Soak the beans in the morning, and in the evening, Lin Mei looked at it and felt that it was almost over, so she went to Tian's house with the bucket of soaked beans.

Looking at the stone mill in front of her, Lin Mei suddenly felt remorseful, what is it not good, you have to make tofu, as the old saying goes, there are three hardships in the good world: supporting the boat, striking iron, and grinding tofu.

Lin Mei covered her face, took a deep breath, and as if she had made up her mind, she pushed the stone mill hard, it was okay, and she could still push it.

I brought clean water, cleaned the stone mill, and began to grind the beans.

Lin Mei also borrowed a clean bucket of bean juice from Aunt Tian, and after the beans were finished, Lin Mei was already tired. Sitting on the stool next to me, rubbing my hands and thinking, if I really want to do this all the time, I have to be tired to death.

"Aunt Tian, where did you buy this stone mill?" Lin Mei inquired.

"What, you want to buy one, it's not easy to buy." Aunt Tian thought that Lin Mei wanted to buy one and put it at home.

"That's the case, this one of yours is too big, I've only been pushing it for a long time, I'm already tired, if it's like this every day, I see that I can't do this tofu business, and I wonder if I can get a small one to try." Lin Mei explained.

"Also, don't talk about you, my hands hurt after pushing for a long time, this stone mill is still made by your Uncle Tian himself, if you want it, I'll ask him, can I get you a little smaller." Aunt Tian looked at Lin Mei's thin arms and legs, and she was also a little unbearable.

"Then please ask Aunt Tian again, how much silver does it cost?" Lin Mei thought in her heart, if it was too expensive, it would be better to change her career as soon as possible.

"Old man, Meizi asked if you could get a small stone mill." Aunt Tian shouted into the main room.

Uncle Tian, formerly known as Tian Zhu, walked out of the main house with a Han cigarette in his mouth, "Who do you say wants stone grinding?" ”

"Uncle Tian, I want a little stone grinding." Lin Mei said.

Uncle Tian took a puff of Han cigarette, spit out a circle of white smoke, and said: "If you can get it, but there is not enough stone at home, if you are not in a hurry, it will take a few days, I will go to the quarry to get some for you." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, Uncle Tian, is it expensive to get stone?" Lin Mei saw that there was a play, and even said.

Uncle Tian glanced at Lin Mei and said, "I used to stay in the quarry, I went to ask for it, they won't charge me money, but you have to make a pot of good wine and let me bring it over." ”

A pot of wine can be done, this business is cost-effective, Lin Mei nodded and said no problem.

"Uncle Tian, I'll bring you the wine tomorrow, and I'll bother you to take the time to run." Lin Mei didn't know where the quarry was, and wondered in her heart that if the distance was far, it would be better to hire a car for Uncle Tian.

The matter of the stone mill was entrusted to Uncle Tian, and Lin Mei saw that it was delayed for a long time, so she cleaned the bucket, vacated the borrowed bucket and washed it, returned it to Aunt Tian, and went home with the bean juice.

Fortunately, I met Shanzi on the way to pick it up, otherwise, I don't know when this bean juice will be brought back.

When I got home, it was already dark, Father Lin was sitting in the courtyard, and an oil lamp was lit in the hall, the lights flashed and flickered, and the fire shadow danced lightly and slowly, setting off a quiet and warm feeling, so that Lin Mei had a feeling that her previous life was just a dream, and now it is the real feeling.

Lin Mei said hello to Daddy Lin with the bean juice, then went into the kitchen, and made the tofu at night, most of the bean juice in half a bucket, Lin Mei planned to divide it into three boils, mainly because the proportion of gypsum water was not accurate, according to the comparison of one to hundred, boil a pot first.

The fragrance of soy milk permeated the entire Lin family, Lin Mei couldn't help it, scooped four bowls, put a little sugar, and called the family to taste it, all of them put up their big mother fingers, and the peaches shouted to drink, Lin Mei said that there would be better ones for a while, and the peaches endured it, and the family sat in the kitchen, looking forward to Lin Mei's so-called better food.

