Chapter 432 Unforgettable Memories

"Haha, Xiaofeng made tofu today?"

The old man got the news from nowhere, knowing that Zhang Feng made tofu at home, so he came over with his wife to take a look. The tofu made in the countryside is different from the one sold in the city.

Nowadays, tofu in big cities is almost mechanized. In order to make tofu more white and tender, unscrupulous businessmen will add some whitening chemicals. Such tofu not only tastes bad, but also poses a great safety hazard.

"Yes, old man, make a pot of tofu and prepare for the New Year!" Hearing the old man's laughter, Zhang Feng put down the tongs and stood up quickly.

In Moon Lake, every year during the Chinese New Year, almost every household will push a pot of tofu, which costs 30 yuan a time, and make fresh tofu into dried tofu, or fry it into dried tofu, so that it can be preserved for a long time and brought home When you have guests, you can use them to entertain guests.

Although the transportation is convenient at this time, and there is no shortage of vegetables in the village, it has become a custom in the village to push a pot of tofu during the New Year. Everyone has formed the habit of pushing tofu during the New Year, just like making rice cakes, almost indispensable.

"Okay! Just make tofu yourself! Xiaofeng will share a few pieces with the old man!!" Seeing the steaming soy milk in the pot, the old man was full of smiles.

At the same time, I also remembered my childhood memories. At that time, the material was poor, and almost every family was short of food and clothing. Every year during the Chinese New Year, it was a very happy thing to be able to push a pot of tofu.

Every time the adults cook tofu, the children will stare at the soy milk in the pot eagerly. This is why the adults will always shake their heads with a smile, and then serve everyone a bowl of hot soy milk with some brown sugar crumbs At the end, stir it, the taste is fragrant and sweet, it is simply delicious in the world.

"No problem, my family can't eat so much!!" Zhang Feng had such a plan in the first place, so he readily agreed.

"Hehe, thank you so much. I will make some fermented bean curd. It is very good for dinner." The old man was very happy, smiling like a child.

"It's really great. I'll teach you to learn more." Zhang Feng said in surprise. It would be great if there is a chef like the old man to teach.

Although my cooking skills are good, the old man has been a chef for a lifetime, and he doesn't know how to cook any kind of food. In addition to all kinds of delicious dishes, he is very good at all kinds of snacks and even seasonings. This kind of experience is not what he is now. What Zhang Feng possesses requires the accumulation of time and the precipitation of years.

Grandma Liu smiled, watching the two of them chatting, and knocking the foam out of the pot with a spoon. The older generation is versatile, capable of writing and martial arts, and knows all kinds of work in the countryside very well.

"Xiaofeng, you can put the sour soup. Where is your sour soup?" After cooking for a while, the soy milk became thicker and thicker, and it was time to order some tofu.

Ordering tofu is the most important step in making tofu. We often hear that tofu is ordered with brine, and the brine is the key to the formation of tofu.

In addition to the sour soup, there are other types of brine, such as gypsum. If the gypsum is not handled well, it has a spicy taste and is easy to break.The tofu ordered in sour soup not only tastes good, but also has good toughness and is easier to taste.

"It's on the table!"

"Well, this sour soup is quite sour! It's delicious!" Grandma Liu dipped her finger in a little bit, tasted it, and was immediately full of praise.Because only good brine can make good tofu.

Grandma Liu is extremely skillful in her movements. Obviously, she also made tofu when she was young, and it seems that she has made tofu more than once.

"Wow! Grandma Liu is really amazing!" At some point, the little girl ran in again, and was very surprised when she saw how Grandma Liu ordered tofu. She didn't expect that the old ladies from the city were so powerful.

"Hehe, when we went to the mountains and went to the countryside, we didn't do anything, and some lesbians could plow the fields!" Grandma Liu said with a smile, obviously very happy.

"Ah, Grandma Liu, have you ever been an educated youth?" The little girl was startled and asked curiously,
"Of course, I only met your Grandpa Liu when I went to the countryside to be an educated youth." Grandma Liu smiled sweetly. Thinking about the days at that time, although it was very difficult, it was also memorable and unforgettable. I will never forget it in my life.

"Hee hee, Grandma Liu, can you tell me about what happened between you and Grandpa Liu back then?" the little girl asked gossipingly.

"Hehe, back then your grandpa Liu lived in the small village where I was an educated youth..." Grandma Liu smiled and slowly told the little girl about the encounter between the two back then.

Back then, Grandpa Liu was an honest man. When he saw the girl from the city for the first time, his face turned red to the neck, which made everyone laugh.

However, Grandpa Liu is hard-working and willing to help others. Once Grandma Liu sprained her foot while working, it was the dormitory where he supported Grandma Liu.

Ever since, the two got to know each other by accident, and slowly developed to the present. After the change, Grandma Liu was admitted to university and became a teacher, and Grandpa Liu also went to the city to become an apprentice chef. He opened his own restaurant, which is now known as Yelang Restaurant in the whole province.

It can be said that the two elders met in the infancy, and they never left each other.

…………

In a blink of an eye, two days passed

It is not far from New Year's Eve, only a short ten days.

Therefore, every household in the village is busy preparing new year's goods, killing new year's pigs, cured bacon, stuffing sausages, pushing tofu, making rice cakes, and preparing all kinds of delicious things.

This year is an unprecedented harvest year for the villagers of Moon Lake. In this short period of half a year, everyone's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Under the leadership of Zhang Feng, everyone planted vegetables, sold fruits, and dug matsutake. Everything was a way to make a lot of money. In just half a year, the villagers' income almost doubled.

In the past, everyone worked hard for a year, but they only got three melons and two dates. If they could earn [-] to [-] yuan a year, they would have to burn incense. It was simply, God bless.

But this year, although everyone is still farming, thanks to the seeds and medicine provided by Zhang Feng, and good sales channels, everyone's income has miraculously reached 30 million.

This is 30 to [-], which is a huge sum for the villagers. Before this, the income was unimaginable.

Therefore, this year's Spring Festival, the village is even more lively. Everyone is smiling, their faces are full of red, and their spirits are surprisingly good.

After earning money, everyone is more willing to buy new year's goods. All kinds of tobacco, alcohol and beverages that people were reluctant to part with in the past are sold in boxes and boxes to take home.

The little kids in the village have bulging purses, and the business of Uncle Er Niu's canteen has improved a lot every day.
