How to make soy sauce in Henan?

Soak the soybeans overnight and steam them in the pot the next day. It's best not to open the lid and let it cover. Put the hot cooked beans into a large container and mix them with flour so that each bean is covered with flour. Find a clean calendar with a white back. Spread fig leaves, pumpkin leaves, etc. On the paper. Pour the beans wrapped in noodles on it, spread a layer of fig leaves on it, cover it with a small quilt and air it for 5 to 7 days. Yellow-green hair is the best, never black hair. Cover the beans, dry them and make a sauce.

Sauce: cover beans 1 kg salt 4 two watermelons and 4 kg pepper aniseed.

The next step is simple. First, we should pay attention to the weather. If it doesn't rain for a week, we will put the sauce, break the caked soybeans, and mix them according to the ratio of 1 kg of beans, 4 salts and 4 kg of melons, and enlarge the ingredients inside. Cover your mouth with two layers of gauze and bask in the sun. Close the house every afternoon, get up early and stir with an oil-free and waterless spoon, and move to outdoor exposure (the sauce dried in the sun is hot, so it can't be stirred at this time, which is easy to sour). You can eat it in a month.
