The years when I opened a farmhouse in my hometown

The tourists devoted themselves to peeling the shells of the bitter mango nuts. Apart from eating, they spent the rest of their time tinkering with this thing. Even though the conditions were difficult and the tools were simple, everyone's interest was very high.

Most of them were peeled off into a small half pot. After weighing the weight and calculating the merit points, these bitter mango nuts were soaked in clean water, because the water needs to be changed constantly, so that the bitterness in the nuts can be removed as quickly as possible. The taste disappears.

So, this night, a few waves of tourists were left to take charge of changing the water for these bitter mango nuts.

Not to mention, more people means more strength. Two hundred people peel together. After one day, there are several buckets of these nuts alone.

Looking at the pots and buckets filled with a lot of brown bitter mango nuts, the tourists feel ashamed, but now, they are very happy in their hearts.

The fruit of this kind of labor is a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, which cannot be described in words.

In short, the tourists saw that they were black, as if every finger was dyed by dark brown paint, and they laughed or laughed.

It's a bit ruthless, the peeling is very terrible, and the nails are broken.

It can be said that this year's tourists are very fond of hard work. Seeing the characteristic pair, everyone happily took pictures and posted them on Moments, quite complacent.

So, a large group of relatives and friends who didn't know the truth asked in Moments: What's wrong?

Assigned to the countryside to do coolies?

Because he was going to make tofu at the tofu shop early in the morning, Shen Xiaoyun also reminded everyone early to go to bed early, as there would be a lot of work for them to do tomorrow.

This bitter mango tofu is what you need, and those laborers are doing the work yourself.

Many tourists did not participate in this activity, not because of the hardships, they only know that they can finally eat it in their mouths.

So I fell asleep with excitement and anticipation.

The next day, very early in the morning, this group of tourists had breakfast early, and some of them left Yunshui Village with thousands of instructions to send a message to Shen Xiaoyun, so that the farmhouse, don't forget their share.

Regarding the concerns of these tourists, Shen Xiaoyun really didn't have so much time to reply one by one, so she simply sent a group notification, saying that as long as the merit points are recorded, they will not be forgotten.

Although tourists are all contributing today, people are still needed to direct.

Shen Xiaoyun also invited two elders from the village who know how to make kumango tofu. They are two village women, and they are quite skilled in making kumango tofu.

Shen Xiaoyun knew how many catties she had, and if she was fine by herself, if she tortured her blindly and worked slowly, she might be able to make this bitter mango tofu.

But let him teach a group of tourists who have never touched this to make tofu, Shen Xiaoyun is not sure about it.

If these large buckets of bitter mango nuts were wasted, Shen Xiaoyun might have to face the wailing and howling of two hundred tourists. He couldn't afford this responsibility.

"Let's go, everyone go to the mill. We will assign work later, make the tofu early, and finish the work." Holding a selfie stick, Shen Xiaoyun led the enthusiastic tourists of more than 100 to the village's tofu workshop.

This morning, some tourists have already gone back.

I don't know how sad I was on the expression at that time.

They really don't want to leave at this time.

There are also holiday tourists watching this scene, and the satisfaction in their hearts has inflated how many heights.

The tofu workshop in the village is a place shared by everyone. It is a bit like a factory building outside, with a lot of space inside.There are several stone mills for grinding tofu alone, and these stone mills are very powerful.The most commonly used is to celebrate the New Year. This stone mill does not stop all day long. After the stone mill finishes grinding the beans, the soaked soft beans are ground into white soy milk, bean curd residue, and the beans are sent from family to village. , pushing a stone mill, or pulling it with a donkey.

Some stone mills are used to make tofu, and some are used to grind fried rice. These rice are ground into fine particles, which can be used to make delicious tamales.

Like sun-dried corn, clean corn kernels are put into the entrance above the stone mill, and as the stone mill rotates, layers of golden waterfall curtains fall down.

Sun-dried peppers, as if ground, become paprika.

In short, this stone mill plays an important role in the daily life of the village.

The stone mill in this tofu workshop has not been used much during this period, so it is covered with pockets, coir raincoats, and snakeskin bags to prevent dust and insects from falling into it.

However, when in use, you still have to wash it with clean water and dry it before using it.

Shen Xiaoyun first took everyone to fetch some clean water from the well outside the tofu workshop, and cleaned the stone mill, the gauze net bag for filtering inside, the wooden tub and barrel.

The tourists didn't show any shyness about these jobs they had never done before. They rolled up their sleeves and struggled to do the work one by one. Just looking at their posture, they seemed to be good at doing housework.

If you don't look at the water stains on the ground that almost submerge the boots, and the wet clothes, it is estimated that this posture is more convincing.

However, although the weather is getting colder now, it is not very cold.

It's not very cold when the clothes are wet, and the tourists are shouted by the aunts in the village, running like tops, holding hands here for a while, handing something over there, busy to and fro, full of heat, and sweating profusely .

Although, they themselves don't know what they are busy with and what they have done.

But every time I stand still like a fool for a while and rest for a while, someone always calls him to do something...

Pushing the stone mill, and putting bitter mango nuts into the entrance of the stone mill, the former requires a lot of arm strength, and how to use the strength of the waist and legs, otherwise, just push the stone mill close to the inside, With two strokes, an adult can be ripped apart.

The latter requires a bit of ingenuity. If you don’t grasp the essentials, the bitter mango nuts that have been peeled with great difficulty and soaked overnight may be touched by the pushing pole and overturned.

If you get too close, you may be hit hard.

Everyone is looking forward to the game tofu, but when it is really served, it is really hard work.

The man who pushed the stone mill cried in his heart: Oh my god, this is really not a job for human beings, that kind person can help me, mine is all blistered, and my waist can hardly be straightened. up.

And those who release the bitter mango kernels also have their own pain: paralysis, I have bumped into it many times, but no one cares about it, but they all scolded me for throwing the nuts!

After spilling it, it fell apart, and each of them was picked up like a treasure, washed, and brought back again.

Then there was a burst of cursing!

"Where are your eyes! Look carefully!"

"It took me a whole day to peel it off. Big brother, please do me a favor. You should look like you're working!"

A light yellow substance, similar to soy milk paste, was ground here, and the large wooden basin under the stone mill rolled down like a trickling stream.

Some tourists are responsible for continuing. When the wooden basin is almost ready, someone will take it away and change to another wooden basin to continue.

And the soy milk that has been ground into paste is taken to the gauze net bag over there. Each gauze net bag is 1.5 meters long and wide. The four corners are hooked by iron hooks, and one end of the hook is a rope. on the beam.

Under the guidance of the aunt in the village, the tourists push the huge net bag, spread their arms, grab the two hooks of the net bag, and there is another person standing opposite, just like swimming, you push, I push , and pushed up and down, left and right, and saw the beige rice milk in the huge gauze roll in the pocket, which looked like a big ball of milkshake.

The pattering white pulp leaked from the gauze net bag under the push, and after a simple filtration, the white pulp for making tofu was filtered out.

Of course, one-time filtration is definitely not enough, there are still many fine slags in it, which need to be filtered repeatedly.
