The silence didn't last long this time. Even before Yuan Zhou opened the book, Chu Xiao said.
"Why didn't you say anything last time?" Chu Xiao's words came out of nowhere.
However, Yuan Zhou understood immediately. He said calmly, "I don't need to pay to answer the phone."
His words were so straightforward that even Chu Xiao was stupefied for a while. Then, he answered, "I don't need to pay to make a phone call, either."
"Because of the package, if you spend more than 40 EUR per month, you'll get one hour of free call time. I happen to have one hour left." After a pause, Chu Xiao continued, "I don't need to pay, either."
"Um." Yuan Zhou answered with an ambiguous meaning and didn't say anything more.
"Goodbye," Chu Xiao said abruptly.
"Goodbye." Yuan Zhou still waited for Chu Xiao to hang up the phone.
Helping Chu Xiao to use up one hour of free call time was a small matter. Yuan Zhou indicated that he was quite willing to do that. That way, he could make collect calls as much as he wanted next time.
However, Chu Xiao hung up the phone in time. He hung up the phone almost as soon as Yuan Zhou finished his words.
"What a fast hand," Yuan Zhou muttered.
"Speaking of which, let's eat tofu pudding tonight." Yuan Zhou hung up the phone and suddenly decided on the dinner tonight.
There was a dish in the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine named Spring Water Tofu Pudding. It was an extremely common yet high-class dish.
It was common because every family could make it. As for high-class, it was because a Sichuan Cuisine master had once won a gold medal with this dish, defeating other dishes with bird's nest, abalone and shark's fin as main ingredients.
"System, are the soybeans provided by you the soybeans in season?" As it was spring, Yuan Zhou asked that.
The system displayed, "The system doesn't provide vegetables, meat, poultry or any other ingredients out of season."
"The ingredients provided by the system are all cultivated scientifically. They are sown and mature in the appropriate season. Host, you don't need to doubt that."
"So, system, your ingredients come from all over the world, right?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of those dishes in different seasons in the cabinet.
The system displayed, "Host's level is too low to answer for now."
"Okay. The next sentence is to work hard to level up. I understand." Yuan Zhou was helpless.
The system displayed, "The soybean is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the genus of Leguminosae, with a height of 30-90 cm. The stem is stout, erect, densely covered with long brown stiff hairs, its leaves usually having 3 leaflets; stipules veined, covered with yellow pubescence, and its flowering period is from June to July, and its fruiting period is from July to September.
"China is the origin of soybeans. The system selects the original local soybean seeds from the Northeast Black Land."
"Only the middle one is taken from each pod, and the rest are used for other purposes. This is to ensure that after drying, each soybean is light yellow in color, oval in shape, slightly flat, with a light brown belly button, a length of one centimeter and a width of eight millimeters."
"Stop. I don't want to know what kind of fertilizer a bean eats anymore. I need a quiet environment for cooking." Yuan Zhou stopped him in time to prevent him from having the misconception that he was not as delicate as a bean.
The system displayed, "Okay."
Not knowing why, Yuan Zhou felt a sense of pleasure from the word "system". Of course, it might just be an illusion.
The Spring Water Tofu Pudding was really very simple. It only used three ingredients, spring water, soybeans and brine water.
The soybeans were provided by the system, and the spring water was also provided by the system. It wasn't any kind of water available at present.
"The water is nice." Yuan Zhou took a cup of it and tasted it.
The system displayed, "The spring water comes from the area of Caishi and Ganggou Town in Licheng District. There are a total of 68 springs there. Among them, the Yuhe Spring is one of the 72 famous springs in Jinan. The Yuhe Spring is the source of the Juye River and consists of eight springs. Its original name is Yuke Spring."
"In the Commentary on the Water Classic written by Li Daoyuan, it is recorded that 'the spring water comes from 100 meters below the rock stratum. It is mellow and sweet, just like holy water'. The spring water chosen by the system is the one recorded in the book. "
"You dug the spring water in Jinan?" It was the first reaction of Yuan Zhou.
After all, the spring water was too famous. If it suddenly disappeared, wouldn't it cause a huge commotion?
The system displayed, "The system only took one of the springs and didn't take it away."
"Oh, that's good." Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing the system no longer reply, Yuan Zhou drank a mouthful of water again and sighed with emotion, "The spring water that resembles holy water is indeed unusual."
"Gu Dong." Yuan Zhou swallowed a mouthful of water.
The spring water was cool, but it didn't cool his throat and stomach. It just felt a little cold when it entered his mouth. Once it entered his throat, however, it immediately moistened his throat like sweet dew, making his throat feel comfortable and comfortable.
When it entered his stomach, he felt the warmth of the water. It was very comfortable and palatable.
After drinking up the spring water, Yuan Zhou started to wash the soybeans. As there was an invisible membrane on the soybeans, Yuan Zhou washed them very carefully.
After that, he soaked the soybeans. Yuan Zhou took the stool and went outside to sculpt while waiting for the soybeans to be soaked.
It took three hours to soak the soybeans until they were done. Yuan Zhou could still make it in time.
Nowadays, it had almost become a habit for the kids to come and get the sculpting. Therefore, Yuan Zhou would spend some time to sculpt something and put it on the shelf every day.
Once he started to sculpt, there wouldn't be any time left. Two hours passed very soon. Yuan Zhou put down the last finished product and carried the stool into the door again.
"Hua La", Yuan Zhou closed the door.
That's right. Yuan Zhou had learned to be smart. The system wouldn't turn on the odor avoidance function when it wasn't business hours. If the smell of the soybeans was too strong, it wouldn't be good to leave the door open.
Yuan Zhou was quite self-aware. After all, he would probably be beaten up if he didn't let others eat the soybeans that smelled so good.
After soaking in the spring water, the one-centimeter soybeans swelled up and became smooth and translucent. Every one of them was round and lovable.
After draining the water, Yuan Zhou rinsed them again with the spring water. Only then did he start to grind the soybeans with the stone mill.
"Zhi Ya Zhi Ya." For every handful of soybeans, Yuan Zhou made sure to grind them three times until the soybean milk was fine and the bean dregs were uniform.
Yuan Zhou did it quickly and well. What was left was to filter out the bean dregs and boil the raw soybean milk.
Until the big milky white bubbles of "Gu Dong Gu Dong" emerged from the stone pot, it was considered to be boiled.
Yuan Zhou directly scooped a bowl of soybean milk and prepared to drink it himself. After all, he had to wait for the soybean milk to cool down before making the tofu pudding. It was also a good choice to drink a bowl of soybean milk first.
"One with sugar and the other without." Yuan Zhou straightforwardly scooped two bowls of soybean milk.
Of course, he didn't forget to scoop a bowl of broth out. It was also time for Broth to drink the broth.
"Kuang", Yuan Zhou opened the back door. As expected, Broth was waiting for him at the door.
"Here's your dinner." Yuan Zhou straightforwardly poured the broth into Broth's bowl. Then, he took a bowl of soybean milk and drank it while standing at the door.
However, even drinking the soybean milk couldn't stop Yuan Zhou's desire to talk. He started to torture Broth again.
