Chapter 73 The Birth of the Stone Mill



Half an hour later, Wu Chen came over with a wicker lunch box. "Let's go. It's not good for me to deliver it alone."

Wu Chen turned into a white snake, and Jiang Yanyue sat on Wu Chen's back, carrying a food box.

"Why don't you sit on the head?" Wu Chen was a little unhappy.

Having his female sit on his head is like wearing a crown, and no snake beast would not like that.

Jiang Yanyue touched Wuchen's snake scales and coaxed him, "That would be too ostentatious. I can lean on you while you sit on my back." After Jiang Yanyue said that, she leaned on Wuchen.

When they arrived at the witch doctor's place, Meiyi's temporary residence, Meiyi and her family seemed to be preparing to eat.

When Jiang Yanyue mentioned the fish soup, she politely declined, saying, "Fish soup is too fishy. Meiyi's appetite has been very poor since she got pregnant, so she can't drink it at all."

The animal world is straightforward. You can express your gratitude, but you can't compromise just because of gratitude. You won't accept something with a smile in front of others and then throw it away behind their backs.

"This fish soup doesn't taste fishy. It only has a little salt in it. You can give it to Meiyi to try. If she can't drink it, it's the same for you to drink it." Jiang Yanyue opened the lid of the food box. The milky white fish soup was steaming and the fragrance emanated from it.

Jiang Yanyue made fish soup and sent it to her because she saw that Meiyi was a little thin, with such a big belly and a pointed chin.

If Jiang Yanyue couldn't even eat the certified innate holy body for making soup, there was nothing she could do.

Mei Yi was also eating a bowl of meat soup, but judging from her expression, she didn't have a very good appetite either.

"Sister Yueyue, you're here!" Meiyi's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Yanyue, and she even wanted to stand up and greet her in person.

Mei Yi was extremely grateful to Jiang Yanyue. She had actually given up at that time, and she fought with Banxia only out of instinct because she couldn't bear to watch the newborn female cub being taken away and buried.

If Jiang Yanyue hadn't snatched the female cub away, there would be no chance of survival for the female cub.

Jiang Yanyue quickly stepped forward and stopped Meiyi's action, "I brought fish soup, you can try it and see if you can eat it."

"This fish soup is so white." Meiyi tasted the soup with a spoon and nodded, "Thank you, sister. The fish soup is delicious."

Although this fish soup doesn't taste like much, it smells delicious and doesn't have that indescribable fishy smell. Comparing the two, Mei Yi certainly prefers fish soup.

"That's good. If you like it, I'll send it to you tomorrow." Jiang Yanyue also breathed a sigh of relief. Her appetite improved, and her body would recover faster.

Before Jiang Yanyue left, she suddenly thought of something and simply told Meiyi about Aunt Fina, asking her not to let it slip.

Mei Yi had just experienced it, so of course she could empathize with Fina. Although Chief Carlo had just visited her house and told her about this matter not long ago, Mei Yi still solemnly stated that she would keep it a secret.

In the kitchen at home, after Wu Chen and Jiang Yanyue went out, Nan Xing automatically took over Wu Chen's unfinished work.

There was another fish in the pot, which belonged to Jiang Yanyue. Nanxing cut the white cubes called tofu into small pieces and put them into the pot together with the fresh red root leaves. Before serving, he tasted the soup, compared it with Jiang Yanyue's taste, and added some salt.

After it's done, serve it out and put it away when Jiang Yanyue comes back. Eat it next time. Tonight, there's also the pig's trotter soup that Jiang Yanyue has been craving for.

Chop the meat into pieces and stir-fry it with vermicelli, making the taste sour and spicy. This is the way Jiang Yanyue likes to eat it. Add a spicy fried conch, a candied tomato, and pig's trotter soup, and dinner is almost ready.

When Jiang Yanyue and Wu Chen came back together, the last dish of spicy fried conch had just been put into the pot, and it would not be long before they could start eating.

"Stop chopping, wash your hands and eat." Wu Chen shouted to Liu Xia who was obsessed with chopping bones when he passed by the yard.

There was a stone washbasin behind the kitchen, and a thin bamboo pole brought down the hot spring water from upstairs, specifically for Jiang Yanyue to wash her hands.

The family lined up at the counter to wash their hands, squeezed on hand sanitizer, and washed carefully using the seven-step hand washing method.

Jiang Yanyue took the animal skin from Wuchen and changed places with him. Wuchen also washed his hands carefully.

In fact, males who can find a partner cannot get dirty. If they give a bad first impression to females, then what's the point? They will be directly rejected.

Jiang Yanyue just motivates the males in the family and pays more attention to details.

After washing their hands, each person brought a dish to the table. Nanxing's spicy fried conch was also out of the pot, and the whole family started eating together.

The peach-colored tiger bear's trotters are much more delicious than pig's trotters. Not only are they less greasy, they also have a stronger gelatinous texture, and the meat is slightly tougher, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.

Dip it in coriander, green onions and chili peppers before eating, it is absolutely delicious.

Jiang Yanyue specifically asked Nanxing not to remove the bones completely, and she was enjoying chewing on it.

Not only the pig's trotters, but also the soybeans that have been stewed properly are powdery and have the special flavor of beans.

"I only used three pounds of the five pounds of soybeans. I'll grind the remaining two pounds into soy milk!" After eating the soybean and pig's trotter soup, Jiang Yanyue started to think about soy milk again.

"I can help you grind the soybeans into powder, but I don't know what to do if you want to grind them into paste." Wu Chen spread his hands.

"Stone mill!" Stone mill is easy to make, and Jiang Yanyue believes that with the males' skillful hands, they can definitely make it.

"Eat first, and I'll talk to you in detail after we finish eating." Jiang Yanyue immersed herself in fighting with Tihua again.

"Burp~" Jiang Yanyue patted her slightly bulging belly, and her goddess image was gone. Jiang Yanyue now has no body anxiety at all and eats whatever she wants.

In modern times, if I control my diet and exercise scientifically, I weigh 105 kg. In the animal world, I eat and drink as much as I want, sleep immediately after eating, and weigh 99 kg.

Jiang Yanyue now deeply understands the saying, "The body is the capital of revolution." If Jiang Yanyue's physical condition was not in good condition, she would probably be happy every day.

After dinner, Wuchen washed the dishes; after all, he had been blatantly avoiding chores for several days. Jiang Yanyue brought Nanxing and Liuxia to the doorway and, using the light from the Neptune Pearl under the eaves, drew a rough map in the snow.

"A stone mill is two stones stacked together with two symmetrical holes in the center to make them easier to put together."

"The top stone should be smaller, and a hole should be dug in it. The object to be ground can be put into the hole, and then a handle should be installed next to the top stone so that it can be turned easily."

"Oh, by the way, there's a groove on the side of the big rock below, and the ground soy milk flows out of the groove."

The stone mill is very distant to Jiang Yanyue who lives in the mid-21st century. Except in museums and some folk scenic spots, it is difficult to see it in actual production life.

Jiang Yanyue could only describe the general appearance and knew nothing about the details.

"It doesn't look difficult." Nanxing touched his chin.

Wu Chen nodded and said, "Let's try to find two stones every day and make it as soon as possible."

"I'll go soak the beans!" Jiang Yanyue was very enthusiastic. Soy milk and fried dough sticks are the staple food of Chinese people, and they haven't eaten them for almost two months.
