Chapter 22 Make Them Envy to Death (One More Chapter)
"Come on, come on, eat~"

Yu Qiutang placed the mixed tofu in front of the two children. The two children held chopsticks and stared at the smooth and silky tofu in the bowl. They poked it with their chopsticks at the same time and found it very bouncy. Their hands trembled immediately, as if the tofu had bounced into their souls.

"Eat, what are you waiting for?"

The way they both looked made Yu Qiutang laugh.

Having experienced the material abundance of later times, he naturally could not understand the happiness of children.

A few days ago, I couldn’t even eat white flour steamed buns, but now I can eat this kind of beautiful tofu. The excitement in my heart is naturally indescribable.

"Eat, Yunyun."

Yu Xiaowei really wanted to eat, but he was too embarrassed to pick up the chopsticks first, so he urged his sister to eat instead.

Yu Xiaoyun didn't have any of these thoughts in mind. He picked up the smallest piece in the bowl, put it in his mouth, and was reluctant to chew it. He first closed his eyes to feel the taste, and then slowly chewed it and swallowed it.

Her face was as beautiful as a flower.

Only then did Yu Xiaowei pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.

He made almost the same movements as his sister, but his expression was richer and his eyes brightened visibly.

"Third sister, you eat too." Yu Qiutang called to Yu Chunmei who was watching the two children eating. "We made so much of this, we're not afraid of it running out."

Yu Chunmei pushed the bowl over to him and said, "You eat it, I'll eat it later."

"No hurry, I'll wait until it cools down a bit before eating. You've worked so hard for half an afternoon, you must be very hungry."

"I'm not hungry..."

"Third sister, please stop being like this. You are still trying to give in to me and it makes people feel awkward."

Seeing that Yu Qiutang was about to get unhappy, Yu Chunmei picked up the bowl and started eating slowly.

Yu Qiutang pulled her to sit on the only stool.

This sister is just too timid. It seems that she won’t be able to improve in a short time. She can only be guided slowly.

Physical disability is not enough to actually cause a person to die. The most difficult thing for disabled people to overcome is their own difficulties.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

"It's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious tofu, uncle."

The two children were very careful and slow in the beginning, but after a while they started to speed up, as if they were competing to see who would finish first.

Yu Qiutang was delighted when he saw it.

In fact, strictly speaking, the taste of this magical tofu is not very delicious and it has a slight bitterness. After all, it is extracted from the juice of leaves and has not been neutralized.

The reason why it was served as a dish in later generations was that people in later generations wanted to eat something new. They would eat any dish that tasted much worse than this one. They could even eat bitter melon and watercress, but the bitterness of this divine tofu was really unacceptable.

In addition, the seasonings of later generations have been enriched and the cooking methods have been improved to eliminate the original flavor as much as possible and only retain the original taste. If you add a little sugar, it is almost the same as jelly.

In order to make it taste the best in this era, you actually need some dried chilies, splash them with a lot of oil to make red chili oil, and then add MSG, soy sauce, aged vinegar, salt and shredded coriander to mix it together, and then it will taste really delicious.

But the conditions are limited tonight, so we can only make do with what we have.

However, Yu Qiutang thought the taste was average, but the children still treated it as a treasure. Compared with sorghum flour steamed buns, this thing was much more delicious.

Soon, both of their bowls were empty, and they finished almost at the same time.

After eating, they subconsciously licked the chili peppers at the corners of their mouths, looking as if they were still not satisfied.

Yu Qiutang smiled and said, "Would you like another bowl?"

Yu Xiaoyun lowered his head and said nothing.

Yu Xiaowei shook his head, "No, no, uncle, didn't you say that we should take it to the market tomorrow to sell it for money to exchange for things? We ate it all, so what will we sell tomorrow?" He said so, but the direction of his eyes betrayed him.

Yu Qiutang added another bowl for the two without further ado and handed it to them, "Eat one bowl each. This stuff is hard to digest and will make your stomach cold, so don't eat too much. If you like it, we can make more. There are plenty of leaves anyway."

"it is good!"

The two of them didn't hesitate and started eating again.

Seeing that the three were eating with relish, Yu Qiutang thought for a moment, cut another plate of food, mixed it, and took it towards the kitchen.

At this time, my father and Chen Meidi's family were also having dinner.

The whole afternoon, the tofu maker was running in and out, and the people over there must have been very curious.

Even though the family was divided, he did not sever the father-son relationship, so he still prepared to take some over to let his father have a taste.

But he also has his own ideas.

He brought just enough for one person and poured it into a bowl, which was the bowl for Yu Xiaowei and his sister.

Now that he brought the food over, his father would definitely not eat it alone. The four of them would have to share it. At least Yu Qiushi and Wang Chunhua would join in. The only result would be that no one would be able to eat enough. As soon as they started to eat, the food was gone.

Then after a while, he deliberately showed off that there were two large basins here, making them envious.

Hehe ~
This cooking may seem a bit childish, but it is very enjoyable.

He didn't intend to be incompatible with these people. One was his father and the other was his younger brother. It wasn't to the point of overwhelming hatred.

As long as you make them uncomfortable, you will feel comfortable.

Sure enough, when the door curtain was opened, four people were seen sitting on the kang eating, with their plates filled with yellow cornmeal.

I didn’t see a single white flour bun.

A plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes, a plate of cold-mixed leeks, and bean and rice soup to drink.

Seeing him come in, they were all stunned, and then their eyes fell on the plate in his hand. Seeing the green fairy tofu, they were all very surprised and curious.

"Dad, I made some food and brought it over for you to try."

Yu Qiutang just said to let his father have a taste, and put the plate in front of his father. Then he smiled and prepared to leave, but was stopped by his father.

"What is this?"

"It's a snack. I learned how to make it from others. I think it tastes pretty good."

Yu Dejin looked at Yu Qiutang, then at the plate, then at Yu Qiutang again, then at the tofu. He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. His expression immediately changed slightly. The smoothness of the magical tofu was beyond his expectation.

The food people eat these days is basically not finely polished, so it is quite rough, and it is difficult to have such smooth and delicate food.

Take white flour for example. The flour people ate in later generations was 60% flour, which means that out of 100 kilograms of wheat, only 60 kilograms of flour were left. But now the flour people eat is 80% flour, which means that 100 kilograms of wheat will produce 80 kilograms of flour.

So what are the extra twenty pounds? In fact, it is coarse flour, and even at the end, some bran is ground in.

As a result, the white flour steamed buns of this era, although they were said to be white, actually looked gray and were not at all as white as those in later generations.

Naturally, coarse flour cannot be used to make fine steamed buns. They always taste sandy and are very crispy, but not chewy at all.

"Take your time to eat. I'll get the plate later," Yu Qiutang said again, and turned to go out. As soon as he went out, he heard someone say inside, "Dad, let me have a bite too."

It’s Yu Qiushi.

His eyes almost fell into the plate just now, and it was amazing that he could hold it in until now.

　I'm writing a stand-alone game, and I don't have any feedback. I feel lonely. Hi.
