Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 81 Bean dregs cake

Luo Huiniang didn't understand, but she didn't ask any more, just looked at the iron pot while burning the fire.

Gu Jinli took two tablespoons of vinegar, put it in a bowl, added an appropriate amount of water, and prepared the vinegar for later use.

After two quarters of an hour, the soy milk in the pot boiled, and many small bubbles appeared. Gu Jinli stirred the soy milk anti-sticking pot with a wooden spoon and skimmed the foam little by little. After the foam was cleared, he said to Luo Huiniang : "Huiniang, take out the fire."

Luo Huiniang had been waiting for a long time, and when she heard this, she hurriedly pulled the burning firewood out of the stove and buried it in the dust at the bottom of the earthen stove.

She looked at the soy milk in the iron pot and asked Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, is this tofu? Why is it still water?"

Gu Jinli said, "Wait, wait for the temperature of the soy milk to drop by about [-]%, and then you can make bean curd with a bit of brine." She took a large pottery bowl, scooped a bowl of cooked soy milk out, left it to the family to drink, and began to wait. The temperature of the soy milk drops.

After waiting for half an hour, peel off the three bean skins and let them dry, pour the prepared vinegar water into the pot little by little, and stir slowly while pouring.

After a while, solidified bean curd appeared in the pot. After the bean curd and the water were completely separated, she stopped stirring.

"Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, is this done?" Luo Huiniang frowned and pointed to the bean curd in the pot, and said, "Is this tofu? It looks quite white, but it's so broken, how do you eat it?" It's better to eat stewed beans .

Gu Jinli said, "Don't worry, wait another quarter of an hour, these bean curds will get bigger, and then take out the bean curd and put it in a wooden box and compact it, and you can make tofu."

A quarter of an hour later, the bean curd really became bigger and bigger. Luo Huiniang was very surprised and pointed to the bean curd in the pot and said, "It, they actually change." It's amazing, how did Xiaoyu do it?

Gu Jinli was also satisfied when he looked at the solidified bean curd in the pot.

She had seen grandma make tofu in her last life, but the tofu made by grandma was ordered with brine.She didn't have brine, so she could only use vinegar water. I didn't think so, the tofu from this point was pretty good.

"Xiaoyu, the wooden box is ready for you." Gu Dashan is an experienced carpenter. After they boiled the soy milk, they also made the wooden box.

"I made three, is it enough? If it's not enough, Dad will make it for you."

After clearing the silt from the old well the day before yesterday, a few men went to cut trees nearby to make desks, chairs and cabinets. His family cut down three trees and put them in the yard. If they wanted a wooden box, they could do it anytime.

Gu Jinli looked at the three square, basket-sized wooden boxes, and said happily: "Dad, your craftsmanship is really good, the boxes are really well made."

There is no need for nails, direct mortise and tenon joints, and there is no gap in the interface. If this craftsmanship is placed in modern times, it will be a proper wood art master.

Gu Jinli took the wooden box, washed it twice, cut the burlap cloth for filtering the soy milk into three pieces, spread it on the wooden box, scooped the bean curd into the wooden box, covered it with the burlap cloth, and then pressed a wooden board, a large Stones, placed on mud bricks to control water.

A total of three wooden boxes were installed, all of which were placed in the yard.

Mrs. Cui and Grandma San were very curious. Everyone gathered around the wooden box and looked at the three wooden boxes and asked, "Is this tofu?"

Gu Jinli said, "When the water content of the bean curd is controlled, it can become tofu."

She suggested: "Let's eat tofu tonight, make a pan-fried spiced tofu, and put a little spicy on it, and it's time for dinner."

Mrs. Cui didn't know what she said about the method of spiced tofu, so she didn't ask in detail, she just left her to toss.

Gu Jinli took the opportunity to ask Mrs Cui for white noodles: "Mother, give me a few handfuls of white noodles, just a few handfuls, and I'll make bean dregs cake for you."

The five catties of soybeans produced four catties of bean dregs, and the bean dregs cake was enough for their family to eat for a day, so they could not be wasted.

