Beginning Backpack [Farming]

In the middle of the night, the rainy season in Linshanyuan arrived as scheduled.There were bursts of thunder outside the house, waking up the two sleeping people, and the small thatched cottage was lit with warm yellow candlelight.

Amidst the rustling sounds, Shen Huaijin rubbed her sleepy eyes, and walked to the window in a posture of half lying on the orc's generous body.

He propped up a gap in the window, and saw the pouring rain pouring down outside the house, the rain was fierce, and the thick black enveloped the entire valley.

Amidst the crackling of rain and the occasional thunder, Shen Huaijin heard the long horned beast's long roar, echoing in the valley.

"Excited!"

The childish voice responded, and saw three little beasts running recklessly in the rain.They were wet and covered in mud.It seems that they are thirsty. They have big ears and their heads are facing upwards, and they keep shaking their noses.

It was obviously a pitch-black night, but Shen Huaijin could imagine the expression of enjoyment on the little beast's face.

This is the water of life.

"It's finally raining." Shen Huaijin murmured in a low voice.

His eyes had regained clarity, and the sound of the rain outside the house was particularly annoying, making it impossible to sleep, so He Li leaned against the window, silently feeling the coolness and dampness in the air.

It was only when the sky was getting brighter that the rain stopped, and the two of them were able to sleep back into the cage.

She slept until noon before waking up. The rain had stopped temporarily. Shen Huaijin opened the door, only to see mist in the valley, covering the ground like a veil.

The overnight rain moistened the Linshan Plain, the beasts came back in spirit, and the shriveled plants also glowed with green vitality.

Shen Huaijin stretched her waist, breathing in the fresh air after the rain to her heart's content.He put on hard-soled rattan shoes, stepped on the wet mud, first went to the birdhouse and the animal pen to see if there was any water, and he was relieved when he saw that the animals were fine.

It is not convenient for the tribe to collect in this heavy rain, they can only eat the food they have stockpiled before, and the hairy beasts also have no source of fresh feed, so Shen Huaijin can only feed them some leftover bean dregs.

Almost at the same time as his voice sounded, Baa Baa immediately stood up and ran, and separated from Shen Huaijin by a wall, poked his fluffy head out, screaming softly, as if accusing him of not being sincere.

Shen Huaijin rubbed its head, feeling the soft texture, "Baa, do you miss me?"

A few days ago, he was busy with his own affairs, and he hadn't taken a walk for a long time, and he probably bored him, who is used to being comfortable.

The palms rubbed again and again, showing intimacy.

Shen Huaijin laughed, and rubbed it for a long time before saying: "The weather is bad now, I will walk you in two days, good boy."

It took a long time to persuade Baa Baa to eat food. Shen Huaijin looked at the hairy beasts with their heads bowed and humming, and felt relieved.He sneaked away to see what was going on in the seedling field.

Fortunately, rice is now at a time when the stalks are strong and resistant to lodging. The heavy rain overnight did not damage much of the rice, but the water level in the seedling field has risen a lot and needs to be adjusted.

The rice is in the filling stage. If the soil is too watery and lacks oxygen, the root system is prone to premature aging. In this rainy day, the water in the seedling field can be completely drained to keep the soil moist.

After Shen Huaijin drained the water from the seedling field, he did not block the waterway, so that when it rained again, he would not be afraid of flooding the rice.

After finishing the rice fields, he was relieved, and with his clean elbows, he punched Li Li's waist, and said in a brisk tone, "Let's go, let's make tofu!"

The two washed their hands, took out the six large cans of soybean milk left over from yesterday, and poured them into the pot for cooking in batches.When cooking soy milk, use medium heat to simmer slowly, and stir while cooking to prevent the bottom from sticking.

The soy milk was heated to boiling, the rich and mellow fragrance emitted became more and more attractive, and the foam on the surface became more and more, Shen Huaijin pushed it away little by little.

Turn off the heat when it boils to a certain extent. After the original boiling soy milk has been left to stand for a while, a thin layer of bean skin will form on the surface. Gently lift it up and hang it aside to dry. good.

Immediately afterwards, the two slowly poured the well-mixed brine into the soybean milk, while stirring clockwise with a long spoon.

