The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

Mother Fu seemed to be stunned for a moment as if she had just reacted.

She stared at Lin Xi blankly.

I wanted to say, Xixi, why don't you cook for the next few days? But when the words came to my lips, I felt that it was not right.

He could only stand there awkwardly. His face turned pale and then blue, and finally he collapsed completely.

Seeing this, Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom. I'll cook for the next two days. It won't be too late for you to cook after Fu Huaichuan and I go to South City."

"Mom, Xixi and I may stay in South City for about five days."

The group was so busy eating that Fu Huaichuan even forgot to tell Lin Xi and Fu's mother that he had bought the train tickets.

"My comrade bought us a hard sleeper for departure at 3:30 pm on Friday. We will arrive in Nancheng at around 5 am on the third day. We will stay in Nancheng for about five days before heading back to Lingcheng. So we will have lunch at home on Friday and rest before heading to the city."

Mother Fu: "Go directly to the train station?"

"Ah."

Fu Huaichuan nodded.

"Originally, my third sister wanted Xixi and I to go to her house for dinner, but considering that we had a lot of things to bring, and to avoid the trouble of going back and forth, I took the initiative to reject my third sister's proposal on behalf of Xixi." The latter sentence was obviously said by Fu Huaichuan to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi nodded and said, "Just take care of it. I'm fine with anything."

Mother Fu: "Xixi, then shall we prepare the dry food for you and Lao Si on the train in the next two days?"

"We just have two dinners, one breakfast and lunch at the train station, right? It doesn't seem like there's anything special that needs to be prepared."

Mother Fu: "Don't you want to bring some snacks for the journey?"

"Then should we buy some melon seeds and peanuts to eat on the way?" Lin Xi asked Fu Huaichuan.

Fu Huaichuan: "I can do anything."

Lin Xi: "..."

She felt that it was not working.

Because these things are too dry.

Compared to these, Lin Xi wanted to make spicy noodles by herself, but...

"Mom, do we have soybeans at home? How about I make some appetizers to eat on the way?"

Fu Ning: "Xixi, what delicious snacks do you want to make? Can Dongdong, Chenchen, Xuexue, and I eat them?"

"You can, but the other three may not be able to do it, because the bean sticks I'm going to make are very ruthless."

Fu Liangdong: “…”

Fu Liangchen: "Why do you only make snacks that we can't eat?"

"I don't want to, but I do want to make something spicy and appetizing to eat on the train. But I can make tofu pudding and soy milk for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes, including Fu's mother's, lit up instantly.

Especially Fu's mother, she likes to eat sweet tofu pudding, but she is reluctant to spend the money to buy it.

"Xixi, how many soybeans do you want? I'll go get them for you. Forget it, I'll just get all the soybeans at home. You can use as much as you want."

Mother Fu noticed that although Lin Xi's cooking consumed more oil than hers, she was not a person who liked to waste and squander without restraint. On the contrary, she would maximize the use of these ingredients. So after lunch, she sent Fu Huaichuan to deliver the meal to Father Fu and Old Man Xie.

Also taken away was Fu Liangxue, whom Fu's father had been thinking about.

Apart from these, everyone else stayed and was ready to work according to Lin Xi's instructions.

Seeing that there were still a lot of soybeans at home, Lin Xi said, "Why don't I make some soybean paste and save it for you, Dad, and Xiaoge? Then I'll make some soybean stewed with peppers and Fu Huaichuan to take to the train to mix with toon sprout sauce and steamed bread. Then I'll soak three pounds of soybeans, make some into bean sprouts, and make some into tofu and yuba..."

"What is yuba?" Fu Ning asked.

"Yuba is the skin of soy milk. After it is made, dry it in the sun. When you want to eat it, just soak it in water and you can eat it. It's very simple..."

Mother Fu didn't expect that Lin Xi could actually make tofu.

She was shocked.

"Xixi, can you make tofu?"

"Mom, making tofu is very simple. You will understand when you watch me make it..."

"Is that so?" Fu's mother nodded in understanding.

After a while, she took advantage of the children's silence and said, "Xixi, how about we make more tofu? The neighbors around here actually like tofu and tofu pudding very much..."

"Mom, why don't you just forget it? I'm afraid someone will report me and implicate Fu Huaichuan.

"It is now 1975, and it has not been long since the college entrance examination and individual economy were resumed.

Lin Xi didn't want anything to go wrong at this time and affect Fu Huaichuan's future.

"Then I'll go ask my old sisters if they want tofu. If they do, we'll make some for them. Don't worry, they're very tight-lipped. We can also ask them to exchange soybeans or eggs from home for something else."

Mother Fu found out that there was nothing that Lin Xi couldn't cook, so she decided to go and exchange some soybeans, eggs, etc.

Otherwise, with the way they eat, they will finish the little food she has stored at home sooner or later...

Lin Xi doesn't quite understand these things.

But she did not ask Fu's mother to do things according to her wishes. After all, their family's expenses were indeed quite high.

Lin Xi could understand why Fu's mother wanted to open source her business.

So she said, "Mom, I don't understand these things. You can do whatever you want. But there is one thing, it must be safe. We can't sacrifice the future of our second brother, third sister, and Fu Huaichuan for such a small amount of money~"

"Don't worry, I won't take their money. I'll just exchange it with them for some soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc. But Xixi, doesn't making tofu require gypsum?"

"Can I buy it?" Lin Xi asked.

"If you can't buy it, I can make it with white vinegar."

"Wait for Lao Si to come back later and ask him to find out where he can buy gypsum. If he doesn't have any, you can use white vinegar."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still worrying about whether they could buy plaster, but they didn't expect that when Mr. Xie in the hospital heard that Lin Xi wanted to make tofu, he immediately took over the job of buying plaster and filter gauze, and only asked Lin Xi to make an extra portion for them when she cooked.

Before dinner, Fu Huaichuan and his friends had just brought the food to the table.

There was a knock on the courtyard gate.

When I opened the door, I saw Xie Huaiyun standing at the door carrying a lot of bags.

Without waiting for Fu Huaichuan to speak, Xie Huaiyun walked in with something in his hand and said to Lin Xi, "Sister-in-law, this is what my grandfather asked me to bring to you."

"This is soybeans, this is the mold, and this is gypsum..." Xie Huaiyun took out the things in the bag one by one. Lin Xi wondered if Mr. Xie often made tofu at home because he had nothing to do. Otherwise, the tools were too complete. Lin Xi wanted to start working. "Sister-in-law, take a look. If you need anything, I'll get it for you."

"You guys have prepared so much that if it wasn't for the non-compliance, I would have wanted to make tofu and sell it..."

Lin Xi spoke the latter part of the sentence in a very low voice to avoid being overheard.
