Chapter 074: Grinding Soy Milk to Make Tofu (Second Watch)

That's right, you have to dig a moat, the width should be ten meters, the depth must be four or five meters, right?

The mud dug out of the moat is just used to build the city wall, etc., the city wall needs a foundation, right?

There are also moats, there must be suspension bridges, and if there are suspension bridges, there must be pulleys and other equipment......

The more Lu Qingqing thought about it, the more he felt that there were so many things, it was so much that his head was about to hurt.

I'm just a farmer, why bother about building a city!

Lu gently grabbed his hair, and wanted to shake it off.

She was mournful for a while, grabbed the drawing, and found the wind in a hurry: "Come on, come on, this is my train of thought, let me tell you about it...... Pick-and-pull pull-pull...... Do you understand, what do you think, don't be shy, talk about it...... Well, you can think slowly by yourself, ask the old people and ask everyone, and then we will discuss any ideas together, and you will preside over the construction of the city!"

Lu patted his buttocks lightly and walked away with a clear breeze, leaving Feng standing in place with a confused face.

Lu Qingqing, who became the shopkeeper, didn't feel guilty at all, this wasn't to cultivate talents!

As far as the search for the water veins is concerned, Feng has done a good job, and she has considered things more comprehensively, and she is very optimistic about him.

As for herself, food is her destination.

She moved out of the large stone mill she had made earlier.

This stone mill is not particularly large, the diameter is half a meter, the upper and lower two white grinding discs with the return point add up to more than 100 pounds, the handle she found an old wood, polished particularly smooth and comfortable, under the grinding disc to create a very strong tripod. When this big guy moved out and swung there, it felt very solemn.

The construction site is half an hour away from the original five adobe houses, in order not to let everyone rush to and fro, and in order not to disturb the Chongming Bird family, now everyone does not go there, just eat and sleep on the edge of the construction site, and there is no inconvenience in using water, anyway, not far from here is the rift valley, and it is very easy to get some water in the rift valley, just save a little use.

Lu Qing came out at night to study and cultivate, and during the day, he was also mixed on the construction site, so this stone mill was naturally brought over.

Anyway, it has not been used since it was made from a stone mill, and everyone is not curious about what it is for, because everyone's attention is on what to do with it, young chief.

The stone mill is placed under a straw hut that everyone has worked together to make, and in addition to the stone mill, there are two stoves.

The stove is not a traditional farmer's stove, but a well made of stone and mud, with a large stone pot enlarged on the top, and a hole left below to burn the fire, of course, the firewood in it is not directly placed on the ground to burn, but a compartment, the fire is burned on the top of the compartment, and the ventilation is ventilated below, and the ashes burned out fall through the hole in the compartment, which is easy to take care of.

At this time, Yitu was cooking something on a stove, and Lu gently leaned over to look at the yellow soybeans in the stone pot: "It's not ripe yet, burn it back." ”

"Hey. She said that the young chief said that if she wanted to make a soy sauce sauce, she would first boil the beans, and she didn't know what it was, and the young chief attached great importance to it, so she looked at the fire by herself and didn't dare to slack off.

The other women were preparing lunch at the long table.

The five old men suddenly became enlightened through Lu Qing's guidance on the structure of mortise and tenon joints, but after pondering for two days, they began to frantically make wood, just like opening up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra.

This wooden bench is the result of their many failures.

They split the trees into plates, and the plates were connected by mortise and tenon joints to form a wide tabletop, which was two meters long and was too soft in the middle, so the table had eight legs and was very stable.

The five old and strong ones were going to run to the doors and windows after finishing the table, but they were gently stopped by Lu, she combined things, or let them get a trailer first, simple transportation is very important in the construction process, and it is a problem to transport this mud around.

Lu lightly glanced at the four women - Er Shi was not there, Er Shi was still very persistent in rubbing the thread, they were all his own people here, and Er Shi, the guard, did not need to follow Lu Qing lightly all the time. Among the women who came this time, Ben's woman Sanyu, Lu gently asked Sanyu to accompany him to plant.

Lu gently carried a bucket of soaked soybeans to the stone grinding edge, and beckoned to a woman whose hair was tied tightly and coiled up, and tied it with thin rattan. The next thirty of them had all bathed in the Rift - far downstream, of course, from the Twin Birds, and everyone was quite clean, but not many could get their hair so neat.

"Come and help me. ”

The woman was a little surprised, then excited, and came over solemnly: "Young chief, what do you want me to do?"

"What's your name?"

"My name is Mud. ”

Lu raised his eyebrows lightly? What kind of mother would give her daughter the name "mud"? But think about the names of the people here are strange, and the names of one soil and two stones are not very casual? There are also those who are directly called legs, and it is nothing to call them one mud.

"Your name goes well with a piece of soil. Lu gently gave her the large wooden spoon he made homemade, "You can help me scoop the beans into this hole." ”

That's right, Lu lightly wants to make tofu.

She held the handle of the stone mill and pushed the grinding disc up with ease, and the soaked soybeans continued to fall into the feed, and after a while, the milky white slurry water flowed out between the upper and lower grinding discs, into the grooves of the lower grinding disc, and then into the clean wooden barrel where the outlet was waiting.

A faint beany smell permeated the air.

Yimu added soybeans very cleverly, and his movements were very neat, but he was also uneasy, "Young chief, let's change it." "Lu Qing's work is obviously more tiring.

Lu shook his head gently: "It's okay, I'll practice my arm strength." ”

Since she had the power of the Golden Claw, she has a lot more strength, and it is not too easy to push and grind, and she enjoys the process of grinding soybeans very much.

There are not many soybeans prepared by Lu lightly, and those soybeans in the rift valley, including those that have been collected in the barrel and those that are not yet ripe outside, add up to only 400 catties, and at most half of them can only be divided into half to eat, and the rest must be kept for seeds, and the half she takes out to eat still wants to make soy sauce and miso, and there are naturally not many of them used to make tofu.

This time, she only soaked a few catties for everyone to try.

After grinding quickly, Lu gently tilted the entire grinding disc very vigorously to let the soy milk flow cleanly and not let go of a drop of juice. Then she put a strainer cloth over another clean wooden barrel.