The first pot of soybean milk with gypsum water slowly solidified into tofu flowers, Lin Mei put the ordered tofu flowers into the mold, wrapped them in a white cloth, and put the pre-washed stones on the mold board. After about 20 minutes, I opened it and found that there was more gypsum water, and it turned into old tofu.

Lin Mei continued to cook the second pot, and after half an hour, the second time the tofu was good, but the gypsum was a little less and became bean curd.

Douhua is also good, Lin Mei comforted, afraid that everyone would not be used to eating, so she made two bowls, one bowl of sweet, one bowl of salty, and tried it with a spoon, and the result was very popular, Shanzi directly made a bowl of sweet one by herself, Lin Mei was afraid that the peaches would not be digested if she ate too much, so she asked her to eat the rest of the bowl, and the peaches were greedy and said that she wanted to learn to make tofu with her sister.

The spring breeze blew overnight, a few families were happy, and a few families were sad.

"Go, bring my wife's medicine." Guo Ping'an stood in front of the bed, watching his wife lying on the bed angry and refusing to drink medicine, feeling angry and helpless.

"Master, the medicine is here." Chunxiang took the medicine, looked at his wife, meowed at the old man again, and said boldly: "Master, let me feed the medicine to my wife." ”

"Let me do it." Guo Ping'an picked up the medicine and waved his hand to signal Chunxiang to go down.

Chunxiang saw that the master was going to feed the medicine himself, and recited Amitabha Buddha in her heart, so she turned around and stood at the door with the little girl, afraid that if the wife made a fuss, no one agreed.

"Zhiling, don't make trouble, be good, drink the medicine first." Guo Ping'an carefully coaxed his wife Min.

The Min family got up and shouted loudly: "How can he count the fifth child in the Liu family, if he hadn't got the old lady's acquiescence, would he have the guts?"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, drink the medicine first, and I'll explain it to you."

"If you don't drink it, if you're dead, pull it down, your whole family wishes I was dead, and the whole family will hide it from me like a fool, Guo Ping'an, let me tell you, if you dislike me, let me know as soon as possible, and I'll make room for you." Min is angry.

"What is not dead, don't be so careful, I asked my mother about this, and my mother said that she didn't know at all, if she had known......"

"If she had known, what the hell, she still wanted to directly tie up the fifth child and send her to the Liu family?"

Guo Ping'an didn't explain, but when he explained, Min was even more angry, the old lady has always favored her younger daughter, and she usually gives something in private, and now she is helping Guo Qingxia calculate the fifth child, this breath is really unbearable.

"Look at you, where do you want to go, just now my mother said in front of the children, she doesn't care about the marriage of the fifth child, let the fifth child choose a satisfactory one, now you are satisfied." Guo Ping'an smirked twice in the face of his wife's hehe.

Min asked suspiciously, "What you said is true?" ”

"Really, it's truer than gold, if you say it in front of a child, can it be fake?" Guo Ping'an affirmed again.

"That's not right, the marriage of the fifth child, how can you let the fifth child choose, whose family is not the order of the parents, your mother will not be a set for us, can it be said that the fifth child really likes the girl of the Liu family." Min muttered alone.

"Okay, don't get entangled, you don't know the old five, I used to jump up and down like a monkey, and I only learned to be obedient in the last two days, except for the private school every day, I just stayed in the study, where to find a satisfactory girl, it's not the time to go, you choose a few that are satisfactory, let him look at each other and choose one, how can he escape from your five finger mountain." Guo Ping'an put his arm around Min's shoulder and said jokingly.

At this time, Min was really relieved, and he took her husband's hand and drank the medicine.

……

The gypsum tofu was successfully made in the third pot, and Lin Mei looked at the white and tender tofu and fell asleep with a sense of accomplishment.
