Chapter 1186: Soy Milk!
Translator: Lonelytree
Ever since Lin Desan knew that Master Wen was actually the Emperor, he had been living in a daze these days.
The Emperor personally went to the fields to harvest?
They even called the Emperor their brother.
Such a fortuitous encounter was simply unimaginable to them.
‘Girl, what do you think… Did Old Master Wen sneak out of the palace this time?” Lin Deshan grabbed Lin Yuelan and asked,” Then, will anyone find out that he sneaked out of the palace? Would he encounter any danger when he returned?” Lin Deshan asked worriedly.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and replied with a smile,” Grandfather, you don’t have to worry. I’ve been communicating with Brother Nan. They’re not in any danger. Even if they occasionally encountered a few assassinations, they were all easily resolved by Big Brother Nan and Wu Ming!’
Lin Deshan immediately said worriedly,” Assassination? Are they really alright?”
Whether it was Yuwen Longyan, Wu Ming, or even Jiang Zhennan, they had long become a family.
Of course, he would be worried about them when he heard about the assassination.
Lin Yuelan smiled and comforted him,” Grandfather, don’t worry. Big Brother
Nan and Big Brother Wu are both martial arts experts. They will protect His Majesty well! I also prepared a bottle of knockout powder for each of them to defend themselves. As long as the bottle cap was opened, everyone within a hundred meters would fall!”
“What? That powerful?” Lin Deshan’s jaw dropped in shock.
“Yes, Grandpa, when have I ever lied to you?” Lin Yuelan nodded.
Doctor Zhang suddenly laughed out loud in excitement.” Haha, good, good. As expected of my grand disciple! Little girl, Jing ‘er would definitely be very happy if he knew.”
At this point, his smile suddenly disappeared, and he said somewhat sadly,” I wonder where Jing ‘er is now?” He was really worried that there had been no news for so long.
Lin Yuelan immediately consoled him,” Grandmaster, don’t worry. I’ve already spread the word to all the Lin Medical Halls that I’m the disciple of the divine doctor Wu Yazi. I believed that I would receive news of my master very soon.”
However, Doctor Zhang was not so optimistic. He nodded gently and said, “Hopefully, you’re right!’
Lin Yuelan didn’t say anything else.
In fact, she already knew where her master was.
It was just that she didn’t know how to tell her grandmaster that her master was actually imprisoned and imprisoned in a very secret place.
Moreover, she now suspected that the people who had invaded Medicine King’s Valley were the same people who imprisoned her master.
As for the exact truth, it was still to be investigated.
She believed that Little Green would give her feedback soon.
It was useless to worry now.
After Yuwen Longyan and Jiang Zhennan left Taoyuan Village, Lin Family Garden harvested peanuts, corn, and soybeans.
Other than a portion of the peanuts being used for other purposes, the rest
were all used to extract oil.
The corn was prepped the same as peanuts.
Lin Yuelan only used a small portion of the soybeans to extract oil. The rest was used to make various soybean products. Tofu, Yuba, Bean curd skin, smoked dried bean curd, etc.
The dishes made from these soy products were all delicious.
She used to love eating these soy products.
Lin Yuelan really had to thank her hardworking grandma for making tofu and all kinds of bean products. She was omnipotent in her eyes, and she loved her very much.
As long as Lin Yuelan wanted, her grandma would cook the food for her. If she didn’t know how to make it, she would learn to make it. Then, she would make it next time.
When her grandmother was cooking all kinds of delicacies, she would watch obediently from the side and occasionally help her grandmother.
Thankfully, she had a good memory back then.
Therefore, she still had a deep impression of that distant memory, but now she missed it even more. It was a feeling that was still vivid in her mind.
“Little girl, you said that these hard beans can make a lot of delicious food?” Lin Deshan looked at the soybeans and said in surprise,” But these things are very hard. Other than being cooked in a pot, there doesn’t seem to be any other use.”
Here, soybeans were called hard beans because they were very hard after being dried. Moreover, their use was even more useless than peanuts. They couldn’t be eaten raw. If they were cooked and eaten, it would be a waste of a lot of firewood and salt. With the frugal habits of the villagers, they would definitely be heartbroken.
There were also some people who used it to stir-fry in a pot. Although it was fragrant, it was very hard. Other than having good teeth, children who had yet to change their teeth or elderly people did not dare to touch them at all. They were afraid that they would break their teeth.
Therefore, planting hard beans was less common than planting peanuts.
Back when Lin Yuelan wanted to plant soybeans on a large scale, she was stopped by Lin Deshan and the others.
However, Lin Yuelan said that this thing had other uses, so they didn’t stop her.
Lin Yuelan looked at the yellow soybeans that she had collected and couldn’t contain her joy.
She smiled at Lin Deshan and said,” Grandpa, when have I ever lied to you? If I say that this thing can make good food, then it can make good food. Grandpa, you and grandmaster can relax and just wait for it.”
Then, Lin Yuelan immediately asked the housekeeper to arrange for someone to weigh ten kilograms of soybeans and soak them in a water tank for four hours.
Four hours later, Lin Yuelan arranged for someone to go and bring them to the mill.
The stone mill had other uses besides grinding beans.
Thus, Lin Yuelan had already prepared a stone mill.
Seeing the soybeans turn into white paste, the onlookers were very surprised.
Why hadn’t they thought of grinding these soybeans into paste before?
However, what would she use it for after grinding it into white paste?
Lin Yuelan poured the yellow soybean milk into a piece of cloth net. Then, she filtered all the dregs in the paste. She had to squeeze it out with great force. As long as there was a drop of liquid left, she had to squeeze it out.
This job was best done by men with strength.
She poured the filtered soybean dregs into a large pot and boiled it over a high fire.
Of course, a certain proportion of water was also added. One catty of soybeans was matched with six catties of water.
The fire boiled. Not long after, white foam began to boil in the big pot. Lin Yuelan removed the white foam and boiled it for a while. Then, Lin Yuelan got someone to put out the fire.
She placed the boiled soybean milk into an empty vat.
Lin Yuelan placed the prepared bowl and sugar next to her.
She took out a bowl and scooped the soy milk into it. She added some sugar and handed it to Lin Deshan. “Grandpa, try it!’ Lin Deshan was surprised.” Girl, is it done?”
As he spoke, he took the bowl excitedly.
Lin Yuelan smiled at Lin Deshan’s words but didn’t reply. Instead, she took out another bowl and put some sugar in it. Then, she scooped some soy milk into
the bowl. It was obviously for Doctor Zhang.
After that, Lin Yuelan stopped moving.
“It’s fragrant and sweet. What a beautiful taste!”The two of them exclaimed.
“Girl, what is this?”
“This is soy milk!”
