In the empty woodshed.
Ye Xiaochen was holding the handle of the stone mill with one hand and pushing it slowly with force, while holding a small tea bowl with the other hand, from time to time, he put beans soaked in water into the small hole in the middle of the mill from time to time.
The beans are common soybeans harvested on the farm.
As early as more than a month ago, these beans were ripe and harvested.
Originally, according to the normal time, it would take more than two months to harvest.
It's just that because of Ye Xiaochen's Shennong talent, the beans matured ahead of schedule.
Now Ye Xiaochen is grinding beans and preparing to make tofu.
Originally, there are soymilk machines that specialize in crushing beans, but Ye Xiaochen thinks that the soymilk made by machinery is not as good as that produced by stone mills.
It just so happened that Ye Xiaochen's house had such a stone mill, and it hadn't been used for a long time.
He moved it out to wash it, and grind the soymilk by hand.
Among these beans, Ye Xiaochen also put more than a dozen celestial beans (yellow) and celestial beans (red).
He thought, after putting the fairy beans, it would definitely make the tofu more delicious.
Not to mention, when the celestial beans are ground and blended into the soy milk, a faint bean fragrance is emitted, which is extremely attractive.
When the last bowl of beans was poured into the stone mill, it was gradually ground into bean liquid, which flowed out from the gap of the stone mill and fell into the stainless steel basin below.
The bean liquid in the stainless steel basin is not pure white, but has a faint yellow-red color, which is the color of Xiandou (yellow) and Xiandou (red).
He had eaten Xiandou (red) before, and the taste was completely different from Xiandou (yellow).
The most peculiar thing is that after eating a fairy bean (red), the whole body becomes warm, and then sweats all over, the sweat is black, and the impurities in the body are expelled.
Apparently, senpai (red) has a detoxifying effect.
As for the effect of Xiandou (yellow) is much more peaceful, it should be subtle to improve the body.
At least Ye Xiaochen felt that his body was obviously strengthened after eating some fairy beans (yellow).
After the beans were ground, Ye Xiaochen moved the rotating disc of the stone mill away, rinsed the remaining bean liquid on the stationary disc with water, and then took out the stainless steel basin below.
A pot full of bean juice.
The faint bean fragrance is exuded, which is very pleasant.
The next step is to filter out the bean dregs in the bean liquid, leaving only pure soy milk.
Mom took a white cloth bag, which was specially used to filter the bean liquid.
Ye Xiaochen directly took the water basin and poured the bean liquid into the cloth bag. Immediately, the bean liquid came out of the cloth bag.
After all the bean liquid was poured out, the cloth bag was already full.
My mother began to tie the cloth bag tightly, then put it on a wooden stool specially used for squeezing, and began to rub the cloth bag vigorously, and the bean liquid was squeezed out of the cloth bag immediately.
After squeezing for more than ten minutes, until no more bean liquid flowed out, what was left in the cloth bag was bean dregs.
This bean dregs is also edible.
What's more, there are Xiandou (red) and Xiandou (yellow) in it, so it cannot be discarded.
Moreover, bean dregs can also be used to make bean dregs cakes.
The next step is to cook soy milk.
Put the soy milk into an iron pot, put it on the firewood stove, and start a fire.
Keep the soy milk boiling, then simmer for a few minutes to remove the foam on top.
If the soy milk is cooled slowly at this time, pieces of bean skin can be obtained.
At this time, my mother had already used a piece of gypsum to grind the saturated gypsum water in a ceramic jar.
Gypsum water is brine, which is specially used to make tofu.
When brine is mixed with soy milk, a chemical reaction will occur and it will become tofu brain.
After my mother ground the brine, she brought three vegetable bowls from the house, and scooped the soy milk out of the iron pot with a spoon.
Then, Ye Xiaochen and his mother lifted the iron pot from the firewood stove, poured the hot soybean milk into the clay pot with brine, and stirred it thoroughly.
Soon, the white tofu brain slowly emerged.
My mother brought a wooden container specially made for tofu. First, she put gauze on the bottom of the container, and began to scoop the tofu brains into the container one by one with a spoon. Put on heavy objects.
After a few hours, the fresh and tender tofu will be formed.
Tofu just filled the wooden container.
There is only a large bowl of tofu nao left in the clay pot, which can be used for cooking at noon.
Ye Xiaochen picked up a bowl of soy milk from the table and took a sip. It was really fragrant. Although there was no sugar, it tasted sweet.
"Chenzi, yours doesn't contain sugar?"
Mom took out a container containing white sugar and asked.
"Mom, don't add sugar, it tastes better this way, really, just take a sip and try."
Ye Xiaochen said quickly.
"What's so good about drinking without sugar?"
Mom doesn't believe it.
"Really, take a sip and try."
Ye Xiaochen said quickly.
My mother took a sip, and her eyes suddenly showed surprise. It was really delicious, without the sweetness of sugar, but the special sweetness of beans was fully revealed.
And there is an extremely mellow bean fragrance, which is endless aftertaste.
After drinking a bowl, my mother felt unfulfilled.
"It's so delicious, if I knew it, I would have kept two more bowls."
Mom couldn't help but said.
"Isn't there tofu brain?"
Ye Xiaochen also finished a bowl of soy milk, and set his sights on the bowl of tofu nao.
He took a spoonful of it and ate it.
Really good, the tofu nao is extremely fresh and tender, it is simply delicious in the world!
"Don't eat it all, save some for your dad."
Mom also ate a portion of tofu nao, but she finally endured it and left the last portion of tofu nao to dad.
"knew."
Ye Xiaochen couldn't help but put his eyes on the tofu container, wondering how the tofu tasted
A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, if he made bean products from the farm beans added with fairy beans and bought them in Xianquan restaurant, it would probably be a blockbuster product comparable to sauerkraut.
It's a pity that fairy beans are too precious and the quantity is limited, so we can't waste them like this.
You and your family can eat it, but as for selling it in restaurants, forget it.
Ye Xiaochen walked out of the house, and came to the outside of the next house.
Red bricks and other building materials were piled up outside.
The foundation has been laid, with red bricks about a foot high.
Dad is doing maintenance on the foundation with a hose.
In a few days, the construction team will come to officially start the construction.
"Father, I'll pour it. Come back and drink soy milk."
Ye Xiaochen walked over and said.
"It's okay, it will be over soon."
Dad said.
Ye Xiaochen was about to speak when his cell phone rang suddenly. He took it out and saw that it was Li Jiaren calling.
It turned out that there was going to be a regular meeting this afternoon, and Ye Xiaochen was informed to attend.
This regular meeting is mainly to summarize and adjust the company's operations in the last month.
In addition to the heads of various departments of the company, the participants of the regular meeting also include shareholders of the company.
