Shen Xue Ning said: "Not lacking, but I also had some hard times."

Shen Baohong found it incredible: "Is it still hard to be in a wealthy family?"

"What's wrong with being rich?" Shen Xue Ning said, "I started going to school when I was three years old. After I became sensible, I had to learn all kinds of skills. I got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the dogs. It was like this every day..."

Shen Baohong shuddered as he listened: "No, no way?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "What can't I do? That's it, so I also have my difficulties."

Shen Baohong admired: "No wonder you are so strong, it turns out you have accumulated it since childhood."

Shen Xue Ning said with a grateful tone: "In the Shen family, they also trained me as an heir. Although I have two older brothers, they treated me equally."

Shen Baohong had a new understanding: "The Shen family is not bad. They don't favor boys over girls."

Shen Xue Ning said sincerely: "In the wealthy families you mentioned, they actually pay great attention to the training of their children, and the chance of raising a waste is very small."

Shen Baohong said: "I thought all the wealthy families were playboys."

Shen Xue Ning said: "That's rare. The two elder brothers of the Shen family are both very capable. They have also been trained since childhood. They have good personalities, character, and knowledge."

Shen Baohong looked at Shen Xuening and said, "You think highly of them."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I tell the truth."

Shen Baohong asked: "Are you still in touch?"

Shen Xue Ning shook her head gently: "We haven't been in touch much. Since I have left the Shen family, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

Shen Baohong said: "That's right, we've already left, so don't linger on."

Shen Xuening nodded: "I think so too."

After nearly two and a half hours, everyone had finally managed to take care of the wild boar and sort out the meat. Now everyone could just take the meat themselves.

The village chief decided to give one hind leg, along with the entire hind leg meat, to Shen Xue Ning, which weighed about fifty kilograms. If Shen Xue Ning had not been there tonight, they would definitely not have been able to share the meat.

Shen Xuening accepted it, otherwise the villagers would not be able to break up.

Shen Dong carried the pork and went home contentedly, and the rest of the Shen family followed him home.

After returning home, Shen Dong put the pork in the kitchen, took a knife, cut the pork into pieces, and then put them in the freezer to freeze, otherwise it would go bad the next day.

Liu Juan said: "I will use this pork leg to make soup tomorrow."

Shen Xue Ning stood at the door of the kitchen: "Mom, you can stew green radish, it should be delicious."

Liu Juan said, "Okay, I'll follow your instructions and stew the green radish."

Shen Xue Ning yawned and said, "Mom, I'm going back to my room to sleep. I'm so sleepy."

Liu Juan said quickly, "Go to bed quickly. You've been delayed for so long today. You won't be able to sleep well tonight. Get up later tomorrow."

"I know." Shen Xue Ning responded, then turned and went upstairs to her room.

The others gradually went back to their rooms to sleep.

……

The next morning, Shen Xue Ning woke up and went to see the sheepdog that was injured yesterday.

To Shen Xue Ning's surprise, the sheepdog had almost recovered. When she went over, the sheepdog ran over and ran around her affectionately.

"Are you okay?" Shen Xue Ning looked down at the sheepdog.

The shepherd dog looked up at Shen Xuening, his eyes bright and lively, as if answering Shen Xuening's words.

"Eyes can speak, it turns out to be true." Shen Xue Ning looked at the sheepdog's eyes and seemed to understand what it wanted to express.

Shen Xue Ning smiled and patted the sheepdog's head: "Now that you are well, I won't worry anymore."

The sheepdog ran out happily, as if to prove its good words to Shen Xuening.

"You guys really understand human nature. I would be heartbroken if I lost one of them." Shen Xue Ning was relieved. "I'll go back and eat first, and then I'll bring you food. Wait for me."

Shen Xuening turned around and went home.

More than half an hour later, Shen Xuening came back with a lot of food in her hands and distributed it to the animals.

After eating, the animals started their day’s “work”.

……

Shen Dong carried the beans to the stone mill, then fetched some water to rinse the stone mill, and then used the stone mill to grind the beans.

This stone-grinded soy beans requires one person to push the mill and another person to put the beans in. The soy milk ground out is very fine, not inferior to that made by machine.

Shen Xue Ning came over to help Shen Dong put the beans in. When Shen Dong pushed the millstone, Shen Xue Ning used a spoon to scoop the beans and water into the opening in the middle of the millstone. When the millstone was pushed, the beans would be ground into soy milk along the grain.

The yellow beans and green beans are mixed together, and the ground soy milk is beautiful green in color and has a strong bean aroma.

Shen Xue Ning felt that pushing the stone mill was quite strenuous: "Dad, shall we buy a machine to thresh the beans?"

"Stone mill is fine, why do we need a machine?" Shen Dong still has the old idea, save as much as possible and make do with what you can.

Shen Xue Ning said: "The machine is easier, there is no need to push it so troublesome."

Shen Dong's thoughts are not easy to change: "I don't think it's a problem. It's fine. I've been doing this for decades."

The two of them had different ways of thinking, so Shen Xue Ning didn't say much: "If you want to buy something in the future, tell me and I'll buy it for you."

Shen Dong felt that he couldn't be too abrupt, so he agreed: "Okay."

Shen Xuening added a spoonful of beans into the stone mill, and watched the soy milk flow down the edge of the stone mill little by little and gather into the bucket. In fact, this process was quite relaxing.

After a while, Grandma Zhao from the village came. She was also preparing to grind beans and eat tofu: "I didn't expect to run into you today?"

The stone mill in the village is public and there is only one, so everyone can use it.

