try.

Seeing her girl's fair hands and face, and pinching a seemingly expensive snack in her hand, Mrs. Yu asked her what was going on.

The little girl said that she had just gone out to help people dig wild vegetables in exchange for it, and she insisted on giving it to Mrs Yu to taste.

Mrs. Yu tasted it and thought it tasted very good. Then she heard the little girl said that she drank delicious sour plum soup in the yard of Bai Jinli's house and used fragrant soap, so she knew that her girl had met a nobleman. .

So many expensive snacks were exchanged for a basket of cheap wild vegetables, Yu Shi felt embarrassed.

After thinking about it, he cut a piece of tofu from home and sent it over under the guidance of the little girl.

It was only after she came that she realized that this place is where Master Bai lives.

But it’s all here, and we can’t do nothing and go back.

After standing at the door and hesitating for a few seconds, Mrs. Yu knocked on the door. Fortunately, Master Bai was not there, so she was a little relieved.

After she explained her intentions, Bai Jinli immediately put down the dumplings she was making, stood up and said.

"Auntie, you are so polite. Your little girl is smart and hardworking, and she has helped me a lot. Those things are just some snacks, not worth much."

At first glance, Mrs. Yu was an authentic and hardworking woman, but she just smiled and insisted on passing the tofu over.

"Miss, I made this tofu myself, and it's not worth much. I really want to thank you for being so kind to my Huan'er."

"That's fine, auntie, I'll accept this tofu, thank you!"

Hearing what she said, Bai Jinli took the white and tender tofu away.

"Miss, you are busy, so I won't bother you." Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then took the little girl's hand and left.

Bai Jinli watched the figures of their mothers disappear at the door, and couldn't help muttering: "This man is so polite!"

"But this tofu looks really good. Mother, sister-in-law, why don't you make dumplings first, and I'll make this tofu."

"Hey? Make tofu, what do you want to make?" Li Po asked casually.

"Mom, I'll make fish-flavored tofu, what do you think?"

"Okay, do you need help?" Mrs. Li asked.

After Tianyi sent someone to buy the necessary things and came back, he told his family that he was going out to inspect the fields, and asked everyone to go back for a lunch break by the way, so he was not here at the moment.

On the other hand, the boy next to Bai Yiyi was helping Bai Jinli feed the horses in the backyard.

"Mother, it's okay, I'll call my elder brother's servant to come over and help light the fire. You can do your work."

After Bai Jinli finished speaking, she called Bai Yi's servant over.

Fish-flavored tofu is actually very easy to make, as long as the juice can be adjusted well, the taste will not be bad.

After Bai Jinli cut the tofu into small pieces, he beat three more eggs and stirred them well, then wrapped the cut tofu in the eggs.

Then he poured oil into the pot, and ordered Bai Yi's servant to start lighting the fire.

After the oil was hot, she put the tofu into the pan and started to fry it. After the tofu was golden, she took it out.

Then there is the sauce, three spoons of soy sauce, one spoon of vinegar, and one spoon of sugar.

Then pour oil into the hot pan, sauté minced ginger and garlic until fragrant, add a spoonful of her homemade sauce, stir fry the aroma together, pour in the fried tofu and stir fry, pour half a bowl of water, and then pour in the prepared in advance juice.

When the frying was almost done, she poured the last bowl of starch water into the juice, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and then took it out of the pan.

A burst of fragrance wafted over, and the originally white and tender tofu looked very attractive at this moment, like pieces of delicious meat.

The boy squatting beside the fire was stunned, and couldn't help sniffing in mid-air vigorously.

It was the first time he had seen someone make tofu like this, and it looked very delicious.

After Bai Jinli's tofu was ready, she found a bowl and put the tofu out of the pan, and then made room for Yan to start making dumplings.

Taking advantage of this time, she used the remaining wild vegetables to make a salad with wild vegetables.

Made a few Jerusalem artichokes with a quick mix.

When making the last Jerusalem artichoke dish, Bai Jinli ordered the boy to call Bai Yi back for dinner.

After her dishes were ready and served on the table, the steaming dumplings were also out of the pan.

As soon as Yan put the dumplings on the table, she saw the old man Bai who was chatting outside came back with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Mr. Bai's figure appear, Mrs. Li couldn't help snorting.

"You, do you have a dog's nose? I didn't see you when I was busy just now. No, you showed up just after the meal was ready. You really know how to smell."

"Hehehe, coincidence, coincidence." Old Master Bai smiled and went to wash his hands.

