When it comes to getting down to business, Sixth Grandma is still very reliable.
With her sharp eyes and steady hands, she slowly poured the brine into the soy milk, stirring it gently all the time. She didn't stop until she saw millet flower-like patterns appear on the soy milk. She slowly waited for the colloidal soy milk to solidify into lumps and become tofu pudding.
The right amount of marinade is controlled very well throughout the process.
Sixth Grandpa placed the tofu bed covered with gauze, and Sixth Grandma used a gourd ladle to scoop the tofu pudding from the pot into it, wrapped it with gauze, and then put a wooden board on it, and then put a big stone on the wooden board.
Sixth Grandma: "The last step is done. Just press it for another half a day and the tofu will be formed."
Grandma Liu found a basin and scooped out some of the remaining tofu pudding in the pot. "Tiantian, take it home and eat it with Chengye and the others."
"When the tofu is formed in the afternoon, I will send you a few pieces."
Jiang Tiantian served the tofu pudding, and Sixth Grandma saw them off, saying as they walked:
"There are so many ways to eat this tofu. You can fry it, stir-fry it, stew it, boil it, deep-fry it, everything is fine."
"It can also be processed again to make blood tofu, dried tofu, moldy tofu..."
"Even the leftover tofu dregs can be fermented into tofu paste. This paste can then go through the same smoking process as bacon and sausages, and it will become very fragrant. Villagers love to eat it with rice."
"When Sixth Grandma is done, I'll send some over to you."
Jiang Tiantian responded gratefully, "Then I would like to thank you in advance, Grandma Liu. Today I will go up the mountain to pick wild fruits and make jam. I will send some to you so that you can have a taste of my cooking skills."
…
When sending the two to the gate of the courtyard, Grandma Liu stopped Cha Jiuzhang and asked, "How long will Xiaoliu have to rest?"
"It will probably be around the end of October. After that, the quantity and quality of matsutake cannot be guaranteed, so they will probably not be delivered anymore."
"Okay, then I'll make an appointment with the girl's family to meet in November. When you meet Xiaoliu, tell him that he should get married now that he's old enough. I don't know why he's hiding all day long."
Cha Jiuzhang smiled and comforted Grandma Liu, "Okay, I will definitely pass on the message. As for whether he will go or not, I can't guarantee it."
Sixth Grandma patted Cha Jiuzhang's hand and said, "He has listened to you since he was young. Please help me persuade him. You have a family now. How long does he want to waste time?"
Cha Jiuzhang: "Xiaoliu is actually still young..."
The unfinished words were cut off under the glare of Sixth Grandma...
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Jiang Tiantian went home and drank a bowl of salty tofu pudding with everyone, then ate two steamed buns stuffed with matsutake mushroom and beef. Then she took some dry food, put on a large backpack, slung a bamboo basket over her shoulders, and hurried out again.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Jiuzhang, I'm leaving now. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."
The remaining few people looked at each other.
Zuo Mingyan smiled and shook her head, "This girl has no time to spare all day long."
Cha Jizu drank the fresh tofu pudding and commented with a smile, "I was worried that she wouldn't get used to the life here. I think she is now happy and doesn't want to leave."
Cha Chengye nibbled on the matsutake bun in his hand contentedly, "Be more lively. As a little girl, you should be happy every day."
Cha Jiuzhang: “…”
The premonition of falling out of favor is growing stronger!
Jiang Tiantian went from house to house, calling up several village wives who had made an appointment with her yesterday to go up the mountain together.
The group chatted and laughed, and then formed a team to go up the mountain.
Chajia Village is located on a plateau and a warm valley. The climate is suitable for the reproduction of plants and animals. Although there are no "sea delicacies", there are countless "mountain delicacies".
As for wild fruits, in this season, there are wild grapes, wild hawthorns, raspberries, wild blueberries, raspberries, ground raspberries, wild kiwis, August fried fruits, myrtles, jelly fruits, ground loquats, nightshades, jujubes, roxburghii, red heart fruits...
