The cochineal rice in the field is growing well, but there is no need to observe the growth every day, and after seeing the large fields of soybeans planted outside the rice field, Wei Xi came up with an idea.After two days of idleness in Zhuangzi, Wei Xi took action.First, he drew a diagram of the structure of a stone mill, and asked Fugui to find a craftsman who knew how to carve stone.When the craftsman came to find it, there was a detailed stone mill structure drawing, and Wei Xi explained it on the side, and within three days, a small and simple stone mill was made.Fu Yuheng tried to turn the mill on it a few times, and looked at his little daughter with a smile, "Xi'er, what strange thing did you think of again?"
”Wei Xi was taking Xiao Qi and Mama Rong to pick beans, and replied casually: "Prepare to eat seeds." ”"Oh," Fu Yuheng glanced at the round beans picked out from the big basket on the ground, and then looked at the stone mill under his hand, "Could it be that this food is made of beans, and this stone mill is used to grind beans?"
”Wei Xi did not hesitate to praise, "Mother is so smart." ”Fu Yuheng smiled.The beans were finally picked in the evening and soaked in a pot, because it was summer, so they could be soaked lightly.Early the next morning, Wei Xi freshened up and didn't have time to drink water, so she went to the temporary vacant workshop next to her, fished out a bean from the basin and pinched it.Xiao Qi caught up with a glass of water and saw Wei Xi's movements, "Second Miss, are the beans soaked?"
”"Almost," Wei Xi drank the water from his cup, "and you can start grinding the beans after breakfast." ”Before leaving the breakfast table, Dong Xueqing called Wei Xi, who was about to leave, "I heard that Wei Er's sister is going to use soybeans to make a new food, Xueqing is curious, I don't know if I can watch?"
”Wei Xi's footsteps paused slightly, "You can come if you want." ”As she spoke, she took her mother's hand and walked out.Dong Xueqing's face froze, and she bit her lip and chased after her.Everything is in order in the workshop.Xiao Qi led his subordinates to follow Wei Xi's instructions, the stone mill was carefully cleaned three times, and the clean wooden barrel was placed next to the wall, half filled with water.The soaked beans were also filtered out of the water and placed next to the stone mill.The filter cloth has also been erected, and the brand new wooden shelves are neatly placed on the cabinets.In another part of the house, there is even a simple stove.Standing in the center of the room and looking around, it was a little crowded, but it was quite organized.It's just that Fu Yuheng and Dong Xueqing, who didn't know what Wei Xi was going to do, and all the subordinates looked at it with a blank face.Wei Xi had already walked to the stone mill, and Xiao Qi hurriedly stepped aside, watching his young lady's movements intently.Miss can say, she has to watch carefully, and later this stone mill will let her use the little girl who has been given a heavy responsibility to straighten her back, and her posture can't be more serious.Wei Xi scooped a spoonful of beans and poured them into the feed hole on the mill, added another spoonful of water, and began to shake the handle, and soon, the pulp outlet on the grinding disc below began to slowly drip milky white juice.After doing it several times, Wei Xi stopped and looked at Xiao Qi, "Just do this, have you learned?"