It was at this time that Bai Yi also came back from the outside with his servant.

"Father, mother, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, come and eat!"

"Hey, what is this dish? It tastes really good." Mr. Bai stuffed a piece of tofu into his mouth, and then sighed.

"This is fish-flavored tofu. The tofu was brought by others during cooking."

"What? Tofu? This doesn't taste like it. It's delicious!"

"Just tofu is delicious? Don't dumplings taste good?" asked Mrs. Li.

"It's delicious, and the dumplings are also very delicious."

After the old man Bai finished speaking, he stuffed a dumpling into it very cooperatively, and ate it with relish.

The whole family gathered around the table to eat, and during the day, Yiyi squatted outside the kitchen holding a bowl and eating.

These days, I have been eating like the people in the village, and my mouth is very light.

The boy felt extremely happy after eating such delicious dumplings, tofu, and cold salad.

After eating, Mrs. Li insisted on instructing Mr. Bai to wash the dishes.

He also said that they were all in charge of cooking, and as the head of the family, Mr. Bai couldn't do nothing, just pat his ass and leave when he was full.

In the past, it was Yan's responsibility to cook and wash the dishes, but now it's different, Yan is the princess anyway.

Although she has no airs at all when she is at home, it does not mean that others can ignore her identity and order her to do things at will.

Mrs. Li is a rough person, yes, but not a stupid one.

She knew that her eldest son would have to live a good life with Yan's daughter-in-law in the future, and she also knew that in the capital now, she should not be too talkative, so since she came to the capital, she never ordered Yan's.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really not good.

But seriously, it's not a big problem now.

After all, their family is big enough, each has its own yard and things to do, so they don't go to see each other if they have nothing to do.

Anyway, distance creates beauty!

In this way, the relationship between them has become more and more harmonious.

In the end, old man Bai still didn't bother to wash the dishes.

Because the boy from Tianyi stepped forward very proactively and urgently, and contracted the job of washing dishes.

Seeing that Bai Yiyi was still sitting in the yard, Bai Jinli casually asked about the little girl and Yu Shi just now.

After all, there were five portions of food she sent out, and only the little girl's mother, Mrs. Yu, sent tofu, which is really surprising.

"Are you talking about Yu Huan and their mother and daughter? Yu's family is the only one who can make tofu in the village."

"What happened to them?" Bai Jinli asked.

"The little girl's name is Yu Huan. She is over five years old this year. Her father, Yu Lian, was taken away by conscripts before she was born, and he hasn't returned until now."

"Five or six years have passed. Everyone said that Yu Lian had died in battle long ago, so he couldn't come back. Yu Huan's mother, Mrs. Yu, didn't believe it. She always believed that her husband was not dead, but he was still on the front line."

"I heard that for these years, Mrs. Yu took the little girl Yu Huan to live together. Life was very difficult, but Mrs. Yu insisted on supporting her."

"Fortunately, the head of this village is reasonable. He often asks his wife to take care of the mother and daughter in secret, and most people in the village also take care of them."

"Ms. Yu is a person who knows how to measure. She knows that everyone takes care of her, so when selling tofu in the village, the price is always the lowest."

"But no matter what, the Yu family is a woman's family after all, and it's not easy to support a family. They live a very tight life on weekdays."

"So that's it. Brother, five years ago, there was a war in Daqi State?" Bai Jinli nodded slightly.

"Well, the Daqi Kingdom has not been peaceful before. It has been fighting intermittently for several years, and it is only in recent years that it has stabilized."

"What about those who were conscripted to the front? It's been so many years, haven't they come back yet?" Bai Jinli asked.

"The people in the village who were conscripted away with Yu Huan's father either heard the news of their death, or they had already returned home. Only Yu Huan's father has not been heard from."

"Everyone said that he died in battle. Otherwise, after so many years, how could he not go home? That's why Mrs. Yu has always firmly believed that her man will definitely come back."

"Hey, let me see, that person probably has a lot of bad luck, otherwise, how could he not go home?" Speaking of this, Bai Yiyi couldn't help but sighed.

"That's not necessarily the case. What if Yu Huan's father really didn't die, but was too brave in the war that year, was accidentally injured, and then lost his memory, so he has been guarding the front line? Maybe they still have I got an official position!" Bai Jinli couldn't help but said.

"Little sister, how do you know this?"

"According to the routine, isn't it all like this?" Bai Jinli muttered.

"Ah? What did you say?"
