Chapter 35 Mulberry Leaf Tofu

"If we work together, we will definitely make more and more money in the future." Bai Dashan said happily.

Li Chengcheng asked, "How much pocket money do you want?"

"I don't want it. You put a few dollars in change in the drawer so that you can easily access it when you need to buy something. You put the rest away. From now on, our family's money will be handed over to my wife." Bai Dashan said.

She also wanted to buy the wild fruits picked by Bai Shuli and Bai Shuyan, so Li Chengcheng counted ten dollars and put them in the drawer of the bedside cabinet. She hid the rest in the closet together with the small wooden box and covered it with clothes.

Got up.

After that, the two people sat on the bed and talked. Li Chengcheng studied Bai Dashan's long and broad hands, "Boss Bai, you can ask the carpenters in the village to help me pack five boxes for clothes some other time. And bamboo baskets with smaller holes will cost dozens of dollars."

Let him do it slowly. I'm not in a hurry. There are also chicken cages and rabbit cages. The turtle dove cages each require ten. They should be larger. One cage can hold at least ten. You are so good at catching turtle doves.

, remember to catch a few live ones for me, I want to raise them."

Now that she has such a magical cave space, she must make good use of it. Put any valuable things in it in the future, or put things that don't have room at home to put them in, so as to prevent things from being stolen.

"Okay, I will keep what my wife said in mind." Bai Dashan put his hands around Li Chengcheng's slender and soft waist, lowered his head and blocked her mouth, wishing he could give his life to her.

Men are indeed self-taught creatures. It has only been a few days and he has become more and more proficient.

After that, the lives of Li Chengcheng and Bai Dashan became stable. Li Chengcheng went to the mountains to pick wild fruits during the day, and Bai Dashan rode his bicycle to the town every morning to sell wild fruits. The two of them made money together.

Seeing the green mulberry leaves on Cheng Xueyang's grave, Li Chengcheng suddenly had a new idea, so she said to Cheng Xueyang's grave, "Grandma, now I want to pick the mulberry leaves on your grave to make mulberry leaf tofu. If

If you don’t agree, just shake the leaves.”

After Li Chengcheng finished speaking, he looked up at the tall mulberry tree on the grave. After waiting for a while, the leaves did not move at all. Li Chengcheng knew that grandma agreed, so she hurriedly climbed up the tree and began to pick up the leaves quickly.

Li Chengcheng had never made mulberry leaf tofu before. It was the first time she made it and she didn’t dare to pick too many leaves. She just picked a basket of leaves and went home. After returning home, she first went to the well to fetch water and used it as a hemp rope.

The blisters reached the palm of her hand and she gasped in pain.

She endured the pain in her palms, lifted the water up, poured it into the basin, and then soaked the fresh mulberry leaves in the water. To make food into food, she must do a good job of hygiene, whether it is herself or others.

, if there is a problem with eating, the responsibility will be heavy and she cannot bear it.

The mulberry leaves were soaked in well water, and Li Chengcheng stopped worrying. He turned around and went to feed the chickens, throwing wild vegetables into the chicken shed, where several chickens were pecking at each other.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Li Chengcheng walked over to open the door.

I saw the wife of the grandfather who was stuck in the pit that day standing outside the door.

Li Chengcheng asked hurriedly, "Grandma, is grandpa back? How is grandpa?"

"The old man is back. Thank you so much. If you hadn't discovered our old man, we would have been gone if others had found out. Cheng Cheng, you are a great benefactor to our family!" Grandma was kind!

He was smiling, but there was something strange in his eyes when he looked at Li Chengcheng, which made Li Chengcheng feel a little creepy.

"Grandma, you are serious." Li Chengcheng smirked.

Grandma continued, "We were still in the county when you got married, and I felt very sorry for not coming back to attend your wedding, so I made a pair of woolen shoes for each of you. The workmanship is rough, so don't dislike it!"

With that said, grandma handed two pairs of woolen shoes to Li Chengcheng, one pair was dark blue and one pair was burgundy. They looked very thick and must be very warm to wear in winter.

"Grandma, this is impossible. Wool is such an expensive thing. How can grandma make shoes for us?" Li Chengcheng hurriedly declined. Although she was not very clear about the price of wool in this era, she had seen it from the articles of those eras.

, how come the wool costs several dollars per pound? These two pairs of wool shoes cost an unknown amount of wool, how can she accept it?

"Cheng Cheng, if you hadn't discovered our old man, our old man would be gone. If he were gone, I wouldn't be able to live anymore. So you saved two lives, and these two pairs of woolen shoes

How can it be compared to two lives? I have nothing to repay you, only this little skill." Grandma said, her eyes turning red, "Cheng Cheng, do you dislike grandma's craftsmanship?"

"No, no." Li Chengcheng waved his hands hurriedly, "Grandma's woolen shoes are very nice."

In her previous life, someone in her neighborhood made handmade woolen shoes. A pair cost forty or fifty yuan, and her mother bought one.

"Since you don't dislike grandma's craftsmanship, then accept it, so that grandma can feel better."

Li Chengcheng had no choice but to reach out and take the woolen shoes. They were very thick and of better quality than the ones her mother bought in her previous life. Li Chengcheng said sheepishly, "Thank you, grandma. I wish grandpa a speedy recovery."

"We thank you too." Grandma said lovingly.

After grandma went back, Li Chengcheng went back to the room and tried on the woolen shoes. The woolen shoes were a little too big, but it didn't matter. You must wear thick socks in winter, and then the size would be just right.

Then Li Chengcheng went to clean the mulberry leaves. She cleaned the mulberry leaves piece by piece, then chopped them with a knife, wrapped the chopped mulberry leaves with linen, then rubbed them and filtered out the green mulberry leaf juice.

Without tools, he had to rely on handwork, so this step was very hard, but when he thought about making money, Li Chengcheng didn't find it hard anymore.

After the mulberry leaf juice was ready, Li Chengcheng went to the straw pile and pulled out a handful of straw. After burning it to ashes, he used the straw ash to filter out the clean plant ash water, and then added it to the mulberry leaf juice.

After all the steps were completed, Li Chengcheng brought the mulberry leaf juice to the big table in the main room and covered it with a bamboo lid to prevent dust from falling inside. After the mulberry leaf tofu solidified, it was ready

have eaten.

If it tastes good, it can be sold.

It is already mid-July, which can be said to have entered the hottest time of the year. The village is afraid of people suffering from heatstroke and life-threatening injuries, so work ends very early at noon, at eleven o'clock.

When Bai Dashan came back, he saw a basin of green water on the table and asked in confusion, "Daughter-in-law, what is that?"
