A burst of charming fireworks wafted from the kitchen of Nihu's house, soothing the hearts of these mortals.
The picked sweet potatoes had been divided long ago, and the solitary grinder in front of the village elder's house turned out to be a popular food. The villagers who received the sweet potatoes were afraid that the sweet potatoes would be spoiled, so they crushed them all into pieces. The powder is also dried.
There are mills in almost every village, and there are still three-pound nails in broken boats. Even this mill is not available. When dry wheat was grown in the past, who wouldn't want to eat two delicious bites of fried wheat.
There were no oxen or horses to pull them, so every household used human power to squeeze the sweet potatoes into juice, drain out the slurry and dry it in the sun.
The only drawback is that the flour extraction rate of this sweet potato is too low. Ten kilograms of sweet potatoes can produce almost one kilogram of flour. Each family is given a few baskets of sweet potatoes and squeezed into sweet potato powder. It would be great to be able to fill a basket. .
However, other powder residues can also be fed to pigs and livestock, so they are not completely useless!
The people on the whole hilltop are immersed in a kind of incomparable expectation. They are looking forward to the arrival of next year so that they can plant sweet potatoes and harvest them quickly. It is said that one acre can have two to three thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, but that is not several hundred kilograms. Rice flour can be eaten. Who doesn’t have dozens of acres of wasteland? If we work harder and reclaim the wasteland on the mountain, we can’t imagine the harvest. We won’t be able to finish our food rations for the coming year!
Nihu was still immersed in the deliciousness of the bowl of pork vermicelli made by the girl from the Liang family that night.
The pork is stewed with some spices picked in the mountains, such as pepper, cinnamon, ginger and dogwood. The stew tastes exquisite, but even if he has an upright identity, the wild animals in the mountains cannot support him to serve him with meat every day.
Cut a small strip of pork and put it among the vermicelli. The vermicelli is the main character, and the pork is just a green leaf at most. A handful of salt and a little vinegar make them feel that their lives are already satisfied.
If you eat meat every day, you are not living a good life, you are making trouble for yourself. When the meat is no longer available, will you still eat it?
Liang Chuan said that vermicelli can not only be eaten stewed, but also stir-fried or mixed, whatever makes you feel comfortable!
This method is no more convenient than rice. Every household collects hundreds of kilograms of rice noodles. If you can't finish it, you can sell it in the market. Will things get better in the future?
Even if the sweet potatoes are not made into powder and are directly roasted or steamed, the taste will be just like wild vegetables from the mountains. Who will have a hard time in the future?
Regarding wild vegetables, Liang Chuan smiled. If sweet potatoes are grown, then the sweet potato leaves are the best vegetable. You don’t even need oil in the pot, just add some water and stir-fry, and it’s a delicious dish!
This is not a life-saving dish! The fruits buried in the ground can be eaten, and the leaves growing on the ground can be eaten. They are full of treasures, and whoever doesn’t plant them is a fool!
The method of growing sweet potatoes is even simpler. Cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces and bury them in the soil. Next year they will grow into a large piece of black rice. If you dig up the weeds in the ground and prevent water accumulation, you can get one at any cost. Good harvest!
This is simply easier to obtain than wild vegetables. If the wild vegetables grow this year, they may not be available next year. According to this saying, as long as the soil is still here, generations of people will not be able to finish it!
After the Little Heavenly Master left, it rained again in the mountain forest, one autumn rain and one cold. The mountain roads became muddy, and the mountain roads at night were even worse. If you were not careful, you would fall into the valley. Yang Xiu was walking very well. Angry and annoyed!
She knew exactly what kind of person Liang Chuan was.
He doesn't touch the spring water with his fingers, and spends more time in the latrine at home than in the kitchen. He doesn't know how to cook anything. It is such a wild animal-like man who has improved the kimchi in Sichuan, and now it has turned decay into magic. Turn sweet potatoes, something everyone is afraid of eating, into a daily ingredient!
She really wanted to ask Liang Chuan where he learned it. How could one person know so many things? He could not only sell bamboo weaving, make mosquito coils, make pickles, but also know how to make sweet potato powder?
Yang Xiu took a few bites of the pork vermicelli at Nihu's house. She didn't like the meat very much, but her intuition told her that the sweet potato vermicelli was very useful!
The sweet potato powder made from these can be used to cook wild boar meat that is not good at firewood, and it will be fragrant. If it is fried or steamed, the ingredients will be more delicious!
As soon as they got off the mountain, Yang Xiu took out the remaining sweet potatoes from the kiln of his old house in Wangxiang, and put them on a roller to crush the sweet potato powder. Yi Niang thought that Yang Xiu had been stimulated by something, and Liang Chuan's carelessness was the real thing to him. Stimulate!
She couldn't stand Liang Chuan's Feng Qingyundan's creativity, which was simply crushing to her. Their creativity was summed up by countless predecessors. As for Liang Chuan, it was like just talking! It was as if they were rubbing the hard work of their seniors on the ground!
In the middle of the night, the rumbling sound of the roller was a little scary, and Yang Xiu's unwillingness to admit defeat was even more frightening.
No one knew how much Yang Xiu had been tinkering with sweet potato powder that night. They only knew that the next day, a large piece of sweet potato powder had condensed in the water tank, with an oil film floating on it.
