Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 66: Salty or sweet, only primary school students can make choices

Li Xiang used cooked gypsum to make tofu. Following the instructions of his grandmother and third grandmother, he knocked off a small piece of the cooked gypsum, crushed it, and mixed it with clean water to make gypsum slurry.

There is no such thing as precise weighing in rural areas, and the amount to put in is based on experience. Li Xiang estimated that the ratio of gypsum to soy milk is approximately between 1:300 and 500.

Sprinkle the dissolved gypsum slurry evenly into the "river basin", stir gently with a long-handled stainless steel spoon, cover it with a lid, and after a while, you will see that the original soy milk has "changed" into smooth, white and tender tofu pudding.

This is southern tofu, which is whiter and more tender than northern tofu. The sweet tofu pudding that people who love sweets usually eat is southern tofu, because compared with salty tofu pudding, sweet tofu pudding requires a higher "tender" quality of tofu.

In fact, Li Xiang has tried both kinds of tofu pudding and feels that they have their own flavors and are both good, but the salty tofu pudding tastes a bit stronger and is made with many ingredients such as soy sauce, chopped green onions, coriander, chili oil, dried shrimps, crushed peanuts, etc., so it doesn’t matter if the tofu is a little older.

Tofu pudding should be eaten while it is tender and hot. If it is left for too long, it will become old tofu and the taste will be bad.

Li Xiang made a salty dish for his grandmother. He knew her taste and that she only ate salty food. He used authentic Sichuan cooking methods and added mashed garlic cloves, minced ginger, soy sauce, red chili oil, minced Sichuan peppercorns, minced bean sprouts, diced pickled mustard tubers, sesame oil, chopped green onions, and fried soybeans.

Because I am going to make tofu today and try tofu pudding, I prepared all the ingredients yesterday, otherwise it would be too late to get them all at the last minute.

With Li Xiang’s current status, he can open a store.

Some people will replace fried soybeans with peanuts, but in fact, if put into tofu pudding, the taste of peanuts is not as good as fried soybeans.

Only the authentic people of Sichuan Province know the value of this bowl of food, which is spicy, fresh and fragrant, and fully reflects the Sichuan flavor.

Of course, in fact, even within Sichuan Province, different places have different ways of cooking, but the salty, fragrant and spicy taste is indispensable.

Some people also like to add crispy pork and some secret soup.

"Third Auntie, do you like salty or sweet food?" Li Xiang asked.

Grandma San was already very greedy and said quickly, "Give me a bowl of sweet food, with more sugar."

"Okay!" Li Xiang immediately and skillfully scooped a large bowl of white, tender and steaming tofu pudding for Grandma San, and added five spoonfuls of fine white sugar.

It looks like a big bowl and the portion is quite large, but the tofu is too tender and has too much water content, so there isn’t actually much and you won’t feel full.

"Cai'er, what about you?" Li Xiang looked at Jiang Cai'er.

Jiang Caier was still filming with her phone, so she blinked, raised her willow-shaped eyebrows, and said playfully, "Only primary school students do multiple-choice questions, of course I want both!"

"Okay, Your Highness the Saint!" Li Xiang moved quickly and made two more bowls of tofu pudding, one sweet and one salty. The portions were the same size as those for grandma and third grandma.

"It's too much, brother. What if I can't finish it?"

Li Xiang pointed outside and said, "There's a dog at home."

"No, you have to eat what I can't finish!"

"Okay, okay, it won't be wasted anyway." Li Xiang also made two bowls for himself, one salty and one sweet.

If you can eat, eat more. Why bother choosing so much?
Jiang Caier ate the salty ones first. On the tender and white tofu pudding, there was a mellow sauce, crispy fried soybeans, strong red chili oil, and various diced vegetables and chopped green onions dotted around. It was a feast for the eyes just by looking at it.

She scooped it up with a spoon and opened her mouth wide enough to swallow the tofu pudding with solid ingredients. The tofu pudding felt soft and tough in her mouth. Her teeth slowly penetrated the soft tofu pudding, and she felt the fragrance, spiciness, numbness, saltiness, freshness and mellowness. The layered flavors gushed out in her mouth and gripped her taste buds tightly, as if giving her lips and teeth a heavy blow!
The delicious taste made Jiang Caier couldn't help but exclaim loudly after just one bite, her eyes curved into crescents: "It's so delicious! This is the most delicious tofu pudding I have ever eaten! The kind that I will never forget!"

"Haha, do you have to be so exaggerated? Why do I feel like you are flattering me?"

"Really? It's delicious."

Jiang Caier finished a large bowl of salty tofu pudding very quickly, and then tried the sweet one. It must be said that after eating the strong taste, the taste of sweet tofu pudding is completely different. Sweet tofu pudding has few ingredients and only white sugar is added, so the taste level is not as good as salty tofu pudding, but it is light and sweet.

If salty tofu pudding is like an experienced queen or young woman, then sweet tofu pudding is like pure white moonlight.

Eating sweet tofu pudding is smooth, sweet, and just like first love.

Li Xiang also drank two large bowls. As for Jiang Caier, she was never picky about food and had no taboos. She was easy to feed. In the end times, she would have strong adaptability.

In fact, Jiang Caier wants to have a taste of anything made by Li Xiang.

For example, Jiang Caier also wanted to have a glass of the snake and centipede wine that Li Xiang made. She smacked her lips and wanted to taste it, but Li Xiang refused to let her drink it, saying that it might affect her intelligence and delay her studies.

Jiang Caier immediately laughed and said, "I'm not a child, how can it affect my intelligence?"

People usually say that babies cannot drink alcohol because it will affect their intellectual development, but she has developed well.

Li Xiang said at the time: "You are growing up."

Isn't the prime time of sixteen or seventeen the time when the body is growing?

But Jiang Caier was stunned, thinking that her height had not increased for a long time, how could it grow? She couldn't help but look down at her chest and thought, is it here? Yes, it is indeed getting bigger.

Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about? Will drinking affect this?
……

After the video of beating tofu was released, fans commented: "I can smell the fragrance even through the phone!"

"How do you manage to get along well with the salty and sweet parties? Are the people of Sichuan Province so tolerant?"

"In my hometown, sweet tofu pudding is king."

"In my hometown, salty tofu pudding is the best in the world, and those who like sweet tofu pudding are heretics!"

"The Xian Party is heresy! Unforgivable!"

Another wave of debate over salty and sweet has been stirred up, but in reality there is nothing to debate about. Just like Grandma Li Xiang and Grandma San, just eat whatever you like according to your own taste. Why would you care so much about what you eat at home?
Everyone saw that the Miao girl appeared again, and she was so cute even when she was taking advantage of others, so someone asked, "Is the Saint on vacation?"

Some people stood up for Jiang Caier and asked, "You forced high school students to work part-time, but did you pay them?"

Li Xiang felt that she should be paid a little, so he told Jiang Caier that he would transfer some money to her. It was not a good idea to let her work for nothing all the time.

But Jiang Caier didn't want it. She pouted her pink lips and said playfully, "If you really want to give it to me, buy me a laptop as a gift for college entrance when I go to college."

She heard that having a computer is a must in college.

Although I am only in the second year of high school, I am already looking forward to college life.

Li Xiang said that it was no problem and he would definitely buy her a laptop with excellent performance and good looks, and the hard drive should be larger so that more data could be stored.

If that's not enough, you can add a mobile hard drive.

University is a place with such an academic atmosphere, so naturally I have to steal more, no, learn more knowledge.

In fact, I am willing to buy more expensive things. I am just afraid that Caier will not want it. I only accepted the mobile phone if I lent it to her.
