Chapter 1504: Tofu Made

~8 min read 1,492 words

Boss Chang didn't know there were so many surprises yet.

In the new year, his development plan was to hug the big thigh.

Hug hard, hug tight. The supreme VIP supplier, that was someone he wouldn't let go of no matter who came.

He wasn't afraid of Song Tan asking for a high price; it was all worth it! He was afraid that the other party wouldn't be willing to sell... Who made them not have a contract to this day? It felt like a big girl who got married without holding the financial power; it wasn't stable!

Therefore, for this white liquor tasting event, let alone Song Tan wanting 20 invitations, even if it were 200, he would have to find a way to arrange it! The tasting event had been arranged for half a year, but the liquor had been arranged for several months—

He wasn't like Song Tan's family, rich and wasteful, drinking the raw liquor directly and complaining that the liquor was too strong!

Could that be the fault of the grain liquor? It was clearly that they didn't know how to drink!

Even the top-grade white liquor, as long as it was raw liquor, one mouthful would make people unable to handle it. After he brought back two or three hundred jin, he didn't know how many people he had entrusted, and what kind of masters he had invited, before he could dilute it with good water and good liquor.

Water was used to lower the degree, and liquor was used to clear the blandness of the water and increase the fragrance. In this way, bit by bit, it was polished, and this was his proud work today!

Now that he came to deliver the invitation, the trunk of the car was first filled with liquor in exquisite packaging. There was even the Changleju label on it!

When Boss Chang drove over with full satisfaction, he had thought of eighteen ways to amaze the old Song family with his newly blended liquor! But he didn't come at the right time; the old Song family had been invited away by people in the village in the morning.

Invited to do what?

To taste tofu.

That's right, the business that Zhou Maozhu and Li Lanhua had struggled with for a day and finally gave up on was finally taken down by Aunt Zhang Hong in the village.

They actually didn't know how to make tofu, but they couldn't stand their high initiative!

After returning from the meeting that night, the couple discussed it, and early the next morning, the man went to the family that sold tofu in the neighboring town and spent 5000 directly to buy the craft—honestly, it was quite expensive; many people on Tremolo taught this!

The man was also quite reluctant, saying that if they tried a few more times, they would definitely be able to learn it.

But Aunt Zhang Hong wasn't happy: "Trying a few more times doesn't cost much money, but such a business, we've taken a fancy to it, is it possible that others won't?"

"You don't know, I work at the old Song family, and I've seen their Tantan with my own eyes; she's simply a Midas touch! Whatever business she wants to do, there's none that doesn't succeed. Now that she specifically mentioned this matter, it must be profitable!"

"Just think about us planting their vegetable seedlings last winter, did we earn back this 5000?"

They earned it, right?

5000 was so expensive, but if you don't give up the child, you won't catch the wolf!

Their children were all married and had families, but it was a small city, and life was tight. As parents, if you have some ability, who doesn't want to subsidize them?

The couple tossed and turned all night, brushed quite a few videos on Tremolo, and early the next morning, they asked around about the family that ground tofu in the neighboring town and went directly to learn the craft!

This learning took a whole day at the tofu workshop.

The family that sold tofu in town wasn't unhappy—now there weren't many families doing this, and they used machines. Even so, they were exhausted from morning till night.

Plus, now on the internet, those who talked about how to make tofu were making it fancy. They themselves were still learning how to make glucono-delta-lactone tofu on the internet, and a relative seven or eight turns away suddenly spent money to come and learn how to do this...

Oh my! How could they be embarrassed to charge money?

In short, they walked through the process, and the other party didn't hide anything. They taught old tofu, tender tofu, and dry tofu—there really wasn't any very fine technology; just teaching the ratio of brine and gypsum and the points that needed attention was enough.

And the Zhang family man didn't plan to eat a fat man in one bite. Estimating that he had learned it, he also tried pointing tofu a few times in the workshop, and then went home in the evening carrying a pile of ingredients and tools.

Aunt Zhang Hong looked at the soybeans soaking in two basins now, listening to her husband teach her: "You wash the beans first, pick and choose carefully. Use our tap water for this basin, and later I'll go up the mountain to fetch a bucket of that pool water to soak them."

Aunt Zhang Hong listened to her husband muttering about "beans and water one to eight" and nodded: "I understand."

Where can't you buy tofu? People go to the supermarket, which is close to home and convenient, so why bother traveling far to buy it from here.

Not to mention that it's not easy to carry in the countryside, and it's easy to shake it apart on the way back. They just started learning how to do it, so first of all, they have to do the fine work well.

"Then what should we use to grind the beans later? Buy a soy milk machine?"

The Zhang family man hesitated for a moment: "If you're not afraid of being tired, I'll go buy two big stone mills."

He had been pondering the machines in the tofu workshop all day: "They aren't cheap, and they aren't easy to wash. People love cleanliness; if they see the machines are dirty later, maybe they won't be willing to buy."

"Also, we can't sell that much at the beginning, so two big stone mills are cost-effective."

This tofu making is all hard work!

Aunt Zhang Hong hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Then let's buy stone mills. We saw that video on Tremolo yesterday, and people were talking about ancient methods, not using soy milk machines, and insisting on using a small millstone to do it slowly."

Calling her to say this, isn't this suffering for nothing?

Therefore, she continued: "I'm pondering that people now love this. We just learned this, and we don't know how it will turn out. Using a stone mill to do it, at least people will say it's all handmade, which can also raise the price."

The couple picked beans there, asked around about where to buy millstones, and tossed until midnight before adding 100 yuan to have the millstones delivered overnight.

The new millstones were very laborious to push, but fortunately, there were only two buckets of beans. The couple got up early in the morning, gritted their teeth, and got it done.

Filtering, boiling, skimming the foam, cooling, pointing brine to make old tofu, pointing gypsum to make tender tofu...

Just started doing it, the laborious dry tofu wasn't done first. In short, when the tofu was pressed and molded, the couple smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised:

"It really worked!"

The first time they did it, they made four big plates of tofu in total, which exhausted them, but the results were gratifying.

The soybeans soaked in home water had a bean fragrance and smelled more flavorful than the ones in town, and the plate pointed with brine even had a faint sweet fragrance.

It was good to eat it raw by breaking off a piece.

And the soybeans soaked in the pool water on the mountain...

How should she put it?

Aunt Zhang Hong smiled after just one taste: "This business is worth doing! 500 a month really isn't much!"

After tossing and turning all morning, it was already past ten o'clock, but she still couldn't wait to invite Song Tan over.

As soon as Song Tan came, the old Song family all gathered around!

Even Wu Lan was shocked: "You couple are so hot-headed in doing things, you haven't changed a bit in so many years!"

They didn't even think about the fact that if the tofu hadn't been made well, the other party might have already taken the lead! ===== CHAPTER 1505 =====
