Chapter 35: Make some tofu with brine! (Seeking for collection)

The weather was very good, dry and cold, without a trace of wind. The bluish-white sun hung crookedly in the sky, as if it had been frozen into an ice ball by the severe cold in the Northeast, without any heat.

In the stable, the maroon horse was grazing leisurely. The big black horse, which had just recovered from a serious illness, was leaning comfortably against the wooden post. Sun Jianping was holding a brush to help comb its shiny black hair.

Suddenly there was a voice outside, and the big black horse's sharp ears moved back and forth following the sound, like a moving radar.

"You stay here for a few more days, and we'll think of a solution..."

"I really can't stay here any longer. I don't know what's going on at home now. I'm really worried..."

Lao Cao and Bao Tu walked in from outside, stomping the snow on their feet. Sun Jianping put down his shovel and waved to Bao Tu, "Brother Bao Tu, are you leaving now?"

"Well, brother, I've been out here for a few days. I don't know what's going on at home..." Bao Tu reached out and unhooked his horse, the yellow gelding, and grinned at Sun Jianping, "Brother, if you have free time, go to our grassland to play. I'll give it to you. You catch the lark!”

"I'll definitely visit him when I have time!" Sun Jianping walked up to him, took out two hundred yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into his sleeve, and stunned the man.

"You only borrowed a hundred, why did you pay back so much..."

"I borrowed it from my classmates. Take it, brother. You guys are in urgent need of money now... Just think that I borrowed it from you..."

"No, no, it's not easy for you either..." Bao Tu couldn't help but put the money back into his pocket. Sun Jianping waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't worry about me, how much money can I spend? But you, so many cattle and sheep are waiting with their mouths open. food……"

"That is, you take it first and get over this hurdle first. It will be the same when you return it to him in the future."

Lao Cao chimed in and gave a thumbs up in his heart. He borrowed one hundred and returned two hundred. This kid Jianping is so benevolent and righteous!
Pay attention!

The two persuaded each other kindly, and Bao Tu sighed, and put his big hand like a cattail fan on Sun Jianping's shoulder, "Okay, brother, I will keep your love in mind, brother!"

"You go back and have a good talk with everyone, hurry up and drive over to bring food. Humans can endure it, but these cattle and horses cannot!"

On the small bridge at the entrance of the village, Lao Cao pulled the reins of the horse and told Bao Tu'er to give orders. Bao Tu'er nodded repeatedly, "Uncle Cao, don't worry. I'll ask them to drive over when we get back."

"Well, hurry up and go. I think it's going to snow again today, so don't let you stand in the middle of the road."

"Then I'll leave first. Uncle Cao, take care!" Bao Tu hugged Sun Jianping and Lao Cao, "Brother Jianping, we will remember your great kindness and kindness! Take care!"

"See you later!" Sun Jianping also imitated him and cupped his fists and raised his hands, making Bao Tu laugh. He put his legs in stirrups and disappeared on the vast mountain road like a whirlwind.

"Alas!" Lao Cao stopped at the bridge, looked at the strong Mongolian man walking away, and sighed, "This old Mongolian..."

He turned to Sun Jianping and asked, "Jianping, where did you get the two hundred yuan?"

"My classmate and I borrowed it!" Sun Jianping was not lying.

"Stop teasing me. Those educated youth classmates of yours are all extremely poor. How can they get the money to lend you money?" Obviously this excuse did not convince Lao Cao.

"I borrowed it from Qian Huijun."

"It's her..." Lao Cao frowned at the mention of this name, "You should stay away from that girl from now on. A Category 5 element may abduct you."

Sun Jianping responded vaguely and followed Lao Cao towards the village, taking a glance at the Gulu River.

The fishing nets have been put away long ago. Almost all the big fish in the river have been caught, and the rest are small fish about a foot long. They have many spines and are not tasty. They also waste oil.

So Sun Jianping had to put away the fishing net and put it away.

