Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

After saying goodbye to Yunshu, Chunni and her two siblings continued to walk towards the east end of the village. Unexpectedly, they ran into Li Long's elder sister Li Shuhua again.

Li Long is lazy and naughty, but his sisters are hardworking and capable. Li Shuhua is only one year older than Chunni, but she is also an indispensable laborer in the Li family. The weather is good today, and she should be drying wheat in the threshing ground.

Seeing Li Shuhua looking angry, Chunni did not ask, after all, the two families had just had a conflict. She did not want to pay attention, but Li Shuhua insisted on following them.

It turned out that Old Lady Li was very unhappy because she accidentally injured Chunni, which caused the family to suffer a huge financial loss. She often threw things around at home and complained about others.

Li Shuhua had her period today, so she asked for leave to rest at home. Unexpectedly, she ran into the trap and was scolded by Old Lady Li so badly that she couldn't even raise her head. She called her a money-loser, a lazy bug, and finally a prostitute.

At that time, most rural women were illiterate, and many of them called their granddaughter a whore. Perhaps she herself did not know what a whore was, and most of these dirty words were learned from female elders or shrews in the same village.

I was scolded when I was young, and when I had children, I scolded them again. The swear words were passed down from generation to generation!

Although Li Damei was young, she knew that these words were not good. She couldn't stand it and ran away from home.

After venting her anger, Li Damei felt better. Old Lady Li didn't allow her to talk to Chunni and her brother, but she insisted!

"Chun Ni, what are you doing with the soybeans?"

"Grind it into powder." Chunni didn't have much objection to Li Damei.

"Grind it into powder? What's the use? I still have dozens of kilograms at home. Usually my grandma fries it and gives it to my little brother as a snack." She couldn't have it.

In this era, soybeans are mostly used to make fermented black beans, stir-fried soybeans, and tofu. But making tofu is a skill that not many people know how to make, and the amount of soybeans used in stir-fried fermented black beans is small. Soybeans are mostly fried and eaten as snacks by children.

Stewing pig's trotters with soybeans is something that can only be dreamed of. Therefore, the local production of soybeans is not high.

Just let the farmers plant some around the vegetable fields!

"I'm going to try making a new food." Chunni said openly without hiding anything.

Li Damei was very curious and decided to go along to take a look.

When Xiazhi ground the soybeans into powder, Chunni and the others went home together.

She first boiled the sweet potato soup in a pot, and then boiled water in an iron pot. This way, the tofu and the sweet potato soup were ready.

Here, Chunni scooped about half a pound of bean powder, added cold water, and stirred it with a spoon. When the water in the pot boiled, Chunni poured the bean powder paste into the pot. When the pot boiled again, she poured in an appropriate amount of sour water. Yes, it is the water from the sauerkraut. When the bean powder and sour water ferment together, it will become flocculent. At this time, turn the high heat to low heat. Tofu pudding appears in the pot.

Chunni threw the wild shepherd's purse that Qiuguo dug up into the pot, and the vegetable tofu was ready.

Xia Zhiqiuguo Li Damei looked at Chunni with admiration and was shocked.

Dong Lin clapped his hands repeatedly and praised: "Big sister is great!"

In Xiao Donglin's eyes, her elder sister is like a god who can do anything!

Chunni didn't think she would succeed at the first try. She took out her chopsticks and tasted it. Hmm, it was not bad.

Fortunately, it was only her left arm that was injured, and Chunni was extremely grateful. Chunni blanched the purslane in boiling water, added some salt and vinegar, and mixed it, and it was another dish.

After Chunni came here for more than a month, she finally had some food that she liked. A few days later, villagers came to Chunni's house one after another to learn how to cook tofu.

For a time, people in Shizi Village would go to the stone mill to grind bean flour from time to time, and eating vegetable tofu became a trend.
