Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 28

As soon as a corner of the wooden basin was opened, before Zhang Yun could look at it, a strong stench came out and rushed straight to his nose. Zhang Yun quickly pinched his nose, opened the straw with one hand, and leaned over to it. Looking inside, I saw that the pieces of Sifang tofu had turned a little grayish yellow. I took out a piece lightly, and it didn't stick to my hand when I squeezed it. I squeezed it a little harder, but it didn't break. I already have some confidence, and feel that this stinky tofu should be able to be made.

Thinking so, you have to try it. Zhang Yun took the tofu cube to his mouth, took a bite, and it felt tender and tender in his mouth, and he couldn't eat it at all. He licked it with the tip of his tongue, and he could taste the fragrance. Come on, this means that the stinky tofu is almost moldy.

Zhang Yun became happy all of a sudden, and hurriedly covered the straw back. The tung oil cloth was tightly covered, and he put it back in its original position. It will not be used yet. If it is moldy overnight, the smell should be stronger. Wait until tomorrow I can take it to the market to fry stinky tofu.

The stinky tofu experiment was considered a success. Zhang Yun was very happy. After leaving the kitchen, he ran to Mrs. Zhou who was feeding the chickens by the chicken coop, and said with a smile, "Mother, the snow has stopped, shall we go again tomorrow?" Go to the market?"

"Let's take a look first. If after tonight, the snow doesn't fall again by tomorrow morning, then let's go. Didn't you say that there are still tofu left? It's been a few days, so I wonder if we can fry them to eat? "Ms. Zhou was a little worried, wondering if there would be any problems with the tofu if it was put on hold for a few days.

Zhang Yun hurriedly said: "If we make a special trip to sell fried tofu, then we don't have enough at home. Mother, do you want to buy some more boards of tofu?" When some come out, they will be fried and sold for money. Stinky tofu will definitely be more profitable than soaked tofu. If they sell well, after the Lantern Festival, the family will have a few taels more money.

Mrs. Zhou was right when he thought about it. If he really wanted to sell fried tofu, he might not be able to sell this tofu for half a day. He really had to buy some more tofu, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, tell your elder brother to go and sell it again." Buy a board and come back, and send over the two catties of oil left over from the last trip, it has been snowing for the past few days, and your Uncle Chang didn't come to take it away."

"Mother, why don't you just buy two boards and go directly to Uncle Tieli's house to buy them. He should have a lot of tofu, and the one left by Uncle Chang is not enough. These days, it must have been made into moldy tofu." " Zhang Yun thought, he wanted deep-fried tofu puffs and musty stinky tofu.

"Then go to Chang Tieli's house to buy it. Anyway, the two of them buy the same ones, and your uncle Tieli won't count us as more expensive. You go and call your elder brother and ask him to go early with the money." Mrs. Zhou agreed readily when she arrived, and Zhang Yun hurriedly responded, then ran into the room and called Zhang Zhang out.

Mrs. Zhou gave Zhang Zhang two catties of oil and a small sling of copper coins, and asked him to take the oil to Chang Tiemu's house first, and then to Chang Tieli's house to buy tofu. After Zhang Zhang received the oil and copper coins, he went out.

After about two quarters of an hour, Zhang Zhangzhang came back with a plate of tofu. After entering the yard, he took it directly to the kitchen, put it on the water tank plate, and then said: "There is another plate, I will go get it right away." Come." After saying that, she hurriedly turned around, ready to go.

Zhang Yun just took out a few pieces of stinky tofu, and he was standing in front of the stove, ready to fry in the pan. Seeing that Zhang Cheng turned around in a hurry and wanted to leave, he hurriedly called him, "Brother, don't worry, wait a minute."

Zhang Zhang paused, turned his head to look at her, Zhang Yun hurriedly poured the stinky tofu into the oil, and said: "Brother, I am trying to fry a new food, wait a moment, it will be fried soon, you Taste it first to see if it tastes good."

