Liu Heng and Wang Xiaomeng arrived at Xiao Meng's tofu shop.
Wang Laoqi and Little Meng's mother were busy inside.
When Little Meng's mother saw them, she smiled and greeted them.
"Little Meng, you're back."
"Hey."
"Liu Heng, you're here too."
"Hello, Auntie."
"Hey, Mom, I brought Liu Heng to our tofu shop to take a look.”
Wang Xiaomeng explained.
"What's so good about our tofu shop? You're really hot. Take Liu Heng to the house to sit.”
Little Meng's mother was confused.
Wang Xiaomeng ignored him and brought Liu Heng into the tofu shop.
Wang Laoqi was still sulking as he worked.
He wanted to ask Wang Xiaomeng if he went to see Xie Yongqiang, but Liu Heng was there and he couldn't ask.
Liu Heng smiled and didn't say anything. He stood aside and watched Wang Laoqi and the others make tofu.
Little Meng's family's tofu workshop still used the most traditional tofu making method. The main raw material was soybeans. During the making process, it had to go through the steps of cleaning, soaking, grinding, filtering, boiling, solidifying, and forming. Only then could the delicious tofu be made.
The most crucial step was grinding and polishing.
Grinding determined the degree of crushing of the soybeans. The more thoroughly they were crushed, the easier it was for the protein to be dissolved. However, if they were ground too fine, the fiber in the soybeans would enter the soybean milk along with the protein, making the soybean milk coarse and dark in color. At the same time, it was not conducive to the separation of pulp and residue, and the amount of soybean milk produced would decrease.
Pasting was also a knowledge. Pasting referred to adding a solidifying agent into cooked soybean milk in a certain ratio and method to make the soybean milk form tofu pudding. The quality of the tofu made in the end was also different due to the difference in the amount of paste used, the amount of paste added, and the method used.
Therefore, making tofu looked simple, but in fact, it contained a lot of knowledge. There was a saying among the people that there were three difficulties in the world: Pacing boats, forging iron, making tofu. This was the reason.
Liu Heng had only learned about this knowledge after receiving the Master Tofu Making Technique reward from the system. Wang Xiaomeng and the others naturally did not know about it. They usually relied on the experience they had accumulated over the years to make tofu.
Liu Heng quietly watched the whole process of Wang Laoqi and the others making the tofu. He had an idea.
Every step was done with great care. No wonder their tofu was so famous.
Wang Xiaomeng kept looking at Liu Heng and couldn't help but ask when he saw how confident he was.
"Liu Heng, what do you think?”
Liu Heng smiled and said.
"Little Meng, I just watched the whole process of making tofu. I think there are a few areas that can be improved. First, the soaking time of the soybeans should be different according to the weather and temperature. The second is grinding. It's a good choice to use a donkey to pull a stone mill, but the efficiency is too low and it's not easy to control. The third is the last bit of the pulp."
Liu Heng gave his own suggestions and spoke with confidence. Wang Xiaomeng, Wang Laoqi, and Xiao Meng's mother were all stunned.
Wang Laoqi's eyes widened as he looked at Liu Heng in disbelief."
"Child, you…You know how to make tofu too?"
Liu Heng said with a smile.
"Seventh Master, I've read about how to make tofu in a book before. You can try it according to what I said and see if the taste of the tofu is different.”
Little Meng's mother was a little uncertain. Their family had been making tofu like this for decades. Now that they suddenly wanted to change it, she was not sure.
"Father, will this work?"
Wang Laoqi couldn't make up his mind.
Logically speaking, Liu Heng was a university student in the city. He had never touched the water of spring. How could he know how to make tofu?
However, from what he said just now, he knew a lot about tofu making. It didn't seem like he was talking nonsense.
At this moment, Wang Xiaomeng spoke.
"Dad, let's try what Liu Heng said. He's a university student and knows a lot.”
"If it doesn't work, we'll go back to the previous method.”
Wang Laoqi hesitated for a while and made up his mind.
"Alright, let's give it a try."
Wang Xiaomeng happily scooped up a ladle of beans and prepared to dry them.
"Seventh Master, I'll help too."
Liu Heng smiled and rolled up his sleeves to help.
......
Xie Guangkun smiled as he walked towards Liu Yishui's farm.
The villagers they met along the way could not help but ask curiously.
"Guang Kun, what good thing did you encounter that made you so happy?”
In the past, Xie Guangkun was already a little proud because the mayor was his brother-in-law.
Now that his son had graduated from university and was about to work at the county education commission, it was even more amazing.
he said arrogantly.
"It's none of your business!”
There were already not many villagers in the village who were willing to pay attention to him. Now, the remaining villagers were almost all offended by him.
Seeing Xie Guangkun's arrogant face, the villagers cursed behind his back.
"It's just a college student. What's the big deal? Let him show off.”
"That's right. She's so beautiful now that she doesn't even know her surname.”
Xie Guangkun continued to walk slowly to Liu Yishui's breeding plant.
When she arrived, she went straight into Liu Yishui's office.
Liu Yishui saw Xie Guangkun and greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle Guang Kun is here."
"Hey, Yishui, are you busy?"
"No, come in and sit. Uncle Guangkun, why are you here?”
Liu Yishui asked as he turned around to pour Xie Guangkun some water.
"Sigh, Director Changgui invited Yongqiang to his house for dinner today. As a result, Yongqiang drank too much when he was happy and vomited all over the floor.”
"Uncle, drink some water. Did Yongqiang drink? I haven't seen Yongqiang drink before."
"That's right. Otherwise, he wouldn't have drunk too much.”
Xie Guangkun smiled.
"Uncle Guangkun, why are you looking for me?”
Liu Yishui asked.
"No, it's nothing. Just now, Liu Heng helped Yongqiang, who drank too much, home. I thought of going to visit and thank him. Um, Liu Heng isn't back yet?"
Liu Yishui smiled when he heard that.
"What's there to thank? Isn't this just a matter of convenience? Uncle Guangkun, you're really particular. You even specially came over for this matter.”
"I was wondering why Liu Heng hasn't returned since he left this morning.”
"Liu Heng isn't back yet?”
"Yes, I am."
Xie Guangkun thought that Liu Heng and Wang Xiaomeng must have gone on a date somewhere.
"Yishui, I have something to tell you.”
"Tell me."
Xie Guangkun pretended to be mysterious and said in a low voice.
"I heard that Liu Heng doesn't have a girlfriend yet, right?”
"That's right. I asked him last time. I said I wanted to introduce him to a partner and asked him what conditions he had. He actually said he wanted to find someone from the countryside.”
Hearing this, Xie Guangkun was even more determined.
"Yishui, let me tell you, I think Liu Heng might be together with Wang Xiaomeng.”
Liu Yishui's eyes widened.
"Who is it? Little Meng?"
"Impossible."
"How is it impossible?"
Xie Guangkun's voice became louder.
"I saw them holding hands with my own eyes.”
Liu Yishui felt his brain explode.
Wasn't Wang Xiaomeng dating Xie Yongqiang? It was also because of this that he had always hidden his feelings for Wang Xiaomeng in the bottom of his heart.
Why was she with her cousin in the blink of an eye?
"Uncle, you saw it with your own eyes?"
He asked Xie Guangkun again.
"Hey, why would I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes!”
"Not long ago, the two of them held hands and left my house!”
