Shi Qingluo had asked Mother Xiao to soak the soybeans last night.

She asked, "Is there no grinder at our house?"

Xiao Hanzheng replied, "There isn't, but there's a common stone grinder in the village."

"You want to grind the beans?"

Shi Qingluo snapped her fingers. "Smart!"

"I asked our mother and our younger siblings to grind the beans too. Only then I could make tofu."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. "Alright. When I'm better, I'll help you guys."

He didn't think that Shi Qingluo would make tofu just for today's food.


She would probably make it frequently in the future.

When Shi Qingluo heard that, she knew the hidden meaning in his words.


She realized that not only was Xiao Hanzheng's appearance and temperament up to her aesthetic sense, but he was also very intelligent and was her cup of tea.

In the past, she had rejected all her suitors because they didn't have a 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 Qingluo also noticed that the people in Xiaxi village were much more rustic than those in Shangxi village.

Some also greeted Shi Qingluo, 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 Qingluo smiled and replied, "Because I want to make tofu."

"What is tofu?" Everyone was even more puzzled.

Shi Qingluo 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 Qingluo 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.
