Lin Weiguo and Lin Weimin exchanged a glance, and Lin Weiguo said, "Making tofu is a skill, so let's just forget it! How can we take advantage of you?"

Lin Panpan smiled and said:

"If we want to fight the Zhou family, at least our own family can't be too bad. It's okay, don't we have a donkey in our village?

Just in time to pull the donkey back."

Lin Dashan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pull the donkey back now. We have a mill at home. If that doesn't work, you can ask your brothers to grind it for you."

Lin Panpan nodded and said, "Okay!"

Lin Panpan slept very comfortably that night. She woke up early the next morning and her eldest and second sisters-in-law were already waiting for her in the kitchen.

Both of them were a little excited. The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were both very nice, but the eldest sister-in-law was used to being thrifty, and she couldn't stand it when she saw someone wasting food.

My second sister-in-law is rather introverted. She doesn’t talk much at home and just works every day.

Lin Panpan took out the soybeans she had selected yesterday. These soybeans had been soaked overnight. Lin Panpan first poured some soybeans into the small hole above the millstone, and then put the donkey on the horizontal bar of the millstone.

She patted the donkey's back gently, and the donkey slowly took steps, causing the millstone to start turning.

As the stone mill turns, the soybeans are crushed and ground bit by bit.

At the beginning, the ground soy milk and bean dregs mixed together and slowly flowed out from the gaps in the stone mill.

The eldest and second sisters-in-law added soybeans to the stone mill from time to time to ensure that the soy milk was fine and uniform.

The donkey walked slowly, the millstone turned round and round, and the soybeans continued to release a rich bean aroma under the grinding of the millstone.

After grinding the soy milk, Lin Panpan poured the soy milk mixed with bean dregs into a clean large cloth bag.

After tying the bag tightly, they placed the bag on a large wooden basin and squeezed it hard.

With their concerted efforts, the soy milk seeped out of the cloth bag and flowed into the wooden basin, while the bean dregs remained in the cloth bag.

The next step is to cook the soy milk. They pour the squeezed soy milk into a large pot. Lin Panpan always stays by the pot, stirring the soy milk gently with a spoon to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

As the temperature rises, the soy milk begins to churn and emits a rich soy aroma.

When the soy milk is cooked, it is time to add the sauce.

Lin Panpan slowly poured the brine prepared in advance into the soy milk, stirring gently as she poured.

The brine and soy milk react wonderfully, and the soy milk gradually solidifies into tofu pudding.

They scooped the tofu pudding into a wooden frame covered with gauze, wrapped the tofu pudding with gauze, and then pressed a wooden board on top.

Place stones and buckets filled with water on the wooden planks.

This will allow the moisture in the tofu pudding to be slowly squeezed out, making the tofu firmer.

After waiting for a while, the tofu finally took shape.

They carefully removed the gauze, and pieces of white and delicate tofu appeared before their eyes.

The eldest sister-in-law said with surprise: "You really made tofu!"

The second sister-in-law was also very excited. Lin Panpan said with a smile: "I was so excited today that I made more. Brother, do you think these tofu can be sold?"

Lin Weiguo came in and asked, "You made so much tofu?"

Lin Panpan nodded and said, "I made ten sheets of tofu. We're out of soybeans. If we can't sell them, we can give them to the villagers to eat!"

Lin Weiguo quickly said:

"How can it not sell? The tofu made by my sister must be popular.

I remember one of my classmates' dad works in the cafeteria, how about I go ask him?"

Lin Weihua also thought about it and said: "I have a classmate whose father works in the supply and marketing cooperative. I will go and ask..."

Lin Weimin thought for a long time, but he really didn't have any friends in this field, so he said helplessly: "Forget it, I'd better go to the market to see if I can sell it."

Lin Dashan nodded and said, "Then I'll try to think of a solution. If that doesn't work, I'll call the villagers over and we can all go to the village to sell it together."

In 1973, tofu cost 2 yuan per pound. Some people who couldn't eat two pieces of tofu would buy one piece.

Lin Panpan smiled and said:

"Then I'll leave the tofu sales to you guys!

I have to go to the medicine lady's place. I'll leave a piece of tofu for us to eat braised tofu tonight.

Oh, Dad, these are the food coupons and meat coupons. Go buy some food and meat. Here are the soap coupons. Please bring me some soap. Now, let's go."

Lin Panpan grabbed two pancakes and rushed out of the house. Su Xiulan followed behind her, saying, "Slow down, slow down, this girl is really..."

Lin Panpan really didn't have time to sell tofu, so she gave the pancakes to the medicine lady and started to recite.

The medicine lady listened beside her and gave her some advice from time to time. After an hour, she had recited it twice.

The medicine woman nodded and said, "Not bad, girl. How did you feel about going up the mountain yesterday?"

Lin Panpan nodded and said, "I think the mountains are quite interesting, and there are a lot of medicinal herbs."

Medicine Po smiled and said:

“I thought you didn’t like going up the mountain!

But that's fine. You should focus on finding these dozen or so herbs. They are used to suppress the toxins in your body."

Lin Panpan took more than 40 minutes to remember everything, and Lin Feng also came.

Grandma Yao smiled and said, "Lin Feng, you continue to take Panpan up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs..."

Lin Feng exclaimed, "Ah!" and said, "Let's go today!"

Granny Yao nodded and said, "Yes, you will listen to Panpan from now on."

Lin Feng had no choice but to take Lin Panpan up the mountain, saying as he walked: "Aunt, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday."

Lin Panpan looked at him and said, "What did you do to me that you feel sorry for? Why don't I remember it?"

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment and said:

"I shouldn't have said you were driven back yesterday. I didn't sleep well last night.

That Zhou Jun is really a piece of shit, Auntie, you better not go back."

"Hahahahaha... Lin Feng, I'm really uncomfortable with you doing this. It's not a big deal!" Lin Panpan really didn't take this little thing to heart. Anyway, as long as she doesn't need to take money, it's fine.

The Zhou family didn't want to use her to make money. The fact that she didn't make money for the Zhou family was enough to make the Zhou family uncomfortable for a long time.

The two continued to go into the mountains. This mountain has not been cultivated. Usually, the villagers only go up the mountain to chop firewood, so there are still many medicinal herbs in this mountain.

As soon as she got up the mountain, Lin Panpan stopped talking and started looking for medicinal herbs.

"This looks so familiar to me! Isn't this Polygonum multiflorum?" Lin Panpan felt familiar when she saw the vine.

Polygonum multiflorum is a perennial twining vine with longitudinal ridges and brown or dark purple color.

Lin Feng said in disbelief, "I've been on this mountain for so long and haven't seen any Polygonum multiflorum. How can you find it as soon as you get up there?"

Xiaopang also laughed and said, "Auntie, did you admit your mistake?"

Lin Panpan snorted coldly and said, "What I've seen in books is definitely the real Polygonum multiflorum. I know more medicinal herbs now than you do!"
