"That's right! They all have to be put into the pot with cold water."
"Yeah!" Da Chong nodded vigorously, "Aunt is right."
"If you want this dish to be successful, the tofu must be fresh and tender, otherwise the loach won't be able to get in." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and bright eyes and reached out to push the bamboo dragonfly.
"Makes sense!"
"This soup has become milky white."
"smell good!"
The result was that all the hard work done by Shen Hui'e and the others was gone, not even a sip of soup.
And this tofu loach was bought intact at a high price.
"Wow..." Da Chong looked at the copper coins in the earthenware jar, most of which were earned from the sale of tofu and loaches.
"It's more profitable than selling cicada monkeys." The raccoon slave said to his mother with eyes like black grapes.
"Because it's novel!" Shen Hui'e said while looking at them with a smile.
"It's really novel." Cheng Donglai said as he looked at them with a smile.
"It's delicious and good for your health." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her clear eyes and said, "Adults and children will like it."
The nutritional value of loach and tofu is very high. The nutritional value of loach exceeds that of ordinary fish. The meat is tender and delicious, sweet and mild in nature. It has the effects of warming the middle and replenishing qi, detoxifying and relieving hemorrhoids. It is known as the ginseng in water.
"It's stewed soft and tender, and not difficult to chew. You'll definitely love it." The cat slave looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"Are you full?" Shen Hui'e asked them with her eyes as gentle as jade.
"I'm full, I'm full. After you fried it, you let us taste it first. As a result, I felt full while tasting it." Cheng Donglai said with a smile.
"Then let's just make some mung bean soup instead of cooking." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her crow-feather-like eyelashes trembling slightly and her black eyes.
"Okay!" The big bug pursed his lips and said, "Eating food fried in lard will make you thirsty."
Shen Hui'e cleaned the big iron pot and directly boiled a pot of mung bean soup.
"Donglai, come here." Shen Hui'e sat under the loofah vine and said as she looked at them coming over, "Sit down, let's sit down and talk."
"Don't be nervous." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, swinging the clay pot in her arms, "I'll pay you."
"Wages?" Cheng Donglai looked at her with eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Yes! It's not that I didn't want to give it to you at the beginning, but my wallet was empty." Shen Hui'e put the copper coins on the wooden table and looked at them and said, "Now that I'm making money, I'll make up for the previous amount. I'll give it to you every month in the future."
"No, no, someone with a stutter will do. We don't need one." Cheng Donglai said in panic, waving his hands.
"This is what you earned from your labor." Shen Hui'e divided the copper coins and said to them.
"We didn't do anything?" Cheng Donglai looked at her uneasily.
"Spring plowing, summer harvest, fertilizing, weeding, you clean the yard, wash dishes and pots... isn't that all!" Shen Hui'e said to them with her jade-like eyes.
"You took us in, fed us, and taught us to read!" Cheng Donglai shook his head like a rattle, "We can't take this money."
"Take it! This is what you deserve." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "If you don't take it, I won't dare to use you in the future."
"Auntie, how could you do this!" Cheng Donglai said to her with red eyes.
"Do you want it?" Shen Hui'e looked at them firmly and said, "When you go out, you have money on you and you are brave enough to buy anything you want without being afraid." Then she added, "This is your hard-earned money. Don't spend it recklessly. Use it wisely. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Cheng Donglai said obediently.
"Take it." Shen Hui'e pushed the copper coin to him.
"I..." Cheng Donglai waved his hands and refused for a long time.
"What do you mean by 'I'?" Shen Hui'e looked at him calmly and said, "Will you think I'm too nosy? I have the money now, so I can spend it however I want."
Cheng Donglai was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "No, no. I still know the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace."
"Be good, take it." Shen Hui'e pushed the money in front of them, her eyes fell on the younger ones and said, "You are young, and you don't earn as much as your brother Cheng. When you are as old as Brother Cheng, our wages will increase." She looked at them with warm eyes and said, "The more you work, the more you get."
The four younger ones looked at Cheng Donglai, asking if they could take it.
"Look at what your brother Cheng is doing? Auntie gave it to you, take it." Shen Hui'e took the purse from the cat slave and handed it to them, saying, "Put it up."
Cheng Donglai and the others put the copper coins into their purses, looked at her without blinking, and promised, "Aunt, I will do my best."
"Be good." Shen Hui'e looked at them tenderly and said.

Loach in tofu is such an interesting dish and is very popular.
The children who were slacking off knew that loaches sold well, so of course they caught all the loaches they could.
For several days in a row, the loach tofu was bought at a high price by the rich people in the county.
The servant was sent early and paid a high price.
The neighbors are angry, so I can do it myself!
Huang's mother came running over and said, "Mother of Da Chong, I heard from them that you made that loach tofu, which made my tofu sell very fast."
"Grandma." Da Chong and Li Nu both saluted.
