"It sounds like her voice to me." Old Mrs. Chen got up to open the door.

"It's Aunt He! Come in quickly, what's up?" Old Mrs. Chen opened the door, and sure enough, it was He Liu. She then invited her into the house.

"No, no, I just came to see Shanhe's wife. How is she?"

Grandma Chen was bewildered by the question: "Shanhe's wife is perfectly fine, what's wrong? Why are you asking this?"

Hearing this conversation, Su Yun'er got up and came out of the house.

"Aunt He, is there something you need?"

When He Liu saw Su Yun'er, he quickly looked her up and down and asked, "Are you alright?"

Grandma Chen and Su Yun'er were both puzzled: "Nothing's wrong, why do you ask that?"

"Oh, that's good, you gave me quite a scare." After getting a definite answer, He Liu waved her right hand in the air, and the tense expression on her face disappeared. "It's like this, the Wang family next door went to the market in town today. She heard that you were selling candied hawthorns in town, and she was thinking of buying some for her grandchildren to try. But she looked around and couldn't find you. I thought to myself, 'Shanhe's wife is busy from dawn till dusk every day, why didn't she go to town today? Is she sick?' So I rushed over to check on her."

"I've been so busy lately, I'm a bit exhausted, so I thought I'd just rest at home for a day today." Su Yun'er was surprised that He Liu cared so much about her, but she was also happy and touched. Who doesn't want to be cared for?

He Liu nodded repeatedly, saying, "You really need to rest well." She glanced at Su Yun'er to make sure she looked energetic and was alright, then said with a smile, "I'm relieved that you're alright. I'm off now. You guys rest well at home. Goodbye."

Su Yun'er and He Liu tried to persuade him to stay a few more times, but He Liu waved and left with his basket, so the two of them went back to their house.

"This He Liu is a very honest and kind-hearted person. He doesn't hold grudges and is very helpful. He's actually a good person." Old Mrs. Chen couldn't help but smile as she thought of He Liu's nervous appearance earlier.

"Indeed, and she's quite a good cook." Su Yun'er couldn't help but laugh, thinking of He Liu's appetite that day.

"Mom, what does 'dry rice' mean?" The little tree and little grass siblings were like a walking encyclopedia of questions.

"干饭" means to eat.

"Well, I'm also very good at cooking."

After saying that, Xiaoshu gestured with his arm to indicate that he was very strong.

"Little hero, did Grandma brew her medicine today?" Su Yun'er asked, suppressing a laugh.

Su Yun'er was busy with making a living, so Xiao Shu volunteered to take over the task of brewing medicine for Old Lady Chen.

"The medicine has already been soaked; we'll boil it soon," Xiaoshu grinned.

"Little Tree is such a good boy." Grandma Chen stroked her grandson's head with satisfaction, then rubbed it too. "Little Grass is good too. He prepares a hot towel for Grandma to warm her hands and brings her water to soak her feet."

While the family rests, the tofu should be almost ready.

For convenience, she took the pressed tofu directly into the main house.

After removing everything pressing down on the tofu, you can see that the tofu has already solidified.

It is white and tender, but its texture and appearance are different from those of tofu pudding.

Su Yun'er cut off a small piece with a knife, tasted it herself, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Really good, quite successful."

"Mom, I want to eat too."

"Mom, I want some too, give me a bite."

The two children were already craving it.

Su Yun'er cut a few small pieces and shared them with the three of them.

The tofu is still warm and soft in your hand, but it won't crumble into pieces. When you bite into it, it breaks apart as soon as it touches your teeth, and then the aroma of soybeans spreads in your mouth.

At this point, the tofu doesn't need any seasoning; it's already delicious.

"This is the first time I've ever eaten this in my life. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought it was made from soy milk?" Old Mrs. Chen said in disbelief.

"Then let's have a whole bean feast for lunch today!"

Su Yun'er cut fresh tofu into small cubes about the size of a fingernail, sprinkled it with chopped green onions, salt, and sesame oil, mixed it well, and the simple and delicious green onion tofu salad was ready.

In her previous life, Su Yun'er always bought boxed tofu from the supermarket. After the tofu was made, it was refrigerated, so it would be a little cold and hard. It needed to be blanched to restore its original softness and elasticity. However, now that she had just made the tofu herself, she didn't need to go through those steps.

Having had enough of brown rice, Su Yun'er was craving the taste of steamed buns, so she decided to steam some white flour buns for lunch.

In her previous life, Su Yun'er's mother was very good at making pasta dishes. Steamed buns, dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, and jujube flower buns were all her specialties.

Su Yun'er learned her pasta skills from her mother. The process of making dough is similar to that of making pancakes, except that steamed buns need to be fermented. In order to ensure that the fermentation bacteria can work properly, the water used when kneading the dough should not be too cold or too hot, but warm water should be used.

Su Yun'er took out an appropriate amount of the dough left over from making pasta, added it to the dough, kneaded it well, and then placed the covered bowl in a place with a suitable temperature to let it ferment.

Once the dough has risen, you can see fine honeycomb holes when you poke a hole in the surface. Knead the dough again, divide it into small portions, and then roll each portion into a ball before placing them in the steamer.

Grandma Chen was also very good at making noodles, and she made steamed buns with Su Yun'er. Looking at the plump, white dough balls, she felt an indescribable joy.

"It's been so many years since I've seen white flour steamed buns. Not to mention that it's a famine year now, even when the country was still intact, my family rarely had white flour to eat," said Grandma Chen as she kneaded the dough.

Steamed white flour buns, tofu with scallions, and cold shredded cabbage salad, a bowl of hot soy milk, and a bowl of sweet tofu pudding after the meal.

What Su Yun'er considered a particularly cheap and simple meal in her previous life was exceptionally precious in this ancient era that had experienced a famine.

After lunch, Su Yun'er went to the space as usual for her afternoon nap.

The space level was recently upgraded, but the level of the crops obtained did not change, so the harvest quantity of all crops decreased. Su Yun'er used points to upgrade the crop level, so that the harvest quantity can be increased in the future.

Before she knew it, all two thousand points had been spent. Looking at her points, which had returned to the hundreds, Su Yun'er couldn't help but sigh.

"Points are just like money; they're easy to earn and quick to spend."

Just as Su Yun'er was thinking, "I wonder how long it will take to accumulate points again?"

[Ding-dong]

The system emitted its familiar notification tone once again in my ear.
