Ye Qiu poured the ground soybean milk into a wooden basin, added some brine, stirred slowly while adding, and when flocculent appeared, he slowly stopped stirring, and then poured the soybean milk into the clay pot to cook.

Chu Ying also used several wooden boards to make a tofu shelf, each of the four partitions cut out half of the wooden strips at one end, and then intersected in pairs, found a good position on the supporting board of the tofu shelf, chiseled a few small holes, and then marked the bottom of the intersecting four wooden planks in the corresponding position, and cut off the unwanted parts, so that the wood chips could be combined with the supporting board.

Chu Ying struck the back of the axe a few times, so that it was more solid. After washing, put it in the kitchen for Ye Qiu to use.

"Do you have clean linen at home?" Ye Qiu looked at the fire, and saw that Chu Ying made a tofu rack after a while, and he didn't know where he learned the skill.

"Yes." Chu Ying put the washed linen cloth on the tofu rack, Ye Qiu poured the boiled tofu on the shelf, then covered the linen, and then covered it with a wooden board and a stone.

Chu Ying squatted on the ground and looked at the drops of water dripping down, she had only gone to the supermarket to buy tofu, and she had never made it herself, so she thought it was very funny.

"It's not particularly good, and there will still be some fine holes, but it's okay to eat it yourself."

"It's okay, it looks good, when can I eat it?"

"It took two quarters of an hour to take shape. Let's eat tofu fish soup today. Chu Ying nodded, and then went to the pond to catch a fish of more than two catties with the net she made. This net is made of 6 long hemp ropes, knotted in pairs, separated and knotted.

The ring on the fishing pole is made of bamboo, which can be made softer by soaking the bamboo in water and then heating it with fire, and then fixed in a circle around the city, and then tied to a fishing net.

The larger fish can be seen by themselves, and the smaller ones are gradually increasing, this method of raising fish with lake mud is feasible, but the effect is not as fast as using fish fry, anyway, there are only two people in the family who can't eat much, so Chu Ying has no idea of buying fish fry.

After dinner, Chu Ying warmed up the pine resin, poured the 50 bamboo knots that were demolded with pine resin, Ye Qiu rubbed the rope, Chu Ying poured pine resin, and the operation on both sides was much faster.

When it was dawning, Chu Ying brought some candles to Qin Zhong, "Is this made of pine resin?" Candles with pine resin will be more expensive, the average household lamp oil is more, this pine resin can also be used as a medicinal material, if there are more at home, you can go to the medicinal herb shop to ask. ”

"Okay, since these are done, let's sell them here, I don't know the market, how much silver does this cost?"

"Generally, lard and butter are used for a lot, one is 12 wen, and lamp oil is cheaper one or two wen. You have to get 15 to 20 wen a piece. ”

Chu Ying thought it would be good to be able to sell it for 10 wen, "Then there is no oil made from plants?" ”

"Yes, there is, but it is used to make silk cloth, and the amount of oil used to make plants is more cumbersome and small, and it is not used to make lamp oil and candles."

Chu Ying thought that the experience of making vegetable oil was not enough, so it was not mass-produced. "Okay, let's sell it first, I will give you a penny, the thing is relatively small, you can just put it away."

"I have to put this in a conspicuous position, in the past, there were people picking pine resin in the mountains, but now there are many less." Chu Ying saw Qin Zhong take out a tighter box and put the candles in it one by one.

"Okay, I'll go to the pharmacy and have a look." Chu Ying found a few pharmacies and showed them the pine resin made into candles, mostly at a price of 35 to 40 wen a catty.

"How many do you have?" Chu Ying saw a thin man in Tsing Yi coming in through the back door, and the medicine boy next to him stopped what he was doing and stood with his head bowed.

"I can bring about 10 pounds in half a month." Chu Ying is calculated according to the usual amount of cutting, which is more stable.

"Other pharmacies won't want as much as us, so you don't have to ask anymore, 35 Wen, just take it off and bring it over." cough ...... "Chu Ying saw that this person was sick like a sick person, and he was dressed very plainly, Chu Ying glanced at the white-bearded old man, after all, the last time he came, it was this old man who was in charge.

