Chapter 26 Osmanthus White Jade Paste

When Matchmaker Wang heard what Li Xiaoyue said, her face became even more ugly.

"It's said that it's hard to say good things. Since your family overestimates your own capabilities and insists on competing with Landlord Zhao, don't regret it."

It's useless to talk more. Matchmaker Wang reaches out to get the silver.

"Wait a minute!" Li Xiaoyue stretched out her hand to block it, but she couldn't just let Matchmaker Wang take away the money.

Matchmaker Wang was stunned for a moment, then she raised her eyebrows with a smile, and the hair on her chin shook, "It's still too late to regret it now!"

Li Xiaoyue looked at Matchmaker Wang with a half-smile, then took a piece of paper and put it on the table, and took the ink pad in her other hand.

"Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount. Aunt Wang originally took it. Now that Aunt Wang has taken it away, you should press your fingerprint to prove that you have taken the money back."

When Matchmaker Wang heard this, her eyes stood up, and her voice was a bit sharp, "Can't you trust me, Auntie Wang?"

Li Xiaoyue smiled and handed over the Geng Tie from the eldest fool of the Zhao family, "After all, my daughter's Geng Tie is still in the Zhao family, so we must be more cautious."

When Matchmaker Wang heard this, she snorted hard from her nostrils, "After all, you are a small family, and you value money more than your life!"

With her fingers dipped in ink mud and pressed on the paper, Matchmaker Wang stood up with the silver and Geng Tie, "You should take care of yourself. It's too late to regret now."

Matchmaker Wang walked away angrily, and there was silence in the yard.

Liu Changhuan covered his mouth and did not dare to cry. It was all her fault.If it weren't for her, maybe the family wouldn't be in such trouble.

Li Xiaoyue looked around at everyone and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I have a clever plan."

Old Man Li's eyes showed surprise, "Xiaoyue, what can you do?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyue pretended to be lighthearted, "Mr. Gongsun is Major General Huo's military advisor, so he should be very respectable. As long as we have something we can do, we can make Mr. Gongsun willing to help us."

When Old Man Li heard this, his eyes looked complicated and he sighed, "Forget it, I'll go find Mr. Gongsun."

His old face might still be of some use!

"Dad, give me a chance." Li Xiaoyue said with a serious expression, "If my things are not approved by Mr. Gongsun during lunch, then please ask dad to come forward."

Old Man Li was surprised and half-believing, "Your family is not rich, but it is not rich. What good things can you give to Mr. Gongsun's cunning fox?"

"It will be kept secret for now." Li Xiaoyue replied with a smile, "Dad, brothers and nephews, don't worry, just keep working, I'll cook and make things."

Old Man Li felt that his daughter was different from before, so he chose to believe it and give his daughter a chance to prove himself.

It’s really hard, and there’s still him!

If he was really pushed into a hurry, he would directly kill Landlord Zhao's family and Master Wang's office, and take money from the bottom of the cauldron to avoid future troubles.

After learning that there was no tofu here, Li Xiaoyue began to think about making tofu.

I have a ready-made small stone mill at home, which I usually use to grind soaked wheat to make wheat rice.

"Cuihong, bring over the soaked soybeans in the house." Li Xiaoyue said to the eldest daughter-in-law, then looked at the second daughter-in-law, "Come and grind!"

Zhou Xiaohua suddenly became unhappy and muttered in retort, "Mom, you are so tired from grinding, but you are not willing to order me around."

Liu Changhuan quickly ran to the small stone mill with a diameter of one foot and wiped his tears, "Mom, I'll do it."

Li Xiaoyue glared at Zhou Xiaohua and said angrily: "You are just a picky person. If you are good at it, you can run faster than anyone else. If there is no good thing, you can stay away."

"I don't have time to take care of you now. When I solve the Chang Huan matter, I will separate you from Chang Lu. You chatter all day long, pick easy things and avoid hard ones, and are full of petty thoughts. It annoys me. ." When Zhou Xiaohua heard her mother-in-law say this, and her tone was very unkind, she was immediately frightened and ran to the millstone to grind the beans.

