Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Li You was also very happy.

In this case, let’s go buy soybeans.

Soybeans, also called soybeans, are a very ancient and important food crop with a cultivation history of thousands of years.

Originated in my country.

It is also one of the most versatile and favorite legume ingredients.

When soybeans are still young, the pods are green-yellow, densely covered with hair, and the beans are green-green.

At this time, it is also called edamame.

It is a very popular ingredient.

Boiled together with the bean pods, it is a favorite dish for many people in the late-night snack market.

When soybeans are fully mature and old, the pods dry up and the beans turn yellow.

Take out the beans and dry them in the sun, which is what everyone is accustomed to call soybeans.

Li You and the other five arrived at the first stall selling soybeans.

"Ingredients: soybeans.

Quality: inferior."

These soybeans still look very good, and each one is relatively plump.

But since it is of inferior quality, then look at other brands.

After looking at two more houses, I finally found one of medium quality.

In appearance, these soybeans are not much different from the previous ones.

If there wasn't a system, Li You would have just bought it at a random store.

"Boss, how do you sell soybeans?"

"Three yuan and a pound. Do you want to buy some?"

The price is right.

Li You nodded, "I want two catties."

Generally speaking, one pound of soybeans can yield three to five pounds of tofu.

This time I will make seven to eight kilograms, or ten kilograms of tofu, which is almost enough.

"Okay."

The boss took a bag and started weighing the soybeans.

Seeing that Li You finally took action, Ye Shengge, Zhao Yanglin, He Xianfei, and Qu Feng all breathed a sigh of relief.

They had seen Li You several times before but had not made any move, fearing that they would not even be able to satisfy Li You.

Then you can’t make tofu.

Fortunately, we finally took action.

Two pounds of soybeans cost seven yuan.

Li You took the soybeans handed over by the boss and scanned the QR code to pay.

Next I have to buy gypsum powder.

Because we are making soft tofu, we need to use gypsum powder as the coagulant.

Gypsum powder is obtained by calcining raw gypsum at high temperatures. It is edible gypsum powder. It is not raw gypsum powder like building materials.

The quality of gypsum powder varies widely.

After searching the entire market, I finally found a medium-quality one.

Li You bought half a catty for eight yuan.

I definitely won’t use so much, I’ll keep the rest for later use.

Next we go back to the hotel.

I didn’t buy the Lotus White. But it doesn’t matter. I’ll introduce the Lotus White Twice-cooked Pork next time.

……

After Li You returned to the hotel on his motorcycle, Ye Shengge, Zhao Yanglin, He Xianfei, and Qu Feng also arrived one after another.

Before grinding soybeans into soy milk, they need to be soaked in water for several hours.

Therefore, polishing the soy milk has to wait until the afternoon.

Ye Shengge, Zhao Yanglin and others knew this, so their interest remained undiminished and they were still very much looking forward to it.

Li You took out a large aluminum basin and poured two kilograms of soybeans into the basin.

Take your pick.

Pick out individual broken soybeans.

Pour in water.

Next, just wait for the soybeans to slowly soak.

Taking advantage of the fact that there are no other customers for the time being, Li You plans to hurry back to the village to borrow a stone mill.

Ask Ye Shengge, Zhao Yanglin and others to help you see the store, and Li You gets on his motorcycle and sets off.

……

Twenty minutes later, we returned to the village.

There is a villager in the village named Liu Jialiang, who is in his fifties.

Li You remembered that he had a stone mill at home that was not very heavy.

There is also an electric tricycle. I just happened to borrow his tricycle to carry the stone mill there.

A tricycle is needed to carry the stone mill. It is difficult to carry it on a motorcycle.

Go check it out.

We arrived directly outside the courtyard of the Liu family and the Liang family.

There is a weir pond not far away.

Someone is fishing.

Li You took a closer look and saw that it was Liu Jialiang.

Turn off the motorcycle, get off the motorcycle, and park it.

Walk over.

Liu Jialiang was attracted by the sound of the motorcycle engine just now and turned to look.

Li You smiled and said: "Uncle Liang, have you gained anything?"

Liu Jialiang also smiled and said: "I caught a few crucian carp. Xiaoyou, are you looking for me?"

Li You nodded and said, "Uncle Liang, I remember you have a stone mill at home. Is it still there now?"

Liu Jialiang said: "Yes. We ground beans to make tofu two days ago. What's the matter, Xiaoyou?"

Li You felt happy and said: "I want to borrow it for a while. I also use it to grind beans, and I also want to make some tofu."

Liu Jialiang nodded and said: "You can just use it. But, Xiaoyou, do you need tofu in your store? It's more convenient for you to buy it directly! If you make it yourself, it will be very time-consuming and laborious."

Li You smiled and said: "I just want to do it once and feel it."

Liu Jialiang nodded, "That's okay. Let's go, I'll take you to get it."

"Thank you, Uncle Liang."

"You're welcome. By the way, I heard that business in your store is pretty good right now. Is that true?"

"We are indeed starting to get more and more customers."

"That's good, that's good."

"..."

The two people walked to the stone mill while talking.

This stone mill is not too big, with a disc diameter of about 40 cm and a thickness of about 12 cm.

The total weight of the stone mill is about 200 kilograms. In addition, the upper and lower grinding discs can be separated.

Therefore, it is not difficult to transport it.

This is exactly Li You's goal stone mill.

"This thing needs to be carried on a tricycle. Xiaoyou, let me carry it for you on a tricycle. Will it be carried to your shop?"

Li You was about to ask to borrow a tricycle, but Liu Jialiang said this first.
