Chapter 89 The Tofu Business
【Recommendation】【Collection】【Reward】

In the tofu workshop, Yi Xue watched carefully, the bean juice in the mold began to solidify, Yi Xue asked Mrs. Jia to spread gauze on it to prevent dust from falling into it.

After two hours, everyone didn't even eat lunch, they were full of soy milk and tofu.

The tofu room was more lively, but except for my own family and Mrs. Jia, Tianjia, Qiushui and Dongxiang, no one else was allowed in. On the one hand, it was for the sake of confidentiality, and on the other hand, it was to maintain hygiene.

Yi Xue also specially asked her to make some standard work clothes.I originally thought of using white, but white is a symbol of bad luck in this world, so I had to use blue fabric.The fabric is made into a wide apron look.During those two hours at noon, Mrs. Zhang could only do a few simple sets according to Yi Xue's description.The hats are all made of standard blue. Auntie Jia and the others are still very new to this kind of clothing, but they feel that the eldest lady's approach is very right. If such expensive tofu is not cleaned, it is a sin.

Yi Xue stipulated that anyone who came in must wear such clothes, otherwise they were not allowed to enter, and some hygiene regulations were also made.

"Sister, can I eat this?" Sanya asked, pointing to the tofu.Sanya learned how to behave this time, as long as the eldest sister cooks, she will definitely be able to eat.

"You can eat it. You can also eat raw tofu, but in order to prevent diarrhea, it's better not to eat it. Go out and play. When you make it, you will be indispensable." Yixue said with a smile.

Sanya grinned, "Okay, I'll listen to Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister is the best", and ran out after speaking.

Yi Xue untied the gauze, and the row of milky white tofu lay there quietly, like a piece of snow, which made Yi Xue very excited.

"Okay, everyone is tired, let's take a rest. This job is really not easy," Yi Xue said with a smile.

Mrs. Jia looked at the tofu, her eyes full of anticipation, and said, "If I can drink soy milk every day, I would rather be tired."

"Hehe, Mrs. Jia, you are right. I don't feel hard work. I drink some every day, and I feel comfortable all over my body."Qiu Shui said with a smile.

Yi Xue knew that this was something she was used to, and only when she had the hope of living would she work hard to move forward.

To expand the tofu business in the future, the technology of soy milk and tofu brain may be spread, but tofu skin and dried tofu can be made by oneself, probably no one would have thought of it.

"What are you talking about? How can you drink it every day? Didn't you see that the eldest lady spent a lot of money just on Jingui's candy?" Tianjia complained.

Sister-in-law Jia was taken aback, and immediately remembered the white sugar that was poured into the soy milk, and her heart ached.White sugar is a luxury, and a catty of sugar is one tael of silver, but today I ate half a catty of white sugar.

White sugar is more valuable than food, and most people can't afford it. Who wants to eat half a year's rations for a catty?

Yi Xue saw that Mrs. Jia was distressed and wronged, and said with a smile, "From now on, our breakfast will be soy milk or tofu flower, and Mrs. Jia will be responsible for these. Don't worry too much. My principle is to eat well and drink well. Good health! There will be more places to make money in the future, eat in your own stomach, and don’t waste it, this is called enjoyment”

When Mrs. Jia heard Yi Xue's words, she immediately glared at Tian Jia, "Miss, I don't know where we got here because of our good luck."

Tianjia was embarrassed, but Yi Xue also knew that Tianjia was doing it for her own benefit, so she didn't mention him.These two are steady people who know what can and cannot be done.

"However, now we not only have to eat for ourselves, but also sell it, and earn back the money we eat, and make more money. But relying on us alone, it is a bit difficult, and we have to think of a way. ", Yi Xue said.

Tianjia also nodded, indeed, he was a little paralyzed by pushing.This also has to do outside work.

"It seems that there are still fewer people." Yi Xue lamented, how come the more money you have, the more you feel that you have no money, and the more people you have, the more you feel that there are not enough people.

"Sister Jia, pack these soy milk, tofu brain and tofu, and let's go to town," Yi Xue said.It's still early in the weather, and sell this product as soon as possible.

After loading the things into the car, Yi Xue took Qiushui and Xiaojun to the town.Although Xiaojun is studying, Yixue still reads with the idea of ​​immortality.Let more contact with some housework, in order to be more transparent, don't become a sour scholar.

When they arrived in the town, shopkeeper Li of Heji Restaurant heard that Yi Xue was coming, and immediately came out to greet her.

"Girl, you are here. The sauerkraut is gone, and the guests are looking forward to it," Li shopkeeper said excitedly.

Although he predicted that the sales of pickles would be good, he did not expect that the guests would love them very much, but ten altars are not enough, and they will be gone in less than three days.

When Yi Xue left, she didn't leave her address, and she didn't know where to find it, so shopkeeper Li ran around in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper Li, don't worry, I only brought five altars this time, tell the guests that this kind of dish is gone because it's autumn," Yi Xue said.

The shopkeeper Li was disappointed immediately, "It's a pity, I just played the signboard."

