Chapter 71: Light the fire and cook the soy milk(1/2)
In addition to the girls, Zhao Yanglin, He Xianfei, Qu Feng and others, as well as Lin Guodong and other Taoshan Village villagers, are also looking forward to it.
In this case, let’s start filtering the pulp.
Li You uses the method of filtering the pulp first and then boiling it.
You can also boil the pulp first and then filter the pulp.
The order of these two steps can be reversed.
Depending on the order, the characteristics of the tofu obtained will be different.
Boil the pulp first, then filter the pulp. The tofu obtained in this sequence has poor water-holding capacity and the water is easy to escape, so it is suitable for making old tofu. That is, brine tofu.
The pulp is filtered first and then boiled. The tofu obtained in this sequence has good water holding capacity and high water content, so it is suitable for soft tofu.
That is the gypsum tofu that Li You is going to make.
Therefore, Li You needs to filter the pulp first and then boil it.
Place a large basin under the filter cloth to catch the soy milk.
Use a large spoon to scoop up a spoonful of the newly ground slurry and pour it into the filter cloth.
Scoop a few more spoons.
The soy milk flows downward continuously through the filter cloth.
But if you just let it flow by itself, it will not flow cleanly.
Li You grabbed the two ends of the "ten" wooden frame and pushed, pulled and twisted back and forth, and more soy milk continued to flow out through the filter cloth.
This operation made Ye Shengge, Xia Xiaoyue, Yu Wei and other girls very curious.
Xia Xiaoyue said excitedly: "Boss, can you let me do the operation? This is very interesting, and it doesn't take much effort."
Li You smiled and said: "Okay! Come on."
Saying that, get out of the way.
Xia Xiaoyue walked over and started to operate according to Mr. Li You's movements.
After pushing and pulling a few times, he said happily: "It's really interesting."
"Xiaoyue, let me try it too."
"And I, I want to feel it too."
The girls scrambled to operate.
Zhao Yanglin, He Xianfei, Qu Feng, Lin Guodong and others all looked at it with smiles.
After a while of operation, only bean dregs remained in the filter pulp.
Pour out the bean dregs.
Then scoop in new slurry and continue the previous operation.
Of course, you can’t throw away the bean dregs.
This thing can be mixed with eggs and flour to make bean dregs cake.
The taste is okay.
It can also be regarded as a traditional folk food.
But now that people’s living conditions have improved, they rarely use bean dregs to make bean dregs cakes.
Li You doesn't plan to do it either.
However, bean dregs can also be used to feed pigs.
Feed it after it is cooked. Don't feed too much at one time and there will be no problem.
When Uncle Liang comes to carry the stone mill, ask him to take it back with him.
He raises pigs at home.
Li You asked the girls to continue working, while he planned to find some stones to build a temporary stove.
After filtering the pulp, it’s time to boil the pulp.
Li You originally planned to cook pulp in the kitchen.
But now, he has changed his mind.
He wants to build a temporary stove outside, then take a big pot out of the kitchen and cook the slurry outside.
I think everyone wants to see the pulp cooking process with their own eyes.
Li You is happy to satisfy everyone.
It’s more interesting this way, isn’t it?
There are a lot of stones nearby. Just pick some stones of suitable size and build them into a stove. It's very simple.
When having a banquet in the countryside, the stove is always set up outside.
Li You quickly found two satisfactory stones.
Move back.
After Li You came back carrying two stones, Lin Guodong saw him and quickly understood Li You's intention and said: "Young man, you are going to build a stove here and cook the pulp here. Isn't that right?"
p>
Li You nodded.
Lin Guodong smiled and said: "It's good to cook the soup here, everyone can see it. Come on, young man, we will help you build the stove together."
Li You nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Guodong."
Lin Guodong and several other villagers from Taoshan Village followed Li You to move stones.
Ye Shengge, Xia Xiaoyue, Yu Wei and other girls became excited again when they heard that they would set up a stove here to cook soup.
It’s getting more and more interesting.
Even Zhao Yanglin, He Xianfei and Qu Feng were all impressed once again.
It is indeed getting more and more interesting.
Li You, Lin Guodong and the others soon came back carrying more rocks.
You can take out the pot and compare the size of the stove.
Li You walked into the kitchen and took out a large pot with a mouth diameter of about one meter.
After Lin Guodong and others took a look at it, they knew what was going on.
Start setting up the stove.
Several of them seemed to be experts at setting up stoves, and they were able to perform the operations smoothly.
It didn’t take long to build a nice-looking stove.
Li You put the pot on and planned to give it a try.
The result is just the right size.
I just glanced at the pot and quickly built a stove that was just the right size.
He is indeed an expert.
Li You praised: "These uncles are amazing!"
Lin Guodong and others all smiled and said, "This is nothing. It's just a temporary stove like this. It's very simple."
Li You gave a thumbs up.
Then I walked to the back of the shop and brought some firewood.
By this time, the girls had also finished.
Soy milk and bean dregs have been completely separated.
There are three large basins of pure soy milk.
Then, let’s start cooking the pulp.
"I'll light the fire." Ye Shengge volunteered.
Li You smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll thank you for the hard work."
Ye Shengge said it was not hard work at all.
Then light the firewood and start adding firewood to the stove.
At the same time, Li You poured all the soy milk into the pot.
Stir occasionally. This will prevent the pot from getting stuck.
"Although this stove is made temporarily, it is quite easy to make a fire." Ye Shengge said happily.
Li You smiled and said: "This is because Uncle Guodong and the others are good at base."
