Chapter 22: Soybeans

"Zhu'er, what kind of vinegar moth are you, it's nothing to look at? Is this vinegar? Approaching the jar containing the vinegar moth, Ning Lin asked suspiciously.

"It's not vinegar yet, you have to add something else and ferment it for more than a month." Shaking his head with a smile, Yun Zhu looked at the fermented vinegar jar in the jar, and only felt very happy in his heart, because this step is done, which means that the vinegar will definitely be successful.

After preparing the jar, liquor, sugar and mountain spring water, Yunzhu placed the vinegar moth and liquor in the rinsed jar according to the proportion, and then stirred well, and added a layer of lid on top of the jar.

"Brother Ning Lin, help me move to the house?" Because there were several jars, it would be more troublesome for Yunzhu to move by himself, Ning Lin heard Yunzhu call himself, responded with a smile, and then stepped forward to help.

The jar was moved to the middle of the house and placed in a corner, and in order to confuse it with soy sauce, Yunzhu found something to mark on the jar.

"Pearl, why do you have so many strange ideas in your head?" Ning Lin looked at Yun Zhu's actions and said with a surprised face.

"Hey...... It's okay to figure it out. Yunzhu naturally can't say that she is not the original Yunzhu at all, she is from the modern society thousands of years later.

If you say this, it is estimated that you will not be tied up and sink into the river!

After placing the jar containing vinegar, Yunzhu opened each jar where the broad bean watercress was placed, stirred the watercress inside, and then moved the jar and placed it in the courtyard.

"Pearl, what is this for?" Ning Lin was willing to work as a coolie, so if he had any questions, Yunzhu would answer them patiently.

"The process of fermenting soy sauce has to be exposed to the sun, so that the soy sauce will taste better." After answering with a smile, Yun Zhu sat on the stool next to the mountain spring water, she was already thirsty for this busy work, so she took advantage of the water to rest for a while, after all, she would have to ferment the mash after a while.

"Brother Ning Lin, thank you for helping me, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be noon if I finished doing this myself." After taking a sip of water and wiping the sweat on his forehead, Yunzhu said with a grateful face.

"Hey, it's not a trouble, thank you, if you thank you, these things will be made in the future, just leave some for me and my father, remember to be cheaper!" Ning Lin responded with a smile, and also took some water and drank it, the sour and spicy shredded potatoes he made when Yunzhu came last time, he still remembers it!

"How can I take you money? It's definitely free for you to taste! Yunzhu never thought that he would collect money from the Ning family father and son, after all, they helped him too much, and if he didn't say anything else, he said that every time he said that he was going to the town, Uncle Ning agreed without saying a word, and he should thank them.

"Well, these things cost money, and you have spent a lot of energy, so you should collect money." Ning Yi's voice came, he had just finished the things in the house, and was going to come out to see how Yunzhu and Ning Lin were busy, but they heard the conversation between the two children in progress.

"Uncle Ning." Standing up and saying hello to Ning Yi, Yun Zhu saw him waving at him, and then sat down again. "One yard to one yard, if I am asked to collect money, then I will trouble you in the future, and I will have to give money."

Yunzhu has made up his mind, he must not accept the money of the Ning family's father and son, even if it is nothing.

Hearing Yunzhu say this, Ning Yi shook his head helplessly, although he said that he was following Yunzhu, he had his own thoughts in his heart.

After resting for a while, Yunzhu got up and started to do the mash stuff, and Ning Lin naturally followed to help, "Uncle Ning, have you finished eating the mash last time?" I deliberately made more this time, one is for you to eat, but to ferment vinegar moths, don't be polite to me! ”

"You left a jar directly last time, there are still a lot left, I told Ning Lin according to what you said, sometimes mixed with cold water, it really relieves the heat when you drink it!" Ning Yi responded with a smile, sometimes when he catches up with anyone to see a doctor, he gives people a drink of cold water mash, and as a result, the villagers ask him what it is, if it weren't for Yunzhu's explanation, he wouldn't be able to let people know, but I'm afraid that this will give Yunzhu another more market.

"That's okay, that's not enough, you're talking." In response, Yunzhu put all the steamed glutinous rice into the jar, inserted the hole with her fingers, and began to sprinkle koji into it, the last time she went to the town, she bought some jars, koji and sugar, but unfortunately, she did not find moldy broad beans.

After everything was done, Yun Zhu rested at Ning Yi's house for a while, then took some mash mixed with cold water and walked towards the Yun family's field.

On this hot day, Old Man Yun is only afraid that he is working in the field with his sons, there has been some drought recently, and the weeds in the field grow very quickly, only by taking advantage of the noon, those weeds can be removed to ensure that the weeds will be killed by the scorching sun and cannot be revived.

