Chapter 476: Milling

The sales clerk was stunned—someone actually wanted to taste it again?

But she quickly regained her composure and continued to smile: "Certainly, please go ahead. Our boss said these peaches are very limited in quantity, so there is a limit on tastings..."

Under normal circumstances, Lu Lu Youyou would have felt embarrassed, but right now she couldn't think about that at all; she just skewered another piece and popped it into her mouth!

If she weren't in a supermarket, she might have been so delighted she'd be stomping her feet!

"Mmm, mmm, mmm!"

As she chewed slowly, savoring the tiny peach cube as if it were an elixir, she pulled the shopping cart closer to her side: "I'll take 4... no, 6 boxes!"

"By the way, how long will these peaches be on sale? Are they available every day?"

The sales clerk hadn't yet recovered from the shock of the 6-box order and replied subconsciously: "I heard the peach yield isn't high. This is the only batch available across our six boutique supermarket branches. Once they're sold out, they'll be taken off the shelves. They probably won't last more than a few days..."

Goodness!

Lu Lu Youyou felt a jolt in her heart immediately!

"Oh, right, it's cold out. I wonder if it's possible to make fermented bean curd? If I do, I'll have to put it in an air-conditioned room, which is a hassle—but if it turns out well, it would be perfect with the scorched rice cooked from new-crop rice..."

Seeing the customer pick up the fork again without restraint, she gripped her walkie-talkie: "Manager, Manager, there are suddenly too many people in the C3 section for the new peaches. I can't handle it alone; please send two more people over..."

Cheng Jin's saliva was about to drip down!

Who cares about anything else!

The supermarket was too big and unfamiliar. After wandering around, he lost his way. At this point, he stopped rushing and just walked slowly along the shelves, looking around...

This work wasn't tiring—to be precise, there wasn't really any work to it. You just rub it a bit, stir it, and once the thin membranes float to the surface of the water, you just scoop them out with your hand.

"That's about enough!"

"Boss Wang, where did you run off to? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?! The stock here is about to be cleared out, hurry up and restock!"

"Although I have the most strength, I have the best physique. These opportunities for exercise should be left to Brother Zhang Yanping and Brother Brother Wu Lei... After all, men still need to have a good build."

Just as he rounded the snack and biscuit aisle, he saw his phone vibrating frantically.

So, he carefully looked at the detailed introduction on the electronic screen nearby: 【Can be kept fresh for up to a month in the refrigerator's fruit and vegetable drawer.】

"That silly boy, he should be the one cooking! Look at how much energy he has when he works!"

"Okay!"

The peaches on the mountain were being picked in an orderly fashion, while Cheng Jin sat on the porch picking through soybeans.

It was less like picking soybeans and more like playing with water, while practicing Tai Chi on the side.

At this moment, Cheng Jin was idle, so he sat on a small stool, picking out the translucent soybean membranes that had floated to the top.

The young girl looked so fair and clean, yet she moved those hundred-pound crates of peaches as if they were made of foam. Great-Uncle had been shocked ever since they went grocery shopping.

Meanwhile, Song Tan was holding a small axe, chopping away at several pig trotters!

"Good!"

"Great-Uncle, add water and beans!" "15 boxes!"

That's right! Such delicious peaches naturally wouldn't be available to buy anytime like Chinese cabbage; they must be limited in time and quantity! She often snatched up limited editions and was very experienced!

While she was pondering this, she saw the sales clerk bring over another tray: "New Yunqiao Immortal Peaches, would you like to taste? It's a free sample." Then, she stood proudly by the stone mill, her hands resting on the frame, watching Great-Uncle set up the bucket to catch the soy milk, impatiently directing:

Boss Wang was completely unaware of the excitement over there.

She shouted in a clear, loud voice: "Alright, I'll get you the freshest gift boxes right away!"

Oh, right, such delicious peaches must be shared with her best friends, and her parents should taste them too—

Great-Uncle watched, beaming with joy:

At this moment, she quickly sprang up from her chair, looking serious: "Adults don't make choices; I want them all!"

As he spoke, he looked at the brand-new stone mill placed by the courtyard, then glanced toward Qiaoqiao: "Are you done picking? These have been soaking for three hours now. Pour me a basin; I'm going to grind the tofu."

Soybeans for grinding tofu shouldn't be soaked for too long. Using a soy milk machine is one thing, but if they wanted to make tofu, the timing had to be precise.

Boss Wang:... What, what, what?!

"Tonight, I'm planning to make fish head and tofu soup, scallion-tossed tofu, Mapo tofu, and braised cabbage with tofu... You tell me, which one do you want to eat?"

Just as she finished serving and was about to watch Great-Uncle grind the tofu, she saw the old man eyeing her: "You have the most strength in the house, and you're idle anyway. Why don't you come and pull the mill?"

Qiaoqiao:...

Great-Uncle glanced at her: "With your strength, you just need to push it forward with your hand; it's not tiring. If I rely on those two, we won't be eating tofu until dark!"

Great-Uncle smiled, not discouraging him: "Right."

Boss Wang stood there, feeling dizzy, as if he were falling from the clouds.

Qiaoqiao quickly added: "Song Tan, chop them smaller; I don't like gnawing on big pieces!"

"Give him 10 boxes first!"

Only then did she mutter in a low voice: "With soybeans here, unless you burn them all to a crisp, how could it possibly taste bad..."

Qiaoqiao quickly reached into the beans and stirred. Seeing the last few membranes floating around, she hurriedly used a skimmer to catch them all, then scooped the beans into the basin one by one.

On the other end of the phone was the mall manager who had just signed the contract with him. He was shouting at the top of his lungs:

Are these peaches really that good? Or were they on sale? Why buy so many? If they're so popular, they must be exceptionally good, right?

Yesterday, Great-Uncle had dug out several aged pig legs from the home's freezers, so he had soaked a large basin of soybeans that morning.

Song Tan wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued to chop them into smaller pieces, while Great-Uncle gave instructions: "Song Tan, work hard! You'll be the one cooking the braised pig trotters with soybeans at noon!"

By the way, this bowl of peaches also needs to be divided into several small plates!

The white and pink boxes were labeled 【Yunqiao Immortal Peaches】, containing five large green peaches, the color combination looking exceptionally fresh. At this moment, they were stacked box by box in her shopping cart. Nearby customers shopping for other fresh produce couldn't help but hesitate—

Sales clerk:...!

! (*??? *)

Then, unable to resist, she ran to the checkout counter to grab a shopping cart—

Before he could react to the shock, he heard the person in charge on the phone seemingly answer a landline, shouting at the top of his lungs: "... Yunqiao Immortal Peaches? You want to transfer stock from your side? I don't have enough here! Ask the third branch; they usually have less foot traffic..."

A month... she could easily devour 4 peaches a day!

The hard pig trotters were chopped into pieces, one by one, with great efficiency.

Cheng Jin wouldn't feel anxious or nervous; he would only say super loudly and confidently: "I will definitely be able to make it taste exceptionally good!" ===== CHAPTER 512 =====