Some of them were what she had seen on her first day up the mountain, and some were things she had never seen or eaten before.
Most of the wives in the village are familiar with the distribution of wild fruits in the mountains.
Nowadays, there are fewer snacks, so families with children will always think about it and go up the mountain to pick some wild fruits every year to satisfy their children's cravings and have them as snacks.
Jiang Tiantian even found a patch of wild chestnut and walnut trees on the mountain, with the trees full of fruits.
The wives in the village said that it is not the time to pick the fruits yet and we have to wait another month until September or October when they will be at their best ripening season.
At that time, you don’t have to pick them yourself. The ripe fruits will fall down by themselves and you can just pick them up directly from the ground.
Jiang Tiantian followed them, walking, picking and eating along the way.
Pick whatever you come across.
After half a day, she had turned into a little cat, with her mouth, cheeks, and hands covered with juices of various colors.
The women looked at each other and burst into laughter.
A young woman whom Jiang Tiantian should call her "Sansao" pointed ahead and said, "Over this ridge, there is a stream. Let's go there and take a bath."
The mountains have spirits, the water has sounds, the gurgling sounds are like rhythm.
It is like plucking the strings of a musical instrument with bare hands, the sound is clear and mellow, and it is refreshing to hear.
A stream about one meter wide flows down from the mountains in a winding manner, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes wide, and sometimes narrow.
The sound of gurgling water, like a dream talk, like a whisper, brought with it the cool water vapor and the breeze blowing from the valley, instantly extinguished Jiang Tiantian's hot heart along the way.
The stream water was very clear. Jiang Tiantian washed her face and hands with the stream water. She couldn't help but scoop up a sip and put it into her mouth.
It tastes slightly cool, sweet and has a lingering aftertaste.
Several people decided to rest here for a while. The wives in the village took out their dry food and ate slowly while enjoying the cool air and drinking the stream water.
Jiang Tiantian had eaten some wild fruits along the way and her stomach was still full, so she took the opportunity to stroll around.
"Tiantian, don't go too far. It's easy to get lost in this mountain."
"Hey, okay, I'll just go a little further and be back soon."
The further Jiang Tiantian walked, the more surprised she was.
My heartbeat is getting faster and faster~
She discovered a whole hillside of wild ancient tea trees!!!
The trees are generally 4 to 5 meters tall and are at least 100 years old. Some large trees have a circumference of 2 to 3 meters and are over 10 meters tall. They are strong and have thick branches.
It has also formed a particularly rare ancient tea ecosystem - the wild tea tree community.
It is rare for a tea tree to survive for thousands of years, but a wild tea tree community may last for several thousand years.
The original ecological landscape is covered by clouds and mist all year round, with natural rain and dew. The quality of tea in this area must be very high.
"I'm rich! I'm rich!"
Jiang Tiantian was harassing Xiao Qi frantically in her mind.
"Xiao Qi, even if you don't do anything else, you can make a lot of money just by selling these ancient teas."
At this moment, Jiang Tiantian's eyes were filled with piles of banknotes flying in the sky. She was lying on the pile of banknotes, rolling over.
That feeling was even better than when she had negotiated a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Xiao Qi felt Jiang Tiantian's overheated brain CPU. According to their normal operations, the overload protection program would be activated immediately.
But Jiang Tiantian is a natural biological person...
Xiao Qi: I am a second-dimensional person, a favorite type of otaku, a virtual person with no emotions, and I really can’t understand your excitement.
Jiang Tiantian felt that the people in Chajia Village were too stupid.
Having mountains of gold and silver but not knowing how to cash them out.
However, it is understandable.
The village was too remote before, and transportation was a big problem. In addition, the local villagers had no channels for export, so it was very difficult to cash in.
“Hahahaha…” Jiang Tiantian laughed loudly towards the sky.
Things are different now. Jiang·Fortune Boy·Tiantian is now online. From now on, in Chajia Village, just wait for her to help everyone get rich together.
