The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 324 Frozen Tofu

Zhang Xiu was worried about all kinds of things, and made up all the things that might happen in her mind, but when she caught up with Ye Qing, the sister-in-law walked through the lower village, passed the upper village, and walked all the way to the tofu shop, she didn't feel any harm. There was no disturbance at all, and even less gossip.

Heh, it's really crazy!

With clean ears and Ye Qing not being wronged, Zhang Xiu is naturally happy and at ease, she is overjoyed, I hope the two of them will be so quiet when they go back.At least, being able to protect Ye Qing for a while is a temporary thing, and for marriage or something, she and Ye Junbei actually hope that Ye Qing will marry Wu Yan, a wish from the bottom of their hearts.

Ye Qing hummed a little song and entered Cheng's yard, when the eldest girl and the second girl saw Ye Qing, the two sisters immediately threw away the little clay figures in their hands and rushed towards her, then sweetly called Sister Qingqing.Two pairs of big watery eyes are smart and full of vitality, and the two small faces smile into two sweet flowers.

Ye Qing originally smiled sweetly, but when she saw the two sisters' little muddy hands, her heart sank.It wasn't that she disliked that the sisters' hands were dirty and stained her clothes, but that the hands of the two sisters were dry, chapped and cracked, even if they were stained with mud, they could still be seen bleeding.The big girl's hands were even worse, she had frostbite on the back of her hand, and the red bumps were next to each other, looking very pitiful.

"Does it hurt?"

The eldest girl and the second girl saw that Ye Qing's sister suddenly fell silent, and her eyes were full of tears, the two sisters were frightened immediately.They looked at each other, shook their heads lightly, and quickly wiped Ye Qing's tears with dirty hands.The result can be imagined, Ye Qing's face was also covered with mud.

The chilblains of the two sisters were not due to the carelessness of Cheng, the mother, who did not take good care of the two children, but because they lived in the countryside, where food and clothing were a problem, and the whole family was anxious about what to eat for the next meal. Worried, where can I take care of it?Besides, I can't even eat, so where can I have spare money to buy hand cream?
Adults are helpless and have no other choice, but children are born optimists who don’t know hunger and hardship at all. As long as they have a meal to eat, they can also live carefree like happy little angels every day .Even so, the children from poor families have been in charge of the family early, and their innocence has always been with them, but their temperament is much more mature than the children from rich families.

Zhang Xiu is also a mother, looking at the hands of the big girl and sister, her nose is also a little acidic.Although chilblains are unavoidable, if you wear thick clothes, you won't be frozen like this, right?A widow in the Cheng family has to raise two daughters and a mother-in-law. One can imagine how hard life is. Hey, it's just that the two children are pitiful.

She remembered that their family was poorer than Cheng's at this time last year, and she felt uncomfortable again. She pulled the corner of her mouth slightly to reveal a smile, and said to the big girl, "Wash your hands, and Sister Xiu will make one for each of you." How about new clothes?"

When the big girl and the second girl heard that there were new clothes to wear, they were taken aback for a moment, then laughed happily, and then ignored the frostbite on their hands, clapped their palms and said, "Okay, oh, there are new clothes to wear, there are new clothes to wear gone."

Seeing the two sisters happy, Ye Qing smiled knowingly, turned around and smiled at Zhang Xiu, then took the two sisters' hands and went straight to Xun's house, "Let's go, wash your hands first. Something for you to eat."

When the two little girls heard that there was something to eat, they laughed happily again.

Ye Qing led the two children into the house, and happened to see Cheng coming out with a plate of freshly made tofu.When she saw Ye Qing, she was obviously taken aback, she didn't come back to her senses for a full second, obviously she didn't expect Ye Qing to appear in her home.

"Auntie, are you surprised to see me?"

Hearing Ye Qing's joking voice, Mrs. Cheng shook her head with a smile, "You haven't come for a long time, and Junbei and Qiusheng took turns to pull Tofu, so I thought you wouldn't come. I was really surprised to see you suddenly. "There are other reasons, which she can't tell.

Ye Qing smiled and said nothing, picked up the topic and said: "Auntie, I'm here today to ask you to do something, after I wash the girls' hands, I'll come out and talk to you."

"Qingqing, where can I let you wash their hands, they are as dirty as mud monkeys..." Cheng put the tofu on the table and took her daughter's hand, and she was even more apologetic to Ye Qing, as if How condescending it is for Ye Qing to wash the hands of two maids.

Ye Qing avoided Cheng's hand, but ignored her, and led the two maids to the kitchen.When she came out, the two mud monkeys had already been cleaned, and they were concentrating on kneading the pine nuts that Ye Qing brought for them!

Zhang Xiu and Cheng Shi were talking, when they saw Ye Qing coming out, they quickly greeted the two maids, making room for Ye Qing and the others to talk about business.She knew that Ye Qing would definitely not come out to wander around under the pretense, there must be something to say.

Cheng was overwhelmed by the actions of the two aunts and sisters-in-law, apologetic until they caused trouble to them.Ye Qing waved his hands, and went straight to the topic: "Auntie, have you heard of frozen tofu?"

"Frozen tofu?" Cheng's brain hadn't turned the corner yet, with a look of surprise on his face.

Seeing her expression, Ye Qing knew the answer, and immediately said: "If I tell you how to make it, can you try it?"

Cheng's surprised expression immediately smiled, and immediately nodded in response: "Of course, if you hadn't asked me to try making dried tofu last time, how could I support my family by selling only two plates of tofu every day? Thanks to you these days, our family At least three meals a day don't need to be hungry. I still have to thank you very much!" Thinking about getting some meaty food every now and then, she felt that her nose and eyes were sour, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Ye Qing quickly comforted her, and then immediately returned the topic to frozen tofu, "Auntie, after dehydration, the tofu has many pores, good elasticity, rich nutrition, delicious taste, and is soft, so it is also called sponge tofu. It’s just that there doesn’t seem to be snow here, and the temperature is not low enough, so if you want to make frozen tofu, you have to work harder.”

Cheng was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he asked in a puzzled voice, "How is it possible? Besides freezing, isn't it also tofu?"

Ye Qing nodded, agreeing with her statement, "That's true, tofu is still tofu even after it's been frozen, although the taste is a bit different. But, as I said just now, it doesn't snow here, and the temperature doesn't meet the requirements. However, there is a difference in temperature between night and day, especially after midnight, if you want frozen tofu, you have to get up in the middle of the night to 'dry' the pieces. Auntie, do you understand?"
