Man Bao was thinking about eating all kinds of soy products, and almost forgot about it. When Zhou Zhou Lang reminded her, she started thinking seriously.
Since tofu is the same as meat, wouldn't she be able to save a lot of money on buying meat in the future
As for what to do with the saved money, Man Bao thought: Whatever it is, there will always be a place to go.
Thinking about it this way, wouldn't my money box be full soon
Just thinking about it, Man Bao laughed happily, shook Zhou Zhou Lang and said, "Fourth brother, you are right, we will buy less meat and make more tofu."
Zhou Zhoulang: "... When did I say... I obviously don't think tofu is the same as meat."
But Man Bao ignored him at all, and went to discuss with Xiao Qian, "Sister-in-law, let's try to make tofu tomorrow."
Qian also smiled and said: "Just do it, try to see if you can make it first, if you can make it, make it better someday, and send some to the Bai family."
Xiaoqian should go down.
It just so happens that the day after tomorrow is the winter solstice, and now under the great winter, everyone has nothing to do, and there is plenty of time.
The next day, Man Bao still went to school, while Xiao Qian soaked the beans according to Man Bao's instructions, and took them to the mill to grind soybean milk.
There is only one mill in the village, and there are two mills in it, both of which are in a thatched pavilion not far from the Zhou family ancestral hall. There was no money to repair it, so the wall was demolished, and a sheltered pavilion was built with wood and thatch.
People generally grind flour and soybean flour here.
Of course Xiaoqian couldn't do such a job alone, so he called Zhou Dalang, and Zhou Zhoulang led a group of young people to follow behind to join in the fun.
While joining in the fun, she made sarcastic remarks, "Sister-in-law, why do you believe what Man Bao says? These are beans, which cost eight cents a bucket. Think about how much a catty of meat costs? How do beans compare to meat?"
Zhou Dalang disliked him for talking too much, so he simply grabbed his young man, "It's such a free time, come over and grind the mill with me."
Zhou Lang wanted to run, but Wu Lang and Saturday Lang jumped up and hugged his neck, yelling that he was not allowed to go.
In the end, Zhou Lang was still arrested.
Because the winter solstice is approaching, many people gathered in the mill, and the Chinese New Year will be soon after the winter solstice, so many people took the wheat at home to grind flour, or were grinding rice noodles, planning to eat something better and give it to their children. Let's make some snacks.
Seeing that Zhou Dalang and his brothers were grinding soaked beans, they asked curiously, "What is this for?"
"Make tofu."
"What is tofu?"
Before Zhou Dalang could answer, the village chief who was smoking dry tobacco said, "Tofu, it's white and tender, it's delicious."
So everyone went to the village chief, "Village chief, you have eaten it, what kind of rare thing is that?"
The village head laughed and said: "It's not a rare thing. We rarely eat it here, but there are some outside. Not to mention far away places, there are some in the city. This thing is not expensive. It costs two yuan a penny, cheaper than eggs. , but the taste is good, the key is that there are few vegetables that can be eaten in winter, and many people in Zhoucheng eat it."
"Does the village chief know what to do?"
"It's someone else's handicraft. How can I know it? It's just that I went to Zhoucheng to eat with others when I was young." At that time, they went at the wrong time. It was winter, and rice was expensive, meat was expensive, and vegetables were also expensive. It took a long time to discover tofu.
You can buy two yuan for one penny a day, cut it into pieces and cook it, and you can eat a meal with rice, which is cheap!
The village chief looked at Zhou Dalang after thinking about it for a while, and asked, "Your family can make this?"
Zhou Dalang was very honest, and said with a smile: "How could this happen to my family? It was Man Bao who went to eat at Young Master Bai's house. When he came back and said it, we thought about it and added a dish to the house to relieve the children. greedy,"
Someone laughed and said: "This method is good. Your family will do it first. If you do it, you can teach us later."
Both Zhou Dalang and Xiaoqian said that there is no problem.
While pushing the stone mill hard, Zhou Zhoulang said with a smile: "My Yaomei also said that this tofu is as nutritious as meat, village chief, did you feel that you gained weight after eating tofu?"
The village chief gave him a sidelong glance, waved him away and said, "You're running on me, fourth brother, is your marriage settled?"
The surrounding villagers cheered up instantly, and immediately shouted: "Yes, on Thursday, I have seen the matchmaker go to your house three times in the past few days. Is it for sure? Which girl is it?"
"Have you seen the photo, handsome or not?"
"What's the use of looking handsome? It depends on whether you can do it. On Thursday, you can't mess with the children anymore. When these girls see it, who is willing to marry you?"
"That's right, that's right, let's not mention anything else, I will go to the field with a hoe tomorrow, let the girl take a look, and keep it."
"But pull it down, it's winter, carrying a hoe to the ground, is this a girl or a fool? On Thursday, don't listen to his bad idea, my sister-in-law told you, you have to go to the county town to pull a piece of cloth, and throw yourself upside down first." Yixin, with your face and figure, you can attract any pretty girl."
The villagers laughed loudly, and Zhou Zhoulang blushed, pushing the stone mill without saying a word.
Zhou Dalang couldn't help being happy when he saw it, and then said to everyone: "Stop teasing him, he is young and thin-faced."
"He's so thin..."
Xiaoqian was listening with a smile at first, but when he heard this, he became unhappy, and cut off the other party's words loudly, saying: "Why don't you be shameless, our fourth child is only eighteen, and he has never held a little girl's hand , Can you not be shameless when you talk about getting married? Everyone who co-authors is like you, sweet talk doesn't cost money."
"That's right. I saw the fourth child go to the ground with a group of children to touch the loach. They are so grown-ups. How can they still be the king of children? Can this get married?"
Xiaoqian said indifferently: "It's because he is a little childish, my mother-in-law wanted to find someone stronger to take care of him, and with his wife to take care of him, he will stand up in the future."
Xiaoqian took the opportunity to point out the Zhou family's request for choosing a relative, she smiled and said: "My mother-in-law has long said that it is best for the fourth daughter-in-law to be in a good family. People, as long as they are capable, they can control our fourth child."
Zhou Dalang also quickly took the opportunity to sell his younger brother, "The fourth child is just a little bit off, but the work in the field is not bad, no worse than our brothers, with a daughter-in-law who can control him, the family will be established. "
Don't say it, many people have moved their minds after saying these words.
Some older women even looked at Zhou Zhou Lang directly. Although they were all from the same village, there were not many opportunities to see people from head to toe carefully like this.
Not to mention, Zhou Zhoulang looks really good.
