After the soybeans were harvested, she made tofu from the soybeans, which surprised the village chief again.
The next day, the village chief found a dozen young men and harvested three mu of soybeans from the field. In just one day, they not only harvested all the soybeans from the field, but also dried them in the threshing yard.
The weather is clear and the scorching sun is burning the earth.
The thin sheets of soybeans spread out on the threshing ground dried up in just one day.
After bringing the soybeans home, Li Mengyue started picking and soaking them in preparation for making tofu.
"Yueyue, tell Mommy that I'll help you choose."
Li Mengyue didn't want to do it in the first place, but since her mother asked for help, she naturally didn't refuse.
I told my mother that all she had to do was pick out the bad beans and impurities, and then pour the good soybeans into the water.
Since the temperature is quite high now, Li Mengyue does not plan to soak the soybeans for six hours. After all, if the temperature is too high, bacteria will easily over-multiply, causing the soybeans to deteriorate and lose their flavor, making them unsuitable for making tofu.
The day before yesterday, Li Mengyue solved the soybean problem, and the next step is the stone mill.
"Mom, do you know anyone who has a millstone?"
"Yue girl, I have some at home. When it's ready, I'll ask Li Yan to move it over to you."
Li Yanniang was squatting on the ground, cleaning locusts. When she heard Li Mengyue asking about Li's stone mill, she immediately responded.
Her family has a small stone mill, which doesn't produce much electricity, so it's just right to give it to the Li family.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Li."
"Oh, why are you being so polite to Aunt Li?"
Li Yan's mother washed the locusts in her hands, called Li Yan back home from the mountain, and moved the millstone.
It took almost half an hour for Li Yan to come to the Li family carrying a small stone mill.
"Aunt Li, look where the millstone is."
Before Li Yan came, Li had already picked the soybeans and soaked them in water.
"Li Yan, put it on the right side of the yard."
Li Yan followed Li's request, put down the stone mill and walked out the door. He also wanted to plant trees on the mountain.
Planting trees for a day not only earns him fifteen yuan a day, but also provides him with two meals. With such a good job, he certainly has to work hard.
Next time the Li family is looking for someone to do work, they can think of me.
"Li Yan, wait a minute."
Li Mengyue heard Li Yan coming to deliver the millstone in the room, so she came out and called him.
"What's wrong, Mengyue."
"We'll bring baskets of fried locusts up the mountain and give them to everyone to eat."
"This, this is not good!"
"What's wrong with that? Just move on."
Li Mengyue noticed on the Dian Mountain that although her family provided two meals a day, they did not provide breakfast. Therefore, the people who planted trees on the Dian Mountain did not eat in the morning and waited for lunch with empty stomachs.
She set two meals a day, just two meals, which could not be easily changed. However, it was okay to ask Li Yan to bring some fried locusts to fill everyone's stomachs.
Li Yan didn't feel it when he delivered the millstone, but when Li Mengyue asked him to move the locusts, his stomach started to sing the empty city plan.
“Gurgle…Gurgle…”
Although he knew that fifteen cents was a lot of wages, he still subconsciously followed Li Mengyue's instructions and moved a basket of fried locusts.
Li Yan's mother was dumbfounded when she saw her silly son actually carried a basket of locusts.
"Yue girl, my sons and his friends get paid a lot every day. I won't feed them fried locusts anymore. You still need to keep the money to make money."
"Auntie Li, these fried locusts are nothing, don't take it to heart."
Seeing that Li Mengyue didn't care much, Li Yan's mother stopped trying to persuade her. After all, her son also needed to eat.
However, Li Mengyue's action made Li Yanniang admire her even more, and she secretly made up her mind.
From now on, no matter what Li Mengyue says or what she is asked to do, she will not say a word and will firmly protect Li Mengyue.
Li Mengyue didn’t know that she had gained a die-hard fan yet. She was thinking about what kind of delicious food she would make next after the tofu was ready.
