butcher's cook

??Bai Ning was a bit overwhelmed by eating stewed dried tofu, so he bought another plate of tofu.

?? "Brother Ning, why did you buy so much tofu again?"

?? "Make dried tofu."

??Mistress Xu: "You've been eating tofu for days and it's dry, what's the matter? Are you still not tired of eating?"

??Bai Ning waved his hand, "This time, change the way of eating."

?? "If you don't eat it brine, how else can you eat it?"

?? Bai Ning was a bit mysterious, "You will find out later."

??Bai Ning is making that kind of kang tofu this time. This kind of cold and fried meat is fine, but some people like the smoky taste, and some people don't like it.

??Dried bean curd on the kang requires heat, and you must also pay attention to the smell of firewood. Some firewood smells bad, and the dried tofu from the kang will not taste right.Of course, it is best to use sawdust for this kind of kang tofu.

?? Bai Ning made a deal with Carpenter Chen for seven taels of silver. Carpenter Chen still had an image of him, so when he heard that Bai Ning wanted to buy sawdust, he gave him all the sawdust without saying a word.

??Bai Ning did not give hard money, the two families are not very far away, the distance of a street.So, after making dried tofu, I mixed a large bowl and sent it to him.

?? "You have half of the credit for this dried tofu. Did you taste it? It's also my first time making it."

?? Carpenter Chen took the dried tofu and asked his wife to make a bowl for it. He thanked him again and again, "Boss Bai is interested, so he made a special trip to deliver it."

?? "Efforts with little effort."

??Dried tofu is different from stewed tofu.Although people in this era love oil and water, they eat lightly. After all, salt is expensive.The taste of brine is strong, so there is no need to add other seasonings.But mixed dried tofu is different. When kang tofu is dried, no other seasoning is added, so you need to work hard on the seasoning.

??Scallions, ginger and garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and finally some five-spice powder and pepper powder.

"Uncle, do you know where there is a stone mill?"

?? "What do you want the stone mill for?"

?? "Grind the spices into powder, which will be more delicious and avoid being seen by others."

?? Liu Laosan slapped his hands, "That's right, why didn't I think of that?"

?? "Are you as smart as Brother Ning?" Miss Xu answered coolly.

?? Liu Laosan is stuck, he is really not as smart as Brother Ning.

?? Not to mention, this brother Ning doesn't know how to grow his head, but he can come up with so many ways to eat it.

"Brother Ning, there are ready-made stone mills, one for a tael of silver, what do you think of the price?"

??Bai Ning thought it was a little expensive, but he didn't think so when looking at the size of Shimo.He thought, such a big stone mill, if he does it once, is it enough for the stone mill to plug the cracks?

?? "Could it be too big? You see, I only have this amount for a catty of pepper."

?? Lady Xu glared at the man, "It's really big, Brother Ning only grinds spices and so on. If you buy such a big stone mill, you can use it to grind grain."

"Then I'll take it back for a change?" Liu Laosan asked tentatively. Since his daughter-in-law got better day by day, her spirit has also improved, and she is a bit fierce when she yells.

?? "No need, we can grind bean curd."

?? "Douhua? What is it?"

??The tofu curd is the specialty of the little friend’s parent. It is very famous for making tofu curd. After the end of the world, Bai Ning has eaten the bean curd, and the taste is indeed worthy of its reputation.

?? But the most important thing to make bean curd is its dipping water. It tastes delicious when dipped in water. If the dipping fails, then the bean curd will also fail.

?? "For dishes made with tofu, I will soak the beans tonight, and tomorrow we will make tofu curds."

?? "Okay, I believe the food made by Geer Ning is absolutely delicious."

??Xiao Bao also called out, "Douhua, eat Douhua."

??Bai Ning planted another batch of cornus officinalis, and used cornel to make chili. The taste was not authentic, but after adding ginger, garlic, shallots and coriander, the taste was [-]% similar.

"This dogwood is still not as good as chili peppers. I heard that rice cake chili peppers are used to make bean curd dipped in water. The taste is amazing." Bai Ning asked Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, is chili pepper particularly delicious?"

??Unfortunately, there are no seeds in this little guy's space.

??Xiao Bao frowned, "Spicy, not tasty, Daddy is bad."

?? "You are an idiot who can't eat tender grass, so I won't tell you."

