It is precisely because of the unique status of tofu in the village that now, every villager in Dongzhangzhuang has an inseparable historical complex with tofu. As a local characteristic economy, the tofu skin processing produced in Xintai Yangliu Town has a history of more than 100 years, and it has become a well-known professional village for tofu skin processing. On the 5th, the reporter walked into Dongzhangzhuang Village, Yangliu Town, Xintai, and witnessed the entire production process of tofu skin.

[Traditional workshop] After several processes, soy milk becomes tofu skin

On the morning of the 5th, the reporter came to the home of Zhang Weidong, a villager in Dongzhangzhuang Village, Yangliu Town, Xintai. This is a tofu skin processing point in Dongzhangzhuang Village. As soon as I entered the door, the fragrance of soy milk came out, and the small courtyard was covered with clean long strips of cloth, which are the "skin cloth" used to make tofu skin. In the center of the yard, two iron tripods set up a simple drying rack, and rows of bean curd skins were dried on smooth-ground bamboo poles. Zhang Weidong and his wife Ji Zhenmei are busy in the workshop in the East Room.

The reporter saw that in this space of about 30 square meters, there are a refiner, a mixer, and a processing table in sequence. There is an earthen stove in the corner of the house, and a large pot full of soy milk is steaming hot. mist. Zhang Weidong poured the soaked soybeans into the refiner, and then placed a bucket behind the refiner. As the white bean dregs continued to pour out, the thick white soy milk also continued to flow into the bucket. Zhang Weidong poured the ground soy milk into a large pot and boiled it, skimmed off the foam, scooped it into a large vat next to the stove, and put the stirring stick of the mixer into the vat to start "stirring".

"In some places, brine is used to make tofu, and here we use gypsum powder." Zhang Weidong said. The soy milk after "pointing" becomes a semi-solidified bean brain shape, and then the bean brain is broken and stirred for a second time. This process is called "churning the brain". If you want to make tofu skin with good toughness and taste, you must have a precise grasp of the strength and time of brain stirring. After cooling the soy milk after "stirring the brain", the mold can be placed on the processing table, and the most important process of making tofu skin is "splashing".

The mold for making tofu skin is a square iron "box" with a length and width of 30 centimeters and a height of about ten centimeters. Ji Zhenmei first took a white "leather cloth" about 7 meters long and 33 centimeters wide, spread one end of the cloth strip on the bottom of the mold, scooped up a spoonful of soy milk after "stirring the brain", and "splashed it evenly". "On the cloth strip, turn the "leather cloth" over again, and pour a layer of pulp... Repeat this, the pulp and cloth strips are fixed in the mold, until the three stacked molds are all filled with soy milk and cloth strips. Full. Then enter the "skin pressing" process. After the last layer of "leather cloth" is covered, a smooth marble is pressed, and then the tripod tripod on the processing table is rotated down and fastened to the marble, and the tripod is turned by hand, and the white bean juice will come out from between the molds. The joint gap flows out. Press down the mold, let it stand for half an hour, remove the mold, and the tofu skin wrapped with white cloth will take shape. "After drying for a long time, you can "tear the skin"." Ji Zhenmei said, "tear the skin" is to tear the tofu skin from the "skin cloth", fold it and flatten it, then put it in a large pot and add salt to boil it. After letting it cool down, you're done.

Industry dream] has built a mechanized vacuum processing line

"At present, the total annual processing volume of the village is about 1 million kilograms, and the income is 1 million yuan. The per capita income of the village is 700 yuan for processing soy products, accounting for 14% of the per capita net income. Tofu skin processing has become a feature of our village. industry, but the soy product processing industry has always been at the level of being scattered and doing small things, and there has been no major development." Zhang Meng, the party secretary of Dongzhangzhuang Village, said.

Since 2005, the village has started to run the market for this characteristic economic pillar, conduct surveys, help farmers contact loans, purchase equipment, and support many farmers to dry tofu skin and tofu workshops. In the process of processing, instruct the processing households to strictly control the selection of beans, grinding beans, water quality, cooking, etc., to ensure product quality and operate with integrity. In terms of scale, realize the extension from the tofu skin processing industry to the breeding industry and planting industry, and form a circular industrial chain of "soy products - bean dregs - pig raising - planting".

With the vigorous development of the soy product processing industry, many farmers who make tofu skin use tofu residue instead of feed to raise pigs to increase their income. Using tofu slag to raise pigs can save an average of seven or eighty yuan for a fattening pig from piglet to slaughtering, and the raised fat pigs have bright color, fragrant taste and good sales. "In the past, there were farmers who processed soy products. In order to make more money, the family fed 2-3 pigs, and the income was considerable after a year. The farmers who tasted the sweetness began to try to expand the scale of breeding, from a few to dozens of pigs. ." Zhang Meng said. Dongzhang Village is not only famous for the tofu skins it produces, but also becomes a specialized village for raising pigs. Every household in the village raises 4 pigs, and the households that process tofu all year round produce about 6 pigs per year. The village produces 5,000 pigs annually, and the income from the breeding industry is 1.5 million yuan. Yuan, the per capita income increased by 1,000 yuan, accounting for 23% of the per capita net income.

Since 2006, the village has taken advantage of the situation to organize villagers to study advanced pig raising techniques in other places, provide villagers with information on market conditions, technologies, etc., contact pig breeding farms to introduce high-quality breeds, and actively coordinate funds to help farmers coordinate loans for raising pigs. pig. In early 2010, Dongzhangzhuang Village built an ecological pig farm with an area of 60 mu and an annual output of 5,000 pigs, enabling farmers to achieve "unified varieties, unified epidemic prevention, unified technology, and unified sales". Zhang Wenqing, director of the farm, said that the remaining bean curd residue from soy products is a good feed for pigs.

Talking about the development of the tofu skin processing industry in the future, Zhang Meng said that he is now applying for the QS logo and his own product logo. The next step is to use the existing good reputation of soy products in the village to develop the deep processing of soy products. A way of value. Zhang Meng pointed to a blue and white factory next to the farm and said that at present, the first vacuum processing line for tofu skin has been built in the village, and everything from the refining process to the packaging is mechanized.
