Chapter 39 Tofu
He couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Yang Hongfen.

Yang Hongfen was startled by the sudden movement, her face turned pale and red again.

"What are you doing!" she said coquettishly.

Lin Yudong didn't speak, and let Yang Hongfen push her shyly, but put a little force on her arms.

Until Zhao Chunhua's voice came from outside.

"Sister-in-law, brother Yan and Erni have taken a bath?"

Yang Hongfen felt her face was on fire, and said to Lin Yudong begging for mercy, "Relax quickly, I will take the two children out."

"I'll help you hug brother." Lin Yudong dawdled for a while, and reluctantly let go.

The moon hid in the clouds at some point, and the dark yellow candlelight added two points of brightness to the courtyard through the gap.

Zhao Chunhua reached out to take Brother Yan and Erni, and asked worriedly, "Why did it take you so long to come out?"

When Yang Hongfen heard it, she was almost speechless in embarrassment, lowered her head and whispered: "I didn't hear it for a while."

The credibility of this statement is not too low, Zhao Chunhua looked up, and found Yang Hongfen's bright red earlobes by candlelight.

Zhao Chunhua: "!!!"

Did she spoil their good deed?
Zhao Chunhua felt that she was in the wrong, and left without looking back while holding the two sleeping children.

The next day.

Yang Hongfen got up late.

She went to the kitchen in a hurry, Zhao Chunhua was cooking soy milk, and she was going to grind the beans early this morning.

Zhao Chunhua added some firewood to the stove, and when she noticed Yang Hongfen coming, she quickly laughed and joked, "Look at sister-in-law, she looks like a flower that has been moistened!"

Li Yushu had also been with them for a long time, and seeing Yang Hongfen's face flushed, she also raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law have such a good relationship!"

Yang Hongfen was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head, she thought for a long time before she could say a word.

"You and..." The fourth brother is not the same!
Yang Hongfen only said two words, but she couldn't say anything after that.

Lin Yubei is still on the battlefield right now, so if she mentioned it, wouldn't it poke Yushu's heart.

Yang Hongfen was at a loss for words for a while.

Zhao Chunhua noticed her embarrassment, and quickly changed the topic with a smile: "The soy milk is ready, sister-in-law, bring me a bowl!"

"Hey!" Yang Hongfen responded, casting a grateful look at Zhao Chunhua.

Li Yushu smiled helplessly at this, she was not the original owner, although she wanted to fall in love with Lin Yubei and become a loving couple in the future, but now, it must be a lie to say that she is worried about Lin Yubei.

Of course, these cannot be told to others.

"Soy milk is ready? Do you want to make bean curd?" Li Yushu walked over holding her waist, pretending not to notice the strangeness between Yang Hongfen and Zhao Chunhua.

It's just that the two people in the room cast surprised glances at her at the same time.

Zhao Chunhua: "What is Douhua?"

Li Yushu was slightly taken aback, "You don't know?"

The two shook their heads in unison, they had never heard of such a thing as bean curd.

Li Yushu asked again: "Then do you know about tofu?"

Zhao Chunhua asked suspiciously, "It's also a bean?"

Li Yushu shook her head, with surprise in her eyes.

There are no bean curds and tofu in this world, does that mean she can persuade Zhao Chunhua and Yang Hongfen to start the bean products business.

"Then what are the bean curd and tofu you're talking about?"

It's not beans, but there is another word for beans.

"This one~" Li Yushu smiled mysteriously, "It's made of beans."

"Why am I getting more and more confused about what you said?"

Zhao Chunhua shook her head, she only knew that this bean could be used to make soy milk and bean dregs cake, and she just boiled it directly, and had never heard of other methods.

Li Yushu smiled and said in a mysterious way: "You will know when you see the bean curd and tofu."

She knows how to make tofu. When she was a child, she had a mother-in-law in the village. Her tofu was white and tender.