?? "Hmph, Xiaobao doesn't tell Daddy either." He turned his head away as he spoke.

??Liu Laosan laughed at the father and son, and then couldn't help but think of the chili sauce that Brother Ning described just now.He, Liu Laosan, felt that the cornel sauce was made delicious by Ning Geer. He had never seen anyone make such a delicious cornel sauce before, so he couldn't help asking, "That chili tastes so good." ?”

?? "Really, the taste of chili is stronger. I have eaten it once. It is unique to people outside, but it is a pity that it is not available here."

?? Liu Laosan also felt regretful. He obviously wouldn't think about these things before, but after living in the street with Ning Geer, he was fed by Ning Geer's food every now and then, and he was also raised got used to.

??Mistress Xu: "Have you two forgotten what this place is?"

?? Bai Ning and Liu Laosan looked at him together, and even Xiao Bao listened closely.

"Where is it, isn't this the county? I went to the grocery store and asked, but I didn't hear about it." Bai Ning was puzzled.

??Mistress Xu pointed in one direction, "What are you talking about here?"

??"pier."

?? Yes, the dock.

??It is still a big pier, and ships from many places will pass here, so...

?? "Second aunt, you really can use your brain." Bai Ning boasted.

?? "That's because you're all absorbed in the bean curd."

??Bai Ning admits that he is thinking about it a little bit. Peace is rare in this world. In the last few years of his previous life, he lived a life of ups and downs. It is really great that he is well now.

??The original owner's natal relatives were found, and Miss Xu was healed. Unfortunately, neither the original owner nor his nephew survived.He and Xiaobao occupied the bodies of the original owner and his nephew, always wanting to avenge him.

?? But this matter is not urgent. Ms. Xu's family has not established a firm foothold yet. Let's talk about it after a while.

?? "Then I have time to inquire."

"Brother Ning, isn't that guy who often eats noodles and stewed pork the little steward at the pier? You can ask him to ask the boatmen, they have a lot of dealings, and they are better than brainless people like us. "

?? "Yeah, why didn't I think of it, daughter-in-law, you are so smart." Liu Laosan praised repeatedly.

??To make bean curd, Bai Ning also wanted to try whether the bean curd is good or not. The bean curd goes better with rice, so they had to steam the rice and grind the beans, so they got up earlier the next day.

??There is no donkey to pull the mill, just manpower. It took more than an hour to grind a bucket of beans.

??Fortunately, this big family is here. If one person can't do it, the other one can connect, so it's not tiring to do it.

"Oh, it's finally been ground. It doesn't look like much, but it took so much effort." Lady Xu looked at the two buckets of ground beans, full of a sense of accomplishment, "Brother Ning, I can't tell You are thin and small, but you are so strong, stronger than your uncle and brother."

"Haha, I've been like this since I was a child." Bai Ning could only explain it this way.

?? "Brother Ning, tell me quickly, what do you do now?"

?? "Pour it into a pot and bring it to a boil, then filter the bean dregs. The bag I asked you to sew yesterday is for filtering the bean dregs."

??It was the first time to make bean curd, and the whole family was very interested. They gathered around the stove, and even Xiaobao joined in the fun.

?? "Second Aunt, open it, and it's about to fill up. Dashan helped lift the bag."

?? "Okay, Xiaobao, come over a little bit, be careful it's hot."

??After working for a long time, I finally filtered out the soy milk, "Hey, it's early in the morning, and I'm sweating all over."

?? "I haven't done it yet, everyone is in a hurry." Bai Ning took five large bowls and put sugar on the bottom.

??Xu Niangzi: "Brother Ning, what are you doing, you still put brown sugar? You also put sugar in the beancurd!"

?? "No, this is soy milk. The soy milk just out of the pot is nutritious. It's delicious! Second aunt, come and drink a bowl."

?? "Then I'll try it." Ms. Xu has never seen this kind of thing before, and besides, this thing is made from beans, it is not expensive, and Ms. Xu doesn't feel bad at all when she drinks it.Now, she is used to drinking bone broth.

?? "Uncle, Dashan, you also drink soy milk."

?? "Well, it's delicious. It's just too troublesome. Even if it's steeped, it needs to be ground, boiled and shaken in bags."

?? "Haha, I didn't expect that such a cheap thing as beans could make such good things." Lady Xu also lamented that beans are cheap, and can live in any field, and they don't need people to take care of them. Every family grows it, but it tastes bad.

