National teacher, your man ran away

"Master, it seems that the dried tofu in the backyard has been dried, do you want to put it away?" Douwa and Liangwa walked in from the outside, and immediately lowered their heads respectfully when they saw Mr. Guoshi, and reported the report in a polite manner.

"Is it ready for drying? The weather is almost ready for drying, let's go, take me to have a look." Yao Yixin hurriedly stood up and said.

This dried tofu was also a Mid-Autumn Festival gift that Yao Yixin was going to give to the elders of the Su family.The Su family's father was the same as his father before he was alive. He liked to drink a few sips when he had nothing to do. This dried tofu is a rare appetizer when it is ready.

The dried tofu made by Yao Yixin is different from the dried tofu sold in the market. The marinated tofu is cut into one-finger-thick tofu cubes. First, spread a layer of coarse salt and marinate overnight, then take it out Control the moisture, put it on a bamboo plaque to dry for a few days, and when the surface turns black with sauce and feels as hard as a stone, the dried tofu is almost ready to eat.

The dried tofu made in this way can be preserved for a long time. When eating, soak it in boiling water first, then cut some bacon or salted fish and spread it on top of the dried tofu. Chop the onion, ginger, garlic and dried chili and spread it evenly on top. It can be steamed on high heat. The dried tofu is particularly chewy, and it is fragrant and spicy when eaten with wine.

The reason why Yao Yixin made this is because this dried tofu can be regarded as a very famous "local product" there. People in the city go to the countryside to have fun at the farmhouse, and they always want to buy some local products to take with them when they go back. The usual free-range chicken and farm-raised Ducks and geese are common, but all kinds of dried vegetables dried by the farm are very popular because they are cheap and good.

In the previous life, in addition to growing wild vegetables, Yao Yixin’s family also made some local specialties such as dried tofu at home and sold them. One hundred catties of soybeans can produce about fifty catties of dried tofu. In addition to the cost, the net profit can reach About 1000 yuan, which is much more profitable than the rural people who farmed the land bitterly. Later, more and more people no longer planted rice, but changed to soybeans and corn and other coarse grains, because soybeans are made into soybeans. Dry, corn is made into pancakes, and the money earned is much more than simply selling rice, and it is also cheaper than growing rice.

The most important thing is that the bean dregs left over from making tofu can also be sold at farmhouses as ingredients.Don't look at this bean dregs that used to be fed to pigs in the countryside. It is cheap and delicious to make bean dregs cakes. Many city people drive more than an hour to their villages just to eat this authentic plate of bean dregs cakes.

"Hey, what is this?" Following Yao Yixin to the backyard, seeing the black dried tofu on the bamboo plaque that looked like stones, Master Guoshi was in a bad mood.

Although he guessed that this thing is for people to eat, but the master of the country said that this stone-like ingredient seems to test the teeth of diners... He is not sure whether he should be broken with his teeth Dangerous to try.

Just as she was thinking about it, Yao Yixin actually picked up a piece of dried tofu and tapped it on a rock in the yard. The hardness, tsk!Wild boars can't move, can they?Master Guoshi raised his eyebrows and thought.

"Okay! This hardness is just right, Douwa. Go to the kitchen and tell them to make more marinated tofu tomorrow. When the weather is good, let's dry more tofu. We can add more to the food shop in the future." A special dish." Yao Yixin nodded with satisfaction.

"Young master, you mean, this dried tofu is really for people to eat?" Is this edible?The bean baby couldn't help knocking her front teeth up and down, not sure if her fragile white teeth could chew this hard dried tofu like a rock...

"Hey~ I'll steam this dried tofu, young master. If you have the ability, don't eat it!"

"That, that won't work! What the young master cooks must be delicious! Eat it even if your teeth are broken!" Douwa immediately retorted. Countless iron-like facts have been proved, but whatever their young master says is delicious, It must be a good thing they have never eaten before. Maybe this stone-like dried tofu will be very delicious when it is cooked?

Master Guoshi also felt the same way.

"That's good! Let's make a dish of steamed tofu with fresh bacon tonight!" Yao Yixin waved his hand and told Douwa to take the dried tofu to the kitchen, soak them in boiling water, and remind him after half an hour.

If the dried tofu is to be chewy, it should not be soaked for too long, otherwise it will become soft, and it should not be too short, if it is too short, it will not be able to bite after steaming, half an hour is just right.

Taking advantage of the soaking time of the dried tofu, Yao Yixin took a bamboo basket to the vegetable garden in the backyard, picked out the green and red peppers, and picked half of the basket. Master Guoshi couldn't help drooling when he saw this pepper He's not greedy, it's just that he has a physical reaction when he thinks of the pungent aroma of chili peppers.

"Tonight, I'll make you a dish of steamed dried beans with bacon, and a dish of dried beans fried with chili. It's fun to keep! By the way, there are green apricot wine and mountain peach wine in the wine cellar. Which one do you want to drink?"

