Chapter 87 Soy Milk, My Favorite ([-])

Ask for recommendations and favorites.Ask for a reward, please…………………

Hei Zhu immediately blushed, rubbed his hands together, and nodded seriously.

"Hei Zhu has a thin skin, but this child is the most real," Granny Zhang said with a smile.

Yi Xue chuckled, the villagers of Xiahe Village must have weighed their own beans when they came, and they didn't have to settle accounts one by one by themselves.

"A total of twenty-eight coins and twenty-five coins," Yi Xue said in one go.

Tianjia was still counting on the sidelines, ten fingers were almost not enough, and he was in a trance when he was counting, but he was a little shocked when he heard the eldest lady say it out loud.

"Ma'am, I'll break the silver for you, and it will be easy to calculate when you go back." Yi Xue counted out the silver and copper coins carefully, and handed a small bag to Granny Zhang.

"Miss is really a bodhisattva with a heart and a careful mind. If you want to do something else, please tell the old lady that I am an old man in these ten miles and eight villages. There is no one who doesn't know." Granny Zhang took the silver and handed it over To Hei Zhu, it can be seen that Hei Zhu is indeed a trustworthy person.

Granny Zhang also invited Mrs. Zhang to her home, but Mrs. Zhang politely declined on the grounds that she was busy at home.

After another day, Hei Zhu and two other men started delivering beans to Yi Xue's house.Yixue sent people to the town to buy eggs, and let Lao Zhangtou incubate the chickens.At the same time, the plow tools were also delivered, and Yi Xue arranged for Tianjia and others to combine the upper part and the lower part, and then put them in the warehouse.

"After dinner, everyone came to the yard," Yi Xue said.

After dinner, everyone gathered together and looked at Yi Xue. After this day-long life, everyone gradually calmed down. They felt that the host was not bad, and the clothes were distributed the next day, and the food was not bad.The key is that the boss is a good person, and he is polite when talking to his servants, and never yells or scolds loudly.

Yi Xue cleared her voice and said, "You are members of our family, that is, my family. From today onwards, each of you can get a monthly profit of [-] Wen. Of course, if you work hard enough in the future, you can There are more rewards. At the same time, I will make two clothes for you every season"

"What?" Everyone was astonished, then excited. They didn't expect that the host would give money back, fifty cents, which was more than those big families, and immediately greatly mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.What moved them even more was that the eldest lady said that these servants are family members, not servants, and there is a big difference in just one title.

Touched and comfortable, many people straightened their backs.

"Thank you, miss," everyone shouted excitedly, approving this family from the bottom of their hearts.

"Sister-in-law Jia, bring Qiushui to buy some daily necessities when you come back tomorrow. I see that there are still a lot of things missing at home. You can just buy them as you see fit. Don't ask me." Yi Xue handed over the power to Mrs. Jia.

Mrs. Jia was so happy that she fainted. If the eldest lady asked him to buy clothes for everyone, it would be a test, but now she let herself handle daily necessities and make decisions on her own, that is to say, she has a certain amount of money. Si Dong's trust in himself.I didn't expect that the eldest lady would entrust him with such an important task the next day. At the same time, she knew in her heart that the eldest lady was trying to establish a good relationship with these people. It is the opportunity given by the eldest lady, and it must be done well.

"Yes, miss," Sister-in-law Jia replied respectfully, with high spirits.

Yi Xue froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile. It can be seen in the past few days that Mrs. Jia is quick in doing things, diligent in her hands and feet, and gets along well with other people. In private, she also heard that Mrs. Jia is a very good person.

Standing in the distance, Wang Yin felt a little complicated at the moment.Looking at Yi Xue's family, I was amazed that this girl is not only intelligent, but also wins people's hearts and is not greedy for money.It's a pity that such a good seedling was wasted on firewood, rice, oil and salt.

If I had such a student, I don't know how many people I would be envious of.It's a pity, this girl is so desperate for money.

God is jealous of talent.

Everyone left happily, Yi Xue and his family members sat and chatted separately, they were busy these few days, so they didn't sit together to have a good talk.Although Tianjia is in charge of the outside affairs and Mrs. Jia in the inner courtyard is in charge, Mrs. Zhang still can't sit still and has to personally intervene in everything.As a result, in the past few days, my mother didn't see her very often. She only talked a few words every night, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

"Xiao Jun, I've been too busy these days, and I didn't ask about your studies. How do you feel now?" Yi Xue asked.

Mrs. Zhang also watched expectantly.To be honest, when Wang Yindang arrived, Mrs. Zhang was still a little worried, thinking that this person liked to drink too much, so the first impression was not good.

Xiaojun sat upright, held his head high, put his hands on his knees, and then said methodically, "Mother, sister, Mr. Wang is very strict, but he is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of knowledge."

Yi Xue put her arms around her mother's neck, "Mother, look, Xiaojun is very disciplined now, and his posture is like a little gentleman."

