“That’s the way it is…”
Everyone was enthusiastically debating, and Zhuang Qingning laughed with her eyes crinkled in amusement.
Layer by layer, the tofu skin was peeled off, and soon a new layer congealed.
This tofu skin was gently scraped off, one layer at a time, and hung on a rod to dry, awaiting the natural formation of the next layer of tofu skin.
The more tofu skin was removed, the thinner the soy milk in the bucket. New soy milk needed to be added in order to maintain the normal thickness of the soy milk and to allow for the creation of new tofu skin.
Today, Zhuang Qingning just started making tofu skin, so she decided to first provide fresh tofu skin. Once all the processes were familiar, she would start making tofu sticks and dried tofu skin. For now, she brought a portion of the fresh tofu skin to stew in chicken soup, and the rest went to Zhuang Qingning’s brother, Zhuang Mingliang, and the others who were working there.
The workers always had fresh tofu to eat, and now they even had oily tofu skin to create cold dishes, so they profusely thanked her.
When Zhuang Qingning returned home, the chicken soup was still slowly simmering on the stove, emanating a bubbling sound. Zhuang Qingsui was watching the fire, while eating a tomato.
The tomatoes grown with the plant growth solution were sour and sweet, extremely tasty. They were so delicious that Zhuang Qingning would eat several a day, let alone Zhuang Qingsui.
“This soup looks about right, doesn’t it?” said Zhuang Qingsui, watching Zhuang Qingning lift the lid of the pot.
Zhuang Qingning skimmed the fat off the chicken soup and removed the foam, leaving the soup clear and aromatic. Due to the addition of dried jujubes and Goji berries, the soup had a sweet fragrance.
In a nutshell, it smelled marvelous.
It smelled so good that Zhuang Qingsui couldn’t help but lick her lips.
“Pretty much, let’s add the tofu skin to stew a bit. We can add some salt when it’s ready to be served,” Zhuang Qingning said. She cut the oily tofu skin into large diamond pieces using a kitchen knife, then put them in the pot. She sliced a piece to cool down and gave it to Zhuang Qingsui.
“Try it. People say it’s good.”
Zhuang Qingsui eagerly took a bite, and then gave Zhuang Qingning a thumbs up.
“It’s really delicious.”
Zhuang Qingning had told her to watch the pot while she went to the tofu factory to make oily tofu skin. She had now returned with the tofu skin, even making it delicious.
There was truly nothing that her sister could not do!
Zhuang Qingsui’s eyes crinkled when she smiled: “Sister, you’re amazing.”
Zhuang Qingning saw the admiring, star-struck look in Zhuang Qingsui’s eyes and playfully scruffed her nose, “That’s enough, go get the bowls and chopsticks, and bring the clay pot over after washing it. I’ll scoop half the pot for Great Aunt and let’s bring it to her.”
“Alright.” Zhuang Qingsui nodded smilingly. She cleanly finished the remaining piece of tomato in her hand with two or three bites, and began to follow Zhuang Qingning’s instructions.
They delivered the stewed chicken and tofu skin soup to Mrs. Wen, after that the two sisters began their delicious dinner in the courtyard.
