Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

Li Qingxiu saw the dry firewood in her hand and ran to tell Li Zheng that she needed to prepare more firewood, because it was difficult to make soy milk without enough dry firewood.

So today, a group of boys whose main job was to open up wasteland were temporarily called by Li Zheng to collect dry firewood.

Li Qingxiu went home and took out a piece of cotton cloth and cut it into several large pieces. Once the cross sticks were ready, she tied the cotton cloth together, and a complete set of cloth was ready.

The atmosphere in the entire valley was a little tense due to Li Qingxiu's sudden mission. Two hours later, what Li Qingxiu said he was doing was completed.

Li Qingxiu, Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang moved the soaked beans to the four new stone mills.

These four stone mills are neither big nor small, but their shapes are a little irregular and not so round. But now there is not much time, so Li Qingxiu just thinks it can be used.

At this time, Li Aniu and Li Lei also brought Da Mao and the three horses over and put ropes on them.

The three horses didn't react at all, but Da Mao just looked at Li Qingxiu with a confused expression, his eyes seemed to say: What is this? Do you want me to pull this ugly thing? Please! Am I a donkey capable of such rough work?

At this time, four men came to the stone mill to add beans to the stone mill and urged Da Mao and the three horses to start walking.

The three horses all spun around, looking like big-haired donkeys with disdain on their faces.

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes when he saw this, then walked over and raised his hand to slap Da Mao on the butt to make him walk.

Li Qingxiu was afraid that Da Mao might be seriously injured and Li Zheng was seriously injured, so he stepped forward and said to Da Mao, "Work well and I'll give you something delicious tonight."

When Da Mao heard this, he made a proud sound, then shook off the donkey's hooves and started walking.

As soon as the stone mill started to rotate, the slightly yellow soy milk soon flowed into the cracks of the stone mill and finally flowed into the wooden barrel. The man next to each stone mill would occasionally scoop a spoonful of beans and pour them into the stone mill's heart.

Li Qingxiu took a spoonful of the ground soy milk and checked it, and found that the beans were not very finely ground. She thought for a while and then asked the two horses in front to grind them for the first time, and Dahong and Da Mao at the back to grind them for the second time.

Widow Jia also came forward and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Is it not polished?"

Li Qingxiu shook his head. "It's not that the grinding is not good, it's just that the beans are not that crushed the first time. You need to grind them a little more to get more soy milk. You have to change the bucket almost every half-way, because you have to add some hot water inside and mix it evenly."

As soon as Li Zheng heard this, he immediately made arrangements according to Li Qingxiu's instructions.

Li Qingxiu tied the cut cloth to three crossed wooden sticks and asked Li Dazhuang and his brothers to cut some wood as supports to tie the cloth on top, and then placed a large wooden basin under the cloth.

Li Qingxiu asked Li Zheng to scoop a spoonful of soy milk and put it in the puti, while she shook the puti with both hands, and the soy milk quickly flowed from the puti into the wooden basin.

While scooping up the soy milk, Li Zheng asked curiously: "Come and pretty girl, what are you doing now?"

Li Qingxiu shook the buti and replied: "This is filtering the bean dregs. What is filtered into the bucket is called soy milk. If you don't filter out the bean dregs, you won't be able to make tofu."

Everyone groaned when they heard it, and then watched Li Qingxiu's operation very carefully.

"Qingxiu, can I try it?" Li Yuqi saw that Li Qingxiu was shaking the cloth back and forth, and he felt that it was not difficult, so he volunteered to give it a try.

Li Qingxiu smiled slightly: "Of course, I'm just going to show you the operation. I have other work to do later."

Li Yuqi stepped forward and tried it a few times and found it quite fun, so he said to Li Qingxiu: "Don't worry, leave this job to me."

A total of three of these buti have been made, and now there are two left and two boys who play well with Li Yuqi also add filtered bean dregs.

Li Qingxiu scooped the filtered soy milk into the wooden bucket, and then raised it to the large pot that had been set up to start a fire to boil the soy milk.

When Widow Jia saw it, she quickly followed her and said, "Let me do this. This is my specialty."

When the soy milk was boiling, Widow Jia couldn't help but swallow her saliva. "This soy milk is white and looks delicious, and it has a strong bean flavor."

Not to mention that Widow Jia was greedy, everyone around her was greedy. They all glanced at Li Qingxiu from time to time with their small eyes. I just wanted to see if Li Qingxiu could let them have a taste of soy milk.

Li Qingxiu naturally received everyone's looks. She also wanted to scoop a bowl of soy milk and drink it with sugar. If she hadn't been on a mission, she would have scooped a bowl of soy milk for everyone.

Let’s get down to business first. Li Qingxiu first asked Widow Jia to put out the fire, and then prepared to cook the second pot of soy milk.

When Li Lei heard this, he helped Widow Jia carry a bucket of filtered soy milk to the second pot to continue cooking the soy milk.

And she scooped up a spoonful of the prepared brine and poured it into the soy milk bit by bit from the side of the pot, not forgetting to stir it at the end.

Widow Jia, who transformed into a curious baby, once again asked everyone's thoughts. "Come and pretty niece, what are you pouring?"

Li Qingxiu replied directly with two words: "Brine!"

Widow Jia didn’t understand at all, so she immediately asked: “What is brine?”

Li Qingxiu was not annoyed by the questions, but Li Zheng was annoyed by them. He said angrily: "Widow Jia, you can do your job well. Why are there so many problems? This pretty girl can tell you the secret recipe."

Widow Jia was not angry when Li Zheng said it, because she thought what Li Zheng said was quite reasonable. She really couldn't ask any more questions, lest she annoy her pretty niece.

After Li Qingxiu was done, he covered the pot with a lid and said to everyone: "It only takes a stick of incense to open it and have a look."

While waiting for the tofu, everyone started making tofu according to the process taught by Li Qingxiu just now.

Everyone was actually very happy, because not only could they eat precious tofu, but they also learned the most important method of making tofu, but they just didn't know what the brine was?

When the time was almost up, when Li Qingxiu took off the lid of the pot, he saw that the soy milk in the pot had turned into curds. Everyone gathered around and marveled when they saw the soy milk in the pot turning into a solid form.

Li Qingxiu first laid a layer of white cloth in the tofu box, and then scooped the tofu curd in the pot into the tofu box.

The men didn't notice anything when they saw it, but the women saw that Li Qingxiu had brought out many pieces of white cloth today, and they all felt sorry for her. They would definitely be reluctant to use such a fine white cloth to make tofu.

After Li Qingxiu evenly smoothed the bean curds in the box, he wrapped the extra cloth around the bean curds, then covered them with a wooden board, and finally picked a big stone to press on the wooden board.

Li Zheng was worried when he saw this. "If you press down this big rock, the tofu inside won't be completely broken."

Li Qingxiu pointed to the bottom of the box where water was constantly leaking and said: "No, using stones to press out the excess water in the tofu will eventually turn it into tofu."