”Xiao Qi nodded hurriedly.Wei Xi took a step back and gave her the place, "Just shake it at this speed, so that the juice will be even, and if you are tired of shaking, you can rest." ”Xiao Qi was just when his hands were about to move, and he shook his head violently when he heard the words, "Xiao Qi won't be tired." ”Wei Xi smiled lightly.Xiao Qizi, who had learned martial arts, was much more powerful than Wei Xi, and after a while, the slurry juice was full of a bucket.Wei Xi instructed the two servants to bring the bucket to the filter cloth and start straining.After a few buckets of slurry are filtered, add water to the pot and start boiling.As soon as the fire was lit, the workshop immediately began to heat up, and the ice cubes placed in the corners of the room quickly turned into water, and Dong Xueqing was the first to retreat first.After a while, Fu Yuheng also took Wei Xi's hand and retreated, and at the same time instructed Mama Rong, "Take some more ice cubes and put them inside." ”When the people inside came out to report that the juice in the pot had been boiled three times, Wei Xi went in, looked at the milky white soy milk in the pot, and couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, "Take the bowl." ”After three bowls of soy milk and some honey, Wei Xi took a sip directly from the bowl, and his eyebrows and eyes suddenly stretched.Fu Yuheng also followed his daughter and tried to take a sip, looking stunned, and then drank a bowl in a few sips, "Another bowl." ”Dong Xueqing watched Wei Xi and Fu Yuheng drink it, and then took a sip of the spoon, and there was a touch of surprise in his eyes.The entrance is smooth, the bean aroma is rich, and there is a hint of sweetness, which is unexpectedly delicious.Wei Xi deliberately scooped out a bucket of soybean milk and instructed Mama Rong to hang it into the well, "Now that the weather is hot, it is suitable for drinking ice soy milk, now work hard for everyone, and when you are done, come and drink a bowl." ”Everyone was stunned at first, and then they were happy, and they all shouted in unison: "Thank you, Second Miss." ”Just by looking at the looks of the lady and the two young ladies, you can know that this soy milk must be very delicious, but I didn't expect that even they had a share, and everyone was more active for a while.When the temperature of the soy milk in the pot cooled, Wei Xi got up and took out the homemade salt brine jar from the cabinet on the side, walked to the edge of the pot, scooped the brine with a spoon and slowly dripped it in drop by drop, stirring it occasionally.Fu Yuheng didn't have time to stop it, and when he wanted to stop it, he saw Wei Xi's serious face, so he had to quietly walk over to protect the person in case his little daughter was accidentally burned.Glancing inadvertently into the pot, I saw that white flowers bloomed one by one in the pot at some point, "This, what's going on?"
”After looking at it for a while, her eyes fell on the slowly dripping water in the spoon in Wei Xi's hand, thoughtfully.When Wei Xi withdrew her hand and left the edge of the pot, Fu Yuheng pointed to the brine jar in her hand, "Xi'er, what is this?"
Is this the kind of thing that makes that soy milk change?
”"Well, it's brine."
Wei Xi nodded, "This thing can separate the soy milk and water in the pot, and at the same time let the soy milk solidify into a lump." ”"So amazing?"
Fu Yuheng raised his eyebrows, looking at the jar with curiosity, "What is this made of?"
”"Salt.The salt is placed in a damp place to melt the dripping water. ”Wei Xi raised his eyes as he spoke, and saw a pair of curious eyes around him, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly reminded, "But this thing can't be eaten, it's poisonous." ”As soon as they heard that it was poisonous, most of everyone's curiosity suddenly disappeared.But the most nervous is Fu Yuheng.Mrs.
Wei, who has always been good-natured to Wei Xi, rarely had a cold face, "You still have the poison, put it back." ”Wei Xi: "I knew it would be like this.When she put the jar back away, Dong Xueqing frowned at her and said, "Second Sister Wei, since this brine is poisonous, then drip them in this soy milk" Wei Xi glanced at her: "Although the salt brine is poisonous, a trace amount is fine."
Rest assured, you can't eat the dead. ”Dong Xueqing was speechless.Wei Xi didn't care about her, he was busy with himself.After all, compared to tofu, a delicious and healthy food, the toxins of salt and brine are simply negligible.At least, she didn't know anyone would be poisoned for eating tofu.Seeing that the soybean milk in the pot had all condensed into bean curd, Wei Xi hurriedly instructed someone to take the mold of pressing the tofu, spread gauze, take out the bean curd and put it on the mold, cover it with gauze, press the board, press the stone on the board, and put it in a cool place.After all this was done, Fu Yuheng took the time to ask, "What are you going to do here?"
”"Make tofu, wait for half an hour, and you can see it.Let's eat this at noon. ”"Okay, that mother waits."
During the waiting for half an hour, everyone took the soybean milk that was hanging in the well and frozen, and each person in the house shared a large bowl.Everyone drank to their heart's content, even if there was no honey, it was a rare delicacy, and it was still novel.After drinking the iced soy milk, everyone washed their hands and started a new round of busyness.But compared to the confusion of not knowing what to do at the beginning, it can be said that it is full of energy.The soy milk alone is already delicious, I really don't know how delicious it will be next?
