The years when I opened a farmhouse in my hometown

The bitter mango kernel slurry in this gauze net bag is poured into a large bucket every time. It is so heavy that it hangs on the beams of the roof. Two adult tourists push each other to filter the slurry out of the gauze bag little by little. .

Don't look at it, just push it left and right, it doesn't seem to use much force, but only the person involved knows what it feels like.

They were crying in their hearts.

The arms are numb and sore, it's outrageous, and then, if it's just these things, they will be mentally tortured.Those who looked at the nut slurry in the wooden basin below were worried about leaking or spilling out, and what they wanted was to take away the filtered ones and prepare for the next filtration.

Therefore, those tourists who were watching them filter turned into their primary school head teachers. Once they found that the slurry was spilled, it would be a burst of blood and scolding!

"Be careful, this is all paid for by everyone's blood and sweat, is it easy? You are so easily ruined by you, you are still not human, and you will be punished by God if you waste other people's hard work like this!"

"Such a good thing must be treated with care. See that we all went to the mountains and picked just a few. It was so hard that mine was peeled and hurt. Now it is finally beaten. How dare you still eat it?" Splashed, you are hurting me!"

"Are you sure? You can't do such a small thing, so why don't you eat tofu!"

"If you really don't know how to do it, then hurry to the side, don't waste everyone's time, we are all time-critical people, we can't stand such a waste..."

The tourists who were pushing the heavy gauze net bag to filter the bitter mango juice were said to be aggrieved. This aggrieved, the strength of the head is wrong, and more slurry is spilled.

Then I was also irritable in my heart, I was so tired that I was dying, I didn’t want to splash it myself, okay, is the bitter mango fruit here just the one they peeled by themselves?

Lao Tzu's fingers are also super painful, and the nails are broken off.

Now I still want to listen to you group of aggressive people nagging here, they are all irritable, they are so annoying, do you want to live?

Isn't it just making tofu?

Is this rushing to steal your home? They are not good at chasing and oppressing them like this. If you can do it, come here!

Then this position was given to the tourist who kept talking, and the tourist who was full of anger and felt very good about himself resolutely took this task.

Then, they found out that it was numb, so sore and sore, and the waist was so sore that it seemed that the whole person was about to arrive at any time. The man chatted next to him, and he immediately transferred the job.

Unfortunately, the probability of something like this happening is still very small.

With tears in my eyes, I filtered the soymilk of the bitter mango fruit, and saw the off-white slurry flow out, settle, and pour out the layer of water on top, leaving white starch.

It's really not easy.

The tourists felt a strange sense of satisfaction at this moment.

It was as if he had done a great thing.

Seeing that the starch was wrapped in gauze, wrung dry, and then brought to the home of the two invited aunts, put it in a large iron pot with charcoal fire in the stove, and baked it at this flameless temperature, The wet starch in the pot is constantly turned, and as the spatula is turned, the charcoal fire is baked, and the starch becomes granulated and powdered until there is no water, and it is placed in the sieve.

There are too many tourists participating in peeling the mango fruit. The starch produced from these large barrels of mango fruit is about [-] catties. On average, one tourist can get a little more than two taels of mango fruit starch.

That is, it looks like 100 grams to 150 grams.

Fortunately, this kind of dried bitter mango starch has a weight of more than 100 grams, and there is actually a small packet full, just like the crispy noodles often sold in supermarkets, a packet as big.

Tourists who originally thought that they would not be able to share much also found a sense of satisfaction.Because the aunt who helped them dry the bitter mango fruit starch said to them:

"These powders are very durable. Every time you want to eat them, use a spoon to scoop up two spoonfuls, dissolve them in water, then fill a large bowl of water, and boil them in a pot. You should keep turning them while cooking. , put it on a plate and let it cool down, it will become tofu, cut it smaller, put some oil, chili, vinegar, it’s delicious.”

The tourists took the starch they were given and were stunned by what the aunt said.

"That is to say, two spoonfuls of powder can make a plate of tofu, is that true?"

The small packet assigned to me can be eaten at least five or six times. Thinking about it this way, I feel that my efforts for this day are quite worthwhile.

"Yes, if you want to eat a little tender, you can scoop a little less, and it can be shaped, so it won't be so firm to eat." The answers of the aunts made the tourists happy.

The harvest in exchange for this hard work is always so joyful.

The bitter mango starch of all the tourists was distributed, the two aunts, and Shen Xiaoyun didn't stop, they collected the supernatant from filtering the starch before, and continued to settle.

The previous bitter mango fruit residues were washed with water and rubbed with a similar object, just like washing rice, scrubbing in clear water. Under the strong hands of the aunt, these residues that had been put aside were washed again to produce some white pulp.

However, this time, some gauze with relatively large pores was used to filter, so the dregs of the bitter mango fruit became much less.

And those scrub-washed mangosteen pomace dregs were taken out of the molds used to shape the tofu by the aunts, and the washed whitish dregs were put in the molds, covered with wooden covers, and then pressed with heavy stones.

"There is very little bitter mango fruit starch from these scrubbing. We used to scrub it again to make more tofu to eat. Now we don't do this step. Everyone is not short of food, and after scrubbing The slurry is rather bitter, and there are a lot of bitter mango fruit particles left, and the tofu made has a grainy texture and tastes rough.” Seeing that many tourists were puzzled and worried that they might misunderstand, Shen Xiaoyun explained to them.

"As you all know, the time has been too short these two days. There are only a limited number of bitter mangosteen fruits to peel, and there is not much starch for everyone. Eat the tofu with wild game. As for the washed ones, they can be cooked directly in the pot later to make tofu, and they can be taken to the cafeteria in a while. They can be eaten as a dish for dinner. .”

"There is also the last dregs, which can be made into bitter mangosteen bean curd dregs. It will be pressed into shape tomorrow, and it will be placed in the cafeteria at that time. The taste is probably a bit bitter, but when you eat it, the taste will definitely refresh everyone. Eat it For a while, I will never forget it."

Seeing that the anchor's words were all about this, the tourists who had a little doubt disappeared in an instant.

woo woo┭┮﹏┭┮

The hosts are really kind and considerate of them.

At first, they were thinking, why don’t they beat out a little more starch? Could it be that they want to hide it by themselves? Thinking about how stupid they are, in order to take care of every tourist, the anchor really took these bitter mangoes. Used to the extreme.

At night, these turbid yellow-brown slurries become a delicacy in the cafeteria. Looking at the brown, soft piece of tofu, which is still covered with pickled pepper foam and chili noodles, the tourists go down with excitement.

The mouth is full of tender and smooth touch. The moment the tongue touches, the tourists taste the hotness of pickled peppers, the sourness, and the astringent, tingling sensation.

These several taste sensations are stimulated at the same time, colliding on the tip of the tongue, allowing the taste buds to enjoy the ultimate taste feast at this moment.

At the same time, there are fine grains in the soft and smooth tofu, like eating very small nuts, but this bite, bitter, sour and hot, explodes with ten times the pleasure.

Tourists who ate this bitter and mouth-numbing bitter tofu for the first time were both painful and happy.
