Step 2 make tofu

According to textual research, tofu belongs to Liu Anming, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty. Zhu, a cattle man in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Tofu": "Planting peas will be tiring and heart rot. If you know Huainan, you will have a spring cloth. " Interestingly, some places still have the custom of eating tofu residue before New Year's Eve. Speaking of it, on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the "rot" of tofu is homophonic with the "blessing" of happiness, so tofu stands for praying for "blessing".

Luannian is a special period designed by people to adjust their social life. At the end of the year, people have leisure and savings, which is a good opportunity for those who have little energy to do great things.
