Li Xiuying had nowhere to go, so after taking pine nuts from Dong's house on the fourth day, she didn't go out of the house for two days, until the sixth day when there was no rice at home, Li Xiuying ate porridge for three days, and it was a porridge every day, and she didn't wait for Dong Hao to buy a stone mill, and Li Xiuying couldn't wait any longer, so she got up in the morning and cleaned up and went out of the house.

She wanted to buy some rice and soybeans for making tofu today, but she couldn't buy the tools she used, so she thought she would have to go to the carpenter and ask someone to make a mold for making tofu.

Plan what to do today, Li Xiuying locked the door and went to the street, the last handful of rice at home in the morning let her cook porridge, when passing by the street, I saw that there were fritters and soy milk for sale, Li Xiuying was not willing to buy, when I went out, I originally wanted to inquire with the two old people in the same courtyard where there was carpentry, but the old couple went out early to sweep the street, Li Xiuying could only come out to inquire outside, and after inquiring a few families, I knew that there were many carpenters on the West Street, Li Xiuying went over there, and inquired while straight, and found the carpenter's house before noon, and said the intention, the carpenter did not hesitate, and the mold for making tofu was a few wooden boxesThe wooden board covered by the top layer is alive and can be taken down flexibly, and the wooden board frame on the four sides is also alive, but the groove can be hung together between the wooden board and the wooden board, so that it is combined into a square wooden frame, and then as long as the gauze is spread inside, and then the cooked soybean milk is poured into it, and the brine is pointed, and the tofu is baked.

Li Xiuying didn't wait long, after all, this thing is also simple, at lunchtime, the carpenter typed out the things, the materials and work cost ten yuan, the wages only received one dollar, and the wood cost nine yuan, Li Xiuying thanked the things and walked to the residence.

In the summer, Li Xiuying was wearing long-sleeved clothes, and she was still resisting these woods, and when she arrived at the residence, her forehead was full of sweat, and the clothes on her body were also wet, Li Xiuying neatly put things in the kitchen, pressed the water out of the yard, twisted the handkerchief and wiped her body simply, so that there was no smell of sweat, and ate up the remaining porridge in the pot, and then locked the door and went out again.

Thinking of the advice of the landlord Aunt Wang, Li Xiuying first went to the street to buy a bucket and came back, and the iron bucket above her knees cost five yuan a piece, Li Xiuying went directly to the grain store when she walked home with the bucket, she only bought five catties of big ballast, two cents a catty, five catties cost a dollar, soybeans two cents and two cents a catty, thinking that tofu should be made every day, Li Xiuying bought ten catties in one breath, and carried soybeans directly with a bucket, and the big ballast in a small bag was on it。

If you count the money in your pocket, you will have forty-one and five cents left this time.

It's a little more than what she has left in her budget, but if she really gets admitted to the night university, she will have to pay tuition at that time, and the school will start in July, and there is still a month to go to it, Li Xiuying feels that it is safer to earn more money before going to school.

When she got home, Li Xiuying packed everything into parts, and finally her eyes fell on the stove with a large pot in the mouth, the big stove is connected to the kang in the house, and she can cook while burning the kang in winter, but now she finds that she still lacks a big pot, although she can't use it in summer, but she needs to use it when making tofu and cooking soy milk, and now a big pot costs at least fifteen yuan, which can be worth half a month's salary of other people's families.

This is something that can't be saved, and when I saw the electric wok I bought, I regretted that I didn't make a good budget for a while, otherwise the money for this electric wok would have been saved.

Now the things to make tofu are just a big pot and a stone mill, Li Xiuying tossed until the afternoon, thinking that tomorrow she would go to Dong's house to send the smashed pine nuts over, and then ask Dong Hao how she inquired, if she didn't inquire, she had to find a way by herself, and she couldn't drag it out any longer.

As a result, Dong Hao came in the evening, and directly called two people to pull things into the yard with a human-powered tricycle, Dong Hao beckoned someone to move things into the house, and asked Li Xiuying where to put them, and there was no place in the kitchen, so Li Xiuying asked people to move the stone mill to the house and put it on the table.

The stone mill of bluestone looks a little old, and the grinding disc is more than nine inches, and the size is just right.

After the stone mill was put away, Dong Hao waved his hand and let people go, while asking Li Xiuying, "How is it? ”

Li Xiuying touched her hand up and down on the stone mill, and nodded with satisfaction, "I'll give you the money to hire people, but where did you find this stone mill? Why didn't you spend a penny?"

"A friend's family, his father was a rag harvester, and he collected it from the countryside in the early years, and he couldn't sell it, so he piled it up in the yard of the house, and I just said that I was looking for a stone mill, so he gave it to me. Dong Hao was very careful, "Forget the two cents, when you move to a new house, I will follow the gift, if you are really embarrassed, when the tofu is made, just pick up two pieces for me." ”

Li Xiuying smiled, "You're so powerful, aren't you just two pieces of tofu? It's even ten pieces." ”

A pound of soybeans can make twelve to fourteen pieces of tofu, and soybeans are only two cents and two cents a pound.

Being praised by others made Dong Hao very excited to look at it, "What are you missing?"

"It's almost there, I'll just go buy a cauldron tomorrow." "The biggest thing is solved, and the other things are still things for Lee so-young.

"Then don't buy it, I still have an idle pot at home, I'll help you get it tomorrow, you can borrow it, and you don't have to return it one day, that thing won't be bad." Dong Hao waved his hand, not caring.

Li Xiuying said with a smile, "How can I borrow something for cooking, or I'll buy one tomorrow." ”

It is impossible to say that Li Xiuying is not moved, but she has already asked for a stone mill in vain, where is she embarrassed to borrow someone else's pot again, Li Xiuying still knows how to be satisfied.

"What's wrong with the cooking? I said you're just too polite, and tomorrow I'll tell my mom, and my mom agrees, but she's praising you in front of me every day." Dong Hao sat on the kang wantonly, casually as if he was in his own home.

Li Xiuying smiled, "That's why you don't do things well every day, so you will be compared with me." ”

Dong Hao pursed his lips disapprenosingly, and sat up straight the next moment, "By the way, I almost forgot something, Xiao Gao in that compound went to my house, saying that if I saw you, I asked me to bring you a letter, saying that I would let you take the time to go back to the compound." ”
