    "Why can't I eat? I've been on the road all morning, and I'm already hungry." Lin Ranran smiled, and took out two sticks of glutinous rice cake wrapped in lotus leaves and handed them to Mrs. Hongxia and Xie Fei.

    Hongxia's sister-in-law complained: "Why are you spending money indiscriminately! I'm not hungry, let Xiaoqiu Xiaojing eat."

    Lin Ranran opened the lotus leaf directly, and stuffed the sticks of glutinous rice cake into her mouth: "We are here to spend money today, and you are talking about this again."

    Sister-in-law Hongxia chuckled, biting the sticks of glutinous rice cakes and squinting her eyes, she said, "It's delicious. Only those mountain women can make this taste. This bean flour is really fragrant!"

    Xie Fei also got one, and ate it in small bites, with a very delicate appearance: "My brother went to do the work that year, and he also brought me a kind of oil cake made by mountain people. It is really delicious."

    While speaking, the small mill became lively.  Two men in aprons came out carrying a small black-glazed vat and placed it next to the tofu.  The two men are middle-aged and old, and their bodies are strong from years of hard work.

    The old man wiped his face with the towel around his neck, and yelled, "New bean curd!"

    He just yelled, and sat on the edge to rest, drinking water with a gourd ladle, obviously the pot in front of him was bubbling with fragrant soybean milk, but he would rather drink raw water.

    Lin Ranran and the others hurried to the stall, only to see that the bean curd in the tank had just condensed and was hot and white, as if it would break if touched.  Lin Ranran took a deep breath, the aroma of this bean curd was really alluring.

    Sister-in-law Hongxia said hello to the old man: "Uncle Li, how is your health recently? Does your leg still hurt?"

    "It's okay, thanks to you." Then Li Da threw the water ladle and said, "Beat tofu?"

    Sister-in-law Hongxia smiled and said, "Let's have a bowl of bean curd first. Uncle Li, we didn't bring beans, can we pay for it?"

    Li Da stood up: "Three points for a bowl, five points for adding sugar."

    "Hey, it's done!" Sister-in-law Hongxia nodded.

    I saw a few rough pottery bowls on the long wooden table. Li Da used a large flat-bottomed iron spoon to scoop out a spoonful of bean curd into the vat, and put it into the rough pottery bowl with extremely gentle force.  The bean curd has not been broken at all, and it still exudes a little heat.

    Like Tianshui Village, Bashang Village also encountered a financial crisis where it could not distribute spring grain.  The head of their village team was quick-witted, and decided to open up their own source of income, reopen the team mill, and grind tofu in exchange for money.  This is the first time I've encountered it, and the price is cheap for the people in my own village first.

    Country people are real, this rough pottery bowl is not small, only three cents a bowl.  Lin Ranran remembered that in state-run restaurants in the city, a bowl of bean curd that was half the size was sold for five cents, and soy milk was three cents.  The soy milk in the big pot was gurgling and boiling, as white as milk.  Lin Ranran wanted a bowl too, and it only cost one cent and fifty cents.

    As soon as the bean curd was on the table, everyone couldn't wait to pick up the spoon.  Scooping up a spoonful of bean curd, I saw that it is white and fragrant without any impurities, like milk curdling, smooth and tender, put it in your mouth and sip it, the rich bean fragrance will melt in your mouth, even though it has already made it tasteless without adding any seasoning.  People have endless aftertaste.

    Lin Ranran took out a jar of honey from the basket, and added a spoonful of honey to everyone's bean curd.  The fragrance of the hundred flowers honey is fragrant but not too overwhelming.  The fresh and tender bean curd is mixed with sweet honey, and the delicacy has been raised to a higher level.  Not only Lin Ranran squinted her eyes intoxicated, but the others were also full of praise.

    Xie Feiqi said: "Miss Ranran, where did you get the honey? I saw that your basket was empty just now."

    Lin Ranran smiled and said, "I made it."

    Xie Fei was puzzled, Hongxia's sister-in-law smiled and said: "Of course it belongs to Monkey King, and it can conjure anything."

    Seeing that Xie Fei was still confused, Lin Ranran smiled and said, "I bought it at the market just now, and saw that no one bought the kid's honey, it's so pitiful."

