Chapter 201: Wife’s Tofu
The soaked soybeans, under the pressure of the stone mill, turned into a milky white slurry, accompanied by a gentle hissing sound and a froth of white bubbles that resembled fluffy clouds.
“Daddy, what’s this?”
Taking advantage of Lin Heng and Xiulan’s momentary distraction, little Xiao Xia mischievously scooped up a handful of the white foam, playing with it curiously.
“This is something delicious. Once it’s ready, you can have some,” Lin Heng replied, picking her up and moving her to a safer distance.
In Lin Heng’s arms, Xiao Xia playfully smeared some foam on his face. Lin Heng, with a resigned smile, patted her little cheek and said, “Stay here like a good girl, and soon you’ll have something tasty to eat.”
Xiao Xia obediently played with the foam in her hands without causing further trouble. Before long, Lin Heng and Xiulan had finished grinding the soybeans.
Fifty pounds of soybeans yielded five buckets of coarse slurry. After cleaning the stone mill’s remnants, Lin Heng smiled at his mother and said, “How about it, Mom? Isn’t this much faster than doing it by hand?”
Mother Lin lifted her chin slightly and replied, “Beans ground by hand taste better than those ground by a cow.”
