The millstone was delivered, but there was no donkey at home. Liu Yier chased Tang Ning's ass and scolded Tang Ning for being a loser, Tang Ning turned a deaf ear, until Liu Yier was tired of scolding, Tang Ning poured Liu Yier a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Rest, wait for the little stone to come back." ”

Liu Yier was flattered, holding the teacup and saying cautiously: "Young Master, what are you stimulated?" Why is it so good to the slave today! ”

Tang Ning shook his head with his mouth and said, "Don't say it, don't say it......"

"If you don't say it, you won't say it, and no one will listen to it." Liu Yier pursed her lips and took a sip of tea.

Tang Ning put down the cup and said solemnly: "Sister Yi'er, you must change this problem." ”

Liu Yier said blankly: "What's wrong with me?" ”

"Every time I have something I want to hold onto, you don't ask once. It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I'm going to show a reserved attitude.

It's like a spy of the Great Song Dynasty who was captured by the Liao and Western Xia people. It's good that people are also using all means to torture you, but if others don't tell you, you won't ask.

It's like this every time, and it's hard to get me up and down. ”

Liu Yi'er blinked and said, "Originally, I didn't have that curiosity, besides, everything you did was done in our house, and I would know sooner or later." ”

Tang Ning angrily pointed at Liu Yi'er and said, "Xia worms can't talk about ice!" ”

Liu Yi'er smiled and said, "The young master has won the award!" ”

The two chatted like this, until Little Stone returned home.

Regarding the education of Xiaoshi, Tang Ning talked to him once before. But that time, Xiaoshi didn't give any feedback at all, even if Tang Ning told him seriously: "Whether it is the emperor or the general, the prime minister or the prince, when facing danger, they will instinctively retreat."

It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but some people's willpower is strong enough to suppress instincts.

Instinct is innate and cannot be changed. And human willpower can be cultivated. ”

Xiao Shi still didn't have any feedback, silently accepted this passage, and then lived the same life as usual.

But the plum is more and more heartless, and suddenly it began to grow, some time ago it was still at Tang Ning's waist, and yesterday it was already at Tang Ning's ribs.

It's going to be on Downing's neck.

It's not a matter of going on like this after all, Aunt Niu has already taken Li Zi to teach the difference between men and women, and I haven't seen them for a day today.

As soon as the little stone entered the door, Tang Ning greeted it like a gust of wind. Xiao Shi was taken aback by his startled cheap big brother again, and vigilantly hugged his chest and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Tang Ning pouted and pretended to think for a while, "Little stone, you like to eat meat, right?" ”

Little Stone nodded.

"Then you like fried chicken nuggets, right?"

Little Stone nodded again.

"Then you still like tofu, don't you?"

Little Stone shook his head.

"......" Tang Ning glanced at the little stone, then stood up straight, looked at the little stone condescendingly, and said to the little stone seriously: "Remember, little stone." There's no man who doesn't like tofu, no! Yes!

If you want to be a man who stands up to the sky, you must like to eat tofu, understand? ”

Downing said seriously, but Little Stone felt a strange feeling.

nodded as if he didn't understand, and saw Tang Ning bend down again and put on a smiling appearance: "So, your brother and I got the grinding disc back, and in the future, our family can make tofu and eat it ourselves!" ”

Xiaoshi nodded twice, and then asked, "But what does this have to do with me?" ”

"I'll tell you about this tomorrow. You just have to remember that men have to eat tofu! ”

“……”

………………

"No, no, no, substitution, substitution!"

There is a large grinding disc next to the rockery in the backyard, and there is a milky white liquid flowing out of the middle of the upper and lower layers of stone slabs, flowing down the side wall of the stone slab, flowing into the groove of the bottom stone slab, and then flowing to the gap in the front section of the grinding plate, and finally falling into the copper basin under the grinding disc like a waterfall.

The small stone pushed the mill disc in a circle, and Tang Ning was responsible for adding beans and water to the millstone.

