Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 79 Mrs. Mei’s Trap (Part )
After talking in the evening, everyone was going back to the house to rest. Mei Qian went to the kitchen again to soak the soybeans.

However, after soaking the soybeans, she helped Tweety pour all the pears she peeled, cored and sliced ​​in the afternoon into the big pot at Tweety's request. After that, Tweety started to add water and start the fire.

"Wouldn't this make it difficult to sleep all night?"

Mei Qian looked at Cui'er sitting on the stove, her face flushed by the firelight.

"It's okay. After this boils, I just need to take out the filter residue inside, and then continue to boil the pear water.

When it is slightly thick, grind the medicinal ingredients into powder, mix it with warm water, pour it in, and continue to cook until it is thick and sandy... I guess I can go back to rest in the middle of the night. "

After listening to these processes, Mei Qian even felt that she didn't need to intervene to make the Qiuli ointment taste delicious.

It seemed that she and her Naibai were worried before.

"It's just that in the past, my father cooked the autumn pear paste himself, and I helped him on the side. Now when I make it, I was quite nervous at first, but now I feel that it is really not difficult."

Even Cui'er said so herself, so it was obviously no problem.

"Sister-in-law, please remember to control the heat. When you prepare the pear juice, keep cooking it over low heat. The heat will make it easy to burn."

Mei Qian remembered the video of making brown sugar using the ancient method that she had seen before. Some of the preparations for this Qiuli paste should be universal, so she gave a reminder.

"Oh, right!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Cui'er's reaction, as if she was relieved too early.

"besides……"

Suddenly, Mei Qian thought of another question, "Can this iron pot be used to cook Qiuli paste? What did your father use to cook it?"

"what?!"

Cui'er also looked frightened and said: "It seems to be a clay pot! My father said that the potion cooked in an iron pot will affect the efficacy of the medicine! Oops, I..."

"Don't, don't worry, sister-in-law, don't you have to wait until it boils to filter the dregs? Then you can change the pear juice into the pot over there. Anyway, you put the medicine later, so it shouldn't have much impact, right? ?”

Hearing Mei Qian's words, Cui'er calmed down again, and was even more grateful that Mei Qian was involved.

Otherwise, even if this pot of autumn pear paste is made, the taste will not be good.

Later, with the help of Mei Shitou, who came to the kitchen to help, Mei Qian and Cui'er successfully filtered and transferred the pot of boiled pear juice to the earthenware pot.

After finishing their work, Mei Qian and Cui'er carefully checked whether there were any other things to pay attention to next, and then Mei Qian left with peace of mind and went back to sleep.

But before leaving, Cui'er looked at the pot of beans that Mei Qian had soaked before, and then she remembered and asked, "Are you going to stew fish with the soaked soybeans tomorrow?"

"No."

Mei Qian shook her head, pointed to the stone grinder in the yard and said, "Grind the beans tomorrow morning, can you drink the soy milk?"

Cui'er's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Drink!"

Xiaomei also took the opportunity to boo in the background: [I want it too! Remember to add some sugar. 】

Mei Qian: "..."

There are a lot of requirements!

"By the way, I put the plaster you wanted to buy together with the medicine bag. I didn't look at the plaster or ask, so I didn't tell you. What do you want it for?"

"After drinking the soy milk, try making tofu."

"What? You can also make tofu?"

Cui'er didn't know whether to be surprised that Mei Qian could make tofu, or whether to be shocked that there was gypsum in the tofu.

"There used to be a tofu shop in our village. One time when I went to buy tofu, I secretly saw how they made it. It seemed that it required plaster. I didn't know, so I decided to give it a try."

Mei Qian's words were deliberately vague, but it seemed like she was really trying.

After she finished speaking, Cui'er was shocked and couldn't help but sigh: "If you try this, wouldn't our family be able to..."

"Hey, sister-in-law, I may not be able to make this tofu, and even if I make it, I may not be able to sell it." Mei Qian immediately shook her head to interrupt Cui'er's reverie.

Mei Qian doesn't make tofu for sale, she simply eats it herself, improves the food for her family, and then changes to some food herself.

"But if you do this, I might actually ask you to do it."

Mei Qian and Cui'er both heard the wishes that Mrs. Mei and Mr. Mei made today.

Cui'er's reminder really woke up Mei Qian.

Her grandma was just talking about this with her dead grandfather today. I wonder if she would really think about making a living after seeing her make tofu tomorrow.

Even if she doesn't want to, she may not agree.

However, she can't stop making this tofu forever. This is an important step in improving the food at home.

Mei Qian had fried beans twice on the road before.

Let’s not talk about the teeth grinding, let’s just talk about the scene where the family huddled together and used “poison gas” after eating. It was a memory that Mei Qian never wanted to think of.

She had to think of a countermeasure after all. Anyway, she couldn't support Mrs. Mei selling tofu.

With worries on her mind, Mei Qian left the kitchen and just walked into the main room. She looked up and happened to see the two memorial tablets placed in the corner of the main room.

Suddenly, Mei Qian's plan came to mind.

Early the next morning, Mei Qian got up early. Mrs. Mei woke up only after she noticed the movement of Mei Qian getting up and putting on her shoes.

"Girl Qian, why did you get up so early in the morning?"

Mrs. Mei also looked at the hazy white light on the window.

But she didn't get an answer from Mei Qian. Mei Qian put on her shoes and walked out quickly.

Seeing Mei Qian's hurried back, Mrs. Mei shouted again, but Mei Qian still didn't answer her.

In this way, she also got up, wanting to see what Mei Qian was going to do so early in the morning.

Is it possible that after a good night's sleep, the hearing loss is gone?
Mrs. Mei got dressed, and when she left the main room, she saw that Mei Qian had put a pot of soaked soybeans last night in the stone grinder in the yard, and took Xiao Hui out to help grind the round soybeans. A bucket full of raw soy milk.

"What? To make soy milk so early in the morning? Oh, why did you make so much?"

Mrs. Mei witnessed the whole process, and when she finally saw the bucket of raw soy milk, she felt heartbroken and said, "If you want to drink soy milk, why don't you get some more? There is so much that our whole family can't finish it in one meal. This soy milk is too much to drink." It’s easy to get rancid if you eat it, you…”

When Mrs. Mei said that, seeing Mei Qian's indifferent look, she became even more angry.

As a result, Mei Qian still ignored her and carried the bucket of soy milk back to the kitchen.

Her behavior immediately made Mrs. Mei so angry that she could no longer suppress it.

She followed Mei Qian into the kitchen, and when she saw Mei Qian pouring soy milk into the pot with an expressionless face, Mrs. Mei finally couldn't help but pulled her arm and shouted: "Mei Qian! Are you deaf!?"

"what!"

At this time, Mei Qian let out a sigh as if she was waking up from a big dream, and looked at Mrs. Mei in confusion.

"Nai, why are you here?"

"Why am I here? Why don't you ask yourself why you are here?"

Mrs. Mei laughed angrily at Mei Qian's question. But Mei Qian scratched her head and muttered in confusion: "So it's not a dream?"

"Huh? I've been talking to you for a long time, and you think I'm in a dream? What? You don't listen when I talk to you in a dream?"

Mrs. Mei didn't care about Mei Qian's abnormality at all. She was still angry about her attitude towards her just now!
"No way, milk. I'm not. I was just in a daze just now. I just remembered that someone asked me to make bean curd for you to eat. I made it right away~"

"What is that beancurd? Huh? Who asked you to make this for me to eat?"

　Mei Qian's face is confused, but she has a big dream.

　　Privately: Ahhhhh, my ears are going to be deafened!
