Chapter 199 Grinding Tofu (for Subscription)
"Can the host still make tofu?"

"I asked Mr. Li why he bought so many soybeans yesterday, so he wanted to make tofu!"

"Do you make it yourself at home? This thing...is it a little troublesome?"

"That's right, can you do it well?"

"Making tofu is a technical job, anchor, are you sure you can do it?"

"Can you make tofu at home? That's great!"

"The son of the Li family is really versatile, he can even make tofu at home..."

"Whether it's good to do it or not, let's wait until it's done."

At this time, Li Yuan had already arrived in the kitchen.

Take out the soybeans that have been soaked overnight. At this time, the volume of those soybeans has increased a lot, and they have obviously been soaked.

"Before making tofu, soybeans must be fully soaked. If you want to make tofu, soybeans must be soaked for at least 9-15 hours."

"Look, these soybeans were soaked in water last night. They are plump without breaking the skin. Such beans are in the best state for use. What we have to do now is to pick out the dead beans from the soybeans. out, so as to ensure the taste of tofu after grinding.”

Li Yuan fished out the soybeans with a strainer and put them in an empty pot beside him.

Although Li Yuan bought relatively good soybeans, there were still a lot of unsoaked soybeans, the so-called dead beans.

After picking out the beans, Li Yuan temporarily put down the beans, and then left the camera just like that.

"What are you doing, anchor?"

"Aren't you going to make tofu? What are you going to do?"

"What's the situation, why did the anchor leave?"

"Why did the anchor go?"

"The eldest son of the Li family left us and left..."

Just when everyone was wondering what the anchor was doing, within 2 minutes, Li Yuan had returned to the anchor room again, and there was already an old-looking stone mill in his hands.

Studio.

"What is this?"

"Damn it, isn't this a millstone?"

"Where did the anchor get the millstone?"

"Mill? This thing is a mill? This is the first time I've seen what the real thing looks like."

"This millstone is too small, isn't it?"

"This is a bit different from the millstone I imagined!"

At this time, Li Yuan was holding the millstone and placed it on the table beside him. This millstone was just borrowed by Li Yuan from the house next door.

Li Yuan: "Since it is to make tofu, it is inevitable to have a tool for grinding beans. This is a stone mill I borrowed from the neighbor. This is a traditional stone mill with a long history. Today, I plan to use this stone mill to grind these The beans are ground out."

Studio.

"So, the host wants to grind beans on the spot?"

"This thing takes time and effort. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a grinder?"

"Yeah, anchor, isn't this thing a waste of time? Just use a grinder."

"The anchor is really an old fashioned person, and he even plans to grind the beans by himself, it's too outdated..."

Li Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Although the grinder saves time, the soy milk produced by the grinder is far from being comparable to the stone mill in terms of taste and fineness."

"Although it takes a lot longer to grind with a stone, the beans that are ground are quite delicate, and using a stone grinder can also grind out the mellow flavor of the beans to the greatest extent."

"Not to mention the difference between the beans after the stone mill and the grinder, there is always a need for some feelings in life."

"Just like now, in order to save time, many people can instant coffee, hot pot can be instant hot, and soup can be directly used in a pressure cooker. Although it is much more convenient, they always feel that they have lost the joy of eating him. Instead, they are pursuing speed."

"However, I think that one of the pleasures of eating originally is because of the waiting process, just like eating 'seasonal' vegetables and fruits that everyone respects nowadays. Although it is indeed much more convenient, the taste and nutrition are actually different. Far from being as rich as it used to be."

Studio.

"The anchor said it is true. Although it is the same food, I always feel that it has lost the original taste."

"Yeah, I always feel that the soup in the pressure cooker doesn't take a long time to stew and taste delicious..."

"The pace of life is too fast now, I want to spend a little time doing it, but how can I have so much time?"

"Yeah, I also know that instant noodles and instant hot pot are not good, but sometimes I don't even have time to cook a meal, let alone spend so much time."

"Hey, I suddenly envy the anchor."

"The ability to waste time is also a luxury."

"Actually, it's admirable to waste time on such things..."

"It's true, I'm so tired every day that I go home to sleep and play games. Even though I know this thing is not good, I choose to avoid it."

Li Yuan smiled, and while cleaning the stone mill he just took out, he said: "So everyone can try it out and spend more time doing such 'time-wasting' things instead of just thinking about quick success, maybe... this This process will make people feel more joyful.”

At this time, the stone mill in Li Yuan's hand had been cleaned, and the structure of the stone mill was also displayed in front of everyone.

The stone mill that Li Yuan brought back is obviously much smaller than the so-called donkey mill in the old days, but although the size has become smaller, its practicality is not lacking at all.

Two oblate stones are covered with oblique lines, and the off-white round stones appear in the camera, which is obviously very old.

According to the uncle next door, although this round stone is not a valuable stone, it has been handed down for hundreds of years, but it is left idle because it is basically not used now.

If Li Yuan hadn't asked who had such an old millstone a few days ago, they probably wouldn't have remembered the existence of this millstone.

Li Yuan looked at the stone mill and couldn't restrain his love.

"Look, everyone, this stone mill is composed of upper and lower round stones. Although these two round stones look inconspicuous, they are all carved by hand."

"Look, everyone, the upper hole on the grinding disc is designed to engage and fix the lower disc."

"The short vertical shaft in the middle of the lower fan is made of iron. It is a set with the round hole in the middle of the upper fan. The two stones are ground together, the lower fan is fixed, and the upper fan can rotate around the axis in reverse."

"In the process of movement, the contact surfaces of the two leaves will form a cavity. This is called a grinding chamber. And there are grinding teeth one after another on the outer periphery of the chamber, and there are still grinding eyes on the upper grinding."

"When grinding things, the grain flows into the grinding chamber through the grinding eye, is evenly distributed around by these staggered grinding marks, is ground into powder, and then flows to the grinding disc through the gap."
