The taste of five-spice dried tofu is liked by everyone, and Xia Mingyue smoked the dried tofu on the basis of the original dried tofu, so that the dried tofu can have a longer shelf life and a more unique taste.
Five-spice dried tofu was soon put on the market for sale. Because of its good taste and reasonable price, it was once again recognized by customers and sold out every day.
The tofu business is also booming day by day. After Xia Mingyue and Zhang Heming discussed it, they added two sales shops in Changzhou Fucheng, and at the same time increased the production of tofu and spiced dried tofu in the workshop.
Xia Mingyue took the opportunity to try making Qianzhang Tofu in Wufu Workshop.
The method of making tofu is basically the same. It still involves soaking the beans, grinding the soy milk, filtering the residue, cooking the soy milk, ordering the tofu, and pressing it into shape.
It's just different from ordinary tofu. In the last step of pressing, a mold that is one foot long and half a foot wide is used.
Pour the ordered tofu pudding into the mold, spread a thin layer evenly, cover it with a clean cage cloth, pour another layer of tofu pudding, and cover it with a layer of cage cloth...
< br>
Repeat this many times until the entire mold is filled, then cover it with a lid and enough weight until no slurry flows out. After the sheets are completely shaped, you can open the mold and remove the cage cloth layer by layer. , take down thousands.
The prepared qianzhang can be sold directly, or it can be further processed like tofu and made into smoked qianzhang.
You can even stack many sheets one on top of another, roll them into a cylindrical shape, tie them tightly, and steam them in a pot to get a whole roll of vegetarian chicken.
Vegan chicken can also be sold directly, or it can be sold as spiced vegetarian chicken.
Xia Mingyue even took advantage of Wufu Workshop to purchase a large amount of soybeans, and followed the method of finding two masters, Gao Fusheng and Lao Liutou, and also found several masters, and began to sprout bean sprouts in Wufu Workshop...
As Xia Mingyue has been developing new products recently, the categories sold in the tofu shop have been increasing.
Buyers can choose their favorite soy products according to their taste preferences. It can be said that as long as you enter this tofu shop, you can always buy what you like.
The shop's business was good, and Wufu's workshop gradually became prosperous and continued to expand its scale.
The situation where only one corner of the workshop was busy in the past is no longer the case. Nowadays, almost half of Wufu Workshop is used, and the number of workers has increased several times. The daily busy scene can be described as being in full swing.
Seeing this scene, the people of Wufu Workshop were happy, Xia Mingyue was happy, and the people who had purchased shares of Wufu Workshop were even more happy.
And if we say the happiest person, it is Zhang Heming.
The tofu workshop can house more and more refugees, the business is getting better and better, and it is becoming more and more profitable, and the people's reputation for him is getting higher and higher.
When it comes to being an official, the position is one thing, the power in your hands is one thing, but being recognized by the people is the most important thing.
Who, when becoming an official, is not full of ambition and wants to be a good official who serves the country and benefits the people?
Although things in this world are unpredictable and sometimes he can't help himself, being able to do something to benefit the people can be regarded as realizing his original ideal.
What a sense of accomplishment!
Zhang Heming was happy, but he saw that his wife Cao was very busy during this period. Whenever he came back from work, she didn't even have time to chat with him for a while.
After observing for a few days, Zhang Heming discovered that his wife was busy doing needlework.
What I made was a dress, a light pink dress with begonia flowers embroidered on the collar. It looked lifelike and very beautiful.
"Madam's craftsmanship has become more and more sophisticated." Zhang Heming praised, but also felt a little distressed, "Making clothes is hard work. Even if Madam wants new clothes, she can just invite an embroiderer to come to her home to make them. She doesn't have to do it herself."
Although his salary is not high and his family's property is limited, so he cannot provide the Cao family with a good life and clothing, but it is still no problem to make a few new clothes every year!
Ms. Cao did not explain directly. Instead, she glanced at Zhang Heming and asked, "Don't you think the color of this dress is a little too pink for my age?" "How could that be?" Zhang Heming smiled like a dog. Legs, "Madam is young and beautiful, she will always be in her twenties and eighties. This pink color is most suitable for Madam."
Cao, "..."
Sure enough, a man’s mouth is a liar.
She is already over thirty years old. Even if she takes good care of herself and looks younger, she cannot be compared with a real young person.
When Zhang Heming lied, he really didn't even blink.
Ms. Cao rolled her eyes at Zhang Heming angrily, "If you say such nonsense again, be careful I'll sew your mouth with a needle and thread."
"These clothes are not for me to wear, but for Lady Xia."
"For Madam Xia?"
"Yes, as soon as the dog days pass, it is the beginning of autumn. After the beginning of autumn, the weather gradually becomes cooler. If it rains twice more, it will be even colder to the bone."
Cao said, "Mrs. Xia is coming from Jinqiu County, so she will not be as well-prepared with clothes as she is at home. I will make some clothes for Mrs. Xia, and they will be useful when the time comes."
As for the reason why she needs to do it herself...
Xia Mingyue helped her husband solve a huge problem. It can be said that she has shown great kindness to their family, so she naturally needs to give some reward in return.
Moreover, as a woman, Xia Mingyue can do things that the women in the back house cannot do, making Cao proud of being a woman.
Therefore, the clothes had to be made, and they had to be made by hand, so that she could appear solemn and express her respect and gratitude to Lady Xia.
"Madam, what you said makes perfect sense." Zhang Heming nodded, his eyes flashing slightly, "Just talking about these clothes, after autumn, I should also buy some autumn clothes."
"I have already arranged this. I have selected the fabric a few days ago. I am just waiting for the embroiderer to come to the door tomorrow and measure the size for me." Ms. Cao didn't even raise her head when she spoke.
Zhang Heming, "..."
"Madam, my socks don't seem to be enough."
"I arranged for Xiangxiu to do it."
"Xiangxiu has a lot of things to do on weekdays, and she has to take care of Madam's personal affairs. If she is asked to do all the things, I'm afraid the socks won't be enough to wear."
Not enough clothes?
Ms. Cao stopped what she was doing and looked at Zhang Heming, "I can make so many pairs at any time. Why don't I have enough clothes? Are you a centipede?"
Zhang Heming, "..."
He is not a centipede.
But now he would rather be a centipede.
Maybe Madam can look at him a few more times...(End of Chapter)
