Chapter 81: Tofu and Tofu Brain
Number five was flying around the pair of plants Xiao An sent in the morning. Although it was a system elf, it couldn\'t identify these plants without Mu Yan\'s permission.
"Yanyan, hurry up and identify these plants." No. 5 hurriedly said when he saw Muyan.
Only then did Mu Yan think of these plants, and then passed the identification technique next to each other, and the sound of inedibleness filled his ears.
"Red poplar, not edible."
"Mingqing, it\'s not edible."
"Soybean, leguminous, edible."
"Red Qi, inedible."
After identifying all the plants, Mu Yan habitually wanted to pile these plants into the utility room, but suddenly stopped in the middle of the action.
"Did I hear an edible one just now?" Mu Yan asked Mu Chen blankly.
Mu Chen nodded, and then quickly pulled out a branch with black fruit hanging from a pile of plants.
"I said, is there something wrong with your eyes? It was clearly identified as soybeans just now. What are you doing with this black cloth Longdong?" No. 5 habitually yelled at Mu Chen, and then paused after speaking. Suddenly became very surprised.
"Yanyan, it\'s Huangdou, it\'s Huangdou. I heard Huangdou\'s voice just now." Number five danced excitedly.
After searching for so long, they finally found the news about soybeans. It couldn\'t be better!
Mu Yan looked at No. 5, then at Mu Chen, and then threw an identification technique towards the black fruit.
The sound of the system without temperature sounded again: "Soybean, leguminous, edible."
Number five, who was circling in circles, suddenly stopped in mid-air, looking at the black fruit with pea-sized eyes, and listening to the sound of the system identification, suddenly felt like twitching.
"Shouldn\'t soybeans be yellow?"
Nima, I have never seen soybeans that are black, so why is it called soybeans, why not just black beans? Number Five wanted to throw the table.
No matter what, he finally found soybeans, and this news was enough to make Mu Yan excited, which meant that he could make other delicacies again, and he could continue to do the upgrade task.
Mu Chen looked at Mu Yan who was smiling happily, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his smile was gentle, without the coldness that made the customer shudder.
"I didn\'t expect that kid to be so powerful. We have been looking for soybeans for so long, but he found them by mistake." Number five couldn\'t help feeling that the world is impermanent.
"Well, Xiaoan is very powerful." Mu Yan said with a bright smile. Mu Chen paused for a moment, his eyes became deep.
In fact, it’s no wonder they couldn’t find soybeans. After all, the soybeans in this world look completely different from those in the previous life. Although the names are the same, they are comparable in size to walnuts and are still black in color. They have been looking for them according to the standards of the previous life. , it would be strange to find it.
"Next time when Xiaoan comes over, you must ask him where he found the soybeans. There must be more, and this is not enough."
After asking Xiao An, Mu Chen and Mu Yan took No. 5 to the place where the soybeans grew, looked at the black fruit all over the tree, and the two of them were silent for a while.
Mu Yan and No. 5 are silent because the soybean here is completely different from the previous life, and Mu Chen\'s silence is completely habitual.
But no matter what, since the identification technique gave the result, then this is the raw material they will use to make tofu nao and tofu.
"I\'ll go up to pick it up, you can pick it up below." Mu Chen said to Mu Yan, and then he climbed up the tree in twos or twos, shaking the branches, and the black fruits fell like rain.
No. 5 flew to a higher place, holding the black fruit in his short hand, and pulling it down vigorously, while Mu Yan picked up the fallen fruit below.
The two cooperated very tacitly with one system, and quickly picked up several baskets and returned home. It became a problem to grind the black fruit into powder. Mu Yan looked directly at No. 5, which meant it was self-evident.
However, this time, No. 5 did not cry like the previous few times, but exchanged the stone mill very readily, and the exchange was fully automatic, no manpower was required to complete it, and the points cost would naturally be higher.
Although No. 5 still had a bit of pain in his heart, he recovered quickly, thinking that Mu Chen\'s ability to earn points is still very good, as long as they work hard, they will always pay back the points, and it is more important to upgrade now.
Everything is almost ready, Mu Yan decided to try to make tofu according to the recipe first.
The first step of the recipe is to soak the soybeans, which need to be soaked for several hours. Therefore, Mu Yan put some soybeans in a large basin and soaked them in water, planning to continue the next step after soaking.
Now the soybeans are also found, the rice is also available, the wheat is about to mature, and there are a lot of ingredients found, so Mu Yan decided not to go to the forest for a few days, in addition to harvesting wheat and making tofu, let everyone rest For a while, especially Mu Chen, he was the one who worked hard every day.
"Achen, let\'s find some small workers to help in the store, so that you don\'t have to work so hard." Mu Yan said guiltily, knowing that he couldn\'t help much.
"Okay." Mu Chen rubbed his soft hair and replied with a smile.
"Then write the recruitment notice, I\'m not very proficient yet." Mu Yan lowered his head embarrassedly.
During this period of time, he has been learning to recognize and write with Ah Chen. Although he knows a lot, his writing is not much better than that of beginners.
"You\'re already good at writing, and it will be better if you practice more." Mu Chen patted his little head and encouraged.
Mu Chen went to make lunch, while Mu Yan sat on the rocking chair in the yard, basking in the sun comfortably, feeling drowsy.
