Chapter 494 Grinding Soybean Juice, Selling It Early ([-])

When Fu Tianze met Shen Mei in Jining, Xu Qingru and Ling Yue were helping Hong Mu make bean juice in the yard of Hong Mu's house.

Soybean juice is a unique snack of the old BJ. The process of making it is not simple. First, soak mung beans overnight, add water and grind them into a thin paste, then add slurry water, and filter out the powder slurry.After the powder slurry is poured into a large tank for precipitation, raw soybean juice is obtained, which needs to be precipitated before cooking.

After precipitation, cold water can be added to cook raw soybean juice.

This complicated procedure is only going to the second step now, which is grinding.

Ling Yue pushed the big stone mill and slowly turned it in a circle, deeply doubting his physical strength.Usually he goes up and down the mountain, and it is not a problem to walk more than ten miles a day. How can he just push a stone mill, so tired...

Xu Qingru followed the rhythm, adding some water to the stone mill from time to time.

Hong Mu sat on a small bench beside him, crossed his legs, watched the two grinding beans very unskillfully, and shook his head: "The little boy nowadays really doesn't know how to do any work."

Ling Yue almost cried.

Can this be his fault?When he was a child, he also helped his family grind tofu and sold tofu...but he was so tired like now.

The two of them grinded for a long time, but the bean juice produced still didn't fill the bottom of the wooden barrel.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you two little dolls are so slow, I don't think you may be able to make a bucket of soybean juice in a month."

Hong Mu continued to laugh.

Xu Qingru remained silent, adding water slowly at her own pace, turning a deaf ear to Hong Mu's cynicism.

After a long time, a layer of bean juice finally accumulated in the barrel. Hong Mu was tired from watching the play, so he yawned, stood up, and stretched himself.

"Okay, okay, keep grinding, I'll take a nap first."

After speaking, the person disappeared as soon as he slipped away.

While pushing the stone mill, Ling Yue said, "Why is this mill so hard to push? I'm so hungry... I can eat a bucket of rice..."

Xu Qingru put down the ladle in her hand, walked to one side, and took out a small piece of wood from the side of the stone mill, threw it aside, and said to Ling Yue, "Now try."

Ling Yue was startled, and pushed forward a few steps, and sure enough, it went smoothly.

"What... what's going on?" He was dumbfounded.

Xu Qing smiled: "He added a barrier to the stone mill, so it's not easy to push."

Ling Yue was about to explode: "This old man is tricking us again!" After thinking about it for a second, he frowned and looked at Xu Qingru, and asked her, "You found out a long time ago?"

Then why not say it earlier, let him waste all this effort.

Xu Qingru sighed, and said: "He just wants to punish us, we won't let him have a good time, can he stop?"

Maybe he will come up with some bad tricks to torment them.

Ling Yue understood, and cheered up: "It's easy now, let me grind this bucket of soybean juice in minutes."

Without Hong Mu's mischief, within three hours, the two had already ground a bucket full of raw soybean juice.

They can't make their own decisions about the next process.

The two pulled up two small benches and sat in the shade of a tree in the yard to enjoy the shade.

Ling Yue asked Xu Qingru, "Who do you think is stopping Hong Mu from helping us?"

Xu Qingru recounted her conjecture: "It's either a competitor, or a member of the 'Six Worms'."

"Competitor? Someone who competes with you for the position of head of the Southern School? Isn't that your sister?"

Xu Ruofan dealt with Xu Qingru several times, and Ling Yue heard about it, he thought about the so-called "competitors", and didn't think that those other old men would take Xu Qingru seriously, and there was nothing wrong with it.