This brine was obtained when refining crude salt before, and it was a block of brine formed by the crystallization of magnesium chloride that was precipitated after the evaporation of the remaining mother liquor. Shen Huaijin specially left some for the preparation of ordering tofu today.

As the brine is poured in and stirred slowly, flocculent suspensions are precipitated in the originally liquid soybean milk, and the stirring can be stopped at this time.Shen Huaijin took a clean wooden board to cover it, and let it react.

He found a wooden assembly box that had previously contained milk tofu, cut a small hole in each bottom, and put a lid on it, which can be used as a tofu mold.

After standing still for about ten, twenty, ten minutes, I opened the wooden board, and the inside had solidified into the state of bean curd.

A small glass of transparent brine can turn liquid into solid, even seeing it with your own eyes is a very surprising thing for orcs.

"Jin, is this ready to eat?"

"It's edible, but the taste is not good. Let's eat it after pressing it into tofu."

This kind of tofu nao is relatively thin, not as smooth and delicate as the tofu nao made from glucose lactone, it is better to make tofu directly.

"Li, you take the soy milk out of the pot first, so that the tofu can be pressed and formed quickly." Shen Huaijin suggested.

He went to the house and took two pieces of sackcloth, soaked them and spread them in the homemade tofu molds.

At this time, most of the light yellow soy milk water in the pot has been scooped out, and the thin tofu brains are piled up together, looking very soft and tender.Shen Huaijin scooped the tofu brains into the mold with a large spoon, filled it to an appropriate amount, wrapped it in sackcloth, covered the mold lid, and pressed a heavy object on it.

The longer the pressing time, the older the tofu will be. He prefers tender tofu, and he only pressed it for about 15 minutes.

Disassemble the mold, lift the sackcloth, and you can see the formed white tofu.

Shen Huaijin cut it into small pieces.Tofu in brine does not have high water content and is not as soft and tender as gypsum tofu, but it has a fine texture and elasticity under light pressure. It can not only be stewed in soup, but also suitable for various frying.

He sipped a small piece, and after being pressed with a heavy object, the texture of the tofu was no longer as flimsy as before. It was delicate and dense, and full of mellow aroma.

Shen Huaijin handed the remaining half to the orc's lips, and said excitedly, "Li, try it quickly."

The warm touch touched Shen Huaijin's fingertips, and the orc swallowed half a piece of tofu whole.

Li recalled the taste in his mouth, his expression couldn't be said to be good or bad, "The fragrance is quite fragrant, but it tastes like nothing."

"After all, I haven't cooked it yet." Shen Huaijin poured a few pieces of tofu onto the plate, moving carefully, fearing to damage these soft treasures, "I made tofu fish stew and sweet and sour crispy tofu in the evening, and you It's good to know it."

He raised his eyebrows sharply, noncommittal.He imitated Shen Huaijin's movements and continued to scoop up tofu nao to suppress it.

They were waiting for the next box of tofu to be produced in the shed, when the drizzle started again, like smoke and mist.Shen Huaijin stretched out her bare arms, and the soft raindrops fell on the skin like a breeze blowing on the face, and the moonlight touched the lips, bringing only a little cool touch.

The air was refreshing and pleasant for a long time, Shen Huaijin became playful, greeted Li, put on a bamboo hat and ran out.

After the heavy rain, the water level of the stream has risen, and three longhorn cubs are also playing around in the water.

Although they are still cubs with big ears, they have actually reached the height of Shen Huaijin's shoulders, and their muscular proboscis is enough to support half of his weight.

The three little beasts pushed Shen Huaijin affectionately, swaggering their long noses happily, and shook the mud all over his body.

"Hey!" Shen Huaijin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tried to push them away, but the little beast who didn't know the situation circled him even more excitedly.

He avoided it, simply ignored the dirty mud, and started fighting with the little beasts until he was sweating profusely before begging for mercy and driving the big ears to other places.

He let out a long breath, and after recovering his even breathing rate, he picked up a pointed wooden stick and went fishing in the stream.

The rainy weather was low, and fish generally floated in shallow water. Shen Huaijin had quick eyes and hands, and skillfully forked two fat fish.

