Chapter 67

"Without wages, many people can't afford to eat these days. Where can I get the wages? Just give him something to eat and live."

If Li Changfeng doesn't want to, the people in the hospital will feel empty as soon as he exports. There's no salary, so he can't subsidize his family. It's no difference.

Old Li's face also sank, "you go and ask him to come back quickly! It's like a man who doesn't get married to take care of others! "

Li Changfeng shook his head, "how can this work, and this is also a good thing."

"Good what good! A serious brother will take care of strangers?! Call me back quickly! " Old man Li said fiercely.

"Yes, if it gets out, how much gossip will the villagers have to say," whispered boss Li's daughter-in-law, who was pulled by boss Li's hand.

Li Changfeng smiled calmly, "it's not a good thing. My little brother is also afraid that his family life can't be opened. He also knows that he eats much. As soon as he leaves, he's not far away in the town. He can go home as long as he wants. He doesn't have to prepare his food at home. How can it be a bad thing?"

It's true. Old Li and old man Li's faces eased down one after another, but old man Li still said, "let him see what to do!"

"Well, I'll go back, too." Li Changfeng stood up and just got on the donkey cart. Looking at the strong donkey, Li couldn't help saying, "this donkey is growing fatter than our piglet. You must have more food and trouble."

"Don't bother. Our family depends on it. If we can pull a few people on the road and keep it, what's the trouble? Let's go!" Li Changfeng doesn't follow Li's routine and sells himself poor. Li is depressed and can't tell directly. He can't say he wants to eat meat!

"That's what happened. In that case, we'll go to see our brother every three or five times." After hearing Li Changfeng's story about little brother Li, Xu Qing was relieved at last.

"OK, I know. Just be at ease." Li Changfeng thought he had to tell brother Li what he said in Li's yard. Don't be ignorant. Brother Li foolishly handed back all his wages. Brother Li is also the age for marriage. He has to save more private money.

As time passed by, the seasons changed. In a twinkling of an eye, Xu Qing's stomach grew from five months to eight months, and it was ripe in two months. Now, it's November, and the weather has begun to get cold.

Fortunately, just last month, it finally rained. Although there were no crops in the field, the rain came and the farmers' hope came.

Li Changfeng has turned over the field again in that month and irrigated the water. It can be said that he is a good hand in the field!

The water level of the river outside the village has also risen, and there are more smiles in the village. These days, they are planting vegetables and food in the field, so that they can eat some hot dishes in winter.

What surprises Xu Qing is that there are potatoes here! So he didn't care whether he could survive or not. Anyway, he had Lingquan, so he asked Li Changfeng to free up one mu of land to plant potatoes and one mu of land to plant sweet potatoes!

During this period, when Xu Qing was free, he secretly wandered around to the ground dripping Lingquan. Now many sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings have grown in the field, which makes the villagers more hopeful. At this time, they can plant them. I'm afraid it's hard this winter!

So the village began to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes together with Xu Qing. Forced by Xu Qing, he secretly dropped some Lingquan in the total source of irrigation in the village. In this way, the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted by every family came out.

Although Xu Qing's stomach is big and powerful, he is thin everywhere except his stomach. Looking at it from a distance, he can only see his stomach. It's scary. Xie Amy said that the children in his stomach are absorbing the energy of his body. Therefore, although Xu Qing eats a lot, the reason why he is not fat in other places except his stomach comes out.

But what surprised Li Changfeng and Xu Qing was that the child turned over in his stomach and "stretched out his fists and feet." at this time, he was always reminding the new father how strong and lively the child was.

As soon as Li Changfeng came home, he saw Xu Qing's cat touching his stomach.

"Kick you again?"

Xu nodded. "No, he doesn't kick me more than ten times a day. It's amazing!" He doesn't hurt when he moves lightly, but he hurts badly when he comes to a big one occasionally!