"This is our little master, just listen to him."

"Yes, but can you please tell me what this pine resin can do?" Chu Ying always thought that this pine resin and rosin turpentine were used for decoration.

"Haha, you kid, this pine resin is a fairy product that nourishes the acquired foundation, cures carbuncle sores, head ulcers and baldness, scabies, and calms the five organs, removes heat, and can be lightweighted and prolonged for a long time. You bring this thing to the apothecary, but you don't know what it does. ”

"Haha, I've also heard from others that you can sell it here. Then I'll fetch it tomorrow. ”

"Okay, can I finish the previous medicine? Do you need more? ”

"No need, grandpa, the weather has been warm recently, and my body is relatively cheerful, so it's okay."

"That's good." Chu Ying saw the old man smiling and brushing his beard and left.

"Is this the frail kid I talked about last time? How to look at the spirit is very good. Is it that Mr.'s medical skills have improved again? ”

"Where, it's just that this child walks around a lot, it's like you lie in bed every day, and this person who is not sick is going to be sick."

"Didn't Mr. tell me to recuperate?" This man's eyes are like a clear spring, although his body is thin, but he is fresh and handsome, like a willow in the wind, which makes people pity, obviously a man but his skin is as clean as snow, and his long hair is black.

"This, have you taken the medicine?" The white-bearded old man held his forehead and slowly walked back to the backyard.

Chu Ying went to Qin Zhong to take one or two, and went to buy 3 pieces of fine cloth, one coarse cloth, the sheets and sheets are all close to the body, and they should be made of good materials, Chu Ying tastes that she doesn't need to wear it too well to do farm work, and it is not a pity to throw it away when it is worn out.

However, Ye Qiu didn't seem to be very satisfied with his purchase. "Why is it all one color? At least buy a lighter one, how do I make a skirt? ”

"Also, next time I buy a light-colored one, I can't let Ye Qiu's little lady go out in a cyan ball."

"I'm not afraid, but you wear men's clothes every day, which is not good, how can you marry in the future." Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu, who was more worried about her marriage than her mother.

"How can you open and close your mouth to get married, are you ashamed......" Chu Ying nodded on Ye Qiu's face with her hand.

"You're ashamed of a girl who always wears men's clothes, anyway, you have to have a skirt, so what kind of festival can you go out."

"Yes, yes." Chu Ying didn't talk to this young old mother, stuck out her tongue and went to get a piece of linen cloth and spread it in the back basket, and then put the solidified pine resin in the back basket, a whole back basket of pine resin, to say the least, there are more than 40 catties, these are barely carried by themselves, so they didn't add it to it, and the rest is almost more than 40 catties.

Chu Ying could already see the shiny copper plate beckoning to her, and she sneered. "What are you laughing at? You're still young, not old enough to get married, so don't like anyone's children. ”

"Didn't you keep talking about getting married? Now it's dissuaded again, you know I'm small, these pine resin will be sent to the pharmacy tomorrow, 35 wen a catty. ”

"35 Wen a pound? That's okay, after all, it's picked, and the best pine resin can take several processes to enter the medicine, 50 wen a catty, and the better ones cost 1 yuan of silver. Chu Ying felt that she had sold her pine resin a little cheaply, but after thinking about it, she saved the trouble of making zuò, and she was not good at it, and she didn't mix it up.

"When I save some money to buy some ducks, this pool will have to be put to good use." It's a waste to just water and raise fish. ”

"Yes, it's good to plant some lotus root and water chestnut, as well as lettuce, although you can pick some of these by the lake, but it's also good to grow some at home. When the harvest comes, it is always not as neat as those mothers-in-law. ”

Indeed, like the wild vegetables Chu Ying picked some before, not as fast as those women, Chu Ying has to ask Qin Zhong tomorrow, although Ye Qiu understands something, but after all, he grew up in the mansion and doesn't know everything, so it's better to ask Qin Zhong for insurance.
