Xu Hui looked up at Xiao Da Yong. This idiot knew that she was right when he saw her thoughts, but Gou Sheng and his mother couldn't tell at all, so how could he?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu Hui nodded and admitted, "It's my first time. I wonder if I can do it?"
"What?" Dazong's daughter-in-law, is this your first time doing this? I thought you did. It's not like you did it for the first time. "
"That's right, sister-in-law. I thought you had made tofu before, but since you've never made tofu before, how do you know what this tofu is made of?"
"Book!"
What? Xiao Da Yong, Gou Sheng and Xiao Xiuer all stared at Xu Hui with their eyes wide open. They did not dare to believe what they had heard.
Xu Hui was confused by their stares. What was going on? What did she say? Why did it feel like she had seen an alien?
The three of them were stunned for a while. Xiao Xiuer then asked Xu Hui curiously, "Sister-in-law, why is it written on the books that you need to make tofu?" After all, she had watched her Third Uncle grow up reading books, and she had always thought that the books were profound things that they could not understand. This was the first time she realized that there was actually a book written to make tofu.
"Why is there anything in the book?" Xiao Da Yong was also very curious. After he married Xu Hui, he found out that there was a war story written in the book, and he also wrote about ghosts and deities, thinking that this was all that was written in the book. Who knew that Xu Hui would actually tell him that there were people taught to make tofu in the book?
When he thought about how difficult it was for the ancients to acquire knowledge, and how some people would never know how to write their own names, Xu Hui explained patiently, "There are many types of books. There are books on how to make tofu, poems, songs, anecdotes, rural books on how to teach people how to fight, military books on how to teach people how to fight, and even books on how to build houses. Of course, there are also books on how to make tofu.
The three of them widened their eyes and stared at Xu Hui without blinking. Xu Hui felt her hair stand on end. They were not wrong. What were they trying to do?
After a long while, Xiao Dazong smiled and said, "Wifey, you know a lot!" Everyone could clearly see the proud expression of "I'm so lucky" that didn't come out of his mouth.
Xu Hui could not help but laugh. This idiot!
It was about time, Xu Hui opened the lid and was relieved to see that the tofu brain had condensed. She scooped out two bowls of hot tofu brain and asked Xiao Xiuer to mix them to eat.
He placed the crushed bean curd into a large basin. Since there was no plate to press the tofu, Xu Hui could only place it into a large basin and place a cloth on top of it. He used a thick layer of cloth to press it down hard to let the water from the tofu be filtered out, and then he used a brick to press it onto a thick layer of tofu.
After drinking the sweet soy milk and eating the smooth tofu brains, everyone was filled with anticipation for the best tofu. Even though it was already quite late, none of them wanted to sleep and wait to see what the tofu was made of.
Xiao Da Yong and Gou Sheng were not on time tomorrow night, so they were not afraid of getting up late.
Xu Hui thought for a moment, then took out a piece of hard paper that was used to make the sole of her shoes. She cut the strip into pieces, and after drawing it with a brush, she washed it together and said, "Since you're not tired, then just play cards!"
"Sister-in-law, what is this?" , Plum Blossom and the others also looked at Xu Hui curiously. The cards in their hands;
Xu Hui raised a card and said, "Ye-zi!"
"Oh? "So this is Ye, I've heard that rich people in the town like to play this. I heard it's especially fun!" Xiao Dazong hurriedly told Xu Hui in a loud voice that he did not know much about all aspects.
Xu Hui nodded her head, "Hubby is right, this is the Leaf Board. Although we don't have the exquisite Leaf Board that others bought, it doesn't affect our playing. I'll tell everyone how to play this. Let's play together." Compared to the poker cards of this era, Xu Hui was more willing to make a leaf card based on the original owner's memories. Similarly, she did not find the leaf card inferior to the poker card, and the leaf card was the world's earliest card, fully demonstrating the intelligence of our people.
People without entertainment, once they had entertainment projects, were unimaginably crazy.
After a while, Xiao Da Yong and the others, who were familiar with the rules, started to fight. This was especially so for Xiao Xiuer. She was able to understand the little tricks behind the cards very quickly and even grew up quickly. Xu Hui thought that this girl should be well-groomed.
Time flew by when he was playing cards, but before he could feel it, the tofu could already be covered.
When everyone reached the kitchen, Niuniu and Er Wa followed curiously.
He moved the brick away and picked up the thick tofu. Xu Hui and everyone else looked at the white tofu and were very happy.
Niuniu clapped her hands and shouted, "Tofu, it's tofu!"
"Eat, eat!" Er Wa's anxious words were unclear.
Xu Hui cut the tofu horizontally and horizontally a few times, then used the knife to scoop up a piece from the side and put it into the bowl. Everyone hurriedly used the chopsticks to scoop it up.
