Chapter 30 Farmhouse Lazy Tofu

Wang Yong followed in the footsteps of Zhang Chunxiang to a cucumber field, where a group of temporarily hired villagers were busy hoeing, building shelves, watering, and topdressing.

While greeting uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in these villages, Wang Yong dragged Zhang Chunxiang, who was blushing like a monkey's buttocks, towards the orchard.

The reason why Zhang Chunxiang is like this is because he really took the shit luck, met a woman with solid eyes, and made people's stomachs bigger not long after graduation, and his famous old man at that time was really helpless, so he married his baby girl to him, a poor boy from the countryside.

However, every time they meet, they will not give him a good face at all, just because Weng and his son-in-law are like enemies as soon as they meet, so Lin Qiuye will follow her husband to obey and graduate and be assigned to Zhang Chunxiang's hometown Gangcheng, instead of listening to the old man's arrangement to stay in the capital.

This matter was secretly told to Wang Yong by Lin Qiuye, and it must not be wrong. At the time, this definitely fell under the category of hooliganism. You must know that at that time, the crackdown had just ended, and if the old man called the police ruthlessly, Comrade Lao Zhang would probably have to be dragged to shoot the target.

"Uncle Zhang, I recently saw a new model of agricultural production, I think it is quite promising, and I want to give it a try."

Wang Yong's words relieved Zhang Chunxiang from his embarrassment, and as soon as he got down to business, he immediately became serious.

"In what way?"

"It is said in the book, a comprehensive model of breeding and planting. The farmed animal manure can be converted into biogas to generate electricity using a biogas digester, which can be used for cooking, and then the biogas liquid and waste residue can be used to fertilize the fields. ”

"Oh, it's called ecological farming! But our land is too small, I'm afraid it's not easy to get it. ”

Wang Yong understood what Zhang Chunxiang meant, just these ten acres of land, the cost is evenly shared, I'm afraid it's not young and old! This thing is not something that a small peasant economy can afford.

"Let's try it first, and I'll ask my dad to talk to the village and contract the hundreds of acres of land around us, which should be almost easy to run."

"Where does the money come from? That's a lot of money! Your dad just paid off the loan, so you won't let your dad go to the bank for a loan, right? I guess your dad will do it to death! How about a bet between the two of us? ”

Looking at Comrade Zhang's eager look, Wang Yong glanced at him speechlessly. I'm not stupid for such an obvious thing! The old man is now a little rich, and he is very satisfied with his income of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year!

"Hey, buy a small amount of chickens and ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep also buy a few less, the most important thing is to dig a fish pond, I am ready to try aquaculture, to give the villagers a new way to get rich."

Wang Yong looked compassionate and looked up at the sky. Zhang Chunxiang, who was watching, pouted his lips and stuck out his tongue, did he know that Wang Yong, this kid was not so diligent, besides, who didn't know that this kid likes to eat fish and is a little closer to him?

"Come on, you just say you want to satisfy your appetite! It's a good thing to say, and I tried aquaculture, as if you were great. ”

"You man! Ay! I kind of know why your father-in-law doesn't like you. With your mouth, I'm your young boss! Are there any employees who talk to their bosses like that? If you don't put yourself in the right position, your future is worrying! ”

"Roll the calves!"

Wang Yong shook his head and watched helplessly as Zhang Chunxiang, who had the strong self-esteem and pride of traditional knowledge knowledge, slowly walked away with his head held high. It wasn't until he couldn't see him anymore that he withdrew his gaze, shook his head and didn't say a word.

In fact, the so-called ecological agriculture model is what he has planned for a long time. This thing is introduced in the primary school textbook, vegetable planting, livestock breeding, and agricultural sightseeing tours that will be involved in the future, that is, farm stays, which have already been planned in his mind.

It's just that the time has not been ripe before, and he has never talked about it with anyone. Today, I told Zhang Chunxiang about the opportunity, and it was obvious that he had already been recognized. Then it should be no problem for him to convince his father, who has a very strong sense of small farming.

After getting the result that he was satisfied with, Wang Yong had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he jumped out of the farm with a lot of bumps, ready to go home for dinner. But not long after leaving the farm, there was a casual discovery, which made it stop immediately.

On the ground, on the ridge, by the ditch...... The clusters of bitter hemp with wide leaves were eye-catching, and Wang Yong, who was looking at it, suddenly felt that the saliva secretion in his mouth began to speed up.

This thing is one of the most popular wild vegetables in the northern city in later generations, and the bitter and refreshing bitter hemp cabbage is dipped in the sauce to eat, which has the effect of clearing heat and defeating fire, detoxification and so on.

This thing is called differently in different places, for example, it is called bitter vegetables in many places. There is also an old revolutionary movie called "Bitter Cauliflower", which is actually bitter hemp cabbage. Other names include coriander, gama, coriander, and so on.

This is a non-toxic annual herbaceous wild plant with both medicinal and edible use, the name of the medicine is "Lost Sauce Grass", also called Girl Flower, Deer Intestine Horse Grass.

This thing is generally the best when it grows out in spring and is still very tender, and it is directly washed and dipped in home-made bean paste, which not only tastes good, but also has a very good effect on health food therapy.

