Soybeans have been soaked for more than 12 hours from yesterday afternoon to morning. There is a tradition of making various soy products in the countryside of S City during the Chinese New Year, so making tofu is not difficult.
Ji Cha found the bean grinder he had prepared earlier, and dragged the production site to the open field beside the well.
There are no other wells nearby, and the army still has to come to the factory to fetch water while digging wells. Seeing Ji Cha in battle today, I couldn't help but ask him, "What are you going to do?"
There is more than one place that attracts people's attention in the factory building. The green vegetable fields and various sprouted vegetable seedlings are enough to attract attention.
The soldier who was in charge of getting the water was called Zhao Tiankuo. He was only in his early twenties, and he was from the north.
"I'm going to make tofu," Ji Cha replied to Zhao Tiankuo, and said again, "By the way, I want to ask if there is any tofu in your place. Old tofu, Qianzhang, oily tofu are all fine, as long as you have soybeans, I can do it." Do."
"That's good," Zhao Tiankuo complained again, his eyes lit up, "You don't know that we haven't eaten fresh vegetables for several days. Some time ago, they still had vegetables grown in the fields, but they ate them for two days. It’s gone, now Tiantian canned canned food is so pale, I just want to eat something fresh!”
"Not only tofu, but soybeans can also produce bean sprouts." Seeing that there is a connection, Ji Cha hurriedly continued to sell, "The bean sprouts are also very fast and nutritious. We have eaten a lot here."
Zhao Tiankuo said, "I'll go back and report to the leaders above. I think it will be successful, and I won't let you do it for nothing. I think it will give me some food profits."
What Ji Cha wanted was actually the safety guaranteed by the army. Of course, it would be the best if there was additional profit, and if there wasn't, it wouldn't be a big deal.
After soaking overnight, the swollen and softened soybeans were mixed with water, and then they were ground into white raw bean dregs by a bean grinder. They were filled with three large buckets, and it is estimated that making tofu alone can make hundreds of catties.
Vegetables have also flourished since they grew luxuriantly. Jicha opened up another large field a few days ago and sowed all kinds of crops collectively called vegetables. The whole field.
If you just eat it at home, you can’t finish it. Here, the season tea preparation is divided into two methods, one is to send it to the army to be eaten by the upper-level leaders, and to open a way for him to expand the planting scale in the future. The green vegetables are dried and processed into prunes, which not only prolongs the shelf life, but also tastes different.
Opening the way there is Ji Cha's idea that he has vaguely started to have recently. He established such a self-sufficient system in the factory at the beginning because he wanted to survive without relying on others, let alone repeat the experience of working on the farm. But now Ji Cha understands that this kind of thinking is unrealistic, not to mention the large factory building, it is impossible for him to be completely isolated from the outside world in a social base.
It's better to start the farm by yourself, this step must be done through the army. After all, the land inside the factory building is not enough to open up a farm.
Zhao Tiankuo came back not long after, and he brought an officer who was obviously more senior than him.
At that time, the raw bean dregs were boiled on the earthen stove and bubbling, and the air was filled with the aroma of beans.
"This needs to be done a little more, who can eat if this amount is not enough!" The person who came also said quickly, "We discussed it just now. I'll give you two, and I'll give you some subsidies for the firewood, what do you think?"
This has already surprised Ji Cha, and he nodded without any hesitation at the moment, and then said, "No matter how large the scale is, I may not have enough manpower here, can you give me a quota for military recruitment? It doesn't have to be every day, Just leave five for me every day when making tofu, and I'll pick someone up then?"
This bit of right is just a matter of letting go. The officer nodded and said bluntly, "That's easy to say. I'll go and say hello to them later. I'll have the beans delivered in the afternoon. You can start making them tomorrow."
"That's good." Ji Cha breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll let Zhao Tiankuo take some back when I make tofu here."
The officer smiled, looked at the green vegetables in the field, and said pointedly, "The vegetables you grow here are not bad..."
Ji Cha has been mixed in the Doomsday Farm for so many years, do you still understand what it means, and said very politely at the moment, "It is very good, it is tender, just put some salt and it will be fried fragrant, and I will send tofu later I will pick two catties and send them over together."
