Chapter 155: Old Stone Mill
Zhu Renming first made transparent jelly, which requires the use of jelly seeds, when he was a child, Zhu Renming often made white jelly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, he had to prepare a lot of things, such as a cloth bag made of fine noodles; a large bowl; a pair of chopsticks; a plastic straw; An iron spoon, these things must be washed and set aside.
Then put the cloth bag with the processed cold powder seeds, soak them in mountain spring water for 10 minutes, then make some quicklime, melt them into the bowl, and wait for it to clarify and set aside.
The most important thing is to frustrate the jelly seeds, the test is patience, repeatedly rubbing the jelly seeds in the cloth bag in the mountain spring water, and a large amount of juice overflowing into the mountain spring water, until the jelly seeds no longer produce juice can be stopped.
Then pour the precipitated lime water into the cold powder water, and then you will see a magical picture, which becomes similar to the feeling of caviar, and pay attention to stirring with chopsticks when adding lime water, so that the cold powder water and lime water are fully integrated.
In order to speed up the condensation, Zhu Renming chose to put it in the refrigerator, and the cold taste will be on the next level.
Seeing the white jelly he made, Zhu Renming felt a sense of accomplishment, in fact, the production method of black jelly is similar, but the edible alkali and starch are added, and it has to be boiled for a period of time, which is relatively troublesome.
Zhu Renming put the white jelly in the refrigerator, and did not make the black jelly for the first time, it was enough to eat the white jelly today, and he had another idea.
"Just now when I was adding lime water, I thought of tofu! Do you want to try making tofu? "In the south, tofu is usually ordered with quicklime, and when he was a child, he often saw tofu at relatives' houses, so he still knows a lot about making it.
And when ordering tofu, tofu flowers are also a delicacy, and if you sell cold noodles and tofu flowers on the street vendors, they are all a series.
Therefore, he thought of making tofu by himself, but the key to making tofu is to have soybeans, as well as molds, gauze and other tools, and for a while, there are no items to make tofu on the farm, so it is not wise to do it now.
"If you use a stone mill to grind soy milk, it must be delicious, but the efficiency is not very good, is it a mechanical grind?" Zhu Renming still prefers to use stone grinding, but if you want to find this kind of stone grinding, I don't know if it is sold in the town.
I can only go to the town to see and then consider whether to adopt the traditional way of grinding soy milk or mechanized operation, in terms of power, Zhu Renming must use animal power.
Black Charcoal has eaten so much rice, how can it be done without contribution, although it is a racing horse and not an old horse, it is nothing to let it occasionally grind soy milk part-time.
If the white sugar is not pregnant, it is actually more suitable for grinding, and the endurance is stronger than that of black charcoal.
And Zhu Renming had to go to the town to pick up the package the next morning, and some electronic products and things bought online had to be taken back at one time.
He's a shopaholic, and after he's more familiar with the town's couriers, he'll pick up packages at a fixed time to avoid running back and forth.
A small piece is an hour's drive to get it, which is not in line with Zhu Renming's personality, although there is a super oil bully, the fuel money is saved, but the heart is still uncomfortable, quite a bit of obsessive-compulsive feeling, always like to solve everything at once.
Zhu Renming took out the cold powder from the refrigerator, prepared mint leaves and brown sugar water in advance, and Zhu Renming added a bowl of cold powder according to his taste.
Smelling the fresh fragrance of mint mixed with cold powder made Zhu Renming's spirit rise all of a sudden, and it was very cool to relieve the heat, and the fire of Zhu Renming's big fish and meat during this time was defeated, and the kind of ready-made cold powder he bought in the supermarket was different, and the difference in taste was huge.
Zhu Renming drank three bowls, left some to eat when he came back from the town tomorrow, and Zhu Renming went to bed after playing games at night, and drove to the town early in the morning.
When he was sleeping, he wrote down the things he should buy and do, which has become a habit, after all, it is not easy to go to the town, and he should do as much as he can, so as not to turn back, and there is not much waste of gas money, mainly the cost of time.
At about 6 o'clock in the morning, after Zhu Renming got up, he finished dealing with the affairs of the farm, was busy until more than 8 o'clock, had breakfast, drove to the town, the road was very smooth, and he arrived in the town at about 9 o'clock.
Zhu Renming didn't go to pick up the express, but went to buy daily necessities and tools to make tofu, and after all the work was done, he bought a bag of soybeans, and planned to grind this bag first.
And select some for seeding, you can sow it at night and then water it with fairy water, I believe that the quality of this batch of soybeans must be better than the one you buy now, and you can make a comparison.
In addition to buying these, the most critical stone mill Zhu Renming didn't see, and a fellow heard Zhu Renming ask about the old-fashioned stone mill, so he interjected and said: "Young man, I have a stone mill in my house, do you want to buy it?" It's very old, and I used it almost when I was a father. ”
"Fellow, if you don't mind, can you take me to your house to see the stone mill? If I can use it, I will pay for it. "The specific price, the two did not agree, they need to determine the quality of this old stone mill, if it can't be used, it's useless to buy it."
Zhu Renming walked with the fellow for about half an hour, and his car was parked in the town for people to help watch, and there were no valuables in the car, and the courier did not pick it up for this reason.
When the two came to the villager's house, the stone mill in the courtyard stood there, and the stone mill that had experienced the vicissitudes of life was particularly conspicuous, and the villager blew the dust and then cleaned it up.
Zhu Renming saw that there were still carvings on the stone grinding plate, which was extremely exquisite, which may be the reason for using it for a long time, and the wear was more serious, but it could still be used.
It is extremely difficult for this kind of utility to be preserved to this day, although I don't know how many years of history, but according to the villagers, it is at least more than fifty years old, and it may be even longer.
"Fellow, this stone mill seems to be usable, how much do you say?" Zhu Renming also doesn't know the price of the stone mill, and the new stone mill is estimated to be about five or six hundred, and how many years this kind of old object can be used is a problem.
The fellow didn't hesitate and said, "If you think it's appropriate, just give one thousand and a half." ”
"Okay, deal." Zhu Renming happily took out 1,005 to the fellow, originally the villager thought that Zhu Renming would bargain, his conservative price was about 1,000, and he thought that the young man was thin-skinned and didn't want to bargain.
The fellow is also an honest man, took a few chickens to Zhu Renming, and said: "Young man, I don't take advantage of you, you can take these old hens back, they are still chickens that lay eggs." ”
There are a lot of local chickens in the courtyard of the villagers, and Zhu Renming is loaded with ten old hens at one time.
And this kind of old hen has no price, it is a good tonic for confinement children, but if it is feeding, in order to promote milk, you can't drink old hen soup immediately, so as not to promote milk and run out of milk.
The old hen will inhibit the amount of milk, but it is really good for the body, replenishing the deficiency and replenishing the qi, so it is good to eat or raise it by yourself.