Xiaojun blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment, revealing his childish nature again.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Our family burns high incense, which is considered a good gentleman." Mrs. Zhang still recognized Wang Yin.

Yi Xue has listened to Mr. Wang's class several times, and knows that this gentleman has real talents and practical learning. He speaks elegantly, explains thoroughly, and most importantly, is patient.Even Sanya, he can patiently teach to write.Sanya can't sit still usually, for some reason, when Wang Yin is around, she is very honest.

Wang Yin never preached, he always said what he meant, and he never forced Xiaojun to obey his own point of view. From this point of view, he was quite rational, not a rigid poor Confucian.

"Eldest sister, I am also very obedient." Sanya blinked her eyes and pouted her lips, protesting that the mother and eldest sister did not ask her.

Zhang Shi and Yi Xue laughed, Zhang Shi put her arms around Sanya, and lightly tapped her little cool nose, "Of course you're all right, you seem to have grown a little taller", as he said, he rubbed his face against the little girl face.

Sanya was tickled by Mrs. Zhang and started giggling. They talked warmly and praised Erya for her good needlework.

Two days later, Wang Changxi finally brought the stone mill, but he pulled it twice with an ox cart.This stone mill is too big and too heavy.Tianjia and the others laboriously pulled the stone mill into the pre-prepared tofu workshop, sweating profusely, and then carefully installed it.

Yi Xue also asked Mrs. Jia and the others to wash the grinding disc clean, sweeping the whole house without leaving a speck of dust.For this reason, Yi Xue also specially asked Zhang Xian to install the floor on the floor of the house, using granite, and the walls were also painted white with quicklime, making the house look clean and bright.

After assembling the stone mill, Yi Xue couldn't wait.Finally, she can make soy milk, eat tofu, and tofu, Yi Xue cried out in her heart.

"Sister-in-law Jia, soak all these beans in water," Yi Xue said.

Everyone worked together to soak a large jar of soybeans.

On the second day, the beans were all soaked and swollen. Yi Xue looked at it, and then only Niang, Sister Jia, Qiu Shui and Dong Xiang were left.

"Mother, we will have something good to eat in the future." Yi Xue looked at Mopan happily, her eyes were full of little stars.

Mrs. Zhang knew Yi Xue's ability, so she just laughed.

"Dongxiang and Qiushui, turn this millstone," Yi Xue said, pointing at the putter.

Qiushui and Dongxiang pushed hard together, but they could barely push a little, and then they lost all strength. Seeing the two blushing, Yi Xue was speechless.It seems that manpower is not enough, is it possible to lead the donkey in?
No, that would be too dirty and unhygienic. Yi Xue felt that she hadn't considered it well.Qiushui and Dongxiang had thin arms and legs, they had never done such rough work, their necks were flushed, and they felt ashamed and uncomfortable.

"Miss, it's all useless to us," Qiu Shui said nervously as she was the biggest of the girls, with fair skin and phoenix eyes, but very juicy.

Yi Xue waved her hands, thinking, "It has nothing to do with you, let's take a rest."

It's better to find two big men, Yixue has no choice but to call Tianjia and Tianbing, Tianjia needless to say, has strength, Tianbing is bigger, maybe he can be replaced.

Tianjia looked at the stone mill, rolled up his cuffs, spit on his hand, then grabbed the putter, and pushed it easily without using much strength.Yi Xue sighed, who said that women are equal, the difference in strength is too big.

"The housekeeper is still stronger," Yi Xue said with a smile.

Tianjia chuckled, "I have been doing physical labor since I was a child."

Yi Xue quickly asked Mrs. Jia to put the beans on the millstone, then poured a small amount of water, and kept sweeping the overflowing beans under the stone mill with a brush.

Soon, white milk flowed from a hole at the bottom of the stone mill and flowed into the cylinder.Looking at the white liquid, Yi Xue was so excited beyond words.

"Soymilk, I'm here," Yi Xue shouted loudly.

Everyone watched the eldest lady shouting inexplicably, but they didn't know what it was that made their eldest lady so crazy?But the white juice is really beautiful, white and tender.

"It's so good," Yi Xue said happily, "Mom, we'll drink this from now on, it's much better than coarse grain porridge, and it's the most nutritious."

Mrs. Zhang was also happy. Although she hadn't eaten it, the color looked fresh.

"Sister, what is this?" Sanya came in with her head in, followed by Erya and Xiaojun.

"This is soy milk, this is soy milk," Yi Xue repeated, making the three little guys confused.

"Mother, go quickly, go to the town to buy a few catties of sugar and come back," Yi Xue said hastily, she almost forgot the important link again.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly ordered Lao Zhangtou to buy sugar, and she stayed at the tofu shop to watch.When the jar of soy milk was full, Yi Xue asked Tianjia and the others to continue grinding, but she brought the jar of soy milk to the kitchen herself.

"Autumn water, turn on the fire," Yi Xue commanded hastily, and then filtered the soy milk with gauze, and poured the soy milk into the pot dearly.
