"So what else can you do? What else haven't I tried?"

"Well, I don't know either. Anyway, there's still plenty of time! Just look forward to it!"

After Xu Han finished speaking, she ignored Lu Chuan's questions and turned to pack her things to go to sleep.

The next day, when Xu Han woke up, Lu Chuan was no longer home; the prey was still with her! Where had he gone?

I went to the kitchen for breakfast first, but Lu Chuan was still nowhere to be seen after I finished eating.

Then he went to the backyard to check if the livestock had been fed, and found them eating! It seemed Lu Chuan had probably only been gone a short while.

Xu Han stopped looking for him. He's a grown man; how could he possibly get lost? He knows this mountain much better than she does.

So he went back to the front yard and decided to start making tofu.

The beans I soaked last night are ready now, they've been soaking overnight.

Use a slotted spoon to scoop them out, rinse them twice more, and remove any spoiled beans and impurities along the way.

After cleaning, I went to the backyard to bring out the corn, tied it up, and then started grinding soybeans to make soy milk.

The ground soy milk needs to be filtered to remove the soy pulp. The pulp can be kept and used to make soy pulp pancakes later.

After grinding five buckets of soy milk, Xu Han took out the rice and millet that had been soaked yesterday and mixed them with the remaining soybeans.

Don't throw away the soaking water; just add it to the soybeans to make soy milk. Anyway, it was already washed clean yesterday, so it's safe to eat.

Replace it with a new wooden bucket, mark it, and make sure it's not mixed up with the soy milk used for making tofu. This can't be used to make tofu.

Looking up, she saw Lu Chuan carrying a bucket of water and asked, "Where have you been? I was just looking for you."

"I went to collect the fish baskets I set yesterday. What's wrong?"

“I need a tofu basket to shape the tofu when I make it. Look, this is it.” Xu Han took out the tools she used to make tofu before from her spatial storage, but they were miniature versions.

"That's how it is. Can you make a large one like this? This one is too small, only enough for one meal, it's impossible to make."

"Okay, this is easy, I can finish it in a bit." Then Lu Chuan took the mini model to the tool room.

Xu Han continued grinding the soybeans, and after grinding them all, she began making tofu.

Boil a large pot of water, then pour it into the soy milk to thin it out. Add water while stirring to ensure the soy milk is heated evenly.

After making the soy milk, I took out the same tool I used to filter the sweet potato pulp last time and started filtering the pulp.

After squeezing out all the water from the soybean pulp, pour it into a clean bowl and set it aside to be used in a delicious meal later.

Then pour the filtered soy milk back into the pot and bring it to a boil. Stir the soy milk frequently while boiling to remove any foam on top, or simply skim it off.

The boiled soy milk was poured back into the bucket and allowed to cool slightly before Xu Han went to prepare the plaster.

The plaster is what I had left over from before, enough for about two more uses. After I run out of plaster, I'll buy some more at the county pharmacy next time I go there to keep some on hand.

Plaster cannot be used directly; it must be fired before it can be used, otherwise it cannot be broken into powder at all.

Xu Han took the plaster to the kitchen. There was still soy milk being cooked in the pot, which was specially made for drinking. There was a fire on the stove, so there was no need to start the fire again.

Grind the calcined gypsum into powder, take an appropriate amount of gypsum powder, add water to dissolve it, and then you can use it to make tofu.

At this point, a layer of oil film has formed on the surface of the soy milk. This is a good thing, which is dried bean curd sticks. They are delicious in stir-fries and stews, but there's just too little of them.

Pour the gypsum water into the soy milk while stirring, then let it sit for ten minutes. Check back later to see if it has set!

Xu Han couldn't rest during those ten minutes, as the soy milk wasn't ready yet!

After boiling the soy milk, pour it into a wooden bucket and store it in a storage space. You can then take it out and drink it whenever you want.

Xu Han hadn't had soy milk in a long time, so she ladled out a bowl of it, added a little sugar, and then ladled another bowl for Lu Chuan, calling him in to drink soy milk.

"Is it good? I added rice and millet to this soy milk, isn't it fragrant?" Xu Han asked.

"Mmm, delicious, very fragrant." Lu Chuan proved how delicious the soy milk was by finishing a whole bowl in one go.

By this time, the tofu was almost ready. Xu Han inserted a chopstick into the wooden bucket, and the chopstick stood upright. Xu Han knew that she had succeeded.

I picked out a bucket of tofu pudding and put it directly into my space. I can eat tofu pudding directly or make spicy tofu pudding soup. There are many ways to eat it!

But now, after each of them drank a bowl of soy milk, they can't eat anymore and will have to wait until noon to eat.

Xu Han went to prepare new fine cotton cloth, and Lu Chuan's tofu boxes were also ready. They could be used directly after rinsing with water.

Lay the cloth inside the box, then add the tofu pudding, spread it out, cover it with the lid, and then place the wooden bucket filled with water on top. After a while, the tofu will set.

After everything was done, the two went to the riverbank together. Lu Chuan started processing the wild buffalo, while Xu Han went home to make bean curd cakes.

Take out an appropriate amount of soybean pulp, add some eggs to it, and then add an appropriate amount of flour in several batches. Knead it into a dough, roll it out into a large, thin sheet, brush a layer of oil paste on the sheet, roll it up, cut it into equal-sized pieces, roll them into small pancakes, and fry them in a pan until cooked.

Xu Han made a lot of soybean pulp pancakes. The method for making soybean pulp pancakes is the same as for other pancakes. You can also add some chopped green onions or other ingredients according to your own preferences.

However, pancakes made from soybean pulp are crispier and have a different texture than those made from wheat flour.

After finishing everything, Xu Han made a spicy tofu pudding soup.

Soak the kelp in advance, cut it into strips and set aside. I also washed some gluten and added it in to make it taste even better.

Take a small dough ball, let it rest for a while, then add water and start kneading. Knead away the flour, and what's left is gluten.

She took out a few more sheets of bean curd sheets from her storage space. Xu Han really liked eating bean curd sheets, but she didn't know how to make them herself, so she ate only the ones from the refrigerator, and there were only a few of them.

Wash some peanuts and put them in a pot, add chicken broth and bring to a boil, then add appropriate seasonings, and pour in the freshly cut bean curd strips and kelp strips.

Next, break the washed gluten into small pieces and put them into the pot. After bringing it to a boil over high heat, pour the water used to wash the gluten into the pot, and the soup in the pot will instantly become thick.

After boiling, add some sesame oil, then scoop out some tofu pudding and place it at the bottom of the bowl. A fragrant and spicy tofu pudding soup is ready.