"Speaking of this," Ji Cha took advantage of the opportunity to bring up his thoughts, "I don't have other resources here, and growing vegetables and food is not bad. If there are a few fields up there, I can also help manage them."
This speaks to the heart of the officer. Although they now have a few large granaries of grain, which they can eat for several years, once the base is established, people from all over the world will be attracted to enter. When the population grows geometrically, the grain may be gone at any time. no. Now Ji Cha's proposal to help grow food can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of the military.
It's just that this is still a very big decision, unlike making tofu, the officer can make his own decision. He thought for a while, then pondered, "Well, you make tofu for two days first, and if it's okay, I'll go back and talk to the above. The leader said, plan this matter, and then see if it can be handed over to you."
For the time being, Ji Cha was already very happy with this result, he nodded, "Thank you very much."
As soon as the officer left, other people in the factory surrounded him.
"Everyone don't have to worry about going out to find something to do." Ji Chadao, "If you can successfully hook up with the army, wouldn't it be much better than going outside and working hard?"
Li Xiuqin was very appreciative of Ji Cha's actions, "That's not the case, we have few people, I think those people outside are creepy, and no one would dare to bully them if they are with soldiers."
"It's pretty good," Wang Qinxue said.
"I think there is a high probability that the higher authorities will allow us to farm outside. Only when we have the resources in our hands can we be hardened." Ji Cha recalled that the farms in the S base used to be rich jobs for not only small workers, but also for those inside. The small leader is also the object of flattery from outsiders.
A bowl of green vegetables on the black market can be compared to half a month's income of ordinary people, but don't they all flow out of their fingers? Ji Cha has deeply felt such a power gap, but he never thought that he would also stand on the other side of power.
What he can do is try not to repeat the same mistakes. Ji Cha's hope is to expand production so that everyone can eat meat and vegetables and live comfortably. It will definitely take a lot of effort, but it's worth the effort.
Liang Jincheng is still the same today as yesterday, he went out in the morning and didn't come home until evening.
The grain truck from the army arrived as scheduled, and unloaded several thousand catties of soybeans from it. The grain transporter and Ji Cha counted the beans on one side, and then said, "You have to keep an account of how much you make. Tomorrow, let's make about a thousand catties of old tofu." , send out three hundred catties of bean sprouts, and I will give you 10% of the catty, and the firewood will be delivered by a car tomorrow."
The accounts are very clear.
The soybeans were being transported here, and there were workers who hadn't left at the place where the construction started, all of them vaguely cast their eyes on Ji Cha at this moment. People and vehicles of the army come and go here all day, and everyone is watching.
After this, all kinds of people who used to gather at the gate of the factory building every day were gone.
The factory was relaxed, and Ji Cha also felt very happy.
A total of 120 catties of tofu were made today, and the profit of making tofu from soybeans is actually very high. Generally, one catty of soybeans can produce three catties of tofu, and if it is soft tofu, it will be more, or even more than four catties.
Ji Cha sent fifty catties to the army, and added another ten catties of vegetables. Zhao Tiankuo didn't say anything, but the smile on his face was like a flower, and he went back happily with tofu and vegetables.
There are still seventy catties of tofu left here, and the family can't finish it by themselves, so Ji Cha set up a small stall at the entrance of the factory building, and bartered after the people on the construction site got off work in exchange for canned food and grain.
One can for two catties of tofu, or two or two meters for one catty of tofu.
When the stall was first set up, most of the people stood at a distance with tentative eyes and looked at it. When two brave ones came and changed the tofu smoothly, more people came over.
The taste of the canned food distributed by the army is not bad, but canned food is not as attractive as fresh tofu, let alone placed in front of a group of homeless people who haven't eaten fresh food in a long time.
The sixty-eight catties of tofu brought out by Ji Cha were distributed in less than an hour. Some people who lived far away saw their neighbors bringing home fresh tofu and asked where their tofu came from, so they came here in a hurry It's too late, the tofu has already been replaced by others, they can only ask if there is any tomorrow.
This season tea is also uncertain, I can only tell them that this is left over for the troops, there may be some tomorrow but the quantity will not be large.
Just like this, many people kept their minds, planning to come here early tomorrow to exchange for a piece of tofu.
