Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

With the joint efforts of the three people, the tofu-making process quickly proceeded to the cooking step.

Pour the filtered soy milk into the pot and stir it constantly during the boiling process. Chengcheng left the strenuous work to her good brothers, and she only needed to observe the situation in the pot and take it out and let it cool when she felt it was almost done. After the bean skin solidified, she would remove the bean skin, scoop out the floating foam and pour it into the prepared brine.

After letting it sit for a while, put it in a basin covered with gauze, stack it up and find an extra-large stone to press it down. At this step, the tofu just needs to solidify into shape.

The bean dregs that were filtered out previously should not be wasted. Put them in a pot and boil them. Wait for the surface to wrinkle and solidify into bean skin, then use chopsticks to scoop them out and repeat the cycle over and over again.

Just like the layer of bean skin formed in the pot when making tofu, spread it evenly on the gauze.

The soy milk in the pot is done when it can't be boiled any further. The rest will not be wasted and can be drunk directly if you are not picky.

The bean curd skin that was fished out was relatively fragile and was spread on gauze. This work was done by Chengcheng.

It is easy to burn your hands when doing this kind of work, so she prepared some cold water for soaking beans next to the pot, so that you can put the beans in to cool them down if you feel they are too hot.

After the bean curd skins are laid out, they are placed outside to dry. The sun is very strong now and it won’t take long to dry.

The reason why there is no rope to dry it is because the tofu skin is very thin and easily damaged.

Soybeans are a treasure. They can be used to make tofu, tofu skin, soy milk...

Make the best use of everything and waste nothing.

At noon, there was more tofu skin to eat at home. The Bao family thought it was amazing, especially the grandparents, who didn't know that beans could be made into so many different things.

When we talked about how much the soybeans cost, I wanted to do some more, but after learning about the price of the beans, I gave up the idea of ​​buying in large quantities.

This kind of beans are not produced here, and the ones available now are shipped from other places and are a bit more expensive.

But if you do it this way today, you can quickly make more and store it. The tofu skin tastes very good.

When Cheng Cheng saw them talking about buying beans, she asked them to bring back more. Thinking of how her grandparents always had the habit of hoarding and were reluctant to eat even sauerkraut, she hurriedly reminded them.

If the soybeans are stored properly, they can be stored for more than a year. If they are not stored properly, they will become moldy and deteriorate.

Furthermore, tofu and bean curd skin can easily become sour and stale, and require a lot of water.

If you decide to buy it, it’s better to buy less.

Grandma Bao looked at her gloomily and said, "You're pouring cold water on me before I even buy anything!"

"Grandma, if you think of me like this, just pretend I didn't say that."

"Forget it, I won't buy soybeans. I'll wait until you guys make that tofu thing. I'll leave a piece for my family every time and I'll use it to cook."

"Grandma! That's for business. If the sales are good and more people come, it won't be enough."

"It's just one piece and it won't affect your business. You guys are the only ones in our family making tofu and you guys use so much of our stuff. I'm glad I didn't ask you for money."

"Listen to what your grandma said, you're reluctant to leave even a piece of tofu! I don't think your business will work out. How can you be so nagging when doing business?"

"Grandpa! You're on grandma's side too."

Seeing that the family was about to quarrel again, Cheng Cheng held his eldest brother's arm and said, "It's okay, brother, just one piece at a time. There's no point in quarreling any further."

"You paid for your blurred vision, don't you feel bad about it?"

"Brother, please stop talking about it. Aren't you hurting my heart by saying this?"

"Second brother, I didn't..."

"Okay, big brother and second brother, stop arguing and eat quickly."

This matter depends on the situation. Now everyone is struggling to make ends meet and if we don't fill the gap left by our family members, I'm afraid more trouble will arise.

In essence, making tofu is also for improving family conditions. Now it is considered good that we no longer have only sauerkraut to eat, but we can also make tofu skin, eat fresh tofu and drink soy milk.

Once we make more money from selling the products, we can quickly solve the water problem at home, and our food will also be better in the future.

……

The next day after the tofu was formed and sold out, the captain and his wife, who had gone to the meeting, came back riding camels.

He brought back the good news and held a meeting that day to inform all the villagers in Jinsha Township.

The country knows that the problem of water and food shortage here has been responded to and solutions have been provided, and their relief food has also been in sight.

In addition to their township, other townships also attended the meeting, and the focus of the meeting was on this matter.

Jinsha Township had never sent educated youth to the countryside before. Since the selection criteria for educated youth were expanded to include only children, families with children are no longer required to go to the countryside, but other non-only children have to find someone to go to the countryside.

As a result, more and more people needed to go to the countryside to participate in production and construction.

Starting this year, their extremely remote area was also allocated quotas for educated youth, but right after they had settled these young people in, they encountered a drought.

The country cannot just ignore it. Many educated youth in the city have complained about this, but it is not just the country people who are affected by the lack of rain here.

City dwellers also face the problem of having no drinking water, so they specially import groundwater from other areas and sell the water to recover the funding gap.

This directly leads to more people complaining in cities and rural areas. There are still temporary solutions in cities, but how many people in the countryside can afford to buy water?

This continued, and everyone was hoping for rain but it never came. Too many people died of starvation and thirst, and even a gray industrial chain developed.

The city is also worried because there are almost no areas with high grain production in various regions at this time.

In the past few years, there were areas that deliberately reported large production volumes. In order to gain recognition as advanced, many small cadres in other places did such things.

Later, when the grain could not be delivered, the authorities stopped this practice and issued severe punishment for false reporting of production.

Today's data is a bit more realistic, but the current output cannot support the huge population base.

However, the news of distributing relief grain is mainly to take care of the educated youth and farmers in the countryside.

If we don't rescue him, he will die. If he goes crazy, it will be difficult to control him.

To be honest, everyone knows that the relief food will not be much, but it is better than nothing.

The villagers do not have any dealings with the higher-ups, and many of them do not know how much food will be distributed. For them, having food to eat is great news.

The educated youth were also happy because it meant that they no longer had to go to the city to buy food and water at high prices, nor did they have to write letters to their families begging them to send them some food that could be stored for a long time.

Many people had conflicts with their families over the issue of food, especially the educated youth who were assigned to the countryside from nearby cities. When they arrived, the whole family was happy, thinking that they could be assigned to live close to each other so that they could take care of each other.

But gradually droughts appeared, and both cities and towns became miserable, and people in the city also began to worry.

They can afford the increased food and water prices, but they cannot feed so many people. There are so many mouths to feed.