"Be good." Huang's mother looked at them lovingly and said.
"I made loach in tofu." Shen Hui'e smiled and explained the method in detail.
"No wonder." Huang's mother shook her head and laughed, "You are really good."
"The tofu sells well!" Shen Hui'e said to her with a smile.
"Good! It's very good! Originally, the tofu sales were stable after the novelty wore off, but in the past three days, the sales have suddenly increased." Huang's mother stared at her with her black eyes and said, "I asked them and found out that your loach tofu is so popular."
"Grandma's food is delicious and fun. I can't buy it, so I have to make it myself." The cat slave looked at her and said with a smile.
"This dish requires mastering the heat. If you don't cook it well, it will just be stewed in one pot and the effect of loach burrowing into tofu won't be achieved. Try a few more times, and you'll need more tofu." The big insect said with a chuckle.
"Since you are so enthusiastic, I will make a few more plates of tofu." Huang's mother said with a smile.
"Is this tofu business good?" Shen Hui'e asked her with bright eyes.
"Great! There are no competitors, just us, so business will naturally be good." Huang Mule's eyes narrowed into slits, "If you want to open a tofu shop, it will cost a lot of money to buy the equipment. In the short term, no one will compete with us for business."
"What about in the long term?" Da Chong asked, looking at her with his dark eyes filled with worry.
"It's hard to say." Huang's mother said very clearly.
"Then we can research new ways to eat tofu." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her bright eyes and said, "Like eggs. Eggs can't be kept for a long time, but salted eggs and fermented eggs can be kept for a long time."
Huang's mother's eyes lit up when she heard this and said, "That's right! Tofu can't be left overnight now. It will go bad the next day."
"We've studied how to make tofu last longer. When more tofu shops open, the price will go down. We can buy their tofu and make some long-lasting soy products." Shen Hui'e looked at her with deep, penetrating eyes and said, "We'll always be invincible."
"Pah!" Huang's mother clapped her hands and said, "What the big bug's mother said is right." After a moment's hesitation, she said, "The key is how long it can be kept."
"You need to think about this." Shen Hui'e looked at her with gentle eyes and said.
For her, an opportunity is needed. Even if it is unreasonable, we have to get in touch with her.
"What do you think?" Huang's mother frowned and asked worriedly, "Mother of the big bug, what do you think?"
"I don't know about that either. The tofu is fresh and I can't think of it." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a troubled look on her face.
"Don't worry, we are the only family now." Huang's mother comforted her, "Think about it slowly, there is time." She smiled and said, "You go ahead! I'm leaving now."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Take some of our fried crabs and shrimps." Shen Hui'e turned around and looked at Da Chong and said, "Go ask your grandmother to take some away."
"No, you guys sell it!" Huang's mother politely declined.
"We fry a lot, and loach in tofu is more popular." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile in her eyes and said.
"Grandma, here you go!" Da Chong handed her the basket of vegetables.
"Then do you have anything to eat?" Huang's mother asked with concern.
"We eat it every day!" said the raccoon, looking at her with his big watery eyes.
"Okay then!" Huang's mother took the basket and looked at them and said, "I'm leaving."
"I'll take you there." Shen Hui'e and the others sent Huang's mother away.
"Mother, what are we going to eat?" the big beast asked, looking at her with its black eyes.
"It's hot and I don't have much appetite." Shen Hui'e blinked gently and said to them.
"Mother, let's have some cold noodles!" The raccoon looked at her with his bright eyes and said, "There's nothing I want to eat, so let's just eat some noodles. I've saved the eggs for several days, they'll go bad if we don't eat them now."
"Okay! Listen to my daughter." Shen Hui'e looked at her with bright eyes and said.
What to eat in the bitter summer? In addition to cold noodles, there are also jelly and cold noodles. How to make these? She needs to think about it.
"Let's make a few more dishes this morning to add more variety." Shen Hui'e said to them with eyes as pure as crystal.
"Besides omelets, green vegetables and bean sprouts, what else do you need?" Li Nu asked her, blinking her beautiful big eyes.
"There are plenty of vegetables in summer, so let's have some from our vegetable garden." Shen Hui'e said, tilting her head slightly and looking at her own vegetable garden.
"Would you like to buy some bean sprouts?" Da Chong looked at her with his round eyes and suggested actively.
Shen Hui'e thought for a moment and said, "No, I don't like eating two kinds of bean sprouts together."
"Then I'll go to the field and pick some bean leaves!" Cheng Donglai said when he saw this.
"The bean leaves are old now and not as delicious as when they were fresh and tender." Shen Hui'e pouted and shook her head.
"What kind of food would you like to eat, mother?" Da Chong looked at her with his bright black eyes.
I want to eat cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes... I want to eat many, many vegetables. Shen Hui'e complained in her heart, it's a pity that these are not available yet!
