Chapter 155: Making Tofu (Asking for Subscription)
Xiuzhi followed Xu Lingjun to the team's tofu room (canteen), she mainly wanted to follow over to see the excitement.
Good fellows, the courtyard of this brigade is already bustling with activity now!
Guo Yanzi was driving a donkey to pull the mill in front of the grinding plate.
Some mischievous bear children also go up from time to time to make trouble.
It's really annoying, and it will be honest to be kicked by the adults around you.
But these children are very realistic, and they will laugh and play in front of them after a while.
The grinding disc used by the seventh team is not small, but fortunately, they are pastures here, and there is no shortage of livestock to pull the grinding disc.
Otherwise, just pushing this big grinding disc will take a lot of young strength.
Niu Fengying took a spoon and put some soaked beans into the grinding tray from time to time.
For better results, it's best to put some water in a spoon when serving the beans.
I saw that the white soybean milk residue flowed along the rotation of the grinding disc to the bucket below with the surrounding card slots.
This is only the first step in making tofu, and it can only be made after filtration and other processes.
But this first step has already made many children drool, wanting to poke their little hands to taste the taste.
Otherwise, these bears and children are hanging around here.
"Go~ You kids go outside to play."
"And the adults are all looking at it, if you don't care, don't blame me for the small tofu you make."
Guo Yanzi really annoyed these children, and shouted at the adults watching the excitement in the yard.
He's not kidding, people in this era are very serious.
If these children are really allowed to "steal" like this, these beans are not enough.
Besides, they are only processing here, and the rest of the slag is subsidized for the pigs raised by the team.
The main reason for helping to make tofu is to earn more work.
Of course, there is a small benefit that everyone knows, but no one will say more.
Hearing Guo Yanzi say this, a few of them are a little anxious, it seems that this pot should be these ones.
"Okay, you let the third child of the Li family drive the donkey, and the fourth child of the Zhao family, you will serve beans for Feng Ying."
Uncle Dong saw this situation and directly asked the two to grind beans by themselves.
These two are the lazy guys on the team, the two who appeared in another one hundred and five episodes.
Don't say that these two people are usually lazy about anything, but this tofu making is quite positive, and they are the first batch of contestants to sign up.
After all, if you want to make tofu, you have to soak them for several hours.
However, the two of them don't have many beans, so they can only make a pot of two or three together.
People in this era kept a bit of their own land, and most of them grew food to subsidize their families.
At most, plant some soybeans on the edge of the ground, so there are not many of them.
For example, Li Laosan and Zhao Si, when they farmed, they also selfishly planted a lot of tobacco leaves.
When the soybeans on the edge of the ground were tender (edamame), they ate some of them greedily.
So when it came time to make tofu at the end of the year, they couldn't even make a pot of tofu with the remaining beans.
I can only make a pot of two or three families and eat it separately.
"Uncle Dong, I don't know how to hold beans, I can't taste water, and the food is not delicious."
Li Laosan took over Guo Tanzi's work, but the lazy man Zhao Si hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to go up to take over, so he said softly.
"You~hey~ Lanzi, come over and sheng." Uncle Dong said to Zhao's fourth daughter-in-law.
"I, I won't either~ Let's let Feng Ying's sister-in-law sheng!"
It's really not a family, and if you don't enter a family, this person can't do it.
Everyone laughed when they saw the two of them.
Xiuzhi covered her small mouth, and her little shoulders shook a few times, such an "interesting" couple is really rare.
When everyone paid attention to the grinding plate again, Xu Lingjun came to Uncle Dong with the bag of soybeans.
"Uncle Dong."
"Huh? Lingjun is here. ”
"Uncle Dong, I'll grind some tofu this year. You can register it. ”
Xu Lingjun said with a smile.
In previous years, he was alone, and he didn't keep his own land, let alone soybeans.
A few years ago, it was Uncle Dong who grinded the tofu and gave him a few pieces.
"Hey~ Lingjun, why did you grind tofu and come here!"
"Good guy~ This must have twenty catties of soybeans!"
Guo Yanzi means that Xu Lingjun can line up early if he comes early.
People in this era have to take the lead in doing any good things, for fear that they won't be able to do it when it's too late.
"Brother Guo, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
"It's not like I went to Xiuzhi's cousin's house a few days ago to visit relatives and gave some soybeans."
"I thought it would all be made into tofu, and I could put it at this time anyway."
Xu Lingjun simply made up a reason and explained.
A few days ago, he took Xiuzhi to the sixth team to visit relatives, and everyone in the seventh team knew about it.
At that time, because of the close relationship between Xiuzhi and Wang Zhenxing's family of the sixth team, many people on the team were a little surprised.
It's a small hot topic.
There are relatives like the captain of the six teams, what are these twenty catties of soybeans?
Just like their seven teams, most people will have more than ten catties of beans.
During the Chinese New Year, it is almost a pot or two pots of tofu.
The specific amount depends on the number of people in the family, generally make one pot, and make two pots when there are more people.
Of course, there are exceptions, and each family is very careful in their own land.
Counting the value of that small piece of land, this is related to the family's subsidized food.
Therefore, many people are reluctant to plant soybeans even on the ridge of the ground.
Instead, some high-yielding crops such as potatoes were planted, so that there was less tofu to be made at the end of the year.
In short, in this era of lack of food and clothing, tofu is considered a luxury in food.
"Lingjun, let's go, follow me to the house to register."
Uncle Dong finished smoking this pot of cigarettes, pinned the cigarette stick to his waist, and took Xu Lingjun to the tofu room.
At this time, Li Dapeng came out of the back room with a bucket, and this guy didn't even wear a leather jacket.
Now the tofu room is full of steam, it's too hot, it's like a sauna.
"Uncle Dong, Brother Xu~"
As soon as he opened the door, he happened to see Xu Lingjun and Uncle Dong and said hello.
It was so cold outside that he shivered.
Without further ado, he quickly ran under the grinding disc and put the empty barrel over.
Lifting the bucket full of soy milk dregs, he walked quickly to the room.
This guy's thigh is already healed, but his arm still lacks some fire.
Isn't this now hanging with one hand and carrying a bucket in the other?
Li Dapeng couldn't stay idle at home, he came to help Qin Daru.
Qin Daru is really a hard-working woman, even after marrying Li Dapeng now.
At the end of the past few years, she helped Lao Zhao make tofu, which can be regarded as a craft.
There is even a trend that the blue is better than the blue.
The tofu she ordered was more delicate and tender, the old pulp flavor was not so strong, and it tasted very good.
Although she is married, she is reluctant to work on the team.
This tofu is too tiring, Li Dapeng is a little distressed, come over to help, and fight.
"Brother Li, I'll help you carry it."
Feng Limin hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"No, my arm is fine, it's a matter of two steps."
In the middle of speaking, Li Dapeng arrived at the door.
Xu Lingjun hurriedly opened the curtain for him and let him in.
At this moment, a wave of heat and water vapor rushed to the face.
No wonder Li Dapeng took off all his cotton clothes, it's really hot here!
Xu Lingjun and Uncle Dong came to the house, said hello to Lao Zhao, and registered.
In fact, there is nothing to register, just remember whose soybeans this is, and by the way, line up for each family.
