Survival of Prehistoric Widows [Farming] - Chapter 25

With the filter and the straw mat, it is only the last thing to make tofu.

Salt brine.

Tofu is essentially the use of electrolytes to stimulate the coagulation reaction of colloids, so that the soy milk is condensed into tofu.

Bittern or gypsum can be used to make tofu. Gypsum is not easy to find, but bittern Luren is a bit of an idea.

The coarse salt that Liehe had previously exchanged for a nearby tribe had a bitter taste, much worse than the salt that had been exchanged for the Heihe tribe in the past. It’s just that there is no better choice. People from the Redwood tribe can only pinch their noses and eat the bitter salt.

After burning out the pottery, Lu Lin tried to refine the coarse salt by himself, using a simple decoction and steaming method to extract a somewhat more refined salt, and the remaining part was brine.

The cost-effectiveness of coarse salt purification is actually very low. Lu Wei knew that the beasts would not be willing to waste time and energy just to get rid of the bitter taste in the salt… What salt is not to eat?

Only he is from modern society, trying his best to make himself eat more comfortable.

After considering making soy milk, Lu Ling asked Yong Helie for help before, and he reluctantly made a simple stone mill and placed it outside the tent, pushing the soy beans into soy milk by himself.

The physique of the Asian beast is much weaker than that of the orcs, but after Lu Wei crossed over, regular farming exercises every day made him a lot stronger than before, and it was more than enough to push a millstone.

Mi Mi didn’t understand it a little bit on the side. After walking around Lu Ling and Mopan a few times, “Mimi” yelled twice.

It’s not that it doesn’t understand what Lu Yan is doing. Judging from past experience, the inexplicable things that this Asian beast did were very useful in the end.

Mi just didn’t understand why Lu Yan didn’t find an orc to do the hard work of grinding beans.

——Obviously pushing such a heavy stone, sweat came out on my forehead…

Xiao Mi just made up her mind a while ago to wait until her **** hair grows well before trying to turn back into an orc. Now that Lu Yan has worked so hard, her heart is a little shaken.

Because the stone grinder is very rough, Lu Ren pushed it several times before grinding the soybeans into suitable soy milk.

After filtering two or three times with a straw mat made by Duo Yu, the filtered bean dregs are piled aside. These bean dregs are all natural and affordable fertilizers, and they can all be sown in the vegetable garden later.

The soy milk is boiled in a clay pot, poured into a clay pot with a straw mat, and after a while, it is slowly stirred while dripping the homemade bittern, and soon flocculent solids slowly appear in the thick white soy milk. The calabash scoop is used to stir more and more and thicker; and the soy milk gradually becomes clear and transparent from the milky white at the beginning.

Xiao Mi’s eyes widened as she looked aside.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lu Ling stopped agitating. After a while, he lifted the two corners of the straw mat and slowly squeezed the beancurd toward the middle, trying to keep the beancurd from scattered, and finally wrapped the whole unformed tofu with the straw mat. Get up and squeeze out the moisture again.

I would also like to thank Duo Yu for the straw mat. Although it is not as soft as gauze, it is not as hard as the straw mat. Lu Yan can still use his strength to form a ball together with the wrapped tofu.

Lifting the rounded tofu out, placing it on a clean slab, and pressing a stone on it, Lu Ling looked at Xiao Mi who was curiously wandering around with only half-clear hot water, and smiled and asked, “Xiao Do you want tofu?”

Mi didn’t understand tofu, but she knew how to “eat”, and her ears suddenly became ridged.

Seeing Mi’s pupils suddenly brightened, Lu Yan couldn’t help but laugh again. Since his hands were full of water, he didn’t touch Mi’s hair: “You can eat later.”

When the tofu had condensed into a solid under the weight of the rocks, Lu Ling unwrapped the straw mat, revealing the steamy white tofu inside.

The first tofu in the world was born in this simple little tent.

Lu Er was very satisfied, took a bone knife and cut a small piece and tasted it directly. The freshly made hot tofu is delicious, with a soft taste and can be swallowed simply by chewing. The aroma of the beans is filled in the mouth, and the umami has not yet dissipated with the temperature. It is a pleasure to eat without mouth.

Xiao Mi looked anxiously on the side, and then resorted to coquettish Dafa, leaning against Lu Erguang’s bare calf, and eagerly watching Lu Er, waiting for the Asian beast to take a bite.

Lu Ye firmly believes that Ms. Mi’s tongue is afraid of heat, so she must let the tofu cool before giving it to Ms. Ms. Mi watched as Lu Ling blew the fragrant and tender food until there was no heat, then rushed on to bite. .

——Woo, delicious!

The delicacy of tofu completely exceeded Xiao Mi’s expectations. It’s hard to imagine that this kind of fresh and tender food is actually made from those round soybean seeds!

It used to not like to eat those vegetarian foods that were tasteless and tasteless, and it was not until the last time that they tasted Luer’s salted soy beans, that the seeds of this plant tasted good for the first time.

But it was just “not bad” at that time, and it wasn’t enough to make it so excited.

After eating this piece of tofu, Xiao Mi actually felt a feeling of fullness from her abdomen.

——This “tofu” can fill your stomach?

Xiao Mi licked her paws after eating the tofu that Lu Lin had given him, combed her beard a little, and watched Lu Er’s eyes become more cautious.

——Where did this Asian beast come from, and how could he understand so many magical things?

