Chapter 157 A cup of fresh soy milk, keep healthy every day
Aunt Guo didn't know what we were talking about, but seeing a young man like Li Cheng take the initiative to ask for work, don't mention how rare it is.

"Oh, Chengzi is really good. Aunt Guo's family doesn't have a daughter, so if you don't say anything, you will be dragged here as a son-in-law." Aunt Guo said regretfully.

"It's okay, Aunt Guo, do you see if there are any people of the same age in our village? It's the same if you introduce one to us. People say that big girls can't stay. If you keep it, you will become enemies. In fact, this young man is also the same. You didn't see him. Didn’t you kick your child just now?” I felt that I hadn’t stimulated Chengzi enough, so I continued to work hard.

"Qu Xiaoyi, you can do it. Don't think I'm afraid of you because I don't have the same knowledge as you." Li Cheng jumped three feet high and rushed towards me with his fists raised.

"Li Chengzi, what do you want to do? You want to rebel." I looked at the furious Chengzi and continued to provoke him.

Seeing that we were doing well, Aunt Guo suddenly glared at each other. She stood at the same place and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. Jiang Zhi acted as if she hadn’t seen us fighting. What should I do? Mother Jiang laughed beside us .

"I, I, I'm going to grind, I don't have the same knowledge as you, a person with long hair but short knowledge. Huh!" Chengzi passed me with his fists raised, and rushed to the stone mill.

When Chengzi passed by me on the way, I even gave him a hand and told him to yell at me no matter how big or small.

Aunt Guo was dumbfounded by the side, why did she just glared at each other angrily, and when she was about to make a move, the effort of this sentence disappeared in smoke.

Seeing that Aunt Guo was stunned and stunned, Jiang Zhi was quite pitiful, so he explained: "Aunt Guo, don't pay attention to their siblings, they are called the 'Three Crazies', and Xiaoyi looks for opportunities to stimulate them every day. Chengzi several times, she was happy to see Chengzi furious, she said that the work is too tiring and depressing these days, and she needs to find a chance for Chengzi to release it."

Aunt Guo probably didn't understand, so she said "ohhh" twice after hearing it.

Jiang Ma finally concluded: "Sister, you don't need to worry about them, they will be fine in a while."

"Ah, okay, let's start making tofu." Aunt Guo didn't understand our advanced game, so she didn't care, as long as she didn't fight at her house.

The first step was to grind the beans. Sitting next to the stone mill, Makoto was so stimulated that he wanted to grind all the beans.

Aunt Guo saw that someone was in charge of grinding beans, so she taught us how to grind them.

First, drain the soybeans and put them in the mill, and you can’t just put soybeans in. If you want to make soybean milk, you have to add a lot of water while putting the beans in, and then turn the stone mill slowly and uniformly, so that the soybean milk will flow out. .The ratio of beans to water is 1:5.

I understand, the water here should play a lubricating role, or the stone-polished beans are too dry, and what comes out is not soy milk, but soy flour.

After Aunt Guo told us how to do it, she and Mama Jiang went to fiddle with other tools.

The three of us, Li Cheng was in charge of turning the stone mill, Jiang Zhi was in charge of adding beans and water, and I was in charge of watching the wooden barrels for receiving soy milk on the ground and supervising Cheng Zi's work.

"Do you know the structure of this mill?" I decided to take this opportunity to popularize the knowledge of stone mills to this illiterate person.

Makoto ignored me at all.

But it doesn't matter, I don't need him to talk to me, he is responsible for contributing his ears to let me show off.

"The inventor of the stone mill is Lu Ban. Do you know who Lu Ban is? I guess you don't know, Lu Ban..." I was about to introduce Lu Ban's life at length.Li Cheng stopped what he was doing and said, "Sister, I really know this carpenter, can you explain the key points."

I went up and patted Li Cheng on the head, and said, "Speak as you speak, don't stop working, you must know that high-quality soybean milk can only be produced by grinding at a uniform speed."

"Okay, okay, okay, I understand, I will definitely stop listening, if you don't want to talk, just say the key points." Li Cheng was afraid that I would stop talking, so he quickly started turning the stone again. grind.

Jiang Zhi patted him on the head again and said, "Who are you talking to, it doesn't matter whether it's big or small."

Li Cheng was sitting on the chair, his aggrieved face was wrinkled together, and he still didn't dare to stop the movement of his hands. I was so happy to see it.

"Okay, since you know Lu Ban, I will continue. The stone mill is made of two flat cylindrical stones with a certain thickness."

"I have eyes, so I can see." Chengzi murmured in a low voice after hearing what I said.

I subconsciously gave him another slap, and said, "Teacher is not allowed to speak during the lecture."

Jiang Zhi laughed beside him.

I just came to my senses and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, occupational disease, occupational disease."

Li Cheng rolled his eyes at me, and I pretended not to see it, and then said: "These two milled fans, there is another short vertical shaft in the middle of the lower fan, which is made of iron, and there is a corresponding empty sleeve in the middle of the upper fan. After the two leaves are combined, the lower leaf is fixed, and the upper leaf can rotate around the axis. There is an empty cavity on the opposite side of the two leaves, which is called the grinding chamber. When grinding, the beans flow into the grinding chamber through the grinding holes, are evenly distributed around, are ground into powder, and flow to the grinding disc from the gap.” I was talking, and I was explaining the real thing.

