Rebirth in Another World: Beginning of the Orcs

Chapter 21:

After sending away a group of diners, the sky gradually darkened.

Lixia began to process soybeans soaked in water.Soybeans are very fresh when they are harvested, and they have been soaked in water for a long time. At this time, they shatter when pinched lightly with a fingernail.Take out half and dry it to dry, and use the rest to make soy milk.Let Ernst place the stone mill on the dining table, and Lixia put an empty wooden barrel under the gap of the millstone to wait for the pulp to be received.The two add beans one by one and push the mill. Driven by the circle of the millstone, the white raw soybean milk trickles down the stone trough of the millstone to the empty barrel that has been waiting, and a series of foams are created due to the height difference.

Soaked soybeans and water are enough to grind two barrels of milk. At this time, the soybean milk should be wrapped to separate the bean curd residue from the soybean milk.If this step is very simple in a modern workshop, hang a cross on the shed, and hang a square tofu bag on the four corners of the cross to form a large net bag.Pour the soy milk into the tofu buns one by one, and the other person shakes the tofu buns so that the pure soy milk leaks from the tofu buns and flows into the large tank below.To a certain extent, the remaining bean curd residue in the tofu bag should be clamped with a splint, and the remaining soy milk should be squeezed out.Until all the soy milk is packaged, the tofu residue is completely separated from the soy milk.

Lixia doesn't have such advanced equipment at all. He only has the filter rattan net that was specially made to filter out sea salt impurities. Although it is not as soft as tofu buns, it is better than that of fine texture.Lixia asked Ernst to spread the rattan net on the mouth of the clay pot and clamp it with his hands so that it would not fall off, while he added the previously ground raw pulp into the rattan net little by little.To say that the biggest advantage of a person is his strong thinking ability, and the vine net used by Lixia to filter is also very powerful, and he completed the filtering task as expected.

Lixia does not intend to throw away the filtered bean dregs. It can be made into bean dregs cakes or bean dregs balls, or even fed to the two guru birds that mass-produce eggs for their own family.

All that was left was to cook the raw soy milk. The stove under the thatched shed had never been extinguished. Li Xia instructed Ernst to put a clay pot full of raw milk on the shelf, and then asked him to make a wooden frame for pressing tofu.Usually the wooden frames we see are made of intersecting wooden strips. There are no iron nails here, so Li Xia asked Ernst to find a wooden pier to dig out directly. It is not wasted to start a fire.Seeing Lixia doing so many preparations, Ernst was not only curious about what this thing called tofu looked like, but he was very happy to be able to participate in the whole production process, at least not let Lixia be busy alone.

Li Xia sat beside the earthen pot and skimmed off the scum on it, while another pile of stove next to it was steaming the dried soybeans.Thinking that the condensed bean curd after boiling is a good thing, Li Xia used the only open clay pot at home to cook soy milk this time, which is actually closer to a clay pot in terms of appearance.After the soy milk boiled for a few minutes, Li Xia turned off the fire. I heard that undercooked soy milk is poisonous, and Aer Dalu has whatever he wants. In case of poisoning, even an antidote can’t be found, it’s better to be careful.

The freshly opened soy milk cannot be stewed because the temperature is too high, and it must be cooled slightly.In the process of waiting, the bean skin is also gradually formed.Seeing that the timing is almost the same, Lixia picks up the bean curd with a clean stick and hangs it to dry, tsk tsk, look at the thickness of the bean curd, sure enough the thick soy milk can have this effect, the kind sold on the street is added Soymilk with too much water will not have a skin at all.Li Xia felt a little apprehensive in his heart, and then decided to ask Ernst to go to the tribe to exchange for a few more open jars.

When the soy milk is warm, you can start to order the brine.Lixia put the brine in a small bowl, poured a little, and then stirred it with a spoon in the soy milk, keeping his eyes on the changes of the soy milk.Put a little more brine and stir again. When it feels almost the same, insert chopsticks into the pot.This is the most critical craft of making tofu, which is not something ordinary people can master.Every tofu master has his own knack, which is kept secret, because more people know this skill, and their jobs will not be secure.Li Xia couldn't help but lamented the power of the Internet and his own brilliance.If it weren't for that search, I would still be making tofu, so I can't help but stare blankly.

Cover the mouth of the clay pot with a rattan lid. Before Lixia, I tried to order tofu brain at home with lactone. After ordering, stuffing it for a while can speed up the forming speed.Looking at the tofu nao sellers on the street, they are still boring in buckets.After waiting for a while, the soy milk has turned into brains, the clear water has been precipitated, and there are white and tender tofu flowers floating in the jar. At this time, the tofu can be pressed.

It was completely dark, only the continuous sound of raindrops hitting the ground.Looking at the hot tofu flower that just condensed and smelling delicious, Li Xia served a bowl for himself and Ernst. There are still a lot of them anyway. Add salt and put some homemade chili oil on it, and eat it warm to the mouth It melts directly without chewing, and it is full of fragrance.

