Legend of bean curd Once upon a time, there was a man named Lin Cheng in Guilin, who specialized in selling tofu for a living. The tofu he made was tender, smooth, delicious, and honest, so his business was very good. Lin Cheng's business was good, and naturally someone was jealous. This man was Zhao Qian of Qiancun, who also sold tofu, but he was cunning and full of something. Tofu is made of beans with black mildew. As the saying goes, "If you don't know the goods, you are afraid to compare them." After a long time, Zhao Qian's business has gone from bad to worse. In the old days, there was a saying: peers are enemies. Zhao Qian not only envied Lin Cheng's business, but also always wanted to bring down Lin Cheng and do it alone. He thought about it day and night and finally got a change of mind, so he found it at once. The next day, when Lin Cheng picked tofu and passed by Hu Lai's door, Hu Lai stopped Lin Cheng and bought all the tofu. Five days later, Lin Cheng passed by Hu Lai's door again, and Hu Lai bought all Lin Cheng's tofu again, thus confusing Lin Cheng. When he was suspicious, Hu Lai picked out the tofu he bought for the first time and kept a straight face. Lin Cheng was confused. He opened his eyes to see that all the things in the bucket were rotten, and it was indeed a bucket of stinky tofu. "Strange, it was a bucket of fresh tofu just now. How did it change when I turned around? I couldn't help but think of the bear tofu five days ago, and my heart lit up and said," Don't blame good people, go and see it at your house. "At this time, a group of men, women and children were surrounded and all said," Yes, I am. " "I'll pay you ten loads!" Lin Cheng blushed and said, Hu Lai's house is small, with only two rooms and a pigsty, and there is no back door to the outside. Everyone opened their eyes when they went in, but they couldn't find any tofu. Strange, they couldn't help it, so Lin Cheng had to bite the bullet and pay for it. How did this happen? Originally, Hu Lai raised a big sow, and Hu Lai poured the fresh tofu into the pig trough. After a hungry day, the big sow ate all the tofu, and there was nothing left, so everyone couldn't find it at all. This was Zhao Qian's bait-and-switch to Hu Lai. Lin Cheng could not bear to dump the stinky tofu with mildew, picked it up in a jar and pickled it with salt and wine after a while. Hurry up and stir up a piece with bamboo chopsticks. Haha, this pickled tofu is milky yellow, with a transparent surface, beautiful shape and fragrant smell. I can't help but take a curious bite. Wow, it's sun-dried, delicate and refreshing, and it's delicious. When Lin Cheng saw that it was as white as milk, he blurted out, "Good, good, tofu milk!" Lin Cheng picked out the bean curd and sold it. After eating it, all the buyers gave thumbs up and said, "Yummy! Yummy!" In this way, Lin Cheng invented bean curd.
