general lady

This time, because of Su Wan's suggestion, I bought more beans.

After coming down from the school grounds, Su Wan came to the kitchen to see the beans she suggested to buy more.Just like what I saw in the grain store, it was shriveled, with a beany smell mixed with earthy smell, which was very heavy. Many people didn't like this smell, even if it was made into bean rice, bean cakes, etc., they couldn't eat it.

But sheep, horses, cows, etc. all like to eat.

"Actually, with some work, these can be eaten." Su Wan wiped the sweat off her face, took out some beans, picked them out and washed them.

Several private soldiers came in carrying two stones, Wang Zeng walked in the last, holding a smooth stick, pointed to the space next to the kitchen and said: "Put it here, put it here."

"Done?" Su Wan wiped her hands and stood up, looking at the stone carried by the private soldiers.

This is the stone that Su Wan spotted when she went hunting in the mountains last time. She felt that she would use it in the future, but she did not expect to find the opportunity so soon.Hard enough, but not too hard to carve.

What the private barracks lacked most was a lot of strength. Everyone took turns helping to polish the stones as smooth as possible. One of them cut a hole and engraved patterns on one side of the stone.

The two stones use iron-clad wooden sticks as their rotating shafts, and a small wooden stick is inlaid on the outside of the stone, and then a rope and a longer wooden stick are used. Using the principle of leverage, one person can push it.

Although the stone does not look so round, and the texture is a bit rough, it looks very ugly, but Su Wan is very satisfied.She just described the stone mill she had seen a few times before, and these people can do it unexpectedly. Although there is no groove on the outermost surface for the slurry, this does not affect the use.

The beans are peeled and soaked, and put together with water into the small hole at the top of the stone mill, and then the stone mill is pushed, and after a while, the slurry will flow out, and the slurry will be caught before it hits the ground.

This requires more than two people.

The people brought by Wang Zeng haven't left yet. Seeing Su Wan pushing the mill around, they all feel very strange and want to try it.One person tried to push it around, and after everyone finished trying, a lot of beans were ground.

"You all go down." I don't know when it appeared, and I don't know how long I stood by and watched, Song Tusu suddenly drove everyone away, and finished pushing his sleeves.

It is very heavy for Su Wan, and the heavy stone mill that must be pushed with all her strength is like playing in Song Tusu's hands. out of the slurry.

After grinding all the beans, Su Wan borrowed a large pot from the kitchen, used several layers of folded sackcloth to filter out the bean dregs, and started to boil the soy milk.

After boiling, the soy milk can be drunk, but it still has a weird bean taste, but it is much better than eating bean rice, bean cakes, etc.

She specially poured out a bowl, blew it, brought it out, and delivered it to Song Tusu who was standing outside. Su Wan said with a little joy, "How about trying it? Eating more beans can supplement...some things."

He drank it with his head up, smashed his mouth, Song Tusu said: "Not bad."

"Why do I feel that you are perfunctory to me?" Su Wan took the bowl and asked a little suspiciously.

Patting Su Wan on the shoulder, Song Tusu smiled, "No way." But she was really perfunctory.

Back in the kitchen, I need gypsum water for the boiled soy milk, because there is no marinade, so I can only use gypsum. It took Su Wan several days to make some purer ones.

You don’t need to wait long, when the slurry is still very hot, you can basically eat bean curds, and you don’t need to chew the tender ones. At this time, you can’t taste the bean flavor at all, only for these people who have never eaten or felt it. Taste.

Poured with oil fried with pepper, it feels good to eat a bowl of bean curd just like this.

As the first one to eat, Song Tusu sincerely said this time, "It's good. Those are bean dregs? Can I eat them too?"

"You can eat it, or you can give it to the horses." Su Wan served some for herself, "I didn't cook too much today. When everyone eats together, each of you can taste a little bit and see if you like it." like."

Beans are relatively cheaper than grain, probably because most of the beans are eaten by livestock, or only poorer people will choose to eat this, so beans have always been cheap.

If most people like it, some of the food in the future can be replaced with beans.

Soy milk, bean curd, tofu, and bean dregs can be made into pancakes as dry food, which can save a lot of money.

Apparently, Song Tusu also thought about this when Su Wan said the bean curd, she didn't say anything, just turned around and poured another bowl for herself, and ate it silently.

When the people from the private barracks took the bowls to eat, they saw there were white and tender looking strange eaters beside them.It looks like a lot, but each person only has one big mouthful.

Some curious people ate the tender food first, and couldn't help but want to eat it again, but the result was gone.

Compared with rough pancakes and porridge with floating shells, this kind of tender food is really delicious, even if it is actually tasteless, it is not that most people like it as Su Wan said. But everyone likes it.

I heard that the food called Dou Hua was made by the stone mill next to the kitchen. Many people came to see it during their breaks, and some even figured out how to push the stone mill by themselves, creaking and pushing it several times.

"It's quite successful." Su Wan said with satisfaction, "In the future, arrange a few people to help grind the mill, and make some beans every day. You can't eat too much at once, or you will get tired of eating. This is fine as an adjustment."

Because of the addition of a strange food, the entire private barracks was full of energy.

Lying on the bed to rest at night, Song Tusu turned sideways, looked at Su Wan beside him, and said, "We are only in the private barracks for now, don't spread the word."

"You mean tofu?" Su Wan thought for a while, then agreed, "Listen to you."

Turning over and lying down, putting most of the quilt on Su Wan, Song Tusu sighed: "Last time Baruch suffered a big loss, this time he will definitely not let it go, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle in winter. I plan to send you to Anjian Mansion, at least it is absolutely safe there, but now it seems that there is no need, you get along very well with the people in the private barracks, and they will protect you with all their heart."

Song Tusu was next to her, her voice was a bit rough and not very pleasant, but it made Su Wan feel very stable.

Opening her eyes and looking at the pitch-black tent, Su Wan said: "The wolves on the grassland will be more ferocious in winter, and their territory will become much larger, making it difficult to find. So I won't go to the grassland this winter. Anyway, it's okay to be idle. If you are idle, how about helping you?"

"Help yourself." Song Tusu said.

"Yeah, but it sounds better to help you? This time I didn't come up with a bad idea, and I didn't plan anything." Su Wan said to Song Tusu, but also said to herself, "Even if Baruch is not good enough to let go, I will let you go." If we can't prevent those methods, we can only intensify our training."

Accurately patted Su Wan across the quilt, Song Tusu said with a smile in his voice, "Your tone is like a little general again."

"I was originally..."

**

Originally, Su Wan thought that she would wait for Baruch's arrival in such a calm manner. During this time, many more soldiers were dispatched, and the sound of horses running fast could be heard in the barracks every day.

This has always been the case in previous years. In this battle in winter, Baruch took the initiative to attack and the border towns passively defended. When the winter cooled down, neither Baruch nor the border towns would act rashly again. If there is really nothing to eat, Baruch will definitely come again.

Thinking about these things every day, although Su Wan has never met Baruch, she hates him.

"Aww..." Ah Chou could already howl, although his voice was still immature, but he seldom howled.

This guy is terribly clever, even if Su Wan wasn't in the private barracks, he would wander around casually occasionally, but he wasn't caught.On the one hand, Su Wan is gradually getting along in the private barracks, and on the other hand, Ah Chou is smart enough to find someone who has seen him every time he goes out alone.

"What's going on?" Su Wan asked suspiciously after Ah Chou yelled a little longer this time.

Not long after, Wang Zeng came back from the outside and told Su Wan, "A slave in Ning Yixiu killed someone and ran away."
