Chapter 48: Making Tofu

Now I don't have to worry about having no place to live, after receiving the letter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the Tian couple pulled Tian Cheng and came over to reunite with big bags and small bags.

The letter said that they would not have to bring anything, but they would not listen at all.

As soon as Li Ying arrived home, she began to be busy, and the first thing she did was to grind tofu.

When the old man heard this, he raised his hands in agreement, saying that Xi'er bought a few pieces of tofu when she first rushed to the market, and the tofu she made was called a delicious one!

Later, the autumn harvest was very busy, and Xi'er didn't have time to do it.

There is no stone mill at home, so he can only go to the village mill, Zhang Qing volunteered to borrow one, and it is convenient to do it at home.

The night before, Li Ying had already soaked the soybeans, Tian Yuliang picked them up early in the morning, and now they are like fat dolls who are full of food and drink, cute and tight.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, a stone mill was pushed back with a cart, and even a full set of household belongings, wooden barrels for making tofu, box racks, covers and cradles.

"Uncle Zhang, it's great~~" Xi'er stretched out her thumbs up and gave Zhang Qing a thumbs up, which made people blush.

Tian Yuliang felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, didn't give her a grind, took off his padded jacket and said that he would come by himself, and Xi'er was responsible for feeding the beans.

Li Ying saw that their father and daughter cooperated quite tacitly, so they simply boiled hot water and washed the house.

When grinding soybeans, only six or seven beans can be fed at a time, and the soaked water is poured into the stone eye of the feeding. Then turn it evenly twice and add soybeans once.

Experienced farmer daughters-in-law generally operate with both left and right hands at the same time, but for the father and daughter of the Tian family, it is enough to be able to do this job well.

After grinding, the beans become raw soy milk with residue in wooden barrels.

Zhang Qing had already helped Li Ying hang the cross-shaped wooden "rocking frame" above the cauldron, and the square "shaking towels" boiled in hot water were tied to the four heads of the cradle.

At this time, Tian Yuliang and Li Ying, one scooped the raw soybean milk into the shaker towel with a large wooden spoon, and the other was responsible for shaking the four heads of the shaker up and down in turn, and then the snow-white soybean milk would flow into the pot through different parts of the shaker.

And the okara left in the rocking towel is the best feed for pigs, but where can Xi'er let go of such a good thing.

Explain to your mother, don't wash the bean dregs too cleanly, this is used to make moldy bean dregs, and the hot pot is delicious!

Tian Yuliang frowned when he heard this, what has this child suffered in the past half a year? How can you think of anything to eat?

Li Ying wiped away her tears directly, and saw Xi'er muttering in her heart.

It's not easy to be a foodie, and a little bean dregs can trigger a big emotional touch for parents.

"Dad, Mom, it's not what you think, I mean it, do you want to ask grandpa if the stinky tofu last time was good?" Xi'er could only turn around and ask the old man for help.

"This kid is called to live a good life, why don't you think about it? It's been more than half a year because she can live, and my body can be so good, old man. ā€

It's okay not to say it, the more Li Ying talks about it, the more tears she gets, this was originally what her daughter-in-law had to do, but it turned out to be borne by an eight-year-old child.

As soon as Xi'er saw it, she pulled the old man and ran, but before she ran, she told her mother again not to forget about it.

At this time, it is better to say less, the more you talk about the mother, the more guilty she feels, give them a little time, and wait for the emotions to calm down.

Of course, the tofu scum must have stayed, Xi'er sneaked in and took a look, and her parents began to talk and laugh again.

It seems that the daughter-in-law of which family is lazy to make tofu, and the shake towel is not tied tightly, but all the bean dregs fall into the pot, and the stove is on fire, and the hot soybean milk splashes the daughter-in-law's body, and she screams hotly.

"Stinky girl, when you see your mother crying, you turn around and run, do you have a conscience? Hurry up and drink soy milk. Li Ying glanced at Xi'er, but began to take a spoonful of soy milk in her hand, and added two spoonfuls of sugar.

"Wow~~ It's so fragrant and mellow! There is also a smell of mother, hehehe~~" Li Ying couldn't cry or laugh, and she still smelled of her mother!

He shouted nonsense on his lips, but his heart was beautiful.

"I'll call my brother and Zhang Yi, soy milk is the best to drink at this time." After a few large sips, he ran out.

provoked Li Ying to sigh again: "Is this girl extroverted?" If there is anything delicious and delicious, I don't forget the Zhang family. ā€

Tian Yuliang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it next to him, "You're too sensitive, aren't you?" Could it be that our kid is not called Zhang Yi? ā€

"How's that going to work? Zhang Qing has helped his father and Xi'er so much, and he can't forget his roots. ā€

"Isn't that it, what the are you?" Tian Yuliang didn't understand.

Alas~~ A man's mind is different from a woman's mind, and Li Ying doesn't understand what she's going on, but when she thinks about it, her daughter grows up year by year, and she doesn't watch it by her side, so she feels uncomfortable.

"Hey~ Let's find an opportunity to talk to the old man, take a good look at this Zhang family father and son, and it's good to cultivate a childhood sweetheart." Li Ying suddenly thought about it, and immediately pulled Tian Yuliang to mutter.

"I said you really have nothing to do, your daughter is only nine years old during the Chinese New Year, and you start to worry about getting married?"

Li Ying was just about to open her mouth to refute, but Tian Cheng and Zhang Yi had already walked to the door, quickly swallowed the words that came to their mouths, and hurriedly served them soy milk.

Wait for the soy milk to boil in the pot, scoop it into the large wooden barrel, and then start to "point the brine" with gypsum.

As the gypsum water is slowly poured into the soybean milk bucket, stir with a spatula while pouring, and watch the soy milk condense little by little.

Scoop some into a bowl for a bowl of delicious tofu flowers, and if you add a little honey or raisins, the peanuts are simply delicious.

Xi'er smiled at Gu Liya definitely looking for taste, and she would pick the time.

She held the tofu flower bowl and smiled, holding back in her heart, I won't tell you that I saw Zhang Qing borrowing stone mills and tools in the village!

Finally, it is to press the tofu, spread the cleaned shaker towel in the wooden tofu box rack, scoop the tofu flower into the box rack, and then pull up the four corners of the shaker towel to cover it, add the cover plate, and then press it with a forty or fifty pound stone grinding fan.

After an hour, the tofu is ready!

Remove the stone mill, take out the pressure plate, open the rocking towel, and the snow-white tofu appears in everyone's sight slowly.

Finally, it was flipped over with the cover, carefully lifted the box rack, and removed the scarf, and the original groove protruded from the tofu, becoming a convex ridge.

Use a knife to cut the tofu into sixty-four pieces along the ridges, and the hot tofu is ready to eat.

Xi'er's family is very grand this New Year, Li Ying made three plates of tofu, the tofu that the old man likes to eat, the pickled tofu used for the New Year, and the dried braised tofu, Li Ying said that he will do everything!

There is a board in the middle to give away, and the stone mill of the borrower always has to send a few pieces, and the secretary of the brigade, the accountant and the captain's family also prepare some, and the rest is just over the New Year.
