Even if the beans are cooked so hard that they are still very difficult for the elderly with few teeth. Zhou Chong really couldn't bear to watch the two elders to torture the beans, so he decided to use a modern way to prevent the two elders from being tortured by the teeth in the future.

"Grind the beans and make them into tofu and eat them. It doesn't matter if you don't have teeth." Zhou Chong said for granted.

Zhou Chong’s suggestion is definitely a good suggestion. The two elders should highly agree. However, the reaction of the two elders was unexpected. They asked curiously: “Tofu, what is that?”

Tofu is the most common food in our lives now. It can be eaten as a dish or as a meal, but no one laughs at you. I believe that there will not be too many people who know the origin of tofu. It is said that tofu originated in the Western Han Dynasty, and its origin was Liu An, the king of Huainan. The mother of Huainan likes to eat beans and was bedridden once. Liu An was afraid that he would not eat well, so he asked people to grind it into powder and mix it with water. In order to season it, he added some salt, but unexpectedly it condensed into tofu. Later, Liu An and a group of alchemists, which are the alchemists we call, studied many times before they developed the method of making tofu.

Since then, tofu has appeared in people's daily lives and is popular because of its tenderness, smoothness and deliciousness. The Ming Dynasty poet Su Xuexi's "Pingdou Poem" "is best known as Huainan Art, and the skin is faded. A round of grinding up the jade liquid, and snowflakes are rolled in the boiling soup. The toad has a shadow when it is soaked in the tiles and the toads, and the golden knife has no flaw in the jade. Who knows the taste of it is mostly in monks' and Taoists."

Although Zhou Chong knew a lot about ancient history, he subconsciously thought with modern thinking. He forgot that there was no tofu during the Warring States Period. When the two elders asked, they remembered it, and they were quite embarrassed. They explained: "Grind the beans into powder, squeeze out the juice with water, and add some salt, and the tofu will condense. It is tender and soft, white as jade, light and palatable, especially suitable for the elderly without teeth."

His words were a bit tempting. Zhou Chong thought that even if the two elders agreed, he would still say something. This was a new thing that was not in the Warring States Period. Unexpectedly, the two elders were very excited after hearing this and asked, "Is there such good tofu really?" People without teeth were tortured to eat. The two elders knew the pain and could eat it better when they smelled it, and there was also the reason why they didn't expect it.

"This is basic common sense in modern society, and it is necessary to ask." Zhou Chong felt a little funny in his heart and explained: "Grandma, uncle, this is true."

Old man Sun said helplessly: "It's good, there's a pair of stone mills, but I'm old and don't have the strength to use it. I'd better eat bean rice, I'm born with this fate."

The two elders gave the meal, Zhou Chong was grateful and volunteered to say, "Don't worry, uncle, I can still deal with it." Zhou Chong had never used a stone mill in his life. He believed that he was strong and this was not a problem.

"How can that work?" The two elders immediately objected.

Zhou Chong laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will make a meal of tofu for you."

Seeing that he was very determined, the two elders stopped talking. At that moment, under Zhou Chong's care, soaked the beans in water, cleaned the stone mill, and waited for the beans to get ready to start work.

The next day, the beans were soaked round, and Zhou Chong knew it was done. He was in the process of division of labor and took on the work of pushing the mill and asked the old man Sun and his wife to help fill the beans into the mill's eyes. The old couple was both expectant and curious about this matter. They were very enthusiastic, and they didn't say anything and agreed.

Zhou Chong took off his coat, stood in the local area, held the grinding handle, and pushed the stone mill. Old man Sun used a small wooden spoon to scoop beans and water into the grinding eyes, and a stream of white bean liquid flowed out along the grinding disc.

This is a very common thing for modern people, and it is very unusual and fresh for the ancients in the Warring States Period. The old couple naturally had a surprise and comment, and Zhou Chong explained with a smile.

The three of them went through the trouble, and soon they ground a small pot of beans into bean liquid. Zhou Chong put it on the stove and poured it into the pot. After removing the residue, boiling it, salt settled, and the white tofu appeared magically in the pot.

It is best to use gypsum juice to order tofu. Where can I find it for a while, I have to use the salt stones that Old Man Sun has treasured for many years. Until Zhou Chong was sore, it didn't work. In the end, Old Man Sun gritted his teeth and took out a pinch of salt that he had treasured for many years before solving the problem.

For the ancients, tofu actually appeared in the water, which was unusual. The old couple was surprised and kept saying, "Oh my God, there is such a thing in the water." In their words, there were both the surprise of seeing new things at first and the regret that they hadn't thought of it earlier.

"This is not water, it is soy milk." Zhou Chong explained with a smile, feeling a little regretful: "I forgot to scoop some soy milk for you."

For the two old men, soy milk and water are the same thing. They are a little confused and asked, "What's the difference? It's not the same."

The difference is very obvious. For modern people, they don’t need to explain it. For the ancients, Zhou Chong didn’t feel that way to explain it. He smiled and scooped a spoonful of tofu and put it in the clay pot, saying, “Master, grandma, you try it.”

The air was filled with a scent of tofu. This was the first time the old couple smelled it in their lives. They had long been very excited. They picked up the tofu with chopsticks and put it in their mouths to taste it. When they chewed, they still looked like an old ape, sucking and sucking on their cheeks. But the joy was already seen in the color, and they nodded and laughed: "It tastes delicious, so delicious. In the past, eating was really troublesome. This way of eating was worry-free. You can eat without teeth."

Their sighs would definitely be ridiculed if they were in modern society. Zhou Chong knew the pain of torture to the beans in every meal and said with a smile: "Uncle, grandma, wait until I squeeze the tofu dry and mix it with oil and salt, it will be even better."

"Then hurry up." Old man Sun was really greedy and started urging him.

After Zhou Chong squeezed the tofu, Old Man Sun was very determined to contribute the piece of meat that had been simmering for unknown amounts. Zhou Chong chopped the meat and made a pot of rotten tofu. The old couple burped their mouthfuls so they had to put down the bowl.

Old man Sun smacked his lips and sighed: "It's so delicious, it's even better than the meat that the king gave me back then. It's a pity that I will never be able to eat again." During the Changping War, King Zhao of Qin, the then King of Qin, personally worked hard to reward soldiers with wine and meat.

Zhou Chong was a little confused and asked, "The uncle likes to eat and can still cook it, why can't he eat it?"

"There is no oil, there will be no smell." Old man Sun felt a little sorry for the meat that was simmering in the pot.