Sure enough, when Yunzhu was close to the ground, Old Man Yun and Yunzhu's three uncles were busy in the field, and Grandma Fang was sitting in the shade of the big tree, obviously, she couldn't stand it on such a hot day.

"Grandma." Coming to the shade of the tree first, Yun Zhu greeted Fang Clan, and when he saw Yun Zhu, a trace of surprise flashed on Fang Clan's face.

"Why are you here on a hot day?" Looking at the jar in Yun Zhu's hand, Fang Clan said suspiciously.

"It's so hot, I'll bring some water to you, your grandfather and uncles." Responding with a smile, Yun Zhu opened the lid of the jar in his hand, then brought Fang's bowl and poured her a bowl of water, "Grandma, you take a sip of this water to quench your thirst." ”

Hearing Yun Zhu say this, Fang Clan reached out and took the water, and brought it to his mouth, a faint fragrance came, making Fang Clan more and more confused, but looking at Yun Zhu's face of hope, Fang Clan still drank the water in the bowl.

A feeling of coolness hit, Fang Shi suddenly felt a lot cooler, she glanced at Yun Zhu, and saw Yun Zhu get up and wave at Old Man Yun and the others in the field, motioning for them to come over and drink water.

Hearing the sound, the old man Yun, who was busy weeding, looked up and saw that it was Yunzhu, and the old man Yun greeted his three sons, and then took them to the bottom of the tree.

One person poured a bowl of water, Yun Zhu smiled and asked them to drink it, just like the Fang clan, everyone immediately felt a lot cooler after drinking.

"Kid, what kind of water are you? Why is it different from what we usually drink? Old Man Yun poured another bowl and asked Yun Zhu while drinking slowly.

"Grandpa, this is what I accidentally knew when I went to Dr. Ning's house to get medicine for my mother, but although this thing tastes good, it is inconvenient to get it, I have to go to the mountains to get mountain spring water, I saw that it was hotter than usual today, so I cheekily got some water from Dr. Ning."

It's not yet time to be exposed, so Yunzhu can't say that this is the mountain spring water mixed with mash, she knows that if she says this, first, no one will ask Ning Yi, and secondly, no one is embarrassed to always go to Ning Yi's house to get mountain spring water, after all, it is not easy for people to lead it down.

Except, of course, this cheekiness of oneself.

After listening to Yun Zhu, the old man Yun responded with a smile, but no longer spoke, although this thing is delicious and thirst-quenching, but after all, he has to go to other people's places to get mountain spring water, and it is really not worth it to take a personal favor for the sake of drinking.

Seeing that the old man Yun was like this, Yun Zhu's heart smiled secretly, she knew that her words had an effect, although she deceived her grandfather a little unwillingly, but now there is no way, when she can be exposed in the future, she will definitely honor her grandmother and the master.

After drinking the water and resting for a while, Old Man Yun took Yun Zhu's uncles down to the field again, perhaps because they felt a lot cooler after drinking the water, even Fang Shi went to work in the field with him, leaving Yun Zhu looking at things under the shade of the trees.

Looking at the busy family members in the field, Yunzhu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in her previous life, her grandfather and grandmother's family also had land, although it was not very much, but it gave her a lot of joy in her childhood.

At that time, in addition to corn, there were peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, and tomatoes in the field of my grandfather's house, and in the front yard of my grandfather's house, I went to pick small cucumbers to eat, and behind the house, there were several rows of plum trees, and when the autumn came, the trees were full of fruits, and she sat on the trees and picked the biggest and reddest ones to eat.

Thinking of her childhood in her previous life, Yun Zhu's face showed a faint smile, that was the only good memory in her previous life, because later, her mother died, and the so-called father abandoned their mother and daughter a few years ago, so she became an 'orphan', although she had grandma and grandpa to protect her, but after all, they were old, and sometimes in places they couldn't see, they were often bullied by those uncles, aunts, aunts and uncles.

The circles under her eyes were a little red, Yun Zhu blinked, she was very glad that God gave her a chance to live again, so that she came to another world, although everything was very similar to her previous life, but she believed that she would be able to live a different life from her previous life.

In order to ease his emotions, Yunzhu took two steps forward, so that he could see both in the shade of the trees and what was planted in the ground.

Grandpa's field is not planted with corn, but soybeans, Yunzhu looked at the unripe soybeans in front of her, and saw that all the silver in front of her eyes was white flowers, because she thought of the raw material that could replace moldy broad beans to make soy sauce, that is, soybeans!

You must know that this is a good thing, which can not only brew soy sauce, but also make various soy products, such as soy milk, tofu brain, tofu and other foods.

If the whole village grows soybeans, it will not cost too much money to buy soybeans to make soy sauce in the future.

Just when Yun Zhu was thinking about a bright future, her eyes suddenly fell on a few of the soybean seedlings, her face suddenly changed, and she stood up and shouted at the old man Yun in the field!
