Chapter 76 Silent Stinky Tofu

Although the planning proposal of Silent Stinky Tofu was rejected, Wei Yisi decided to do something for this special couple who lived hard.

There is no sensational plot, and no tear-jerking copywriting, just an ordinary store visit.

Wei Yi spent an hour trying to calm down the negative emotions in his heart until he returned to his usual calm appearance.

Wei Yi took the keys of his mobile phone and went out, driving the car all the way to the destination.

When he was about to reach his destination, Wei Yi found a paid parking space nearby and stopped, and chose to walk for the last 200 meters.

With a distance of 15 meters left, Wei Yi stood on the corner of the street and could already smell the strong and long-lasting smell of stinky tofu. When he took a closer look, he could see from a distance the extremely simple and dilapidated small pushchair. Che's silent stinky tofu.

People come and go on the street, but few people stop to buy stinky tofu.

The business situation of Silent Stinky Tofu seems not to be ideal.

According to Li Bu's preliminary investigation, Wu Sheng's stinky tofu shop is the couple's only source of income.

The quality of the business in the store will directly affect the life of the couple.

If you enter the store by yourself, how should you interact with your elder brothers and sisters?

Fortunately, this is the era of smart phones, and you can use your mobile phone to type and communicate. Wei Yi didn't struggle with this issue for too long.

Wei Yi raised his foot and walked towards the Silent Stinky Tofu shop. When he got to the door of the shop, he saw the furnishings in the shop, and was immediately in awe.

Although the store is small, it is well-organized and clean, and it is very comfortable to look at.

The big brother and the big sister grinned happily when they saw the guests, and their enthusiastic smiles were very contagious.

Wei Yi took off his mask, pointed to the mixed black and white stinky tofu at the top of the red menu pasted on the pillar by the door, and said, "Have a mix."

The eldest brother obviously can read lips a little bit, so he just nodded his head to express his understanding without having to look at which item Wei Yi pointed at.

Wei Yi scanned the QR code to pay 13 yuan. After the payment was completed, he carefully showed the payment record to the eldest sister. After confirmation, the eldest sister nodded and smiled to indicate that she had received it.

Then, Wei Yijing watched the uncle deftly pour black and white tofu into the two oil pans. The moment the tofu was put into the pan, there was a non-stop sizzling sound.

After 3 minutes, until the sound in the oil pan gradually quieted down, the black and white tofu swelled to varying degrees.

Brother, look at the right time to pick up the black and white tofu with an oil-sinking spoon, drain the oil and put it into a stainless steel bowl, then quickly add capers, seasonings and secret sauce to it, and wait until all the ingredients and seasonings are added. The hand of the small stainless steel spoon rested on the pepper jar, and looked up at Wei Yi with a smile.

Wei Yi, who had been concentrating on watching the uncle operate, instantly understood and nodded, expressing the need to add more spice.

There was a silent sense of oppression hanging over Wei Yi at the scene, which was particularly strong.

The most basic and simple communication we usually have has become extremely small at this moment.

But Wei Yi felt that the elder brother and elder sister were in a particularly good condition.

In such a big city, two people support each other to set up a small stall like this. Bowls of stinky tofu are served every day. This is their job and their life. It is hard work and happiness.

Wei Yi admires the eye contact between big brothers and big sisters the most.

The big brother gave the big sister a look as if saying: "You take a break."

The elder sister's eyes seemed to say: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not tired, you have a meal first."

This silent eye contact made Wei Yi feel what love is.

Love sometimes doesn't have to be said with the mouth, a look is enough.

The eldest brother held the black and white stinky tofu in a paper bowl with both hands, handed it to Wei Yi, nodded and smiled to indicate that Wei Yi was ready.

Wei Yi also took it with both hands, and the bowl of stinky tofu was taken over like a sacred torch handover ceremony.

As soon as Wei took the stinky tofu, there was no seat, so he found a corner and squatted down. First, he carefully placed the stinky tofu on the ground, then arranged the selfie stick and his mobile phone, and pointed it at himself to take a picture.

After finishing all this, Wei Yicai picked up the stinky tofu again, inserted a piece of stinky tofu with a bamboo skewer, and smelled it close to his nose. He smelled the stench for the first time, and smelled the strong aroma, which was very attractive. He put it into his mouth and chewed carefully. It is crispy but not mushy, tender but not greasy. It has the freshness of white tofu and the aroma and crispness of fried tofu, making it irresistible.

Because of the addition of chili, the taste is fresh and spicy, which is wonderful!

Stinky tofu uses high-quality soybeans as raw materials. Soybeans need to go through ten processes of screening, shelling, soaking, refining, filtering, boiling, pointing, forming, dicing, and fermentation. The production process is relatively complicated.

In the past, stinky tofu was generally regarded as an "unhealthy" food, but now it has suddenly become a good thing.

According to the report of Baodao "Kangjian" magazine, stinky tofu is rich in plant-based lactic acid bacteria, which has a good effect of regulating the intestinal tract and strengthening the stomach.

Known as the "father of plant-based lactic acid bacteria research", Professor Okada of RB Tokyo Agricultural University found that foods such as stinky tofu and kimchi contain high concentrations of phytobactericidal substances, including tannic acid and plant alkaloids, while plant-based lactic acid bacteria The survival rate in the intestinal tract is higher than that of animal lactic acid bacteria.

Regarding stinky tofu, the ancients once praised it: "The taste is more than beautiful, and the jade food should not be passed on."

It is enough to show that the ancients loved stinky tofu.

It not only has high nutritional value, but also has good medicinal value.

According to ancient medical books, stinky tofu can benefit qi in the cold, harmonize the spleen and stomach, relieve swelling and pain, clear heat and disperse blood, and turbid qi in the large intestine.

People who eat it regularly can strengthen their physique and build skin.

Eating stinky tofu also has a positive effect on preventing Alzheimer's disease.

A scientific study shows that once stinky tofu is made, the most significant change in nutritional composition is the synthesis of a large amount of vitamin B12.

Every 100 grams of stinky tofu can contain about 10 micrograms.

Lack of vitamin B12 can accelerate the aging process of the brain, thereby inducing Alzheimer's disease.

In addition to animal foods, such as meat, eggs, milk, fish, and shrimp, which contain more vitamin B12, fermented soybean products can also produce a large amount of vitamin B12, especially stinky tofu.

The business of stinky tofu all over the country is known as "no stinky, no money". According to analysis, the more beautiful beauties are, the more they like to eat stinky tofu.

After eating the bowl of stinky tofu in his hand, Wei Yi couldn't help but enjoy it in his heart. This stuff smells stinky and tastes delicious, just like durian, it makes people linger and forget to return!
At this time, the elder brother found Wei Yi squatting in the corner, so he took out a folding stool from the room and came to him.

As soon as Wei saw this, he quickly got up and declined, indicating that his paper bowl had bottomed out, so the elder brother gave up.

Wei Yi threw the paper bowl into the trash can, turned around and waved goodbye to his eldest brother and sister.

Such a strong and hard-working couple deserves all the kindness in the world.

The decision I made was correct!
