Chapter Twenty-Four: Moving On

The Zheng family and the Li family came forward at the same time, as well as the confession of the nephew of the flower matchmaker who was beaten down before, which can be regarded as ironclad evidence, plus during this time, because of the interests on the dock, there were several fights, and the town manager was having a headache.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Mrs. Li took Sister Li Yue home.

"Grandma, then I'll go back." When she arrived at the door of the East House, Sister Li Yue waved at Mrs. Li, and Grandma did not allow her to enter the East House.

"Well, this lamp is carrying, illuminating the way." Mrs. Li's voice was still cold.

"Okay." Sister Li Yue didn't say much, took the angry wind lamp, and left, because by the way, Zheng Erbo gave Sister Li Yue a ride.

When she arrived at the edge of the cottage on the mountainside, Sister Li Yue looked back at the Li family's big house not far away at the bottom of the mountain, and saw a figure standing in the dark on the edge of the high gatehouse, and there was a dead wind lamp on the gatehouse.

"Your grandma doesn't worry about you, watch from that gatehouse." Zheng Tu grinned loudly.

"Hmm." Sister Li Yue nodded heavily, the experience of her previous life, the burden of rebirth, even though Sister Li Yue has always believed that she will do a good job, but sometimes she still feels that the pressure is very heavy, and she does not dare to breathe a sigh of relief, for fear that once she is relieved, she will not be able to lift her stamina.

But now, the figure on the gatehouse of the Li family and the light of the dead wind lamp let her know, which makes her feel a little warm in her heart, of course, at this time, Sister Li Yue's psychological feeling is very complicated, the indifference of grandma in the past life, the warmth of this life, which one is the real grandma?

"Second Uncle Zheng, I'm here, thank you, go back quickly, it's very cold here." When she arrived at the door of the thatched house, Sister Li Yue rubbed her hands and thanked Zheng Erbo.

"Okay, then I'll go back, you pay attention at night, and yell if there's anything wrong." Zheng Tu admonished, and then turned around and went down the mountain.

Watching Zheng Erbo leave, Sister Li Yue did not enter the house immediately, but called Li Moyi, hung the angry wind lantern in her hand on the top of the conjuring flag at her father's grave, and shook it, looking at the shaking light, this is to greet grandma, and she has arrived home safely.

Sure enough, after a while, the light on the gatehouse of the Li family went out.

And the village elder and the town chief A are also resolute in their work.

The next day, the flower matchmaker and his nephew were transmitted, with the Li family and the Zheng family testifying, plus the confession of the flower matchmaker's own grandson, the flower matchmaker wanted to deny it, and finally the nephew of the flower matchmaker was beaten ten boards and sent back to his hometown in Tongzhou, and the flower matchmaker was also questioned in public, and recorded in the family record, which has a record, and then the flower matchmaker will talk about the lotus, which cannot be erased.

And the flower matchmaker was embarrassed to go out for more than ten days, without her there to stir up the wind and rain, the business on the dock in Liuwa Town is much more orderly, a group of people carrying bags, a group of people who pull fiber, house teeth, human teeth, etc., are all classified into the sphere of influence, and the well water does not violate the river water, and there is no chaos some time ago.

The village elders and town chiefs finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sister Li Yue first took the money to repay the debts one by one in the past few days, and then thought about Mo Yi's future path, so she bought some gifts and went to see a few classmates of Daddy before his death.

After doing this, Sister Li Yue focused on the tofu business. The berries that Mrs. Tian said, Sister Li Yue has found in the back mountain of Lingshui Temple, this kind of fruit, very common in the mountains, when I was a child, Sister Li Yue also picked home to eat, nothing else, it is sour, some pregnant women like to put two when they are really hungry in their mouths, ordinary people can not bear the sourness, but I didn't expect that once fermented, the juice in addition to the original sour, but also with a kind of sweetness.

is exactly the same as Mrs. Tian's system, and Sister Li Yue is relieved.

Xiao Bao'er smelled the smell, and she couldn't be greedy, but Sister Li Yue said that she couldn't eat it, this little girl took her eldest sister's words as a holy decree, and she could only endure it while drooling, just looking forward to the tofu being made soon, she wanted to eat tofu flowers.

And Sister Li Yue was wondering if she could move tofu at this time.

This marinated is good, soybeans have been purchased a few days ago, enough to make tofu for a few days, and the grinding tools for tofu, Sister Li Yue also asked the carpenter to do a good job, only the stone grinding, Master Yuan, the stonemason, has been a little busy recently, and he can't spare time for a while, Sister Li Yue has already set, but it will take a while to get it.

However, the stone mill can be rented from the mill in the town first, and the stone mill in the mill has been empty during this time anyway. For Sister Li Yue, this time is the best time to do business, and Sister Li Yue doesn't want to let it go in vain.

So Sister Li Yue went to find the clan elder again and negotiated to rent the mill for a while.

