Chapter 87: Aunt Jiang makes tofu
At the end of October, when Xiao Man entered the Orb Space again, he couldn't find the blurry image of Lingjun, and it was really as he said: a wisp of divine consciousness can only last for a hundred days, and it will dissipate as soon as a hundred days pass!
Xiao Man inevitably felt a little sorry for himself, although he didn't know what Lingjun's character was, but he was really kind to himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
From now on, Xiao Man will be the only one in this orb space, and it will completely belong to her.
Xiao Man was running the Nine Xuan Alchemy Technique in the space, and the aura was easily absorbed by her body, and every time she finished cultivating, the feeling of improving her cultivation was very obvious.
Lingjun once said: There is a spiritual spring in the orb, which breeds spiritual energy to form an extremely favorable cultivation space, which can be described as a fairy cave, but Xiao Man should not only complete the cultivation in the space, you need to know that the ultimate goal of the monk is to change his life against the sky, as a monk must go through various circumstances to endure countless tempering, whether it is adversity or good times, you must see and be able to deal with it calmly, although the current earth continent is scarce, but not nothing, the world is big, Xiao Man can find a place that is conducive to his own cultivation on the side, and if he can find it, he will create conditions and build it himself, which is a necessary ability for monks!
Moreover, there is no end to cultivation, and the orb is the backing that Xiao Man relies on, so it should be maintained, and more energy should be stored, and there should be no idea of relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, you must know that it is not a lie to sit and eat the mountain!
The reason is very simple, Xiao Man either doesn't understand, or can't help but want to be greedy for a few times The superior cultivation environment of the space, anyway, Lingjun is gone, and he will be the director.
And she wants to find a place with a relatively more aura, and get outside to walk around, but now she doesn't have this freedom for the time being, she has to go to school during the day, and grandma is not allowed to go out when she gets home...... Fortunately, the location of this courtyard is not bad, there are not many people living on all sides, and the spiritual energy is unhindered, these days Ah Gong went to the grain station to guard the soybeans at night, Xiao Man waited for Grandma to fall asleep, and took advantage of the night to meditate in the sunning valley for an hour, and he could also absorb a lot of aura.
Tiangong is beautiful, soybeans, sesame seeds into the warehouse, it rained again, not a lot of rain for several days, as the saying goes, an autumn rain and a cold, although the south of the winter came late, but also gradually turned cold, people began to wear autumn clothes, sweaters, jackets, no autumn clothes jackets, just one by one single clothes strung to wear, Xiao Man in the school to see who wears more clothes, some even wear four or five pieces, almost all their own clothes are fully set.
Now it's like this, and when it comes to winter, if there is no cotton clothes, it is also worn like this, Xiao Man was like this in her previous life, from childhood to adulthood, Liu Fengying has never made cotton clothes for her, let alone knitted sweaters, her sweaters and cotton clothes, after the reform and opening up in the eighties, she made money by doing side jobs, and Liu Fengying bought her the cheapest stall goods!
The weather is cold and cold, the work of the production team is also less, at this time there is no other way to go, men and women are nested at home, women clean up and take care of the house, the year's needlework is collected to do, sew old clothes, make new clothes if possible, young girls and daughters-in-law gather to knit sweaters, or make shoes with soles, in short, it is a busy thing.
The men of the Gu family are not idle, repairing farm tools, tidying up the floors, stairs, yards, walls, and so on, while the restless men secretly play cards and gamble, have no money, and gamble with grain! Of course, they can only gamble a little, and they can only make small bets, and they know what the situation is in their families, and they dare to gamble too much.
There is a grandfather who lives at home normally, and grandma is also relieved, and allows Xiaoman to walk out of the courtyard gate in the morning and evening, and go to the neighboring families to have a look and play. The Zhao family has a total of four households, probably because the new move has not been in a few years, they do not enclose the courtyard wall, the two families each occupy a piece of land, are three rooms, in front of the door to dry the grain flat, and then expand out to the left and right back to dig the ground to plant vegetables and sweet potatoes and taro, a little farther away to plant fruit trees, it can be imagined, a few years later, as long as they planted the place, they will be enclosed by them, become their yard.
Xiao Man remembers that in a few years, there will be a few new families in this residential area, but they are not as wide as the first ones, and the old residents are still quite discerning and prescient.
On Sunday morning, Ah Gong asked Mo Zhishu to call, Xiao Man closed the courtyard door with him, thinking that yesterday Jiang Xuehua said that her mother was going to make tofu today, so he closed the courtyard door and ran to the neighborhood.
It's not that she hasn't seen making tofu in her previous life, but it was in the city, and now she just wants to know how to order tofu in the countryside.
Sandals are a bit cold and hard to step on on gravel roads, sandals ......
Xiao Man looked down at the red corduroy jacket on his upper body, dark green corduroy trousers underneath, and then a pair of transparent sandals under his feet, this strange outfit was also drunk.
Xiao Man originally had two pairs of rotten cloth shoes, Liu Fengying's sister threw them to her when they were worn out, and they didn't bring them out, and now they don't want them for her.
The day before yesterday, Grandma told Ah Gong that he would take Xiao Man to the commune supply and marketing cooperative, or the factory and mine supply and marketing cooperative, to buy a pair of cold shoes, but early this morning, Mo Zhishu came to ask Ah Gong, saying that he was helping to do something, and it seemed that he could not buy shoes for the time being.
Winter is coming, Xiao Man has to buy shoes and socks, Grandpa and Grandma don't have jackets, it's very uncomfortable to see them wearing three or four single clothes at a time, and Xiaoman and Grandpa don't have cotton clothes, Grandpa and Grandma's mille-feuille shoes are old, in fact, they don't keep warm...... Alas, there are a lot of places that need to spend money, and you have to find some ways to get money quickly!
Xiao Man went to Jiang Xuehua's house, it was too late, and she missed a few processes, Jiang Xuehua's mother Aunt Jiang had ordered tofu and was picking up a chopstick to try it.
I saw her hand up and down, and the bamboo chopsticks stood upright in a wooden basin of milky white tofu brain, trembling slightly, which showed that the plaster was properly beaten and solidified well.
Several children cheered and ran with bowls and spoons, asking to eat tofu brains, Aunt Jiang saw Xiaoman, and hurriedly asked Jiang Xuehua to take a bowl for her sister to eat too, and then bring half a bowl back to grandma to taste.
Xiao Man didn't refuse, said thank you, took the bowl and scooped up half a spoonful by himself and drank it, there was no sugar, Jiang Xuehua took salt and mixed it for his younger siblings, and the children of all ages ate it with relish.
The next thing is to scoop the tofu brain into the mold box covered with a white cloth, Xiao Man washed his hands and stepped forward to help, Aunt Jiang scooped the tofu brain, Xiao Man put the white cloth on all sides, covered the cover, Aunt Jiang moved a few pieces of washed green stones and pressed them on the cover plate, those stones weighed about a dozen catties, the stone was pressed up, and the wooden mold box leaked out wisps of pale yellow gypsum water like rain, Aunt Jiang used an enamel basin to catch and collect the gypsum water, saying that it could be mixed in the pig pool to feed the pigs!
It takes an hour for the stone to be pressed against the mold box to be removed, and then the tofu is ready. (To be continued.) )
