Lu Yu lifted the stone drum high, raised it above his head, and then slammed it down.

This piece of the ground seemed to be shaken by Lu Yu's frustration, Lu Yu's force was too great, and the stone drum was actually pressed down a lot. Originally, the stone drum only sank into a small part, but Lu Yu used such a force, but now only a small part is exposed.

"Woo ......" The group of northerners all took a breath of cool air. And the people of Yangshan Village couldn't help but cheer. Lu Yu felt that this might be the first time that he had been recognized by almost the entire village.

So even if everyone was happy about the rest of the matter, Hong Wenwu successfully entered Yangshan Village, and Lu Wuye and the people in the village also felt that they had face, so they were no longer afraid of that group of northerners. And Qi Xiang and his gang were completely convinced by Lu Yu, and they were all very happy that Hong Wenwu had successfully entered the Yangshan Village.

Hong Wenwu's entry into the army was just the beginning, and in the following short time, several widows successfully "combined" with several northern men. Qi Xiang was even more happy to give his companions all kinds of ideas, running before and after Zhang Luo, and even wanted to promote the initiative of "combining local and foreign", so that the rest of his fellow villagers scattered in various villages and towns would also learn and learn, and strive to be upgraded from the status of a homeless person to a local son-in-law as soon as possible.

I don't know if it's because of gratitude or respect, Qi Xiang helped Lu Yu to harvest crops every day. Lu Yu euphemistically said several times that he didn't need to help, but Qi Xiang always stayed the same, and said that he didn't need to be paid. Of course, it is impossible for Lu Yu not to pay him, ten catties of grain a day is indispensable, which is twice as high as the wage they clearly offer.

Qi Xiang has a lot of words, often hippie and smiling, and looks like a hanger, but he is really good at doing farm work, and these people from the city are not the same as Qi Xiang.

With Qi Xiang's help, Lu Yu quickly harvested the crops in the field. This year's harvest is good, and the output of corn and soybeans is a lot, and it seems that in the next year or so, Lu Yu will not have to worry about his family's lack of food.

The sweet potatoes ripen a little later, and the corn and soybeans are harvested, Lu Yu has to rest for a few days, and plans to make some more delicious food, "comforting" the Yan family who have worked hard recently.

Lu Yu planned to grind tofu.

There is no need to hide in the valley if the beans are grinded, Lu Yu put fifty catties of dried beans into a cloth bag and soaked them in the backyard pool. Then Lu Yu was about to go out to borrow a stone mill, and Qin Zhongquan came.

Qin Zhongquan led a group of men to Lu Yu's house, his subordinates carried them on their shoulders, and someone pushed a wheelbarrow and tricycle, bringing a lot of food.

Lu Yu was surprised and delighted, and asked Qin Zhongquan: "Did you really find the grain hidden in Jinhua City by the Benevolence Society?" ”

"Yes, there are 10,000 catties, corn, wheat, rice, soybeans, everything. Lin Siyan didn't know where he got so much food, after he fled, his original subordinates moved a lot, and there was still so much left. It's just that it's very hidden, and we searched for a long time to find it. Qin Zhongquan's face was excited, and he didn't say where this grain was originally hidden.

Lu Yu said: "Hey, this is cheap for us." ”

Qin Zhongquan asked his subordinates to put the grain in Lu Yu's house, and said, "These grains are definitely not half of what I found, if Mr. Lu thinks it is not enough, I will have someone send some more." ”

"No, no, no, it's a lot. Besides, you have a lot of brothers, so you should keep more. Lu Yu didn't look at it very closely, the grain sent by Qin Zhongquan must be five or six thousand catties.

Qin Zhongquan said with a smile: "Hehe, if Mr. Lu hadn't beaten Lin Siyao away, I wouldn't have been able to get a single grain of this grain." This year's situation is good, the first season harvest of the paddy fields around our water village is not bad, and the seedlings of the second season have been planted. ”

"That's good, that's good." Lu Yu was happy in his heart, the food was sufficient, and everything was easy to say.

After a few more pleasantries, Qin Zhongquan left with his subordinates. Lu Yu looked at the food in the room, and thought: "There is so much food, it must be divided into half for Lu Ming, and there is still a lot left, so let's put it first." ”

Yan Jibai's family of four was also very happy to see these grains. Although Lu Yu's family now eats with five mouths, the food at home is now enough to support more than two years.

In the afternoon, Lu Yu borrowed an ox cart again, planning to send a batch of grain to the town, and then come back to grind tofu. Lu Yu can now be described as "wealthy", he went to Lu Tian's house to borrow an ox cart, and sent half a bag of grain, and Lu Tian, who was happy, couldn't close his mouth.

When the food was sent to Lu Ming's house, Lu Ming's family was also surprised and delighted, and asked Lu Yu how the food came from.

This time, Lu Yu didn't hide much, and told them that the food was sent by the leader of the Tianhai Gang.

Lu Ming and the others were even more curious, and asked Lu Yu why the Tianhai Gang would give him food.

"I've helped them...... After Lin Siyao in Jinhua City was beaten away by us, he found a lot of food and divided some with me. ”

"That's right, I heard that you beat the head of the man surnamed Lin, and I don't know where to hide." Lu Ming didn't bother to ask his brother why he was so capable now, he knew that if he asked, there would be no result.

Returning from Lu Ming's house, Lu Yu continued to make tofu.

