Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 227 Soy Milk
At that time, these grains may not necessarily fall into their own hands.

After the janitor finished counting, he stuffed the money into Zhang Yu's hand, then quickly lifted the bag of cornmeal, and quickly took it into the house.

After hiding it, I came out to continue chatting with Zhang Yu. During the chat, I would look at the place where the food was hidden from time to time.

After the two of them chatted, when Zhang Yu left from the waste collection station, the janitor smiled and sent him far away, and kept calling him to come often.

This made Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, in this era, food is the hard currency!

With food, many things can be done. Whoever has food in his hands can take the initiative in getting along with others.

After staying away from the sight of the janitor, Zhang Yu took out the money in his pocket, counted it again, and put it into the secret space.

Then walked in the direction of home with a happy mood.

For him, every penny he earns now will bring him one step closer to his dream of chartering a house.

The accumulation of less makes more, besides, the current 50 yuan is not a lot.

If you save a few more times, it will be enough for a room.

After the country allows houses to be traded freely, he will buy more houses, so that he can fulfill his dream of chartering a house.

The more I think about it, the happier I am, and even the ten years of worrying about it have been temporarily let go.

On the way home, he consciously sorted out the things he wanted to bring home this time.

After all, they have sold the food to outsiders, so they can't let my uncle and uncle go hungry, and it's not like there is nothing.

After returning home, there was no one in the family, and my sister-in-law and the others probably hadn't gotten off work yet.

But it also made it easier for him to get things at home, and he didn't have to find a reason.

Zhang Yu took out the key to the sister-in-law's house from the secret space. Yes, there are only three sets of keys in the sister-in-law's house, and he owns one.

Opening the door, I came to my sister-in-law's bedroom. From the secret space, I took out 30 catties of rice grown by myself, 20 catties of flour, and 50 catties of cornmeal...

After thinking about it, I took out another three catties of brown sugar. Two days ago, my sister-in-law was talking about the brown sugar that the supply and marketing agency came to but she didn't grab it. Today, I happened to make it up for her.

After placing the brown sugar, I was a little dissatisfied and hid the things I took out. There was no way, I couldn't take out too much at one time. If I took out too much, my sister-in-law and the others should worry about whether they had gone the wrong way.

When I was about to close the door, I remembered something again, and took out five bolts of homespun cloth I bought on the road from the secret space.

Two days ago, the people in the courtyard wanted to ask him to exchange the earthen cloth, but because of the matter of the old Wu family, they were busy sending the Wu family to the hospital as soon as possible.

I was afraid that the Wu family would not be rescued, so I had no intention of changing the cloth, so I just took some out and put some at my sister-in-law's place today, and let my sister-in-law figure it out.

After locking the door for my sister-in-law, Zhang Yu returned to his home.

Looking at the small stone mill at the door of the kitchen, Zhang Yu suddenly became greedy for tofu.

Because of the supply problem, the family has not eaten tofu for a long time.

Thinking of the taste of tofu, he swallowed involuntarily.

Obviously not everything is delicious, but sometimes I suddenly want to eat it, and I can't help it when I think about it.

There are a lot of soybeans in his space, and now he has a small stone mill, so why not make some tofu by himself.

It's just that tofu seems to need to soak soybeans in advance.

But this is not a big problem for Zhang Yu who has a secret space. There is a secret space, as long as the soybeans to be soaked are placed in the secret space, it will be soaked in a short time.

This time, he soaked about fifty or sixty catties of dried soybeans, basically using all the large and small containers in the secret space.

Zhang Yu had the idea of ​​doing a little outside first and putting it on the bright side, and doing the rest with consciousness in the space.

Make more and put them in the still space on the lower floor, and take them out when you want to eat them.

The main reason is that according to the current situation, in recent years, it has not been possible to buy tofu when you want to go out like in later generations.

Since you can't buy it, you can only make it yourself.

While soaking soybeans, Zhang Yu cleaned out the small stone mill.

Then check the books you signed in to see if there are any books about making tofu.

It really made him find it, and he took the book and read it carefully.

Tofu originated in the Han Dynasty and can be divided into north and south. In the north, firm tofu is mainly used, while in the south, soft tofu is mainly used.

And Zhang Yu's taste is between the old tofu and the soft tofu. He likes the tofu that is older than the soft tofu, but not as good as the old tofu.

After waiting for a while, the cleaned small stone mill was also dry. Zhang Yu took out the soaked soybeans from the secret space, pinched them with his hands, and they were already soaked.

5 catties of dry soybeans were soaked in a pot, and there were nearly 50 catties of wet soybeans.

He took the pot of soaked soybeans out of the secret space, and planned to try it outside first.

The remaining soaked soybeans are put into the secret space on the lower floor first, and after the tofu outside is successfully cooked, the remaining beans are cooked in the secret space.

Take out the small portion of soaked beans, first filter out the water in which the beans are soaked, and change the clean water again. According to the book, the ratio of soybeans to water is 1:6.

It is relatively easy to grind the soybeans into soy milk with a small stone mill.

One is that the soybeans are soaked better, soaked thoroughly, and are easier to grind, and the other is that the small stone mill he bought is really good. Not only is it easy to grind, but the soy milk produced is very fine.

Zhang Yu looked at the two large barrels of soy milk that were ground with satisfaction, and then filtered out the bean dregs in the soy milk with a gauze bag.

The filtered soy milk was poured into the pot. At this time, Zhang Yu also discovered another benefit of a large pot.

At least after these two large buckets of soy milk were put into the pot, the whole pot was only [-]% full.

Then turn on the fire and boil the soy milk in the pot. When there is a false boil, skim off the foam.

He didn't dare to pour out the froth directly, but put the skimmed froth into the swill bucket in the secret space, preparing to feed the pigs.

Then I took out two pieces of firewood from the pot, turned it into a small fire, and cooked for another ten minutes.

At this time, the kitchen began to be smoky again. Zhang Yu was choking and coughing continuously, so he could only open the window to let the smoke disperse.

The smell of boiled soy milk attracted the little uncle who just got off work, opened the door and asked, "Xiaoyu, what are you cooking?"

"Little uncle, you came back from get off work. I'm cooking soy milk and it's ready. Would you like to taste it first and see how it tastes?"

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhao Wenzhuo suddenly became interested, walked towards the kitchen, and said as he walked, "Then I have to taste it, I haven't had soy milk for a long time."
