Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 202 Order a Pot of Tofu

When Xu Ying and Xu Sanniang returned to Taoyaju, Zhufeng Wenya and the others hadn't returned home yet, old man Xu was also playing at a friend's house, and he didn't even go home for lunch.

There are still only two children in the family, one big and one small, which makes Xu Sanniang a little uneasy. She always feels that the adults are not at home and the children can't make decisions.

Xu Ying felt very at ease, handing over all the snacks and snacks bought by Jiusuzhai to Qingyu, and then walked around the yard with Shi'an.

Seeing Xu Sanniang's discomfort, Qingyu comforted her, "My father and mother always teach us to be happy to help others. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It should be human nature to help each other." He took Xu Sanniang to the ear room.

Xu Sanniang saw that although she was young, she was calm and generous, not inferior to an adult at all, and she admired Zhufeng and Wenya who had not yet met in her heart.Parents who can raise such a child must not be ordinary people.

Qingyu brought Xu Sanniang to the ear room, "Auntie can rest here, if there is anything missing, just tell me."

Xu Sanniang saw the elegant furnishings in the house and the tidy beds, her eyes flushed with emotion.

"My child, thank you." Xu Sanniang didn't know what else to say, so she could only thank you again and again.

Qing Yu smiled slightly, "It's fate to meet you, so you don't need to say thank you."

Seeing that the sun was still early, Xu Sanniang secretly thought that she could order some tofu as a thank you gift, so she soaked the remaining large bag of beans.

The round and plump soybeans finally softened after being soaked in water for more than an hour.Xu Sanniang took out the stone mill and began to grind soybean milk bit by bit.

Qingyu had never seen any tofu before, so she sat by and watched curiously.

Xu Sanniang's wrist was strong and her movements were agile. She scooped a spoonful of soaked beans and poured them into the hole of the stone mill. Then she swung her arm a few times, and soon the snow-white soybean milk trickled down the trough of the stone mill.

The nose is full of beany smell.Qingyu poked with her hand curiously. The soy milk looked like foam, but when she pinched it, it felt a bit rough, which was different from the delicate one she imagined.

A bucket of raw soybean milk was quickly ground from a pot of beans. Xu Sanniang asked where the kitchen was, and then carried the wooden bucket into the kitchen.Wash the pot and pour a bucket full of soy milk into the pot.

Qing Yu guessed and asked: "Do you want to burn the pot?"

"I'll do it." Xu Sanniang smiled, sat down in front of the stove, lit the fire, and soon hot smoke rose from the pot.Taking advantage of the fire in the stove hole, Xu Sanniang turned to the stove again and scooped the pot with a spatula.

Seeing Qingyu staring at it curiously, she explained: "This way, you can shovel it a few times from time to time so that the bottom of the pot won't get mushy."

Qingyu nodded slightly.Xu Sanniang burns the stove and shovels the pan for a while, and looks at both ends. She controls it very well, so she can't find a place to help even if she wants to help, so she can only take the candied cakes from Jiusuzhai and sit aside to watch and eat.

The soy milk is cooked very quickly.

Xu Sanniang cleaned another pot, then put a well-shaped wooden shelf on the pot, and put a large shauke on top of it, and finally spread a layer of fine filter paper on the shauke, and began to filter the bean dregs.

The boiled soybean milk is scooped into the Shau Kei one by one, and the cooked soybean milk is filtered into the pot, milky white and silky; the bean dregs are left in the Shau Kei.In this way, soymilk and okara are completely separated.

Xu Sanniang poured the bean dregs into the barrel, and said to Qingyu, "This bean dregs is good for feeding chickens, ducks, and pigs."

Qingyu nodded her head.Seeing that Xu Sanniang took out several bowls, scooped a few bowls of steaming milky white soybean milk from the pot, and added some sugar to the bowls, she consciously leaned over and picked up a bowl.

The soy milk is very rich and smells like the natural aroma of beans. It is as white as snow and as smooth as silk. It really tastes delicious.

Qingyu drank a few sips of the hot soy milk, with a little sweetness and soy milk taste, and she was so hot that she was sweating after just a few sips. She couldn't help but think that it would be very comfortable to drink this in winter.

Xu Sanniang went out and called Xu Ying and Shi'an, asking them to drink soy milk as well.

Qingyu was wondering, how could a large pot of soy milk turn into tofu?Then I saw Xu Sanniang take out a small bottle and pour something into the pot.

She asked curiously, "What is that?"

"Bitter. It's for making tofu. With this thing, this pot of soy milk can be turned into white and tender tofu." Xu Sanniang explained.

Shi'an and Xu Ying entered the kitchen.Xu Ying first handed Shi'an a bowl of soy milk, rather showing off: "Try the soy milk made by my mother, it is definitely the best soy milk you have ever had."