These are after I got the space, because there is an old stone mill in the space, I went to check it out, and now I am showing off on purpose.

After I finished speaking, I felt much more at ease, and when I had nothing to do, I started to trouble Makoto.

"Speed ​​up." "Slow, slow."

Chengzi was tortured by me for a while and wanted to go on strike. In fact, this is exactly what I want. I have wanted to use the stone mill for a long time. We have never used the big stone mill in the space, because all kinds of modernization in the space There are all kinds of machinery, but there is really no place for it to be used.

"Get up, I'll come." I pushed Chengzi away, and I sat in front of the stone mill and turned it.

Although this stone mill is not big, it still needs some strength to turn it. Just like this, I turned the stone mill, and Jiang Zhi added beans and water. After a while, my arms felt sore, and I kept repeating the same movement. It doesn't really mean much.

Chengzi was sent home by me to carry water just now. (Aunt Guo’s well still doesn’t have much water. We use a lot of water to make tofu, so I asked Chengzi to go home to carry water.) Put down the pole and shoulder pole, sit beside me, and I said: "Okay, I'm done demonstrating, I'll give it to you."

Chengzi looked at me with a bitter face, but I ignored it, and said coquettishly to Jiang Zhi: "Old Jiang, my arms are so sore."

Jiang Zhi signaled Chengzi to take over my job with his eyes. Under the threat of Jiang Zhi's eyes, Chengzi sighed, sat back on the edge of the stone mill, and started working on the donkey.

"Oh, why are you sighing at such a young age."

In this way, under my various tortures, Chengzi was aggrieved and ground 50 catties of soybeans into soy milk.

Aunt Guo was surprised to see that we finished grinding the beans so quickly.

Chengzi murmured softly, "Can you not be quick, if you continue to grind, you will be tortured crazy."

I listened to the muttering that was just enough for everyone to hear, I pretended to be stupid and laughed, and then I kicked Makoto's calf.

Aunt Guo looked at our interaction with a clear expression on her face, probably thinking that we were going 'crazy' again.

Then Aunt Guo asked us if we want to eat firm tofu or soft tofu.

I'm a little curious, is there any difference in production?

Aunt Guo explained: "To make the old tofu we often eat in the north, we must boil the soy milk first, and then filter the bean dregs. If we want to make the soft tofu in the south, we must first filter the soy milk, and then boil it. Open. The sequence is different."

Oops, I have gained a lot of experience. It turns out that there are so many things to say about making tofu.

Finally decided to make silken tofu this time, so we're going to strain it first.

Aunt Guo asked Jiang Zhi to bring out a large tank from the house, and tied a piece of cloth on the mouth of the tank.

Aunt Guo poured soybean milk freshly ground from the barrel onto the cloth, then took a semicircular wooden board, and scraped it on the cloth. The slurry flowed into the vat through the eyes of the cloth until there was no more pulp left. When the water flowed out, Aunt Guo opened the cloth again, added some clean water, and stirred it evenly from top to bottom. Filter a bucket of soy milk.

With Aunt Guo's previous demonstration, we will complete the remaining three barrels.When you do it, you will find that this is also a laborious job. Pour a bucket of soy milk on the filter cloth and turn it up and down. This is equivalent to carrying a bucket of soy milk and turning it. I can’t do this work, so in the end it’s ginger. Tomokazu completed it.

Then the third step is boiling. Aunt Guo scrubbed and washed the big pot in the kitchen several times, then filled the pot with an appropriate amount of water, and then poured the soybean milk in the vat into the big pot.

I was puzzled while watching, and Aunt Guo explained to me that when the soy milk is cooked in this way, the soy milk will float on the water, and the soy milk will not easily burn if it does not touch the bottom of the pot.

I sighed in my heart, knowledge comes from life, this is to use the principle that the density of water is higher than that of soybean milk to avoid sticking to the pot.

Then Aunt Guo began to cook the soy milk. Aunt Guo first boiled the soy milk on high heat. I saw that the soy milk had a lot of white foam in the pot. After Aunt Guo skimmed off the white foam on the top, she continued to cook. She said that the soy milk hadn't been boiled at this time, and she had to wait for three to five minutes, and then she controlled the fire, making it bigger and smaller, saying that this would remove the green taste of the beans and make the soy milk more delicious.

I can already smell the aroma of soy milk by the side of the pot.When the soy milk was out of the pot, I couldn't wait to use a few big bowls to hold a few big bowls of soy milk.

After drinking pure handmade soy milk, I said a pre-apocalyptic advertising slogan, "A cup of fresh soy milk keeps you healthy every day." This soy milk is really good, with milky white color, delicate taste and mellow taste. I decided in my heart that I will use the large stone mill in the space in the future, and drink fresh soy milk, fresh milk, and fresh goat milk every day.

I handed everyone a bowl of soy milk, and of course I didn't forget Chengzi's share. Although I love to tease Chengzi, it doesn't mean that I don't love him. When there are good things, I will still think of him.