But now it's May, and the bitter hemp has blossomed and set seeds, and the dipping sauce is not very good to eat raw, nothing else, the taste is too bitter! It's definitely not much worse than if you eat bitter gourd and don't copy water.

But the wisdom of the working people is truly limitless!

Although this kind of grown and aged bitter hemp is not suitable for dipping sauce and eaten raw, it is the best adjunct for making lazy tofu, and the flavor is more unique than other lazy tofu made with cabbage or something.

Speaking of lazy tofu, this is a major invention and creation of the Chinese working people! Or someone said, the biggest motivation for many world-changing inventions is because of human laziness.

If you don't have the skills at home, the tofu you make can't even be eaten, you can only throw it away in vain, and you can't even feed the livestock (too much brine will be old, and if you have more, it will be bitter, and it will be poisonous).

So some predecessors who like to be lazy have invented a simple way to eat, that is, lazy tofu. Compared to ordinary tofu, there is no comparison between the method and the Kenben, it is too simple.

First of all, the soybeans should be soaked on the first night, and when making lazy tofu the next day, the soaked soybeans should be directly rounded, and the plump soybeans should be fished out of the water, put them on the stone mill, add water and grind them into a pulp.

The rest is simple, put oil, chopped green onions, and peppercorns in the pot and stir-fry fragrant, and then directly put the thick soybean milk and blanched bitter hemp vegetables into the pot to stew, and it doesn't take ten minutes, and a pot of delicious and nutritious lazy tofu will be freshly baked.

The lazy tofu made by this method is the most delicious, not only has the strong bean flavor of the beans, but also the fresh flavor of fresh wild vegetables and the bitterness of talking, put a chopstick in the mouth, it feels very different, compared to tofu, it is another delicious.

Because it is crushed with a stone mill, it is not as crushed as a machine, so you can feel the fine bean particles in your mouth, which is slightly rough. But eating it with bitter hemp vegetables has a different flavor.

Later, many people did not have that kind of small stone mill, and when making lazy tofu, they used machines to grind the bean noodles, which was much worse in terms of texture and taste.

In addition to bitter hemp cabbage, lazy tofu can also be used with cabbage, and some people even use sun-dried cabbage, which also has a unique flavor. Some people who like to eat sour will also add sauerkraut, the taste is even more special, such a lazy tofu in the new century after the rise of farmhouses, in the restaurant can be sold for dozens of yuan!

Due to a light rain yesterday and the land was very wet, Wang Yong was able to easily reach out and pull up the bitter hemp with fat leaves, and it didn't take long for him to pull out a big hug, which was enough for their family to eat two or three meals of lazy tofu.

Of course, now there is no refrigerator at home to keep it fresh, and these can't be eaten in one meal, and the rest can only be stored for a day at most, and then they will dry up or rot and be inedible.

But no one can eat this thing three times a day, to be honest, it's okay to eat it once in a while, at least let Wang Yong eat two meals in a row, he will definitely pout.

Holding a big hug of bitter hemp cabbage, Wang Yong rushed home, shouting to eat lazy tofu before he entered the house. When Tian Xiuhua saw the pile of bitter hemp vegetables thrown by his eldest son on the ground, he immediately came to his senses, and he was more active than Wang Yong to find soybeans and prepare to soak them.

If you want to say that among the family, it is still my mother who likes lazy tofu the most, followed by my younger brother Wang Liang, then my father Wang Hai, and finally Wang Yong's turn.

Therefore, the eldest son picked so many bitter hemp vegetables and came back, and he knew what he should do without asking her. Soak soybeans, clean and select the weeds and debris in the bitter hemp cabbage, and Tian Xiuhua moved out of the family heirloom - a pair of small stone mills.

This small stone mill with a diameter of only more than 20 centimeters, and the two fans together are also about ten centimeters, and it is said that it has been passed down for two generations in the Wang family.

If it hadn't been used less, I'm afraid the two fan stone mills would have been smoothed out long ago! Even so, now the two stone mills are no longer what they used to be, and the ravines above have become much shallower.

Seeing that his mother was more excited than himself, Wang Yong was very speechless. No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for the soybeans to soak well, right? You can't just start grinding it as soon as you soak it, right?

At the lunch table, my mother couldn't help it, and loudly announced that she would eat lazy tofu at night. The younger brother Wang Liang was the first to raise his hands in support.

"Good! Mom, I'll help you grind! ”

It's rare that this bastard boy still has the time to take the initiative to ask for work. It seems that lazy tofu's gravitational pull on him is really not small, which greatly exceeds Wang Yong's previous estimate.

As a result, for an afternoon, the two of them didn't do anything, just stared at the soybeans soaked in the water. In the end, I couldn't help it, and before it was dark, I took a small spoon and scooped up five or six soybeans and began to grind them.

At half past six, as soon as it was dark, Wang Yong was still playing with his noble group of friends at the third aunt's house to catch black guns, and he was called home for dinner by his mother's loud voice.

A pot of white rice on the dinner table, a large pot of lazy tofu, and a plate of salty white potato gnocchi cut into thin strips can be said to be a rare meal at home for more than half a year without a little meat, which undoubtedly made Wang Yong, who was not happy without meat, suddenly feel like crying without tears.
