Heartless Prince's Palm

Chapter 24 Tofu
Seeing that they were busy, the third uncle was about to help, but found that the stone mill had been washed.
"This isn't for Mother, it's for Xing'er."

"When did Xing'er like grinding noodles? I'll do such a tiring job."

"It's best to have the help of my third uncle, not for grinding noodles but for grinding beans."

Ye Xing and his mother came out of the kitchen carrying a large basin. The beans had been soaked overnight, and they were all round and swollen, looking extremely cute.

"Grinding beans? Why are they so wet?"

"It's just adding water to the mill,"

The stone mill was too big for her to push it, so the third uncle helped push it without saying a word.

Soon a large pot of soybean milk was ground, and the family members came to watch, not knowing what she was going to do.
"Sister, can this drink?"

Looking at the white pulp, Ye Zhen, who just finished school, was hungry.

"You can't drink it raw. It will be boiled later, and each person will share a bowl."

Because it was the first time, I soaked a lot of beans. As long as I can make a piece of tofu, the plan is half successful.

Next, scalding, boiling, and straining were completed in one go, and the key procedure of ordering tofu was also carried out quietly. After all, intellectual property rights are very important.

"Oh, why did it break down in a while?"

Ye Zhen still wanted to drink it, but when he ran to the wooden basin, he found that the white pulp had turned into flocs.

"It's not that it's broken, now I'm going to make something called tofu, it's delicious."

Seeing that it was almost done, I scooped it into the plaque basket, because it was lined with fine cloth, and all that flowed down was clear water.
"Go and bring a jar and press it on the lid of this pot." The round wooden lid is just the right size,
"When can I eat this?"

The girls were very curious, the nectar just now was so delicious, this one must be delicious too.

"Two hours will be fine." She looked at the sun, and it happened to be noon.

The moment the cloth was lifted, Ye Xing smiled. She broke off a piece and put it in her mouth. The bean fragrance was rich, even better than the ones she bought in her previous life!

"Xing'er is smart, can beans have this taste? Oh, it's really delicious."

Mrs. Ye was full of praise, her teeth were loose, and it was easy to eat this.

"Grandma, let's do the math. I soaked ten catties of soybeans yesterday. Of course, we also drank a lot of soy milk. Let's say eight catties. Three copper coins per catty in the grain shop cost 24 coins.

I weighed it just now. The tofu weighs 32 catties. Even if it costs two pennies per catty, I can make a net profit of forty pennies. "

"What are you afraid of? As long as you can earn money, who do you plan to let do it?"

Granny Ye's eyes are bright, isn't it tiring to do odd jobs?In addition to being tired and dangerous, it also depends on the face of the person. It's not like you have to work every day, and you can't survive ten cents.

The granddaughter has always been successful, and if she can come to her to settle the score, she must plan to pull it off, uncle and third uncle.

In fact, Ye Xing just loves his parents. Making tofu is not an easy job, but this is an exclusive business, so it would be a pity not to do it.

"One family will produce one person, and three companies will work together." Of course, she has no intention of handing over the cooking skills.

The uncle and the third uncle were squatting outside the window, with their ears stretched out, listening to the conversation between their grandparents and grandchildren, and smiling from ear to ear. The niece is righteous. Although they separated, they didn't treat them as outsiders.

The tofu workshop finally started. Because it was a bit far away from the town, Ye Xing suggested buying an ox cart, which can not only plow the land, but also save a lot of time by going there once a day.

Mrs. Ye made a final decision. A cow is like a family of people to a farm family. If a family has a cowpen, they will walk with their heads up high.

This money is considered to be borrowed from my mother, and will be returned to her after the tofu shop makes money.

The uncle and the third uncle worked all night and produced four boards of tofu, and the responsibility of selling them was handed over to Ye Xing and his daughter.
"Hey, Yingzi bought an ox cart, what is being pulled on this cart?"

The tofu is still steaming and smells delicious,

"This is tofu, a food made from beans, and it's brought to the market to sell."

"Tofu? Hey, I've never heard of it. It's a rare thing. It smells good. How do you sell it?"

The folks gathered around, Ye Xing had no choice but to explain one by one, but when he heard that he wanted two pennies, he quickly dispersed.

"Father, is two Wenwen very expensive?" Ye Xing also became uneasy about the price.
"We country people, how can we spend money to buy food? All food is grown in the field. As long as you work hard, you can have everything."

Ye Xing snorted unconvinced, this is not right, at least there is no tofu.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Daji in the town. Ye Xing cut a small plate for people to try. After all, it is fresh food, so you can rest assured only if you taste it.

Because she wanted some tofu, she also stayed up until midnight last night. There were not many people in the meeting, and her stomach was growling with hunger, so she ran to buy some big meat buns.

As soon as I came back, I saw three old ladies in front of the stall,

"Hey, this is really made of beans? It's soft and delicious, big brother, two pennies is too expensive, how about a penny and a catty?"

This bargain is too harsh, it's just [-]% off,
"Auntie, I'm tired of doing this. My family has been busy all night, so I made a little bit of it. When I go home, I fry it and stew it. It's delicious no matter how you do it. This is vegetarian food, and I can still respect Buddha."

She found that there are not only Taoist priests in this time and space, but also many temples. It seems that spiritual needs are very important.

Hearing this, the three people were obviously moved, and the two coins were not much, so the three of them weighed a piece each, and the tofu was considered open.

After eating a few buns, there were more people. They asked a lot, but bought less. It was almost noon, and there was still half of it left. Fortunately, it was cold. If it was summer, it would definitely be rotten.

"Don't worry, when the distribution is over, let's drive around the villages and deliver it to your doorstep, someone will definitely want it."

Ye Ying comforted her daughter, although she only sold half of it, the purse was already heavy, and she earned more money than working.

As soon as the voice fell, a man hurried over, saw that they were still there, and asked quickly,
"How much more tofu? I want it all."

Hey, come to the big family so soon?Ye Xing recognized it, he bought a piece just now, did it taste bad?

"Uncle, there are still two boards. If you can't finish them, you can put them in a cool place. Well, you can also freeze them. Frozen tofu stew tastes better."

The after-sales service must be in place, if it is too bad to eat, it will ruin the reputation of her family.

"Hey, what the little girl said is right. My old lady likes this taste. She ate it in the capital when she was a child. When I saw it today, she was so happy. She ate it in one bite. It's still the same taste as before!"

Ah, she thought it was an exclusive sale. It turned out that it had existed here long ago. However, it should not have spread to the common people. This man is dressed in silk, but he is just a servant. It can be seen that the master must be a nobleman.

The father and daughter sent the tofu to the Sun Mansion. The old lady was curious and summoned them. After chatting for a while, she found out that she only ate it once in Prince Huai's Mansion when she was a child, and because she liked it so much, she remembered it all her life.
