Chapter 146 I’m Not Stupid!
As time went by, an enticing aroma gradually wafted out of the pot.
It is a mixture of the freshness of chicken, the fragrance of Hericium erinaceus and the unique sweetness of Lingquan.
Through the holes in the casserole, you can see the soup tumbling slightly in the pot, with the chicken and Hericium erinaceus trembling gently in the soup.
Jian Yue came over from time to time to check on it and stirred it gently with a spoon.
The whole house was filled with this rich aroma.
"Dinner is ready!" Jian Yue announced with a smile.
Jiang Zeyuan put down his axe and washed his face before going back.
After taking a sip of the soup, he said, "This tastes really delicious!"
Jian Yue also happily scooped a large bowl of soup for herself.
I took a sip of the delicious soup and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Hmm~”
This is the best soup I have ever tasted, no doubt about it.
Maybe it’s because of the good ingredients, or maybe it’s the blessing of the spiritual spring!
The two of them emptied the pot of soup and ingredients.
"Wife, be careful when you go picking mushrooms!" Jiang Zeyuan couldn't help but nag a little more.
This little girl can even catch a pheasant.
It seems that she is quite capable, but I am still worried about her bold behavior.
But, this daughter-in-law cannot be criticized.
I have so much pain that I can’t express it in words!
"Well, don't worry! I will be very careful." Jian Yue responded while touching her slightly swollen belly.
After dinner, Jiang Zeyuan was packing up.
Jian Yue stood at the door, looking at the sunset in the sky and chatting with him.
"Zeyuan, I'll go to the cafeteria tomorrow to grind beans and make some tofu."
Jiang Zeyuan stopped what he was doing and immediately said, "I'll go with you when I get back tomorrow at noon."
Jian Yue thought about it and didn't refuse. It was indeed quite difficult.
Jiang Zeyuan is the most suitable person to grind that thing.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back tomorrow." He replied with a smile.
This time, I can make more and make enough to last for a long time.
The night breeze blows gently, bringing a little coolness.
Jian Yue folded her hands over her chest and continued, "The tofu is ready. Send some to Aunt Wu and Jiang Wenwen."
The two chatted incessantly.
At noon the next day, Jiang Zeyuan walked towards the cafeteria with steady steps, carrying thirty kilograms of beans in one hand and a large wooden barrel in the other.
Jian Yue followed with nothing in her hands, relaxed and at ease.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Jian Yue's little mouth was as sweet as honey as she greeted the cafeteria chef sweetly.
"Master Liu, I am sorry to bother you again!" The old master smiled and waved his hands, "No trouble, no trouble, the young couple, hurry up and get busy!"
Then, the drama of grinding beans began.
Jiang Zeyuan carefully placed the beans into the millstone.
Just as he grasped the handle of the grinding mill with both hands and hadn't put any force on it, Jian Yue started shouting beside him.
"Oh, Captain Fang, judging from your posture, are you planning to use this millstone as a spinning top?"
Jiang Zeyuan was almost laughing to death because of her. He retorted with all his strength, "You are such a heartless person. You only know how to make fun of your husband. Why don't you try it yourself? This job is not easy!"
Jian Yue blinked her eyes and made a face, "No, I won't. This hard work depends on you, the great hero!"
Why should I do it myself when my husband is around?
I'm not stupid!
After a while, beads of sweat on Jiang Zeyuan's forehead were like rain.
Jian Yue quickly took out a towel and gently wiped him, and deliberately said in a coquettish voice: "Oh, my great hero, are you exhausted?"
Jiang Zeyuan took the opportunity to grab her hand and pretended to be pitiful, "Wife, my bones are about to fall apart, please hug me and give me some strength."
Jian Yue flirted and shook off his hand, scolding him with a smile, "Don't try that on me, in public."
With Jiang Zeyuan as his ox and horse, it didn't take long for all the thirty kilograms of beans to be ground!
After cleaning the stone mill, the two of them took the finished product home with great interest.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the cafeteria, they heard many familiar comrades joking, "Hey, isn't that the battalion commander and his sister-in-law?"
"Battalion Commander, sister-in-law, you just finished grinding the beans and are ready to go back and make something delicious?" a young soldier shouted with a smile.
Although Jian Yue was a little shy, she still greeted them openly, "Yes, I'll go back and make tofu."
Another soldier winked and said, "Sister-in-law, the battalion commander is so lucky to have married such a capable and beautiful daughter-in-law like you."
Jiang Zeyuan laughed heartily, "You guys only know how to talk nonsense. Train well and stop thinking about things all day long."
"Captain, don't be so modest. We are all envious of you!"
......
Everyone was talking and laughing.
Jiang Zeyuan still had to go to the army in the afternoon, so Jian Yue spent the whole afternoon preparing tofu puffs and yuba.
Jian Yue rolled up her sleeves and prepared to get to work.
The ground soy milk was rolling happily in the pot, steaming hot.
After a while, the soy milk was cooked and began to solidify into tofu pudding.
It was still a success. This time she scooped out a large wooden basin of tofu pudding.
I ate salty tofu pudding with Jiang Zeyuan in the evening.
While the tofu is taking shape, I am not idle.
He lifted the oily skin on the surface of the soy milk, his eyes lit up, "This yuba is really good stuff."
Then hang the oil skin on bamboo poles. When the breeze blows, it sways and looks very beautiful.
Next, make the tofu pudding, knead the tofu pudding into round balls and throw them into the hot oil pan.
With a "sizzle", the bean curd puffed up like a balloon, and the whole house was filled with the aroma of frying.
Jian Yue coughed a few times due to the fumes, but she was still smiling from ear to ear.
This is a good thing in this day and age, because deep-frying is a luxury!
She left out two large bowls of tofu pudding and made the rest into tofu soak.
After it was done, I left one bowl out and put it in two oil paper bags, and put the rest in a space to be eaten later.
The aroma from next door was so overbearing that it made Chen Xiaomei look envious.
Aunt Wu couldn't help swallowing.
Little did they know, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Jian Yue packed four blocks of tofu and a paper bag of tofu and ran over.
"Aunt, take these and try them."
Chen Xiaomei and Aunt Wu were stunned at first, then their faces broke into smiles.
Chen Xiaomei waved her hands quickly, "How can this be so embarrassing, Xiaoyue, you are too polite!"
Aunt Wu also said, "That's right, we can't take your things for free."
Jian Yue smiled and stuffed the things into their hands. "Aunts, why are you being so polite to me? We are all neighbors. You have taken care of me a lot on weekdays. This little thing is nothing."
Chen Xiaomei took the tofu and bean curd and said gratefully, "Okay, I won't be so hypocritical with you. I'll bring you something delicious when I make it at home."
"Okay, I'll go back first."
Turning around, Jian Yue put two bags of things in the basket and walked towards Jiang Wenwen's house.