Xiao Da Yong and the rest felt that it was good. Xiao Da Yong even felt that the tofu made by his wife was whiter and more tender than the tofu he had eaten before. Xu Hui thought for a moment. The tofu Xiao Dayong and the others ate should have been old tofu with a bit of brine. This kind of gypsum tofu was naturally a little more tender than old tofu.
After eating the tofu, the group chatted for a while. Finally, they got tired and fell asleep on the brick bed.
Hearing Xiao Dazong call "Big Brother Da Hu", Xu Hui immediately got up from the brick bed. Da Hu and Xiao Hu were Lin Qianhu's janissaries who had followed him since they were young.
Just as Xu Hui put on her cotton clothes, she saw Xiao Dazong carrying a bag of items in, and hurriedly asked: Was it Big Brother Da Hu just now? What is he doing here? "
"Lin Qianhu said that today is a small new year. Get Big Brother Da Hu to send us some things!"
Xu Hui jumped off the brick bed and opened the bag that Xiao Dazong had brought in, exclaiming in surprise. Xiao Dazong also looked around and saw a bundle of black ribbons at the top, and a bag of strange little things at the bottom. Other than the cabbage and radishes at the bottom, he did not recognize any of the black straps or the black straps.
Xiao Dazong picked up a black lid and sniffed it, asking Xu Hui, "What the hell is this black lid? It smells weird! "
"It's a lentinus edodes, more like a mushroom than a mushroom." Xu Hui did not expect the Lin Qianhu to send him kelp and lentinus edodes, especially kelp. Xu Hui thought that there might not be anything here, but she did not expect the Lin Qianhu to deliver it.
The kelp was the best thing for them as it was not iodized salt like the salt they ate in the future. Xu Hui had always been worried about the lack of iodine, but now with kelp, it would be too much of a tragedy.
Ribbon Ribbon Soup, Mushroom Chicken, all kinds of delicious food suddenly appeared in Xu Hui's mind.
Xiao Dayong looked at the black band in disbelief. He had secretly bitten into it just now, but it was too hard to bite through and it was salty and fishy. His daughter-in-law actually said she wanted to take the stewed pork chop, could it taste good?
Xu Hui rolled her eyes at Xiao Dazong. If you have the ability to stew it later, don't eat it.
Since it was already time for breakfast, Xu Hui stopped making breakfast. She mixed the bean curd with noodles, beat up two eggs, and baked some bean curd cakes. Whoever was hungry first had to eat some cushions.
If Xu Hui wanted to have a Shanghai soup with ribs at noon, she naturally could not use that kind of method. Xu Hui directly put a bundle of kelp into a steamer and steamed it for half an hour, not afraid that it would be too wasteful to eat all the kelp in one steamer. After being steamed well, it would not be bad to hang it on the side, but how much would she get if she ate while eating?
The steamed kelp can be eaten directly after soaking it in water for more than two hours. Because it had been steamed for a long time, the kelp was very soft. There were children and elderly people in the house, so this kind of taste should be very popular.
While they were soaking in the kelp, Xu Hui, Gou Sheng and his mother had started to clean up the lunch of the new year.
With this shopping spree, they no longer needed to use all the mental energy they had in order to make salty porridge. With so many ingredients to use, Xiao Nian definitely had to eat a good meal.
Xu Hui prepared a menu: Steamed Ribbon Soup, Red Braised Meat, Muppet Tofu, Chewing Chinese Cabbage, Stewed Meat with shredded radish, With Lentinus edodes, of course, I'll have to wrap the meat stuffed dumplings with Lentinus edodes as well!
In the afternoon, Xu Hui had to prepare some candies to be used as a sacrifice.
After preparing the menu, Xu Hui assigned some tasks. She was mainly responsible for cooking and seasoning, while Gou Sheng and were responsible for preparing the side dishes, giving the noodles and meat filling to Xiao Da Yong. Gou Sheng was responsible for lighting the fire.
Everyone started to get busy. Xu Hui first made the Red Braised Meat that took the most effort. This time, she got Xiao Dazong to buy a jar of meat to prepare for the Red Braised Meat. Since it was not only for the family to eat, but also for the Lin Qianhu's Chang Clan and their brothers, Xu Hui bought a large clay jar, which she could share with them every time she cooked.
Other than the two catties of sliced pork, the rest of the five catties of pork were cut into four square pieces. Xiao Xiuer exclaimed when she heard Xu Hui, "Sister-in-law, we need to eat so much at one meal?"
It was too extravagant.
"Not only us, we even gave it to the brothers of Lin Qianhu's Chang Bai Hu and Camp. Is it enough to be distributed like this?"
"Since we've already eaten, what are we going to do if we run out of meat for the new year?" Gou Sheng's mother had never lived such a luxurious life before, it was already good enough for his to have two kilograms of fat to eat during New Year's Eve at home.
Xiao Da Yong and Gou Sheng laughed, Gou Sheng said: "Mother, don't worry, Lin Qianhu said that they will have to offer us half a plate of pork, if not Dahuang-ge and I will not only sell this much!"
