Chapter 27
"Yes." Lotus nodded.This mother-in-law understands her more and more now.But I didn't expect no one in this world to make this, even tofu came out.But from what my mother-in-law and the others said, she can guess that people here think that the smelly food should not be eaten. This is generally the case, but this tofu is another matter.

Father was calmer, and asked Lotus about the specific process and how to make fermented bean curd and stinky tofu.

Lotus thought for a while and explained to them: "Both fermented bean curd and stinky tofu are made of tofu."

"Isn't that the same thing that will go bad?" Mrs. Zhang interrupted her when she heard that she was still making tofu.

"That's not the same. I said that the fermented bean curd and stinky tofu are made to stink."

"Ah, can you eat the stinky stuff?" All three members of the Wu family made surprise voices, even Father Wu, who has always been relatively calm.

Lotus smiled mysteriously: "Of course, this one has to be smelly. The smellier the better."

"But I'm worried that people here won't be used to eating it. No matter how delicious it is, no one will buy it." Wu Shan worriedly raised a suggestion, fearing that it would hurt He Hua's self-esteem.

Mrs. Zhang was also very happy at first, and felt the same when she heard it.The smell of stinky tofu is very unpleasant, and I haven't seen anyone make it to eat.

This is also the reason why the lotus thinks about it. Stinky tofu can't be a child, can't it, two consecutive thoughts will not work.Hey, it was so difficult to make a fortune in ancient times?Why does she look so simple when she sees others.

Wu Jiafan said, "The fermented bean curd should not smell bad." Seeing that everyone was silent, he only opened his mouth. Who told him that he didn't understand anything, and he was responsible for the mistake.

Lotus's eyes lit up, yes, why did he stumble into a misunderstanding.If stinky tofu is not good, just make fermented bean curd. "Yes, we just make fermented bean curd. Although the method is to wait for the tofu to become moldy, the taste is very fragrant. The most important thing is that it can be stored for half a year without any problem."

"That's great, we'll just do this. What do you think, dad?" Mrs. Zhang became lively again when she heard that it was feasible.

"Since you think it's feasible, let's make this fermented bean curd. Lotus, do you know how to do it?"

Lotus laughed, she had never done it.I just read on the Internet that fermented bean curd is made by fermenting tofu and then adding seasoning.A little embarrassed to speak! "Isn't my mother good at making tofu? The next step is to wait for them to ferment. I can prepare some seasonings. By the way, the peppers I picked can also come in handy. I will definitely be able to make unique tofu milk."

In any case, after thinking of a solution, the family finally felt a lot better.After dinner, the soaking time of soybeans is about the same.They started to make tofu. He Hua didn't know how to do it, but she watched carefully from the sidelines.

Putting the raw red gypsum into the fire and roasting in proportion is a key process, and the roasting degree of the gypsum must be mastered (you can lightly break the gypsum with a hammer and see that it has just burned through the heart).If the gypsum is too raw, it is not easy to use; if it is too cooked, not only can it not be made into tofu, but the soy milk also smells like chicken excrement.

After the soybeans are soaked, take them out, grind them at a ratio of 6 kg of water per kilogram of soybeans, put the ground slurry in a bag (made of tofu cloth), squeeze the mouth of the bag tightly, and squeeze out the soybean milk.

Boil the pulp and order the pulp.Pour the squeezed raw pulp into the pot and boil without covering the pot, and skim off the foam on the surface while cooking.Grind the burned gypsum into powder, mix it with a bowl of water to make a gypsum slurry, pour it into the soy milk just scooped out of the pot, and stir it gently with a spoon. After a few minutes, the soy milk will condense into tofu flowers.

At this point, the tofu is basically finished. You just need to wrap it in a cloth and press it to make fresh and tender tofu.Since it takes time to do this, Dad has to go to work tomorrow, and Wu Jiafan has to go to school, the two of them went to bed, leaving only He Hua and Zhang to work.Until most of the night.Tofu is completely finished.

After doing all this, both of them are exhausted.Who said that this project is too big, more than 30 catties of soybeans have been made into a hundred catties of tofu.

He Hua fell asleep as soon as she fell on the bed, and she felt called by Mrs. Zhang before she fell asleep for a while.While pushing her, Mrs. Zhang said, "Lotus, get up quickly. Let's go sell tofu."

Helpless, Lotus had to get up.After washing my face with cold water, I recovered a little.Simply made some breakfast.After that, one of them carried a bucket of tofu and followed Mrs. Zhang to the town to sell tofu.

The result was just as they imagined, those who bought tofu went to the usual place to buy.In order to sell these tofu, Zhang had to sell at a lower price than others, which made him lose money.

Lotus sees that it can't go on like this.Selling it like this is better than taking it home and eating it yourself.It can be eaten when it is made into fermented bean curd.Bing persuaded Zhang: "We can't lower the price any more. If we really can't, let's just make fermented bean curd."

Mrs. Zhang is still hesitant! "Is this possible? Although the things you made before are good, it is not certain whether they will be sold or not."

"Mother, you still don't believe me, I have plenty of ways to sell them," Lotus promised.

"All right"

With Mrs. Zhang's approval, the two came back carrying unsold tofu.

After returning, they started to make fermented bean curd.It is very simple to make.Cut the washed tofu into small pieces, soak them in salt water, and steam them in a pot.Because there are a lot of tofu, I had to make it several times.I am afraid that the tofu will be chopped.So be careful when cutting the lotus.

After steaming, put the tofu cubes in a warm and dark place to ferment.Since the separation, the family room has been vacated, and it is more than enough to spare a room for cold tofu.It's hotter now.About three or four days will be enough to let people go.

After going back and forth several times, I finally cut all the tofu, steamed them, and put them together to wait for fermentation.

While this is done.The lotus took out some hot peppers and ground them into powder. To be honest, this is really a very difficult task.That spicy energy has not smoked her yet.

She took out the grinder and sat in the yard, grinding Chaotian pepper vigorously.until they are ground into powder.It made her teary and runny.When Mrs. Zhang saw the situation, she hid in her room and could not come out.

When Wu Jiafan came home from school, he saw her grinding something, smelling the spicy nose.Seeing her tears flying, she was immediately happy.

Lotus was not happy when she saw him gloating.Catch him: "Come and help me."

Wu Jiafan turned his mind and refused: "No, I still have to do the homework assigned by my husband."

"Write it later!" She didn't like him.

Wu Jiafan was dragged by her to the place where she grinds peppers.The smell made him uncomfortable, and he shrugged his nose uncomfortably.Glancing at the red powder that came out of the grinder: "There is only one grinder, how can two people use it!"
