Shengxia noticed Yang Yun's unusual behavior and nervously touched the large lump on his shoulder blade.
As soon as she placed her hand on it, something under her skin poked her, making her feel a little itchy, and Shengxia couldn't help but laugh out loud.
For some reason, she wasn't scared at all; she even thought the thing was a bit mischievous.
Seeing Yang Yun's puzzled look, Sheng Xia chuckled and said, "It's nothing, don't be afraid. Okay, let's make tofu."
Half a basket of soybeans is enough.
Making tofu is very simple: soak soybeans, then put them in a millstone, add water, and grind them into soy milk.
Boil the soy milk, skim off the foam, add brine to curdle the tofu, break it up and put it into a mold, then cover it and weigh it down with a large stone.
The three so-called hardships of life in modern times are: rowing a boat, blacksmithing, and grinding tofu; and getting up early and working late to grind tofu.
In the height of summer, he discovered that this was nothing in the beast world; it was a piece of cake for the incredibly strong beastmen.
Just by looking at Yang Yun, you can tell he's one of the weaker males in the beast world, right? He pushes the millstone with such ease, it's like he's just playing around.
Then look at Wolf King, filtering, boiling, and he's done it all in no time.
Animal hides were used for filtration; before hemp and cotton were available, animal hides were the best substitute for gauze.
Looking at Yang Yun and Lang Jun in the height of summer, I smiled gently.
The beastmen's unique physique is amazing; the males are all excellent at working!
Her eyes lit up as she enthusiastically gave instructions from the side: "Wolf King, we need to stop for a while. Wait for the skin on top to solidify, otherwise it will all be rotten when we pick it out."
"Wait a while until a layer of skin forms on top, then use chopsticks to pick it off."
Sometimes being too quick in your work isn't good either. As soon as Shengxia finished speaking, Wolf King picked out a rotten, misshapen bean curd skin with his chopsticks.
Startled, she quickly stopped them, saying that there were only so many beans, not enough to make many bean curd sheets.
Looking at Yang Yun again, Sheng Xia said weakly, "Add water while adding soybeans. If you don't add water, it will be too thick and the tofu won't be tender."
Sheep Cloud and Wolf King: They can't understand what their partner is saying, but they dare not ask.
The amount of brine was difficult to control, so Shengxia took matters into her own hands: "I'll do this."
Fortunately, the crystals filtered out during the sea salt purification process were collected in the summer, and they can be used to make tofu by adding water.
She added brine to the soy milk while stirring clockwise. After about 5 minutes, the soy milk completely solidified and became tofu pudding.
Wolf King and Sheep Cloud stared wide-eyed. Could there really be such a magical thing?
Why does adding salt water cause it to clump together?
In the height of summer, her eyes crinkled with a smug smile; it was time to eat tofu pudding!
She quickly prepared two bowls of sauce.
First, make the savory version. In the middle of summer, she took the large bowl that Yang Yun brought, put in a spoonful of coarse chili powder, a spoonful of fine chili powder, half a spoonful of Sichuan peppercorn powder, a small amount of salt, stirred it, and finally poured hot oil over it.
With a sizzling sound, the aroma of spicy and savory flavors wafted over.
Pour boiling water into a bowl, add acidic fruit juice, and stir well.
The aroma grew stronger, and Shengxia swallowed hard, saying, "I'm so hungry." Her eyes lit up as she stared at the tofu pudding.
Wait for me, I'm going to eat you right now!
"You go eat first, I'll cook." The wolf king looked at his partner's greedy expression, which was as cute as a cub.
"Can you?" Sheng Xia asked with a mischievous smile.
He smiled gently and tidied the stray hairs on her forehead: "You tell me, I'll do it."
He really wouldn't know how to do it...
Sheng Xia smiled brightly and waved her hand: "This is a bit difficult. You guys watch first, and I'll leave it to you next time."
Yang Yun's eyes sparkled as he nodded and stood obediently to the side. He loved cooking the most!
With limited ingredients, a sweet sauce is a simple option.
"Yang Yun, slice the ginger into thin slices, and Wolf King, go boil some water." Sheng Xia took the jam out of her spatial storage.
Once the water boils, put the ginger in and cook it. Add honey (instead of brown sugar) and simmer for a while. Then add the jam and stir clockwise.
A sweet aroma wafts out; in the height of summer, remove the ginger, and the sweet sauce is ready!
In the animal kingdom, sweetness is rare. Some males never get to taste honey in their entire lives, and even females rarely get to.
Next door, Anon smelled a strange aroma and couldn't even finish her meat. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she suddenly smelled a strong sweet scent.
She licked her lips; it smelled so sweet and fragrant!
She hadn't had honey in a long time.
Following the scent, Xingyin, with Xiangyu grinning sheepishly behind her, stopped in front of Shengxia's house.
At this very moment, in the middle of summer at home.
The beasts were completely absorbed by the delicious food. The two males noticed the commotion at the door but ignored it. Summer didn't even notice.
In the height of summer, they reached the stage of making tofu pudding. They put the tofu pudding into a mold and pressed it down. Tomorrow it will be tofu.
"We can eat now. We've made tofu pudding for breakfast today. We'll make tofu with the leftovers." Sheng Xia was beaming, her eyes and brows full of smiles.
Tofu pudding is even better with soy sauce!
Haha, now that we have soybeans, soy sauce can't be far behind, right?
"How do you eat it? Like noodles, with the sauce poured over it?" Yang Yun pursed her lips, revealing two dimples.
He was really curious!
“That’s right, there are two flavors, sweet and savory. Which one do you want?” Sheng Xia raised an eyebrow and looked at the two beasts holding white tofu pudding, waiting for her to pour the soup over them.
"Salty! You eat the sweet one!" the two beasts said in unison.
Give the sweet ones to the little females; they'll eat the salty ones.
Midsummer: ? ? Are you guys being polite?
"No, I like it salty. Hurry up, which one do you want?" she urged impatiently.
They're so slow and dawdling over their meal!
Wolf King and Sheep Cloud exchanged a smile and said in unison, "Let's both give it a try."
They all look delicious, and they want them all!
In the height of summer, I chuckled and poured a generous amount of savory sauce over three large bowls of tofu pudding, then sprinkled on some chopped green onions—perfect!
