Chapter 177: Vegetable Tofu

There are three square soybeans here, although there are not many, but it is more than enough for only the old couple of the Qi family and Lin Qingqing to eat.

"When you pick edamame, you should pick it from the stalk, and don't tear it up, because the pod will be bad." The old lady of the Qi family sat on the stool and said.

"Old woman, I know."

After speaking, Lin Qingqing clasped his two hands, formed a bow with his index finger, and twisted the soybean pods off the vine with the thumb and index finger of both hands.

And this old lady Qi, looking at Lin Qingqing's skillful movements and skills, still opened the bow with her left and right hands at the same time, so she no longer worried about her. She looked at Lin Qingqing who was working, and felt a little happy in her heart, she had never had children under her knees, but she felt as if she had a daughter.

Thinking like this, in fact, the old man of the Qi family also thinks so. In Lin Qingqing's body, there is no such arrogance and nobody in the eyes of the eldest lady, and she is extraordinarily polite and industrious.

Such a woman is incomparably consistent with the image that the two of them expect their daughter to have, so it's no wonder they care so much for Lin Qingqing.

With Lin Qingqing's labor, the old couple of the Qi family also began to have the energy to plant a few more clods of soil.

In particular, they found that Lin Qingqing learned things very quickly, as long as he taught them, which made them less pressured to increase their cultivation area.

"It's a little cabbage."

"It's a gherkin."

"It's a white radish."

"It's chrysanthemum."

……

Lin Qingqing walked in the field while counting the types of crops planted in the field. For her, such days can be regarded as happy, and she can still hum songs like this and do something she likes.

It seems that the old couple of the Qi family seems to be overjoyed, and they are getting more and more types of crops. However, thanks to this, Lin Qingqing eats a lot more every day.

After watering these crops, Lin Qingqing went to the field to pick the soybeans.

The edamame is no longer harvested, and in the past few days, the edamame has gradually matured, and the pods have become very old, and they are no longer harvested as edamame.

However, the soybean harvest is much easier, and with a twist, the soybean falls off the vine with the pods.

Lin Qingqing received them together, and then threw them to the barnyard. Lay them out again, let them dry for a few more days, and then they're ready to put away.

"Ahh Lin Qingqing picked up a bucket of dried soybeans and walked towards the house.

In the house, the old couple of the Qi family are working together.

The old lady of the Qi family is responsible for boiling the soy milk, while the old man of the Qi family is responsible for pressing the soy milk with brine into cubes of tofu. And Lin Qingqing is naturally responsible for grinding.

Well, no, she just needs to add the soaked soybeans to the stone mill slowly. Naturally, a little donkey is in charge of the grinding thing.

Although it is said that the old couple of the Qi family have kindness to Lin Qingqing, it may be to the extent that they let Lin Qingqing be a cow and a horse to repay him, but they don't need to fight so hard at present.

After pouring the soaked soybeans into the ground, Lin Qingqing went to help the second elder and do some errands.

In this village, there is no store dedicated to selling tofu, after all, there are only less than 100 people, and it is difficult to support the cost of selling tofu. Therefore, when people in the village want to eat tofu, they generally soak their own soybeans in water and grind them out with their own stone mills.

It can be regarded as a natural, healthy and nutritious food. It's just that the labor consumed is also very huge. People often say that there are three hardships in the world, supporting the boat, striking iron, and selling tofu.

From this, you can see how tired it is to make tofu. However, tofu is delicious enough that it is what makes people love it so much.

However, on this day, Lin Qingqing decided to show his hand, otherwise his identity as a traverser would be very high.

However, the so-called showing a hand is really just showing a hand. Lin Qingqing just brought in some green vegetables, cut them into shreds, and told the old couple of the Qi family that they could add these things to the tofu and make them into vegetable tofu to eat.

"Vegetable tofu?" Hearing Lin Qingqing's words, the old couple of the Qi family were very puzzled, they had lived for decades, and they had been making tofu for more than a hundred years, and they had never heard of any vegetable tofu.

"It's vegetable tofu, it's very simple, just throw the vegetables in it." Lin Qingqing gestured, and the second elder explained. However, although the second elder already knew the process and method, he still didn't do it, after all, he made something for half his life, and suddenly a young man told you that it was more delicious to do this, and this kind of thing really made the old couple of the Qi family not very acceptable.

Eventually, though, they did. As Lin Qingqing said, the process is very simple, just when cooking soy milk, add cut vegetables, and then the procedure is no different from ordinary tofu.

When the old couple of the Qi family did it according to Lin Qingqing's method, all they got was all ordinary-looking, white tofu. Where did all the food go? This question appeared in the minds of the old couple of the Qi family.

"You have to cut it to see the difference, the dishes are all on the inside, and you can't see the outside." Lin Qingqing said.

And the old couple of the Qi family didn't believe Lin Qingqing's statement very much.

"When I pressed the tofu, the vegetable leaves were obviously still some outside, so why did they suddenly run inside?" The old man of the Qi family said bluntly.

"Because you pressed it, the tofu was pressed tightly, didn't the fluffy leaves run inside?" Lin Qingqing said.

Sure enough, when the old lady of the Qi family cut it, she found that in addition to the surrounding layer of no vegetable leaves, the tofu cubes inside were evenly covered with vegetable leaves.

Because it had already been cooked, the old lady of the Qi family directly took the chopsticks and put a small piece of vegetable tofu in her mouth.

Then, she froze, keeping the same motion that had been put in her mouth.

"How?" Seeing that his wife didn't react for a long time, the old man of the Qi family next to him asked suspiciously.

But the old lady of the Qi family still didn't move, although her wife had urged her several times.

"Is it that amazing?" The old man of the Qi family said a little strangely, and then casually put a piece of vegetable tofu into his mouth.

Immediately, even he himself stopped.

After a while, the two of them started chewing at the same time.

"How?" Lin Qingqing asked with some expectation.

"Hmm." Old man Qi swallowed the food in his mouth. "One word, tender, put it in your mouth, you don't dare to bite it, but after biting, the aroma of that dish and the fragrance of tofu are very strong."

"And." The old lady of the Qi family also said: "It is very soft and there is no heavy oil and salt, it is very light, which is very suitable for old people like us." ”

After saying that, the old couple looked at each other for a moment, and then they laughed happily.

Hearing the comments of the old couple of the Qi family, Lin Qingqing also smiled happily. She made this suggestion in the hope that the old couple could be happy. Now, they can be happy, and she is very happy.