For some reason, Shen Kuo heard that Tang Ning's family was making tofu, so he came with his hands behind his back. At first, he was pointing fingers on the side, but he was yelled at by Tang Ning and stopped talking, standing aside and sneering and waiting for Tang Ning to fail.

Liu Yi'er came once halfway and told Tang Ning that the stone alkali (halogen) had dissolved, and after nodding to indicate that he knew, he would no longer pay attention to Liu Yi'er.

Liu Yier didn't leave, she likes to eat tofu, but she has never seen how tofu is made.

The plum, who was squatting on the ground and staring at the copper plate, finally shouted vividly: "It's full!" Then Tang Ning and Xiaoshi stopped, picked up the pot of creamy soy milk and walked to the kitchen.

Shen Kuo sighed, this kid is wasting food and committing a crime.

After removing the foam on the soy milk, pour the remaining soy milk into the pot and wait until it boils, then turn off the heat and pour in cold water and stir.

Then came the most difficult step, which was the link of ordering brine.

As the saying goes, it's good, tofu brain. The point is not good, yellow syrup. The danger of this can be seen.

Shen Kuo looked excitedly behind his back with his hands behind his back, whether the tofu could be made or not, this was the step to see. The previous steps are just the basics. Only by dotting the pulp here can you see whether a person can make tofu or not.

There are few people selling tofu in Runzhou City, and people like Tang Ning who are preparing fried tofu or even preparing to make dried tofu are naturally in short supply. If not, just go to the street and buy a few servings, and you don't have to work hard to make your own tofu.

Dispensing must be slow and patient. After each spotting, stir in the pan with a spoon for a while.

If the amount is large, it will be ordered several times. So it wasn't until Xiaoshi started to get impatient that the soy milk finally began to thicken, and tofu flowers appeared.

Tang Ning was overjoyed, it seems that he had not worked in a tofu shop in vain. added another spoonful of brine, and under Shen Kuo's surprised gaze, he scooped out the tofu flower one by one and put it into the mold he had prepared a long time ago.

A layer of linen cloth was placed on the mold, and the tofu flower was put into the mold spoonful by spoon until it was full, and Tang Ning covered the linen, tucked it up, and covered the lid of the mold on it, and then instructed Xiaoshi to move a small jar of wine and press it on the top of the mold.

Shen Kuo said distressedly: "The slurry water needs to be collected, and you can use it next time you order tofu." ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said: "The boiled brine has been filled with a jar, when will it be used up, and when will it be collected again." The fist-sized stone alkali asked me for three coins of silver, and I was reluctant to waste it so much. ”

Shen Kuo nodded in understanding, while Li Zi pointed to the mold that was pressed under the wine jar and said, "Brother Ning, you will crush the tofu." ”

Shen Kuo was intrigued when he heard this, he had learned how to make tofu a long time ago, and he had recorded this technique in the book he had written.

However, the question of why pressing tofu does not crush tofu has always been one of the questions that has plagued him.

If you don't put the burlap inside, the tofu will undoubtedly crumble into tofu residue. If you put a burlap cloth in it, the pressed tofu will become lumpy.

When I asked the people who made tofu, I couldn't tell one, two, three. It's just that when my father and mother taught me this skill, that's what I did.

It was really incomprehensible, but after a long time, he forgot about it. Now that Li Zi mentioned it, he thought about this question, and also blinked his eyes and asked Tang Ning: "Little Tang, the old man also wants to know the answer to this question." ”

Tang Ning sneered and said proudly, "You don't know anything about physics. ”

“……”

Then he took Li Zi away, and whispered to Li Zi: "Brother told you secretly, didn't tell that bad old man, and came to my house to eat and drink." ”

“……”

Liu Yi'er saw Tang Ning walking out, so she hurriedly stopped Tang Ning and said, "When will this tofu be eaten!" ”

Tang Ning turned around and responded: "You can come over and watch in half an hour, save some stomach for dinner for a while, and I'll fry some tofu for you to taste in the evening." ”

"Alas, Tang Xiaoyou, Tang Xiaoyou, don't go, explain to the old man what physics is!"
