When the millet planted at the latest showed tender shoots, soybeans drilled out of the ground, holding two fat watercresses, and a little tender yellow sprouts were exposed in the middle of the watercress, the first grinding of the Qingque tribe was finally declared successful.

Not far from the stone flowerbed built by Han Chenglei, a one-meter-high stone platform was built.

A stone slab of about one square meter is placed on the stone platform, and in the center of the stone slab is a newly made stone mill made by the Qingque tribe.

The stone mill at the bottom sits on cement made of grass ash and is firmly built there.

This is to prevent when grinding something, it will rotate with the grinding plate above.

Around the stone mill, 10 centimeters wide from the stone mill, a 'ridge' about 10 centimeters high was built with cement and small stones.

At the lowest edge of the 'ridge', a water outlet is set aside.

This is so that the soy milk that is ground out will not be scattered.

The stone mill that pays attention to others will not do this, and the bottom one of their stone mill is directly chiseled out of the large stone slab, which is integrated with the stone slab.

The outer part of the stone slab is chiseled into a 'ditch and ridge' that collects soybean milk.

The Qingque tribe now has limited tools, and the technology of the stonemason, wood, is not mature enough, and the most important thing is that Han Cheng and the others are waiting to eat tofu and other flowers, so they use cement to replace this time-consuming project.

After confirming that the surrounding cement had dried up completely, I used several buckets of water to thoroughly clean the stone mill and the stone slabs around the stone mill, and finally began to grind the tofu.

The early summer morning sun shone through the verdant bamboo in the flower beds, leaving a fine patch of light on the wet stone grinder.

In the cool air, Han Cheng held a clay bowl in his left hand and scooped out a bowl of things from the clay pot placed on the stone platform.

The bowl contains two-thirds of the water and one-third of the soybeans that have been soaked for more than a day and completely soaked up the water.

The bowl is close to the top of the stone grinding eye, and when it is slightly tilted, the water enters the grinding eye, and after the water enters, it is the soaked soybeans.

While doing this, Han Cheng's right hand was not idle, holding the wooden handle on the stone mill, and his arm was spinning in circles.

After the soybeans enter the middle of the two mills through the grinding eye, the grinding crutches become more lightweight.

The stone mill rotates in circles, and the soybean grains that enter it are squeezed and ground into fine foam by the rough stone mill, appearing from the surrounding areas of the stone mill, and then slowly sliding down the stone mill.

The white soy milk mixed with some okara and slid into the cement trenches around the stone mill.

As more and more of them come together, they begin to flow towards the lowest gap, and finally merge into a white line that falls into the clay pot placed below, stirring up some white foam.

The slightly cool air is filled with the smell of raw soy milk, which is very familiar, just like the taste of grinding tofu during the Chinese New Year when I was a child.

The difference is that things have long been different from people, and they have completely become two worlds......

It's easy to attract people who have never done anything before.

After Han Cheng grinded half of the soaked beans, his eyes stared at Wu Wu, who had been grinding for a long time and was eager to try, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He tentatively opened his mouth and expressed to Han Cheng his desire to grind as well.

Han Cheng smiled, he had forgotten the stubble that the stone mill was attracting.

Immediately handed the bowl to Wu, Han Cheng stood aside and handed over the matter of grinding beans to Wu.

This is not a very demanding job, and it doesn't get much of a hindrance to pour more or less water into the grinding eye, so Han Chengcheng just stood aside and watched, and didn't say anything to give guidance.

The first mill of the Qingque tribe was only a small mill with a diameter of thirty centimeters, which was not heavy, and the witch crutches did not feel heavy.

When he first took over these tasks from Han Cheng, Wu's body was slightly tense, and his movements seemed a little stiff, and after the three bowls of beans were grinded, his movements were already very skillful.

After all, it's really not such a difficult job.

After the beans were grinded, Han Cheng asked people to get some clean water and pour them into the grinding eyes one by one.

On one side, the stone mill is turned, which is to wash away all the bean dregs and soy milk that remains here.

First, it can be done without waste, and secondly, it can wait until the next time you use it, and spend less effort on brushing.

Han Cheng, Wu, Senior Brother and others walked to the side with the ground soybean milk, and a two-meter-high shelf had been erected there.

In the middle of the shelf wears a beam, the middle of which is tied with a rope.

Underneath the rope is a stick one and a half centimeters thick.

The stick passes through the middle of two flattened, overlapping sticks.

Underneath the stick was a large pimple after resting.

The pimple was placed underneath the stick placed horizontally underneath it, preventing the two overlapping sticks from slipping out of the air.

Two stacked sticks, one meter long, had a hole drilled at each end, and each of them had a square burlap horn pierced through it.

The corners of the linen cloth are firmly tied here, forming a sling.

Finding a clean large clay pot and placing it under the sling, Han Cheng poured a jar of soy milk into the sling.

Then he motioned to the elder brother to do the same as him, holding the ends of the two wooden sticks that were stacked together, and began to shake the sling bag one to the left and one to the right.

The soy milk wrapped in the sling pocket also swayed left and right with the movements of Han Cheng and the senior brother, and some slightly yellowed white soy milk fell into the large clay pot placed below.

The reason why there is such a procedure is because in addition to soy milk, there are many okara after grinding.

This step is to separate the okara from the soy milk, which is filtration to put it bluntly.

The linen cloth with fine mesh woven by the Qingque tribe is just right for this purpose.

After the soybean milk in several clay pots was filtered, the large clay pot under the sling was almost full.

Only a piece of okara remained in the sling pocket.

Han Cheng didn't get the bean dregs out immediately, but added half a jar of water to it and hung it for a while.

There is no way, there are too few beans at this time, so we can only operate in line with the principle of making more soy milk if you can get more soy milk.

After hanging it again, Han Cheng got the bean dregs out, but he didn't want to throw it away, this thing is extremely nutrient-rich feed.

In ancient times, in the tofu factory, pigs and donkeys were generally fed.

Because of good eating, after feeding, it is much fatter than ordinary people.

When there is a shortage of food, the okara will be transformed into a food, and it is not uncommon to eat the okara.

Han Cheng was naturally reluctant to throw it away.
