A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Just after entering Jizhou city in the twelfth lunar month, news came that Chen Xiancheng and those officials in Fucheng who accepted bribes were severely punished.

The beheaded beheaded, the exiled exiled, even the family members were implicated by them, and ended up in a miserable end for the rest of their lives.

An Chuxia sighed, maybe not all of those family members were bad people, but they did use the money they got from raiding the people and oppressing the people.

Shaking her head, abandoning these things that are beyond her control, she only has the right to manage her own three-acre land at this time.

Let the people of Wei County gradually become rich from starvation and ragged clothes.

Throughout the winter in northern Hebei, there are basically no vegetables. People have no money and cannot afford meat, so they can only eat pickles.

An Chuxia will not grow any vegetable greenhouses here in a whimsical way. Coal was in short supply in ancient times, and the vegetables grown may not be enough to buy carbon money.

She is only a fool to do things that cost money and hurt the people!

Thinking that every family here has a heated kang, because they can't afford the firewood for charcoal burning, they use the stalks from their own grain to burn the kang to keep warm.

So this is also the cheapest heating method.

An Chuxia thought of a way to help the people increase their meager income, but she still needs to figure it out before she can teach them.

This day, An Chuxia ordered An Zixi to buy two bags of soybeans. This can't be used as a staple food. If you eat too much, your stomach will become bloated. They can be grown in the fields, so the price is cheap.

Wubaiwen bought back more than 200 catties of soybeans, and An Chuxia asked someone to buy back a plate of stone mills this day, ordered molds for putting tofu from a carpenter, and bought plaster for cooking marinade from a pharmacy.

After everything was ready, An Chuxia began to pour ten catties of soybeans into the pot and soak them in water to prepare bean sprouts, and then soaked fifty catties of beans in a large tank to make tofu and dried tofu.

The next day, An Chuxia asked Po Wu to clean the grinding disc, and Zuo Wang and Da Zhuang, who were strong, were pulled to grind soybean milk.

Although they didn't know what An Chuxia was going to do, everyone still followed her instructions and did their best to do what was arranged.

Wu Po lit the fire, Liu Xiang helped, and An Chuxia directed the overall situation. Finally, after a busy day, the soy milk was boiled and slightly stewed, and was scooped into a wooden tofu box.

Put the bean curd brain into the mold and filter it, and then press the gate to make white-skinned bean curd, sprinkle some salt on it, and dry it to make bean curd.

When the tofu was formed, An Chuxia drew out a piece of tofu weighing about one catty, fifty catties of soybeans, thirty catties of tofu, and twenty catties of dried tofu.

A catty of soybeans can make about four pieces of tofu. If a piece of tofu can be sold for two renminbi, then a catty of soybeans can be sold for eight renminbi.

A catty of soybeans costs two pennies, and making tofu requires less labor and other costs, and making tofu is still profitable.

About [-] catties of dried beans can be squeezed out of [-] catties of soybeans, and the time for the dried beans to be stored with less water will be longer.

There is the cost of sprinkling salt on it, at least four or five cents a catty must be sold to be profitable.

The bean sprouts have not yet sprouted due to the short time, so let's not consider this for now.

When everyone in the family saw the white and tender things An Chuxia made out of beans, they surrounded them curiously.

"Cousin, what is this thing? Can it be eaten?"

An Chuxia took a spoon from the side, scooped one up and put it near An Zixi's mouth, "Eat it!"

"Can it really be eaten?" An Zixi asked weakly, but based on his trust in his cousin, he still opened his mouth and ate it.

A smooth and tender feeling spread in the mouth, causing An Zixi's eyes to widen immediately. After swallowing, he said, "Cousin, this food made from soybeans is quite delicious!"

Out of curiosity, other people wanted to try it now, and An Chuxia didn't stop it. Everyone thought it was delicious after eating it.

An Chuxia also ate a small piece and said, "This is called tofu, it can be eaten mixed with shallots, or it can be fried and stewed for cooking.

Later, I will write down some of the methods I know. Liu Xiang, who is literate, and Wu Po, will study it and make a table of tofu and dried tofu dishes. I will invite a few people to be guests. "

"Yes, my lord."

An Chuxia asked Xu Liangce, Luo Ruisheng, Ma Xiang, Du Lengshuang, Wei Yuncheng and Zhu Tiehua, who had donated food, to come to their house as guests.

What An Chuxia didn't expect was that the tofu feast at her family came earlier. After seeing the white and tender tofu, Ke Yi, who was very interested in this ingredient, made it according to the recipe she wrote.

Because there is a lack of seasoning here, there are many delicious tofu recipes, and we can only make a rough idea.

Today I only made some homemade tofu, braised tofu in soy sauce, steamed tofu with pickle juice, finally bought a fish, and made a fish stewed tofu.

Dried tofu with shredded pork, vegetarian fried tofu, spicy adzuki bean curd, no chili because there is no chili here.

Although An Chuxia accidentally bought pepper and watermelon seeds in Songjiang Mansion that time, she was so busy this year that she forgot to plant them.

Finally, there are some fried tofu, tofu soup...

After all the guests arrived, they sat down according to the guests and hosts. When they saw a table full of uneaten dishes, they all looked at it strangely.

An Chuxia smiled and said, "Taste it, everyone, and see if you can still eat it."

As the host, An Chuxia sandwiched a piece of soft and smooth steamed tofu.

After everyone moved their chopsticks, Xu Liangce took a spoonful of tofu stewed fish with a spoon and ate it. The salty, fresh and delicious taste immediately conquered his taste buds.

Luo Ruisheng sandwiched vegetarian fried tofu, he also likes the light and elegant taste.

Ma Xiang scooped up half a bowl of tofu soup first, and the delicious soup made him unknowingly scooped up another bowl.

Others are also deeply attracted by the soft and tender tofu, the salty, smooth and tender taste.

After the meal, everyone went back to the hall and Liu Xiang served tea to everyone. Then An Chuxia asked: "What do you think of the dishes made with tofu today? Can you still eat them?"

"Delicious!" The carefree Zhu Tiehua gave the most pertinent answer.

Du Lengshuang gave her a supercilious look, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mrs. An's tofu feast had a lot of connotations, which meant that the ulterior motives were not in the wine.

Wei Yuncheng and Zuo Wang also nodded in agreement with Zhu Tiehua's words.

The tofu banquet was made by Ke Yi, who loves cooking very much. Since Gao Fenyong went to the kitchen to make it, he himself will not comment.

An Chuxia looked at Xu Liangce and Luo Ruisheng and Ma Xiang with deep eyes, "What about you! Do you think the dishes made from tofu are delicious?
Do you think anyone would order a dish made of tofu if it was carefully cooked by a chef in a restaurant? "

Luo Ruisheng and Ma Xiang are among the most wealthy people in Wei County. They often go to restaurants and restaurants.

I really feel that there is no difference between going to restaurants in winter and eating at home, except that the meat is some dry sun-dried vegetables, and the few cabbages stored in winter restaurants are also sold at sky-high prices.

The two felt that if they went to a restaurant, they would be willing to order such a delicious table of tofu dishes.
