g Jinshi had no choice but to repeat herself. The shopkeeper took paper and pen and wrote down the recipe.He handed the medicinal herbs to the clerk to grind and pack, while he himself scrutinized the...The next morning, Fang Jinshu brought back the soybeans she had purchased from Lisui Town and asked Zong Yu to help grind them all morning. She then cooked a big pot of fragrant soy milk.
And scooped out some to make a small bowl of tofu pudding.
To make the bean curd cake, she added lard and flour to the bean dregs. Keeping in mind that the men in her family loved meat, Fang Jinshu also added some minced pork and scallions to the filling. The resulting bean curd cakes were incredibly fragrant.
With a cup of thick soy milk, this day is just perfect.
Actually, a simple life in the mountains is quite good. Wake up with the sunrise and rest when the sun sets. As long as there's enough food and drink at home, and you occasionally make some simple delicacies.
Three meals a day, the whole family healthy and well, that's enough.
If only there wasn't a drought.
Fang Jinshi put down her bowl, feeling herself spiraling into overthinking again. Heaven's will is not something humans can decide, anyway, all she could do was ensure that her family and those around her would weather this drought safely.
When Zong Bai woke up, he smelled an unusual fragrance coming from his house. He hurriedly got dressed and went to the kitchen.
Seeing Fang Jinshu standing by the stove, smiling with great joy.
"I knew my sister-in-law would have something delicious as soon as she got home!"
"What did you have for breakfast today I seem to smell a hint of bean flavor."
Zong Bai saw the bean curd cakes on the table and couldn't wait to reach out and grab one.
When Zongyu walked in, he was caught off guard and slapped away his paw.
"Have you washed up"
Just as Fang Jinshu was about to tell Zong Bai to wash his hands, Zong Yu walked in.
Your sister-in-law said to pay attention to hygiene.
One word from her carries more weight than ten she could say.
Zong Bai usually listened to her, but when it came to these small matters, especially eating noodles, he just couldn't control his hands.
Fortunately, there's still someone at home who can help him.
"Understood, Big Brother." He swallowed nervously, reluctantly glanced at the mung bean pancake twice, then quickly went to wash up.
At breakfast, the whole family was watching the bean curd cake and swallowing their saliva.
"Wow, it's soy milk."
Yulian hasn't had soy milk in a long time, the last time she had it was several years ago. Her elder brother specially made a bamboo tube to bring some back from town.
It's just that the soy milk bought from the town has a strong beany smell and is a bit bitter to drink. It's not very good.
So after everyone sat down at the table, their eyes were all fixed on the bean curd cakes in the basin.
"Jinxiu, what is this for breakfast again today"
Fang Jinshi gave each person a pastry, introducing them one by one.
"It's made with the bean curd dregs from making soy milk, bean curd dregs cake."
Yu Lian, upon hearing that this cake was also made from beans, immediately frowned.
"Oh, made of beans."
Fang Jinshi, seeing this, asked in surprise, "What's wrong You don't like eating soybeans"
Soybeans are such a good thing, they're rich in nutrition.
If she could plant grains now, she would plant more soybeans.
"It's not that I don't like eating soybeans. My older brother once bought us some soy milk, but it tasted bitter and had a strong beany smell."
Fang Jinshui smiled, "That's how it is, well then, if you don't like to drink soy milk, that's fine. I'll just keep some in my space and drink it slowly myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone at the table hadn't started to eat yet. Only Zongyu picked up the soy milk and drank it all in one gulp, also grabbing two pieces of dou zha bing (soybean curd cake) with his chopsticks.
One bite of pancake, one sip of soy milk, it tastes so good.
Although Zongyu usually doesn't show many expressions on his face, those who know him well can still see some subtle changes.
He is not picky eater, but if he eats something especially delicious and to his taste, his eating speed will be much faster than usual.
Just like now, while the whole family was still in a daze, he finished two pancakes and a bowl of soy milk in three or two bites.
The empty bowl was held up to the wife's face after finishing the soup.
Fang Jinxiu laughed and asked, "More"
Zhongyu nodded.
Seeing this, Zong Bai immediately put aside all his concerns and started eating. Even though the mung beans smelled very strong, he still believed in his sister-in-law's cooking skills.
Besides, what's wrong with a little beany smell Back when our house was almost out of food, even raw beans were a blessing. When you're hungry, you eat whatever you can get.
Moreover, it's already cooked.
He had been craving that mung bean cake for a while.
Zong Bai learned from his older brother and picked up two pieces of pancake with his chopsticks. He took a bite and was almost intoxicated by the fragrance.
Another sip of soy milk, it's simply delicious.
This little girl, Yulian, is inexperienced and clueless. She actually said that soy milk doesn't taste good.
Mu smiled and raised her chopsticks, "Come on, eat up. Jinxiu has been busy since this morning, I'm watching you all, who dares to waste it."
Yu Lian seemed to have figured it out. Both her older brother and second brother were eating with such relish, it must be delicious.
Wouldn't your sister-in-law's soy milk taste different
She took a small sip, and was immediately amazed. Her sister-in-law's soy milk wasn't bitter at all, but had a hint of milky fragrance and was sweet and delicious!
Even the bean smell turned into a fragrant aroma.
"So good!"
Yu Lian looked at Fang Jinxiu with shining eyes, "Sister-in-law, you're simply my god."ht, how did my sister-in-law pick a fight""It was you guys who started this!"The old man, seeing that the younger generation dared to scold them right in their faces, grew angrier and coughed more vio...
