Chapter 38 Brother, have a taste of my tofu
Mingzhu's eyelashes trembled, and her heart began to beat wildly again at this moment!
She, she was trapped against the wall by Jiang Duo?
But isn't Jiang Duo an old antique? How could this happen?
This is really... killing her!
Jiang Duo smelled the sweetness that filled his nose, and his mind became clearer. Realizing that he had lost control again, he suddenly took a step back and said seriously: "Don't shout when you go out. It's not appropriate."
Mingzhu's breath, which she had just held, resumed its rhythm.
She tilted her head and smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't shout when you go out. At most... I will occasionally shout at home."
Jiang Duo was silent. It was not good to shout at home. He was afraid that he could not stand this tenderness. Just like just now, he inexplicably had an impulse that he shouldn't have.
He did not continue the topic, but told Mingzhu that he would bring Qiao Bin to help with the removal of adobe bricks in the evening, and then went to work.
As soon as Jiang Duo left, Mingzhu exhaled, raised her hand and patted her chest.
Just now, when she was facing the light and her eyes met with Jiang Duo's, she suddenly had the urge to kill him alive.
It seemed that she had been holding back for too long in her life for thirty years, and when she met a spirited young man, she could not control herself and was greedy.
This can't be done! It's just a slightly better living specimen, Doctor Ming, you have to stay calm!
When removing the adobe bricks in the evening, Mingzhu wanted to help, but Jiang Duo said that it was physical work and would not let her get involved, so she would be responsible for ensuring the logistics.
They chose a large open space at the west end of the house, and used local materials, such as pushing soil and chopping wheat straw, then mixing soil and wheat straw with water, softening wheat straw, and continuing to stir it into sticky mud.
Jiang Duo wet the wooden adobe mold borrowed from a fellow villager, placed it on the ground, filled it with the mixed mud, tamped it, smoothed the surface of the adobe with water, and lifted the mold. In this way, he made more than a hundred adobes one by one.
He and Qiao Bin stopped working until there was no more space around to dry the adobes.
Jiang Duo roughly calculated that it would take five or six hundred adobes to build a kitchen of moderate size, minus the doors and windows, so for the next four days, he and Qiao Bin came back to find an open space to make adobes after work.
Mingzhu was also busy. In addition to cooking for them and her aunt, she also had to check on her "small vegetable garden" from time to time, occasionally turning over the adobe bricks, and then packing the dried adobe bricks back into the yard.
After dinner that night, Mingzhu paved the floor early and waited for Jiang Duo to come back from taking a bath in the river.
As soon as Jiang Duo came in, he saw a smile on her face and her eyes looking at him, and he guessed that she had something to say.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm going to the city tomorrow."
Jiang Duo thought of the beans soaking on the kitchen stove and asked her, "Are you going to sell tofu?"
Mingzhu put her hands together and immediately flattered: "Captain Jiang is awesome, you know what I'm going to do as soon as I stick my butt out."
Jiang Duo: "Speak nicely!"
She was elegant at one moment and vulgar at another.
Mingzhu chuckled: "I originally wanted to make tofu in the morning, ride my bike to the town at noon, and then take a bus to the city to sell it, but I was afraid that my bike would be stolen if I left it in the town, so...you can ride your bike to take me to the town at noon tomorrow."
"Tofu can be sold in the town or the village."
Mingzhu shook her head. "Ming Dayou is making things difficult for me and assigning me a job I can't do. Isn't it just to make me idle and not earn any work points, so that they can watch me laugh? Well, I won't let them see it! If you want to make tofu a long-term business, you have to find a fixed market in the city. After all, the population in the city is large, they have extra money and are idle, and the scale is much larger than that of the village."
Mingzhu's words made sense. Jiang Duo didn't refute her, but asked her in a deep voice: "Is it okay for you to sell it alone?"
"Why, are you still afraid that your beautiful wife will be kidnapped? Don't worry! Your wife is very smart, no one can trick her into leaving. I can go by myself, and it won't delay your work."
Jiang Duo hesitated for a few seconds, and finally agreed, "Then try it once, and come back if it doesn't work. I'll go with you next time."
Mingzhu was very happy, she stretched out her hand and hugged Jiang Duo's arm, and said coquettishly, "Our Captain Jiang is very considerate, I'm so You are so lucky to marry a good man!"
Late at night, the two of them were alone in the same room, she was still holding his arm, the softness of her body pressed against his arm...
Jiang Duo turned his face to the side, his Adam's apple moved slightly, he held his breath, trying to get rid of the sweet breath that tempted him to have wild thoughts, his voice was a little hoarse: "It's time to go to bed!"
Mingzhu heard this voice and realized that she was too proud and suspected of fueling his fire.
She hurriedly let go of him, turned over and lay on the pillow, still a little excited in her heart.
Of course, this excitement was because she was about to do business, so she was inevitably too excited, so that she couldn't sleep until the second half of the night, and finally she unconsciously stuck to Jiang Duo's side, and slowly fell asleep with his even breathing.
The roosters didn't wake Mingzhu up the next day. Jiang Duo shook her several times before waking up the little woman who was half lying on him...
Mingzhu opened her eyes, raised her eyes dazedly, and met the man's gaze.
She turned over calmly, rolled back to her pillow, closed her eyes and muttered: "Oh, how come it's dawn so soon... I haven't slept enough."
"Then go back to sleep, and make tofu tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Mingzhu sat up and pouted: "No, it will be soaked. That's ten pounds of beans, we can't waste it!"
Looking at her coquettish and depressed look, Jiang Duo curled his lips.
He didn't say much, went out to heat up breakfast, left a portion for Mingzhu and her aunt, and went to work after he finished eating.
After breakfast, Mingzhu came to the stone mill outside the courtyard gate to grind soy milk, with the ratio of beans to water being one to six.
She shook the stone mill with great effort, thinking depressedly, it would be nice to have a wall-breaking machine.
After grinding the beans, she boiled the soy milk. After boiling the soy milk, she used salt and white vinegar in a ratio of one to two to make brine. She added the soy milk and pressed the tofu. It was almost ten o'clock when she finished the whole process.
Looking at the white and tender tofu in the bundle, she cut off a piece and tasted it -
wow... the tofu made with spiritual spring water is simply amazing!
At noon, Jiang Duo hurried back to see her off. As
soon as he entered the door, Mingzhu came to him with a plate as if offering a treasure, with her signature smile on her face: "Brother, come on, try my tofu, it's white and tender, soft and bouncy..."
Jiang Duo's throat choked. This title is not used correctly!
