Chapter 115: Make Tofu and Drink Soy Milk
Liu Paner smiled and replied crisply: "Make tofu!" ”
"Huh?" Li Nan was puzzled, he had never eaten tofu, "What is tofu?" In the past, we used to use beans to make bean rice, which was not as delicious as rice porridge noodles. ”
Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, you haven't eaten tofu either?" ”
Li Xiaobao shook his head, eager to try, wanting to see what his mother looked like when she made tofu, "I haven't eaten it, and I don't know what tofu is." But my mother is amazing, and the tofu made must be delicious. ”
The art of replying, Li Xiaobao has no teacher.
Liu Paner's eyes lit up, if there was no tofu in this era, would she be able to make tofu and sell it?
Thinking that this might be a way to make a fortune, Liu Pan'er smiled, "You can taste it today, and it is guaranteed to be delicious." ”
Liu Paner kept turning the small stone mill, but fortunately, the stone mill was not big and not tired. It's okay to cook it at home, but if you want to do a tofu business, you need a big stone mill.
After a while, Liu Paner grinded a large pot of beans and got two buckets of tofu residue and soy milk mixture.
Liu Paner cleaned the stone mill, waited until it dried, and then covered it with a tarpaulin to prevent dust and water.
Next, it's time to separate the tofu dregs from the soy milk.
Liu Paner set up a shelf, then tied a fine white cloth to it, and then used a scoop to pour the mixture of soy milk and bean dregs into the gauze spoonful by spoon.
There is a large basin at the bottom of the room, which holds the filtered soy milk. Sometimes, Liu Paner has to shake it and try to filter out as much soy milk as possible.
The reason why Liu Paner knows how to make tofu is because when she was a child, her neighbor was a family that made tofu. She thinks that her skin is very good, which should be because she drank soy milk every day when she was a child.
I'll make a bowl of sweet soy milk for the kids later, and she wants to drink it too.
Grandma Li saw that Liu Paner had been busy in the yard, she was very curious, she was idle, locked the bamboo door of the house, and brought her two great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters over to have a look.
Liu Paner has to cook for so many people, and Grandma Li wants to come over to help, but she can't do heavy work, but she can still light the fire and choose vegetables!
When Grandma Li came over, she saw Liu Paner squeezing the gauze hard, and milky white water kept flowing out of it.
Grandma Li was curious and asked, "Yuanqing's family, what are you doing here?" ”
When Liu Paner saw Grandma Li coming, she replied with a smile: "Grandma, I'm making tofu, wait a while." I will make delicious food and drink for you and the children. ”
Grandma Li still can't forget the soybean stewed pig's trotters, smelled the smell of beans, and asked, "Is it as delicious as soybean stewed pig's trotters?" ”
Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "The taste is different, but it is just as delicious." Now I'll tell you, you don't believe it, you can eat it in a while. ”
"Yuan Qing's family, you are a reliable person, I will believe what you say." Mrs. Li pursed her mouth and smiled, toothless, and her voice was a little slurred.
However, this does not affect Grandma Li's kindness and kindness.
Liu Paner poured the soy milk into the cauldron, a full pot, "Grandma, you help me boil water." ”
"Okay, I can do this job." Grandma Li smiled, sat on a small bench not far from the stove, and began to light the fire.
Li Nan was greedy for fun and followed his friends to play in the yard.
Li Xiaobao saw that there was no need to light the fire, so he took a branch and practiced writing on the ground.
Liu Paner saw it, thinking that when the family had more money, it was time to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Reading is very necessary at any time. It is naturally best to be able to get famous, and you can cross classes, from ordinary people to officials.
Liu Pan'er kept stirring with a spoon and reminded Grandma Li how to light the fire.
Liu Paner went to the house and took a few big bowls, put sugar in them, and waited until the soy milk boiled for a while, then scooped some cooked soy milk from it and poured it into the bowl, "Grandma, this is soy milk, it is very delicious." ”
Grandma Li smiled and nodded, "I smell it, and I saw you put sugar just now." It's a precious thing, and of course it's delicious. ”
Sweet is delicious, this is the most direct understanding of the poor people to be delicious.
Liu Paner didn't explain too much, and brought these soy milk to the bamboo table, cooled it, and drank it later.
Now she's busy using gypsum water and ordering tofu.
Liu Paner spread a fine white cage cloth in the empty basket, and then carefully poured the brine containing gypsum water into the boiled soybean milk. In the other hand, hold a large spoon and stir constantly.
Grandma Li was curious, and stood up to watch with relish.
I saw that the soybean milk in the pot actually formed pieces of white things, and with Liu Paner's stirring, there were more and more, and the whole pot was white.
Grandma Li wanted to ask more, but saw that Liu Pan'er was sweating on her forehead, and she was using a spoon to quickly put these white things into a large basket covered with gauze.
Liu Pan'er quickly smoothed out the tender tofu in the cage cloth, then wrapped it, then covered it with a wooden board, and pressed another stone.
Wait until the stone squeezes out the excess water inside, and the tofu is ready.
Liu Pan'er was a little tired, Li Nan took a small handkerchief and wiped her mother's sweat, "Mother, look at your sweat, Anan will wipe it for you." ”
Liu Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled, squatted down, tilted her head, and let Li Nan wipe her sweat, "Thank you, Anan, let's go, mother, the soy milk is ready, let's drink sweet soy milk." ”
At this time, Grandma Li finally couldn't help but ask, "Yuanqing's family, what is that cloth wrapped in?" How did that juice suddenly turn white? It's still a piece, and it looks pretty good. ”
Liu Paner replied: "Grandma, I'm making tofu." Squishy and slippery. Whether it's cooking soup or cooking, it's all delicious. ”
As soon as she heard "soft", Grandma Li was immediately satisfied, "It's good to be soft, I don't have teeth now." When you eat green vegetables, you have to chop them into pieces, and when you eat them, you can only sip them. Hey, it doesn't taste good to eat, I especially miss when I was young, I had teeth, and everything I ate was delicious! ”
Liu Paner brought over a bowl of sweet soy milk, "Grandma, take a sip, it tastes good." ”
The children each had a small bowl, and Liu Paner and Grandma Li each had a big bowl, drinking sweet soy milk.
Mrs. Li praised, "It's delicious, fragrant and sweet." ”
Liu Pan'er nodded, "Yes, there is no milk, grinding beans and burning soy milk to drink, the effect of nourishing the body is almost the same, and they are all very good." ”
It gradually became hot outside, and Liu Paner began to pack up the things outside, and began to beckon Grandma Li to go into the cave to cool off.
Grandma Li also felt that it was boring to go home, and she could help watch the children by staying here.
After Liu Paner cleaned up the house, she began to teach the children to read.
The great-grandsons and great-grandsons of Mrs. Li's family also followed suit. Children learn as long as they want to, they learn quickly. Under Li Xiaobao's good example, several children learned seriously.
