Although sweet potato flour is simple to make, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
After working all afternoon, she was able to extract the sweet potato juice at best, and there were still several steps to be done later.
While waiting for the water to be replaced, Lin Xi went into the kitchen to cook the chopped pheasant and hare.
Although it was still early for dinner in the evening, she had promised Gu Qi that she would prepare delicious food for him in the evening, and she could not break her promise, so she needed to make preparations early.
The boiled chicken is simple, the key is the seasoning. The braised rabbit is a bit more troublesome. It needs to be simmered for a long time, so it is better to cook it early.
Lin Xi saw that the two pheasants and hares were growing fat and strong, so she originally wanted to cut each in half and keep half in the well to eat tomorrow.
As a result, Gu Huaiban slowly walked over and stood in the kitchen corridor, leaning on the corridor to watch her cooking and said to her: "Let's do it all~"
Lin Xi asked with some doubts: "Do we really want to cook them all? If we cook them all, will there be so much that we can't finish them all? These pheasants and hares are quite fat and have a lot of meat."
Gu Huaibang nodded affirmatively: "It's all done, and I'll send you a few more tomorrow. Can you please bring more meat to Gu Qi in our yard later, so you don't have to worry about not being able to finish it."
The meat was beaten by Gu San and the others. If they didn't get their share of the food, the little follower would inevitably be severely punished.
Since the owner of the meat said so, Lin Xi didn't hesitate to ask more questions, although she was wondering whether the master and servant could really finish the meal? Will she be exhausted? But she is not a nosy person, so just do as she is told.
Besides, they said that they would send her a few more tomorrow, so that she would not be stupid enough to get to the bottom of the problem when she had meat to eat every day, so she would not refuse, so just do them all in a big way.
As for the master, it seemed that he had no intention of leaving, and probably planned to stay and have dinner together like his little servant.
At the chicken stall, Lin Xi asked Lin Yan to go to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables and wild onions. Gu Qi didn't know what he did. In just a short time, he became a big shot admired by the two children.
Hearing that he was going to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, he didn't want to stay by his master's side and be cut by his master, so he went along. After a while, a screaming show was staged in the vegetable field.
"Brother Gu Qi, don't step on the vegetables~"
"Brother pulled it out wrong!"
"Wrong, that's not a wild onion, Brother Gu Qi, it's the green and slender one."
"It's still wrong, it's this..."
Looking at the figures of one large and two small children jumping around in the vegetable field, Lin Xi's face was full of smiles, and her hands were cutting the ingredients quickly.
Since the death of her original mother, Lin Yu has been okay. After all, she is only five years old. The sadness comes and is forgotten quickly. Unlike her brother, who has understood the separation of life and death, she will not be immersed in sadness all the time.
Lin Yan always looks young and mature. He talks little, but he sees everything and remembers everything. He is so sensible that it makes people feel sad.
Gu Huaipan glanced at the busy figures in front of the stove with a smile.
The smoke from the cooking pots curled up and the fragrance of vegetables lingered, and when I looked at the laughter and laughter coming from the vegetable field, I felt inexplicably emotional.
He went into battle to kill the enemy and charge into battle for more than ten years, not just so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment and have enough food and clothing.
This kind of stable time is like having a warm wife and having a few children. Unfortunately, he doesn't know if he can have such a blessing now. This poison in him...
His only direct relative in the world, the queen sister, was so worried that he could live a good life and inherit the blood of their Gu family. She couldn't eat well or sleep well, and her hair turned white from worry.
In order to prevent her from worrying about her pregnancy, he had no choice but to agree to the recall of the emperor's brother-in-law, resigned from the post of border commander and returned to Huajing for treatment and detoxification.
In fact, he didn't think about it. In the past five years, the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless against this poison and could not completely eradicate it. The private doctors also visited a lot, but they couldn't cure it.
On the front line, injuries are common. This year, in order to drive away the barbarians who were ambitious and wanted to seize the new city, he was injured again. The military doctor concluded that if he continued to risk his life, he would only have one year to live.
His sister, the queen, cried when she heard that he was dying in the palace. The emperor ordered him to be kidnapped and brought him back. He also asked people to find out that there was a miracle doctor Hua Tuo in Hua County who might be able to cure the disease.
In order to prevent his sister from running back and forth every day to take care of him and summon him to the palace to listen to her talk about her worries, he brought his confidants to Huaxian alone in the name of looking for a miracle doctor.
He did come with high expectations and vague expectations, but he just didn't know if he could find this rumored miracle doctor?
