Chapter 38

After a day's rest, Gu Xi took out the brine brought back from the salt lake, and the tofu making was put on the agenda.

Huo Bai didn't go out hunting, he wanted to help Gu Xi make tofu, the task was to crush some of the soybeans, Gu Xi wanted to do a stone mill, but he didn't understand the shaft in the middle of the graphite, and he thought that the stone mill was really useless to make now, first, the number of soybeans was not so much, and now he used the soybeans allocated by himself to make real soybeans, and secondly, there were no other ingredients that needed stone grinding to do, this was not in a hurry, it was better to wait until next year to do it with Uncle Jiang, and it was very easy for orcs to crush soybeans directly.

Gu Xi got up early in the morning, found a small stone pot and poured the salt water brought back, built a small stove in the yard and began to boil, he used to watch TV when he saw that it had to be boiled for several hours before it began to crystallize, and some salt making in ancient times was made in this way, so while taking care of the yard with Huo Bai, he looked at the pot, and it was almost evening, Gu Xi got the salt brine out, and carefully poured the salt brine into the stone altar, the salt brine is corrosive and poisonous, all of which must be done with extra care.

The process of making tofu is also what Gu Xi watched TV before, and he remembered a rough idea. Soybeans have been soaked in water overnight, you can directly start to make zuò, Huo Bai directly used two stones to crush each other, soybeans were crushed out of soybean milk, soybeans added water, this repeatedly, under full rolling, you get raw soybean milk. Great strength is good work, faster than stone grinding and trouble-free, Gu Xi cut a piece of linen obtained by the fox clan for filtration, wrapped the soybean milk with linen cloth and squeezed, you can filter out the bean dregs, the remaining raw soybean milk is poured into the pot to boil, after boiling, scoop off the foam, and then point in the salt brine and stir, Gu Xi didn't dare to put more, only ordered a little, looked at the stone pot nervously, and after ten minutes, he saw that the soybean milk began to form tofu flowers.

Everyone who came to watch saw this magical moment, the milky white juice slowly solidified, Gu Xi was very excited, he didn't expect to succeed in making zuò for the first time!

Put the boiled bean curd into a wooden frame covered with linen, the wooden frame is square, it is specially made by Uncle Jiang for making tofu, all the bean curd is put in, cover it with a rag, and the excess water will seep out, plus the wooden cover, if it is to make dried tofu, it is necessary to squeeze out the water with a heavy object.

Everyone waited together for a while, Gu Xi poked the tofu, and felt that it was almost finalized, so he couldn't wait to open the lid, some yellowed tofu, which didn't look good, but it was already formed, steaming, and the smell of tofu wafted out.

"It's done!" Gu Xi was pleasantly surprised, he directly scooped a small piece with a spoon and put it in his mouth, because it is tofu marinated with salt, the tofu tastes relatively old, but it is still delicious, cut some green onions at night, pour a little soy sauce, cut some pickles, it is shallots mixed with tofu! You can imagine what mapo tofu and dried tofu will be in the future...... It's not a problem anymore!

The tofu residue left over from grinding soybean milk is not wasted, many places will not waste tofu residue, it tastes good and has a special taste, Gu Xi chopped the pickle stalks, prepared a large amount of minced garlic and chili peppers, put oil and chili garlic in the pot and stir-fried, put the pickles into the stir-fry, then pour in the tofu residue and stir-fry, and finally sprinkle it like green onions, you can eat, because the pickles are very salty, so other condiments do not need to be put again, this kind of fried tofu slag, if there is porridge, it is a good side dish to eat with porridge.

So that night, the shallots mixed with tofu, minced garlic and tofu residue were on the table, and they didn't do much, but a few people had a little bit to try, and when they waited until next year, they could eat enough, but the orcs didn't like to eat tofu very much, and most of the ones they liked to eat were sub-beasts, and they didn't like to eat this kind of beany smell, and Tong Qi didn't like to eat it.

The next day, the old rules, the square of the Tiger Clan, the people of the Tiger Clan gathered together again, Gu Xi showed everyone the method of making tofu zuò, the people of the Tiger Clan learned very seriously, for them, it was Gu Xi who brought them more food, and their lives would be so good, they cherished the Qiē that Gu Xi taught them very much, in private, the clansmen thought that Gu Xi was like the patron saint of the tribe, and they respected him very much.

There is another very important thing today, that is, Wei Shan and Sanjie's cub has been born, Sanjay said at the beginning, I hope that Gu Xi will name the cub, their child is a little sub-beast, inherited the appearance of his mother's father, has a small brown curly hair, eyes inherited his father, small, smiled and narrowed into a line, because the current food is very good, the little sub-beast raised fat.

