Yu Qingshu naturally knew their concerns, so he didn't care about anything. He continued:
"Everyone, just help us clear the wasteland. We'll still pay you twenty coins a day as we agreed, and we'll provide lunch. Since there are so many people, you can ask your family to help cook. We'll pay you five coins a lump sum. The person who cooks can also eat with us. Don't you think that's a problem?"
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. Their worries were finally settled. Cooking and earning money was really great.
After hearing this, Village Chief He Qiang smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.
Yu Qingshu divided the people into four groups: one group was responsible for picking up stones, one group was responsible for pulling weeds, one group was responsible for carrying stones to throw away, and the last group was responsible for loosening the soil.
This way the division of labor is clear and everyone's efficiency will be higher.
This morning, Yu Qinghai went to check the traps in the mountains and brought back five rabbits and three pheasants. The family has been spending a lot of money recently, so selling these prey directly to the restaurant can bring in extra income.
After cleaning up the house early in the morning, Yu Qinghai took Hua Manhong and Hua Hongtao to the town to set up a stall.
This time I brought braised pork, some vegetables, steamed buns and bone soup, and sold them the same as before.
Hua Qinglu took care of the household. There were many people eating at noon, so more than ten women from the village came to help cook.
Hua Qinglu had five large stoves built directly in the yard, and borrowed a few large pots from the village and placed them on top.
Such a simple cooking stove is completed just like that.
The firewood at home was prepared early in the morning, and they only needed to be responsible for cooking.
Yu Qingqing glanced inside the space and found that she had accidentally put something good that could relieve the heat in there.
She turned around and went back into the house and took out the things in the space.
Then she ran outside and looked at Hua Qinglu and shouted, "Mom, come in first. I have something to tell you, come here quickly."
When Hua Qinglu heard his daughter's voice suddenly become louder, he thought something had happened.
She quickly ran into the house, only to see a pile of grass in front of her.
Hua Qinglu asked curiously, "Qing'er, what is this? Is this why you called me in just now?"
Hua Qinglu pointed at the thing in front of him, feeling a little confused.
Yu Qingqing picked up a leaf, tore a hole in it, and placed it in front of Hua Qinglu's nose. Then she said with a mischievous smile: "Mom, smell it. Doesn't it smell cool and comfortable?"
The thing Yu Qingqing was holding was called "mint", which she had discovered by accident before.
Hua Qinglu showed a look of surprise on her face, and she said happily: "This is amazing, this leaf smells so good. It really smells very comfortable, this is amazing."
Hua Qinglu had never seen anything like this before, and even if he had seen her, he wouldn't recognize her.
Yu Qingqing pointed to a pile of mint leaves in front and said, "Aren't you going to bring water to Dad and the others later? Just put an appropriate amount of these leaves in the boiling water. The weather is not particularly hot now, so drinking this will help you cool down."
Yu Qingqing stuffed the mint leaves directly into Hua Qinglu's arms and briefly explained to her the effects of mint.
There is still a lot of this kind of mint in her space. It is probably thrown into the space before, and it just happened to come back to life inside.
Hua Qinglu naturally believed her daughter's words 100%. She took the mint leaves without hesitation and walked out.
Yu Qingqing couldn't help laughing when she saw her actions.
The people outside have already filled up the water tank and are preparing to boil more water.
Yu Qingqing took a lot of dishes and pretended to take them out from the kitchen.
At noon, I planned to make them some cabbage stewed with pork, some cold wild vegetables, some stir-fried chayote shreds, some bone and radish soup, and some more than two hundred corn buns and a few large pots of corn paste.
This kind of food is unique in the village.
In addition, Yu Qingqing asked someone to build a mill some time ago, and today he happened to be able to try it at home. If he succeeds in making tofu, he can have an extra income in the future.
Yu Qingqing has soaked fifty kilograms of soybeans for an entire night. This time she wants to try it herself to see if she can make it successfully.
In addition, she asked around and finally bought some plaster powder, so she could try it to see how it worked.
Hua Yuanyuan placed two large buckets of soaked soybeans next to the stone mill and asked curiously, "Qing'er, I've soaked the beans just as you told me to. Now let me know what to do next. Can this really be made into something delicious? I've never seen it before."
Hua Yuanyuan now gets along very well with Yu Qingqing's family, and Yu Qingshu doesn't mind living with his wife's family.
The stone mill is quite small, and looks like only a quarter of the size of a table.
Yu Qingqing took out a large spoon and placed an empty bucket under the millstone to catch the soybeans. Then she said seriously, "Auntie, use this spoon to scoop soybeans and water into the millstone one spoonful at a time, and then I will push the millstone here."
Yu Qingqing demonstrated and explained at the same time.
Yellow liquid soon flowed out of the stone mill, which made Hua Yuanyuan feel very curious.
Following Yu Qingqing's method, Hua Yuanyuan became more and more proficient.
About half an hour later, all the beans were ground, and a total of ten buckets of yellow soy milk were produced.
Yu Qingqing rubbed her sore waist and shoulders, then followed Hua Yuanyuan to carry the ground things to the kitchen.
The pot in the kitchen is still there, and the ones outside are borrowed from the village.
Yu Qingqing recalled how to make tofu and started tinkering with it.
Soon a pot of white and tender tofu appeared in front of everyone, and everyone looked at the contents of the pot with curiosity.
They were already surprised by the rich and fragrant soy milk they had just drunk. They never thought it could be made into something so smooth.
Yu Qingqing directly made a dipping sauce and let them taste it one by one.
"It's so delicious, both old and young people can eat it. It's really amazing."
"Yes, and this way of eating it is quite novel. You don't even need to fry it. You can just dip it in water and eat it directly."
"Looks like we can sell this again in the future. No one here has ever eaten it, so it's sure to sell well!"
Everyone was taking advantage of him and couldn't help but start praising him in various ways.
Yu Qingqing also tasted it, and it was indeed the long-lost taste, it was simply wonderful.
The tofu is white and tender, very smooth in the mouth and has an excellent taste.
"Qing'er, I suddenly remembered a big problem."
