040 Make tofu
The weather was beautiful, the weather was very sunny, and the process of making persimmons was smooth.
Jiang Xiaonian went to pinch the persimmon every few days, first, to remove the seeds, and second, to feel the softness and hardness of the persimmon.
After seven or eight days of drying, you can already see that the persimmons have precipitated some sugar, and some have slowly put on a little frosting, and the persimmons have changed from golden to brown, and persimmons have begun to take shape.
Jiang Xiaonian was very happy, took out a large wooden bucket, put the persimmons in the bucket one by one, neatly arranged, each yard layer, covered with a layer of sun-dried persimmon skin, and finally used the persimmon skin to cover the top persimmon, cover the wooden barrel with a lid, and place it in a cool place.
Jiang Xiaonian clapped his hands and looked at the wooden barrels in front of him, very satisfied.
After another half a month, the sugar in the persimmon will be completely precipitated, forming a layer of hoarfrost on the outside of the persimmon, and the taste is no longer sour, but with a sweet taste.
And during this time, Jiang Xiaonian also ushered in her first birthday here.
There was no extravagance, just a hearty meal for the family together, just like this, Jiang Xiaonian felt extremely satisfied.
I don't know if it's because of the birthday.,The space seems to have exerted its strength.,Finally, another new species has grown.。
And this new species is still the garlic that Jiang Xiaonian misses in his heart.
The onions, ginger and garlic are all alive, and the dishes made in the future will be more fragrant.
Jiang Xiaonian harvested all the soybeans in the space, took some out of it, and began to grind tofu.
There is a little donkey at home to grind, so Jiang Xiaonian doesn't need help from others, and adds soybeans and water by himself.
"Xiao Nian, what are you doing here?" Zhou Huihui came back from washing her clothes and asked curiously.
"The soybeans I planted in the corner of the yard are ripe, and the book in the town says that if they are ground into a pulp, they can be made into delicious food."
Zhou Huihui was now convinced of Jiang Xiaonian's words, nodded and said, "Okay, you continue to do it, I see that your clothes are smaller again, and my mother will help you make clothes again." ”
Jiang Xiaonian showed a sweet smile: "Thank you, mother, you are the best!" ”
"Sister-in-law Hui, are you there?"
At this time, a soft inquiry sounded outside the courtyard.
As soon as Zhou Huihui heard the voice, she knew that it was Zhang Da's daughter-in-law who had come.
"Yes, yes! Come in. Zhou Huihui immediately greeted him.
Zhang Luo, dressed in gray coarse cloth clothes and holding a bundle of wild vegetables in his hand, stood quietly outside the courtyard.
After this period of recuperation, her body has grown a lot of flesh, and it is no longer the appearance that can be blown away by a gust of wind before.
Because I have eaten enough, the complexion on my face has also improved a lot, my cheeks are no longer sunken, and if I look closely, I am still a beauty.
Zhang Da picked up such a daughter-in-law, and she made a lot of money.
Zhang Luoshi was a little shy, and said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law Hui, I can't find those big insects in the field these days, and even those with shells are less, I'm afraid I won't be able to send them in the future." ”
Zhou Huihui knew what she was talking about, Zhang Da hadn't come over for several days, and she almost forgot about it.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's cold now, it's normal to not be able to find it, it's because we were negligent and forgot to tell you."
Seeing that Zhou Huihui didn't blame her, Zhang Luoshi showed a quiet smile and said: "Sister-in-law Hui, our family has been taken care of by you these days, and I am very grateful in my heart, but there is nothing to send at home, only these wild vegetables, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
After that, he handed the wild vegetables in his hand to Zhou Huihui.
Zhou Huihui did not refuse, accepted the wild vegetables, and Zhang Luozhi came over to express her gratitude, she was not good at touching her heart.
"It's not easy for you to come here, so stay for lunch later."
Zhang Luo waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I'll go home, I'm still waiting for me to cook at home." ”
Zhou Huihui knew that Zhang Luo was embarrassed, so she enthusiastically took her hand and walked to the yard, saying, "You're welcome, let Zhang Da make the lunch by himself, you can eat it here!" ”
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, so Zhang Luo had to stay.
After walking into the courtyard, Zhang Luo glanced at the wall blocking the courtyard, although he was curious, he didn't ask anything, but followed Zhou Huihui to the room to sit.
The stone mill is in the backyard, and Jiang Mengliang built a wall in the backyard with his own fired green bricks to separate it from the front yard, so that the villagers who happened to come to their homes did not know the existence of the stone mill.
There's also a bunch of chickens in the backyard, a variety of vegetables, and a couple of bouncing rabbits.
The rabbit was called by Jiang Xiaonian by chance, and when he found that there were cubs in his belly, he didn't eat them, but raised them.
Jiang Xiaonian plans to raise this litter of rabbits and take them to the restaurant to make ingredients.
Rabbits have a strong ability to reproduce, and as long as a few are left, they will have a continuous source of energy.
Zhang Luo's family came rarely, and he never entered the yard when he came over occasionally, and when he sat in the room this time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Jiang family was really rich, and even the walls were made of green bricks.
Although she doesn't know the price of this green brick, she also knows that it is used by a large family, and such a wall will cost a few taels of silver!
Strangely, the room is still made of adobe, I don't know why.
In fact, there are still a lot of fired green bricks in the backyard, and Jiang Mengliang plans to accumulate them to a certain extent, so he will repair the houses one by one.
These bricks were all made by him on a regular basis, and he did not rush to work as much as he could, and only after he had reached the size of one room, did he plan to dismantle one of the adobe rooms and replace it with green bricks.
After Zhou Huihui made a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Zhang Luo's, she cut clothes from the leftover linen cloth in the room, chatting about household chores while working.
Looking at the fine linen cloth, and then looking at the coarse cloth clothes with more than a dozen patches on his body, Zhang Luoshi couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law Hui, they all say that your family's situation is not good, I don't think it's at all, your family doesn't have any fields, how can there be so much food?" ”
This question has bothered her for a long time, and it is also the people of the mountain village, why is the gap so big.
Zhou Huihui was brought back by her topic, and said abruptly: "Actually, our family couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes a year ago, but it got better this year, and I also feel like a dream." ”
"Why is that?" Zhang Luo was curious to know if she had any tricks.
Zhou Huihui showed a smile and said: "Because I have a pair of sensible good children, don't you know, how smart they are, don't look at my daughter is only seven years old, she can take care of the affairs of the family......"
As soon as Jiang Xiaonian was mentioned, Zhou Huihui's words couldn't be contained, and she talked endlessly.
Of course, she didn't mention the affairs of the shops in the town and the key business secrets, only saying that Jiang Xiaonian usually cooks and works, and she doesn't fall behind.
Zhang Luoshi was fascinated by it, could it be that the Jiang family's life has become better because of the Jiang family's daughter?