The little Asian beast wearing a sackcloth cloth pocket was lying in Sanjay's arms, with his fleshy fingers in his mouth, his little eyes were round and smooth, he had just been full moon, and he had never seen Gu Xi before, staring at Gu Xi curiously, Sanjay kindly wanted to hug the little Asian beast to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was holding the soft little doll, her whole body was stiff, what if the strength was not good and it was broken? The baby was so soft that he didn't even dare to hold it. He had already thought of a name for the little cub: "Let's call it Wei Le, I hope he will be happy for the rest of his life." "It's not a particularly complicated name, it's simple, but it already contains his blessing, originally he struggled for a long time and didn't decide what to choose, or Huo Bai told him, Sanjay wanted his child to be blessed.

"Xiao Lele~" Gu Xi called the little thing in his arms, Xiao Lele seemed to know that this person was calling himself, and laughed, but his arms did not relax at all, a creature like a baby must be from an alien.

Sanjay smiled and took Xiao Lele over, Xiao Lele still smiled, always looking very happy, Mo Mo, the little sub-beast of the Mo Ken family, could already walk, he stood at Sanjay's feet, looking up at Xiao Lele, children are always very curious when they look at children, there are no other little sub-beasts in the tribe, and soon, he will have friends to play with.

"Xiaoxi, you always have to get used to it" Song Xuan patted Gu Xi's shoulder as if he had come over.

Gu Xi could only look at Huo Bai with a weak heart, no matter how adaptable he was, he didn't have a baby...... Huo Bai hugged Gu Xi's shoulders and said that he understood Gu Xi's thoughts very well, the two of them didn't force it, just let it be, as long as the two of them lived a good life.

So today the tribe ate another tofu meal, and the spicy tofu made the orcs want to stop.

In the next few days, with the joint efforts of the clansmen, Tong Xiu's house was built, the style of the house was built in imitation of the West family, one thing is very special, there is a big tree next to their house, Tong Xiu specially built a small wooden house, as a small studio of Tang Ning, and their house is also the most shiny, hanging the door of the jewel bead curtain, colorful, very prominent, the idea of this bead curtain is proposed by Gu Xi, Tang Ning immediately started to make it, and gave Gu Xi a set, Gu Xi had no choice but to hang on the door of the bathroom.

No way, Tang Ning just likes shiny things, especially the tableware of Tong Xiu's family, which is really pure gems, have you ever seen such a big gem? Have you ever seen a gem that big as a bowl for eating? On the first day Tong Xiu Tang Ning moved into the new house, he invited guests to dinner, Gu Xi silently held the big red bowl, pondering, why didn't he pay attention to Tang Ning on the way here, Tang Ning actually carried such a big stone! This is a naked show of wealth! If you accidentally fall, it will break. The local tyrant Tang Ning said that they are just stones, and some of them are ......

Speaking of which, Tang Ning adapted very well here, he was very capable, even if he was well taken care of by his brother in the fox clan before, he was not very squeamish, he has been studying hard, whether it is in life or his own craft, he has not relaxed, he followed the collection team of the tiger clan, and quickly figured out the surrounding environment, familiar with the ingredients he had never seen, and after learning from Uncle Song, the food he made was also very good, in Gu Xi's opinion, he was simply a character who learned from the top of the class, what he learned, and he did it very well. But most of the time, Tong Xiu is reluctant to let him do it, Tang Ning's hands are white and tender, and he doesn't know how to protect them, and he usually doesn't hurt his hands when he makes jewelry weaving things, Tong Xiu's baby is terrible, and what makes Gu Xi deeply affected is that Tang Ning is also a strong man, and he is a weak chicken when he compares himself......

Under pondering with Gu Xi, the vine basket has been changed to bamboo to weave, the bamboo basket has become stronger and more lovely under Tang Ning's exquisite craftsmanship, the bamboo cut back has to be split into thin slices with a knife, this is a very meticulous work, Tang Ning has practiced a few times, he has mastered the skills, the strength is just right, the bamboo strips that are split are very easy to use, even Uncle Jiang, who is used to doing craft work, admires it, it is really not easy to split the bamboo so evenly!

Tang Ning knitted a lot of practical bamboo baskets at home, the Xu Du storage at home is handmade by Tang Ning, and the back basket is also more sturdy and exquisite, Tang Ning usually exchanges things with handmade products with people in the tribe, and also tells Tong Xiu to pay attention to the surrounding stone mountains when he goes out, and bring back beautiful stones, and the jewelry made is becoming more and more exquisite, Gu Xi also pointed out a few times, in fact, he told him the jewelry style he had seen in the present world, and Tang Ning's designs were more and more, and he could simply create his own brand!

I have to say that the creative power of human beings in another world is really amazing! Song Xuan, Jiang Laobo, Tang Ning, Yan Yan...... Each one is very good, cooking, construction, crafting, sewing...... None of the people in the tribe were left behind, and everyone was working hard.

He's going to work harder.