Many families in Yangshan Village have stone mills, and Lao Gao's family has them. Lu Yu went to Lao Gao's house to borrow a stone mill, and before leaving, he quietly said to Lao Gao: "Qin Zhongquan sent me a lot of food, if your family is not enough to eat, go to me to get it." In fact, even if Lu Yu didn't say it, the people in the village already knew about it, not to mention that he didn't plan to hide it from Lao Gao at all.

"I might really want to borrow food from you this year, hehe." Unlike Lu Yu, Lao Gao's field has not increased by half a cent, and there is no other additional food supplement, but his family's population is quite large.

"Well, why don't you go to my house and get a few bags first."

Lao Gao thought for a while and said, "Don't use it first, and then borrow it from you when it's not enough." After a pause, he said, "Everyone in the village is looking at your house, and I can't borrow it now." ”

Lu Yu nodded, feeling that what Lao Gao said made sense, although he had a good relationship with Lao Gao, after all, he was not a relative, if he "blatantly" sent food to him, and others wanted to borrow it, it would be difficult for him to refuse.

After setting up a stone mill in the backyard, and washing a large wooden basin that had not been used for a long time, and spreading two layers of gauze in the basin, Lu Yu was ready to start grinding beans. The wooden basin and gauze are used to catch the bean dregs and bean juice from the grinding, and the two layers of gauze can well isolate the bean dregs and bean juice.

It's not easy to grind tofu alone, and Mrs. Yan was going to help put the beans, but the pair of sisters and brothers were clamoring to come.

Lu Yu pushed the grinding dry and turned the stone grinding blade, and Yan Xiding used a wooden spoon to scoop up the soaked beans and water and send them into the grinding hole. As soon as the stone grinding blade turned, the beans were ground into slag, and the juice was ground out, which flowed down the stone trench at the bottom of the grinding into the wooden basin on the ground.

Yan Xiding played for a while, felt a little greasy, and handed the wooden spoon to his sister. Yan Xi'an refused to do the work of putting beans, she had to grind.

The stone mill is not a particularly big one, and Lu Yu felt that Yan Xi'an's current strength could completely push it, so he let go of the grinding rod and let her try it.

Yan Xi'an pushed the grinding rod, deliberately fast and slow, the soybeans scooped in by Lu Yu could not be ground fine and evenly at one time, and needed to be ground several times.

So Mrs. Yan told her daughter to stop playing and do things seriously.

Yan Xi'an smiled and said, "I'm grinding it carefully, and the bean juice (soy milk) that comes out of this ground is delicious." ”

"Bean juice? I'm going to drink soy milk, with sugar! Yan Xiding remembered the deliciousness of fresh soy milk, and he had to go back to get the bean juice in the bowl and scoop the wooden pot.

"You can't drink it, it's not boiled yet." Lu Yu asked Yan Xi'an to scoop the beans and grind them himself.

Lu Yu grinds fast, Yan Xi'an is also fast now, the two cooperate very well, and dozens of catties of beans are quickly grinded.

After grinding, Lu Yu and Yan Jibai lifted the gauze in the wooden basin together, squeezed it hard, and squeezed out all the bean juice in the bean dregs, and then hung the gauze wrapped in the bean dregs on the grape trellis, and placed a large wooden basin underneath, so that some bean juice could be filtered out.

Lu Yu began to think about what to do with tofu at night. Tofu can naturally be eaten fresh, and can also be used to fry bean bubbles, make dried tofu, or moldy bean curd. It's okay to cook it hot, and it's okay to eat it raw cold, in fact, Lu Yu also likes to eat it with shallots.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yu decided to use tofu to stew fish, fresh tofu, fresh fish, plus Lu Yu's cooking skills, don't think about it, it will definitely be delicious.

The bean juice was almost filtered, and Lu Yu set up the cauldron again, ready to cook soy milk.

Pour the soy milk into a large pot and boil it over high heat, after boiling, scoop it into a wooden barrel, add gypsum water to it, and then stir it with a wooden stick. Before stirring, Lu Yu made a few large bowls, this is the freshest soy milk, even if there is no sugar, the taste is very good.

Stirring and stirring, the bean juice in the bucket gradually thickened, and Lu Yu stopped stirring, went to dismantle two wooden planks and washed them with well water, ready to use them to press tofu.

There are few jobs in the countryside that Lu Yu can't do, when he was a child, he also grinded tofu a few times at home, although he didn't grind it for many years, he didn't forget the various steps.

A clean white cloth is laid on one of the door panels, spread very flat, and then the semi-thick tofu flowers in the wooden barrel are scooped on the white cloth, and then covered with a white cloth, and then the other door panel is pressed on top and flattened into a large piece.

The bean curd had to be pressed for a while to become a firm tofu, and Lu Yu couldn't keep pressing it, so he moved a few stones and pressed them on the door panel above, preparing to go out and catch a few fish and come back.

Before he went out, Qi Xiang came over. He has been running to Lu Yu's house a lot recently, and he often comes over for something, and he is familiar with the four members of the Yan family.

"Da Yu, make tofu."

"yes." Lu Yu smiled and said, "Come to my house for dinner in the evening and come with my sister-in-law." "Qi Xiang's daughter-in-law is crazy, sometimes she doesn't speak for a few days, and sometimes she stands outside the wooden shed where she lives and scolds, and she doesn't necessarily scold anyone.

"Oh, no." Qi Xiang seemed a little embarrassed, and after a while, he finally spoke: "That big feather, next time you go up the mountain to hunt, can you take me with you?" Hehe......"
