Chapter 120 Soy milk and tofu skin

Liu Chenfeng bowed and said: "The Analects of Confucius says: A benevolent man establishes others when he wants to be established, and reaches others when he wants to reach them. If a person cannot even stand on his own feet, how can he help others? If he cannot help himself.

If you are enlightened, how can you make others understand? Grandma Zhou helps with cooking and washing

It allows us to have ample time to study. Hiring people to work in the fields is to pursue higher efficiency and not to delay the farming time. But we cannot not be indifferent to the grain. We have not accomplished an inch of work, and have not made a profit.

How can we rest in peace and enjoy ourselves on the merits of our forefathers and forefathers?”

The whole place was silent.

Aunt Xie's face turned red. She didn't understand and didn't know how to respond.

Mr. Liu laughed heartily: "Well said! Diligence and frugality have been a virtue since ancient times. Your willingness to work hard is very valuable. Children can be taught, and children can be taught."

After laughing, he asked Liu Dingkang: "Do you have anything to say?"

Liu Dingkang said: "We can not do it, but we have to do it."

Mr. Liu laughed again: "Yes, yes, you may not need to cook for yourself in your life, but you will not suffer if you learn to do it. If you need to take care of yourself one day, you will not go hungry."

The old lady smiled and said: "I feel a little sad when I hear that my precious grandchildren have to work. But if the family wants to prosper for several generations, doesn't it mean that generations of hard workers have to work hard?"

Liu Chenfeng threw himself into the arms of the old lady: "My grandma has a big picture and a big spirit. She is willing to let her children endure hardship and does not spoil her children."

The flattery was so flattering that the old lady happily praised him: "You are so sensible and knowledgeable." She then called Liu Dingkang to her and held her in her arms, "This kid is also determined and able to stick to his own ideas."

Liu Huaijin also praised them: "I remember "The Analects" very clearly and the explanations are clear and clear. We must continue to work hard."

The two children saluted him and said they would work hard, which made the old lady laugh again.

When we returned to the village the next day, there were a lot of things piled on the carriage: rice and white flour, sugar, oil, soy, vinegar and salt, a few pieces of bamboo cloth, and two copper coins!

The children were all reading and practicing calligraphy in the classroom. Chen Fan waited until they got home before he started teaching new content.

In the afternoon, Chen Fan took a group of children to grind soy milk.

I just bought a small stone mill at home. I washed it several times and dried it in the sun.

Chen Ya looked at the fat soaked soybeans: "What are we going to do?"

"We are going to make tofu." Chen Zhongzhu understood better.

"Is tofu made of soybeans? It doesn't look like it at all." Chen Ya was very surprised.

The children took turns putting the beans into the ancient mill and grinding them into pulp.

"This is called soy milk." Chen Fan told them.

She asked Chen Yue and Chen Ying to filter the soy milk through a linen bag, put the bean dregs on a plate, and pour the soy milk into the pot.

The soy milk was cooked and had a rich aroma. The children took two deep breaths.

"The soy milk smells so good!" Chen Ya is a professional atmosphere team member.

Chen Fan filled more than a dozen bowls of soy milk and put the sugar bowl on the table: "You can drink the soy milk directly, or you can add some sugar."

Everyone takes a couple of sips first to taste the taste, and then adds some sugar to taste. Some people say they like it with added sugar, and some people say it's good to just drink it as it is.

After the soy milk had cooled down a little, Chen Fan began to use gypsum to make a brine. She had learned many crafts, whether it was summer camp farmhouse experience activities or various training courses, she could learn to grind soy milk, make tofu, make sugar, make soap, make paper, and dye cloth...

She also particularly likes the indica rice tofu made from indica rice flour, which is tender, smooth and delicate.

While adding the marinade, she slowly stirred it in one direction with a spoon until many tiny flocs appeared in the soy milk. She then covered the pot and let it sit for twenty minutes to form bean curd, also called tofu curd, or tofu.

brain.

