After filling the hole with water, Meng Huaishao blocked the entrance with hay leaves, and covered it with some soil to hide the entrance. Then he took Ye Yaoyao and went home happily.

These two little pets were really worth it!

When the two returned to the farm space, the crops were not yet ripe.

So Meng Huaishao went to look at the soybeans in the pot.

The soybeans have been soaked and become round and plump. The outer bean skin and the beans themselves have expanded visibly.

He took out the soybeans, washed them twice, drained them, put them into a perforated basin-shaped steaming grid, and then put them in the pot with cold water.

First, steam the soybeans over high heat. After the steam comes up, Meng Huaishao switches to low heat and continues steaming. It takes about an hour before the soybeans are ready to be removed from the pot.

The soybeans are swollen and soft when they come out of the pot. If you gently squeeze them with your hands, they will break into small powdery cakes with a layer of light yellow soybean skin on the outside.

Next, it’s time to enter the drying phase.

Ye Yaoyao watched Meng Huaishao pour the soybeans into a round bamboo winnowing basket. The orange-yellow beans spread out over a large area. She smelled the pure bean fragrance and couldn't help but feel greedy again.

She climbed onto the bamboo dustpan, grabbed a few and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Why do you eat everything?"

Meng Huaishao put down the steamer in his hand and dug out the soybeans from Ye Yaoyao's hand.

"Eat it!"

Ye Yaoyao bared her teeth, but because her teeth had not yet grown in, her expression did not have any imposing manner at all, which made her look even more adorable.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

Meng Huaishao scratched the tip of her nose and smiled dotingly.

"You can eat it if you want, but you have to peel it, okay?"

These soybeans are cooked until soft and Ye Yaoyao can eat them.

But the problem is that the bean skin on the bean doesn’t rot!

If it is not peeled off and gets stuck in the throat, it will be terrible.

Meng Huaishao used his thumb and index finger to show Ye Yaoyao how to husk the soybeans instantly.

He was very skilled in the movements and quickly shed several soybeans, which made Ye Yaoyao applaud vigorously.

"GuoGuo! So disgusting!"

"You try too."

Meng Huaishao picked up a soybean and handed it to Ye Yaoyao.

Ye Yaoyao imitated Meng Huaishao and pinched it gently.

"Hey~"

The beans are gone, but the skin remains.

Ye Yaoyao and Meng Huaishao looked at each other.

Then, Meng Huaishao silently handed over a new bean.

"Hey~"

The beans flew again.

Meng Huaishao: “…”

Pass it again.

"Poor!"

The beans melted.

Meng Huaishao: “…”

"Come on! The skin didn't fly this time!"

Ye Yaoyao held a brand new bean in her hand, feeling like crying but unable to do so.

Is this a compliment?

Between the options of continuing to pinch hard and not squeezing hard but causing the beans to fly, Ye Yaoyao chose to use her other hand to pick off the bean skin.

Finally, the beans and the skins were separated.

Although the beans are broken, at least they are separated!

Ye Yaoyao was very proud. She proudly put the peeled beans into her mouth and took a few big sips.

“Awesome!”

Meng Huaishao praised Ye Yaoyao a few words, then used a small bowl to scoop a handful of beans for her and handed it to Ye Yaoyao.

"Go eat it, and remember to peel it."

"Uh-huh!"

Ye Yaoyao nodded.

Then, he sat down on the spot, holding the small bowl.

She placed the small bowl on the hem of her skirt between her legs and happily began to shell the soybeans, then fed herself the beans without getting tired of it.

After sending the little greedy cat away, Meng Huaishao continued to work.

He spread the soybeans in the winnowing basket evenly and placed it outside the kitchen to quickly dry the moisture on the surface.

Dried soybeans, unlike when they are steamed, become wrinkled.

While drying the soybeans, Meng Huaishao picked up some straw, cut off the heads and tails, leaving only the neat middle, then washed it with water and put it in a clean winnowing basket to dry.

After all the soybeans and straw are dried, it is time to start fermenting the black beans.

Meng Huaishao spread the straw flat on the bamboo dustpan, covered it with a layer of clean gauze, and poured all the dried soybeans into it.

Ye Yaoyao, who had already fed herself, ran after Meng Huaishao again.

She has only eaten fermented black beans and has never cooked them!

Fortunately, there is the "Supplementary Food Encyclopedia" and Meng Huaishao, otherwise, she would probably never have the chance to taste this simple and honest delicacy in her life.

She only knew the existence of fermented black beans, but had no idea how they were made!

Thinking of the taste of fermented black beans, Ye Yaoyao couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

Unfortunately, although Meng Huaishao had studied the tutorial carefully many times, he did not know what it meant, so he could not understand Ye Yaoyao at all.

He even doubted whether this thing was edible.

However, thinking of the pitch-black color of the various sauces, Meng Huaishao felt that the fermented black beans should be edible!

He spread the soybeans evenly, smoothed them with his hands, and then wrapped them with gauze.

So, there is only one last step left.

The beans need to be placed in a cool place to ferment.

Meng Huaishao pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out where the shady place was.

After the wall around his house was built, it became much cooler.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. No matter which direction, there will always be a few hours of sunshine in a day, which cannot be considered shady.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, just put it in the kitchen!"

Meng Huaishao thought about it and finally decided to give up.

He cleared out a corner of the kitchen, placed the winnowing basket containing the soybeans there, covered it with a bamboo winnowing basket, and then called it a day.

This is a backlit place, not shady and cool...

The temperature is the same everywhere in the farm space!

Meng Huaishao stretched heavily and his eyes drifted out the window.

The farm has another good harvest.

"so good!"

He stretched his shoulders and walked out.

Ye Yaoyao followed for a few steps and then ran to the chicken coop.

There are more than a dozen big chickens in the chicken coop now.

I don’t know why, but the chicken coop that originally only housed two chickens now houses more than a dozen big chickens, and it’s still quite loose.

From the outside, it looks like a small chicken coop.

If you have read enough Ye Yaoyao's novels, you might understand that this is something like "Sumeru mustard seed", with its own space inside.

Unfortunately, she hasn’t watched it much, so she can only sigh: Farm Space’s production is magical!

Ye Yaoyao rummaged through the chicken coop and took out three round eggs, with a look of satisfaction on her little face.

"Come on, Chicken!"

She held three eggs and encouraged the obedient hens in the chicken coop.

During this period, there are at least three to five eggs every day.

Even if they removed some of the fertilized ones, it would be enough for her and Meng Huaishao to achieve egg freedom.

"Ahhhh~ Today is a good day~ Ah~"

Ye Yaoyao hummed a tuneless song and skipped back to the kitchen.

Although the refrigerator door is high, it is easy to open with her mental strength.

Putting the eggs into the special grid for eggs, Ye Yaoyao admired the neatly arranged rows of eggs before closing the refrigerator door with satisfaction.

Meng Huaishao has already harvested several plots of land, and she is going to go farming again.
