No matter which village he went to, it was as grand as welcoming foreign guests, and all the village cadres in the village were waiting for introductions, handshakes, etc., and Zhang Fan was quite speechless.

"Hello Old Master Yang! Zhang Fan got out of the car and hurriedly went over to help the owner of Yang Zhuang, an old man in his eighties.

"Readers just don't talk the same. Or you Zhangjiazhai are blessed to have an outstanding young man like you. If you don't bother, you can also help us Yangyizhuang, the village is not as good as day by day. ”

After speaking, he introduced Zhang Fan to the people around him, such as the village party secretary of Yang Yizhuang.

Zhang Fan also had enough patience to shake hands individually, try to make a note of their faces, and keep a smile on his face.

"Don't crowd around, let's all disperse?" Yang Mao shouted to the surrounding villagers. There are too many people around, which makes Zhang Fan a little uncomfortable. Yang Mao's age, if he didn't have any eyes, he would have lived in vain.

Immediately afterwards, the owner of Yang Zhuang greeted Zhang Fan warmly. In order to make Zhang Fan more comfortable, he simply went to Yang Hong's house, that is, Zhang Fan's aunt's maiden house.

Yang Hong's family, except for the children who are studying, everyone else is at home, and even Yang Hai, who went out to buy cow dung, that is, Zhang Fan's second uncle, also came back.

The family had already started cooking, and had invited neighbors to come over to help, killing chickens, ducks, and so on.

Yang Hong, an old man who is not yet sixty years old, is making tea at home, waiting for the arrival of his grandson, although he is not his own grandson, but only the cousin of his own granddaughter, but their family is very grateful to Zhang Fan.

"Grandpa, I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself. After Zhang Fan entered the house, he saw Yang Hong coming over with tea, and hurriedly walked over.

"Sit here, what's polite? Xiaoxin, that girl, I've never been polite here. The old man said with a smile.

After speaking, I invited the old owner to sit on it. Although he is also an old man, he is even younger than the old owner. Moreover, he respected the old farmer very much.

"Eh! just say hello to Xiaofan. The old farmer laughed.

Before, he called Zhang Fan once to be Boss Zhang, which made Zhang Fan honestly afraid, saying that it was okay to call him Xiaofan.

Others, on the other hand, sat down on small benches in order. Yang Feng served tea and poured water one by one, the house was a little crowded, and all the people in the village came, I am afraid it was the first time that his family had such a face.

Suddenly, a woman outside came in and asked, "Are you still doing that jelly grass?"

She is a little strange, the cold powder is not a good dish in their countryside, is it?

The lower part of the stem is lying on the ground, the upper part is erect, the leaves are ovate or ovate-oblong, the apex is slightly blunt, the base is gradually contracted into a stalk, the edge is small serrate, there are sparse hairs on both sides, the leaves born in the upper part of the inflorescence are smaller, bract-like, ovate to inverted triangle, shorter than the flower, the base is often lavender, and falls off when fruiting.

It is an important medicinal and edible plant resource. The whole herb contains polysaccharides, which have the functions of dissipating heat, clearing heat, cooling blood and detoxifying. Folk often use its stem to add water to decoction, and then add thin starch to make jelly to eat, that is, everyone knows "cold powder", is an excellent food to quench thirst in the summer.

And the origin of the jelly is that the poor family first ate it in order to solve the problem of hunger.

You know, in the past, food was precious. When the grain harvest is low, the only way to get food from the wild is to find a way to eat. Liangfen is made of wild Liangfen grass, which can fill the stomach, consume little food, and gradually get the love of the people.

She didn't know that Zhang Fan's second aunt called back and revealed that Zhang Fan likes to eat cold noodles. So, Yang Hong rushed to the dew early in the morning to cut back the wild jelly grass.

The two daughters-in-law of the family went to Zhangjiazhai to help Zhang Fan work, and all the things that make cold powder can only ask the neighbor's woman.

I have to say that there are no women in the house, and sometimes it is really inconvenient, such as doing these household chores. In the past two months, almost all three of them have been at home.

The children are all in school, the eldest and second are almost all running outside during the day, and he is the only one in most of the house. In the past, the eldest and the second family were at home, and he felt that his children had no future, so he didn't go out to fight.

But they were all working outside, and Yang Hong felt that the house was too lonely. If he hadn't been busy overseeing the progress of his own building, I'm afraid it would have been boring.

Now, he is looking forward to his grandson and granddaughter coming home from vacation, and the family is lively.

And now, Zhang Fan's arrival also makes him very happy.

"Do, Xiaofan likes to eat, make it better. The old man shouted angrily.

"I used to like to eat cold noodles! I have honey at home, go get some and make it, it's not much worse than honey. At this time, it is just right to eat jelly. The old farmer laughed.

The jelly made of jelly grass, accompanied by honey, sugar or soy sauce chili water, is smooth and refreshing, with a unique flavor, which can quench thirst and satisfy hunger, and can be eaten for a long time, with the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, lowering blood pressure and anti-cancer.

Zhang Fan said in a loud voice: "Don't bother, right? just get two to eat, and it's not from anywhere, what's polite?"

He knows that it is not easy to make jelly, and he saw his aunt do it when he was a child.

Come to think of it, you can't make plants into slippery, refreshing, jelly-like foods without a little patience.

Just grinding rice milk is quite annoying, although the jelly is made of jelly grass as the main material, but without the rice milk match, it can't be made.

He vaguely remembered that he needed to soak the jelly grass in water first, and then put it down and add water to the pot to boil the jelly grass until soft. After cooking, keep the juice in the pot for later use, take out the jelly grass in the pot, and when you take it out, get the gelatinous substance on the grass into the juice in the previous pot, and then take the water a second time.

After taking out the jelly grass and letting it cool, then put it in clean water and rub it to bring out the essence. At this point, the impatient will not be able to hold on.

Mix the second pass of water with the juice from the previous pot and pour together. Then use the slag bag to separate the slag in the juice, and at the end of the bag, there will be slag left, and the juice can be boiled in the pot.

When cooking, stir constantly, otherwise it will stick to the bottom of the pan.

Then, mix the sticky rice noodles with water, not sticky, but liquid, and pour them into the pot when the juice is almost cooked, and continue to stir. If there are large bubbles on the surface of the juice, it means that it is cooked, and if you want to remove the bubbles, they are all dirty.

Finally, pour the juice into a container and wait for it to cool and solidify before it is done. When thoroughly cooled, the product is a crystal clear, elastic black-green food, which is cut into small pieces.

"What's the trouble? Familiar with it, do it often, quickly. The old farmer waved his hand.

In order to greet Zhang Fan, not to mention simple cold noodles, I just want to eat wild boar, and I also organized everyone to go into the mountains to fight and come out to eat.