As soon as Zhang Zhang heard it, he had a new meal. He hurriedly beeped, and was so happy that he agreed. After that, he leaned against the stove, opened his head to look into the oil pan, and as soon as he leaned over, he immediately smelled a strong smell. He flicked his nose hastily, frowned and said, "Why is it so smelly, what are you messing with?"

"Didn't there be tofu left before, because it was snowing and I couldn't sell it, so I got moldy. I thought we would also eat it. Today, the snow stopped, so I thought of the moldy tofu. I just went to see it." , It’s moldy like this, it’s different from the usual ones, I tasted it and thought it tasted good, so I thought about frying it and trying it, if it tastes good, it’s a new kind of food.” Zhang Yun said If you make up an excuse, you can count it as a valid reason.

"It's just that you have a lot of ideas. You used to go up the mountain and down the pond to fumble around and fiddle with those things. Now that it's here, you can fiddle with food. Speaking of which, you have made progress." Zhang Zhang didn't care, and stood aside. Make fun of my sister.

Zhang Yun glanced at him, and became coquettish, "It's not luck that I messed with eating, you guys make fun of me when you are full, this delicious food can't stop the mouth of big brother, hum."

Zhang Zhang laughed when he heard this, and Mrs. Zhou, who was in the yard, heard talking and laughing in the kitchen and a scent wafting out, so she walked over here.

"Yun'er, what food do you want to eat? It smells weird." Mrs. Zhou asked Zhang Yun when she went to the kitchen door and saw Zhang Yun standing in front of the stove, looking as if she was making food.

Brothers and sisters Zhang Yun and Zhang Zhang all turned their heads to look, but Zhang Zhang took the conversation first, and said with a smile: "Mother, you come here to smell it, and you feel it smells bad. I don't know what Yun'er is doing. It smells bad. It tastes delicious, but I don’t know if it will be delicious.”

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was very curious, so she walked in, scooped water from the bucket, rinsed her hands, and walked towards the stove with her hands shaken. When she got closer, she found that there was indeed a stench, as the regulations said, but the pot Now, the frying is almost done, and the pieces of stinky tofu are all floating on the oil surface. Looking at the golden and crispy surface, you can't tell that it was made of this stinky thing, and the fragrance it emits It is very thick and much more fragrant than fried tofu puffs.

"You will know if you try it." Zhang Yun saw that his elder brother guessed whether the stinky tofu is delicious, so he said with a smile, and then started to pick up the stinky tofu, and sandwiched them piece by piece into the pre-prepared food. In the bowl, some chopped peppers have been put in the bowl. It is the most delicious match to eat stinky tofu with peppers.

After all the pieces of stinky tofu were taken out and placed in a bowl, Zhang Yun put down his chopsticks and went to take out the jar containing chopped chili peppers from the cupboard, drained a little of the chili juice inside, and poured it on the stinky tofu. The stinky tofu was dyed with bright red chili juice, the color matched beautifully, and the taste was further improved, which made Zhou and Zhang Zhang swallow their saliva unconsciously.

"Hey, mother, brother, try it." After Zhang Yun put the chopped chili jar back, he took the chopsticks and handed them to Mrs. Zhou and Zhang Zhang one by one, and held the bowl in front of them.

Mrs. Zhou and Zhang Zhang picked up the stinky tofu with their chopsticks, put it to their mouths and took a bite. The taste was really fragrant and crispy, thin and tender. The fresh and spicy taste is really indescribably delicious.

"Yeah, how can it be so delicious? This is made of moldy tofu? How can the tofu be so delicious?" Zhang Zhang muttered as he ate, feeling incredible, and Mrs. Zhou praised it again and again. There are several sounds of incense.

Seeing that his mother and elder brother were eating with gusto, Zhang Yun felt that there would be no more problems. The stinky tofu would be put on the market tomorrow, and another batch must be molded quickly. sold.

After Zhang Zhang ate two pieces of fried stinky tofu, Zhang Yun urged him to go to Chang Tieli's house to get another plate of tofu, so she could cut up the tofu as soon as possible and drain the water so that it could be packed as soon as possible mold on.

