butcher's little man

Chapter 68

A busy day passed quickly, except for Li Amu who was still a little unhappy, the rest were fine.Soon, Li Amu also felt relieved, if the new year is not good, this year will be bad!Let's talk about it after the new year.

As the saying goes, 25 to grind tofu.Tian Xiaoman already soaked the beans yesterday.He made an agreement with Ah Yun that he would be the first one to grind his house this morning.

At dawn, Tian Xiaoman woke up Li Wenxuan and asked him to get up and carry beans.Li Wenxuan was a bit reluctant. In this cold weather, he could sleep warmly with his husband in his arms, and he didn't need to kill a pig. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep a little longer?

What's more, what's the difference between grinding the tofu early and grinding it later?

Tian Xiaoman doesn't think so, if he wants to have a good life next year, everything must have a good sign.

Li Wenxuan had no choice but to put on his clothes and get up, Tian Xiaoman also put on his clothes, "Oh, don't get up, we just go to the house alone."

"No! I made an agreement with Ah Yun, I have to grind first."

"Isn't it the same if I go? I'll just say you asked me to come."

"I still want to drink soy milk..." Tian Xiaoman finally revealed his target, he just wanted to drink soy milk and eat tofu curd.Ayun's husband usually grinds tofu by the county seat, and no one in the village does it either, as it's troublesome.

Li Wenxuan threw him a look like this, and then poured out the water warmed on the stove to wash Tian Xiaoman's face.

Tian Xiaoman chuckled, quickly put on his clothes, and jumped up.

After it was done, Li Wenxuan took two buckets, and each bucket contained half of the beans.

"Brother Ayun, I'm here!" Tian Xiaoman called out from afar when he saw that his tofu shop was brightly lit.

Walking into the tofu shop, I found that besides Ayun, his husband and two young men were also there, and there was also a big stupid donkey chewing something in its mouth.

"Xiaoman, you are here, give him the beans." Ayun pointed to his husband, and then motioned for Tian Xiaoman to sit with him and warm up by the fire.

The surname of the tofu maker is Fu, and his name is Fu Chunsheng.Li Wenxuan and he had studied together when they were young, but this person stopped studying after only one year.

Fu Chunsheng looked up at Li Wenxuan, smiled at him, then put the beans into the grinder one by one, and drove the big stupid donkey to start grinding.

White soy milk flowed out of the mill, and soon filled a bucket. The two men poured the soy milk in the bucket into the pot, lit the firewood and started cooking the soy milk.

After a while, the soy milk boiled, and Tian Xiaoman took out a big crock from the basket and asked someone to fill it up for him.He is not someone who only cares about his own food.

After filling it, he asked Ayun to pretend it if he wanted to eat it, and then greeted Li Wenxuan, and the two of them went back with the soy milk first, because making tofu was not so fast.

On the way back, they also met many villagers carrying beans to make tofu. Tian Xiaoman greeted them sweetly, and Li Wenxuan suddenly realized that Tian Xiaoman seemed to know more people than he did.

In fact, it's not his fault, he was not at home all those years, how could he recognize these newly married husbands?

After the soy milk was delivered home, Tian Xiaoman asked Li Wenxuan to call them, then went into the kitchen and quickly baked a few egg pancakes to eat with the soy milk.

After the cakes were baked, almost everyone got up.Tian Xiaoman spread out the bowls, first added an appropriate amount of sugar, and then filled the bowl with soybean milk from the crock.

Brother Le, who was rubbing his eyes and feeling unhappy at first, is now lying on the table, ready to drink soy milk and eat omelets.

After the family enjoyed their breakfast happily, they started their respective busy lives.

Tian Xiaoman and Li Wenxuan continued to look at the tofu, Li Amu prepared some things for the New Year in advance, Li Yiran spread red paper on the table, and prepared to write couplets and some blessings.

Father Li is a hunter, and he usually looks like a big and thick man, but in fact, he cut those window grilles and so on.

This year is the monkey, and next year it will be the rooster.Father Li cut off a big rooster that looked like it was cocky.Le Geer sat by the side with his chin in his hand and watched, wondering how a square piece of paper could become a big cock?

Father Li was very happy to see Le Geer watching seriously. His little grandson usually doesn't like to be with him, but today he is so cheering, so he cut Le Geer's zodiac sheep according to his zodiac sheep. a lamb.

Little did he know that this was what Le Geer had in mind and why he had been sitting here for so long.Brother Le got the lamb and ran out, he was going to show brother Lin.

When Tian Xiaoman and the others arrived at Ayun's house, their first bucket of tofu had already been prepared, and it was being placed over there to press water.Now the pot is boiling the second barrel.

After the soy milk is brine, it quickly turns into bean curd.Tian Xiaoman patted his full stomach regretfully, if he had known earlier, he would have stopped drinking soy milk.

A man who looked a bit like Ah Yun brought a board with barriers on all sides and a piece of white gauze in the middle.

He filled the beancurd into it, filled one piece, and then picked up another board to cook in the same way.The man stacked the boards on top of each other and pressed a large stone on top of them to push out the excess water inside.

Tian Xiaoman and the others are chatting here, and their tofu is ready after chatting.

Fu Chunsheng scratched it a few times with a sharp knife, and the tofu was neatly divided into several large pieces.Then he picked up the tofu into the bucket they brought, and filled two full buckets.

Tian Xiaoman counted twenty coins and handed them to A Yun. The villagers here all paid the same price, and a plate of tofu was charged a penny for handwork, which is not expensive at all.

Li Wenxuan picked up the beans, greeted Tian Xiaoman, and the two walked slowly on the way home.
