Chen Miao still asked, "Can I go to the bookstore in the county seat the day after tomorrow to open?" ”

"It should be after the fifth day of junior high school, right? I haven't been to the county bookstore for several years. ”

Chen Miao nodded, it's okay anyway, go on the fifth day of the new year, and ask Chen Jiang if they have already left.

To be honest, it wouldn't be too dangerous if you stayed here, but if you go out, you really don't know.

Anyway, this year the little devil surrendered, but it will be several years before the real victory.

After going out, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were already cutting vegetables, although they left ten catties of meat and went into the water, but they were reluctant to eat meat.

"Done?" Zhao Xiaoyun asked.

"Done? I'm only learning thirty words, and I'm so far from finishing. ”

"Thirty words? I didn't learn a word. ”

Chen Miao smiled and sat down to light the fire.

"Xiaofeng's family, let's fry cabbage, I've stewed blood sausage and vermicelli with sauerkraut."

"Fifth aunt, I can eat anything." This is the first time I have eaten out in two years here, and even my mother's family has never eaten.

"I'm going to eat in a while."

It's almost five o'clock now, so since you invite people to dinner, you should go early.

Dinner was pretty generous right now. Steamed egg custard for the children. There was no separate table, just one table to eat.

Yun Shan Yunxin ate two pieces of blood sausage, and Chen Miao also felt that it tasted very good.

"Komine's family eats meat." Shen Wufu's family married Chen Miao a large piece of braised pork, which was actually the meat from the stewed pig's neck.

"Fifth aunt, I don't want to eat fatty meat. You eat, don't clip me. Chen Miao hurriedly picked it up and put it into the bowl of Shen Wufu's house.

"You girl."

"Fifth aunt, I don't lack meat to eat. I love sauerkraut stew. ”

"You didn't pickle the sauerkraut? Take some back with you later. ”

"Fifth aunt, I've pickled it, and I can already eat it."

"Don't be embarrassed, come to my house for dinner and eat more." Zhao Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"Why am I embarrassed? By the way, Aunt Five, you can make tofu, right? I have a stone mill at home, and there are a lot of soybeans, I originally wanted to make it a year ago, but when the fifth uncle went out, I was not in the mood to do it. Anyway, it's to eat at home, and it's not too late to do it in the New Year. ”

Shen Wufujia nodded, "I will do it, when do you want to do it?" I'll do it for you. ”

"Fifth aunt, wouldn't it be bad for you to work in the New Year?"

"Silly girl, how can a countryman like us be so exquisite? It's okay. ”

"Okay, you have to soak the beans, right? I'll soak it tonight, tomorrow my two sisters will come to my father and mother to pay New Year's greetings, we have to go over for dinner, what can I bring to them? A few pieces of tofu for a family should also do. ”

"Okay, why not? That's all for now. ”

"What if I thought I would learn to sell tofu in the future?"

"It's okay, it's better than you farming, you can make money by selling tofu, and the remaining tofu residue can also raise pigs, in fact, it's a good job, it's the current war and horses, people are panicking, it may not work, you can try."

You start by soaking a liter of soybeans. Tomorrow, ask your fifth uncle to make you a tofu plate, otherwise you won't be able to press it.

Your fifth uncle's carpentry skills are not good, if your father is fine, it won't take an hour to do it. ”

Shen Wufu smiled: "The carpenter's craftsmanship is not good. But it's no problem to make a tofu plate, I'll make it for you tomorrow before you use it. ”

"Fifth uncle, don't worry, try it tomorrow."

After dinner, Shen Jianchun and his family had to send their mother three, and in the end, Chen Miao did not refuse.

The first thing I do when I get home is to burn the fire, which has already burned in the afternoon, in fact, it is their house that burns so many fires, and ordinary people use fire for three meals a day.

There are candles lit in the house, and stories are put for them, so that they can stay honest.

The next day, I got up and washed the soybeans with warm water, and the cloth I washed last night was also dry, waiting for someone to come and help.

The shrimp gnocchi soup made for the two children, beaten with egg drops, and the two of them were very satisfied.

Everything was packed up, and Shen Wufu's family and Zhao Xiaoyun came over with their two children.

"Fifth aunt, what are you serving?"

"It's brine."

Chen Miao understood, I had heard of brine ordering tofu before, it turned out that brine was like this?

"You can still eat it at noon. It's that this stone mill has finished grinding this soy milk, but you have to rinse it well. In the winter, it will freeze. ”

Pushing the stone mill is not too tired, mainly because there are few soybeans, and her stone mill is enough although it is small.

The soy milk was poured into the bucket, and Shen Jianchun also sent a tofu plate.

Chen Miao lit the fire, wanted to boil the soy milk, let it sit for a while until it was cool, and began to order tofu, and then scooped it into the white cloth on the tofu plate.

"This kind of cloth is not good for baggage, it is too dense. Later, if you have the opportunity to buy cloth, ask them if they have gauze. That's easy to use, and the tofu is formed quickly. ”

Chen Miao was nodding, in fact, she felt that the technical content was that you can't paste the pot when you burn soy milk, and when you order brine, you just rely on your feelings.

It's not easy to handle. What does it really feel?

Wrap the water tofu in a cloth and press a wooden board on top. I put two basins of water on top of it, and I saw water seeping through the outside of the tofu plate.

"Fifth aunt, that's it?"

"It's almost there, just wait for the water to be pressed out, and the tofu will be formed."

"I'll try it myself tomorrow, I want to know how much to put in this brine."

"This little brine in the bowl is enough for you to use for a while. There is a pharmacy in the town that sells brine, so you can buy some and save it. But don't let your child touch it.

There is a widow in my mother's family who can't live anymore, and she drinks brine, which is hopeless. ”

Chen Miao nodded on the side, "Fifth aunt, I know." ”

"Alright, I guess it's about an hour, let's go back first."

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I was embarrassed to stay here, and after a while, the tofu was formed and I sent them a pot.

You can do it yourself, whenever you want.

It's really grinding to make tofu, and there is water on the ground. If you want to make tofu, you have to get a wing.

In fact, what they said yesterday was also right, and now that life is not good, there may not be many people who buy tofu.

In the future, I don't necessarily have time, so I'd better take care of my two children.

Cleaned up and started the fire. If you don't eat at home at noon, there will be fewer fires, and the house will not be so warm.

The two children followed each other, Chen Miao was afraid that they would fall, the ground was not dry, and the steamed sweet potatoes in the pot accompanied the two of them to play after chopping firewood.

Now they are playing with those kinds of educational toys, and I am really grateful to the sisters' supermarket.

She looked through the dictionary on the side, and there were still a lot of traditional Chinese characters that she didn't recognize, so she still had to look at them more.
