CH.061 Wake up early and get dark

Pick up beans until dark, and after dinner, go to the kang to rest. The next day, before the sky was fully shining, the sun was nowhere to be seen, or the rooster was still asleep, the ram had already come and called everyone to get up.

Get up early to grind tofu. I don't know what kind of tortuous pursuit and hobby the person who invented tofu has, and it takes so many twists and turns to eat this thing. Guansong Guanfeng and the two pushed the stone mill and grinded the beans. From time to time, Qingchong added soaked soybeans from the hole in the upper plate of the stone mill, and also added some water from time to time. The gears of the stone mill chewed into the soybeans poured in from the stone pan above, and after slowly crushing, they became a delicate and viscous bean juice, which flowed down from the chute of the stone mill and from the periphery of the stone mill layer by layer, and fell into the vats. Yu Chi Ram said intentionally or unintentionally on the side: "Look at this bending and stretching arm, the cycle repeats, and the beans are pressed to produce bean juice." Such a headless sentence, Guan Song did not understand the ram's intentions, and did not talk to him. Just burying his head in hard work, the stone mill turned round and round, and the bean juice was layer after layer, piled down, and fell, exuding the vitality of the beans in the barrel. Xiangyu and Cuckoo were burning the fire and making breakfast, and the red fire shone on their sleepy eyes and yawned. Breakfast is soy milk and white flour steamed buns, the soy milk exudes a faint aroma, and the steamed buns also have a natural sweetness. The ram broke open the steamed bun lately, and the steamed bread had layers of texture, and had the texture, color, and shape that the steamed bun should have. After taking a sip of soy milk, the soy milk boiled and boiled thoroughly, and there was a layer of ripe thin clothes floating on it, and the thin coat formed by the thick slurry juice formed by the heated soybean milk may be a layer of tofu skin when it is dried. Xu was full, and the ram Wei Chi said: "It is made of flour and scattered, forming a certain form, or steaming or roasting, to produce steamed buns, fill the stomach, and increase strength." It is made of the smoothness of the beans, the vitality of the dissolved beans is in the water, it can be drunk when cooked, it can cure thirst and quench hunger, the fragrance is indifferent and full of mouth, and the light taste is the best. After eating, Guansong and the others temporarily relieved their hunger and fatigue and began to work again. "Labor is the most lazy, the most lazy roots, life is industrious, to maintain for a long time, persistent, so that laziness does not see traces, work is not considered industrious. "The ram is the overseer. Guan Song, Guan Feng Qingchong and others carried the soybean milk, and a lot of soybean milk was scooped into the cauldron with a big spoon, and the cuckoo and Xiangyu stuffed firewood under the stove, and the bun boy was carefully arranging the firewood. When you are busy, you can feel the tension of being idle. When the soy milk is boiled and the brine is added, the soy milk can get rid of the turbidity state, the water and tofu brain appear clearly in the pot, and the fragrance of the tofu permeates the whole house. Ram Wei Chi took out a square frame, there was gauze on it, the tofu brain passed through the spoon, into the wooden frame, the tofu water flowed through the gauze, the tofu brain was in the hands of the ram Wei Chi, was tied into a square frame by gauze, and then put a heavy object, wait for time, the water was clean, and it took shape naturally. The fresh tofu was still steaming, and the ram Wei Chi carried the tofu and put it on the shop to sell. If you have a good reputation, you will naturally come to the world. Guansong and they are also very busy, and at the end of the day, they always have backache and leg pain, and they are very tired.

For a few days, I got up early, and after a busy day, I fell asleep late. The fatigue of the day before yesterday is still there, and today is another tiredness. Every day I slept and snored all over the house. It's been more than a month in the blink of an eye. On this day, the ram Wei Chi didn't wake them up, Guan Song and the others had become a habit, spontaneously got up early, grinded soybean milk, boiled bean juice, ordered braised tofu brains, and made a box of tofu brains, and didn't see Yu Chi Ram move out to sell. Guan Song beckoned Qing Chong to carry the tofu out together, only to see the two couples sitting in front of the store, seeing Guan Song and the others, they smiled relatively knowingly, took the tofu, tested the hardness, and tested the temperature. Sell them one by one to the crowd in line.

"To do things hard, the heavens descend to the great task, must first suffer their minds, work their body and skin, and there are words that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The difficulty of subduing people's minds lies in the many bad roots of people and the lack of wisdom to guide them. Martial arts are just moves, everything starts from the heart. Eat hard, you have to be yourself. Only by subduing one's own laziness can one have the attribute of industriousness. There is no need for supervision, consciously and spontaneously adhere to your own diligence, maintain this habit and consciousness, and you will be broken. ”

