Farmers grow a lot of beans in their fields, which can be used for cooking vegetables and making bean rice. Of course, most of the time, they are sold to grain merchants.
Beans are a very important feed, loved by both cattle and horses, especially horses. Good fodder usually includes some beans.
That's why the beans from Old Zhou's family were mostly sold to grain merchants in the past.
However, ever since Junior Ms. Qian learned how to make tofu, the family seldom sold their beans. Additionally, villagers would occasionally exchange beans for tofu with them, so their home never lacked beans.
Originally, having Zhou Erlang sell tofu in the town made for good business. Now, with a shop directly opened in town, making tofu became even more convenient. Moreover, Junior Ms. Qian learned several tofu recipes from Manbao and modified some on her own, resulting in a variety of tofu dishes that became a specialty of Qian's Restaurant.
