Chapter 375 5 Spiritual Roots Little Waste 55

With the free labor, Su Ziyu soaked the beans the night before.

The next morning, Li Si came to the house with a look of despair on his face. However, when he saw nearly two hundred kilograms of beans piled up in the corner of the Su family's kitchen, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up, "So many?"

Su Ziyu raised his hand and coughed, then pointed to the kitchen stove opposite, "This way."

There were about forty or fifty kilograms of beans soaked in water on the stove.

Although it was still more than I expected, compared with the 200 kilograms that I had mistakenly thought of, the 40 or 50 kilograms was much more acceptable.

Li Si rubbed his head sheepishly, turned his eyes away and said quickly, "I almost thought that if I ate a few pieces of your meat, I would be treated as a farmhand and abused."

Su Ziyu smiled and said, "I won't ask you to work for nothing. I'll treat you to a meal when you're done."

When Li Si heard the word "eat", his eyes lit up instantly.

It’s not that he is too greedy, but Su Ziyu’s skill in stewing meat is so amazing that he can’t help swallowing his saliva every time he thinks about it.

With food in front of him like a carrot, Li Si's enthusiasm instantly rose. He nodded proudly, "I finished these beans in just one morning."

Su Ziyu still had a smile on his face, "Very good, thank you for troubling Brother Li Si."

Li Si returned with a large bucket of beans. Su Ziyu was not idle either. He and his sister went to the river to catch some fish. They sold five or six and kept three, intending to cook them together with the tofu when it was ready.

When I was almost at the door, I saw a person squatting at the door.

Probably hearing their footsteps, the man looked up. It was Li Si, who had been assigned to grind beans that morning. He stood up quickly and started complaining, "No, why are you back so late?"

Su Ziyu looked at the two large buckets of soy milk placed beside Li Si's legs, then looked up at the sky. It seemed to be just after ten o'clock.

Li Si is faster than a donkey! !

Su Yaoyao sensed the impatience in Li Si's tone and subconsciously hid behind Su Ziyu. Su Ziyu raised his hand and touched his sister's hair, "Yaoyao, don't be afraid. This uncle is here to bring us soy milk."

Li Si, who just turned 15 this year: ...

No, he is not that old!!!

But seeing the little girl's fearful look, Li Si felt a little uncomfortable. He wanted to explain but he was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Su Ziyu came to smooth things over, "Brother Li Si, please help move the soy milk in!"

Li Si nodded quickly, picked up two buckets and followed the brother and sister into the yard.

Su Ziyu was eager to make the tofu, so he lit the stove, boiled the raw soy milk in a pot, then filtered it into three large bowls, added some sugar, and asked Li Si to take it out and drink it with his sister.

For the following time, I quietly stayed in the kitchen and worked hard.

When the sun rose high in the sky and everyone at home had started eating, there was still no movement in the kitchen and no smell of food, so Li Si became a little restless.

He had worked so hard at the millstone in the morning to get Su Ziyu to invite him to dinner. Now he was so hungry that he was seeing stars. He didn't care about being reserved and knocked on the door to urge Su Ziyu to come.

"Su kid, we agreed to treat everyone to a meal, what time do you plan to eat?"

"almost."

After this sound was heard in the room, there was no more movement.

Li Si sat in the yard, scooping up water to drink, trying to fill himself up. He turned around and saw Yaoyao sitting obediently on a chair. He waved the ladle in front of her and said, "Yaoyao, do you want to drink?"

Su Yaoyao was no longer afraid of him now. She slowly shifted her gaze from the kitchen door to him and shook her head slowly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Su Yaoyao suddenly seemed to move. She ran to the kitchen door quickly and shouted happily, "Brother."

Seeing that Su Ziyu finally came out, Li Si put down his ladle and quickly followed him. He stood at the kitchen door and stretched his neck to look at the stove behind Su Ziyu, wanting to know what kind of delicious food he was preparing.

In the end, I didn't see any delicious food, but only a pile of square white blocks.

Li Si looked puzzled. "What is this?"

Su Ziyu touched his sister's hair and introduced it to the two of them: "This is tofu."

Su Yaoyao blinked, "Brother, is the tofu delicious?"

Li Si's dream of eating braised pork was shattered. He was so hungry that he was not in a good mood. He casually agreed, "That will definitely not taste as good as meat."

"That's not necessarily true. Tofu, when cooked, tastes just as good as meat."

As soon as he said this, the two foodies instantly became energetic and stared at Su Ziyu eagerly. Su Ziyu couldn't stand being stared at, so he simply made a dish of tofu with green onions for them.

"Look how greedy you two are. Have a couple of bites first. I'll make lunch."

Li Si and Su Yaoyao were driven out of the kitchen and sat in the yard, holding their bowls and starting to eat.

Li Si didn't think much of the tofu at first, as he was still thinking about the braised pork. However, he didn't say a word after taking a bite.

Wuhu, this is tofu!!

This tofu is fresh and refreshing, soft and tender, so delicious!!

Li Si and Su Yaoyao finished eating almost at the same time. When they looked at each other, they could see the two words in each other's eyes - "delicious."

Li Si now really believed what Su Ziyu said and began to secretly look forward to the next lunch.

They didn't have to wait long and lunch was soon served.

Crucian carp and tofu soup, braised fish slices, mapo tofu, and tofu with green onions, three dishes and one soup, all served in basins as big as washbasins.

When the four pots and baskets were placed on the table, Li Si was stunned.

He was wrong, and he would never say Su Ziyu was stingy again.

The amount of food on the table alone is more than enough for their family of eight.

Li Si suddenly became a little embarrassed. "Su boy, you are such a down-to-earth person. But you don't have to make so much just to entertain me. It's hot in the summer, and it would be a shame if we couldn't finish it and it went bad."

Su Ziyu picked up some fish for Yaoyao and smiled, inviting him to eat as much as he wanted. "Don't worry, Brother Li Si, I didn't think about you in particular. I was mainly worried that my Yaoyao wouldn't have enough to eat."

Li Si initially thought that he was just being polite, but when he almost put down his chopsticks, Su Yaoyao was still eating, and he was completely shocked.

No wonder the four members of the Su family were poorer than his family of eight. It turned out that they were all poor because of eating themselves to death.

This isn't raising a daughter, it's raising a glutton! !

Li Si wanted to say something, but seeing that Su Ziyu, as a brother, didn't care and even looked happy that his sister ate a lot, he was full of admiration for Su Ziyu.

Su Yaoyao particularly liked the Mapo Tofu, which was delicious when mixed with rice. "Brother, the tofu is so delicious."

Su Ziyu smiled and told her to eat slowly, "As long as it tastes good, that's fine. Ask your Uncle Li to continue grinding the beans and I'll make it for you again."

Li Si:!!!

No, tofu is made from beans?

That’s right, tofu, of course, cannot be separated from beans.

Li Si still found it incredible. The tofu didn't have any bean smell at all. It was actually made of humble soybeans. It was like a magic trick.

He was curious about how tofu was made, but he knew he couldn't ask. Su Ziyu would never pass on the secret recipe, so he could only suppress his curiosity.
