"It's really good! Take a sip and your whole body will feel warm!"
Han Zhongyu drank in small sips and narrowed his eyes happily.
Nan Xing and Qu Xiaodie also praised repeatedly
"This is good, much better than tea! It's sweet. Let's drink this as tea from now on!"
"Yes, I like to drink this too. The tea leaves taste just like grass leaves when I drink them!"
Chu Jinyu had already finished a bowl and said hurriedly
"Mom, I love drinking it too. I want to drink this sweet soy milk every day!"
Aunt Su and all the cooks behind her also nodded, looking very much in agreement.
Seeing that soy milk was so popular, Xie Yushu told the cook:
"Then make a pot every morning and everyone will drink it!
Anyway, this thing is suitable for all ages, and it can also supplement nutrition. Although beans are cheap, the nutrition of soy milk is at the same level as milk. You see how strong milk can make calves, and how strong soy milk can make people!
From now on, everyone in our villa will drink a bowl of it every day, so that everyone can keep their bodies strong, which is no better than taking medicine when they are sick! "
"Thank you, owner of the village, for the reward!"
After listening to Xie Yushu's words, several cooks thanked her in unison!
They are also good at fortune telling, and they have a generous master who can even think of replenishing their health. He must have burned high incense in his previous life!
I became more and more determined that I must work hard and don't make a mistake and be kicked out. It will be difficult to deal with such a master again!
As a parent official, Han Zhongyu's thoughts are with the people under his rule!
After a severe drought, even with the help of the imperial court, people were barely able to eat. These beans are very cheap, only a copper plate per pound, and grinding them into soy milk is even more profitable. If it is really as nutritious as Xie Yushu said, if it is popularized , wouldn’t it be able to improve people’s living standards?
Thinking so, he asked
"How much soy milk can be made from one pound of these beans? And the tofu you mentioned, is it more cost-effective to eat than grain?
If possible, can you promote this tofu and soy milk? "
Xie Yu could guess what he was thinking when he heard this, and while lighting the tofu with brine, he said
"One pound of beans produces about five or six pounds of soy milk. For a family of five or six people, two ounces of beans is enough.
If you order tofu, eight to ten pounds of beans can make a plate of tofu, but these can be used as dishes and drinks, but they cannot replace the staple food.
However, people are currently suffering from malnutrition, and the physical fitness of the entire population is generally very low. It is still necessary to supplement some nutrition. As the physical fitness of the people improves, productivity will also increase!
Otherwise, everyone will be sick, and they will get sick at the slightest sign of trouble, especially children. Their nutrition cannot keep up and they cannot grow taller. The people are the cornerstone of society. If this cornerstone is no longer strong, how can society develop? ! "
Han Zhongyu nodded with approval. Seeing Xie Yushu pouring water into the soy milk little by little, he asked
"Are you ordering tofu? What is this water! Sprinkle it into the soy milk and you can make tofu!"
"This is water diluted with alum, called brine. You must not add too much alum. Too much of this stuff is poisonous, but if you add it just right, you can make tofu. Not only is it not poisonous, it is also good for the human body. This is called Add brine and some tofu, and everything will be reduced!
Look, the soy milk is gathering little by little now, and it will turn into tofu noodle later. We can still drink tofu noodle!
And there are many ways to eat this tofu, including tofu mixed with spring onions, stewed tofu, tofu soup, mapo tofu, frozen tofu can be eaten, and tofu can also be used to make fermented bean curd and stinky tofu!
The leftover tofu residue from making tofu can also be fed to poultry and livestock.
This is the most economical way to make tofu! "
"Then, can you dedicate this recipe to the court? I want to promote its cooking and eating methods to the people!
Firstly, people can replenish their body nutrition in the most affordable way. Secondly, even if everyone cannot make tofu, as long as there are a few in several villages, others can go to that store to change, which can be regarded as an indirect improvement. part of the family income.
The more people have a stable income, the less trouble the people will have!
I can give you a reward in the name of the government! "
"Forget the reward, your yamen is not rich now, so use your money wisely!
Anyway, we are partners now, so I will give you this tofu recipe to boost your performance!
Of course, you have to go to the big households to harvest wool! "
"Ha! You, you!
Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the people! "
Xie Yushu saw that although Han Zhongyu was speaking casually, but he was serious and bowed to her as a gentleman, she put down the things in her hands and returned the salute.
"You're welcome!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled. They were both working for the people, and they knew each other tacitly!
Since Han Zhongyu came here, he has rarely smiled so easily and comfortably. It must be that the livelihood of the people in the entire mansion is weighing on him, so he really can't laugh!
It’s not easy to think about. If you are only in your early twenties, in modern times, you are still in college or working on scientific research and projects with your tutor, or you are staying in the dormitory playing games, and you have a romantic partner, which is probably the biggest food for young people. It’s hard!
And Han Zhongyu, at the same age, has already petitioned for the people in the official position. His colleagues regard him as a living king of hell. They flatter him on the surface but avoid him secretly. The people's life is miserable and miserable. With such a heavy burden on him, it is no wonder that Xiao Xiao Even at this age, he has a serious face all the time, looking like he is bitter and resentful!
Xie Yushu was tired from thinking about it and sighed softly.
"Actually, things are gradually getting better. I will start construction here as soon as next spring, including the villas in the villa and the factory outside the villa. It will take at least three hundred people to recruit.
When the time comes, I will pay wages on a daily basis, and behind these two or three hundred people there will be two or three hundred families, which will solve the lives of a small number of people.
If construction starts here, food, vegetables, tools, etc. will be purchased, which can also stimulate part of the economy.
When the site is completed and workers are recruited, it can provide employment for some people. Sooner or later, the road from Fucheng to here will become a commercial street. You can spread the word first and set aside hundreds of stalls on this street and rent them out. , people come and go, buy and sell, and solve the livelihood of many people.
When the products come out, they can be wholesaled to individuals. If there are more small traders, the economy will be alive, and Tai'an Prefecture will be alive too!
Don't frown all day long and turn yourself into an old man! "
Although Xie Yushu's words were said casually, they were very feasible. And if she implemented what she said step by step, the glory of Tai'an Mansion would indeed be just around the corner. She couldn't help but feel relaxed and the corners of her lips raised slightly.
The next moment, he unconsciously touched his forehead again, feeling nervous in his heart.
"Doesn't she think I'm old? Alas! It would have been better if I had been born two or three years later. I can't frown. I can't frown anymore."
A passionate young man who is both mature and naive!
The two of them were talking, and the tofu noodle was already taking shape. The cook had already made several flavors of braised pork as Xie Yushu told her. When Xie Yushu said it was ready to eat, a bowl of tofu was immediately placed in front of the tofu noodle.