?? "The big ones are done, and the only thing left is some bean curds in marinade."

"Brother Ning, do you want to light a fire?"

?? "Don't burn the fire, just wait for it to take shape, and then boil it."

??The first time I ordered bean curd, Bai Ning was very careful. This is the result of a whole morning's busy work. If it fails, I will be so frustrated.

??He is also clever, adding salt bittern slowly, half a teaspoon at a time, after a while, if it doesn't work, come again, and finally get it out for him.

?? Don't look early, a few people fumbled around, and it was already past eight or nine o'clock when the bean curd was cooked.

"Second Aunt, hurry up, come and eat bean curd, dip it in water and add toppings yourself." Bai Ning greeted a few people, and he brought bean curd and rice to the next door.

?? Mrs. Xu and Liu Laosan looked at his back and looked at each other, feeling that there was something interesting about this.

??Tan Tuhu was busy at □□, which was basically his busiest time. When he saw Bai Ning, he only hurriedly greeted him.

?? Bai Ning put down the bean curd, and after his guests left, he introduced, "Brother Tan, this is our new bean curd. Let me try it for you. It's easy to eat. Just dip the bean curd in water, and eat the rice. If you are not used to eating it, I will go back and make noodles for you.”

??Tan Ming nodded, "Brother Bai has a heart, this tofu tastes good, how much is it, I will give it to you."

?? "Hey, didn't you agree, you will pay at the end of the month, that's it, I'll go back first."

??The guys were all tired all morning, and they were all starving. If it wasn't for the tofu curd that Bai Ning mentioned, they would have already ordered noodles to fill their stomachs.

?? "Well, Brother Ning, you can't get used to this bean curd at the beginning. It's delicious if you eat two more bites."

?? "That's right, I heard that bean curd rice is a specialty of a place in Sichuan, and every family eats it."

?? "Store, a bowl of plain noodles with braised chicken feet."

?? Coincidentally, they only ate half of it, and someone came.

?? "Okay, you do it for a while, and I'll be here soon."

?? "Shopkeeper, you just had dinner today, hey. What are you eating? Why haven't you seen it before?"

??Bai Ning immediately had an idea, and greeted, "Douhua, the new food, do you want to try it? A bowl of rice and a bowl of Douhua are only five yuan, and rice is also two yuan per bowl."

??The bowls they eat are also big, and one bowl is enough for many people.

??The man thought, a bowl of bean curd and a bowl of rice is only five renminbi, which is about the same as eating two noodles. "It's okay, I will try this bean curd too."

??Bai Ning quickly brought out a bowl of bean curd, added dipping water for him, and personally taught him how to eat it, "Guest, take a look at the taste of this dipping water. If it's weak, I'll add salt for you. "

?? "Well, why is this tofu curd softer than tofu, it is suitable for my mother to eat."

?? "That's okay, no need to talk."

??This is the first time to do the bean curd business. I soaked five catties of soybeans, and produced about 40 bowls of bean curd.The bowl that Bai Ning used to hold noodles was more than half of the bowl, except for their own food.43 bowls were sold, which is 260 Wuwen.

?? Soybeans cost three cents a catty, five catties fifteen cents, and even brine was less than five cents.The rice was steamed for ten catties, or seventy wen.

??Bai Ning did some calculations and said, "The cost was about 260 Wen. We sold it for 160 Wen. Not counting our own food, we earned [-] Wen."

?? Everyone didn't expect this business to make so much money. Miss Xu said, "Brother Ning, this business can be done, but it's a little more troublesome."

?? Bai Ning shook his head, "I didn't intend to start this business, but I just wanted to do this. If you, Second Aunt, open your own business in the future, you can do it if you want to, or sell it to others if you don't. Hard earned money."

??Mistress Xu: "Stupid child, who doesn't work hard to earn money? Look at the workers who carry goods on the pier. They only earn twenty or thirty yuan a day."

?? Bai Ning nodded, "I know, it's just that you are still in good health, Second Aunt, Dashan is still growing, and Uncle is not in good shape after hunting all year round. It's not worthwhile if you are overtired."

??Liu Laosan also thought about his wife's body, and hurriedly said, "Brother Ning is right, your body is not fully recovered yet, we will wait until you are fully recovered."
