After she got home, she said to her attendant Qing Huan, "Huan Huan, please wait for me. I'll go back to the house to get the basket."
Shi Qinghuan nodded after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she stood at the door waiting for Wang Ailan.
A few minutes later, Wang Ailan came out of the house with a basket on her back, and then she said to Shi Qinghuan, "Let's go."
"good."
More than ten minutes later, Shi Qinghuan and Wang Ailan came to the vegetable field, and then Shi Qinghuan asked Wang Ailan: "Aunt Wang, what vegetables should we pick today?"
"Beans and eggplants, I pick the beans and you pick the eggplants."
Shi Qinghuan said hello after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she went to pick eggplants with a basket.
When she had picked a basket of eggplants, she asked Wang Ailan, "Aunt Wang, how many eggplants do you want to pick?"
"You picked everything you could."
"Okay." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, she poured all the eggplants in the basket into the basket, and then she went back to the field to continue picking eggplants. She didn't finish until she had picked all the eggplants in the field. stop.
"Have you finished picking all the eggplants?" Wang Ailan came out of the field holding a bundle of beans and asked her attendant Qinghuan.
"We've finished picking. Have you picked the beans yet?"
"It's all picked. This is the bundle in my hand."
"Then should we go back now or pick some other vegetables?"
"Go back now, while the sun is shining, let's dry the eggplant and beans."
"Then give me the beans, otherwise it will be difficult for you to walk while carrying eggplant and beans."
After hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, Wang Ailan was not polite to Shi Qinghuan. She directly stuffed the beans into the basket brought by Shi Qinghuan. Then she picked up the eggplant and walked home with Shi Qinghuan.
After she got home, she asked Qinghuan, the waiter, "Huanhuan, are you going to prepare the vegetables at my house and take them home to dry, or are you going to take the vegetables home and process them."
"Just take care of the food right here, otherwise I won't take care of it even if you take it back."
Wang Ailan said hello after hearing Shi Qinghuan's words, and then she asked Shi Qinghuan to help her cut the eggplant into one centimeter thin slices, while she went to boil water to blanch the beans.
After more than ten minutes, Wang Ailan boiled the beans, and then she dried the beans on the clothes pole. Then she returned to the living room and asked the waiter Qinghuan: "Huanhuan, how many eggplants are there left to cut?"
"There are probably seven or eight more."
"Then you continue cutting, and I'll cut the salt for you first."
Shi Qinghuan said hello after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then she speeded up cutting the eggplant.
After she cut the remaining eggplants, she asked Wang Ailan, "Aunt Wang, how do you dry these eggplants into dried vegetables?"
"It's very simple. First cut the eggplant into slices and salt it for half an hour to remove the moisture. Then put the eggplant in the pot and steam it for five minutes. Finally, take the eggplant out of the pot to cool down and then put it in the sun to dry. In two or three days, the dried eggplant will be ready.”
"that's all?"
"What else would you do otherwise?"
Shi Qinghuan laughed twice after hearing Wang Ailan's words, and then said: "It's quite simple, what about the beans?"
"It's even simpler. Just boil a pot of water, add a spoonful of salt to the pot, put the beans in the pot and blanch them until they turn green. Finally, take the beans out and hang them on a clothes pole to dry in the sun for a few days. , the dried beans are ready.
So if you want to eat dried vegetables in the future, just dry them like this. Basically, there are just these few steps to drying vegetables. "