After lunch, the two hugged each other and took a nice nap. After getting up, the soybeans were almost soaked.
Mu Chen put the soybeans into an automatic refiner and beat them into a pulp, then found a piece of fine gauze to filter all the bean dregs, repeated several times, only the soybean milk remained, and put it aside for later use.
Gypsum tofu needs edible gypsum water points, but edible shixu is not available here, so you still need to spend points to redeem in the system.
Mix the gypsum powder with warm water, then slowly pour it into the soy milk, stirring constantly, at this time the protein begins to precipitate.
After standing still for half an hour, filter the sediment and soy milk, and then press it in the prepared square mold to make the tofu more compact. After that, remove the mold, and the square tofu comes out.
Mu Yan broke off a small piece and tasted it, and found that the taste was not bad, then broke off a large piece and handed it to Mu Chen\'s mouth.
"Ah Chen, try it." Mu Yan\'s eyes sparkled.
Mu Chen looked at the little hand that was whiter and tenderer than the tofu, his eyes were deeper, he lowered his head and put the little hand into his mouth deliberately, and licked it carefully.
Mu Yan\'s face immediately turned red, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and wanted to pull his hand out, the warm mouth transmitted the temperature to his body
"Achen..." Mu Yan cried out as if begging for mercy, but he didn\'t know that the soft and waxy voice catalyzed the animal nature in Mu Chen\'s body even more.
Relying on great self-control, Mu Chen barely suppressed the whirling in his heart.
"It\'s delicious." Mu Chen said with a slightly hoarse voice, and he didn\'t know whether he was talking about tofu or someone\'s little hands.
"Ming, I\'ll make better and delicious food for you tomorrow." Mu Yan didn\'t dare to look up, and said shyly.
"Okay." Mu Chen lowered his head, and the warm breath brushed against Mu Yan\'s ears, causing waves of trembling.
"I, I, I\'m going to the kitchen." Mu Yan stammered, and ran into the kitchen with a blushing face, leaving Mu Chen behind with a low smile.
No. 5 acts as a blind person the whole time, and doesn\'t care whether he sees or hears. It doesn\'t want to be a light bulb, and it doesn\'t want to be blinded. It will definitely find a gentler and better system sister in the future, so it won\'t be envious, hehe !
Since the snack bar posted a recruitment notice, the applicants almost squeezed the threshold, and many people followed suit and came to queue up for interviews.
"This store doesn\'t look very big. Why do so many people come to interview? Could it be that the salary is very high?" One person who followed the trend in the queue couldn\'t help asking, and the others who didn\'t know were listening carefully.
Conformity is the nature of human beings, even in the interstellar era, it is still deeply rooted in human nature.
"The salary is two thousand credits per month." The insider replied.
"It\'s so low? Then why do they continue to go to interviews one after another?" Hearing this, the man couldn\'t believe what he heard. In this era where the average salary is 3,000 credits, 2,000 credits can\'t even reach the average.
"Take out three meals a day."
"Ah? Even if you manage food and housing, the salary is too low."
That person was a little shaken. He thought it was a high-paying job, so he wanted to follow along to see, but who knew it was a basic-paying job.
Even if you control food and housing, so what, you can eat as much as you can, nutrition powder is so cheap.
The person in the know gave the interrogator a cold look and said:
"You certainly haven\'t eaten here."
"That\'s right, let alone two thousand credit points, even if you don\'t have any credit points, as long as you eat three meals a day, I will come for an interview!"
"The three meals that the little boss eats must be richer than those made in the store. Last time I passed by the little boss\'s house, I almost knocked on the door because of the smell.
"There are so many people interviewing, and I don\'t know if I can be admitted. Alas... the small boss only recruits five people."
Customers who knew about the snack bar gathered together to discuss, while those who followed suit were stunned. They couldn\'t understand why so many people were chasing after a salary of only 2,000, and they were even worried that they would lose the election.
But even though they knew that the wages were very low, everyone didn\'t leave. Just because of this confusion, everyone also wanted to see what the charm of this small shop could attract so many people.
There are only two interviewers at the snack bar, that is, Mu Chen and Mu Yan, and at most there can be a No. 5 who is invisible to everyone.
The interview process is not difficult. There is a knife and a washed white radish on each table. Mu Yan will ask everyone who comes to the interview to cut the radish. Of course, he will demonstrate it first beforehand. Then they will observe the process and results of cutting radishes.
All the interviewees looked at the radish in front of them with a knife, and they all looked confused. They didn\'t understand why the applicants for the waiter still needed to do these things.
"This is white radish, you can eat it." Mu Yan explained, although the explanation didn\'t go to the point, but it was enough.
As soon as everyone heard that it was edible, their eyes lit up immediately. The previous doubts were instantly forgotten, and the way they looked at the white radish changed completely. They all imitated Mu Yan\'s previous action of cutting radish and began to try. .
Both Mu Yan and Mu Chen secretly observed their actions and cut effects, and gradually had a candidate in their hearts.
In fact, this time when recruiting employees, Mu Yan not only wants to recruit waiters, but also prepares for training chefs in the future. After all, their small shop will definitely need to cook more and more food in the future. It is difficult to complete, not to mention that the original purpose of the system is to promote food culture, so teaching others cooking skills is naturally included.
