She Only Cares About Cultivation

So, just accept calmly, there’s no need to be so nervous.

Generally, tofu shops have tofu skin to sell, tofu skin is the layer that forms on the surface of soy milk, picked up and dried, it becomes tofu skin. Real tofu skin tastes exceptionally good, not like those in later generations that are so fake, or soaked in chemical materials, with a weird and salty taste.

"When boiling soy milk, someone must be present, always paying attention to avoid burning, but it also must be boiled thoroughly."

"So the two big jars sister brought are meant to ladle the boiled soy milk into for cooling, right?"

An Yi nodded while saying, "Cool to a certain temperature, can’t be too low, like it is now."

An Yi taught seriously, and the sisters learned seriously beside her. For instance, they had no clue what salt brine was, even though An Yi explained it once, they still didn’t understand, but hearing it could be extracted from brine, they found it even more amazing.

And the water that flows out when pressing tofu turned out to be brine, keeping it can be used to process tofu, which makes the tofu more fragrant.

Tofu also has high water quality requirements, for instance, tofu made using spring water will be smoother and has a stronger bean aroma, but the groundwater here is also quite good, without spring water, replacing it with groundwater works well too!

An Yi wasn’t aware of the local situation either: "Is there anyone making tofu nearby? What’s the usual price, do you know?"

"If exchanged with beans, an incoming jin of beans would be exchanged for one and a half jin of firm tofu, some places might give up to two jin,"

An Yi nodded upon hearing this, "This is determined by the master’s skills then, what about selling for money? What’s reasonable?"

The price of tofu has always been linked with soybeans, and being the main production area of soybeans in the three northeastern provinces, the soybean price here has always been stable.

Soon, farms, plains, and black soil in various places here will be reclaimed, this is the initial stage of Beidahuang’s reclamation, Nenjiang Plain, Sanjiang Plain will cultivate soybeans, sorghum, corn, and rice as the main crops, while her place is just a small village and naturally won’t witness such scenes.

As now is the regiment’s formation period, all are patriotic youths, dedicating themselves as soldiers, in four or five years, the commune should be established too. Actually, the primary agricultural production cooperative has already been established, but this is different from collective life a few years later, at least it is healthy. Forced joining, infringing on middle farmers’ rights, blindly pursuing advanced forms only happened in certain places.

Thinking about this, An Yi couldn’t help but sigh, thinking carefully, it would truly be better not to make a fuss over these years, but in such chaos, what household registration should be relied upon?

Without waiting for the two to state the price, she said, "Don’t want money, just exchange for grains."

What money to exchange for? A heap of inflationary tickets are useless, better to be more pragmatic with grains.

In response to this, the sisters didn’t oppose, but rather agreed, and after a day of messing around with them, An Yi decided.

"From now on, we’ll soak ten jin of beans daily, if thirty jin can be produced, then sell thirty jin, not more, just enough for daily grains, that’s all,"

The cow in her space still isn’t being brought out, the more she thinks, the more she feels it’s dangerous, having just repaired the house, buying another cow would only bring trouble?

These people just don’t know her background, if investigated, it would be trouble. The deeper she thinks, the more she feels danger, simply staying low-key.

Every day twenty to thirty jin, or over thirty jin of tofu, how not exchange one-third of corn grains (rice sorghum)?

Li Qiuxia shook her head, "Can’t exchange, three jin of grains, ten jin of potatoes or sweet potatoes are possible instead."

An Yi calculated, "Though hard work, it’s better than having nothing, just consider it as earning grains by labor."

Three jin of grains in one day, a month is a hundred jin, though shelled, it’s truly better than farming.

The three of them can calculate this account, after the calculation, they were full of confidence, only she thought they were easy to satisfy, as she originally estimated ten jin!

Ended up discovering, only three jin, still shelled, but if it can be supplemented with some potatoes and sweet potatoes, it’s acceptable.

Starting now until before the heavy snow arrives, should be able to save some winter grains, if not enough, she would supplement a bit more.

The calf was eventually not released, even the pigs not fed, making tofu results in bean dregs, every day, thirty jin of bean dregs come out, the three certainly can’t finish it, eating it every day, who wouldn’t get bored?

"How about we ask people in the village, if they want it? If they do, exchange for some potatoes and sweet potatoes?"

This proposal was directly denied by An Yi: "No need, just give it to me, I have use for it."

She has no use, she just doesn’t want to deal with those gossipers, rather store it in space to feed chickens and cows.

Of course, she’ll compensate the sisters with some sweet potatoes and potatoes, since she works less, mostly just babbling, never considering this to be for herself, only helping out, since it’s the sisters’ business, she has no right to take bean dregs without paying, until the sisters said.

"If you insist on compensating, we won’t eat one pot with you anymore, which isn’t appropriate?"
