3. Tofu Saburo

I heard that Luo Sanlang woke up, and in the past two days, some neighbors came to visit him one after another. No one came to the door empty-handed, and more or less brought some rice, flour and eggs.

For a moment, the Luo family became a little lively and the food improved to a certain extent. Every morning, Erniang steamed eggs for Sanlang, but most of them were in the stomachs of the two little babies Liulang and Qiniang.

In the countryside, most neighbors are like this. If anyone suffers from natural disasters and man-made disasters, he or she will come to the door to see them, express his concern, and take some things over there. This is not only a helping, but also a favor.

Of course, a real desolate settlement like that usually does not have such treatment. It is good to have those three or five families with good relationships and soft hearts who are willing to come to the house. We cannot blame the world for being dissatisfied. The so-called relationship between people means having to go with each other. How can we communicate with someone who can't make a fuss? In the countryside, no one has much wealth, and we have to make careful calculations to live a life.

Although the Luo family is poor now, Luo Sanlang, a young man, is still favored by others. When something happened to their family, everyone came here. Many villagers also helped to help the funeral between Luo's father and mother. Now that Sanlang is awake, the neighbors come to visit him with eggs, rice and flour, which shows how the people in this village value Luo Sanlang.

When Luo's father and mother were devoted to Luo Sanlang's study, they expected that he would be successful in the future and that their family would live a good life. This is not the case with the neighbors. As the saying goes, one person can achieve enlightenment and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If one village or clan can produce one or two outstanding people, the atmosphere of the entire place may be different.

Since he woke up that night, Luo Yong's spirit has improved day by day. In just two or three days, he can walk down the ground. At the beginning, he could only rub along the wall little by little, and then quickly went to the yard with a cane to let the air out.

In the winter, there is nothing to see in the yard. A small courtyard is a bare yard, except for three adobe houses and a circle of fences, there are a pile of straw.

There are several scattered farmyards not far away, sparsely located. The residences in this village are mainly concentrated in the north, and it is not clear from this location. The dirt road ahead is bent, and a small slope blocks the view. The Luo family's yard is at the south end of the village, next to the entrance of the village, making it convenient to enter and exit.

Looking up, there is a big mountain, among which yellow and dark green are mixed. Luo Yong knew that the mountains of this era were rich, not only were the vegetation dense, but also many animals. Needless to say, pheasants and hares, roe deer and deer are also very common, and they are all meat.

But Luo Yong did not dare to make any decisions about wild game. He would not mention the jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain. Even if he was swaying a pheasant in front of him, even his small body would not be able to catch him at all.

It has entered the October of the lunar calendar. Although it has not snowed yet, the weather is quite cold. There is a biting coldness in the cold wind. Luo Yong is now weak and dare not stay outside for too long.

He sighed and returned to the house. Speaking of which, Luo Yong had no shortage of food in his hands. The space was still there, and there were still many things there. He had confirmed this in the morning. If it weren't for this, he might have thought that Luo Yong in the 21st century was just a big dream that he had been bedridden because he had been sick for a long time and was not a real existence.

Luo Yong had no memory of how he came here and how he became Luo Sanlang again. He only remembered that he walked alone on the mountain road. As he walked, he came here and became Luo Sanlang, a young man with the same name and surname as him, who looked similar, but was more than 10 years younger.

With more than ten years of youth, Luo Yong has nothing to complain about. In addition, he has room in his hands. Others can't even think about such great benefits. In this case, God will put him wherever he likes to put him, and Luo Yong has no objection at all.

"Sanlang, it's time to eat." Luo Yong was walking into the house with a wooden stick. Luo Erniang had already brought Luo Siniang to set up today's supper.

This summer, several fields on the slope of their family were buried. Coupled with a subsequent funeral and the bottomless pit of Luo Sanlang's medicine jar, the family has basically been hollowed out, and there is neither much land nor much food. The dinner that day was still served with clear soup and poor water millet porridge, as well as a few mixed noodles and some pickled vegetables.

During the Zhenguan period, private salt was not allowed, and the salt tax was very light and the salt price was not high, so it was more popular among the people to pickle meat and pickle vegetables, so it would be a pity to use more salt.

"Brother, eat more." Si Niang kept looking at the pancakes, but Sanlang didn't move, and she didn't dare to reach out to get it, otherwise the second Niang would sue the aunt at that time and she would have to be cleaned up again.

"You guys eat too." Luo Yong said, and distributed several cakes on the table.

There was not much food at home, and he didn't dare to make a big deal. Erniang used a little bit of mixed noodles to make four big, two small and six cakes, one of which was the largest. Luo Yong didn't want it, so he gave it to Erniang. Now most of the work in the family is pressed on the shoulders of this little girl. If you don't eat more, your body will definitely not be able to bear it.

