He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

After Lu Yan left the Chaoshi stall this time, she bought a few more pig's trotters when buying meat, and also carried a basket of soybeans.

Soybeans are a good thing and can be used for so many things.

Lu Yan first processed the pig's trotters when she returned home. Wash and chop the pig's trotters into sections, blanch them and set aside. Add sugar to the pot and stir-fry to make bubbles, then add the pig's trotters and stir-fry until caramel color appears on the surface. Add soy sauce, salt and wine, as well as the prepared spices and soybeans, cover and simmer for one and a half hours, which is half Two quarters of an hour.

Braised pig's trotters only used a small pot of soybeans, and there was still a big basket left. Lu Yan planned to grind soy milk to make tofu and various soy products, but the soybeans needed to be soaked, and fresh soybeans also needed to be soaked, so Lu Yan put them first The soybeans are soaked and will be cooked in the afternoon.

While the pig's trotters were stewed and soybeans were stewed, Lu Yan was not idle, and she was busy preparing the ingredients for the evening meal stall. An hour and a half passed quickly, and the braised pork trotters with soybeans was ready.

Braised pork trotters with soybeans

This dish is really delicious. The pig's trotters are soft, chewy and chewy, with a delicious fragrance. The mouth is full of collagen, and the soybeans soak up the soup. They are tough and crispy. It is so delicious that the whole family will add a prince. They all ate very satisfied.

Qi Yuan didn't know what was going on with him. He always felt that he was not a foodie, and the dishes cooked by the imperial chef were just that to him. But in the past few days in Lujiacun, he had nothing to do except lie down and recuperate. Every day when he had nothing to do, he just thought about what to eat next.

After lunch, Lu Yan went on to prepare the skewers to be sold in the evening. When everything was ready, the soybeans were almost soaked.

If you have a mill and a donkey at home, grinding soy milk is easy. After a while, a large vat of soy milk was ground out, and the remaining bean dregs were given to the donkey.

Lu Yan divided the soy milk into a pot and prepared it for the family to drink. The rest was left to dry in the courtyard. After a while, a layer of skin formed. Lu Yan took off the skin and left it to dry in the courtyard, one by one for seven days. Eight. After drying, roll it up, and this is the yuba, which can be added to the skewers.

Lu Yan ordered all the remaining soy milk into tofu curds, reserved half to make tofu puffs, and pressed the other half into tofu. When Lu Yanmu came back from the stall after selling the food, the tofu was just ready to be pressed.

Lu Yan hasn't eaten Mapo Tofu for a long time, so she just made it today to satisfy her craving.

Mapo Tofu originally used minced beef, but now the court does not allow the killing of farm cattle and beef is hard to buy, so Lu Yan used minced pork instead.

Stir-fry the minced pork first and put it aside for later use. Stir-fry the red oil with chili noodles and sauce, add the cut tofu cubes, add the prepared sauce and minced meat, thicken it three times, and sprinkle with chili after it is out of the pan. powder and pepper powder. The whole dish is spicy and fragrant, and the fragrance spreads far and wide. When it is cooked, the whole yard is filled with this overbearing fragrance.

Mabo tofu

Mapo tofu should be eaten hot. It tastes numb, spicy, hot and fresh when you eat it. The tofu tastes thin and tender. After taking two mouthfuls, beads of sweat rolled down your nose. You can eat twice as much dry food. Lu Sheng and Boss Lu were sweating profusely and enjoying themselves.

Qi Yuan couldn't eat anything too spicy, so he was only given a small plate. After eating this small dish, Qi Yuan, who had never spoken much, couldn't help but express his thoughts.

"This dish should be served with rice. I can eat three bowls." Qi Yuan said with a hint of regret.

Lu Yan glanced at Qi Yuan appreciatively and had a rare conversation with him: "You're so right, Mapo tofu should be served with rice. But do you know why I didn't make rice even though I knew it should be served with rice?"

Qi Yuan was stunned and asked involuntarily: "Why?"

"Because we don't have rice at home," Lu Yan said. "We rarely buy rice. There is not much rice in the grain stores, and the price is still expensive, five times the price of white flour."

Qi Yuan never expected this to be the reason, and couldn't believe it: "How could this happen?"

"You are from the capital. Of course you don't understand. In the capital, where can't we eat food? Even if the capital doesn't farm, there are many merchants who bring things from all over the country to sell." Lu Yan continued: "Big Not so in Yaoshan. We don’t grow rice, only wheat. Businessmen from other places can only see their shadows during the wheat harvest. They come to harvest our wheat and bring some grain from other places. So we can use it for food. , most of them are locally produced, and things like rice that are not grown locally have become a rarity, right?”

Qi Yuan nodded slowly and thoughtfully: "I probably understand."

Lu Yan wanted to continue to explain to him what the problem was in Dayaoshan and how to help the poor more accurately, but she was afraid that what she said would make him wary and doubt her, so she decided not to cause trouble for herself, so she simply didn't say anything and held her empty hand The bowl is gone.

Soon the next day came, and Lu Yan added tofu curd to her food. The hot tofu pudding with the marinated sauce costs two cents a bowl. The main idea is to make small profits but quick turnover. As always, it sells very fast. Many people who are reluctant to eat in the morning came to buy a bowl.

Lu Yan went home and found that after being raised for a few days, Qi Yuan had recovered quickly and could already walk slowly while holding on to the wall.

Because Qi Yuan has never been a demon, Lu Yan's attitude towards him has improved a lot. Qi Yuan and Lu Sheng especially chatted a lot. They are not usually talkative people, but they can chat for a long time when they get together.

"Those who come from the capital are knowledgeable." Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Yan thought to herself, isn't this nonsense? He is not just from the capital, he is also the prince!

Lu Yan didn't care about their strange friendship. She still made food every day, went out to make money, raised several people in the family like pigs, and forced Lu Sheng to go out to exercise.

After several months of feeding, Lu Sheng's height has really increased a lot. He has grown from Song Bowen's chin to Song Bowen's nose. After a few more months, he might surpass Song Bowen.

But there is still a big gap between him and the prince. The prince is indeed the standard male protagonist in romance novels. He is tall and has long legs. Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lu Sheng staring at the prince's long legs several times.
