Chapter 11 Tofu Shop Chapter 11 Tofu Shop

Qiu Ye happily walked with her mother for a while, and in less than 5 minutes, they arrived at the tofu shop where her mother worked. This was a tofu shop built by the Normal University specifically to supply its own canteen, and the family members of the employees came to work there. They only needed to provide four plates of tofu to the Normal University canteen every morning. You could give the rest to others or take it home to eat, and no one cared. But making tofu was very hard work, and everyone earned the same money, so no one wanted to endure this hardship, just like soy milk. If you could put aside your pride, you could just go to the tofu shop every morning to order it. In the end, Qiu's mother took over this job.

Qiu Ye knew that her mother went to work in the tofu shop so that she could drink some soy milk every day, eat a piece of tofu sometimes, and have time to see her in the afternoon.

This job was very hard. Every morning at around 3 o'clock when everyone was asleep, Qiu's father and mother would get up and leave Qiu Ye and his sister at home. They would go to the tofu shop to make tofu together. At around 6 o'clock in the morning, Qiu's father would go home to cook for the two siblings, and then after delivering the meal to Qiu's mother, he would go to work. After breakfast, Qiu's mother would make tofu from the tofu pudding that had been seasoned with brine. Around 8 o'clock in the morning, people from the Normal University would come to the tofu shop to take away four plates of tofu. Qiu's mother would put the rest of the tofu outside the tofu shop, waiting for the family members of the Normal University to come and exchange them with soybeans. Before about 10 o'clock every morning, Qiu's mother would deal with the remaining tofu, clean up the tofu shop, and soak the beans for the next day.

Qiu Ye secretly cheered himself up outside the tofu shop. He was sure that he could make his first pot of gold in this tofu shop, and also create some income for his mother. He couldn't let his mother work hard every day in vain.

Entering the tofu shop, Qiu Ye saw an old-fashioned handmade tofu workshop. The room was damp and there was a drainage ditch on the ground. The only advanced equipment was a bean grinder that the Normal University paid for a few months ago. The rest were traditional tools. There was a big black pot on a big stove, which was used to boil soy milk. In the middle of the room stood a large water tank with a cross hanging on it. On the four corners of the cross were tied square pieces of coarse yarn to form a large net bag. She knew that was the tool for filtering out the bean dregs.

After Mother Qiu came into the room, she let the girl finish by herself first. She picked up the white coat draped over the back of a chair and put it on, changed into rubber boots, and then picked up the water pipe and prepared to clean the millstone.

Qiu Ye watched his mother working, but he couldn't just sit there and watch, so he tactfully found things to do within his ability.

For example, find a small basin and prepare to take out all the bean dregs in the net bag hanging above the water tank. Hehe, this is the purpose of her coming today.

Mother Qiu saw her daughter standing in a daze beside the big jar and thought she wanted to drink soy milk, so she put down the water pipe in her hand, picked up a thermos by the wall, took out a bowl of steaming soy milk, and brought it to the girl.

Qiu Ye looked at the white soy milk in front of him and came back to his senses. He held the bowl and smiled sweetly at his mother: "Thank you, Mom. I miss this taste."

What Qiu Ye said was true. This was pure soy milk made by her own hands. She could smell the strong aroma of soy milk from a long distance away, and it was even more fragrant and pure when she drank it. She didn't know how long it had been since she had tasted this flavor.