The rest of the cakes were divided, and Luo Yong asked for one of the smallest ones, and the other one was in Luo Qiniang's hands. The little girl looked smart. She was three years old and was actually only over one year old. She didn't even know how to say anything. Now she knew that the cake that Luo Yong gave her was smaller than others. She chewed it while looking straight at Liulang.

Luo Yong looked at Coke and broke half of the cake in his hand and handed it to her. The little girl was happy now, holding the cake and grinning at him.

Liulang and Qi Niang are twins, a little older child, not a mess, not picky about food, they can eat whatever they give and eat a piece of mixed noodles. However, there is really nothing to choose from in this family that can't even fill their stomachs.

According to the original owner's memory, the grain sold very cheaply these days. In the autumn, when the grain from each household was just harvested, some grain merchants from other places collected grain in the county, and a bucket of corn was worth three or four cents.

It weighs a bucket of corn about twelve or three kilograms. The current productivity level is not high, and only a few chunks of grain can be produced per acre of land, so it can't be sold for a few dollars.

Low grain prices are naturally a good thing for those in the city, but not for farmers. However, low grain prices generally mean that the harvest is good in various places, and it is usually not easy to starve to death.

It is a good thing to be able to spend money, but ordinary farmers don’t have much copper coins in their hands. The Luo family is even more poor and has no money to buy grain.

"Sanlang, eat more." Erniang disagreed with Saburo's behavior of giving all the things to his younger siblings, and reached out to hand over the cake in her hand. In her opinion, Saburo should be eating more now, and no one can starve him.

"It's okay, I've been lying in bed for a long time, I have no appetite, and I can't eat that much for a while." Luo Yong said with a smile.

Luo Yong said this, Erniang believed it. Seeing that since he woke up, he was in a better spirit every day, he gradually became stronger and stronger, so he was not worried.

In fact, he had no appetite. He was so hungry these days that he couldn't stand it. He stole food in his room every night. When Er Niang and the others finished their work, turned off the lights and took a few young people to the next door to sleep. He took the food out of the space to chew... It was such a sin to carry these little beans on their backs.

After dinner, Luo used the pottery jars of large and small sizes next to the wall to scoop out a few kilograms of beans from one of them, put them in a wooden basin, and then poured some clean water from outside the house to soak the beans in.

"Sanlang, what are you doing to soak so many beans?" Er Niang felt a little distressed when she saw that he had soaked so many beans in one go. Could it be that she would eat them tomorrow? According to this way of eating, the food at home will not be eaten at the beginning of spring next year.

"You will know tomorrow." Luo Yong said with a smile.

"Brother, are you going to make food?" Goro asked boldly.

"Yes." Luo Yong reached out and touched his head. The baby was seven years old this year and was thin. He looked only five or six years old and had a relatively introverted personality. Luo Yong had never heard him say a few words in the past few days after he woke up.

"What food should I eat?" Si Niang pulled Luo Yong's sleeve and looked at him with a greedy look on her face.

This girl is an extrovert. After seeing Luo Yong wake up these days, she didn't just focus on studying as she used to be. She would talk to them with a smile and give them food. So she got close to him and always wandered around Luo Yong if she had any questions.

"I also heard a businessman from another place say this kind of food when I was studying in the county..." As soon as Luo Yong opened the conversation, the sisters and brothers of the whole family gathered around. Even the seemingly steady Er Niang put down her work and listened with relish.

Luo Yong told them about the tofu, what it looks like, and how it tastes. By the way, he also talked about the various ways to eat tofu, such as Mapo tofu crystal tofu, dried tofu tofu brain. He heard it all over the room, big and small, swallowed his saliva...

In the past few days after waking up, Luo Yong has been thinking a lot about how to improve the economic situation of this family. Although there are many things in the space, they cannot be easily taken out because they cannot explain the reason. Things that are too modern are not suitable for appearing in this small mountain village. After thinking about it, it is best to make some tofu first.

According to the original owner's memory, there is no such thing as tofu in their place. I don't know if it is available elsewhere. In their village, there is no such thing as a county. As long as this thing is made, it will be an exclusive business, and it is not too out of order because it is just a simple processing of agricultural products.

It is easy to make tofu, and the ingredients required are simple. You can use beans to make tofu at home. In addition, there are several bottles of white vinegar in the grocery pile in his space. The first time you can use white vinegar to order tofu, and then leave the sour slurry left over tofu. After a few days of fermentation, you can use sour slurry to order tofu. This is the same as noodles.

Luo Yong planned to exchange tofu for villagers for food. These days, the country is prosperous and the people are safe. The villagers may not have much money, but they are definitely not short of food.
