Traveling through the money-making life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 887 Making Tofu (1)

"Rou'er, pour the beans." Shen Zhuo suddenly called Chen Rou.

Frightened, Chen Rou quickly looked away, she scooped up some of it with a water ladle, poured it on the stone mill, and asked Shen Zhuo to start grinding.

The beans for making soy milk don’t need to be grinded specially, just crush them, and put the ground soybean water in the prepared wooden barrel, just boil it in the pot.

If it is to make tofu, the soybeans must be ground several times. The ground bean dregs can be filtered out through gauze cloth. Tofu needs to be marinated. Su Liniang has prepared these things before Chen Rou and Shen Zhuo came. The only thing she didn’t do is, Just clean the mill.

Shen Zhuo didn't feel tired as she pushed the stone mill. Chen Rou kept adding soybeans to her, sweeping the soybeans, and wiping off her sweat. When the whole pot of beans was ground, the two of them were a little tired.

Even so, Shen Zhuo still asked his wife's opinion on whether to make tofu today or tomorrow.

Chen Rou looked at the time spent, and didn't care about the last process, so she just did it tonight. The tofu can be kept in clear water, and the soy milk can be packed in something after it's cooked, and put in the well. Even if you don't do these things It doesn't matter, the temperature at night is much lower than that during the day, and the soy milk will not go bad at all in one night.

In fact, there are still many steps to making tofu. Adding brine is still a very important thing. Shen Zhuo has never made tofu himself, so he can only try it a little bit. Who knows, when he returned to the kitchen, Tomoko who had already slept crawled again stand up.

"I know that you have finished grinding the beans at this time, and I have to add the brine. You are watching from the side."

First, the fire was lit, the soy milk was boiled, and then brine was added to the soy milk. Youzi moved very slowly, drop by drop, and kept stirring in one direction with the spoon in his hand. After he stopped stirring, he told Chen Rou and Shen Zhuo , the tofu had to keep warm and waited for two sticks of incense, and Chen Rou silently wrote down every step of Tomoko.

From cooking the soy milk to ordering water and adding marinade, because there was still waiting, Youzi simply chatted with Shen Zhuo.

"A Zhuo, do you have any plans for the future?" Youzi found a wooden stool and asked Shen Zhuo who was sitting at the door of the stove.

"Planting the land." Shen Zhuo answered truthfully.

He has no specific plan, but he must plant those high-yield rice.

Not for other reasons, but those people in Taoyuan Village sent out the rice, and he had to let the rice play its biggest role.

After hearing this, Tomoko was very satisfied with Shen Zhuo's answer.

"I'm also planning to farm, but I'm not going to cooperate with my elder brother. Since my elder sister-in-law died, he married another wife. Not to mention, he has become lazy and wants to take advantage of my family all day long. I was kicked out by her good wife, so after the beginning of spring, I will not be with him anymore."

Shen Zhuo had also acquired some land before, although it was the most barren land, but the yield was quite high, especially the fertilizer he contributed. Now everyone in the village makes their own fertilizer. In the village, these are all contributions made by Shen Zhuo before. I have to admit that Shen Zhuo has actually done a lot of things, but most people in the village don't feel it.

Chen Rou listened beside her. She actually agreed with Tomoko's idea. After all, no one would feel comfortable with such a big brother.

No one wants to support idlers for nothing, everyone should contribute.

"Then what are you going to tell your elder brother?"