Satisfied, Ji Cha put away the stall and moved all the canned rice noodles back, and soaked the beans for tomorrow's tofu. Fortunately, he bought a lot of barrels and gauze with a very dense grid early, otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that there were enough tools to make more than a thousand catties of tofu at a time.
A thousand catties of tofu needs to be soaked with at least three hundred catties of beans. He weighed them with an electronic scale and soaked them separately, and then he did not forget to record all the accounts in his notebook, and he was going to check the accounts with the troops tomorrow.
As for the bean sprouts, it takes a long time to wait, but because I don’t know how many times I have done this at home, so I am very familiar with the ratio and put it together. It takes about three days before the harvest can be harvested.
Liang Jincheng returned home under the afterglow of the setting sun, not as tired as yesterday, and bid farewell to Qin Shuang at the door.
Ji Cha happened to be standing at the door looking around, and felt a little sour when he saw this, and he still remembered Liang Jincheng's inexplicable escape last night.
"Are you tired today?" Liang Jincheng didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong at all, and walked to Jin Cha's side, still talking to him with a gentle expression.
"A little tired, are you tired?" Ji Cha stared at Liang Jincheng, scanning his body up and down, "Shuangshuang, why didn't she come in and sit down, have you been together all day long?"
Liang Jincheng nodded, "She still has things to do, so don't be too polite."
He was wary that Ji Cha would be seduced by her if he saw Qin Shuang a few times, but he didn't know that Ji Cha already felt that his mind was seduced by that little fairy Qin Shuang.
Otherwise, why don't you say what he and Qin Shuang did outside all day, otherwise why don't you want to accompany him now
Ji Cha remembered that Liang Jincheng was with him every day before, even grabbing a hoe to work, that was a lot of love, now that he got it, it doesn't matter
Angry in his heart, he once again turned Liang Jincheng into a scumbag in his mind.
"Why did you leave suddenly last night?" Ji Cha couldn't help asking.
Liang Jincheng was silent and did not speak immediately.
Ji Cha was suspicious and wanted to ask, "Why?"
The two stopped at the door, and there were many people sitting in the living room. Liang Jincheng remained silent for a while, then turned to Ji Chadao, "Shall we go upstairs to talk?"
Ji Cha looked back at the people in the living room, thought about Liang Jincheng's bad record, and was afraid that he would do something out of the ordinary here, so he nodded immediately, "Okay."
The two went upstairs one after the other, and the upstairs living room was very empty.
"Can we talk now?" Ji Cha was a little annoyed.
"Last night, I was afraid that if I stayed here again, I wouldn't be able to resist being rough on you." Liang Jincheng stood at the stairs and didn't go any further, his eyes were burning two steps away from Ji Cha, "It's like now I can't go any further Now that I'm gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to help continuing what I didn't finish last night."
"..." Ji Cha quickly took a step back, "You have to control yourself, it's still broad daylight!"
Liang Jincheng laughed softly, "Chacha, don't do this."
"What is this..." Ji Cha was puzzled, "Why are you laughing?"
He always felt that Liang Jincheng seemed to be laughing at himself now, and there was a lot of malice in his smile.
Liang Jincheng walked forward slowly, "Because you are so cute, I can't help but think," he stopped in front of Ji Cha, took his hand and kissed him, then lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek Take a sip, "I can't help but want to kiss you, or do something more outrageous..."
Ji Cha blushed, and said in a rough voice, "You, you can order as much as you want!"
Liang Jincheng hugged Ji Cha into his arms, "Just like now, I want to kiss your eyes, then your lips, and finally..." Liang Jincheng hid the last words between his lips , his gaze passed Ji Cha and landed on the sofa behind him.
Ji Cha was puzzled, struggled to break free from his embrace and looked back, wondering, "What are you looking at...?"
He finally got used to Liang Jincheng's hooliganism, and wanted to hear what he said later, why did he suddenly get stuck
The thin blanket on the sofa with the same color as the sofa moved suddenly, and Ji Cha's originally calm face suddenly turned red, as if blood could drip from it.
Fuck, fuck, someone! ? ? Ji Cha, who was so shameless, felt that he could explode on the spot.
And Zhang Xing, who was sleeping on the other side of the sofa, also felt that he might just stand up and jump from the second floor and it would be all over.