He can't help it, just a few jars each time, it's not enough to sell for a day, if the restaurant doesn't control the daily sales, they won't be able to wait for Yi Xue's arrival.

But Yi Xue didn't care, the profit of pickles was still a bit thin, and she didn't plan to supply them for a long time.Besides, although the profit is high, the price is too low.

"However, shopkeeper Li, I brought something new, and it's a good thing," Yi Xue said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up immediately. Every time this girl brought something different, if she said something good, it was good. I don't know what she brought this time.

"Miss Yi Xue, please come inside," shopkeeper Li said hastily.

Instructing people to serve tea and refreshments, shopkeeper Li was also very polite in his words.

"Shopkeeper Li, please try it. I only brought this amount. If the business is completed, I can keep supplying it." Yi Xue said, signaling Qiushui to serve the soy milk, tofu nao and tofu in small bowls.

Shopkeeper Li stared at the white thing, a little dazed, but soon he smelled a strong aroma of beans.After taking a sip of soy milk, my eyes lit up, and then I tasted tofu flower, and I sat up straight.

"Okay, delicious, delicious, refreshing and tender, really delicious in the world," Shopkeeper Li praised in surprise.

Then he took another bite of tofu, "It's so tender, but this one is not as tasty as the first two."

Yi Xue smiled lightly, "Master Li is wrong."

Shopkeeper Li was taken aback, "What do you mean, girl?"

Yi Xue pointed to the tofu and said, "This is the most precious, and it's raw now. There are ways to eat raw, and there are many ways to eat cooked."

Shopkeeper Li was puzzled, but seeing Yi Xue smiled and asked, "Can Shopkeeper Li borrow the kitchen?"

In the kitchen, Yi Xue cut the tofu into pieces, boiled the water, blanched the tofu pieces, then cooked the oil in the pan, put the tofu in, and fried the tofu on a low heat. Soon the tofu turned golden yellow.

Take out the fried tofu, add pepper and stir fry, pour a little water, add soy sauce, put the tofu cubes in again, stir fry a few times, and add salt.Soon a plate of golden homemade tofu came out.Even without the bean paste, there are scallions, peppers, and chilis, but it's already pretty amazing.

Without these materials, Yi Xue, as the daughter of a top chef, can do extraordinary things.

Looking at the brightly colored tofu, shopkeeper Li thought of it when he smelled it, and hurriedly ate a piece. It was crispy and smooth, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, a real good thing.

Yi Xue didn't care about shopkeeper Li watching on. Anyway, shopkeeper Li couldn't make real homemade tofu and other recipes without ingredients.Another one, she also uses this method to make transactions, otherwise people would not use tofu for cooking, so why buy it?

"It's delicious, it's delicious, Miss Yixue, it's really delicious, I didn't expect the girl's cooking skills to be so good," Li shopkeeper said involuntarily.

"Hehe, shopkeeper Li, should we talk about the price now?" Yi Xue asked.

"The price is easy to negotiate," shopkeeper Li said immediately. This is a good opportunity for monopoly, and it must not be missed.

"Girl, I don't know much about this thing. Girl, let's make an offer. As long as it's not outrageous, I will naturally agree," Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.

Yi Xue also knew that shopkeeper Li was showing his favor, so she pondered for a moment, and said, "If you are dissatisfied with the shopkeeper, this item does not cost much, but it takes a lot of manpower and time, so I will supply you with two jars of soy milk every day, one or two for each jar." Silver, two pots of bean curd flowers, one tael and a half silver per pot, how about two taels of silver per square of tofu?"

Shopkeeper Li also silently calculated in his heart, this jar uses a small bowl, it can hold fifty bowls, and the daily limited supply can ensure that a small number of people drink it, then the price will increase, one bowl is worth one hundred coins, then one jar is two taels In terms of money, a bowl of tofu flower is two hundred yuan, which is four taels of silver. The price of tofu cooking is enough to double, so you can make a profit without losing money.

"Okay, Miss Yixue, it's settled like this, but, Miss, can I just let my family run it?" Shopkeeper Li asked with a smile.

Yi Xue nodded, "There are not many things in the first place, and they cannot be mass-produced, so there is nothing to sell to others. Don't worry about it, shopkeeper Li."

Shopkeeper Li was overjoyed immediately, "So it's settled, but the lady made the tofu dish just now, you see, um, can you sell it to a restaurant?"

Yi Xue smiled slightly, "This is a free gift."

Shopkeeper Li was overjoyed immediately, "The girl really admires me, so thank you very much."

Yi Xue secretly smiled, there are eight hundred tofu recipes if not one thousand, and she knows that there are no less than forty or fifty kinds, so it would be great to send out a menu and leave a favor.

Yi Xue taught the chef home-made tofu and wanted to leave, but was greeted by shopkeeper Li to have a meal at the restaurant.

It's been almost two months, every day is a chapter, the number of words is really not much, starting from January 1th, two chapters will be updated every day.The estimated word count is around 14 words.
