After the janitor counted the money, he stuffed the money into Zhang Yu's hand, then quickly picked up the bag of cornmeal and quickly took it into the house.
After hiding it, he came out and continued chatting with Zhang Yu. During the chat, he looked at the place where the food was hidden from time to time.
When the two of them finished chatting and Zhang Yu left the scrap collection station, the janitor sent him away with a smile and kept asking him to come often.
This made Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh, in this era, food is the hard currency!
With food, many things can be done. Whoever holds food in his hands can take the initiative in dealing with others.
After getting away from the watchman's sight, Zhang Yu took out the money from his pocket, counted it again, and then put it into the secret space.
Then I walked towards home with a happy mood.
For him, every money he earns now will bring him one step closer to his dream of being a landlord.
A little adds up to a lot, and 50 yuan is a lot now.
If you save a few more times, you will have enough money for a room.
After the country allows the free trade of houses, he will buy more houses to satisfy his dream of renting a house.
The more I thought about it, the happier I became. I even temporarily let go of the ten years I had been worrying about.
On the way home, he used his consciousness to sort out the things he wanted to take home this time.
After all, the food has been sold to outsiders, so we can't let my aunt and uncle starve. It's not like they have nothing.
When I got home, there was no one at home. My sister-in-law and the others probably hadn't gotten off work yet.
But this also makes it easier for him to get things home without having to find excuses.
Zhang Yu took out his sister-in-law's house key from the secret space. Yes, that's right, there were only three sets of keys in his sister-in-law's house, and he had one set for himself.
Opening the door, I went to my sister-in-law's bedroom and took out 30 kilograms of rice grown by myself, 20 kilograms of flour, and 50 kilograms of cornmeal from the secret space...
After thinking about it, I took out another three kilograms of brown sugar. Two days ago, my sister-in-law said that the supply and marketing cooperative had come and she didn't grab the brown sugar, so I just happened to make up for it today.
After putting the brown sugar, I hid the things I took out with some dissatisfaction. I had no choice but to take out too much at one time. If I took out too much, my sister-in-law and the others would worry about whether they had gone the wrong way.
When I was about to close the door, I remembered something again and took out five pieces of homespun cloth I bought on the road from the secret space.
The people in the hospital originally wanted to ask him to change the homespun cloth two days ago, but because of the incident involving the old Wu family, they were busy sending the Wu family to the hospital as soon as possible.
I was afraid that the Wu family would not be able to be rescued, so I had no idea of changing the cloth, so I simply took some out and left them with my sister-in-law today, so she could figure out what to do.
After locking the door for his sister-in-law, Zhang Yu returned to his home.
Looking at the small stone mill at the door of the kitchen, Zhang Yu suddenly became hungry for tofu.
Due to supply issues, my family has not eaten tofu for a long time.
Thinking of the taste of tofu, he swallowed involuntarily.
Obviously not everything is delicious, but sometimes I suddenly want to eat it, and I can't help it when the thought comes.
There are a lot of soybeans in his space, and now he also has a small stone mill, so why not make some tofu yourself?
But making tofu seems to require soaking the soybeans in advance.
But this is not a big problem for Zhang Yu who has a secret space. There is a secret space. Just put the soybeans to be soaked in the secret space, and it will be soaked in a short time.
This time, he soaked about fifty or sixty kilograms of dried soybeans, and basically used them in all the large and small containers in the secret space.
Zhang Yu's idea was to do a little outside first, and put it on the surface, and do the rest with consciousness in space.
Make more, and then put it in the static space on the lower floor. You can take it out when you want to eat it.
The main reason is that according to the current situation, in recent years, it is not possible to buy tofu when you go out like in later generations.
Since you can't buy it, you can only make it yourself.
While soaking the soybeans, Zhang Yu cleaned the small stone grinder.
Then check the books you signed in to see if there are any books about making tofu.
He actually found it, took the book and read it carefully.
Tofu originated in the Han Dynasty and can be divided into north and south. In the north, old tofu is the main type, while in the south, soft tofu is the main type.
Zhang Yu's taste is between old tofu and tender tofu. He likes the kind of tofu that is older than tender tofu but not as good as old tofu.
After waiting for a while, the cleaned small stone mill was also dry. Zhang Yu took out the soaked soybeans from the secret space and pinched them with his hands. They were already soaked.
5 pounds of dry soybeans soaked into a pot full of nearly 50 pounds of wet soybeans.
He took out the pot of soaked soybeans from the secret space and planned to test them outside first.
The remaining soaked soybeans are first placed in the secret space on the lower level. After the tofu outside is successfully cooked, the remaining beans are cooked in the secret space.
For the small portion of soaked beans that you took out, first filter out the water in which the beans were soaked, and replace them with clean water. According to the book, the ratio of soybeans to water is 1:6.
First grind the soybeans into soy milk using a small stone mill. This step is relatively easy.
First, because the soybeans are better soaked and thoroughly soaked, so they are easier to grind. Second, the small stone mill he bought is really good. Not only is it easy to grind, but the soy milk produced is very delicate.
Zhang Yu looked at the two large barrels of ground soy milk with satisfaction, and then used a gauze bag to filter out the bean dregs in the soy milk.
Pour the filtered soy milk into the pot. At this time, Zhang Yu also discovered another benefit of the large pot.
At least after these two large buckets of soy milk were put into the pot, the entire pot was only 70% filled.
Then heat up the fire and bring the soy milk to a boil. When false boiling occurs, skim off the foam.
He did not dare to pour the foam directly, but put the skimmed foam into the swill bucket in the secret space, preparing to feed the pigs.
Then I took out two pieces of firewood in the pot, turned it to a low fire, and cooked it for more than ten minutes.
At this time, the kitchen began to fill with smoke again. Zhang Yu was choked and coughed continuously, so he could only open the window to let the smoke disperse.
The smell of cooking soy milk attracted my uncle who had just gotten off work. He opened the door and asked, "Xiaoyu, what are you cooking?"
"Uncle, you are back from get off work. I am cooking soy milk. It is already cooked. Do you want to taste it first to see how it tastes?"
After listening to Zhang Yu's words, Zhao Wenzhuo suddenly became interested and walked towards the kitchen. As he walked, he said: "Then I have to try it. I haven't drank soy milk for a long time."