Before Li Xianggong passed away, he also served as a scribe in the clan, recording clan affairs, and it was best to speak on weekdays, and the old man of the clan remembered Li Xianggong's affection, so he directly let Sister Li Yue use it, not to talk about rent, until Sister Li Yue made it clear that she was going to do a tofu business, so as to avoid others from gossiping, she finally collected the rent according to the custom.

Everything is well discussed.

So, early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, after the fifth watch, Sister Li Yue got up from the bed. In the dark, he lit an oil lamp and wore clothes sparsely.

"Sister, it's still dark." On the side of the bed, the five-year-old sister Xiao Yuebao rubbed her misty eyes and muttered.

"You forgot, I'm going to make tofu this morning." Sister Li Yue rubbed Xiao Bao'er's little head.

As soon as she heard the tofu, Xiao Bao'er remembered the tofu flowers, and immediately woke up, hurriedly dressing up, Sister Li Yue didn't let her follow, she almost cried, so she had to help her get dressed, and then Sister Li Yue woke up Yue'e Yuejiao and Mo Yi Mofeng.

For today's first time making tofu, the Li family sisters and brothers are excited, everyone knows in their hearts that this is related to the future livelihood of the family, so even the laziest Yuejiao heard her eldest sister's call, and didn't say a word, and got up with a bone.

Ready for everything, Sister Li Yue took her younger siblings to incense in front of her father's tablet, and then went out with a lantern of death. That's no less than fighting.

It's February, the weather is getting warmer, and the spring breeze is soft and comfortable.

After a while, the Li family and his entourage arrived at the town mill.

The mill in the town is not far from the Li family's house, on the edge of the wheat field, there is a slip of bluestone slabs on the side, every time it is time to eat, some people who like to serve rice bowls will hold rice bowls, while eating and chatting.

Sister Li Yue took out the key, opened the door of the mill, and first looked at the soybeans soaked last night, two wooden barrels, and the soybeans were already fat. It's the time for good grinding.

The sisters didn't say much, so they got to work, Sister Li Yue was apprehensive and excited at the moment, although in her previous life, such tofu, she didn't know how much she had done with Mrs. Tian, but this life was the first time, and success or failure was in this move.

The stone mill in the mill is very tall and big, Sister Li Yue and Li Moyi take turns to grind, Yuejiao adds water and beans to the side, Yue'e takes the ink wind to sort out the white linen cloth for filtration and other miscellaneous things, Xiao Yuebaoer is responsible for napping on the side, this little girl, as soon as the excitement passes, she begins to look at it again.

It took almost half an hour for the soy milk to be polished, mainly because the stone mill in this mill was too heavy, and Sister Yue and Mo Yi were too slow and hard to push, so Sister Li Yue wrote down a plan in her heart, and when the money was enough, it was best to buy snails.

Two wooden barrels of soybean milk, then mixed with warm water, hung into a bag with white linen, filtered bean dregs, and when everything is finished, the white and tender soybean milk is freshly baked.

Then the Li sisters and brothers carried the soy milk back to the kitchen of the West House, burned a large pot to cook the pulp, and used the prepared marinated pulp after the soybean milk was cooked. After a while, the soy milk condensed into tofu brain. As soon as this tofu brain comes out, you can see the quality, compared with the usual tofu brain, the fragrance is stronger, the texture is finer, and the color is whiter and tenderer.

Sister Li Yue first reserved a part of the tofu brain, and then used the marinade prepared in advance, plus mutton slices, and cooked a few bowls of big guys to check their stomachs.

"It's so fragrant, it's delicious." Xiaoyue Bao'er couldn't wait, the tofu brain hadn't come out of the pot yet, this little girl took a spoon into the pot and scooped it, her mouth was hot, and she greeted Mo Feng: "Fifth brother, come and taste it, this is the best tofu brain Bao'er has ever tasted." ”

When the sisters heard this, they all went around the pot, each of them had a bowl of belly, and their whole bodies were warm.

"Eldest sister, this tofu is definitely easy to sell, when did you learn this craft? I remember when I used to make tofu at home during the Chinese New Year, it didn't taste so good. Anything that can make money, Yue Jiaoer is very excited and asks questions.

This made Sister Li Yue hesitate for a moment, it was not easy for her to say that she had learned from others in her previous life, so she paused and said: "Actually, it's nothing, haven't you seen it, the procedures are all the same, it's Na Lu, a recipe that Daddy inadvertently got before leaving, and I haven't had a chance to put it into practice." ”

Sister Li Yue said, and then diverted the topic: "Okay, keep working." ”

When the sisters and brothers heard Sister Li Yue talk about the deceased father, they felt a little lost, and they were not interested in caring about the tofu system, so they all bored their heads and did things.

Next is the last process of making tofu, pouring the condensed tofu brain into the prepared wooden utensils, coating the pulp, and pressing off the excess water, so that after a while, the tofu is ready, and it is still hot.

The sisters looked at the whole piece of tofu that was as delicate as mutton fat and white jade, and they all grinned, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

At this time, the genius outside began to brighten up, the sound of whirring, the sound of carriages, and the sound of brushing the toilet, and the ordinary and busy day of Liuwa Town began again.