Shi An drank a few sips, smiled and praised: "It's delicious."

The tofu solidified very quickly, and it took only one stick of incense before it was completely agglomerated.

Xu Sanniang washed the remaining bean dregs on the filter cloth, set up the Shau Kei and the filter cloth on another pot, and scooped the conglomerated bean curds into the Shau Kei one by one.This time, the white and tender bean curd was filled in the Shau Kei, but the excess water was filtered out in the pot.

After all the bean curds are filtered, Xu Sanniang wraps the bean curds around and presses them firmly with a filter cloth, and finally puts the bucket of bean curd dregs on the bean curds to shape them by gravity. At this point, the tofu is considered complete.

"Son, when do your adults usually come back?" Xu Sanniang asked Qing Yu after tidying up everything.

Qing Yu looked at the time, "There is still about half an hour."

Xu Sanniang said hello, and made dinner.And after she finished a table of meals, everyone returned one after another.

Hongtao was the first to return home, and when she got home, she saw Xu Ying was there. Although she was a little surprised, she didn't ask much. Instead, she was very curious about the extra flocks of chickens, ducks and bees in the house, so she chased Qingyu to ask how she got there.

Before Qing Yu finished telling her, Wen Ya and Xu Lan returned.

Shi'an introduced Xu Ying and Xu Sanniang to Wen Ya, and told about Xu Ying and his wife's borrowing.

Xu Sanniang pulled her son, and before she could say apologetic words, Wen Ya stopped her first, advised her to be polite, and said how long she wanted to stay, which moved Xu Sanniang to tears again.

After seeing Wen Ya, Xu Ying was a little stunned, and took a while to turn Guai Shi'an's arm, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Your mother is the owner of the mountain pavilion? Brother, why are you keeping it from me?" At one time, I wanted to worship at the gate of the mountain pavilion and come down.

Shi An explained with a smile: "You didn't ask, so I didn't say anything."

Xu Ying sighed, if he didn't have something he wanted to do now, he would have asked to worship in the mountain pavilion no matter what.

When it was getting dark, Zhufeng and old man Xu finally came back from two different directions.

Zhuifeng looked tired, but old man Xu was flushed.The two stepped into the house almost at the same time, saw each other, and Zhufeng envied that old man Xu could finally enjoy his old age in peace, while old man Xu advised Zhufeng not to tire himself out like him.

The two entered the hospital talking and laughing.Zhuifeng noticed that the lotus in the lotus pond was in full bloom, and was very pleasantly surprised, and then heard some strange voices in the yard, which was a bit strange, and then heard voices from the direction of the dining room, thinking it was a neighbor coming to the door, and ended up entering the hall At first glance, it was a mother and son who did not know each other.

Wen Ya saw them first, and greeted them: "If you haven't come back for a long time, we'll eat first." Then, she introduced Xu's mother and son to Zhuifeng and old man Xu.

The three greeted each other politely.Xu Lan went to serve the meal and set the bowls and chopsticks. At this time, the whole family finally gathered together.

At the dinner table, everyone talked about their day's harvest.

Chasing the Wind said that the land of Dongyezhuang needs to be reorganized.

Hearts said that the people in Tongyuan need to reorganize.

Shi'an said that a swarm of bees came to the house.

Xu Sanniang expressed apology for the tofu feast on the table, "I have nothing to thank, I can only order a pot of tofu, I don't know if you like it or not."

A table of people smiled and praised the food, warm and sincere, which made Xu Sanniang completely at ease.

　Sometimes, friends are the ones who leave you, but strangers reach out to help.The day I graduated from college, I had no money, no place to live, and no job.Fortunately, my best friend who was inseparable rented a house during the internship (I was still living in school during the internship), so I planned to live with her for a few days and move out when I rented the house.It's a pity that she was going to go out on the second day after I lived there. Although I was very embarrassed, I also cheekily asked to continue to stay. I was out looking for a job and a house during the day, but I just went back to sleep at night That's all, but she rejected me outright, saying she was going out for a few days.I had nothing to say and couldn't sleep all night.Well, my inseparable friend; well, I spent more than 150 yuan to give her a bottle of Fifth Avenue perfume on the day of graduation, and my monthly living expenses are only [-]; well, our three-year friendship may be It's not worth mentioning; well, helping others is a kindness, not helping others is a duty, I have nothing to say.So the next day, after she left for work early in the morning, I dragged my suitcase and left her house.I was careful not to tell her "I'm leaving", and she seemed to have forgotten to ask me "Are you gone?" We became strangers in an instant like this. (ps: In fact, ordering tofu is made at our house every year during the Chinese New Year. Every thirty nights, I will order tofu with my mother. When I was a child, I used a stone mill to grind soybean milk, and later I used a machine to grind it. Times, is always changing.)
