Reborn Farmer's Businesswoman

Chapter 108 Grinding Tofu

While boiling the brine, Han Qing washed the soybeans and soaked them in water.

The soaking time of soybeans should not be too long or too short. It is better to gently pinch the skin of the beans with your fingers, otherwise the pulp will be lost and the output of tofu will be reduced.

The soup, which has been boiled for more than half an hour, finally came out of the pot. Han Qing brought a jar and sealed it in it for cooking tomorrow.

After finishing these tasks, the night is already deep.

Tomorrow she had to get up early to grind tofu, so she went to bed not long after returning to the house.

The person next to her felt distressed when she saw her busy feet not touching the ground, put down the lonely copy that Ye Changqing asked A Fei to send, and embraced her and fell asleep.

The next day, the autumn morning was slightly colder.

After waking up, Han Qing wrapped herself in a long gown, and the first thing she did was to see how the beans were soaking. Seeing that the effect was good, she hurriedly washed and prepared to grind the tofu.

Seeing that the two elders and sister-in-law got up, Han Qing said in succession, "Sister-in-law, don't be too busy this morning, I will eat tofu brain later."

Hearing this, the Lin family was not in a hurry to go to the field, and all gathered beside Han Qing to have a look.

Han Qing brought the brown horse, tied the reins to the stone mill, and let the horse pull the mill in the backyard, while she herself put beans in the middle of the mill from time to time.

Grind it into a fine paste according to the ratio of three catties of water per catty of soybeans, and grind until the soybean juice is smooth and delicate by pinching with your fingers.

After mastering the essentials, the aunts and sisters-in-law also came to try it one after another.

Taking advantage of this time, Han Qing and Lin Mu vacated a wooden barrel, which was originally used to hold grain, but now it was vacated to hold soybean juice.

There is no mold for making tofu at home, and Han Qing plans to find a carpenter to make it in another day, so she is looking for a few shallow square boxes for the job.

Immediately afterwards, everyone watched as Han Qing put the ground slurry on top of the gauze, and pressed out the original soybean juice with force.

As for the bean dregs on the top of the gauze, there was still a lot of protein left, so Han Qing didn't throw it away, and kept it for frying at night.

The squeezed soybean juice can be poured into the pot and boiled at this moment.

When the soy milk is boiled, there will be a layer of foam on top, and after the foam is skimmed off, layers of film will be formed.The thin layer of skin is sandwiched, and after drying, it becomes the yuba skin.

Han Qing quickly picked up the film layer by layer, set it aside, and dried it into bean curd skin in the future, making it a delicious dish.

Mrs. Liu is helping to light the fire. The fire should not be too fierce to prevent the soy milk from overflowing.

Seeing that Yunhai was about to go to the school, Han Qing hurriedly put the boiled soybean milk into a small pot, sprinkled some sugar on it, and asked Yunhai to take it to the school to drink, and by the way, give it to his master to try.

Ten catties of soybeans were soaked, and there was a lot of soy milk. Everyone in the Lin family drank a bowl to their heart's content.

"It's so fragrant!"

"It's the first time we drink this soy milk. Last time when Li's house was selling tofu, I saw this soy milk cost a penny a bowl."

"Third Aunt, drink well."

"Be careful of burning your mouth."

One sentence per person, talking and drinking is good.

Han Qing drank a sip of the fragrant and pure soy milk contentedly. The original and rich bean flavor is delicious even without sugar.

After offering Lin Youtian a bowl of soy milk, Han Qing hurried back to work in the backyard.

After the hot soy milk cools down a bit, the most important point is to start the stew.

She took the brine, put it into the soy milk according to a certain proportion, added it slowly, and kept stirring with a clean wooden stick.

Wait until all the soy milk in the pot has turned into tofu brain, and when the slurry water becomes clear, stop the fire.

Under the hot smoke, there is white and tender tofu nao, and the fragrance of the bean is overflowing, and the Lin family is very excited.

Han Qing didn't forget to give everyone a taste, each served a bowl of tofu nao, sprinkled with sugar, or scallion, salt, sauce and chili peppers, it was very warm and comfortable in the stomach.

One morning, but it made everyone beautiful.
