A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 110 Grinding Tofu

After more than ten days of busy work, Bai Xia also got what she wanted.

"Miss, everything is ready"

Shuanzi and Shuanzi's father came to report with a stone mill on the side of the dam.

Hearing this, Bai Xia hurried forward and looked at the smooth stone mill in front of her. She couldn't help but feel joy in her heart. Finally, she didn't have to eat brown rice and steamed buns all the time. With the stone mill, they could grind beans. Don't talk, let's get a bowl of soy milk to drink first.

"Miss, we haven't harvested the grain yet, what are we going to do with this stone mill?"

Shuanzi's father went down to work after delivering the things, but Shuanzi still stayed here. Seeing Bai Xia happily touching the stone mill, he was very puzzled. He was a person who couldn't hide his words. asked out.

"Of course you have to do a good job"

"Go to the grain room and scoop some soybeans out"

"Go fetch some more water"

Shuanzi was at a loss, but did as he was told.

Bai Xia called Li Xiuyuan and Ms. Wu who were busy. By the way, Ms. Wu's surname is Wu and her name is Ziying. It is a name suitable for men and women. Normally, Bai Xia and the others would not let her care about Ms. Wu Wu Miss, but let them call her Miss Ziying.

Now that she lives with Bai Xia and the others, she really has feelings for her.

Li Xiuyuan took a fancy to Wu Ziying's profound knowledge, not inferior to a man.

Bai Xia put it simply, for the voice of others, for the one or two taels of silver they gave at the beginning, Wu Ziying didn't say that he wanted to leave, so it's not easy for them to drive him away, right?

Li Xiuyuan and Wu Ziying came soon. Wu Ziying was wearing a light yellow gauze dress, her hair was naturally curled up, and she didn't put any makeup on her face. Even if she suffered a catastrophe, she was still so beautiful.

"Bai Xia, what did you call us here for?"

Li Xiuyuan asked impatiently.

Bai Xia patted the stone mill under his hands, Li Xiuyuan tilted his head strangely, still not knowing why.

Wu Ziying, on the other hand, stepped forward to touch it, just in time to see Shuanzi coming over with soybeans.

"Are you grinding beans?"

"Do you want tofu?"

In this day and age, tofu is not unavailable, but it is relatively rare. Most families have never eaten tofu, and there are very few people who know how to make tofu.

"exactly"

Bai Xia nodded, took the beans from Shuan Zi's hand and put them aside.

Wu Ziying's eyes lit up, thinking of the tofu she had eaten, her mouth couldn't help secreting some saliva, it was hard to imagine that she, who had suffered from anorexia, was a foodie in her boudoir, and tofu is not an expensive thing on weekdays, and she also Not particularly home.

But this time, when he was in trouble, when he thought of tofu, he couldn't wait to try it.

So after Shuanzi fetched water, the others did not let him intervene, each took a little work and began to grind the beans.

It takes a lot of effort to grind a stone mill, especially a big one like this.

And if the grinder is too small, the beans will not be grinded well, so Bai Xia can only push it.

It was just a try, and I don't know how the situation is, so Bai Xia didn't pull the horse over. After they do it themselves first, if it's feasible, if they need to do more later, they can let the horse pull the grinder, and people will relax Not a lot.

The beans are soaked in water, and they have not been soaked for a long time, so it is a bit laborious to grind them.

I knew I should have soaked it first.

But Bai Xia couldn't bear it anymore, even if the beans he brought were dried beans, they were still ground.

One person scoops beans, one person mixes water, one person grinds the mill, and the three work together.

"It's out of the pulp"

The white and yellowish slurry flowed down the stone mill and dripped into the basin below. Bai Xia and the others suddenly regained their spirits. A soybean was crushed by the stone mill and turned into a slurry with bean dregs. .

Bai Xia had already prepared the tools needed to make tofu in the past few days.

They grind on one side, and filter on the other side of the embolus.

After all, soy milk is in it.

It was Bai Xia's first time making it, and she didn't plan to make it too complicated, she just wanted to drink a few bowls of soy milk, so soon, the few people took a break, sent a small half bucket of soy milk into the kitchen, followed closely, and let Shuan Zi Niang lit the fire, Bai Xia took charge of the stove, and began to cook soybean milk.

While cooking, he told Shuan Ziniang the precautions for cooking soy milk.

"This soy milk is different from other things. If it is not cooked, it will be poisonous"

"Look, the soy milk is boiling now, and there are still bubbles, but it's not cooked yet."

"After all the bubbles are boiled down, boil it for a while longer, so that nothing will go wrong"

Bai Xia spoke clearly and logically, while the others nodded repeatedly. In fact, Bai Xia didn't understand this, he only knew that soy milk is poisonous if it is not cooked, and it seems that the boiling point is lower than water or something. In short, just cook more.

While cooking, she stirred.

It wasn't until the half bucket of soy milk shrank by [-]%, that Bai Xia felt that it was almost done.

A strong aroma spread out, different from the aroma of rice, but another kind of mellow aroma.

Bai Xia and the others didn't have white sugar in their hands, so naturally there was no way to add sugar to the soy milk.

Bowls of thick white soy milk came out of the pot, and they didn't care about being hot, so they stretched out their mouths and blew a few mouthfuls before drinking it.

“good fragrance”

Li Xiuyuan had never drank soy milk, and he couldn't even drink water these days when he was in exile. After drinking such a delicious thing, his eyes lit up.

Bai Xia, on the other hand, hasn't eaten good food for a long time. She suddenly ate something that was only available in her previous life, and she felt sour. She is so stupid, really, she should grind the soy milk earlier.

Ms. Wu was more reserved, she didn't say anything, but quickly finished the bowl of soy milk in her hand, without Bai Xia and the others doing it, she got up and added a bowl for herself.

They were full after drinking a glass of water, and shared a bowl with Shuan Ziniang and Shuan Zi who were busy at the side. It was the first time for the mother and son to drink such delicious food, and their eyes lit up.

Although there is no sugar added, the soy milk has a mellow flavor.

"How about the workshop?"

After drinking enough, Bai Xia lay on the chair, not wanting to move.

I've been really tired recently.

"Still under construction." Li Xiuyuan was also lazy.

"What about the villagers?"

"They are all very honest, especially when training every day, they are more serious than the people who came with us"

"That's right, how can you not be serious? They all have points, and the points can be related to their purchase of a house." This is what Bai Xia and the others discussed. Incorporating training into everyone's life can not only exercise the body, but also improve the health of the people. Improve combat effectiveness.

"This method is very useful"

"Whether it was the original refugees or the people in the Liu clan later on, they all united a lot."

Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about the way those people were training, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"But don't take it lightly," Bai Xia said, Li Xiuyuan looked at her, her side face was shining softly under the sunlight.

I just heard her say: "Liu Yunzhai is fine, but the situation at the bottom of the mountain, I don't know what it's like."

"Especially not far from Tushan, no one knows if the army there will invade here"

Bai Xia didn't naively think that they had found a place to stay, so they could rest easy.

"I know, so let them hurry up to build workshops, I plan for them to build city walls" With Ms. Wu, a master builder, building a few city walls is no problem.
