Chapter 138 Chapter 138

Chen Miao still asked, "Will the bookstore open when I go to the county town the day after tomorrow?"

"It should be after the fifth day, right? I haven't been to a bookstore in the county town for several years."

Chen Miao nodded. It's fine anyway. I'll go there on the fifth day of the new year and ask whether Chen Jiang and the others have left.

To be honest, if you stay here all the time, you won't be in too much danger, but if you go out, you really don't know.

Anyway, the little devil surrendered this year, but it will be several years before he can truly win.

After going out, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were already chopping vegetables. Although there were still ten catties of meat left, they were only eating meat.

"Finished?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked.

"Finished? I just learned thirty characters, which is far from finished."

"Thirty words? I haven't learned a word."

Chen Miao smiled and sat down to light the fire.

"Xiaofeng's, let's fry cabbage. I have stewed blood sausage and vermicelli with sauerkraut."

"Fifth Aunt, I can eat whatever I want." This was the first time I ate outside in the two years since I came here, and even my natal family had never eaten.

"It's time to eat in a while."

It's almost five o'clock now, since you invite people to dinner, go early.

Dinner is pretty big now.Also steamed egg custard for the children.There is no separate table, just eat at one table.

Yunshan Yunxin ate two pieces of blood sausage, and Chen Miao also thought it tasted good.

"Xiaofeng's family eats meat." Shen Wufu's family married Chen Miao with a large piece of braised pork, which was actually the meat from the stewed pork neck.

"Fifth Aunt, I don't want to eat fatty meat. You eat it, don't pick it up for me." Chen Miao quickly picked it up and put it into Shen Wufu's bowl.

"You girl."

"Aunt Wu, I have no shortage of meat. I really like stewed sauerkraut."

"You didn't pickle sauerkraut? Bring some back later."

"Fifth Aunt, I pickled it, and it's ready to eat."

"Don't be embarrassed, come to my house and eat more." Zhao Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"Why am I embarrassed? By the way, Aunt Wu, you know how to make tofu, right? I have a stone mill at home, and there are a lot of soybeans. I wanted to make it years ago, but Uncle Wu and the others went out, and I was not in the mood to do it. Anyway. Even if you eat it at home, it’s not too late to make it in the first month.”

Shen Wufu's family nodded, "I can do it, when do you want to do it? I'll do it for you."

"Fifth Aunt, will it be bad for you to work in the first lunar month?"

"Silly girl, how can country people like us be so particular? It's okay."

"That's ok, do you have to soak the beans? I'll soak them tonight. Tomorrow my two older sisters will come to celebrate the New Year with my parents. We're going to have dinner. What can I bring for them? A few pieces of tofu for the whole family should be fine."

"Okay, why not? This is how it is today."

"If it is possible, I still think about learning how to sell tofu in the future?"

"It's okay, it's better than you farming. Selling tofu can make money, and the leftover tofu dregs can be used to raise pigs. It's actually a good job. It's not necessarily possible to do it now, but you can try it.

You soak a liter of soybeans first.Let your fifth uncle make you a tofu plate tomorrow, otherwise you won't be able to suppress it.

Your fifth uncle's carpentry skills are not good. If your father is fine, he can do it in less than an hour. "

Shen Wufu smiled, "The carpenter's skills are not good. But it's no problem to make a tofu plate. I will definitely make it for you tomorrow before you use it."

"Uncle Wu, don't worry, try tomorrow first."

After dinner, Shen Jianchun and his wife insisted on seeing off their third wife, but Chen Miao did not refuse in the end.

The first thing I do when I get home is to light the fire, which has already been done in the afternoon. In fact, they burn so many fires in their house. Ordinary people use it for three meals a day.

Candles are lit in the house, and stories are played for them, so that they can stay honestly.

I got up the next day and washed the soybeans with warm water. The cloth washed last night was also dry, and I was waiting for someone to come to help.

Shrimp pimple soup made for two children, topped with egg flowers, the two were very satisfied.

After everything was packed, Shen Wufu's family and Zhao Xiaoyun came over with their two children.

"Fifth Aunt, what are you serving?"

"It's brine."

Chen Miao understood. He had heard of ordering tofu with brine before. So this is what brine is like?
"You can still eat it at noon now. It's just that the stone mill has finished grinding the soy milk, so you have to rinse it well. It will freeze in winter."

Pushing the stone mill is not too tiring, mainly because there are few soybeans, and the stone mill in her house is small enough.

The soy milk was poured into the bucket, and Shen Jianchun also brought a plate of tofu.

Chen Miao turned on the fire to bring the soy milk to a boil, and let it cool for a while before ordering tofu, and then scooped it into the white cloth on the tofu plate.

"This kind of cloth is not good for packing, it's too dense. If you have the opportunity to buy cloth in the future, ask them if they have gauze. That's easy to use, and the tofu can be formed quickly."

Chen Miao was nodding. In fact, she felt that the technical content was that it should not burn the pot when cooking soy milk, and that it was based on feeling when ordering brine.

This is not easy to handle.How much does it feel like?

Wrap the tofu with cloth and press a wooden board on it.Put two pots of water on it, and you can see water seeping from the outside of the tofu plate.

"Fifth Aunt, is that all right?"

"It's almost done, just wait for the water to be squeezed out, and the tofu will be formed."

"I'll try it myself tomorrow. I need to know how much brine to put in."

"The bit of brine in the bowl is enough for you to use for a while. The pharmacy in the town sells brine. You can buy some and keep it. But don't let your children touch it.

There was a widow in my natal family who couldn't live on anymore. She drank brine, which was hopeless. "

Chen Miao nodded aside, "Fifth Aunt, I understand."

"Okay, I guess it's about an hour, let's go back first."

On the second day of the new year, I was embarrassed to keep them here. After a while, the tofu was formed and I went to give them a pot.

You can do it yourself, whenever you want.

Making tofu is really gritty, the ground is covered with water.If you want to make tofu, you need to get a wing room.

In fact, what they said yesterday was also true, life is difficult now and maybe not many people buy tofu.

I'll talk about it later, I don't necessarily have time, so I'd better take care of the two children.

Cleaned up and started a fire.If I don't eat at home at noon, there will be less fire, and the house will not be so warm. After the spring planting, I will find someone to dismantle the kang and build it again.

The two children followed each other, Chen Miao was afraid that they would fall down, the ground was still not dry, and the sweet potatoes were steamed in the pot, after chopping firewood, he accompanied the two of them in to play.

Now they are playing with educational toys of that kind. I am really grateful to my sister's supermarket.

She was flipping through the dictionary, but there were still many traditional characters she didn't know, so she had better read more.
