"Missary! You can lead a few personal soldiers, get a few liters of soybeans, a few kilograms of salt, and then find a way to get a plate of water mill. If you don't know what the water mill is, go to the medicine shop to get a plate of grinding medicine. By the way, you have to go to the military camp to call Sun Li here. Go quickly, go quickly!..." Xu Shiye, who was excited, hurriedly ordered Xu Cong.

The so-called rare things are precious. Clothing, food, housing, and transportation are essential to people, and most of them are consumables, so there is a huge demand. According to Xu Shiye's idea: to create a consumable that is not available in this era and that is needed for normal survival, and it is simple and easy to make, which is the best way to accumulate huge amounts of money as soon as possible.

And ordinary foods like tofu exactly meet Xu Shiye's standards.

The reason why Xu Shiye had a little understanding of Xu Cong was that he had already confirmed that the food "tofu" was not present now because there were two memories of the origin and invention of tofu in Xu Shiye's mind. The reason why Xu Shiye asked Xu Cong appropriately was to find out whether there was a folk legend and whether another verified argument was determined.

Folk legend: Liu An, the grandson of Liu Bang, the grandson of Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty, was fond of Taoism to seek immortality, so as to summon eight sorcerers to build furnaces and refine alchemy on the top of the North Mountain. They took out pearls, big springs, and horses in three springs to grind soybean juice, and used bean juice to cultivate bean seedlings. Unexpectedly, the elixir could not be refined, and the soybean juice and salt would be combined into a fragrant, attractive, white and tender thing. The brave local farmers took it and found it delicious, so they named it "tofu"; tofu was invented from then on.

Historical research: After careful research by modern scholars, it is concluded that "tofu is a food that was officially appeared in the Five Dynasties period."

It is actually self-evident. It is often followed by people. The illusory folk rumors will make people believe it more certain. However, after careful research by scholars and many other sources of exploration, the conclusions drawn are often scoffed and not accepted. Of course, as for Xu Shiye himself, he still believes in the evidence of scholars with conclusive arguments (this is also in line with his wishes). Therefore, he just asked Xu Cong for a little question and was confirmed: there is no tofu in this era!

As a person's status increases unconsciously, his identity will naturally be emphasized accordingly. Although Xu Shiye is nominally the head of Huyi Camp under the command of Xu Shiji, the general manager of Liyang of Wagang, as he enters Ji County, he naturally becomes the identity of a town's head due to changes in the environment. Therefore, in the official residence where he is stationed in the Jiejie, dozens of personal guards should be guarded and guarded.

Therefore, Xu Cong, who had accepted Xu Shiye's instructions, jogged out and greeted him casually, and several Xu Shiye's personal soldiers gathered over; Xu Cong immediately led them out of the mansion to handle the matters assigned by Xu Shiye.

After Xu Cong led several personal soldiers away, Xu Shiye, who still couldn't control his excitement, forcibly controlled his excitement, recalled with great interest, and figured out how to make tofu...

Xu Shiye told Xu Cong that the things that Xu Cong did were very simple and everything was easy to find. Soon, Xu Cong led a few personal soldiers, including Sun Li, who was summoned from the camp of the army, and brought all the items to the courtyard of the back house with horses and people.

It’s true that there are water mills in this era! Xu Cong, who was not sure what Xu Shiye wanted to do, even the water mills that exceeded the task and the small mills used for medicinal grinding in the medicine shop were each given a plate of them. As for soybeans and salt, he easily got all of them for Xu Shiye!

Sun Li, who has now been promoted from the team to the brigade coach and won the first meritorious service of Ji County, is a man who is nearly thirty years old, short and thin. At that time, he was sent to sneak into Ji County, and Xu Shiye was interested in his calmness, good thinking and seriousness. Now, Xu Shiye will entrust him to take on the important task of making money!

After Xu Cong led several personal soldiers and Sun Li to move all the items into the courtyard of the Houwan, Xu Shiye couldn't help but look at the people standing in the courtyard of the Houwan after putting the items in it and asked again: "Have you ever heard of 'tofu' food?"

Because the tofu is too simple and easy to make, Xu Shiye is indeed a little worried that it has begun to appear now!

After everyone shook their heads with confusion, Xu Shiye completely put his heart in his stomach: I really didn't invent it! This is great!

Xu Shiye, who was excited to think about it, couldn't help but smile on his face and immediately turned to Sun Li, who had a strong personality since entering the house and had not spoken, said: "President Sun Lu had made great contributions when our army captured Jijun, so I also valued Sun Lu Shuai for this reason. Therefore, I will also entrust Sun Lu Shuai with important tasks. Now, Sun Lu Shuai leads the mistress to do what he told him. Sun Lu Shuai must remember everything you have done next! After everything is done, I will explain to Sun Lu Shuai in detail how to do it in the future."

"I am so humble and obey the general's orders!" Sun Li, who spoke concisely and distinctively, answered respectfully without hesitation.

Xu Shiye, who admired Sun Li's behavior very much, nodded with a smile as if he was approving, and then began to instruct everyone to follow his instructions to start acting...

First, Xu Shiye asked to take a large wooden basin, poured half a pot of soybeans into the large wooden basin, and poured water to soak the soybeans in the large wooden basin. After soaking the soybeans, Xu Shiye also gave Sun Li a special advice:

Since it is close to summer, the time to soak soybeans is enough to be controlled for one and a half hours. If it is in the cold winter, it must be soaked for two hours. In spring and autumn, it must be properly controlled between one and a half hours. If the time is not well controlled, the soybeans will either be incompletely soaked, or will become ineffective and unusable due to soaking for too long.

Then, Xu Shiye ordered everyone to go to the kitchen of the back house to ignite the stove fire, pour salt into a large pot on the stove, and add water to boil it.

This era really has convenient conditions that are better than the modern era! Since the kitchen cooks in this era are all four or five feet in diameter, it is extremely convenient to cook.

As the large pot of salt water is gradually added to the fire, and after boiling, the salt water liquid in the large pot has gradually turned into dark black. Brine, which is the commonly known as "brown" has been boiled...
