take a wife to support the family

Chapter 76

The little doll is immature, Xing'er pushed the soy milk for a while and quit, and wanted to help scoop the soybeans, she thought this was more interesting.

Lily took the millstone and asked Li Caifeng and Xing'er to scoop the beans for her. Xing'er worked very hard and did not hold back.

It took more than an hour for the soy milk to be finished. There were three big pots, and the color was between milky white and light yellow.

Lily had cleaned the big iron pan on the stove long ago. She and Li Caifeng spread double layers of gauze on the pan, and poured soybean milk on top with a wooden spoon. The bean dregs remained on the gauze, and the pure soybean milk flowed into the pot.

Xing'er stood on tiptoe and stared intently at the stove. She was too short to be involved in this job, and she felt anxious.In a hurry, she ran to find her father.

Liu Yi was digging in the cellar he had chosen, and had already dug down to a person's depth, when suddenly his daughter ran up, calling "Father", fearing that her daughter would stumble and fall, he jumped out with his hands on the ground, and ran in two or three steps In the past, he took his daughter into his arms: "Xing'er, why are you here?"

Xing'er loves beauty, and always thinks that her father's clothes are easy to be soiled by digging the soil, so Liu Yi must wash herself clean before she is willing to get close.At this moment, Xing'er didn't feel dirty anymore, she hugged Liu Yi's head with her two small hands, and whispered in his ear.

After finishing speaking, Xing'er looked at her father with two clear eyes: "Father, are you right?"

Liu Yi was dumbfounded: "Xing'er, father can do everything, but he can't make you grow taller all at once..."

What's the matter with the daughter suddenly coming to ask for the secret recipe to grow taller?What did the daughter-in-law tell her?

As soon as Xing'er heard that there was no secret recipe, she struggled and was about to go down to the ground. Liu Yi saw that the ground was full of mud, carried her to the side for a while, and put her down when she reached a clean place, saying: "Go and play!"

Xing'er turned her head: "It doesn't matter if I don't grow tall, Dad, you give me a brother and tell him to play against me!"

When she saw that many little girls in the village were able to ride on her brother's shoulders to show off their power, she was very envious.Her father's shoulders are more stable, each of them is taller, and he rides more majesticly, but father is father, brother is brother.

If there is a brother supporting her, she can reach the stove!
Liu Yi was neither crying nor laughing, and he was dumbfounded for a while before he said: "This matter, it doesn't matter what dad said, you go ask your mother."

Xing'er thought that her mother was in charge of many things in the family, and probably this matter was also the case, so she jumped to find her mother again.

Here Li Caifeng was cooking soybean milk with Lily, skimming off the foam from the top of the soybean milk, when suddenly her daughter rushed in and hugged her waist, shouting: "Mother, father told me to tell you, give me a brother!"

Her father asked her to come to her mother to discuss it, Xing'er thought, if her mother didn't agree, she would lose money, so she might as well say that her father would let her mother have one, so that her mother would have to give birth to one.

Li Caifeng and Baihe looked at each other and were silent for a while, then suddenly Lily burst out laughing, pointing at Li Caifeng and bursting into tears, she had to lean on the stove to breathe.

Li Caifeng managed to coax her little ancestor to pay attention to other things. When she came back, she saw that the soy milk was almost cooked, and it was time to order some soy milk.

To make tofu, you should order it with gypsum water. The side dish tofu does not use gypsum brine, but only water.

Pour enough water into the soy milk four or five times slowly, and the soy milk will quickly condense into pieces of bean curd, which will break when touched.At this time, pour the semi-solidified bean curd into another square plate as soon as possible, and there are several layers of gauze on the plate.

Then drain the water by squeezing, the square plate is good for fixing the shape, press a wooden board on top of the gauze, continue to control the water outside, and the tofu will slowly form.

Cut the cooked tofu into small pieces with a knife, return the extruded slurry to the pot, wash a bowl of rice, pour it in and cook together, until the rice is cooked, the color of the slurry in the pot turns white, then pour the tofu cubes in together Cooked, vegetable tofu will be done.

The tofu made with slurry water is sour and fragrant, clears heat and relieves heat, and has a sweet aftertaste, unlike the tofu made with gypsum, which is bitter and astringent.

The bean curd dipped in chive flower sauce was terribly fragrant. Several men who had worked under the sun for a day each had a large bowl of bean curd, and they all snorted and ate very sweetly.

The filtered bean dregs are not wasted. Mix some flour, beat two eggs in, adjust some salt, knead into palm-sized pancakes, brush a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pan, fry until both sides are browned, and the pieces are crispy. Okara cake.

The bean dregs cake is delicious and crispy, and it is full of dregs when you bite it down. It is so fragrant that people are reluctant to let go, so they have to hold it in their hands and eat it slowly.Eating two bean dregs cakes and drinking a bowl of vegetable tofu is a comfort!
Lily also made the dish vegetarian, and went to Song Dagui to buy some stewed pork back. Who knew that this group of people ate up the vegetable tofu and the fresh courgette mixed in the stewed pork, and the meat did not move.