As soon as Li Changfeng put his hand on Xu Qing's stomach, he felt that the little guy had another foot. Li Changfeng smiled foolishly, and Xu Qing clapped his hand, "don't laugh, help me, and I'll go back to the house to warm up."

Although there are Kang and fire wall, it's just getting cold. Xu Qing doesn't want to use it so soon, otherwise he won't want to go out when it's cold in the back.

"Today, Xie ah Yao talked about brother Xiaoyu again." Xu Qing lay in the warm bed, comfortable just want to hum, but think of today's Xie a Yao's words, still talked to Li Changfeng.

"But worried about the children again?" Li Changfeng doesn't have to guess what Xie Aime is worried about. Brother Xie has been married to the Lin family for more than half a year, and his stomach still hasn't moved. Xie Aime is worried!

Xie Ge'er's body was carefully conditioned by old doctor Lin, and Xu Qing had given him Lingquan before. Lin Fangliang was kind to him. It can be said that he was comfortable and healthy, but he just couldn't bear it. Xie Ge'er's pressure began to increase. Even if Lin Fangliang said it didn't matter if he didn't have children, he still couldn't let go.

"I think brother Xiaoyu is too worried!" Xu Qing has heard a case before, that is, the more he wants to conceive, the more he can't conceive. The more he thinks, the more serious his mind is. Naturally, his body hasn't let go. When he's ready, how can he conceive.

"Yes, by the way, what would you like to eat in the evening?" The most important thing li Changfeng thinks about is Xu Qing.

"What to eat."

Xu Qing really didn't know that his appetite suddenly dropped these days. "By the way, the soybeans we bought!" Xu Qing suddenly thought of tofu!

"In the warehouse, you want to eat? I'll cook it! " They cook soybeans directly.

"Don't cook. I'll teach you a new dish to try! Go and scoop up three bowls. Let's pick out the unwanted beans and soak them in water. We'll do it tomorrow and have omelets tonight. " Li Changfeng's cooking is getting better and better under Xu Qing's guidance these days.

The material selection of tofu is also very important. After Li Changfeng sifted out the impurities such as sundries, inferior beans, vegetation and sand, he began to soak beans, that is, soak soybeans in water to remove the impurities floating on the water surface. The amount of water is subject to soaking soybeans.

"In the process of soaking, prevent the water quality of soaked beans from becoming sour and rancid, which will affect the quality. The soaking time varies according to the temperature, generally two to three hours in summer; Winter is four to six hours. When Xu Qing watched Li Changfeng add water to the beans, he said the procedure and pointed out the water level of the other party.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Qing asked Li Changfeng to grind his soaked soybeans with a stone mill. According to Xu Qing, Li Changfeng added soybeans while adding water to grind them into soymilk paste. "You should remember that when grinding milk, add beans and water evenly, which is consistent with the speed of your stone mill, so as to grind delicate and tender soymilk".

Li Changfeng did it seriously for fear that he would miss a little of the steps Xu Qing said. He did it meticulously. After grinding into soybean milk, he had to filter it. Xu Qing found a piece of cloth with sparse wire mesh and asked Li Changfeng to filter it. Add the ground soybean milk paste into warm water, mix it evenly, put it into the cloth bag, lift the cloth bag, shake it by hand, wait for the slurry to flow out, and repeat the operation several times until the slurry is drained.

Looking at the white pulp water in the basin and smelling the peculiar beany smell of soybean milk in the air, Xu Qing was very satisfied, so that the original soybeans would make great tofu.

Finally, soybean milk soybean paste is put into the pot by Li Changfeng. After the fire is heated, the pot is boiled and the soybean milk is broken. The soybean milk is cooked when the fire is removed.

Xu Qing deliberately scooped out two bowls of hot soybean milk, added sugar to the bowl, stirred it until it melted, and handed a bowl to Li Changfeng, "come on, have a taste."

