Chapter 15 It is finished
"Second brother, don't take the lid of the pot yet!" As soon as Chen Chunhua entered the kitchen, she saw the second child's movements and hurriedly stopped him.
When the second child heard this, he smiled honestly. "I, I just want to see if it's okay!"
"It's not enough, you have to simmer it for a while!" After grinding those soybeans in the morning, this will be the time to cook the tofu, if you open the lid now, the tofu will not look good, and the skin will be wrinkled on it.
"Well, I've already smoked the firewood in the stove!" After the second child finished speaking, he walked out of the kitchen.
Seeing the second child come out, the eldest picked up the basket and threw it over. "What are you doing, you don't have anything to do!"
"Big brother, I didn't do anything, no, I also want to see what that stuff my daughter-in-law is like!" The second child picked up the basket on the ground, sat down, picked up the sickle and repaired the bamboo strips.
The third child kept weaving the basket with both hands, and looked at the second child. "Second brother, you don't understand, just let your daughter-in-law get it by herself, if it is broken, see what you do!"
Received from the eldest and third, the second child's face was anxious. "What's the matter, I won't break it, this is my daughter-in-law's thing, why should I break it!"
"Okay, you hurry up and take a basket of potatoes and melons to the river to wash them, my daughter-in-law said!" After the boss finished speaking, he took the basket and went to the house to load the potatoes and melons. The second child's face was stuffy, and the third child couldn't help but say when he saw the second child like this. "Second brother, don't mind!"
"I don't mind, how can I be!" The second child said, picked up the basket and went into the house.
After simmering on a low fire for a while, Chen Chunhua was excited, carefully opened the lid of the pot, looked at the white flowers inside, poked it lightly with his fingers, and saw that the tofu had been formed, and said happily. "It's done!" It was her first time to make tofu, and she used to help Sister Chen, but this was the first time she could make it like this, and she felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart, which was happier than when she won a big order.
Hearing Chen Chunhua's words, the three brothers entered the kitchen, looking at the white and tender tofu, and they were all happy. "Daughter-in-law, what is this called, why does it look so tender and flowery!" The second child has never seen this thing, so naturally it is very strange, not to mention him, although the eldest and the third child did not show too much on their faces, they were still very excited in their hearts.
Now they suddenly understand that their daughter-in-law is not ordinary, amazing!
"This is called tofu, made with beans, this tofu is delicious, and it can make a lot of tricks!" Tofu is a lot of dishes that can be cooked. After speaking, Chen Chunhua took two rags, and the boss saw this and immediately took it. "Daughter-in-law, I'm coming!"
"Cheng, big brother, you help me bring the tofu to the table!" There is no wood steaming here, and the third child who comes to make the lattice is made of bamboo chips. This doesn't matter, and I'm not in a hurry now, as long as the tofu can be made, the following things are all trivial!
The boss nodded, picked up the tofu, and brought it to the table in the hall and put it away.
I didn't make much tofu, only two plates. Looking at the tofu on the table, Chen Chunhua felt an indescribable taste in her heart, and the biggest thought was to thank her, thanks to her mother's craftsmanship.
"Daughter-in-law, what else are you going to do?" The boss put the tofu away and asked Chen Chunhua.
Chen Chunhua thought for a moment. "Big brother, you help me wash two melons!"
"Okay, daughter-in-law, I'm going to wash!" The second child happily responded and dragged the boss into the utility room.
The third child was not idle, and hurriedly went to the utility room to move out the big tank.
Looking at the three brothers who are busy working, Chen Chunhua is full of hope for her future life.
The eldest and second moved very quickly, and the washed potatoes and melons were poured into the big vat.
Chen Chunhua walked out with a chopping board and a kitchen knife, moved a small stool and sat down. "Big brother, help me empty two buckets."
The boss answered, and went into the kitchen to empty the bucket.
Chen Chunhua doesn't plan to put her thoughts only on tofu, she wants to make use of these crops.
After the boss took out the bucket, the three brothers half-squatted and gathered around Chen Chunhua, wanting to see what she would do next.
Chen Chunhua took out the potatoes and melons from the large jar and chopped them with a kitchen knife. There is no machine for making sweet potatoes, and the only way to make it is to rely on your hands.
After cutting for a while, Chen Chunhua began to struggle a little. After all, this body has been malnourished for a long time, and it is still quite difficult to do physical work.
Seeing Chen Chunhua's appearance, the boss took the knife in her hand. "Daughter-in-law, is it just a matter of chopping these potatoes and melons?"
Chen Chunhua stood up, gave up the stool to the boss, nodded, and said. "Well, that's not all, it's going to chop the melons into shredded foam!"
Seeing the boss keep cutting potatoes and melons, Chen Chunhua entered the house, looked around in the utility room, and didn't find what he wanted.
"Third brother, is there a big mallet in the house?" Chen Chunhua saw the third child come in, asked him, and made a comparison in his hand.
The third child shook his head. "What do you want that thing for?"
"What about it, there is a big stick mallet to save trouble!" Chen Chunhua spun around, her hands on her waist, a little panting.
"It's nothing, I'll go make one!" The third child walked out of the hall as he spoke, and walked back after a while, looking at Chen Chunhua and said. "Daughter-in-law, how long is that big mallet going to be?"
"My arms are about the same length, make a few more!" Chen Chunhua then remembered that it was not easy to want a big mallet, so couldn't it be done by cutting down trees directly? After thinking about it, he continued. "New wood is not successful, dead wood is required!"
"Cheng, I'll do it!" The third child has something to do, and he is full of energy.
Seeing that the eldest and third were busy, the second came to Chen Chunhua and said. "Daughter-in-law, what about me, what am I going to do?"
Chen Chunhua glanced at the second child and reached out to probe the temperature of the tofu. "Wait!" After saying that, he went into the kitchen, brought a large bowl of three, and cut the tofu with the bamboo slices that had been cut in advance to mark the tofu.
Then, fill each bowl with three pieces of tofu and look at the second child. "Second brother, you send these to the village chief, the second aunt, and Xinghua's house, and tell them that this tofu can be used to cook and eat, remember to chop it and beat it with a knife, like me!" Chen Chunhua said, picking up a piece of tofu in the wooden steamed and opening it into several pieces with bamboo strips.
"Alas, I remember!" After the second child finished speaking, he took the basket and put all three bowls into it. "Daughter-in-law, I'm going!"
"Alas, go ahead!"
Chen Chunhua is not worried about whether they will eat tofu, but it is right to do so, firstly, they can get acquainted with each other, and secondly, if something happens in the future, they can also stand up and say a few words.
In this country, gossip is like having wings, and it is inevitable that some people will see that you have something good, and they will talk in secret.