"Shantao Bar, although it has an astringent taste, but it has a good aftertaste." Master Guoshi ordered the restaurant familiarly. In fact, there were only two kinds of wine in Yao's wine cellar, and he had no choice at all.Moreover, the taste of mountain peach wine is more green and refreshing. For a salty party like him who likes heavy flavors, mountain peach wine tastes better with meals.

In the evening, Yao Yixin made a dish of steamed bacon with dried tofu with soaked dried tofu, then cut the dried tofu into slices and stir-fried it with shredded peppers. The saliva almost came out.

Anyway, Grandpa Zhu, who was still dozing in the yard, smelled the aroma of fried bean curd with shredded chili, and rarely needed someone to wake him up. He got up and ran to the dining hall to wait for the meal. Wine brought.

These mountain grapes were given by a little demon in the mountains to honor his old man. Grandpa Zhu didn't like sour ones, so he used them to make wine, and he poured and drank them himself every day, so he was at ease.

When dinner was served in the evening, these two new dishes were immediately praised by everyone, especially those who like to drink. The chewy, fragrant and spicy dried tofu is simply the best to go with wine and rice!Although the dried tofu is inconspicuous, even the dried tofu that has just been dried is a bit ugly, but when you eat it, you will find that the dried tofu that has been exposed to the sun has a strong aroma of soy products, and it is full of bacon The aroma of meat, the spiciness of chili, and the aroma of minced garlic. It can be said that although it is not meat, it is even more delicious than meat!

The master of the state and the genius doctor stared at each other while they were eating. It looked like there were a lot of dried beans, but in fact they were gone after a few chopsticks each. , there is not much dried tofu left on the plate...

"Well, I'll go and make some cucumbers in the cold salad for you." Yao Yixin was afraid that the two of them would fight, so she quickly stood up and added two appetizers, one was cucumbers, and the other was fried peanuts, and sprinkled them finely. A layer of salt powder is a classic snack with wine.After finishing these two dishes, Yao Yixin cut some lo mei out after thinking about the heavy taste of Master Guoshi, and put a plate of oily and hot peppers on the side for him to eat with it.

After eating and drinking, everyone went back to the room to wash up. At this time, Bai Shisan came over with a stack of papers.

"Master, the shop at the dock has been renovated. These are the materials used for the decoration and the wages of the workers. The total is 110 taels of money. Take a look."

"Also, about the shop's purchases, several grain, rice and noodle shops on the pier are now inquiring about it, and want to meet and talk with the young master, do you see?"

"There's no problem with the money. You take it to the cashier to enter the account, and then pay the money to pay the bill. I have other plans for the purchase, and I won't see them for the time being. You can help me back." Yao Yixin smiled with satisfaction, "Tomorrow, you will accompany me to the shop to have a look. If everything goes well, you might as well ask the Master to cut a banner for our restaurant while the Master is still here."

"Cutting the ribbon?" Bai Shisan looked at him curiously.

"Ahem! I mean, sir, please unveil the plaque for our food shop. Isn't our plaque written by your own hand? It even uses a seal." The corner of Yao Yixin's mouth twitched, suddenly remembering that there was no ribbon-cutting in this time and space.

"That's naturally the best! With the Master of the State Teacher here, I'm afraid the county magistrate will come to join us." Bai Shisan smiled, thinking in his heart, it's not just the magistrate, if the news spreads, I'm afraid that in the future even Lord Fu will support their Yao family.

Hearing that Yao Yixin was going to visit his family's shop, Su Nianbai had nothing to do, so he simply went with him, anyway, he was leaving tomorrow, so it happened that he followed Yao Yixin to the town to show his face today, so that some people who were not long Take a quick look at who is covering the Yao family. If you dare to play Yao Yixin's idea, first think about whether you can withstand the anger of the court.

Knowing that Master Guoshi will be leaving for his hometown tomorrow, Yao Yixin was stunned, and suddenly felt a little depressed. He wanted to use the name of Guoshi to make their shop open, but he is a busy person. Being able to stay in Yaojia Village for three days is already considered a good face for him. Besides, although the national teacher himself cannot participate in the opening ceremony, it is also a gimmick to have his autographed inscription and seal, Yao Yixin comforted himself.

"You don't seem very happy?" Is it because I heard that I'm leaving?Master Guoshi secretly added a sentence in his heart.

"Ah? No, haha, it's just too sudden to hear the news. I originally wanted to make more dried tofu for you to take home to eat in the past two days."

"I see that you filled most of the bag today?" The National Teacher asked in surprise.Just now when he saw Yao Yixin packing up the leftover dried tofu, he was still secretly delighted, wondering what if Zhu Miracle Doctor lived in Yao's house?Didn't Yao Yixin keep all the dried tofu for herself?

However, now it seems——

"Well, that's a gift for uncle..." Yao Yixin explained awkwardly.

Su Nianbai: "..."

The author has something to say: Pfft~ After writing this paragraph, I suddenly thought of an emoticon package that I often use recently.

Master Guoshi squeezed the little hedgehog's mouth: "Okay, don't say any more...

emmmm
