Chapter 517 Steamed Tofu

Chapter 517 Steamed Tofu

"Isn't it bad?" Mother Su pinched her nose and muttered in a low voice, "Our toilet doesn't stink that bad either."

Su Ziling: "..."

"Aniang~" Su Ziling turned to look at her, her face full of helplessness.

"This is what this tofu tastes like, stinky tofu. If it doesn't smell stinky, would it still be called stinky tofu?"

Su Ziling said as she took away the old cotton clothes and straw covering the tofu.

As soon as the things on top were taken away, the smell became even stronger. Su's mother just pinched her nose just now, but now she covered her mouth and nose together.

Looking at the layer of fluff on the tofu, her eyes widened, and she pointed at the tofu and said, "Look, look, let me tell you, it's all hairy." (Mao Tofu)

Seeing that layer of fluff, Su Ziling was quite satisfied. The corners of her mouth raised high as she said, "Mommy, this tofu also has a name, it's called hairy tofu."

"Ah?" Mother Su blinked, "Didn't you mean stinky tofu?"

"Ang, it's called stinky tofu, also called hairy tofu." Su Ziling took out the dustpan directly, "Aniang, even though it doesn't look good and smells bad, it tastes delicious. , the more you eat, the better you will get, you will know later.”

Mother Su followed her and closed the door smoothly, "Can you still eat it if it smells so bad? The hair on the rotten sweet potatoes at our house is not that long."

Su Ziling didn't explain. This was the first time she smelled it. She couldn't accept seeing such long hair. She would be fine once she tasted it.

No one can resist the smell of stinky tofu. Even if it’s not smelly, it’s not delicious.

Su Ziling took out a brand new dustpan and placed the tofu on it piece by piece, "Mom, you can cook later."

Although Mother Su didn't understand why she wanted the tofu when it was already like this, she still helped to put it together, "Ah? What are you going to do? Didn't you say you wanted to make this tofu? I've never seen this before. , I can’t do it. I still want to help in the workshop.”

"I'm going to pick some green cabbage leaves and let them dry in the sun for a day. Then I can make tofu with the cabbage leaves in the evening. With so much tofu, let's pick half of the tofu and half of the cabbage leaves."

Tofu and vegetable leaves need to be dried in the sun. If the weather is good, it will only take one day. If the weather is bad, it will take two days.

Because she wasn't sure whether the stinky tofu would be ready, Su Ziling didn't dry the vegetable leaves in advance.

"Just cook the rice and I'll come back to cook the dishes."

Hearing her words, Su's mother nodded in agreement, "Well, let's just lay out the tofu like this, right?"

"Well, let's dry it for a day today. Remember to turn it over during the day. Don't dry it too much, otherwise it won't taste good and the hair will become wilted."

When Su Ziling saw Mother Su drying herself in the sun, she simply went into the house and took out a small basin. She saw that the shape was not very good and there were still leftovers, so she picked it up and put it in the basin.

"Did you pick it up and eat it? Is it too much?"

"Not much. One bowl of cold food, one bowl of steamed food, and it's gone after two meals. If it wasn't for marinating, I would have kept more."

Su Ziling really likes to eat stinky tofu. Whether it is cold, fried or steamed, she can eat three or four pieces in one meal.

"I'll cook it next time if I like it. I don't have beans at home. Last time you asked me to harvest the beans, the villagers sent over all the extra beans at home. There are many people, young and old, who have saved them. Excluding those who make seeds, there are still two hundred How many pounds?"

"Your eldest brother only sells soy milk and does not make tofu. We don't use many beans today. Next year everyone will learn to interplant. I guess there will be more beans. Then we can consider making tofu and selling them."

The more Mother Su talked, the happier she became. The corners of her mouth could not help but rise, and there was a smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"I also have this idea. When the time comes, I can make soft tofu, and then I can customize a special pot for frying tofu. I can sell it in restaurants first, and then sell it in the mountain col after it is formed. It can be turned into a small market. All the nearby villagers come to the market, and the passing caravans and others will also come to eat and buy goods, so it will be very lively. "

"Can it be done?" Mother Su glanced at her, with shock that could not be concealed in her eyes.

"Will they come?"

"Yes, why not? Our area is very far from the county seat and the town. If a market is built here, it will be convenient for a lot of people. Then they can bring whatever they want to sell. By selling, you can not only make money, but also buy some needles, thread, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., so you don’t have to go to the county, which wastes a lot of time. "

"That's it. It's enough for two meals. If you leave too much, it won't stink." Su Ziling saw that the small basin was full and stopped.

"Auntie, you dry it first, and I'll get the vegetables back."

"Go, go," Su's mother waved her hand, "I can do this myself. When I come back, I will pull out a handful of coriander and dig up a handful of root. I haven't eaten it for a while."

"Ang, I got it." Su Ziling put a basket on her back, a bucket, a sickle and a hoe and went out.

Even if Su’s mother told her not to tell her, she would dig up the Zheergen root and use it to mix with stinky tofu.

Afraid that the vegetable leaves would wilt after a day in the sun, Su Ziling didn't pull the particularly big ones, but instead looked at the thin leaves and stems.

She didn't want to pack more, just a small jar, so she didn't bother with much.

She was very fast. She took the vegetables, pulled out the cilantro, dug up the roots of the ears, and washed the mud directly with the water in the ditch.

After finishing all this, before the sun came out, she simply carried a bucket and watered the pepper field.

The weather was too dry, so she watered it every day during this period. After watering, she lifted up the millipede grass on top to check the germination status.

It had been several days, and the pepper seeds had just sprouted, and the germination was pretty good. Looking at the white and clean feet, she felt even better.

These days are the critical moment to restore the leaves. You still have to water them frequently, otherwise they will all die in the sun for one day.

When I got home, Su's mother was not at home, and the steamer was steaming in the big pot. Only Su A'nai was watching the fire.

"Grandma, where is my mother?"

"I went to the workshop to help. I was told that if I made two more kilograms of vermicelli, I could sell two more kilograms of vermicelli. I was told to watch the fire."

Su A'nai put the firewood into the pot and said, "I didn't cook, so I steamed a bowl of sour mustard seeds in the steamer."

"It's okay, I'll just come." Su Ziling washed her hands, took out a bowl, put eight pieces of tofu in it, added a lump of lard, a little salt, and sprinkled some grass fruits and pepper powder.

After the seasonings are put in, pick up the steamer, put the tofu in the pot, and put the steamer back.

The bottom of their steamer is relatively high. Every time you steam rice, you can steam a bowl of eggs or hot vegetables under the steamer.