This is not a city, there is no bustling night.The whole tribe was very quiet, and most of the tribe had already fallen asleep on such a rainy night.At the end of the day, Lixia, who has already developed the habit of going to bed early, has already started to yawn with her mouth open. Compared with sitting under the shed and busying herself, Lixia prefers to lie under the covers and listen to the rain.

Because Lixia let Xian, being able to make tofu by himself made Ernst, who was already ready to take over, very excited and eager to try.If you want to make tofu well, you must put the tofu flower into the frame that was pulled out with a wooden pier as soon as possible.Under the guidance of Lixia, Ernst laid a finely woven rattan net under the wooden frame, and then scooped the tofu flowers into the rattan net one by one. Ernst scooped the tofu flowers with one hand and connected them carefully under the spoon Let Lixia feel that he is serious and funny.It is such a person who never misses a grain of rice every time he eats. He takes food seriously beyond the imagination of human beings in modern society.

Water gushed out from under the rattan net, and when Ernst finished scooping up all the tofu flowers, it almost filled the whole frame.The rattan net used to filter sea salt impurities is very large. After the frame is full, the whole tofu flower is wrapped in the way of folding a bag, covered with a chipped wooden board, and pressed with a stone board for spreading egg skins on top. In this way, A set of procedures for making tofu is over.The length of time the slate is pressed determines the tenderness of the tofu.Looking at the pitch-black sky, Li Xia waved at Ernst indifferently, signaling him to watch again tomorrow morning.After that, he rushed to wash up and rolled on the bed.

Ernst looked at Lixia's series of actions and laughed lowly, and then felt distressed. His little female must have been sleepy for a long time.I was cooking and making tofu again today, and I usually fell asleep at this time.Although Li Xia yelled all day long about eating this and that, it seemed greedy, but he knew in his heart that it was just because Li Xia was homesick and missed the home that he could never go back to, and he could only miss it in this way.Moreover, it is precisely because of these that the wolf tribe has so many new foods.If you can't go back to your hometown, you can only make the current place the same as your hometown.

After washing up, Ernst extinguished the stove for the steaming soybeans in the earthenware pot before returning to the room slowly.

There was no fire in the room for lighting, but Ernst, who was an orc, still saw Lixia on the bed.I thought he was already asleep, but who knew that the man was rolling around on the bed with the animal skin quilt in his arms.

Li Xia wanted to sleep at first, but his brain was not free from the excitement of making tofu.Thinking about making tofu, thinking about the previous crops, and thinking about the future development, Lixia no longer drowsy.Seeing Ernst coming in, he even had a target to confide in. "Ernst, we have delicious food now, and we will have a house to live in in the future. The house is just..."

Ernst went to bed and sat on his knees, with half of his body covering Lixia's body. He looked down at Lixia's excited and chattering lips. The opening and closing of his mouth seemed to have a huge magic power to lead him to explore.The owner of the mouth had flushed cheeks, and his eyes shone like jewels.As if tempted, Ernst lowered his head and held his lips. "Since you are so energetic, let's continue to discuss some morning topics, such as topics about favorites." He still didn't forget to nibble twice while speaking.

Li Xia was talking happily, the sudden kiss controlled his voice like a switch.The warm breath that was so close to each other slapped his face, making his heart beat faster with a sudden lag.Before he could react much, he heard what Ernst said. His voice was low, and there was a little joy mixed with it, but it also carried a strong temptation.This tone is as if the psychologist is inducing the patient to reveal the secret, which is reassuring but extremely dangerous.He immediately thought of what happened in the morning. He confessed in the morning.Li Xia blushed immediately, she didn't feel much when she said it at the time, but now thinking about it, she still feels shy, how could she just say that.

Ernst didn't ignore the embarrassment on Li Xia's face, but he was happier and kissed more vigorously.The arms hugging Li Xia's shoulders gradually slid down, and the warm and wide palms began to mess around Li Xia's body.Starting from the cheek, along the line of the body, the thumb brushed the lips, and the fingertips were covered with saliva that could not be swallowed because of the kiss.Fingers all the way down, Lixia's delicate and slender neck is so elegant in Ernst's eyes, the small Adam's apple squirmed up and down with the fingers brushing, the frequency is so fast that it seems to be integrated with the heartbeat.

Ernst's gentle kisses landed on Lixia's collarbone thinly and densely, printing water droplets on his skin one after another.Lixia's round shoulders were exposed under the animal skin coat, which made Ernst miss him all the time.The big palm penetrated deep under Li Xia's animal fur coat, rubbing the smooth skin inch by inch.Li Xia moved his body upwards, as if he could escape Ernst's demands by doing so.Ernst stopped Li Xia's waist and gently pulled, not only was Li Xia's previous moves in vain, but he was directly dragged under Ernst.The large animal fur coat was relieved of the task of covering up, and all of them rushed to Lixia's armpits, and Ernst's gaze could clearly see her white chest and flexible waist.