Cui was a little distressed, but she still brought her a small half bowl of white noodles and a small dish of meat oil.This meat oil has just been refined this morning, and it is fragrant.

Gu Jinli felt very lucky.Although Gu Dashan and Cui Shi are buns, both of them dote on children very much. As long as it is innocuous, they will allow her to do it and will not stop her.

"Thank you mother, wait for the delicious bean dregs cake." She took the white noodles and meat oil, and took Luo Huiniang to the kitchen.Behind him are the third grandmother and the little tail brother Cheng.

The third grandmother made bean cakes before, but failed, so I wanted to see how Gu Jinli did it?Can it be done?

After Gu Jinli arrived in the kitchen, he poured the white noodles into the bean dregs several times, and stirred them evenly. Then he added the ground cumin, bay leaf powder, salt, chopped shallots, and half a spoon of meat oil to the bean dregs, and after stirring evenly, Let Luo Huiniang make a fire.

After the pot is hot, brush a thin layer of oil in the pot, put the palm-sized bean dregs cake in the pot, and fry it slowly on a low fire: "Huiniang, please use a low fire, not too much fire, Too big and it will be mushy."

"Oh." Luo Huiniang wasn't very good at cooking, but it was okay to set fire to it. She kept the fire under control and didn't let it get too big.

After frying for a quarter of an hour (15 minutes), the bean dregs cake was fried until golden on both sides and smelled fragrant.

The third grandmother looked at the bean dregs cake in the pot and was so happy: "This soybean can really be made into a cake. In the future, we don't have to eat stewed soybeans, we can eat bean cake." It's waste flour.

Brother Cheng stretched his neck to look at the bean dregs cake in the pot, and asked, "Second sister, is it cooked? Is it cooked?" He wanted to eat it.

Gu Jinli smiled: "Wait a little longer, it will be fine soon."

She cooked a little water in the pot, covered it with a wooden lid, and after the water in the pot evaporated to dryness, she put the bean dregs cake in the pot and put it on a plate, picked up a bean dregs cake, and after blowing it a little cool, handed it to Brother Cheng Son: "Eat it, be careful it's hot."

"Yeah!" Cheng Ge'er nodded heavily, took the bean dregs cake, took a bite, and his mouth was immediately filled with a strong fragrance, he smiled and said to Gu Jinli, "It's delicious, the second sister made it delicious. "

The third grandmother and Luo Huiniang also picked up a bean dregs cake and took a bite: "Well, it's really delicious. I didn't expect the cake made from bean dregs and flour to be so delicious."

Seeing that they were having a good time, Gu Jinli was also very happy, and continued to fry a new pot of bean dregs cake.

After the third grandma knew how to make the bean cake, she took the fried bean dregs cake and took Cheng Geer out of the kitchen, and took the bean dregs cake for the third grandpa, Gu Dashan, Cui Shi, Gu Jinan, and Gu Jinxiu to eat.

After a few people ate the bean cakes, they were all pleasantly surprised. They didn't expect that soybean dregs could make such delicious cakes.

"Fragrant, not astringent, it is several times stronger than eating stewed soybeans. In the future, we will eat this bean dregs cake as a staple food." The third grandfather said.

The third grandmother nodded in agreement: "These five pounds of beans yield about four pounds of bean dregs, and there are three boxes of tofu, which is more cost-effective than eating stewed soybeans."

"Yo, San Auntie, what are you eating? The smell has drifted to my house." Mrs. Chen brought Gu Dewang and Gu Defa to the courtyard of Gu Dashan's house and saw the golden bean dregs in the pottery bowl. After the cake, his eyes flashed green light, swallowing his saliva, he pushed Gu Dewang and Gu Defa in front of the third grandmother, and scolded, "Brother Wang, Brother Fa, you two bastards who don't know how to behave, you are still doing it in a daze. What the heck, call the third grandmother, the third grandfather, Uncle Dashan, Aunt Dashan."
