Rebirth after the 1950s

When I was making braised pork, I remembered that I could use brine to make dried tofu, so I soaked some soybeans and made a few plates of tofu. Anyway, I had a grinding stone in the space, grinded the soybeans myself, and ordered the brine myself. It was not difficult. I used braised pork first. I made some dried tofu from the brine, and some more spiced dried tofu.

Making five-spice dried tofu is not difficult, just prepare the ingredients first: tofu, water, onions, garlic, ginger slices, peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves, cumin, red pepper, salt, rock sugar, light soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, and soy sauce.

After preparation, cut all the tofu into thin and even slices. After cutting the tofu, place it on a steamer covered with a cage cloth. Boil water in a pot. Steam directly in the pot after the water boils. Steam over high heat for 5-6 minutes. Steam the tofu. When done, take it out to cool.

Then place it on a breathable tool covered with gauze. After one layer is laid, you can lay another layer, and finally put a heavy object on it and keep it pressed for 5-6 hours.

Take the tofu out after pressing it for a few hours. At this time, the tofu is very solid and cut into two halves in the middle.

Pour water into the pot, add onions, garlic, and ginger slices, then add peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves, cumin, and red pepper, then add salt to taste, then add a few rock sugars, light soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, Add a small amount of soy sauce, and finally add the chopped tofu and stir, cover the pot and bring to a boil, then turn to the lowest heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, turn off the heat, and then soak in it for half an hour.

Now that's it, take out the tofu and spread it on a breathable tool to dry the moisture.

After doing this, I started to make food. First, I sent out several bowls of noodles, including white noodles, corn noodles, sweet potato noodles, two-way noodles, and three-way noodles. For a few days in a row, I either steamed steamed buns or steamed buns.

Whether it's steamed buns or steamed buns, they come in 2 pieces each, and a steamer can hold 100 of them.At last count, there were 500 steamed buns each made of white flour and two-sided noodles and three-sided noodles, and there were also 500 steamed buns made of corn flour and sweet potato noodles.

In addition, I felt that I didn't eat enough at ordinary times, so I steamed big buns with various fillings.200 each of pork and cabbage stuffing, cabbage, tofu and vermicelli stuffing, pork and sauerkraut stuffing, fungus and egg stuffing, soy sauce mushroom stuffing, pork and leek stuffing, pork and celery stuffing, and pork and radish stuffing.After these are steamed and cooled, they are placed in cloth bags and placed in baskets.

After doing all this, I thought about the bean buns that are most commonly eaten by Northeasterners. I searched in the space and found that there were not many beans left. There were only some red beans and mung beans left, so I soaked them all. Soak in water first, steam in the upper pot, wait until it's cooked, cool it down, add some sugar and stir it, it's the same as making buns, but make it like a steamed bun, steam it in the upper pot, steam for 30 minutes.

In this way, we were busy on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. As soon as we finished our work, we heard Chen Enpeng standing next door in the yard and shouting: "Mianmian, Jiezi, the captain informed us that tomorrow we will get rations on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. After receiving the rations, we will get bonuses every year." On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year pig is killed and pig-killed vegetables are eaten.”

"Really?" Chen Junjie ran out of the room and asked

"of course it's true"

"Okay, I understand, Chen Enpeng, thank you."

"You're welcome. By the way, Mianmian, how do you plan to get the food distribution this time?" Chen Enpeng asked

"After estimating the remaining work points and all the grain currently available, I plan to get 400 centimeters of corn and wheat for the rest. What about you?"

"Then I want it too"

"Me too"

"Okay, let's go out together tomorrow."

"Okay, Mianmian, please come in quickly. It's really cold outside."

"Who said it wasn't."

In order not to attract their attention, I almost always do it in the space. It is not as warm as in the house. However, the pot in the space kitchen is used every day, the fire is lit every day, and the two briquette stoves are also used. Put the pot on top and don't let it sit idle.

Not only that, I also marinated all the duck eggs I saved this year, and when the time came, I cooked them all, but there were not many, only 360.Of course, the goose eggs were not touched, and were reserved for frying when the farming season was busy.However, I cooked a lot of tea eggs and hard-boiled eggs, 200 of each, but I was afraid I wouldn’t have time to make them by then.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the three of us were still at the end of the line to collect grain, but this time we figured it out faster. We knew exactly how many work points each household had, how much grain it could receive, and what grain it planned to receive.

But I heard from the back that we can't just buy wheat, corn, sorghum, and various beans. There was no way I discussed this matter with Chen Enpeng and others.

"How do you plan to get it?"

"Where are you Mianmian?" Chen Junjie asked

"Forget it, what I got last time plus what I bought is almost enough for next year, but I still want to get more corn. After all, this is more delicious than sweet potato noodles."

"Yes, what else?"

"I plan to get corn for 300 work points, sorghum for 100 work points, various beans for 100 work points, and wheat for the rest."

"Then let's do the same"

When this happened to me, I directly told the accountant what I had just said to Chen Enpeng and the others.

I heard accountant Gu Zhenghua say: "For 300 work points, it is 150 catties of corn, for 100 work points, it is 50 catties of sorghum, for 100 work points, it is 50 catties of beans, and for 271 work points, it is 81 catties of wheat, right?" , Li Zhiqing"

"That's right, uncle accountant"

"Okay, by the way, how do you plan to get some beans? Our brigade now has soybeans, red beans, mung beans, black beans, and peas."

"Uncle Accountant, if you don't want peas, give me 20 jins of red beans and 10 jins each of the others."

"Li Zhiqing, you came to our brigade to go to the countryside this year. The brigade lent you 45 kilograms of grain in exchange for it. Do you understand?"

"Know"

"That's good. You received 2 kilograms of white flour, 8 kilograms of corn grits, 15 kilograms of sweet potato noodles, and 20 kilograms of miscellaneous grains, right?"

"That's right, Uncle Accountant"

"We have to deduct it now. Sweet potatoes have been distributed a long time ago. They can be replaced with grain. According to previous practice, our brigade used wheat to deduct it. It's no problem."

"no"

"That's good. Now you can receive 57.5 kilograms of wheat, 142.56 kilograms of corn, and 80 kilograms of miscellaneous grains. That's right."

"That's right, the accountant said"

"What kind of grains do you want to deduct from the miscellaneous grains?"

"Just tuck the sorghum."

"Okay, you can get 30 pounds of sorghum, right?"

"yes"

"Okay, that's good. Since it's right, just sign here."

After Gu Zhenghua saw me signing, he said, "Li Zhiqing weighed the second child."

"Ok"

After receiving the food, I carried them back on a pole. There wasn’t much food and I didn’t need to borrow a cart.

After receiving the food, I hurriedly sent it home, because there is a more important thing to do, which is to distribute the money. There is no way, we have never seen it before, so we don’t know what the situation is, but I am very excited. I don’t know.
