I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket
Chapter 21 Trying to Make Tofu
Wen Shutang felt a little distressed when he saw this. After all, he was just a child, and he must feel bad when being pointed at and called a bastard.
She walked up to Xiao Ye, put her arms around him, and patted his back soothingly.
"never mind."
Xiao Ye hugged Wen Shutang's neck tightly with his two little hands, and curled up in her arms, staying very quiet and silent.
He had never dared to dream that his stepmother would stand up for him or even beat him. He had never felt the love of his mother since he could remember. Today, he felt the love of his mother from Wen Shutang. It was different from the serious concern of his father. This was a kind of love that wanted him to be dependent on her.
Xiao Yizhuo stood aside and watched the two of them, his originally cold expression gradually thawing.
Wen Shutang patiently held Xiao Ye and waited for him to calm down: "Aye, what do you want to eat in the morning? Do you want to try some egg custard? I bought a few eggs from Aunt Sun."
Xiao Ye raised his head when he heard there was something delicious. He sniffed, and his nasal sound was a little strong.
"want."
Wen Shutang patted his little head and said, "Then I'll go cook, and Ah Ye can go play with my little sister for a while."
Xiao Ye nodded. He had recovered by now. He lowered his head embarrassedly, responded, turned around and ran back to the house.
Xiao Yizhuo walked to Wen Shutang and said, "I'll help you."
"No, I want to ask you for help after dinner."
Wen Shutang turned his head and winked at him slyly, then went to the kitchen to busy himself.
Xiao Yizhuo stood there looking at her back, raising his eyebrows in confusion.
Wen Shutang went into the kitchen, took out the eggs he bought from Aunt Sun yesterday, and hummed a tune in a good mood.
Cui Qiuhong's family all like girls very much. After Erfeng was born, she was raised in the palm of her hand. Now that she is bullied by Xiaohu, Cui Qiuhong will definitely not easily bypass Tian Yan's family. At least during this period of time, Tian Yan's family will definitely not have an easy time.
The method of making egg custard is very simple. You just need to beat the eggs and add a little salt and an appropriate amount of water. If you want the surface of the egg custard to be smooth without small holes, you need to remove the foam in the bowl before steaming it.
Put the egg water into the pot and wait for ten minutes before eating.
Seeing that there was no one around, Wen Shutang entered the space and took out the bag of soybeans.
This bag of soybeans weighs about two pounds, and one pound of beans can produce about three pounds of tofu.
Wen Shutang touched her chin. It was her first time making tofu and she didn’t know if she could succeed, so she decided to try using less.
She took a scale and weighed a pound of beans, put them in a basin and soaked them in water. The first step in making tofu is to soak the beans. The washed soybeans need to be soaked in water for six hours.
After all the beans were soaked, steam came out of the big pot and the egg custard was almost cooked.
Wen Shutang opened the lid of the pot, and a large bowl of tender and tempting eggs made her appetite grow. She thought about it and baked a few more sweet potatoes as the staple food for the morning, and also cooked the wontons that she had made too much last time.
She served out a few bowls of wontons and placed the bowls on the table outside.
"time to eat."
Not long after Wen Shutang finished speaking, Xiao Ye pulled Xiao Wan out of the house, and Xiao Yizhuo followed behind them holding Xiao Ze.
After everyone sat down, Wen Shutang brought the food to the table and handed Xiao Ze a pair of chopsticks.
"How's your leg? Does it still hurt?"
Xiao Ze took the chopsticks and shook his head. He looked much better than in the previous few days. He had been staying in bed for the past few days and was almost suffocated. Today, he couldn't stand it anymore and asked Xiao Yizhuo to take him out for some fresh air.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's fine. We can move around after a few more days." Wen Shutang nodded.
Xiao Ye had fully recovered by now. He stared at the bowl of egg custard and couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.
Wen Shutang laughed, took a few small bowls and gave each of them a bowl of egg custard.
"Eat it. I used several eggs. It will definitely be enough."
After getting permission, Xiao Ye took the lead in picking up the bowl, blew on it and took a sip.
The tender and smooth eggs paired with the salty and fresh soy sauce have a unique taste, they are fragrant, tender and exceptionally delicious.
Xiao Ye's eyes widened immediately: "It's delicious!"
The other two children were a little greedy when they saw his reaction. They each picked up the bowl and took a bite. Both of them showed the same surprised expression as Xiao Ye.
Egg custard is more tender and dense than ordinary boiled eggs, and leaves a lingering fragrance on the tip of the tongue.
Looking at their expressions, Wen Shutang nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing the three kids eating with great relish, Xiao Yizhuo also became curious about the tender yellow egg custard. He scooped a spoonful and took a sip, and suddenly a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Then he pushed the bowl in front of Wen Shutang: "You eat."
Wen Shutang took another bowl and divided the egg custard into two portions, pushing one of them to Xiao Yizhuo.
"Eat it. There are eggs too. We'll make it next time."
After saying that, he scooped a spoonful of egg custard into his mouth, squinting his eyes in satisfaction. It was still the familiar taste.
Xiao Yizhuo glanced at her and said nothing, then lowered his head and ate quietly.
After dinner, Xiao Wan once again took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Wen Shutang patted Xiao Yizhuo on the shoulder: "Come and help me."
Xiao Yizhuo nodded, stood up and followed her to the corner of the yard.
Wen Shutang pointed to the stone mill in the corner and said, "Please clean this thoroughly for me. I want to use it."
"What do you want to grind?" Xiao Yizhuo was a little puzzled. This thing had been here for a long time and was always covered with dust. He didn't know what Wen Shutang suddenly wanted to use it for.
"I bought some soybeans from my aunt, and I thought I could use them to make tofu."
Hearing this, Xiao Yizhuo was even more confused. Tofu? How come he had never heard of this thing? But he didn't refuse. He turned around to get a bucket of water and started to clean the millstone.
While Xiao Yizhuo was cleaning the millstone, Wen Shutang went to the kitchen to check the beans. He said that they needed to be soaked for six hours but that was not entirely true. It was enough to soak the beans until water seeped into them.
It turned out that she was too impatient, and the beans were not soaked yet.
Wen Shutang went to look through the condiments in the cupboard again. Tofu is usually made with brine or gypsum. Brine is the part that is separated when making salt. She didn't know if there was brine or gypsum in this place.
In fact, you can use high-concentration white vinegar to season tofu, but the tofu made in this way will have a sour taste, so people rarely use white vinegar to season tofu.
What people don’t know is that as long as you control the proportions correctly, tofu cooked with white vinegar will be thicker and whiter.
But after searching for a long time, Wen Shutang only found a small bottle of white vinegar, which seemed to be enough for one use.
Only 20 grams of white vinegar is needed for one pound of beans.
Xiao Wan stood aside washing dishes and stole glances at Wen Shutang out of the corner of her eyes. She was now particularly curious about this stepmother. She was curious about how she made so many delicious foods.
