After Liangzi returned home, he sent Ye Jingmo the information he had compiled about the deep mountains.

The information includes detailed descriptions of the routes into the deep mountains and the conditions along the way.

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li discussed it and decided it was worth the risk.

For them, hunting animals is not the main thing; the main thing is to understand the terrain deep in the mountains.

Perhaps one day they will be able to use it.

Ye Jingmo and Liang Zi agreed to go up the mountain in three days, and told him to rest at home for two days to make full preparations.

The reason we didn't go up the mountain in the last couple of days was twofold: firstly, we were worried about Liangzi's health, and secondly, most of their corn and soybeans were already ripe and ready to be harvested.

The morning sun shines brightly on the earth, its gentle warmth making one feel warm all over.

The corn in the field has turned a yellowish-green color, its heavy weight pulling at the stalks as if it might fall to the ground at any moment.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo got up early to prepare for today's harvest.

Put gloves on your hands, twist the ripe corn off the stalks, and throw it into the large basket next to you.

Meanwhile, the immature corn is desperately absorbing sunlight and nutrients from the ground, preparing for maturity.

After storing the two large baskets of corn in the space, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo began harvesting soybean pods.

This is much more laborious than harvesting corn.

The soybean pods are small.

You need to part the dense soybean foliage to find the pods hidden inside.

Jiang Li noticed that it took her a long time to twist the stems before she could get a single soybean pod off.

She simply took out a pair of scissors from her storage space and deftly cut off the soybean pods.

This way, the roots and stems of the crops are not damaged, and their time is saved.

After a busy morning, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo finally finished tidying up the crops on the entire plot of land.

They didn't touch the remaining unripe crops.

After harvesting, the outer husks of the corn can be peeled off when you want to eat it.

Soybeans need to have their outer pods removed before they can be stored.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo carried the basket of soybean pods into the house.

This immediately aroused the curiosity of Pudding and Jelly.

Pudding sniffed it, but found it didn't smell particularly delicious, so it picked up the ball and ran off to play elsewhere.

Jelly also showed no interest in the soybean pods, jumping onto the sofa, lying down, and closing its eyes, looking completely indifferent.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo sat on two small stools and broke open the soybean pods with their bare hands, revealing the round soybeans inside.

The two were like workers on an assembly line, constantly repeating the actions of breaking off soybean pods and emptying soybeans.

After Jiang Li peeled open the last soybean pod, she poured the soybeans inside into a basin.

"Well, I've finally finished picking all these soybean pods."

She stood up with a sense of relief, twisted her stiff waist, and felt sore all over.

After all, this work has been going on non-stop since this morning.

"Cuckoo."

Jiang Li's stomach rumbled with hunger.

She touched her shrunken belly shyly.

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Ye Jingmo leaned closer to Jiang Li and said without hesitation.

"Hmm... I want to eat tofu, and it just so happens that we have a good soybean harvest."

Jiang Li is now particularly eager to taste the soybeans they grew themselves.

Ye Jingmo reached out and pinched Jiang Li's high nose bridge, making her unable to breathe.

Jiang Li slapped his hand away unhappily and touched her nose affectionately. "Brother Mo, what are you doing?"

"I can make you tofu, but you definitely won't be able to have it for lunch today."

We can't eat until tonight at the earliest.

Jiang Li considered the complexity of making tofu and knew that Ye Jingmo was right.

Her little face immediately scrunched up. Since she couldn't eat what she wanted most, she could only think of something else to eat.

"Oh right, I still have some sweet potato noodles left over from what I made before. Let's use them to make a sauerkraut and pork noodle dish."

Jiang Li thought of the sweet potato noodles left in the refrigerator and decided to make a sauerkraut and pork noodle dish.

This dish can be stewed together, and the preparation doesn't require too much trouble.

Ye Jingmo took the wild boar meat out of the refrigerator and chopped it into small pieces with a large knife.

Jiang Li ran to the basement and used tongs to take a pickled cabbage out of the earthenware jar.

The pickled cabbage has a strong sour smell, and the leaves are soft and limp, making it look very delicious.

She squeezed out the juice from the sauerkraut and cut it into thin strips with a knife.

First, fry the pork bones in oil, then add enough water and bring to a boil.

Add the yellow-green pickled cabbage, and after the pork and pickled cabbage have cooked and absorbed the flavors, add the sweet potato noodles.

Sweet potato noodles will become transparent, slippery, and very chewy.

Sweet potato noodles soaked in broth are absolutely delicious.

Even Ye Jingmo couldn't stop eating; the two of them ate with great satisfaction.

After waking up from her lunch break, Jiang Li couldn't wait to process the soybeans.

The soybeans were soaked in water before eating.

She soaked them in warm water, which made the soybeans soften faster, almost like soaking them overnight.

Jiang Li scooped out the soybean skins floating in the water, then used her hands to pick out the soybeans and remove the skins stuck to them.

Ye Jingmo took out graphite from the basement and rinsed it with water.

Jiang Li used a spoon to scoop soybeans into the hole of the stone mill, and Ye Jingmo turned the handle.

While the graphite is rotating evenly, Jiang Li adds a spoonful of water.

The yellowish-white soy milk mixed with soy pulp flows through the opening of the stone mill into the basin below.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo would take turns switching positions and repeat the process.

Soon, they had a bowl of soy milk mixed with soybean pulp.

Jiang Li took out a filter cloth and filtered out the soybean pulp. She squeezed the filter cloth to make sure no soy milk flowed out, and then used a spoon to skim off the foam on top.

Ye Jingmo picked up the bowl of soy milk and poured it into a pot, then brought it to a boil over high heat.

Jiang Li stirred the soy milk with a spoon as she cooked it, watching the soy milk in the pot, while Ye Jingmo prepared the brine next to her.

After letting the scalding hot soy milk cool down for a while, Ye Jingmo poured the brine into the soy milk in small amounts several times.

The soy milk gradually became clear, and Ye Jingmo put the lid on the pot and let it sit for half an hour.

When Jiang Li opened the lid again, the original soy milk had turned into tofu pudding and water.

Ye Jingmo took a mold, lined it with a filter cloth, and poured the tofu pudding into it.

Jiang Li found a stone and placed it on the mold to help the tofu quickly drain out the water and turn it into tofu.

While waiting for the tofu to be made, Jiang Li ran up to the third floor.

The baby guinea pig has reached the age where it no longer needs to be cared for by Xiaobai.

Jiang Li plans to move them to a new home today.

Put some hay in the cage you prepared, and then install a water bottle and a food bowl.

Jiang Li picked up the baby guinea pigs, checked their genders, and then put them into the appropriate cages.
