Prehistoric Widows Survival [Farming]

Chapter 20 Cooking Beans Is Not Easy

With real organic fertilizer, Lu Er's soybean cultivation plan is progressing rapidly.

After actually fertilizing and the weather is getting warmer now, Lu Er finally optimized the variety of soybeans a lot. The pods are full and the beans are round, which is fully worth promoting and planting.

After harvesting the first batch of finished products, Lu Er returned to his tent with a bunch of bean pods, peeled the soybeans, and got a small handful of fresh beans, which he cooked in the only stone pot in the tent.

After the fresh soybeans are cooked, the tender yellow outer skin is slightly cracked, revealing the slightly white bean grains inside, exuding a fine bean fragrance.

When Lu Wei boiled the beans, he added salt, collected scallions, ginger, star anise and other seasonings. The freshly boiled soybeans are fragrant and delicious, and they are soft and delicious when bitten. The aroma of soybeans blends with the tender taste, full The sense of satisfaction filled between the teeth and tongue.

After such a long time, Lu You finally tasted a little familiar taste, and he quickly ate up a small handful of boiled soybeans.

He gently picked up a boiled soybean with the simple chopsticks he made by himself, and after blowing it cool, he handed it to Xiao Mi who squatted aside and looked at him curiously: "Xiao Mi, try it."

Xiao Mi secretly drank the spiritual water last night, and she is not hungry now. She glanced at the soybean with some disgust, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: Why does this sub-beast always like to eat plants? Is it because there are too few prey? ?It still has to change back to...

Although she thought so in her heart, the sub-beast handed the food to her mouth, so Xiao Mi opened her mouth obediently and bit the unseen seed.

After chewing, the beans with a light salty aroma instantly conquered Xiaomi's mouth.

Seeing Xiao Mi's eyes widen suddenly, Lu You thought that Xiao Mi didn't like to eat, so she gently stroked her little furry head, and said with a smile, "Isn't it delicious? Dad likes it very much."

Xiao Mi swallowed the beans in her mouth, leaned closer to the stone pot, sniffed it lightly, and let out a sound of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

The cats that Lu You raised in his previous life didn’t like soy products very much. It’s rare to see Xiaomi being interested in beans. Lu You gave him another bean. Seeing how he still wanted it after eating it, he quickly refused: " Kittens can't eat too much soybeans."

Xiao Mi is tired of hearing that this sub-beast restrains it with these rules that come from nowhere.But now it also has a way to deal with Lu Er.

Just give up a little bit of dignity...

Xiao Mi moved closer to Lu You, stretched her voice, and made a soft "meow" sound. She rubbed her furry head on Lu You's bare calf, and then pressed her soft body against her, long The long tail was swinging from side to side, and the blue waves in the pupils were rippling, looking at Lu You pitifully.

——Who can resist such a coquettish kitten?

Lu You couldn't stand it.

Under this kind of offensive, let alone a few small boiled soybeans, even boiled diamonds, he would wear them all on his cutie's head.

Xiao Mi chewed the delicious beans contentedly, and wagged her tail: Sure enough, as long as he does a little tricks, this sub-beast knows how to respect his orcs!

……

The cultivation of beans was successful, Lu Er went to collect some more, happily went to Baixu, and asked him to plant them too.

Bai Xu had already trusted Lu You very much. He looked at the small handful of beans in his hand for a long time, and was a little puzzled: "What is this?"

Lu You smiled and said: "You can eat it."

—Could it be some kind of berry?

Baixu remembered the improved version of white root vegetables that had become a regular food in most orc homes in the tribe, and nodded: "I'll plant it now."

Soybean itself is rich in high protein and has high edible value. It can also be made into a variety of soy products. If soybeans are planted properly, they will consume little land fertility and even increase the nitrogen content of the soil to a certain extent. .

Therefore, although soybeans are not a special staple food, Lu Er still hopes to promote it as soon as possible.

Speaking of soy products, the first thing that comes to Lu Er's mind is naturally tofu.

Compared with directly cooking beans, turning beans into tofu will have a higher taste and nutritional value, and the remaining bean dregs from making tofu are excellent fertilizers. Soybeans are grown on the land—soybeans are made into tofu—and the bean dregs are used to fertilize the field. The simplest and most effective virtuous circle.

But there is one biggest problem with making tofu right now.

no tools.

In the orc tribe at this time, only the leader and the horns each had a heavy and thick stone pot, which was inconvenient to move and consumed a lot of firewood.Lu You seldom uses that pot at ordinary times, and only makes it hard once in a while when he wants to drink soup.