At that time, she always squatted at the door of her house. The mother-in-law cooked the soybean milk, scooped it into the bucket with a spoon, and added gypsum water, and the tofu flower was ready after a while.

White and tender bean curd, sprinkled with salt and chili powder, and then put a small spoonful of soy sauce, just stir it so easily, every bite is enjoyable.

At that time, she was squatting at the door, holding a bowl with a gap, and eating bean curd with a porcelain spoon.

While watching the mother-in-law put a clean white cloth into the tofu box, then scoop the tofu curd down, cover it with a wooden board, and put a washed stone on it to press it down.

When she finishes eating the tofu little by little, the mother-in-law's tofu will be ready.

Later, her mother-in-law left, and she also left the village. She tried to make it many times, but she couldn't make it taste that way.

Li Yushu suppressed the sourness in her eyes, pulled up the corners of her mouth, and smiled: "The taste, after eating it, I will keep it for you to have a good aftertaste."

Yang Hongfen and Zhao Chunhua looked at each other in blank dismay, and they couldn't believe what Li Yushu said. Soy milk is also made of beans, and it doesn't taste very delicious.

But when they saw Li Yushu's confident expression, they still didn't say anything against her in the end.

Zhao Chunhua thought about Yushu seriously, and asked:

"The beans at home only weigh a hundred catties, is that enough for you?"

Li Yushu was taken aback for a moment, carefully recalled the memory of the original owner, and then suddenly realized.

She said how could there be no bean curd and tofu in this world!

This soybean is a new grain discovered by the imperial court a few years ago, but now it is not old enough and there are constant wars in the south.

Today, the Holy Majesty has heard too much about defeat and surrender, knowing that the people in the south are not for him, so he simply gave up.

He thought about winning over the hearts of the people in the north, as long as he could keep his life and the throne of the emperor, it wouldn't matter if he gave up half of the country.

He directly ordered that the bean seeds be distributed to the prefectures north of the capital, and let officials vigorously promote the planting of soybeans.

It stands to reason that having new food is a good thing for the common people, but nowadays, the sage is eager for success and profit, and the Ministry of Households still doesn't know much about the soybeans, so he ordered people to bring all the soybean seeds to promote, so that every village Plant beans.

The emperor laughed and laughed with his ministers in the splendid palace.

The local county magistrate looked at the instructions from above and the golden beans, feeling miserable.

This soybean is suitable for dry land and mountain planting, as for the others...

For example, the yield per mu cannot match that of wheat and rice, and they have no idea what can be produced after planting.

That's it?Let the people plant?

The county magistrate is so angry that he wants to scold his mother, why does the current sage treat the people as fools?
Of course, this can only be thought about in my heart.You still have to obey orders from above.

Dashan Village belongs to Jianghe County, and the county magistrate of Xu County in Jianghe County will soon be transferred back. As a result, he came out to promote soybean planting at this juncture, and his hair turned gray from worry.

It has been a few days since the notice was posted, but none of the common people has come to pick up the bean seeds.

People are not stupid, there are only so many fields at home, and the tax is heavy. Under such circumstances, who would dare to try?

But if he directly forced the people to plant, then he could only be a county magistrate in this small Jianghe County for the rest of his life.

In the end, Xuzhi County really ran out of recruits, and asked the officials to divide the two hundred catties of beans into ten shares and send them directly to Lizheng in the next ten villages.

And let the officials make a wave of threats and lures, which probably means that this kind of seed is ordered by the current emperor to be planted, and the villagers must be planted. If they don't plant it, they will go to jail!

Then he took out another two taels of silver, expressing that he also knew that this matter would be difficult to handle, this was his intention, and it was counted as hard work for Li Zheng.

Anyway, he doesn't want to take care of this mess, let these Lizheng do it!
As for their complaints?That blames the current saint, he has made it very clear, he is also obeying orders, and he also paid for the hard work, a total of 20 taels of silver!
