Chapter 550 No Matter How Loudly the Chest Is Slapped, the Face Is Also as Painful as the Slap

Making tofu is not such a difficult task, of course, that will be in later generations.

For the current Qingque tribe, it is not easy to get tofu out.

Even if there is Han Cheng, who came from a later age and has participated in several tofu making, it would still take a lot of effort to make tofu at this time.

It's not that his half-baked level has dropped again or he's rusty, but that he lacks the tools to make tofu.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, let alone Han Cheng, who is only half-level.

In addition to soybeans, grinding tofu also requires stone mills, slings, brine or gypsum, as well as tofu molds and pots and pans.

There is linen in the tribe, and there is also the well-made linen woven by Bai Xuemei herself. There is no shortage of materials for making slings, and there is also a lack of cloth to wrap the tofu in the mold.

The stone mill can be made slowly with the few pieces of granite brought back by the caravan led by Shang and Mao, as well as the mason's wood with hammer and brazing.

The only thing that is a bit difficult is the brine or gypsum used to order tofu.

Without these two things, the ground beans can only be soy milk, and no matter how hot they are, no matter how much soy milk is ground, it will not cause a qualitative change.

Han Cheng did not find traces of plaster among the many stones brought back by the trade team, that is to say, now he can only focus on the brine.

Bittern also has a name called salt bittern. Just from this name, we can see its origin with salt.

Bittern is an accompaniment to salt and can be obtained from the process of boiling salt.

This is all Han Cheng knows about the origin of brine.

There is still a big gap between knowing this and getting the brine out.

At least the Qingque Tribe has been cooking salt for several years, and they haven't produced any brine yet.

Although most of them are because they didn't make it deliberately, but the bittern is not easy to make, and you can get some from here.

Telling these things to Wu, the senior brother and others, everyone was a little discouraged. How can it be so troublesome to eat tofu?

But then cheered up again,

Because there are professional masons and carpenters in the tribe.

Weaving and needlework, many people's craftsmanship is not bad.

Although the brine mentioned by the Son of God has never been seen before, the Son of God knows where to get it, and according to the wisdom of the Son of God, he will be able to get it out sooner or later.

This kind of food called tofu is so troublesome to make, and the taste is probably even more delicious than what the son of God said...

The loss of several people only lasted for a short time, and they were revived immediately with more energy and anticipation than before.

Han Cheng couldn't help sniffling while watching this scene, he really was a bunch of foodies.

Although there are many tools needed to make tofu, they still need to be the same when making tofu.

After a few people happily decided on a plan to eat tofu, the first thing Han Cheng found was the mason's wood from the Qingque tribe.

It is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to chisel hard stones into regular and easy-to-use stone mills.

Even with a hammer and a drill in hand, it is still not easy to dig it out, not to mention that the wood has never been chiseled by a stone mill before.

Han Cheng found a branch, drew a few circles on the ground, and told the wood what a stone mill was and what its general structure was.

Compared with the lame carpenter, the stonemason's ability to understand wood is much worse. Han Cheng told him about a not too complicated stone mill for a long time.

The carpenter on the other side understood for a while, and the wood finally understood what was going on.

It is to chisel the two stones brought back by the caravan into two identical circles.

Then grind the sides of the two circles and carve grooves respectively.

These grooves are used to increase friction, so that the grains such as beans that have leaked in can be rubbed better.

At the same time, it can also make the ground things flow out better and faster along these grooves.

A hole must be punched in the middle of the two mills to allow them to be better connected together.

The difference is that the hole in the middle of the lower fan is a square, and the hole in the upper fan is smooth and circular.

When the time comes, use hard wood to make a wooden wedge of suitable size with a round bottom and top, and nail it firmly to the lower mill, and then buckle the upper mill, and the upper mill will be fine. You can keep turning in circles.

Of course, the two holes in the middle, where the wooden wedges are installed, do not need to be drilled through.

On the one hand, it is completely unnecessary, because it is enough without opening the stone mill.

On the other hand, not to mention the trouble after getting through, the wooden wedge will be exposed to the outside, which is easy to accelerate weathering and wear.

After these are done, it is necessary to grind the upper fan and make two holes.

A place between the center of the circle and the edge that is offset from the center of the circle.

This hole needs to be pierced by a stone mill, because when the time comes, soybeans and other things that need to be ground will be poured through this hole.

The other one is on the side of the stone mill, basically facing the hole for filling beans across the center of the circle.

It is best to open this hole in a long or square shape, because the wood that is smashed in is not easy to loosen.

When the time comes, an 'L'-shaped piece of wood will be smashed into this hole, but in time, you only need to hold the upper part of the wooden handle with your hand, turn it hard, and the stone mill above it will rotate in circles, and it can be used for grinding something.

Of course, this is just a small mill. If it is a thick and large stone mill, you can only wedge a 'one' shaped tree stick more than half a meter long into it.

This is because the big stone mill is too heavy, people stand there motionless, and can only turn with one arm.

It needs to be pushed by hand, and people follow the grinding circle.

It is more troublesome to express it in words, but in fact, this is really not too much trouble.

The only place with relatively high requirements is the stone ditch on the two sides where the stone mills meet.

Their depth, thickness, and density have a greater impact on the things being ground, and the rest do not need to be too precise.

Mu Mu grimaced at the side, isn't that complicated enough?

But even though he thought so, he didn't hesitate. After understanding the great significance of this thing, Dang even patted his chest and promised that he would make it.

What Han Cheng likes most is the enthusiasm of the people in the tribe, which is reassuring to watch.

However, sometimes it is not possible to do things only with passion, and some things will not be transferred by people's will.

Just like the current wood, no matter how loudly you slap your chest, you can also slap your face as hard as you can.

He just made a promise, and then started working non-stop, when he encountered a problem that troubled him, but he couldn't solve it.
