Chapter 1189: Tofu Pudding
Translator: Lonelytree
At this moment, Lin Yuelan didn’t know that someone in the capital, thousands of miles away, had attracted a girl’s attention. Moreover, this girl had a very strong background and was planning to steal him from her.
However, so what if she knew?
Was it so easy to steal her?
They had to be careful not to get themselves hurt by trying to steal from Lin
Yuelan.
“Yue ‘er, this soybean milk is really delicious!” Ever since they knew that soybeans could be made into soybean milk, Lin Deshan and Doctor Zhang liked to drink a cup of soybean milk in the morning.
Of course, because Lin Deshan had high blood pressure, he couldn’t eat too much sugar. Lin Yuelan would strictly control the amount of sugar in the soybean milk.
Fortunately, Lin Deshan seemed to prefer sugar-free soy milk.
He felt that the sugar-free soybean milk was more original and fragrant.
After drinking the soy milk, the other people in Lin Garden were even more eager to make the soybeans that their master had mentioned into other foods.
Master had once said that this thing could be made into soy milk, tofu, yuba, smoked dried tofu, and so on. These things that they had never heard of before made them extremely excited and expectant.
After Lin Yuelan made the soybean milk, she added vinegar according to a certain ratio.
However, Lin Yuelan wasn’t very clear about the ratio of vinegar and soybeans to make tofu. Therefore, she could only slowly figure it out.
Looking at the jars of white vinegar, Lin Deshan asked curiously,” Girl, can you really make tofu with this vinegar in soy milk?”
Lin Yuelan smiled and shook her head. She said honestly, ” Grandpa, yes. It’s just that I don’t know what ratio to use right now, so I can only slowly figure it out!”
She had to slowly explore the process.
After all, she wasn’t born knowing these things.
She was only relying on some of her memories from the past, some random books that she had flipped through when she had nothing to do.
Since she was back in the past, many resources had not been developed yet. Of course, she had to try many things.
Lin Deshan and the others exclaimed, “Finally, there’s something that the girl doesn’t know!”
If Lin Yuelan knew what was going on, she would definitely roll her eyes.
Did they really treat her as an omnipotent god? She was also an ordinary person, alright? It was just that she had encountered her own fortuitous encounter.
The soy milk had already been cooked, and Lin Yuelan had already asked the servants to prepare the ingredients. One scoop was measured out, half a tael, one tael, three taels, half a catty, and so on. All kinds of spoons and bamboo tubes were needed, as the ratio of soy milk to tofu, and so on.
Many people in Lin Garden who had no work to do had rushed there. They were both nervous and surprised to see that soybean had turned into soybean milk and then into tofu.
Since Lin Yuelan was testing the waters, she couldn’t just use up a jar of soybean milk in one go.
Just like how she used vinegar, she used wooden buckets, washbasins, water tanks, and so on to fill up different amounts of soybean milk.
In the beginning, Lin Yuelan used a big bowl that could hold about two catties. Then, she put two catties and one tael of soybean milk into it. Lin Yuelan only used half a tael of vinegar.
The ratio of soybeans to water: 1:20
Therefore, Lin Yuelan’s experiment ratio was: The ratio of soy milk to vinegar was 1:42.
In other words, one kilogram of vinegar was poured into a jar of 42 kilograms of soybean milk.
Not long after the vinegar was poured into the soybean milk, to everyone’s surprise, the white soybean milk slowly solidified and turned into something that looked like bean jelly.
As people who lived at the foot of the mountain, when the weather was hot, they wanted to find something to relieve the heat. The bean jelly made from the vines became a must-have item in summer.
‘Eh, could this be tofu?” Someone asked curiously.
“That’s right, this tofu. However, it’s not called tofu now. It’s called tofu pudding!” Lin Yuelan explained.
“What? Why?” Someone immediately asked in confusion.
“The tofu is cut into pieces and placed in a special tofu box. However, this kind of unformed tofu is very soft. With a spoon, it would be mashed, so it was called tofu pudding!’
Listening to Lin Yuelan’s explanation, everyone was enlightened.” Oh, so that’s how it is. Master, you know so much!”
As servants, they could only admire Lin Yuelan’s knowledge and would not doubt her.
Why?
It was all because of the rumors in the Lin Family Village that their master was a destined person. She was even enlightened by the King of Hell and bestowed with all kinds of talents.
After a while, Lin Yuelan frowned as she looked at the tofu in the bowl.
This tofu looked a little too cooked.
Lin Yuelan took a small bowl and scooped up half a spoonful of tofu pudding. She placed it in the bowl and tasted it. It had a sandy feeling.
Everyone looked at Lin Yuelan, trying to eat the tofu pudding. They widened their eyes and asked curiously,” Master, how is it?”
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” No, it won’t taste good if it’s too sandy!” When everyone heard this, they were immediately disappointed.
However, they soon became excited. Wasn’t there still a large jar of soybean milk?
They didn’t believe that they couldn’t succeed.
Then, Lin Yuelan continued to mix the vinegar with the soybean milk, solidifying the vinegar and soybean milk into tofu of different thicknesses and tenderness.
However, when Lin Yuelan was experimenting, everyone wanted to taste the tofu pudding.
After that, they ate up all the tofu pudding that had been eliminated in the previous experiment.
As they had never eaten this kind of thing before, when Lin Yuelan said that the tofu pudding was too sandy and not delicious, many people had their eyes filled with glee. To them, this thing was really delicious, especially when it was paired with white sugar, soy sauce, salt, and onions.
After a series of experiments, Lin Yuelan finally mastered the various proportions of vinegar and tofu.
Then some people liked sandy tofu, while others liked tender tofu. Lin Yuelan made two kinds of tofu according to the most suitable taste.
Everyone in Lin Garden fell in love with tofu pudding again.
In addition, they were looking forward to making tofu even more.
After making the tofu pudding, the tofu was easy.
They stirred the tofu in the water tank and scooped it into the tofu frame made by Lin Yuelan.
The frame of the tofu box was not an ordinary box. There had to be holes for water to leak from all four sides. Then, when scooping in the stirred tofu, a piece of white gauze that was the right size for the frame of the tofu box and had good water leakage had to be placed.
After scooping all the tofu pudding into the box, they covered it with gauze. Then, they pressed the lid of the box and placed a stone of a suitable size on it.
Soon, they would be able to see the readied tofu!