Shen Dong greeted: "Auntie, how many beans are you going to grind today?"

Grandma Zhao smiled and said, "I'll grind one and a half pounds, how about you?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I have more. I'll grind three pounds. There are many people in my family, so I can grind a little more."

Grandma Zhao said, "That's a bit too much. We need to boil two pots."

Shen Dong has wanted to eat tofu for a long time: "Yes, I haven't eaten tofu for a long time. I'll make more now and eat enough."

"People here like to eat water tofu. If we don't eat it for a while, we will miss it." Then Grandma Zhao said to Shen Xue Ning, "Ning Ning, have you seen this kind of stone mill in the city?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "This kind of thing is only available in the village, not in the city. I only saw this kind of stone mill after I returned to the village."

Grandma Zhao said, "Everything in the village is made by machines, not stone mills."

Shen Xue Ning said: "That's true. In the city, people buy everything they eat at the market or supermarket. They rarely cook it themselves."

Grandma Zhao said, "The city is good. It's convenient and clean."

Shen Xue Ning said: "But the food in the city is not as delicious as the food in the countryside. Vegetables are grown with a lot of pesticides or fertilizers, and chickens, ducks, and fish are also raised with feed."

Grandma Zhao doesn't like the city anymore: "Then I'd rather live in the countryside. The food is clean and safe, and the air is good."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "The city also has its advantages, such as convenient transportation, lots of delicious food, and lots of fun. There are parks, cinemas, and so on, where everyone can have fun."

Grandma Zhao said: "These are of no use to me. I still like the village, where I am free."

Shen Xue Ning said: "The countryside is indeed very free, with less stress in life and safe food to eat. You will have a better life here."

Grandma Zhao nodded: "You are talking about..."

After a while, Shen Xuening's family finished grinding the beans. They rinsed them with water, then moved the bucket away and let Grandma Zhao grind the beans.

Grandma Zhao came with her daughter-in-law. She pushed the millstone, and her daughter-in-law added beans for her.

"Aunt, we'll go back first." Shen Dong greeted.

"Okay, take care." Grandma Zhao responded with a smile.

Shen Dong went back carrying the beans.

Liu Juan had already cleaned the pot. Shen Dong took the soy milk back, filtered it, and poured it into the pot and started boiling it. The two big pots were boiling together.

Grandma Shen came to the kitchen and cooked tofu with Liu Juan.

The pig's feet have been put into the soup pot and have a little aroma, but it is quickly covered by the aroma of soybeans.

The two of them were making soy milk in the kitchen, while Shen Dong went to prepare the ingredients for the dipping sauce. The most important thing when eating tofu is the dipping sauce. If the dipping sauce is not tasty, the deliciousness of the tofu will be reduced by half.

In this regard, Shen Dong did a good job. He was basically the one who made the dipping sauce for tofu pudding at home.

To make tofu pudding dipping sauce, you need glutinous rice peppers. Shen Dong went to get the peppers to prepare...

"Chef Shen, it's rare to see you cooking..." Uncle Li walked by and saw Chef Shen pounding peppers with a pestle. He couldn't help but make a joke.

"Yeah, I think it's rare too." Shen Dong replied with a smile, pounding the pestle in his hand with all his strength.

Uncle Li came over and took a look: "Eat tofu pudding?"

Shen Dong deliberately asked: "How do you know?"

Uncle Li said with a smile: "Who else would make this kind of chili?"

Shen Dong smiled and asked, "Uncle Li, are you feeling better?"

Uncle Li nodded repeatedly, his expression relaxed: "Okay, okay, the doctor said I'm fine, just a little tired."

Shen Dong said with concern: "Then you should rest more. We were scared when you fainted that day."

Uncle Li waved his hand and said quickly: "That was an accident. It won't happen again."

"That's good." Shen Dong took the glutinous rice cake peppers out of the mortar, said goodbye to Uncle Li, and went home.

Uncle Li swallowed and said, "I want to eat tofu pudding, too. I'll go back and ask my wife to make some for me." Then he strolled back.

……

After some complicated preparations, Shen Dong prepared the dipping sauce for tofu pudding and took up most of the space on the table, including coriander, sesame oil, special soy sauce, sesame seeds, etc.

Shen Wenxu came over and stood beside the table: "Dad, the dipping sauce you made is delicious."

Shen Dong asked jokingly: "You know that too?"

Shen Wenxu nodded, his eyes sparkling: "That's right, I haven't forgotten what I ate last time."

Shen Dong touched his son's head. Ever since his son became smart, he was loved by everyone: "You have a really good memory."

Shen Wenxu patted his head and said, "That's right, I have a very smart head. My teacher praised me for it."

Shen Dong said: "You have to be humble and not be proud, understand?"

Shen Wenxu said, "I know. How could I not know such a simple truth? As the saying goes, pride brings harm, while humility brings benefit. I have always kept it in mind."

Shen Dong smiled: "My son is so well behaved."

Liu Juan came out of the kitchen and looked at the table full of seasonings: "This time the preparations are very complete again."

Shen Dong said: "It's a rare opportunity to eat tofu pudding, so we have to prepare some."

Liu Juan said: "This is the first time Ningning has eaten tofu pudding at home, we can't let her down."

Shen Dong was very confident: "Don't worry, I have used all my abilities to prepare this time, and I promise not to let her down."

Liu Juan said in a low voice: "That's good."

It's finally time for dinner.

Everyone came to the dining room, ready to try the carefully prepared tofu pudding. It had been a long time since we had eaten it and we missed it. We invited people from the second and third rooms to come and eat together, and we just added a few more pairs of chopsticks.
