Chapter 271 [270] Delicious Fisherman 121 (4 updates)

Yaya and Xiaoyu were both very happy. Although Xiaoyu knew the steps to make tofu, the skills passed down by others over the years were not something that she could achieve by making it casually? So she cherished this rare opportunity.

"Then... Grandpa Wang, do you have the best candidate for apprentices in your heart?"

Grandpa Wang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Is there any, I just don't know if they want it or not. There is a widow in the west of our village. He is very kind and has a half-baby in the family. He is very diligent and clever."

"There is an orphan in Zhaojia Village. His father died in battle and his mother ran away. He was also raised by his grandparents. He helped me push the cart, so I was very impressed by him. The child was also very steady and sensible. If these two kids come here, I can save some attention."

Grandpa Wang must be accurate in seeing people, especially when he heard about the situation in these two families, Xiaoyu also felt it was appropriate after hearing this.

"Will you know if you ask? You can invite the village chief over and let the village chief be the intermediary to help you ask."

Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang think this matter is reliable, "Wait until the rain stops, and then go and do this when the rain stops. Now I will teach you both first."

The craftsmanship of tofu is actually not complicated. She has watched it on TV and made a simple version herself. However, in ancient times, when there were not so many chemical raw materials and standard proportions, it was up to the other person's ancestral skills.

The same thing may taste very different from the ones you made from the ancestors. It naturally reflects the importance of the formula.

At this time, the tofu was still very single. At least among the people, the tofu only has tofu pieces, and there are not as many strange and diverse types as modern.

Xiaoyu didn't plan to tell the old couple about these kinds of methods for the time being, mainly because he felt that they had made tofu for most of their lives, so why did he show off his skills in front of others? Moreover, at the level of their couple, it was not a problem to enjoy their old age by relying on the craft of making tofu.

If you have too much money, it may not be a good thing, especially if your children are still like that, it is better to have less than more things.

At this time, they pay attention to safety and health, and other aspects are not important at all.

So the old couple started with the simplest selection of beans, teaching them step by step, and speaking seriously.

No one expected that this tofu, which looks simple and not easy to make, would be so complicated.

"The time to soak the beans well, and they must not be too long, otherwise they will lose their pulp and cannot be made into tofu."

"The gypsum is too raw and not easy to use. If it is too cooked, it will not only not make tofu, but also the soy milk also has the smell of rotten chicken shit."

"When pressing the slurry, don't let the tofu dregs get mixed into the soy milk."

"When cooking and slurry, pour the squeezed raw slurry into the pot and boil it. There is no need to cover the pot and skim off the foam on the surface while cooking. The heat should be large, but not too strong to prevent the soy milk from overflowing after boiling."

...

Xiaoyu and Yaya learned it step by step, and sighed countless times about the difficulty of making tofu.

The ancients said that there are three hardships in the world: raising a boat, striking iron, and grinding tofu.

Boat props: When the boat is sailing, there is a danger of capsizing and dying at any time.

Iron: End the heat by the furnace day and night, and living is like going to hell.

Selling tofu: sleeping at midnight and getting up at midnight and working as a donkey, you only need a small amount of money to make a living.

Think about it, now is not as good as the electrical era in later generations. It is all done by manpower, such as grinding soy milk, filtering tofu dregs, pressing moisture, etc., but they are all purely manual physical work!

A pound of tofu costs one or two cents, and they sell it for six cents. They earn four or five cents for tiring work. It sounds like a lot, but it also includes transportation and daily losses, so it is really not too much!

After working one morning, Xiaoyu also became less interested from his initial enthusiasm.

Fortunately, she did it with the old couple, and she basically mastered everything she should master.
