Chapter 31 Bean Sprouts
Xie Shuangbai really liked the noodles for dinner today. He touched his round belly and said:
"Daya, your cooking skills have improved so much that you can cook better than me!"
Xie Qiushi paused while picking up the side dish and said with a smile, "Brother taught me well."
She didn't say the other half. With so many ingredients, it's definitely delicious, but it's also really expensive.
"After dinner, take out the mung beans soaking in the kitchen. You'll also need a bamboo basket, a wooden bucket, and gauze. I'll teach you how to sprout them."
After the three of them finished their meal, they each took out their tools and soaked mung beans.
"You must study the method I teach you today carefully, but also be careful not to let others learn it by mistake."
Xie Chunmiao was the first to speak out: "Don't worry, big brother, we won't leak it even if you kill us."
Xie Shuangbai looked at the three people's nervous and serious expressions and said with a smile: "If you really encounter danger, just tell me. The recipe is not as important as you."
The three sisters were so moved that they called out "brother" in unison.
Xie Shuangbai saw that he was about to be sentimental again, and quickly said:
"Now I'm going to tell you how to grow bean sprouts, remember this."
He pointed at the mung beans that had been soaked in water: "When soaking, the water should cover the mung beans by half a finger. The soaking time depends on the weather. It's longer in winter and shorter in summer, usually 4-6 hours.
Put some gauze under this small bamboo basket and scoop out the soaked mung beans..."
Xie Shuangbai explained the steps of how to grow bean sprouts to the three people in detail and clearly.
At the end, he reminded: "The bean sprouts must be kept moist, but not waterlogged. They must not be exposed to light and the temperature must be warm. It is already a little cold now. If it gets colder, they need to be placed next to the kang in the house. Remember to rinse them in the morning and evening to check for spoilage."
He was actually not too worried about the bean sprouts rotting or not sprouting because he added spiritual spring water.
Xie Xiachan said happily: "Brother, this is much easier than growing vegetables."
Xie Qiushi also laughed and said, "That's true. I will definitely watch it carefully tonight."
"Don't be so nervous. Just make sure there's enough water and no sunlight. Remember to change the water in the morning and keep it moist. Don't expose it to sunlight when watering."
The three nodded and said, "Brother, just leave it to us."
"Okay, it's getting dark, you guys can go take a shower and go to bed. Bean sprouts usually take three days to sprout. As long as you follow my instructions, there won't be any problems. But don't open the lid and check it for no reason. The bean sprouts won't grow if they are exposed to the light."
After saying that, Xie Shuangbai glanced at Xie Chunmiao.
Xie Chunmiao felt a little guilty. How did her brother know that she wanted to see it?
After teaching his sisters how to grow bean sprouts, he went to sleep because he had to grind tofu the next day.
The nights in the village are dark and boring.
Xie Shuangbai had nothing else to do but enter the space to explore. He hadn't been in there for a long time.
It was inconvenient at Wang’s house before, but now he can check it carefully in the space.
The space was still the same as before, very empty, and the spiritual spring was still flowing.
He drank a small cup.
Try to go deeper into the spiritual spring.
There was nothing around him and he felt a little strange.
I walked in with my head held high, and saw a forest in the distance.
He walked cautiously into the depths of the forest. He didn't know if there were any ferocious beasts in the space, so it was always better to be cautious.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, I saw a strange house in front of me.
A two-story building made of wood and concrete.
Neither fish nor fowl.
He looked around carefully, walked over slowly and opened the door.
Xie Shuangbai was stunned.
His modern home!
He rushed in like crazy, and tears started streaming down his face as he looked at the familiar furnishings.
What on earth is going on?
But now he didn't bother to investigate further. He ran to the familiar kitchen and opened his three-door refrigerator.
It was filled with all his favorite small cakes, cherries, strawberries, pineapples, oranges, watermelons...
Vegetables include his favorite tomatoes, fresh bamboo shoots, baby cabbage, colored peppers, taro...
He excitedly took out cherries and pineapples, and ate a piece of pineapple cake.
There are also a lot of snail noodles, sweet potato noodles, various rice noodles, fragrant rice, and olive oil in the kitchen.
Xie Shuangbai's eyes lit up as he watched, and he really wanted to move them all back.
He tried it, and the result was...
He stood stupidly on the kang bed, holding a bag of fragrant rice.
He went in again to get the solar night light and took out his cashmere quilt.
By the light of the night lamp, I spread out the mattress, covered myself with a comfortable cashmere quilt and slept until dawn.
He was groggy in the morning and thought he had had a sweet dream.
Looking at the night light next to the pillow, I jumped out of bed excitedly.
Xie Shuangbai screamed like a groundhog in his heart excitedly.
If you think about it calmly, these things that are not in line with this era still need to be put away during the day.
It's okay to change the quilt cover, but the lamp is really not good. I'll go back later to see if there are any candles. I can get some.
This is truly the best gift God has given him. No matter what happens in the future, at least he won't starve to death.
We will continue treasure hunting tomorrow night. We have to get up and grind tofu today. It’s already daybreak, so we can’t dawdle any longer.
He remembered his agreement with Wang Shunyi and got up quickly. He also touched a mirror yesterday.
No more worrying about not washing your face clean.
He poured half a basin of spiritual spring water to wash his face.
Take out the facial oil and apply it on your face.
Seeing this face in the mirror again is still amazing.
When he saw the original body's face in the space yesterday, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
I wasn't ugly before, and was even lucky enough to be voted the school idol, but my appearance now is completely out of line. It's the kind of beauty that makes anyone who sees it feel ashamed of themselves.
He was happy to be a spectator of such a beauty, but to become such a beauty...
Oh well! Never mind, let's just make the best of it.
He put the things that needed to be put back into the space and went back to the main room.
Xie Chunmiao was setting the table when he saw Xie Shuangbai and called out, "Brother, it's time to eat!"
Before Xie Shuangbai even walked in, he could smell the fragrant rice porridge on the table. He sat down and took a sip of the porridge: "I'm going to Wang's house later. Do you want to come with me?"
"We're all going."
"Okay, let's eat together."
After dinner, the four of them locked the door and went to Wang's house.
Wang Shunfa had been waiting for Xie Shuangbai in the yard for a long time.
Seeing him coming, I hurried forward and said, "It's getting late, go grind the beans!"
Xie Shuangbai looked at Tianxin and said: Brother, it’s only 6 o’clock now, and it’s just dawn!
"Let me check the beans first."
After soaking overnight, the soybeans have absorbed enough water and will break into pieces when squeezed.
Xie Shuangbai looked at the fully soaked beans and said, "Okay, let's go grind the soy milk."
Wang Shunyi was very strong. He carried the soaked beans in his left hand and a bucket of water in his right hand and went to the big stone mill in the village.
Xie Shuangbai followed behind him carrying an empty bucket and a ladle.
There was no one at the stone mill at the moment, so Xie Shuangbai rinsed it thoroughly with clean water.
Wang Shunfa also came over with a bucket of clean water and helped without saying a word.
Wang Shunyi ground the mill, Xie Shuangbai added beans, and Wang Shunfa took an empty bucket to catch the beans. The soy milk flowed out from the cracks in the stone little by little, and soon there was half a bucket full.
A villager strolled by and saw them grinding beans. He asked, "What are they doing?"
Wang Shunyi glanced at the visitor and said, "Just grinding some beans."
Xie Shuangbai glanced at him. He was an old man in his fifties, dressed very simply.
But the look made him feel uncomfortable, and he didn't look at him again.
The old man stood there staring for a while, no one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he probably felt it was boring and left without saying goodbye.