"Uncle, are there a lot of people in Nahe Farm?" Sun Jianping asked intentionally or unintentionally, and Lao Cao snorted, "A lot! It's a state-owned farm, with thousands of people, occupying all the land in the south. , I heard that the grain produced is directly supplied to the capital for the high officials to eat, what is it called special supply..." "That's what I thought..." Sun Jianping rolled his eyes and said, which shocked Uncle Cao, "How dare you kid, you dare to poop, and then let people recognize you, I will have to arrest you!"

"I'm just talking casually!" Sun Jianping chuckled, and Uncle Cao shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, let's not make such nonsense, no one can run away if caught again."

"These days, the brave will starve to death, and the timid will starve. Our team has nothing to show for it, so how can we buy aged grain to fill the gap in rations?"

Sun Jianping was not angry, but presented the facts and reasoned. What the team lacks most now is money!
If you don’t have money, how can you buy food to survive the spring famine?

If you don’t have money, how can you buy materials to repair canals?
No money...

After he said this, Lao Cao was a little tempted, "Can it be done?"

"Don't worry, it can be done!"

Sun Jianping raised his eyebrows at him, and Lao Cao sighed, "You just worry about those things during the autumn harvest. Okay, you can do it yourself! I don't care."

"Thank you, Uncle Cao!"

Sun Jianping was so happy that he jumped three feet high!

What he was eyeing this time was not something else, but the thousand kilograms of soybeans that were newly harvested this fall and reserved for livestock as feed grain.

Using these soybeans, Sun Jianping wanted to do some speculation in exchange for some money. He would first pay back the 100 yuan he borrowed from Huijun, and then buy more resale grain.

In the mobile grain depot of the production team, one thousand kilograms of newly harvested soybeans were packed into five large sacks with patches. When you grabbed a handful, they were yellow and round, with plump grains. You could tell they were of good quality at first glance.

There have been consecutive droughts in spring and summer this year, but thanks to the irrigation from the Gulu River, the soybeans planted in the depressions under the river beach are growing very well, and the yield has broken the historical record, reaching 300 kilograms per mu!

"What a good thing!" Sun Jianping pinched one and threw it into his mouth. With a squeaking sound, the soybeans exploded, and a rich beany flavor jumped on the tip of his tongue. It is indeed a pure green and pollution-free good food!
"Jianping, what are you going to do?" Cao Chungui tied a sack of soybeans to his mouth and tried it based on the strength of his arms. The soybeans were very heavy. The sack alone weighed two hundred kilograms, but he was confident that he could carry it.

"Don't we have a stone mill? Let's soak the soybeans first, and let's make frozen tofu." Sun Jianping helped him put a whole sack of soybeans on his shoulders, and Cao Chungui's big feet like cattail fans stepped on the loess ground, sending up bursts of smoke.

There is no shortage of tough guys like this in the countryside!
In the era when electricity was not widely available, every village had one or two stone mills for grinding grain for the villagers. Since the autumn harvest, these two stone mills have been almost idle, grinding raw grains into powder from morning to night every day. shaped cornmeal to fill everyone’s hungry bellies.

Tomorrow it was Chen Peilin's turn to use the millstone to grind grain. Hearing that Sun Jianping was going to make tofu, Chen Peilin showed his style and took the initiative to give him the millstone so that he could work hard!
Zhang Ziyi also came. As the leading gourmet in the village, he has unique experience in making tofu.

"Did you see Jianping? What is this?"

Zhang Ziyi shook a glass bottle in his hand, and Sun Jianping took it and took a look. It was filled with something dark and unknown.

"Old brine!" Zhang Ziyi raised his eyebrows proudly, "Brine makes tofu, and every thing is reduced. Without this thing, no matter how good the beans are, you can't make tofu!"

"Uncle Zhang, I'm afraid your old brine is not as pure as mine." Sun Jianping also took out a glass bottle from his pocket, shook it, and said with a smile.

"Hey, kid, let's have a competition?"

"Compete!"