Except for these two stone pots, the other containers are all large and small gourd ladles.

Scooping water is also a ladle, and filling meat is also a ladle. Even picking fat from the septic tank to water the ground is also a large gourd.

When making tofu, you need to use a large pot to slowly boil the soy milk, and then you need to do some bean curd, filter, etc. It is definitely not enough to empty the stone pot that requires several people to work together.

More importantly, the gauze needed to filter soy milk has no trace in this era.

At this time, the orc tribes were still a few generations away from being able to produce textile technology. They didn't even have the concept of clothes, and they usually wrapped their bodies in animal skins hastily.

This poured a bucket of cold water on Lu You's excited mood.

——Is it possible that soybeans can only be cooked and eaten?

Lu You pondered for a long time, and decided to try her best to find a way.

As long as you think deeply, there are always more ways than difficulties.

——Xiao Mi was so cold and aloof at first, but now she will take the initiative to act like a baby with him, what else can't be done?

Lu Er couldn't think of any solution by himself, so he decided to ask the orcs in the tribe for help.

The orcs of the Redwood tribe had lived in this land for so long that there might be some special way to solve his problems.

Before Bai Xu took his leave, Lu Er, who regained his energy, asked Bai Xu if there was any way to achieve the filtering effect in the tribe.

Baixu didn't understand what Lu Er wanted to filter at first.After Lu Wei's patient and careful explanation, Bai Xu finally understood, frowned and thought for a while, and then said with some hesitation: "Duoyu used straw rope to weave a net rope with small holes before, I wonder if you want it?" Effect."

Lu You was a little surprised, and gently rubbed the head of the cat in his arms: "Where is Duoyu's tent, can you recommend it?"

The Duoyu that Baixu mentioned is a very old sub-beast, the hair on his head is a little gray, and there are many wrinkles on his face.

From Baixu's mouth, Lu You knew that this old Asian beast was almost 50 years old, and he was already considered a longevity-level old man in this primitive orc era.

Time has washed away all the edges and corners of this old Asian beast, making him look cheerful and never quarreled with anyone in the tribe.

Duoyu's orc passed away a long time ago. He gave birth to an orc, and occasionally gave him some prey. In addition, Duoyu himself could weave straw ropes or net bags, and exchange food with other orcs and sub-beasts, and he lived a good life. .

After hearing about Lu Yi's intentions, Duo Yu stopped knitting straw ropes and asked, "How dense a rope do you want?"

"It can only let the water flow out, and don't want anything else." Lu Er pondered for a while, and made an analogy, "It's like the water scooped out of the river filters out all the sand."

Duoyu and Baixu beside him were a little confused. After all, the tribe basically drank water from the stream without filtering it; even if the water was cloudy sometimes, it should be fine after a while.

However, Lu Er now has the title of "witch doctor" on his head, and everything he does has a sense of mystery. Duo Yu didn't ask any more questions, frowned and thought about it, and replied: "I Try your best, and you can pick it up in two days."

Seeing the hope, Lu You thanked happily, while thinking about the problem of the container, he coaxed Xiao Mi, who kept scratching him, back to the tent.

Back in the tent, Lu You realized why Xiao Mi was uncharacteristically restless.

As a result of Meng Meng's murder and Meimei eating a meal of boiled beans, Xiao Mi began to feel that her stomach was expanding and contracting at night, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, all of it turned into a charming gas, pouring out with cheers that could not be ignored out.

"puff!"

Smelling the intoxicating smell and feeling the imminent impact of the next wave, Xiao Mi was dumbfounded.

Lu You squeezed her nose and leaned over, a little distressed and self-blame: "Hey, I told you not to eat too much soybeans... How is it, do you have diarrhea?"

I don't feel diarrhea yet, it's just a simple excretion of gas.

But Xiaomi's entire cat's head has turned red, even through the fine fluff, Lu Yi can see it at a glance.

Lu You couldn't help laughing, and comforted it with kind words: "It's okay, it's just flatulence, Dad doesn't dislike you..."

Xiao Mi stuffed her head under her belly again, her two little paws hugged her head tightly, her eyes were tightly closed in an attempt to escape reality, her heart filled with sorrow.

It used to think of looking for an opportunity to convey the fact that it was a horn to Lu Wei, and then asked for more spiritual water in order to restore the original; just now, this idea has been completely suppressed by it.

——It absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot let Lu Wei know that his orc is so embarrassing!
