Chapter 378 Lime
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the soybeans and was happy to think that she could make tofu.
In Donghe Village, tofu is the most popular thing.
The main reason is that tofu is not expensive. Just a little bit can make a dish, and tofu is also nutritious.
It tastes good whether it is used in cooking or making soup.
Jiang Zhiluo hasn't eaten tofu or drunk soy milk for a long time.
You can take these soybeans back to the mill and grind them using a stone mill.
The tribe built a special mill with several stone mills to make it convenient for the tribesmen to grind flour or other things.
There is also a small farm in the tribe that raises donkeys, cows and pigs.
Pigs are easy to eat, cows can plow the fields, and donkeys are used to pull mills.
This is very convenient and can save labor.
After getting some soybeans, Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin went to find some lime.
"This is quicklime. Once it's roasted over charcoal, it can be used to make braising sauce for tofu."
Although he didn't know what lime brine was, Cui Hejin understood that only with it could soybeans be truly made into tofu.
After finding some things, the two of them went back.
After returning to the wooden house, the two men put shepherd's purse in the yard, and then took some soybeans and soaked them in a water tank.
"After soaking, you can grind it with a stone mill. The ground soybeans can be used to make soy milk, and you can add some brine to make tofu."
Jiang Zhiluo said this, looking forward to taking advantage of him.
She went to look at the konjac that had been left there last night.
"He Jin, look, these konjacs have solidified and become konjac tofu."
Jiang Zhiluo likes to tell Cui Hejin about whatever food she cooks and share her joy.
"What needs to be done next?"
"Bring the knife and cut it."
Cui Hejin went into the room, took out a knife, and cut the konjac from the basin as Jiang Zhiluo said.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the konjac tofu that was gently shaking in her hand and said, "It feels like jelly."
It is also similar to the magical tofu. When you hold it in your hand, it shakes back and forth like jelly.
Jiang Zhiluo put these pieces into the basin.
Then start cutting into strips or chunks.
Then prepare the other seasonings and side dishes.
"Let's make all konjac dishes like this: braised konjac noodles, stir-fried konjac noodles with meat, cold konjac salad, and spicy and sour konjac noodles."
Jiang Zhiluo cooked and Cui Hejin helped to light the fire.
Of course there are two pots, one of which is used to steam rice.
In the tribe, people mainly eat rice.
Mainly in the forest, people grow rice, and it is convenient to eat rice.
It does not need to be ground into wheat flour like wheat before it can be eaten.
After washing the rice, cook it directly in the pot.
Jiang Zhiluo thinks that such dishes should be eaten with rice.
It’s quicker when two people work together to cook.
But by the time the meal was ready, it was almost evening.
Jiang Zhiluo looked outside and said, "Fourth brother hasn't come back yet!"
Cui Hejin said, "Fourth brother took the soldiers to dig konjac today. There are so many konjacs that they might not come back until dark."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Then let's eat first. Put some vegetables and rice in the pot for Fourth Brother so he can eat it while it's hot when he comes back."
After a busy day, Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin had some simple dry food at noon.
Maybe because she had done too much work, Jiang Zhiluo felt hungry now.
"good!"
Cui Hejin was also afraid that Jiang Zhiluo would be hungry.
His daughter Zhiluo has the habit of eating three meals a day according to the schedule.
The two of them sat down to eat, eating konjac with rice.
“It tastes really good, refreshing and tasty yet crisp and fluffy.”
"The taste of this konjac is really different from other foods."
It goes well with rice.
