Shi Lisa had asked Mother Xiao to soak the soybeans last night.
She asked, “Is there no grinder at our house?”
Xiao Jungkook replied, “There isn’t, but there’s a common stone grinder in the village.”
“You want to grind the beans?”
Shi Lisa snapped her fingers. “Smart!”
“I asked our mother and our younger siblings to grind the beans too. Only then I could make tofu.”
Xiao Jungkook nodded. “Alright. When I’m better, I’ll help you guys.”
He didn’t think that Shi Lisa would make tofu just for today’s food.
She would probably make it frequently in the future.
When Shi Lisa heard that, she knew the hidden meaning in his words.
She realised that not only was Xiao Jungkook’s appearance and temperament up to her aesthetic sense, he was also very intelligent and was her cup of tea.
In the past, she had rejected all her suitors because they don’t have tacit understanding or a rapport with her.
“Okay!” She nodded.
She went to the kitchen and called for Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili.
She carried the soya beans and buckets filled with water and walked towards the stone mill.
Along the way, she met some villagers who would greet Mother Xiao when they saw her.
It was obvious that Mother Xiao had a pretty good relationship with others in the village.
Shi Lisa also noticed that the people in Xiaxi village were much more rustic than those in Shangxi village.
Some also greeted Shi Lisa, and she responded with a smile.
Seeing them carrying beans and buckets, a few people who were on good terms with Mother Xiao asked, “Yuelan, what are you guys going to do?”
Mother Xiao’s name was Kong Yuelan.
She smiled and replied, “My daughter-in-law wants to grind all the beans out.”
Some people were puzzled. “Grind all the beans for what?”
Wasn’t this a waste? They had never seen anyone grinding beans and had always eaten them as grains.
Shi Lisa smiled and replied, “Because I want to make tofu.”
“What is tofu?” Everyone was even more puzzled.
Shi Lisa did not try to hide it. “It’s a type of food. When I was in the Taoist temple, my master taught us how to make it.”
They asked curiously, “Is it delicious?”
Shi Lisa nodded. “It’s delicious.”
She smiled and said, “After it’s made, everyone can come over to our house to try it.”
She had already planned ahead.
After she made the tofu, she would give those who had helped the Xiao Family some as food tasting.
Other than exchanging favors, she also wanted to do the first round of publicity.
The few of them were a little embarrassed. “That’s not necessary. You guys can keep it for yourselves.”
The Xiao Family was in a bad situation now, so they were too embarrassed to take it.
They heard that these soybeans were brought here as Miss Shi’s dowry.
