Chapter 141 Chinese Women Never Give Up
"Aunt Xiulan"
"Aunt Xiulan"
Several people followed Xie Yao and greeted Xie Yao's mother as soon as they saw her. Xie's mother was feeling bored. There was no one in the queue to talk to. Finally, there was someone she had a good relationship with, but the person was too busy to talk to her.
As soon as she saw the two little girls she liked coming, Xie's mother went over and grabbed one in each hand.
He ordered Xie Yao to put the bench down quickly.
You must put one on her left and one on her right!
Xie Yao quickly pulled his mother over and said, "Don't worry about it yet. Wait for someone to go and see how to grind tofu. Can't you see that they are very curious!"
It was the first time that Shen Lu saw a pure old-fashioned stone mill. It was a little over one meter high. There was a big stone at the bottom and two thick stone slabs on top. The bottom stone slab was a big millstone. The outermost circle was a groove and there was another thick layer of millstone on top. There was a hole on the side close to the body, through which the soybeans were put in.
Aunt Guihua was pushing the millstone. The ones Shen Lu had seen before were all turned by hand, but this one was different. A hemp rope was used to wrap around a wooden stick and a short wooden stake on the millstone. The end of the hemp rope close to it was resting on the upper millstone, and the other end was placed across the waist. It could be pushed forward by hand or by using the waist.
As Aunt Guihua slowly pushed forward, she had to add two spoonfuls of water for every spoonful of beans. When the beans were ground into the grooves, they were already a rough semi-liquid and flowed along the grooves into the bucket below.
Shen Lu and her friends were curious about what was happening, so they stood further away and formed a circle. Aunt Guihua enthusiastically invited them to come over and try it out. Jiang Wenjing and Qian Yu went over and followed the circle while listening to the explanation.
After going around twice, Jiang Wenjing wanted to give it a try. She wanted to learn it quickly while the easy-to-talk Aunt Guihua was here, otherwise she would miss the opportunity tomorrow.
Shen Lu and Xu Shiqing were not in a hurry, because Xie's mother would have beans for them soon, and they could grind their own beans if they wanted.
Even if you are a donkey pushing a mill, you have to push your own soybeans!
Good things should be kept within the family, so save your energy for later use!
Jiang Wenjing found out that pushing it was not as easy as it looked after she tried it. She pushed it forward with her hands, and after pushing it two rounds she was so tired that she was gasping for breath.
There was no way to do this. Aunt Guihua smiled and told Jiang Wenjing the key points: put the center of gravity of the stick on the stomach, and use the strength of the abdomen to push it forward. If you push it like this for a while, your hands will shake.
Jiang Wenjing obediently tried it again, and it was indeed better than before. She did not have enough strength in her hands when she pushed it down just now.
Aunt Guihua’s family didn’t make much, and there’s still some time before the Chinese New Year. If you want to eat it, you can make it again when the weather is good.
Jiang Wenjing and Qian Yu were resting on the side. Jiang Wenjing was fine after the busy farming season. After more than ten rounds, apart from some discomfort in her hands due to improper use of force the first time, there was nothing wrong with her.
Qian Yu felt a little exhausted. This job really required skills. She was a bit clumsy. Jiang Wenjing explained a lot to her, but in the end it was Aunt Guihua who helped her find the feeling.
After Aunt Guihua left, the two of them sat there obediently to rest, waiting for the next person to finish grinding. Finally, it was Xie's mother's turn. Shen Lu and Xu Shiqing looked at each other.
The battle has begun!
The two of them watched for a long time and thought they had grasped the key points. They just went up and turned around in circles to let these people see their strength.
Su Chen saw that there was no way to stop their momentum. These two were just like stubborn donkeys that wanted to get out of the circle. Anyone who dared to say more would be hit by a stick.
"Xu Zhiqing, your foot has just healed, can you turn around for a while? If you feel bad about it, I can turn around, too."
Xu Shiqing was eager to fight and become famous, but Su Chen's behavior of secretly venting her anger behind her made her very angry!
Who are you looking down on? Chinese women never admit defeat!!