She put some bean curd into each bowl and asked Granny Zhou to cut some green onions and coriander leaves. She pointed at the seasonings and said, "You can add some seasonings to adjust to your favorite taste, sweet or salty.

.”

Chen Ying and Chen Zhongzhu were the bold ones, adding three times five and dividing two, putting a few seasonings in a bowl and moving them aside to mix. Chen Ya, Chen Xiu and Chen Zhongliang were the cautious ones, adding only a little bit. If it seemed not enough, they added a little more.

As if he was still not sure, he added a little more. Chen Yue, Chen Zhongyan and the others were precise, their movements were graceful, and they looked like they had calculated the amount before they started.

When they tasted it, some said it was delicious, while others frowned because the taste was so strange.

"It turns out that soybeans can be made into so many delicious things." Chen Ya answered her original question.

"From now on, we can drink soy milk and eat tofu pudding in the morning. The children will strengthen their physical fitness, and Grandma Zhou will live longer." Chen Fan said.

Grandma Zhou nodded: "I can do it, and it won't take much time."

Chen Fan had previously customized two wooden molds with small holes at the bottom, which were used to make tofu skin and dried tofu respectively. She also prepared fine linen towels and soaked them together with the molds.

First make the tofu skin. She fixed one end of the linen cloth on a slender stick for easy operation. First, spread a layer of linen cloth on the bottom of the mold, then mash the tofu curd with a spoon, put it into the mold, and spread it gently and evenly

Use a thin layer, fold the linen cloth over and cover it; spread a new layer and cover it again. This way, until the mold is completely covered.

Finally, she folded the linen cloth in, covered the mold lid, and asked Chen Zhongzhu to move a flat and clean stone to press it on top, so that the water could be squeezed out.

Next, make the dried tofu. She spread the tofu pudding five centimeters on the linen cloth, covered it with cloth, stacked another layer of tofu pudding on top of the cloth, then covered it with a lid and pressed it with stones.

"It'll be ready in half an hour. You go read a book for a while first," Chen Fan said.

How long is half an hour? The two little girls, Chen Ya and Chen Xiu, couldn't wait. They ran to see it now and then again. In fact, they couldn't see anything. They just saw two big rocks pressing on it.

there.

The most calm ones were Chen Yue, Chen Zhongyan and Chen Zhongmei. They never raised their heads and concentrated on writing. The others were somewhat unable to sit still, but they did not run out.

Finally, half an hour was up. Everyone washed their hands and gathered around the table. Chen Fan disassembled the mold and opened the linen cloth, and everyone saw pieces of tofu skin on it.

"Tearing off the tofu skin is a delicate job. Which of you will do it first?"

"I'll go first!" Chen Zhongyan volunteered, and with gentle yet powerful movements, he successfully tore off the tofu skin.

Next are Chen Yue and Chen Zhongmei, both calm types and very successful.

Everyone went up and tore a few pieces, some were successful, and some were torn successfully.

The children all pulled off a small piece of the torn tofu skin and tasted it.

"It doesn't have much flavor, but it's not unpleasant and quite chewy." Chen Zhongyan said.

The dried tofu was marinated for two hours, and the children each ate several pieces before even cooking started.

For dinner, there are tofu skin spring rolls stuffed with bean paste. The bean dregs are stir-fried with some chives and garlic leaves. They are loose and cute. Ham is already available in this era. Chen Fan cut the ham and tofu skin into thin strips and mixed them with rapeseed.

and chicken soup, and made a big boiled dry shredded dish.

The most beautiful dish is the "Flowers Blooming in Fortune": rolled into a roll with tofu skin, shredded carrots and cucumbers in the middle, boiled and placed on a plate, topped with sauce. Each child made two flowers, with varying knife skills.

together.

Grandma Zhou was very happy: "The meaning of this dish is really good. The flowers bloom, wealth and prosperity are auspicious and festive, and our family will definitely be safe and prosperous."

The children are obsessed with soy products and eat several foods in rotation, eating the same thing every day.

A few days later, Chu Sheng brought news about the Wang family.
