Why do you want to make tofu in rural areas for the New Year?

Tofu is made in rural areas in the New Year, because "tofu" and "Fu Tou" are homophonic, which gives people the desire to make a fortune in the new year. In the countryside, there is a jingle of "Twenty-five of the twelfth lunar month, pushing the mill to make tofu". In some mountainous areas and rural areas, grinding bean curd on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month is a long-standing tradition. For rural people, it is precisely because of the extreme shortage of food materials in rural areas in the past, and the Spring Festival and the Spring Festival are the most important festivals for rural people in a year, so they will choose to make tofu at this time to improve their food.
