The three brothers were busy for most of the morning before they made a rough model, and they were disgusted by Ye Yuran.

But looking at their sweaty appearances, she also knew that they were doing their best: "Use it like this first, and when it's finished, you can continue to polish." ”

The three brothers lifted the stone mill to a higher place, and built a lot of stones underneath, which was somewhat different.

Ye Yuran called a few daughters-in-law over and rinsed them with water, so she asked them to scoop the soaked soybeans over.

Everyone was curious to see how this thing would be used.

Especially Zhu San, this thing was created by them, but they really didn't know what effect it could have.

Ye Yuran prepared water for the soybeans, scooped them with a spoon, poured them into the middle of the small room, and urged a son to come over to help grind.

Zhu Wu hurriedly jumped over: "Ouch, my mother, it's really hard to push,"

"Nonsense, grinding is the hardest job. Ye Yuran glared at him and asked him to continue.

As the soybeans of the water enter the middle of the two round cakes through the hole above, they move outward along the grain and are ground as they roll over the two layers to form a powder.

In a few moments, a white liquid flowed out between the two round cakes.

The eyes of the group widened in amazement.

"That's awesome!"

"This, this, this...... This is coming out?!"

"It's so white. ”

"Mother, this is so white. ”

"Hehehehe...... It's fun, I want to try it too. ”

......

Ye Yuran: "......" really wants to complain.

You want to try it because you think it's new, right?

When you try a few more times and think that this thing can't be pushed, you won't try it.

Anyway, Ye Yuran knew that she would definitely not be able to push herself.

Sure enough, after a few people tried it, they all wanted to snatch the beans, so that few people were willing to grind.

However, she said "If you want to eat tofu, you have to push", Zhu San, Zhu Si, and Zhu Wu couldn't run away, and took turns to help the women of the Zhu family push and grind.

Zhu Wu was tired enough: "This toy is good, it's too tiring, it would be better if it wasn't so tired." ”

"Yes, replace the person with a snail, or find some other way to save effort, and it won't be so tired. Ye Yuran said, "But don't look at me, I don't have anything to do." ”

"But didn't my mother just propose two good solutions?" Zhu Wu was a little confused.

"I mean, you should use your brains more and don't keep asking me. I'm not a fairy, I know everything. ”

It's a fairy, and Gan Yixian, who is "looking" hard, sneezed: "Ah Qiu-nonsense, Aunt Zhu is bluffing people again, I'm a god, and I don't know what this toy is." ”

Originally, there were not many soaked beans, Ye Yuran found a special cloth bag, took Liu's, Liu'er, and Lin'er in turn, packed the slurry, closed the bag, and squeezed it out hard.

When squeezing, don't forget to put a wooden barrel underneath to catch it, don't spill it.

After squeezing it once, put water and water to squeeze it again, and it's almost there.

"Okay, it's time to boil. ”

After the raw soybean milk was squeezed, Ye Yuran let it be boiled in the pot with confidence.

Several daughters-in-law watched from the sidelines, and while she cooked, she skimmed off the foam floating on it, and reminded them that this thing must be scooped off, don't be lazy, otherwise there will be problems with the tofu made.

This side is cooking, and on the other side she teaches them how to make "gypsum brine".

Gypsum is not difficult to find, this thing can protect against insects and mice, and some people will prepare some. So take it and grind it into powder, add some water to make a paste.

"When the soy milk is boiled to this extent, it's almost there. Ye Yuran scooped a little out and tasted it.

Several sons, daughters-in-law, and grandsons all looked at each other, and she was a little helpless, so she could only take the bowl over and share a little bit by herself.

"Don't call me stingy, this time I'm making tofu, although there is a lot left, but it's not enough for a few of you to share. ”

"There's no sugar at home, the taste is a little worse, you can add a little jam, if there is sugar, it tastes better." ”

Before she could finish speaking, she was already blowing and drinking in small sips.

"Hiss, delicious. ”

"Mm-hmm, it smells so good. ”

"It's so delicious. ”

"I think it's better with jam, sweet and sour. ”

"I'll give it a try, too. ”

......

A group of people, you try it, I'll try it, and they also drank a piece of joy in the small half bowl of soy milk.

Ye Yuran saw it and couldn't help laughing: "Since you like it, soak some more beans and grind soy milk tomorrow morning to drink." ”

This idea was approved by everyone.

The soy milk in the pot was almost ready, Ye Yuran put it in a large wooden barrel, began to pour gypsum into it, and ordered tofu: "This is the key, if this part is not done, the tofu will not be formed, and there will be no tofu to eat at that time." So you have to remember ......"

While talking about the points to note, gently stir well with a spoon.

Soon after, they could see the soy milk curdling into tofu flowers little by little.

One by one, they shouted: "It's amazing!"

"You just brought your bowl. Before preparing to put it in the container and press the tofu, Ye Yuran also gave each of them a spoonful of tofu flowers for them to taste.

This time, there was no need for her to say that someone had already taken the initiative to put some jam into it after tasting it.

"Delicious. ”

"Mm-hmm, this one is delicious too. ”

"Mother, if you have time, let's make tofu flowers and eat them. ”

Ye Yuran didn't want to spend this kind of effort, and said: "If you want to eat, make it yourself, don't keep letting me do it." ”

Then wrap it in a wooden tray basin and gently scoop the condensed tofu flowers into it, reminding them that they must be light-hearted, this thing is broken, and the tofu will not be able to be done.

"That's why I said that tofu is not easy to make, you must be patient, and every step is very important. ”

"After the tofu flower is ready, it should be packed and covered as quickly as possible, and it should not exceed the work of a cup of tea. ”

After it was full, Ye Yuran wrapped the tofu flower in a bag and covered it with a wooden board.

"It's pressed, that's pretty much it, just wait for it to take shape. ”

"Time, it probably takes a cup of tea, but the specifics also depend on the state of soy milk. ”

"I can't say for sure, but you'll know when you have experience doing it a few more times. ”

"If you want tofu to be older, put more gypsum, and if you want to make tofu into dried tofu, that is, to make the tofu dry, press it for a longer time to press out the water inside. ”

......

During the waiting time, Ye Yuran also explained to them the points of attention for making tofu, and would casually name one of them to answer the questions she had talked about before.

Ye Yuran estimated the time, reached out to uncover a board, exposed the seam, and touched the feel.

"Well, it's almost, come, help me dismantle. ”