It was Xing'er who didn't work and ate the most meat, with a round belly, and refused to walk on her own when she came home, so she insisted that Liu Yi carry her on her back.

Li Caifeng wanted to teach her daughter not to be presumptuous, so she saw Liu Yi picked up Xing'er and put it on her shoulder: "Let's go, go home!"

One hero and three gangs, with many people and great strength, the brothers spent more than ten days repairing the cellar, which was exactly what Song Haonian planned.

After that, Song Haonian and Baihe slowly repaired the walls, doors and windows, reinforced the ground, and took many measures to prevent rats and snakes.

After the cellar was repaired, Lily took out the money to buy food.This kind of grain can't be bought casually, and people who don't know each other can't buy it.

It's not good for acquaintances to buy from a certain family, and other brothers think it's unfair. If this family buys too much food, and their family has no food when they are young, it is a sin.

Therefore, Liuyi and other families with a lot of food, Lily bought about one stone from each of them, and bought two stones from the farm through Aunt Sheng, and pulled it with a wooden cart, and stored it in the warehouse one after another.

There are two large wooden cabinets in the warehouse on the upper floor of the cellar. The cabinets are divided into three or four compartments with wooden boards. Now one of the cabinets is full.

The wheat grown in different fields is different, some are whiter, suitable for grinding flour, and some are thicker and darker, which is also suitable for making wheat rice, and separate them according to different origins, so that there will be no confusion.

Lily did not forget to put pepper bags in the corner of the wooden cabinet to avoid silverfish.

People in the countryside can only feel at ease when they have food at home. Song Haonian used to eat enough for himself and the whole family was not hungry. At most, there was food in the house for a month. Outsiders watched him carefree and unrestrained. .

Now that he has a home, it is a place of peace of mind, but it is also a burden to some extent. He has worried more than once about what to do with Lily if he goes out.

Fortunately, this daughter-in-law can do a lot, and before he finishes his worries, he has already earned enough money to support his family, planned a warehouse, and bought enough food for next year.

Song Haonian looked at the full cabinet, his heart settled down, and his confidence was born spontaneously.He is no longer a libertine who asked his parents to kick him out of the house, but a man who has his own home and can live a prosperous life.

The lower part of the cellar is still empty. After a few days, the melons and vegetables can be stored one after another until the spring of next year.

The grain cabinet above was still empty, waiting to be filled with rice grains, but it was not yet time.

Lily called the matter of cooking tofu that day aroused new ideas, bought a few liters of soybeans, and sent them to people in the town who could make tofu to make tofu, and got a lot of tofu.

Fresh bean curd is seasoned with salt, fried soybeans, pepper, autumn oil, etc., and it can be eaten with steamed buns or steamed buns for breakfast.After splashing in the well, sprinkle some sugar on it, it is sweet and delicious, and a bowl in the afternoon is refreshing.

After the season of wild strawberries is over, Lily makes a fortune from sweet bean curd, thanks to the fact that people in this place accept both tastes, both sweet and salty.

The old tofu slices are deep-fried until golden, and they are threaded with sticks. Just sprinkle two grains of salt and it will be very fragrant. I have to pester adults to buy a bunch.

If adults are unwilling to spend the money, they have their own way, or roll around in the ground and cry loudly, calling adults to obey;

The latter kind, the taste has not yet been chewed clearly, the tofu has already been eaten, and the gluttony is getting more and more panicked. It is the same as the former one that I have to find an adult to cry and pester, and use the money to buy a whole bunch of fried tofu. contented.

Fried tofu can be stored for a long time, even lily is not afraid of moldy, she can also make stinky tofu.

But tofu is selling fast, this thing is not like the raspberries and wild strawberries she sold before, they are all sweet, tofu and bean curd are all salty, some people like to eat salty, and they don’t touch sweet ones, Lily sells salty Snacks are sold to their hearts.

In addition, she has all the things that are easy to mildew and are not afraid of water vapor in the well. In this season, the well water is cold and frightening, and the tofu is hanging in the well with ropes, and it can be sold within a few days. Neither will be bad.

No matter how good the bean curd and tofu are, they still can’t fill their stomachs properly. Some people have to go elsewhere to buy steamed buns to go with it. Someone asked Lily why she didn’t sell some steamed buns.

Lily herself had gained a lot of money, and there was someone making steamed buns in the town, and she wanted to get involved, because she was afraid that someone would poke her spine and scold her, so she refused to reach out.

The man who sells steamed buns and steamed buns also knows how powerful Lily is. Seeing that she is willing to save a life for himself, and because of her bean curd and tofu, more people eat buns along with it, and the business is even better. When they see Lily every day, they all smile. Every day, I would give some of the leftover steamed buns to Lily and ask her to take them home to eat.

After eating hot steamed buns for a few days in the morning, Song Haonian quit: "This steamed stuffed bun is not as delicious as Liu Yisao's."

"It's good to eat something!" Lily laughed, it was given away for free, so why are you so picky?
But the buns are really not very delicious, nor good-looking enough, if Li Caifeng is willing to open a bun shop, her unique skill will definitely attract customers like clouds, Lily thought while biting the stuffing of the buns.
