Kunze kwenyaya iyi nezvekwakabva kune tofu, kunewo marudzi akasiyana-siyana ezvinyorwa nezvekuti tofu yakagadzirwa sei. Mumwe muenzaniso uye unofarira ndezvemunhu aida vabereki vake zvikuru asi vakange vati vakura uye vakarasikirwa nebasa remazino avo. Vangokwanisa kudya zvokudya zvakaderera chaizvo zvokuti murume akasarudza kubika dzimwe soya kuvabereki vake. Nemhaka yokuti meno avabereki vake akanga asingabatsiri akabatanidza ma soya uye akavaita semushonga.
Vabereki vake vakaravira chidyo che soy soya uye vakachiputira kunze nokuti maiva nemafuta akawanda e soy mazai muhope. Izvo hazvina kunakidza zvakanyanya saka akapedza muto we soya kuburikidza nemimwe nzvimbo muslin. Vabereki vake vakanga vasati vafarira muto nokuti vaifunga kuti zvakanga zvisina kunaka.
Saka akawedzera munyu muhomwe ye soya uye akaipisa zvakare. Nokuti muto wacho waipisa kwazvo akausiya kuti utonhore uye shure kwekunge waronhora pasi akawana wakave "jelly" saizvozvowo.
Akanga aine ruzivo zvikuru zvokuti aive nekutora uye aishamiswa zvachose nekutarisa nekugadzirwa. Akashumira zvimwe zve "jelly jelly" kuvabereki vake, vaida uye izvi ndizvo zvakaita kutifu yakaumbwa.
Uyu ndiwo nyaya yandakaudzwa kana ndaiva musikana muduku. Handina ruzivo kana nyaya yacho ichokwadi asi inofadza zvikuru.
Kumadokero pane kunyanya kushorwa kunopesana tofu. Vanhu vazhinji havazivi kuti vanobika sei tofu zvakanaka uye zvechokwadi murume wangu ainge asina ruzivo rwakanyanya na tofu vasati vasangana naye. Vabereki vake vakafunga kuti tofu yainzwika inosemesa asi kodzero yekutifu yakagadzirirwa zvakarurama inogona kuva yakanakisa chaizvo.