It only took one day for Fengshan's sweet potatoes to go from being ignored to becoming a hot commodity. Most of the sweet potatoes were bought by mountain people from Shicang. The mountain people bought them at extremely low prices and the people of Fengshan felt that they were tasteless. tasteless.
People in Fengshan sell sweet potatoes at extremely low prices, even only about half of the local rice price.
People on both sides feel that they have made a profit. The people of Fengshan are worried about digesting so many sweet potatoes, but the people of Shicang, even if they buy them and bake them or steam them, they will not feel tired no matter how much they eat at first. The sweetness of sweet potatoes greatly satisfies their taste buds!
It rained lightly all night, and the next day the sun was particularly dazzling and bright. Liang Chuan had just gotten up, and Yang Xiu had already been busy for a long time!
"Why, you still want to make vermicelli? Yesterday's pig stewed vermicelli tasted good, didn't it?" Liang Chuan was surprised when he looked at the crystal powder in a yard. This woman must be crazy. She made so many vermicelli in one night. Is it possible that it rained yesterday? Grinding flour?
Yang Xiu said stubbornly: "I don't believe it. Sweet potatoes can really make such delicious noodles, just like noodles. Then sweet potatoes will not be considered a treasure from now on!"
Liang Chuan said with a smile: "No more pork vermicelli, go to the river to find horse eggs and beat two grass carps over, and get a plate of clams and snails. I'll let you know what vermicelli is and what deliciousness is!"
No, there are new dishes too!
Is it possible that you, Liang Chuan, are like the Kitchen God? All kinds of dishes can turn into flowers in your hands. The dishes she has been cooking for decades are really not as good as Liang Chuan just playing around with them!
People are so irritating!
Yang Xiu went to get fish and snails, and Liang Chuan didn't rest. He ran to the iron shop in Fengshan Market to make a tray!
Ever since chili peppers were grown, Liang Chuan had long wanted to try out many of the dishes himself. However, over the years, one thing or another, and the bad things that happened to him all the time have been bothering him. He had to live for a few taels of silver. I’m so worried, but now I can finally settle down and enjoy life!
Ma Dan was still studying in school. Yang Xiu and Wen Boyan helped him take a leave of absence. Over the years, this boy had a sultry name, and he even made the fishing business that Liang Chuan passed down to him bigger and stronger. From time to time, He made an appointment with his school friends. When he got tired of eating sweet potatoes, he went to the river to light a fire and grill two fresh fish.
The fish was quickly brought in. There were countless clams in the sand on the river beach, which were very delicious when making soup. There were also snails in the river. In the era without chili peppers, few people would focus on the meat. On two small things, it was exhausting to eat and not full!
At home, Liang Chuan's charcoal rack had already been set up. The iron tray on top was being roasted by a fierce fire, and then poured with sesame oil. The iron tray began to bubble happily.
Yang Xiu's grass came just in time, what a good guy, there was a grass stem strung on the fish's gills. Liang Chuan took it and lifted it up. There were two big ones weighing four or five kilograms! The tail is still fluttering in the air arrogantly!
Liang Chuan put the fish on the table and slapped it to death, scraped off the scales, removed the belly and gills. His skillful movements made all the female family members secretly shocked.
The two fresh fish turned into dozens of fish fillets. Liang Chuan took the freshly made sweet potato powder and mixed it with the fish meat. On the other side, he threw the ginger, garlic and peppercorns from home into the oily four. Among the overflowing trays, the fragrant smell from the pot rushed towards him, and even Yang Xiu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Pour the fragrant ingredients into the iron pot, add water and bring to a boil. Put the fish bones and fish meat into the pot and cook. Remove the fish from the pot, add dried chili peppers, put the fish meat on the tray, pour the chili peppers on top, and stir-fry until fragrant. Sprinkle all the green onion, coriander and cilantro, and you're done!
Yi Niang was so drunk that she asked foolishly: "What kind of fame is this?"
Liang Chuan smiled and said: "This is a famous dish in our hometown, called boiled live fish! Come on, take your chopsticks and taste the fish to see if it's delicious!"
Just looking at the red, green and green colors makes one's index finger twitch, and then smelling the aroma of meat and scallion oil makes people want to stop. Several people and women took the chopsticks, and the fish and meat disappeared piece by piece like a whirlwind. In the mouths of these women!
Liang Chuan smiled and said, "In the past, we only ate grilled fish. This fish is not bad to eat like this. After a while, the fish is finished, Yang Xiu, you pressed the powder out, put it in this hot pot and cook it, it will have more flavor." ! "
Yang Xiu's temper was really gone. The Sichuan girl's temperament made her more cheerful and generous than anyone else. She directly asked Liang Chuan: "Is this what Chef Bianjing does? Where did you steal it?"
Liang Chuan waved his hands and said: "How can it be possible? Everyone in the street in our hometown can do this. In the summer, order a plate of this fish and order a few small drinks. This life is called life!"
Yang Xiu knew that he couldn't defeat Liang Chuan. Isn't his hometown Fengshan? Yang Xiu has been living here for several years. This is the first time he has seen someone do this. Could it be a ghost?
"Tomorrow I will teach you how to make snail noodles. Not only snail noodles, but also sweet potato cold skin, steamed rice dumplings, and sweet potato rice dumplings. I will make sure that you will never hate sweet potatoes again, and you won't be able to eat enough all year round!"
