Making stinky tofu starts with cutting the purchased tofu into pieces. Su Yunjin skillfully used a knife to cut the tofu into identically sized blocks and set them aside for later use.
Gu Ya walked over, intending to help his young wife with the task.
"Yunniang, let me help you."
Once cut into pieces, the fresh tofu needs to be aired out to dry.
When Gu Ya came over to offer his help, Su Yunjin didn't need Gu Ya's assistance.
Instead, she said to him, "Husband, go find a clean wooden board for me and also a larger stone. Wash them clean and bring them to me."
The young wife needed a wooden board and a stone. Gu Ya didn't ask her what she needed them for but went to find them without a word.
As Gu Ya went out to look for the wooden board and stone, Su Yunjin continued busily with her work. By the time Gu Ya returned with the wooden board and stone, Su Yunjin had already neatly cut all the tofu and stacked it together.