Lu Ling lowered his head, met Mi’s gaze, misunderstood Mi’s meaning, and cut another piece of tofu: “Do you want more?”

Xiao Mi immediately threw away the question in her head and shook her tail: “Mi!”

…

After successfully making tofu, Lu Li assuredly promoted the soybeans.

When the cultivation of soybeans was successful at first, because there were no suitable cooking utensils in the tribe, even if this kind of food that required special utensils was grown, it was inconvenient for the orcs to eat. Therefore, Lu Ling, who always pursued safety, did not promote it.

After the pottery was successfully burned and the cooking of food had a way to improve, Lu Lin began to introduce the methods of growing soybeans to the beasts.

Nowadays, many people in the tribe are very convinced that Lu Er, who has produced improved cabbage, anti-inflammatory ginger, and pottery, immediately planted the beans in their small vegetable garden.

There are also some people who are dismissive of soybeans, thinking that planting these seeds is useless and can’t fill their stomachs-it’s not as good as a variety of white root vegetables!

Lu Ren didn’t force it, but took out the tofu.

Planting beans, soy straw can be turned into the ground to make fertilizer, soy beans are used to make tofu, and the remaining soybean water and bean dregs are also natural fertilizers. Maintain a stable planting cycle and assist with plant ash and manure. The soil quality of the field will continue to change. Quickly upgrade, and finally become a fertile soil.

In addition, in order to make some tofu bittern, the coarse salt in the tribe can also be purified to make it safer.

There are actually a lot of harmful substances in bittern. A little bit of tofu does not cause much harm to the human body, but eating coarse salt every day without purification will be very bad for human organs over time.

At this time, it has been almost two months since Lu Ling proposed the concept of planting, and the climate is already very warm. Whether it is hunting of the orcs or the gathering of the sub-beasts, the harvest is gradually enriching, and the Hongmu tribe is the most pleasant year Time of year.

The relatively abundant food made the orcs and the Asian beasts more capable of accepting new things. After tasting the hot tofu made by Lu Er, they were impressed by this kind of food they had never tasted before, and immediately accepted Lu Er’s soy bean cultivation. It is recommended to go back and open up the land to grow soybeans.

The seeds and planting methods of soybeans were not given away for free by Lu Er-he was not reluctant to bear this seed, but his previous life experience told him that the things given away for free are often not cherished too much, and paying a little price to exchange is the most for both parties. Perfect state.

Lu Lin asked the orcs to make a fence for his little vegetable garden.

Now that the climate has entered the end of spring, there are more wild animals, and little guys destroying crops have appeared in Lu’s small vegetable garden.

Although the fluffy little animals are very cute, the little animals that can damage the experimental plants that Luer used for breeding and observation are not cute.

This little manual labor is not worth mentioning to the sturdy orcs. According to Lu Er’s request, he dug a ditch around Lu Er’s small vegetable garden, and inserted the tree saplings from the outside to fill it in again. Then wrap it up with straw ropes to ensure that it is stable and will not be swept over by any animals.

This was the first time that the orcs in the tribe came to Lu Er’s test field.

After several months of continuous expansion of Lu Er’s first few small soil ridges, the area has increased dozens of times, and they were all cultivated by Lu Er by himself.

Different crops are separated from each other to avoid influence. The same crops are neatly arranged. Each soil ridge is as straight as rows of green plants that have been specially measured. The tender red berries are looming under the dark green branches and leaves. The orcs are unspeakably beautiful.

The orcs looked at each other, and they all saw their surprise in the eyes of their partners, thinking of their own vegetable garden one by one in their hearts, spontaneously feeling ashamed and filthy.

——They saw more plants when hunting in the wild. Why do the plants in Green Ears look so…good?

——Is this also the power of witch doctors?

If Lu Yan knew what they were thinking, he would tell them seriously: No, this is the power of labor.

There were many orcs and sub-beasts who wanted to grow soybeans, and a fence was quickly erected, leaving only a gap for Lu Yi to enter and exit.

“What are we going to do here, Green Ear?” an orc asked curiously.

If this is not blocked, there should be beasts entering from here, right? But if it is blocked, what about a weak sub-beast with green ears?

“Make a door.” Lu Ling pointed to the remaining branches and straw ropes from the fence, “I can’t help you please.”

Tie the branches into a simple wooden door. Lu Ling asked an orc in the shape of a woodpecker to help drill a few hollow wooden circles to make a simple door shaft. After pulling it for a try, he turned around satisfactorily and saw his back. The surprised eyes of the orcs.

At this time, Lu Wei remembered that there is no concept of “door” in the Redwood tribe. Everyone is sleeping in tents. The animal skin curtain is the door. When going out during the day, the original lock made of bones will be finished.

There are even many single orcs whose door locks don’t hang, anyway, the family members are not afraid of anything.

This made Lu Yan suddenly have a little idea about building a house.

Although the animal-skin tent is convenient, the conditions are not very good. The lighting and ventilation are very poor. Even the most primitive earthen house when Lu Er went to the countryside to survey the countryside was better than this animal-skin tent.

However, the orc tribes in this era are semi-mobile, and they will relocate due to various natural reasons after a while. It may be unrealistic to consider building houses now.

As soon as Lu Er’s thoughts turned, he let it go, and turned his head to smile at the orcs who were waiting for his next order: “Thanks for your hard work, everyone, I invite you to eat tofu.”