"Now that you've broken the formation, we also have gifts to give. Although valuable things are valued from time to time, they are also obtained by fate. Ram Wei Chi said. "This gift needs to go through a little test before you can get it. Guansong: They were immediately ready to try. The ram told them to stand in a faction, in the courtyard, in front of a long table. It's said to be a small test, but it has two levels. The first is to hold tofu residue with chopsticks to monitor everyone's control of finger strength, and the second is to connect tofu in the air to test the flexibility of everyone's wrist and the softness of the palm. There are six pairs of chopsticks on the table, and there are three tofu slag balls in the bowl. It can only be a clamp but not like a clamp, it is generally supported, but it cannot be dropped, and even if it is dropped, it cannot be forced, and it will be broken. Qing Chong learned the axe, but he paid attention to the explosion and the hit of the shot, and the pill was the first person to go out. Guansong Guanfeng is also out of the game, only the bun boy is left, he often picks up herbs every day, pays attention to a speed, the ball is just lifted, and it is quickly put into the bowl, barely passed. Xiangyu's comprehension of qi from the battle, her heart was very calm, she paid attention to a stable word, and slowly and safely sent the balls to another bowl little by little. The cuckoo is at ease, thanks entirely to the power of the Flying Stone Technique and the Pure Heart Clarity Mantra. In the second level, he took the tofu with his bare hands in the air, and the ram threw the hot tofu very hard, and the boy with his hair bun blocked it with his hand, and the tofu splashed all over the place, so he naturally couldn't pass the second level. Xiangyu thinks that blocking is a hard hit, it will not succeed, the undertaking of strength should pay attention to acceptance, to adapt to the trajectory of tofu, her people and hands retreat as much as possible, but although the castration of tofu has been alleviated, it cannot completely eliminate the power, and finally failed. But this array is simply tailor-made for the cuckoo, the cuckoo's practice of flying stone has a twisted stone in the air, she does not block the trajectory of the tofu, but increases the suction, and after changing the direction of the air to dissolve the force, and then softly sticks it into her hand. In this test, the cuckoo won completely.

Yu Chi Ram and Ram Wei Chi smiled at each other and clapped their hands again and again. "Who did you learn from, at such a young age, you have such understanding and skill, you are really a genius. Seeing your gestures, you should be accustomed to using hidden weapons, and Master is clever, so we won't say much. You might as well talk about your shortcomings. Cuckoo pulled out a soft sword in his hand, "I have a soft sword, but I don't have a matching sword." The ram and the ram laughed. "We have a set of swordsmanship, the name is the husband and the woman with the sword, you only have one, see that Guansong also has a jade sword, if you learn it together, it is not profound, but you can also defend yourself. Guansong stepped forward, but the cuckoo blushed and just nodded. Practicing the sword is half a day, but the husband sings the woman with the sword but the jade sword is masculine, pays attention to offense, soft sword feminine, and mainly defensive. The moves are simple, but they can also be used alone, and the cuckoo is naturally more than enough for self-defense. It's just that when practicing the sword, there will inevitably be some physical contact, Du Juan is sensitive, but it is very dry, Guan Song understands in his heart, so he has to help her cover it up.

Before leaving, the ram Yu Chi and his wife handed over a bag of tofu skin as thin as cicada wings, which was bright.

Guansong took the tofu skin, the long-term sunshine and these unique twists and turns, with the words of the ram Wei Chi, maintained their self-introspection, and went to the kiln in the market.

Handed over the tofu skin of the kiln owner, the master smiled. "What did you benefit from coming from the Ram of Lieutenant Chi?"

Guansong said to the owner of the kiln: "The benefits are not shallow, not thrilling but hard, there is a place to control the heart, there is virtue, there is a system and things, and the generation of things that are beneficial to people." “

The owner of the kiln nodded to Guan Song again and again, carried the tofu skin, and took Guan Song and the others through the house where he lived, behind a small forest, there was a kiln, and there was a pile of firewood in front of the kiln.

Guan Song looked up, and it turned out that the name of this kiln was "Void Hole", which was the eleventh array, and the name of the formation was "Void Hole". I don't know what the meaning is, whether it's the sharpening of the mind or the name of the swordsmanship.

Guanfeng was very curious about the name, and couldn't help asking: "The kiln fired utensils, dishes, and wine glasses, why is it called a void?" The kiln owner laughed, and did not answer positively, but told a story about his past.

"People have five senses, corresponding to the five organs of the person, and the holes are all over the whole body of the person, and the holes are holes, and there are no holes in the body. I am perennial in the kiln, the fireworks are vigorous, so often suffer from headaches, one day the pain to faint, fortunately the famous doctor to apply acupuncture, now Kang Jian and no longer have a head wind, the famous doctor said to me, firing utensils, "nothing" for use, because of its nothingness, there is a help, there is the use of dishes. The same is true for pain, only when the knowledge is cleared can it play its role in the body, so it is often open-minded, empty-minded, helps the flow of qi and blood, and does not occlude natural health. That's why the name of my kiln is vague. I came to repay the doctor for saving people, and I am even more grateful to him for teaching me this truth of emptiness. Use this name to always engrave yourself in your heart, remind yourself, and empty yourself. ”

Walking into the kiln, several people are making bowl embryos, kneading the clay with water, pinching the edges, and kneading them into a hollow. Some of the dishes that had already been kneaded were sitting aside to dry, and others were drawing patterns on the surface of the bowls. The painting is auspicious clouds and sky, a large blank space, dotted with symmetrical patterns, simple and neat, and lively business. There are paintings of green bamboos falling sparsely, and the consistent direction of bamboo leaves seems to let people see where the wind is going. The owner of the kiln asked someone to put the bowl embryo in the high-temperature kiln for firing. This is a stone kiln, build the stone door, put on the pine wood, the fire is large and small, there are several kilns have stopped fire, but there is no kiln, the kiln owner said to wait for the temperature to cool, not to the temperature difference between the inside and outside is too large, the vessel is broken, to wait for the kiln to cool slowly before the kiln can be opened. There were also freshly made dishes piled up in the house behind the kiln, which was made of wood, with wide eaves, and had doors and windows.
