He led Xu Ran to a place where there were many fallen stones, so there was no need for them to chisel. He knew where to find the stones they needed. The two of them decided not to leave until the millstone was built.īecause Liu Tong often went up the mountain to hunt, he was very familiar with the mountain. They did not have to worry about food, and they brought enough water. The mountains in this era had its’ primitivity, everything could be found in it. Liu Tong’s promise that he could have it done as Xu Ran required was also a relief to Xu ran. Although it was pretty inconvenient without a chisel, they could still do the digging with axes. He and Xu Ran went up to the mountain to look for some rocks with tools. Xu Ran made up his mind. Liu Tong sent Tangtang and Guoguo to Wu Mei’s the next day, asking him to babysit. Besides, they did not have visitors that much, so no one would find it. If they had their own millstone, it would be convenient for they to grind whatever they wanted. Anyway, he remembered how that thing was done. Suddenly it occured to Xu Ran that he could simply make one by himself. Moreover, they might raise some suspects that they had so much to grind. He was not very familiar with the villagers, so Liu Tong had to take this responsibility. They could pay a few pennies to have the beans ground, but Xu Ran was just worried that no one would be willing to lend their millstones. However, they did not own any millstones unlike some other families in this village. The soybean could be fermented by itself, while chili needed to be ground into powder first. It probably wouldn’t work well if being placed directly in the bamboo tubes as been placed in the jar. Still, Xu Ran asked Liu Tong to buy a big jar even though it was going to cost them extra money, because the sauce has to be placed somewhere for a while. When the chili sauce was ready, they could store them in. There were more than two hundred of them. In those three days, they had finished making the bamboo tubes. The chili had been aired out in the sun for three days, while this process for the soybeans only took two days.