Lin Xi quickly cooked the chicken, blanched the rabbit meat and put it into the pot. She added the ingredients and simmered them together. She put the lid on the pot and called Gu Qi, who was helping the two little guys wash vegetables by the well, and together they put the pot in the pot. of water poured out.
With the assistance of Gu Qi, Lin Xi directed him to pour out all the water in the water tank, and a layer of yellow and white material was instantly revealed.
Gu Qi was so surprised that she touched it with her hands. It was soft and soft.
"This is what I want!" Lin Xi said: "I need to add two more water to let it settle, and then pour it out. When it is white and free of other debris, dig it out and dry it for two or three days, and it will be ready. Got something to eat.”
Gu Xiaoqi nodded and shook his head, seeming to understand. He was not as knowledgeable as his master, who could figure it out at a glance. He still didn't quite understand, how to eat this thing?
Anyway, it was done. Miss Lin said that the first bowl would be given to him. He was so shameless that he would come and ask for it when the time came, leaving a bowl for the master. The three brothers, hum~ let them be greedy first.
Gu Huaipan, who was in the corridor, saw the layer of yellow-white objects in the tank with clear eyes and ears. He fell into deep thought and looked at Lin Xi again. She was a woman with dexterity and clever thinking.
After adding water and letting it settle for another hour, Lin Xi got back into the kitchen and got busy.
At the beginning of the Youshi period, the food was served and they sat down to eat their dinner.
Lin Xi and her two younger siblings sat at the small square table to eat, leaving the only large square table in the house to Gu Huaijian.
Gu Qi naturally did not dare to go to his master's table, so he squatted aside with a bowl of rice to eat. After a while, he came to Lin Xi's table with a bowl, and started eating with Lin Xi and others, talking and laughing.
"Miss Lin, this chicken is delicious and the meat is so beautiful. How can you be so dexterous with your hands to make such delicacies? Your skills are worthy of opening a restaurant!"
"Really?" Lin Xi asked with some expectancy. She had learned cooking skills over the past ten years. If it was as Gu Qi said, maybe she could really succeed in gourmet food. She didn't ask for much. , she is satisfied if it is enough for her to support her family and have enough food and clothing.
"Of course it is!" Gu Qi gave a high evaluation: "Jingyu Tower is inferior to this one, especially the white chicken. It is tender and refreshing, fat but not greasy, and extremely delicious. It is very good!"
"Is it really that good? If I sell this recipe and recipe, do you think anyone will buy it?"
"I'm not sure about this, but I feel like it must be something that tastes so good."
Gu Huaibang looked at the happy people at the table, and then at the deserted place where he was the only one, and at the large bowls of food in front of him.
Regardless of the amount of food or food, his table was much richer than theirs, but why did he suddenly feel that the food on that table was much more delicious than his table?
Where did the habit of chatting while eating come from?
Someone's face darkened and he felt unhappy: he didn't talk when he was eating or sleeping, it was simply outrageous and unruly. The little follower seemed a bit too happy to care for his children and wanted to find something to do.
I didn't notice the cold look on Mr. Gu's face as he was left alone at a table.
First of all, in this rural place, there are not many rules about eating and sleeping.
Secondly, for people like Lin Xi in this world, who are not from a big family who dress like ladies in ancient times, their words and deeds are very free and loose.
She didn't know any rules. It was said that the mother of the original body was from a poor family. She didn't know whether she had taught the original body, but she really didn't know how.
When she is at home, she speaks and acts very casually, and behaves as she pleases. When outside, she can still put on a show.
While eating this extremely sumptuous dinner, Lin Xi bit the corners of her chopsticks and narrowed her eyes. Thanks to the noble lady's blessing, tonight was another delicious meal.
This meal of meat and food was much better than what they had eaten in half a year. She was extremely satisfied and filled with emotion.
She must work hard so that she can live such a happy and prosperous life every day in the future.
With all kinds of thoughts, the meal ended slowly. Gu Qi held two large bowls of meat and carried a lot of white steamed buns and white rice in the bamboo basket. He turned around and followed his master step by step and said to Lin Xi:
"Miss Lin, if you have anything to do, just call next door and I will come over to help you immediately."
Lin Xi smiled and waved to him. Because before leaving, she asked Gu Qi to help her pour the third water, and at the same time, she dug out the sweet potato flour from the bottom of the tank and spread it on a bamboo flat to dry.
Lin Xi promised him that she would leave him the first bowl of delicious food, and Gu Qi left happily.
The boy was so complacent that he lost his alertness and didn't realize that his master had a somewhat displeased look on his face.
He has been carelessly immersed in the delicious food, unaware that starting from tomorrow, his first bowl of delicious food will be ruined.
