Shi Qingluo asked Mrs. Kong and the others to help soak the soybeans last night.
She then asked: “Is there a grinder at home?”
Xiao Hanzheng replied: “There is none at home, there is a public stone mill in the village.”
“Do you want to grind soybeans?”
Shi Qingluo snapped her fingers: “Smart!”
“I will ask Mother to accompany me to grind the soybeans. Only after grinding, I can make tofu.”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, “Okay, I can help you when I recover.”
He doesn’t think Shi Qingluo will make tofu just for today’s meal. She will probably make it more often in the future.
When Shi Qingluo heard it, she could hear the hidden meaning in his words.
She found that Xiao Hanzheng’s appearance and temperament not only fitted her aesthetic point of view but also very clever, which was also very suitable for her appetite.
In the past, she rejected all her suitors because those people could not have a tacit understanding or harmony with her.
“Mmm!” She nodded.
She went to the kitchen to call Mrs. Kong and Xiao Baili. They carried the soaked soybeans in the bucket and other empty buckets, and walk towards the stone mill in the village.
When they met some people along the way, they would take the initiative to say hello to Mrs. Kong.
It can be seen that Mrs. Kong’s reputation in the village was still good.
Shi Qingluo also discovered that the people in Xiaxi Village were much simpler than those in Shangxi Village.
Someone also took the initiative to greet Shi Qingluo, and she responded with a generous smile.
Seeing them carrying soybeans and buckets, a few people who have a good relationship with Mrs. Kong asked: “Yuelan, what are you going to do?”
Mrs. Kong’s full name was Kong Yuelan.
She laughed and replied: “My daughter-in-law wants to grind out the soybeans.”
Some people wondered: “Why do you want to grind the soybeans?”
Isn’t this waste, they have never seen anyone who grinds soybeans and eats them as food.
Shi Qingluo replied with a smile: “Because I want to make tofu.”
“What is tofu?” Everyone was even more puzzled.
Shi Qingluo didn’t hide it, “It’s a kind of food. When I was in the Taoist Temple, my master taught us to do it.”
Several people asked curiously: “Is that delicious?”
Shi Qinglou nodded: “It’s delicious.”
She smiled again and said: “After it’s done, you can come to our house and try it.”
She had already thought about it before. For those who helped the Xiao family before, after the tofu was made, she would send some to their home to taste.
Aside from keeping human relationships, it was also for the first wave of publicity.
A few people were a little embarrassed: “That’s not necessary, you can keep it for yourself.”
The current situation of the Xiao family was not good, and they were embarrassed to take it.
They heard that these soybeans were brought as dowry by the daughter of the Shi Family.
Shi Qingluo smiled generously: “You helped my mother-in-law a lot before, just taste some tofu, no need to be so polite.”
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Kong also knew that her daughter-in-law wanted to make tofu and share it with these well-connected neighbors.
Whether it was the soybeans or tofu, they don’t belong to the Xiao family. She couldn’t offer it to curry favors.
But if her daughter-in-law has this idea, she will not object.
Anyway, she believed her daughter-in-law was a formidable person, so she just listens to her.
So she also smiled and said: “This is just a little bit of heart of my family, so don’t refuse it.”
After hearing what she said, several people did not refuse again, mainly because they were a little curious about this tofu.
They heard that the Old Taoist Master on the mountain ascended to heaven and became immortal. He was so powerful. Since he taught this to Xiao Hanzheng’s wife, it should not be bad.
They also stepped forward to help and went to grind soybeans together.
After grinding the soybeans, several people went to the Xiao family to help.
When Shi Qinglou went to the kitchen, she only called Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi to help.
Several people saw this and didn’t say anything, just sat and chatted with Mrs. Kong.
Seeing Xiao Hanzheng coming out of the room with a cane, although his face was pale, it could be seen that he recovered from illness.
“Dalang, you can go to the field now.”
Seeing that he was able to go out of the room after waking up, several people were happy for Mrs. Kong and greeted him.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled handsomely: “It’s all thanks to my wife.”
“Back then, she was blessed after worshiping her master. After marrying me, she also brought me these blessings.”
He took the opportunity to help Shi Qinglou pull out her old master to raise the banner.
These ordinary people like to gossip in their village, so he believes this matter will be publicized in the village soon.
“That’s good. The happy life of you, young couple, is still yet to come.” After hearing this, several people thought it made sense.
Before, Xiao Hanzheng fell unconscious and almost died.
After that, when the daughter of the Shi Family came to get married yesterday, Xiao Hanzheng woke up, and he can even go out of the room today.
The daughter of the Shi Family was amazing. She was indeed a blessed person, and worthy of being the apprentice of the Old Immortal Master.
After chatting a few more words, Xiao Hanzheng said goodbye and went to the kitchen to find Shi Qingluo.
At this time, Shi Qinglou had already filtered the dregs and put the soy milk on the stove to cook.
There was a large medical gauze in her space, so she took it out to filter the residue.
Shi Qingluo turned her head and asked, “Why did you come in?”
Xiao Hanzheng replied with a smile: “Come in and see you.”
“Do you need to keep the process of making tofu secret? If you do, I will go out first.” He mean to say that he did not come to spy on how tofu was made.
He was just curious about what his little wife was going to do.
Shi Qingluo smiled and waved her hands indifferently: “No need, the family doesn’t need to keep it secret, just watch.”
If people haven’t learned this thing in modern times, they can search for it on Baidu and make it according to it.
The “Traveling Book” given by her cousin also has tofu recipes, and the production method was not very different from what she learned.
At that time, she and her friends lived in the tofu village for three days, waiting to eat the largest tofu banquet once a month, and also learned to make other soy products by the way.
The difference was that she learned and did it in person, while the other was just written on paper.
Hearing that Shi Qingluo said that they were a family and that there was no need to keep it secret, Xiao Hanzheng’s cold and closed heart cracked.
He can see that Shi Qingluo was serious and didn’t have any other intentions: “Then let me see what is this tofu you’re making.”
Shi Qingluo chuckled lightly and said: “Okay, for the sake of being so upright, I’ll give you the first bowl of soy milk and tofu beancurd later.
She heard the conversation between Xiao Hanzheng and several people just now.
This guy was too smart and resourceful so that she can do what she wanted to do.
The main point was, that credibility when he spoke about it was higher than hers. After all, he was the one who was awakened by luck.
Xiao Hanzheng knew what she was referring to, so he said with a smile in his eyes: “I’m looking forward to it.”
After a while, the soy milk boiled, Shi Qingluo scooped up a few bowls and added some sugar left over from the banquet yesterday.
She stirred it with chopsticks, picked up a bowl, and handed it to Xiao Hanzheng: “Come, have a bowl of soy milk first.”
She then added: “Drink a cup of soy milk every morning, it’s good for your body.”
Xiao Hanzheng took it and took a sip, “Not bad.”
The taste was okay, and it has a strong soybean fragrance.
Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi also took a sip from the bowl: “It’s delicious!”
Shi Qingluo asked the two of them to take out the remaining soy milk for Mrs. Kong and the others to drink.
Then start using the brine to make tofu.