He washed his feet and brought two big fish home, his muddy appearance shocked Li in the shed.

"You are... you fell down?!"

"What?" Shen Huaijin lowered his head, only to realize that his clothes were in a mess, not the usual clean look at all. He put down the fish in embarrassment, and smiled, "I'll wash it first, and you clean up the fish."

He ran to the place behind the house where the two of them occasionally showered, rinsed briefly, put on clean clothes, and returned to the shed.

The thin man brushed his wet hair back to reveal his full forehead, and rubbed his face violently with a cloth towel. His skin was porcelain white, and a little powder appeared after he had sex without hesitation. The appearance of not long ago.

"Don't use so much force, your face will turn red." Li sighed beside him.Although the other party repeatedly emphasized that he was much older than himself, at this moment, Li also inevitably felt a sense of helplessness that only occurs when raising a cub.

"Huh, comfortable!" Shen Huaijin felt refreshed.

At this time, five boxes of tofu had already been piled up in front of him, and the two big fish were also cleaned up. Shen Huaijin carried them to the side of the stove.The stove is covered by a shed, so it is not afraid of rain.

Tofu stewed fish soup is the same as ordinary fish soup.As the saying goes, a white soup comes out of a big fire. After Shen Huaijin fry the fresh fish on both sides until golden, pour hot water and boil it to a milky white color, then add tofu cubes, and turn to a low heat to boil.

Cut the remaining tofu into slices, dip it in the egg wash, heat the oil in a pan, and fry until golden on both sides.The surface of the tofu becomes crispy, and it is piled on the plate one by one.

Shen Huaijin took a clean pot, poured fish sauce, lemon juice, sugar, a little salt and pepper powder in proportion, turned on a low heat, slowly poured in water starch to thicken the sauce, and the thick sweet and sour sauce was prepared up.

The sweet and sour sauce is poured on the golden tofu, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions, the color and aroma are delicious and very attractive.

Shen Huaijin asked Li Jiang to take the delicious tofu stewed fish soup from the stove and replace it with two bowls of egg custard.

The steamed tender yolk custard was topped with four or five drops of fish sauce and two drops of animal oil, and brought to the house together with two other dishes.

The small room was suddenly filled with the aroma of vegetables.

Shen Huaijin first picked two pieces of crispy tofu for Li, and then another piece for herself, and said expectantly, "Try it."

The two bit down at the same time.

The golden tofu dipped in the dark sauce is put into the mouth, and the complex and attractive taste blooms on the tip of the tongue. The sweet and sour is also spicy, which makes people want to stop.The skin of the tofu is fried to a crisp, but the inside is soft and dense, and it is a must after dipping in the sauce.

Shen Huaijin liked it so much that his eyes almost shone, he and Li looked at each other, and said in unison: "It's delicious!"

"Let me just say it." Shen Huaijin spoke with a proud tone, as if he did not accept the evaluation made in the afternoon.

"Yes yes yes." The beast on the opposite side was convinced, with a smile on his face, "tofu is really delicious, you should eat more."

Shen Huaijin scooped two large spoonfuls of fish soup into the bowl, and scooped up some fish and tofu.

The tofu has been stewed for a long time without breaking, it is full of soup, and it is watery.After a little cooling, the delicious fish soup splashes on the lips and tongue, and the bean fragrance is still sweet.

He swallowed two more pieces of tofu whole, it was so delicious that he almost chewed his tongue off.

Compared with the toughness of old tofu, the custard is much smoother and tender. Fish sauce and animal oil melt on the tender yellow soup, exuding an attractive aroma.With a spoon, the custard shakes softly, melts in the mouth, and is full of fresh fragrance.

Shen Huaijin was eight or nine percent full, sat at the table contentedly, and watched the orc clean up the dishes neatly.

At night, when the rain became heavy, the two embraced each other and slept with peace in their hearts.

The author has something to say: some older relatives used to do the job of grinding tofu, and they had to get up at three or four in the morning to grind beans. It was very hard work, and Xiao Shen had someone to help them, so they could run out to play halfway through. The situation is different (*/ω＼*)
