Tian Minyan held a copper basin filled with big soybeans in one hand and twisted a small wooden bucket in the other. She walked into Aunt Zhu's house next door with a smile on her face.
"Sister Yan, you're here." Yan Yin was feeding the chickens, and when she saw Tian Minyan, she walked over with a smile.
"Girl Yan, are you grinding beans again?" Aunt Zhu was sitting under the eaves, mending an old dress, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, Auntie, I'm here to bother you again." Tian Minyan said crisply.
"Neighbors and fellow villagers, what are you talking about?" Aunt Zhu spat at her and said with a smile: "It's just a dead thing. It won't hurt if you use it twice more. Besides, the thing you taught your uncle to make is pushed
Grinding saves a lot of trouble."
"Auntie, I'll go then." Tian Minyan thanked her with a smile, then walked to the back of the yard and put down all the objects in her hands.
"Sister Yan, let me help you scoop the beans." Yan Yinjian said abruptly.
"You're not busy. If you have something to do, just do your work. I can do it myself." Tian Minyan glanced at the newly added object on the stone mill and couldn't help but smile and said: "Your father is a skillful man, Cai'er said
Once he did it, he knew how to do it."
It turned out that Tian Minyan had soaked soybeans two days ago. Since there was no stone mill at home, she came to borrow the stone mill from Yan Yin's house. However, she found that the most primitive pusher to turn the stone mill was laborious and tiring.
It's a weak one and can't push it.
Tian Minyan remembered the push mills she saw in the countryside in her previous life. The pushers were covered with a rod, which was welded at 90 degrees, and a horizontal bar was welded at the end, which was shaped like the front of a bicycle. In this way,
People can put their hands on both ends and exert clockwise force to make the rod rotate with the stone mill.
Yan Yin's father, Zhu Dalang, was a blacksmith. As soon as Tian Minyan told him, he knew how to do it. After the thing was welded, Tian Minyan came to see it and ordered him to tie a slip knot with a hemp rope and hang the pole from the eaves.
When you push the pusher, the club head drives the stone mill to rotate, which saves a lot of effort.
"Dad just praised you. He said this method is good. Even I can push it now." Yan Yin laughed and helped her clean the stone mill with well water and set up the wooden barrel to hold the slurry water.
Pick up a spoon and pour a spoonful of water and beans into the hollow hole in the middle of the stone grinder.
"Sister Yan, there was a commotion at your house yesterday, what happened next? Is Xiaowu okay? Speaking of which, Gou Sheng's mother is really cruel." After Zhu Yanyin put the beans, she helped Tian Minyan grind the mill.
While chatting.
"After all, she won't let her beating go in vain." Tian Minyan replied with a smile. She thought of Li's angry and embarrassed look yesterday, and felt funny for a while.
He was so greedy that he drank the milk she had mixed with something good without saying hello. He blamed her, saying that goat's milk was poisonous, and yelled that Tian Minyan was not well-intentioned and allowed people to drink bad things.
Tian Minyan smiled strangely and opened her mouth exaggeratedly and said in surprise: "Second Aunt, you must have eaten the leftover milk in the pot, right?"
Mrs. Li felt completely exhausted. Seeing Tian Minyan asking this question, she felt bad and nodded with a pale face.
"Ouch, you can't drink that." Tian Minyan said, slapping her thigh.
"Why can't you drink?" Ms. Li started to tremble. For some reason, she felt that Tian Minyan had evil intentions.
"My mother said that there were more and more mice in the house, so I thought about using the small half bowl of milk to treat the mice, so I gave the mouse drug. Hey, could it be that I got it wrong?"
"What? Rat poison?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li screamed and her face faded.
"Yes, it's strange. I bought the rat medicine from Salesman Song. He said it is the best medicine. Just a little bit will kill all the rats. Could it be that he deceived me? Oh, Second Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Tian Minyan saw Mrs. Li falling to the ground and couldn't help shouting: "Here comes someone, my second aunt passed away."
That's right, Ms. Li was so frightened that she fainted. When she woke up, she screamed for a doctor, saying that she was going to die and turn into a dead rat. Thanks to Tian Minqing's constant persuasion, she stopped.
"Really, is everything okay? Isn't it really rat poison?" Ms. Li asked with a pale face, holding her daughter's hand.
"Mom, if it's rat medicine, can you still talk? That damn girl Tian Minyan said that she took the wrong medicine, the croton powder from the front, that's why you got diarrhea." Tian Minqing said angrily:
"So, why are you so reluctant to see good things and just eat and drink randomly without asking?"
Tian Minqing thought of Tian Minyan's proud but ill-intentioned and gloating look, and wanted to tear her face off, but it happened that the person who was embarrassing herself was her own mother.
"Who knew this damn girl could drug me? She must have done it on purpose, yes, she must have." After hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately cursed angrily: "She just deliberately gave me medicine to make me feel uncomfortable, damn girl,
See if I don’t tear her apart.”
"Mom, they said it was a drug used to poison rats, but they didn't ask you to take it. Fortunately, it's croton powder. What if it's really a drug used to poison rats? Let's see if you dare to eat her food in the future."
"This, this shouldn't be right." Mrs. Li was frightened for a while, and then thought of Tian Minyan's sharp, cold and arrogant eyes in the livestock pen, she shuddered, secretly thinking that it would be better not to offend this girl in the future, so as not to suffer further losses.
Then I thought, why didn’t that damn guy come to pick me up and take me to Yokogawa?
But one day, Li met Tian Minyan like a mouse meeting a cat, avoiding her, which made Tian Minyan feel very comfortable.
"Anyway, if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will pay back tenfold." In response to Zhu Yanyin's questioning, Tian Minyan just smiled and said half seriously and half jokingly.
With Zhu Yanyin's help, Tian Minyan quickly ground a pot of beans, enough for a small bucket of soy milk.
After returning home, Tian Minyan hurriedly cooked soy milk and goat milk for later use, and started making cakes again.
With the experience of the first time and the help of Luo Shi for the second time, Tian Minyan used charcoal to record the amount of cake ingredients she weighed while working hard and quickly made a cake.
In the second finished product, the ones who acted as the guinea pigs were naturally my own family members.
Tian Minyan looked at Tian Huairen and others eagerly and asked, "How is it?"
"It's delicious." Tian Huairen commented plainly.
"Fragrant, soft, better than the first one." Xiao Wu's evaluation
"Fragrant and elastic, rich in egg milk/egg flavor, soft, easy to melt in the mouth, moderate sweetness, good." Tian Minrui's evaluation.
"It's better than what I made before. It's so sweet. I think this kind of old man will be very easy to digest after eating it." Luo Shi swallowed in small mouths.
Tian Minyan smiled happily after hearing this and motioned for them to drink the soy milk on the table: "Try it with this."
"good."
"So sweet."
“The bean flavor is strong and it looks fresh when eaten this way.”
Tian Minyan looked at the satisfied faces of several people, smiled and frowned, and said: "In this case, we will start our journey according to this formula."