"Mom, my daughter-in-law knows she's wrong and can't speak. Don't be as knowledgeable as me."

Zhou Xiaohua understood clearly that her father-in-law and Widow Wang were having a fierce fight, and there was no hope that they would have children in the future. She couldn't make her mother-in-law angry!

Li Xiaoyue couldn't laugh or cry with such a two-skinned face and ruthless flesh.

The soybeans soaked in a porcelain basin were quickly ground into three large buckets.

Set up a rack with gauze tied on it, pour the ground soybeans into the gauze, and filter out the bean juice.

Li Xiaoyue once worked in a tofu shop and knew how to make tofu. She had also read a novel in which the tender tofu made by the heroine was regarded as white jade paste, and she sold it for a fortune using the tofu-making process.

Tofu can supplement protein and is of great benefit to improving the quality of soldiers.After all, meat is expensive now, so it is impossible to eat meat every day in the military camp, but soybeans are cheap, so soldiers can eat tofu every day.

Afterwards, the bean juice was boiled and the tofu was cooked with plaster. The bean juice in the big pot all turned into a flocculated shape.

Everyone was shocked. It felt like Li Xiaoyue was doing a magic trick. He poured something into the pot and it changed drastically.

Zhou Xiaohua's eyes were rolling, and she especially wanted to know what her mother-in-law poured into the pot.
Then pour it into a wooden frame covered with white silk cloth, then wrap it tightly and press it with stones.

"Mom, what are these bean dregs used for?" Wu Cuihong asked curiously, and pinched a handful and put it in his mouth to taste the texture.

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Stir a pot with oil, onions, ginger, and garlic, add tofu residue and stir-fry until it's almost cooked, then add some green vegetable leaves, and it's a dish. If you can't finish the rest, feed it to the pigs."

Wu Cuihong nodded, "Okay, I'll do it."

After working for nearly two hours, I made old tofu, tender tofu, and even more tender tofu.

Fry the old tofu in oil, pour some miso, golden on both sides, and sprinkle with chopped green onion.

To make soft tofu, mix the tofu with Chinese toon, and make the remaining vegetable and tofu soup.

The tofu curd is salty and not tasty because there is not enough ingredients.

Li Xiaoyue borrowed some sugar from her parents' family, boiled the osmanthus picked last year to make osmanthus sugar liquid, and poured it on the tofu.

Old Man Li was worried and came over from time to time to take a look. When he saw that the soybeans were actually used to make raw food, his eyes were wide open and he couldn't believe it.

After tasting each one personally, I thought it tasted good and was soft and tender, especially suitable for the elderly.

"My Xiaoyue is so promising that she actually learned how to make this tofu from the Fanbang people. It's good, very good. I think Gongsun will like the sweet and sweet osmanthus tofu."

Li Xiaoyue became more confident after being praised by her well-informed father.

Mr. Gongsun came before it was time to eat.

When Niu Dazhuang and others saw the military advisor leaving, they immediately threw away their tools and quit working. They followed quietly behind the military advisor, determined not to let the military advisor eat alone.

Seeing Mr. Gongsun coming, the youngest daughter Liu Changle hurriedly reported to her mother, so Li Xiaoyue brought over the just-made tofu banquet and single cake, as well as two buckets of green vegetable and tofu soup.

Li Xiaoyue found out the thin celadon bowl filled with sweet-scented osmanthus tofu that Liu Yunde had bought in the past. She brought it to Mr. Gongsun herself.

Mr. Gongsun was stunned for a moment. The scent of osmanthus lingered on the tip of his nose. His eyes fell on the white and tender object, with a look of surprise on his face. "Ms. Li, what is this?"

Li Xiaoyue has been busy all morning, waiting for Mr. Gongsun to "take the bait"!

Knowing that Mr. Gongsun likes to be arty, Li Xiaoyue even chose an elegant and nice name, "Back to Mr. Gongsun, this is called Osmanthus White Jade Ointment!"