    Sister-in-law Hongxia clicked her tongue and said, "This honey tastes really good, but it's a pity that the honeycomb is not easy to get. How much did you buy this honey? I'll get some back too."

    Lin Ranran did the math, "Five yuan."

    Sister-in-law Hongxia groaned, the price is too expensive.  Now the white sugar black market is only about 1.5 yuan per catty. Honey is not as sweet as white sugar, so forget it.

    Sister-in-law Hongxia said to Xie Fei: "The Cuban sugar we saw at the stall just now is still good, only seventy cents a catty, let's buy that."

    Cuban sugar is a kind of coarse granulated sugar imported from Cuba. It has fewer processes than refined granulated sugar. It has low purity, many impurities, and high water content. Its appearance and taste are similar to brown sugar, but the price is nearly half cheaper than white granulated sugar.  People who want to save money will choose to buy Cuban sugar, and popsicle factories often choose Cuban sugar instead of white sugar when making popsicles.

    Lin Ranran smiled and said loudly, "Uncle Li, have another bowl of bean curd."

    &n.

    Lin Ranran was engrossed in watching, suddenly Li Da opened his mouth and said: "Girl, who are you stealing?"

    "Huh?!" Lin Ranran was taken aback, and saw Li Da squinting at him.

    Lin Ranran rubbed her nose in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "No, I was fascinated by your skills at the moment."

    She just wanted to learn two tricks secretly, but Li Da was quite shrewd.  Lin Ranran hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, I want to ask if you sell these bean dregs?"

    "What?" Li didn't talk too much.

    Lin Ranran said cautiously: "I have eaten bean dregs cakes before, they are quite delicious, I want to buy some."

    Li Dao: "I don't eat tofu, you buy bean dregs?"

    Li Da's wrinkled eyes sharpened, and he looked at Lin Ranran.

    Not many people eat this bean dregs these days. Only the poorest people in the village can't afford tofu, so they come to exchange for bean dregs.  Lin Ranran's appearance is handsome and fair, and her clothes are also clean.  She ordered several bowls of bean curd just now, and even bought seven sticks of glutinous rice cake at the door. She looked like a lavish city girl, so why did she miss bean dregs?

    Li Er came over at this time and said: "Father, if the girl wants to buy it, she can sell it to her. No one wants this bean dregs anyway."

    "This is something from the village brigade. How can we sell it as soon as we say it? The brigade only let us sell tofu, but they didn't say that bean dregs can be sold!" Li Da is a serious person.

    Lin Ranran almost ran away.  Fortunately, Hongxia's sister-in-law said just now that this old man is ruthless and selfless, she didn't dare to bribe him with food stamps and snacks, or she would not be sent to the village committee by him right now?

    Li Er still wanted to intercede: "Father, you"

    Li Da coughed, "I'll go see if the beans are soaked." He lifted his feet and left.

    Li Er smiled apologetically at Lin Ranran, "Girl, I will ask our village cadres about the bean dregs later. If you want to change tofu or bean curd, I will change it for you now."

    Lin Ranran blinked, this Li Er was quite flexible, she tentatively said: "Okay, then you can give me some tofu."

    Li Er quickly picked up the iron sheet for scribing tofu: "How much do you want?"

    Lin Ranran pointed to the two compartments of tofu pressed against the stone: "Two boards."

    Li Er thought he heard it wrong: "What?"

    Lin Ranran laughed slowly, and repeated: "These two boards."

    The loudspeaker at the entrance of Bashang Village began to broadcast: "Comrades, comrades! Pay attention! The brigade tofu shop is starting to change tofu, remember to bring beans and pots and bowls! Remember to bring beans and pots and bowls! Today  There is enough tofu, don't squeeze and don't grab, there is enough tofu!"

    When the women in Bashang Village heard the sound, some continued to cook, while some anxiously dug out a few bowls of soybeans from their own rice bags and called their children: "Remember to ask for the tofu in the middle, the skin on both sides is old and not enough.  ! Hit the bowl carefully!"

    It's a pity that these impatient women can't eat hot tofu right now.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