Li Changfeng took the bowl, blew the hot air on the face, and a special smell came from the tip of his nose. He took a sip first, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't care about the hot. He drank the bowl clean in a few big bites!

"How's it going?"

Xu Qing asked Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng nodded, directly scooped a bowl of sugar in the pot again, and then prepared to scoop out all the soybean milk in the pot.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Xu Qing hurriedly stopped Li Changfeng's action, "what's the matter?" Li Changfeng stopped and didn't understand“ This is just a snack. This big pot is not just for drinking. Come on, listen to me. "

The soymilk is so delicious. There are other things. Li Changfeng is full of expectation. He also listens to Xu Qing's words and pours the soymilk just scooped in the bowl, leaving only the bowl in which he just put sugar.

If you want to make tofu, you have to have some pulp. Scoop the boiled soybean milk out of the pot and cool it slightly. When the temperature drops, you can order the milk. When ordering milk, stir the soybean milk forward with a small spoon and slowly add salt brine. When the soybean milk sticks to the spoon, the stirring slows down and the speed of adding salt brine slows down accordingly. When the soybean milk has bean curd particles the size of a fingernail, stop stirring, cover the pot and keep it for about a quarter of an hour.

During this time, Xu Qing asked Li Changfeng to wash the wooden lattice specially made this morning and put it aside. As soon as the time came, Li Changfeng poured the tofu brain in the pot into the wooden lattice covered with cotton cloth, wrapped it, squeezed it with heavy objects and squeezed out the water. Generally, it can't be pressed too dry. It's not tofu, but dried tofu.

After half a ring, Li Changfeng opened the cotton cloth and presented the white and tender tofu in front of him. Xu Qing broke a piece and put it in his mouth, "well, that's the taste!" And it tastes better than modern!

"Try it, too, and we'll make it." Xu Qing was in a good mood and asked Li Changfeng to try the taste. Li Changfeng carefully took a small piece and tried it. His eyebrows were a little wrinkled.

"Don't like it?"

Xu Qing remembered that Li Changfeng's taste was heavy. The tofu that came out was light, and it was normal to dislike it.

Li Changfeng couldn't say whether he liked it or not. "I just think the taste is strange. I can't say it."

"It doesn't matter. We can make the taste you like." Xu Qing broke another piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Well, it's delicious.

Because he was afraid that Li Changfeng had no experience in doing it for the first time, Xu Qing did it himself. Li Changfeng started. What he wanted to do was spicy tofu!

Thinking of xie'amu and their taste of fresh food, Xu Qing took several large pieces of tofu, cut the tofu into pieces and blanch it for standby, cut a small dish similar to pepper and garlic into small pieces, mix the sweet potato powder sent by xie'amu, cut a small piece of meat taken by Li Changfeng from the well into minced meat, put in a spoonful of wine and a spoonful of salt and marinate it for a quarter of an hour, Let Li Changfeng burn a fire.

When the pot was hot, Xu Qing put oil into the pot to heat it, then put the small dishes and garlic into the pot to fry until fragrant, and then put the pickled minced meat into the pot to stir fry. After the smell came out, Xu Qing poured the prepared sweet potato powder into the pot, stir fry it, pour appropriate water into it, boil it over high fire, and then put the cut tofu into the pot, gently stir fry it several times, and then scoop it into a bowl, Sprinkle with scallions and two bowls of nice and smelly spicy tofu.

"You send this bowl to xie'a's family. I'll cook another soup. You can eat when you come back." Xu Qing put the bowl of spicy tofu given to Xie Amy in a basket, covered it with a clean cloth and asked Li Changfeng to send it to them.

Li Changfeng quickly washed the pot, burned the fire, and prepared Xu Qing's eggs for soup before he walked to the village with a basket.

Xie amu is cooking with Uncle Xie. Even at this time, Xie amu's eyebrows are full of sadness, "what do you think this is! If it hadn't been for the Ma family, our brother wouldn't have been like this! "
