At the same time, Qin Qianluo's gaze fell upon the golden pile of soybeans, and she began to assign another task.
He personally selected several experienced and meticulous craftsmen and ordered them to carefully sort out a portion of the best quality soybeans from the mountain of soybeans.
Then, these carefully selected soybeans are soaked one by one in clear water, thus beginning the preparation for making soy sauce, a traditional and delicious condiment.
That year, the farm's wheat harvest was exceptionally good, with wheat piled up like small mountains in the warehouse.
The flour had already been milled during the previous off-season and was in ample supply.
Therefore, at this moment when everything is ready, there is no need to eagerly await the ripening of the new wheat; the long and anticipated process of soy sauce brewing can begin immediately.
However, the process of brewing soy sauce is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight; rather, it is like a long and arduous spiritual practice.
From the initial careful selection of ingredients, we ensure that every soybean is plump and of high quality.
The meticulous soaking process allows the soybeans to fully absorb water, preparing them for the subsequent fermentation process.
Then comes the complex and tedious fermentation stage, which requires strict control of temperature, humidity, and time.
And then comes the equally crucial sun-drying process, which allows the soy sauce to slowly develop its unique flavor in the sunlight and air.
Finally, in the precise seasoning stage, various seasonings are skillfully added based on experience and taste preferences to make the flavor richer and more mellow.
Then, through patient aging, the various flavors are fully integrated and sublimated.
All in all, this series of processes takes about a year to complete, resulting in high-quality soy sauce with a pure taste.
Qin Qianluo knew this, so she specially summoned several craftsmen in charge of the matter to her side.
I instructed them to record every step and every detail in detail.
Every detail, including daily weather conditions, changes in the soybeans' condition, the amount of seasonings used, and any special circumstances during the operation, must be meticulously recorded.
This information is intended for future reference and will also serve as valuable experience for future soy sauce brewing.
After arranging everything, Qin Qianluo breathed a sigh of relief and then put the matter aside for the time being.
Instead, they focused their energy on other pressing matters.
Qin Qianluo's gaze swept over the mountain of remaining soybeans. She moved among the piles of soybeans, stretching out her slender and nimble hands.
First, carefully select a portion of plump, shiny soybeans, already envisioning them becoming crispy and delicious fried soybeans.
These fried beans will not only become a high-quality energy snack for people to replenish their energy while working hard in the fields during the busy farming season, but also become a valuable source of energy in the future.
It allows everyone to maintain their energy to complete heavy farm work, and it can also be the best snack for children to enjoy while playing together in the leisurely afternoon.
After arranging the matters related to frying beans, Qin Qianluo did not rest for a moment.
She then methodically summoned a group of craftsmen and solemnly, yet with a hint of anticipation, gave them her instructions.
After carefully washing each of the remaining soybeans, carefully soak them in cool water.
These soaked soybeans, like sleeping spirits, are quietly awaiting a magnificent transformation.
They will embark on a wonderful journey the following day, transforming into a variety of delicious and nutritious soy products.
The upcoming soy products cover classic categories such as tofu and soy milk, which are already well-known and loved by the public.
Tofu, with its smooth and creamy texture, melts in your mouth, like a dancing sprite on your tongue.
Whether it's the refreshing taste of a cold salad or the simple preparation of scallions, ginger, garlic, and various seasonings, a quick mix makes it a perfect summer dish to beat the heat.
It still has the rich and mellow flavor of braised dishes, and when coated in hot oil and various sauces, it releases an enticing aroma that whets the appetite.
Or perhaps it's the rich aroma of soup being simmered, blending with ingredients like pork ribs and crucian carp to create a nutritious and delicious soup.
Each can bring out a different delicious flavor, satisfying people's various imaginations and needs for food.
Soy milk, with its rich and fragrant flavor, is like the first ray of sunshine in the morning—warm and full of vitality, and rich in protein and nutrients.
It is an indispensable regular on the breakfast table, a cup of steaming hot soy milk, paired with fried dough sticks, steamed buns and other breakfast items.
It helps people start their day with energy, enabling them to face new challenges and opportunities with enthusiasm.
