She was not walking on an isolated path and came across many familiar faces, though not everyone was familiar. How could she run into any trouble?
Once her brother accompanied her to the entrance of Shaoding Village, Ms. Yan insisted that he should go back. So, her brother had to leave it there.
Ms. Yan went into the field and joined Shao Silang. She even gave him the two boiled eggs she brought from her mother’s family.
That made Shao Silang very happy, thinking that his wife was so nice towards him and spared every bite of food for him.
Ms. Yan told Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan about it and asked if they could visit her family the next day.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan believed that it was a good idea to start as soon as possible, and agreed readily.
They arranged to meet with Ms. Yan at the entrance of the village the next day.
After breakfast, they rode the donkey cart and visited the Yan Family together.
Qiao Xuan brought some homemade yuba and smoked dried tofu, bean cream skin and tofu puffs alongside.
Apart from the yuba and the sun dried bean cream skin, the smoked dried tofu and tofu pulls were made the day before for their family to eat.
Qiao Xuan had no idea how to make those, but she learned the dishes from her space, which gave her a lot of instructions about how to make various bean products.
Qiao Xuan followed the steps and managed to make them all. She planned to buy some fresh meat from the town to go with the tofu puffs.
She was going to mix the minced meat with a small amount of steamed glutinous rice, and add some chopped spring leeks to it. Then, she was going to let Taotao and Xiaoqi go to the river to catch some small river prawns, bake them, and add them as well. Once the ingredients were mixed well, a little salt would be added to the taste. Nothing else would be needed apart from these.
After brewing, she could steam some of it on the steamer, and deep-fry the other part. After it was cooked, they could eat them directly, or make soup, thicken it and cook it. It was going to be a delicious dish in all forms.
The Yan Family were all present, and they instantly liked Qiao Xuan and Shao
Yunduan when they met, with Qiao Xuan being the daughter of the County Magistrate whilst Shao Yunduan being the Cultivated Talent. Both sides greeted each other happily and they were very satisfied with one other.
They could not help but develop the feeling that the other party was reliable.
That made the communication between them go faster and smoother.
Qiao Xuan brought out the bean products she had prepared in front of the Yan Family, who were all surprised.
The Yan Family had been devoted to the tofu business since the generation of Ms. Yan’s grandfather and it was a craftsmanship that had been passed down for generations. That was why the Yan Family cherished this skill deeply, and passed down the skill from fathers to sons.
As a result, they could tell the specialties of these bean products directly.
“What are these? How do they taste?”
Mr. Yan’s heart throbbed, and he became very excited.
Craftsmen were always sensitive towards new products made by new skills. They could even tell if that skill was valuable.
Qiao Xuan made the introduction. “These are yuba, tofu cream skin, puffs and smoked dried tofu. You can tell that all of these are bean products. We can try making them and see how they taste?”
“Okay, okay!” Mr. Yan smiled. “Then, stay for lunch, and please tell my wife and daughter how to make the dishes, so that they can do it for us.”
Qiao Xuan had not intended to cook personally. She was going to let them do it so that they could be fully convinced.
“Okay, then we will be staying for lunch!”
