So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

Looking at the soybeans all over the yard, Sui He was troubled. There were so many soybeans, and she didn't like to eat bean rice. Moreover, eating too much soybeans would cause bloating, and her farts would stink.

"Yes, I can use soybeans to make tofu and sell it. This will not only solve the problem of soybeans, but also bring more income to the family." Sui He was worried about how to make money, and this solved her urgent problem.

Although she has never made tofu, she has watched short videos and learned a little bit from them. Although it is not much, it is enough for her now.

It doesn't matter if you fail, you will succeed one day.

The first step in making tofu is to find a stone mill and ask grandpa if he knows how to make tofu.

"Grandpa, do you know where I can find a millstone?" Sui He ran out and saw his second grandfather sitting at the door of the main hall repairing farm tools. Sui He took a small stool and sat next to him.

"Stone mill? I know, what do you want it for?" The second grandfather didn't even raise his head, sharpening the wooden stick in his hand. The wooden handles of the farm machinery were broken, and he had to hurry up to repair them, as he would need them for farming in the future.

"I want to try making tofu, and I need a stone grinder," Sui He answered honestly.

"Tofu? What is that?" Hearing this new word, the second grandfather put down the tools in his hand and turned to look at Sui He.

"Tofu is something made from soybeans. It's white and tender and delicious." Sui He explained with great effort what tofu is.

"Made of soybeans?" Second Grandpa tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean soybean paste, right? Can you make that stuff?"

"Grandpa, do you know? It's made of soybeans, and the white and tender pieces are made of soybeans." Sui He was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her grandfather knew it. She just didn't know whether the soybean paste in grandpa's mouth and the tofu in her mouth were the same thing.

"I saw your grandfather at the Master's house when I was young. It was white and tender, very similar to what you said. I heard it was also made of soybeans. The Master liked to eat soybean paste very much." The second grandfather said: "I have only seen it, but I have never eaten it. It is such a precious thing, how can I afford it?"

"Sui Sui, can you make that thing?"

"I know how to do it, but I've never done it before. I have to try to see if it will work." Sui He nodded uncertainly. She couldn't guarantee to her grandfather that she would succeed, but she could try her best.

"Don't worry, just do it boldly and leave the rest to God. He will give you the answer you want." The second grandfather fixed the farm tool in his hand and put it aside, then stood up and patted the sawdust on his body.

"A stone mill, right? Wait a minute, I'll go ask other people in the village and find it for you."

"Okay, come back early." After the two discussed, Second Grandpa went to ask the villagers about the stone mill, while Suihe was thinking about what he would need next.

The stone mill can solve the problem, but the tofu mold is still needed, which needs to be customized. And the most important brine for making tofu also needs to be prepared

The commonly used brine is gypsum water, and gypsum is hard to find anywhere except in pharmacies. It seems she has to go to the city.

In the evening, my second grandfather, who had been running outside all afternoon, came back slowly with his hands in his pockets.

"How's it going? Grandpa, did you find it?" Sui He was delighted to see his second grandfather's leisurely look.

Seeing Sui He's anxious look, the second grandfather didn't keep him in suspense and spoke directly: "The village doesn't have what you want, but Zhao Tiezhu's family in the west of the village used to be a stonemason. He knows how to make a stone mill. It just so happens that he has stones at home. He promised to make one for us and send it to us in two days."

"That's great." Sui He breathed a sigh of relief. At least the issue of the stone mill had been resolved.

"The next step is the molds and plaster. Grandpa and grandma, I want to go to the city with you tomorrow." Village Chief Zhao is going to the town government office to get the land deed tomorrow, so she can go with them.

The next day, before dawn, Sui He set out with his second grandfather, carrying a basket on his back. They visited every household in Linjia Village. This time they not only handled the land deed, but also the household registration.

"Suihe, you are going to town too." Father Lin stood by the roadside waiting for others. Standing with him were the two brothers Lin Youwang and Lin Ze.

Sui He said, "Yes, Brother Lin, I'm going to the town to buy some things. Are you going to the town too?"

Lin Youwang was pulling a cart, which was the one they had used when they fled the famine. "Yes, there are many things missing at home. I'm going to buy some supplies."

"What about Third Brother Lin? Is he going shopping as well?" Sui He turned to look at Lin Ze who was standing beside him.

"I'll go to the study in town to see if there's any book copying work."

"That's good." Sui He said with a smile.

While they were chatting, Village Chief Zhao came over and said, "Are you all here? Let's go now."

A group of people followed Village Chief Zhao, and Sui He also walked behind. There were many of them, and there were no ox carts in the village, so everyone could only walk towards the town.

"Suihe, come on up, I'll pull you along." Suihe, who was still walking hard, heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw Lin Youwang had stopped and was standing next to the cart, shouting at Lin Suihe.

"No, I can walk by myself." Sui He waved her hands quickly. So many people were walking, but she was the only one taking the bus. How embarrassing!

"Don't be polite. With your small body, it will take you a long time to walk to the town. Get in the car, I'll take you away. With your weight, it's the same as not sitting on the car." Lin Youwang pulled Sui He into the car without saying anything.

Sui He avoided his hand and whispered, "So many people are walking, and I am sitting alone. How embarrassing."

"Sui He, just sit down. What's there to be embarrassed about? We can go to the town early to get the land deed, and we can come back earlier." The others also spoke up. A large number of them were going to Sui He's house to help build a house. Sui He's family paid such a high salary per day. Not to mention taking a car, they would be willing to carry her to the town.

"Okay then." Sui He climbed onto the car, sat on the edge of the car, and was pulled into the city by Lin Youwang.

When they arrived in the town, Village Chief Zhao took everyone to the government office. After saying goodbye to his second grandfather, Suihe went to the town's medicine shop.

After finding the largest pharmacy in town, Sui He walked in and looked around. There were not many people in the pharmacy. When the owner of the pharmacy saw Sui He enter, he asked, "Young man, are you here to get medicine or see a doctor?"

"Boss, do you have gypsum here? Or fine stone?" Sui He asked as he walked into the pharmacy. Afraid that the shopkeeper didn't know what gypsum was, Sui He mentioned several names.

"Yes, young man, what do you want that for?" the boss asked curiously. He turned around and started rummaging in the medicine cabinet.

"Oh, someone in my family got injured while climbing the mountain, and they asked me to buy some plaster to take back." In ancient times, plaster was generally used to stop bleeding and detoxify.

"I see. I happen to have some plaster here. But it's not enough to just use plaster to treat your injury. I also have some medicine here. Why don't you take them with you? They will be more effective." The boss took out a bag of plaster and handed it to Suihe.

"No, boss, I have other medicines at home. I just need gypsum." Sui He thanked the shopkeeper for the medicine and left the pharmacy.
