Since it got colder, she never went out. She picked corn kernels and knitted sweaters at home every day, and spent the rest of her time cooking.
In addition, there is a pregnant woman at home, so in order to supplement the nutrition of the pregnant woman, she soaks soybeans and grinds soy milk from time to time.
When she first said she wanted to make soy milk, people didn't quite understand. But after drinking it, they found it tasted pretty good, so gradually more and more people started to like soy milk.
Song Tanglan also tried several soybean delicacies according to the videos he saw in his previous life, such as bean curd sheets, tofu pudding, and dried tofu. Bean curd sheets and dried tofu can be kept for a long time as long as they are well preserved.
Song Tangcheng and Cheng Fangyuan thought that as long as there was no waste, they would just follow her. However, as they looked at the gradually decreasing amount of soybeans and thought about the soybean paste they had not made yet, they could only set aside some of it and make the soybean paste first.
Otherwise, I would be dead if I were to be tortured by this little girl again.
Soybean paste is a recipe from Aunt Li's family, which she also passed on to her two daughters-in-law. Song Tangcheng thinks this soybean paste is delicious and can be added to noodles or stir-fried dishes, so she makes a lot of it every year and sends some to the city every year.
The Song family also liked to eat it. As Song Tangcheng became more and more skilled in making it, she added minced meat to the soybean paste and found that it tasted even better, so she created other ways to eat it for her.
I originally planned to make some soybean paste when distributing meat during the Chinese New Year, but now that I see that the soybeans are running out, I have to make it in advance in order to eat soybean paste next year.
Song Tanglan didn't care about it. Thinking about how she had been eating cabbage, radishes and potatoes recently, she lost her appetite whenever she saw these dishes.
If she hadn't made a lot of soybean products recently and improved her diet, she suspected that she would lose a lot of weight this winter.
She would get tired of eating bean curd sheets, dried tofu and tofu all the time, so she thought of soybeans, which are another way to eat them.
That is fresh and delicious, with tasty bean sprouts. Although she doesn't know how to make it, she has watched so many videos in her previous life, so she has some understanding of the steps.
And it’s super simple.
All you need to do is prepare a clean, oil-free basin and a rag. Since you are going to make bean sprouts, of course mung bean sprouts are indispensable, so Song Tanglan plans to grow some of both kinds of bean sprouts.
After two days, the beans began to sprout a little bit, but it was not yet time to harvest them because it was winter. Normally, the bean sprouts could be eaten in three days, but now they took five or six days.
Looking at the bean sprouts that were growing very nicely, Song Tangcheng and his wife, who had never seen them before, were very surprised. At first, when they heard the younger sister say that a fresh dish could be made from them, they were a little confused.
As the baby grew day by day, they never saw any green leaves and were ready to comfort the little sister. Unexpectedly, on the sixth day, they saw the little sister lift up the cloth and see the white and tender bean sprouts inside.
Only then did they realize that the bean sprouts were growing under the rag.
"Little sister, this is the first time I've seen beans sprouted and eaten. Who told you that? Did you read it in a book?"
Song Tanglan could now lie without blushing or beating her heart, and nodded very sincerely.
"Yes, I thought it had failed. I didn't expect it to work. This way, I can have another fresh vegetable in winter."
"Yeah, but how do we eat this?" Song Tangcheng asked helplessly as he looked at the bean sprouts that Chen Fangyuan had picked out.
"Just stir-fry it like you would vegetables. You can also add a little when stewing vermicelli noodles. I gave my second brother-in-law a lot of extra food. I'll send some to Aunt Li and the others later."
"Okay." Cheng Fangyuan has been running errands for the two of them recently, and it has become a habit. Whenever they develop new food, they will ask him to send some to his mother.
At first, his mother would scold him for making trouble, but gradually she got used to it and would come to visit from time to time and play with them.
"Then let's try frying it at noon." Song Tangcheng had no objection to her younger sister's approach. After all, it was her who figured it out, and it was her business who she wanted to give it to.
Besides, they always ate the food together at home and didn't share so much, not to mention that the one who sent it was her mother-in-law.
For lunch, they had simple sorghum rice with fried bean sprouts. Many families in the Red Star Brigade did not eat lunch during the slack season.
Song Tangcheng also tried it once, but before the afternoon that day, she was already so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore. From then on, she ate three meals a day. Anyway, she was not short of money at that time and didn't want to starve.
Since they got married, they no longer eat only two meals a day. Her husband's annual work points are enough to support the two of them. Even with the addition of Song Tanglan, they can afford to eat three meals a day. After all, they don't have a big appetite to begin with. The only one with a big appetite is Cheng Fangyuan.
Plus, now that she's pregnant again, their family has remained the same.
Therefore, Song Tanglan still doesn't know that people in the countryside only eat two meals during the slack season.
If she knew, she might not do this. After all, whether in her previous life or now, she has always eaten three meals a day. If she suddenly skips one meal, she might starve.
For lunch today, Song Tanglan ate a little more than usual. When Mrs. Sun and Su Tao came in the afternoon, Song Tanglan heard them talking about the deliciousness of bean sprouts, so he generously taught them the method, hoping that they could have a bite of fresh vegetables in the winter.
But after eating bean sprouts for a few days in a row, Song Tanglan got tired of them again and started to tinker with other delicious food, looking at the yam that had been left in the cellar untouched.
Since the beginning of hibernation, Cheng Fangyuan has not been to town, let alone the two sisters. As a result, after such a long time, she has not been able to eat the yam, corn and pork ribs soup that she has been craving for.