Under Zhang Yun's repeated urging, Zhang Zhang could only put down his chopsticks, wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, and was about to leave the kitchen. Just as he was walking out of the kitchen, he saw someone walking into the fenced yard. Chang Man, who was holding a plate of tofu in his hand, turned out to be delivering tofu to them.

"Cheng Zi, your family's tofu, just now I went to uncle's house, he said that you took one board home, and you still have one board to go, so let me bring it over." Chang Man stood at the gate of the courtyard, and did not go Walking away, he opened his mouth to explain instead, for fear that the regulations might be misunderstood again.

They sent it here on a special trip, and the regulations are not good to show too much embarrassment. Besides, my father and mother have already talked to Chang's family last time, so he can't push him out anymore. Thinking about it, he didn't say anything. He murmured, "Thank you very much." Then he turned and went to the kitchen.

As soon as Zhang Zhang went out, he turned around and came in with a tofu board. Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment. Seeing him put the tofu board down, he remembered to ask, "Brother, did Uncle Chang send it?"

Zhang Zhang shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's Chang Man."

Zhang Yun saw that his elder brother was still resisting Chang Man, and thinking about the two being very good buddies in the past, it was a pity that they became enemies just because of their own affairs, so he couldn't help pulling his elder brother's arm, and He handed over the bowl containing stinky tofu, stuffed the chopsticks into his hand, and said softly: "Brother, take this to Chang Man to eat, my business is over, don't make it like this, everyone is always In a village, if you don’t look up and look down, why bother.”

After being persuaded by Zhang Yun, and then pushed and shoved a few times behind him, Zhang Zhang reluctantly left the kitchen, just in time to see Chang Man turn around and prepare to leave.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Zhang called out, the voice was not high, but enough for Chang Man to hear, he stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look, saw Zhang Zhang slowly walking in front of him, lifted the bowl in his hand, The chopsticks were directly stuffed into his hands, before he understood the situation, he listened to the charter and said: "Hey, this is for you to eat."

When Chang Man heard it, a smile appeared on his face, he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, picked up the stinky tofu without saying a word, and stuffed it into his mouth even though he didn't know what it was.

The delicious smell of stinky tofu made Chang Man's eyes light up. Before he swallowed the whole piece of stinky tofu, he grabbed the second piece with his hands, but Zhang Zhang shrank his hand and said anxiously: "I didn't tell you Eat two yuan, only a few yuan in total, my father, my grandfather, Xingzi haven't tasted it yet."

Chang Man scratched his head in embarrassment, then wiped his mouth, handed the chopsticks back to Zhang Zhang, swallowed the stinky tofu, and said, "Then I'll go first." After a few steps, he stopped again, turned his head and smiled, "Thank you."

Zhang Zhang didn't answer, watched Chang Man turn around and leave, looked at the stinky tofu in his hand, and looked at Chang Man's back, he was stunned for a while before turning back to the kitchen.

After Zhang Youqing and Zhang Liangen came back, the leftover stinky tofu was shared between them. After they ate it, they all praised it unanimously. Zhang Yun took the opportunity to ask them what they meant, "Father, grandpa, if this is sold , do you feel good?"

"Such delicious food, of course we have to sell it." Zhang Liangen patted the corner of the table, and he agreed. Zhang Youqing naturally did not object. The family decided to go to the market tomorrow, and they would sell fried stinky tofu and tofu puffs. .

With the permission of his family, Zhang Yun no longer hesitated. After dinner that night, he cut most of the tofu into squares, spread it in the Shakei to drain, and then continued to cut the other half of the tofu, so that the Shaukei was almost completely drained. One by one, put them into the big wooden basin that Mrs. Zhou had washed clean before. A whole board of tofu filled the big basin, covered it tightly, and put it behind the stove to get moldy as usual. Tofu is prepared to be fried tofu tomorrow.

It took Zhou Shi and Zhang Yun more than an hour to make all the tofu, and then they washed up, blowing on the lamp and taking a rest. There is still a whole day of work tomorrow.
