When she washed her hands and came out of the bathroom, she saw Wang Ailan scooping out a large piece of milled soybeans from the pot with a spatula, and then putting the milled soybeans on the cutting board and beating them, which looked particularly difficult.

So she stepped forward to Wang Ailan and asked, "Aunt Wang, do you need my help?" ”

"Yes, come over and I'll teach you."

"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Wang Ailan.

When she walked to Wang Ailan's side, she said to Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, what do you say, I will do what you say." ”

"It's very simple, you beat the milled soybeans for two or three minutes, and then shape them into bricks, so that they are easy to store."

Shi Qinghuan said hello after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she picked up the milled soybean and began to beat.

When she was about to break the milled soybeans into sauce cubes, she asked Wang Ailan, "Aunt Wang, why do you have to beat the sauce cubes?" Wouldn't it be nice to just turn them into bricks? ”

"Of course not, our ancestors have been doing it according to this step for generations, so we must also follow their steps, otherwise we won't be able to make authentic Northeast sauce."

"I see, how do you see my sauce cube beating?"

After Wang Ailan heard Shi Qinghuan's words, she looked at the sauce block in Shi Qinghuan's hand, and saw that the sauce block that Shi Qinghuan beat was of a special standard.

So she said to Shi Qinghuan: "It's good, it's not bad to fight with me." ”

"Then you leave the work of breaking the sauce cube to me, you know that I have a lot of strength, so this little work is nothing to me."

"Okay, then I'll work hard for you, I'll go get the newspaper and come over to make the sauce cubes."

Shi Qinghuan nodded after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she put the beaten sauce aside, and then scooped out a piece of crushed soybeans from the pot and continued to beat.

After more than an hour, Shi Qinghuan smashed the last piece of sauce, and then she moved her wrist that was a little sore, and asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, how long does this sauce block have to ferment before it can be used for sauce?" ”

"Two or three months, our sauce is a day regulation, generally the 19th or 29th of the second lunar month, if you can't remember the time of the sauce, just put the sauce in my house, and when the sauce is served, I will call you to come to my house to make the sauce together."

"Okay, then I'll put the sauce cube at your house, by the way, the New Year will be more than a month away, do we have a holiday for the New Year?"

"Of course there is, civil servants like you have half a month's vacation during the New Year, but skilled workers are not as good as you, they only have a week's vacation."

"That's also very good, you must know that the factory employees have fewer holidays, so the benefits of our research institute are very good."

"After you compare my heart much more comfortably, otherwise I always think about your Uncle Yong's seven-day vacation, and I only feel panicked in my heart."

Shi Qinghuan smiled after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she asked Wang Ailan, "Aunt Wang, are you going back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year this year?" ”

"Don't go back, there is no one in our hometown anymore, and besides, the vacation is too short, and I can't stay in my hometown for two days, so I won't toss, what about you, will you go back to Beijing for the New Year?"

"I don't know yet, it's mainly up to my brother, if he goes back, I'll go back."
