Yang Liu buried her head and ran all the way home at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, not daring to stop for a moment.
Having heard her daughter say that peanut sprouts were a delicious dish, Li Qiuhe had picked up all the sprouts when she went to the fields to dig peanuts that morning. She was washing them in the yard when she saw her daughter rush in like a gust of wind. She quickly stood up and asked, "Who's chasing you? Why are you running so fast?"
Yang Liu threw the backpack behind her directly to the ground, then held on to the door, hunched over and gasping for breath. She didn't recover until her mother poured her a glass of water.
"No one was chasing me. I just seemed to see a wild boar in the mountains. I was scared and ran home quickly."
She didn't dare tell anyone about that kind of thing, and one of the people involved was her third uncle. If people knew about it, the Yang family would probably lose face for miles.
"You said peanut sprouts can be fried and eaten. I just picked up a lot of them from the field, washed them, and put them in the kitchen. I'm going to the vegetable garden to weed and water first." Li Qiuhe took a hoe and a bucket and prepared to go out.
"Mom, go ahead. I'll make you something delicious tonight."
After everyone left, Yang Liu prepared to start making the magical tofu.
She washed the leaves she picked with water and then put them in a sieve to dry.
He went outside and pulled a handful of straw, lit it in the house, sifted the burnt ash with a bamboo strip, added an appropriate amount of water, stirred it evenly, let it stand, and save it for later use.
She put the dried leaves in a wooden barrel, added appropriate amount of water, and stirred it continuously with a rolling pin until all the leaves were crushed and turned into green juice.
Then put a piece of cloth on the basin for filtering, pour the juice in the bucket into it, and squeeze the leaf crumbs wrapped in the cloth until no more green juice drips down.
Finally, pour the wood ash water that has been allowed to stand into the basin, stirring as you pour. After it stands for a few hours, the magical tofu is ready.
She plans to make two flavors, one sweet and one salty.
The last time she went to town and bought some brown sugar, she took some out to make brown sugar syrup, and then made a hot and sour garlic sauce.
In the evening, I steamed buns, fried some potato shreds, had a plate of peanut sprouts, and a plate of stir-fried pork belly with green peppers.
When Chu Yue came back, he saw no one in the yard, but he could see smoke rising from the roof. He knew that the person must be busy in the kitchen.
After putting the things in the room, he went to the kitchen and saw the busy figure.
"What delicious food did you make today? I can smell the fragrance outside." Chu Yue came over and stood behind her and said.
Seeing him like this, Yang Liu seemed to have the illusion that they were an old couple.
He was just about to reach out to lift the lid of the pot to take a look when she slapped him in the face and said sarcastically, "Don't you dislike my cooking? I heard that you often shared the food I brought to you with others."
Chu Yue touched his nose guiltily. This was indeed the stupid thing he had done before.
"Liu Liu, I was wrong before. I didn't see my own heart clearly. Please forgive me, okay? From now on, as long as it's made by you, I promise to eat it all and won't give it to anyone else."
There is no way. He can only make up for the sins he committed himself.
"No, you'd better eat less, otherwise I can't feed you." Yang Liu teased him when she saw his obedient and flattering look.
"Then I will raise you and I promise to make you plump and white." As he said that, he moved behind her, so close that she could even feel his hot chest.
Seeing this man being so frivolous in broad daylight, Yang Liu nudged him with her elbow and glared at him, "Clear the table and get ready for dinner."
"I've done a lot. Go next door and call Yang Bai over."
Yang Guoqing and Li Qiuhuo also came back from the fields. Just now, they heard on the road that their bastard third brother, who had gone off to some unknown place, had also returned.
When everyone arrived, Yang Liu first served each of them a bowl of brown sugar ice tofu. Although there was no refrigerator, she chilled it with well water for a while, so it was still quite cool.
The green tofu soaked in brown sugar water looks particularly appetizing.
It was the first time for them to eat this kind of thing and they had never seen it before.
Li Qiuhe asked, "Liu'er, what are you doing?"
Yang Liu raised her chin, a smug look on her face, and said with a smile, "Mom, tell me first if it tastes good or not?"
"It's delicious." Chu Yue instantly became her loyal lickspittle and quickly answered.
"I didn't ask you."
"Second sister, what did you make? It's icy, sour, and sweet. It's delicious." Yang Bai had never eaten anything so delicious before, and his little face was full of satisfaction.
Li Qiuhe took a bite and nodded with a smile: "It's delicious."
Seeing that everyone gave unanimous praise, Yang Liu felt particularly happy. It seemed that this time was quite successful.
"This is divine tofu, made from leaves."
"Leaves can be used to make tofu?" Yang Bai was full of surprise.
"Second sister, you are so amazing."
"Yes, if you want to become as good as me, you have to study hard." Yang Liu said, touching his head.
"Yeah, I know." The little guy nodded heavily.
Everyone said the sweet ones were delicious, and the savory ones were the same. They finished a whole bowl.
After dinner, Yang Guoqing looked at Yang Bai and asked, "When I came back just now, I heard someone say your father was back. Why didn't I see him?"
"I don't know, I didn't see him."
Yang Liu thought, of course you didn’t see him, he was busy meeting his lover.
Just as he finished speaking, a man with a scoundrel-like appearance walked in. He looked at the table and asked, "What delicious food are you eating? Why didn't you leave any for me?"
As he spoke, he wanted to lift the lid to take a look, but Yang Liu took it away and said, "Uncle San, you're late. We've all finished eating."
"Hey, girl, why are you in such a bad temper now? I tell you, if a girl has a bad temper, be careful that men may not want you." Yang Laosan said to his niece who was not interested in him.
"You'd better take care of yourself first!" After saying that, she took the bowl in to wash it.
Seeing that he was covered in grass debris and looked disheveled, Yang Guoqing felt sorry for him and said to him, "If you don't have anything to eat, ask your sister-in-law to get some for you."
"Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. It would be better if I had some wine." This guy is really shameless. He opened a dyeing room after being given a little color.
Yang Liu poked her head out of the kitchen, put her hands on her hips, and said bluntly, "Uncle San, do you want me to kill a pig and roast a lamb for you?"
"There is no meat, no wine, just a few leftover steamed buns. Eat them or not." As she said that, she took out the remaining steamed buns and threw them in front of him.
Eat early and leave early to avoid being an eyesore.
