Chapter 149: Konjac

Grandma patted her chest and said, "Ouch, this ghost TV is over, where is this "Approaching Science", this is simply "When I Am Scared to Death"! Good grandson sleeps in a room with me tonight!

Dad was also a little worried: "You said that Mr. Zhang took pictures of the old group fish like this, will it scare the villagers? This old group fish was brought by you, if the villagers are not happy, Piwa, you are a cat scratching glutinous cakes, and you can't take off your claws!"

The next day, when Li Junge walked his dog to the threshing floor, he found that there were many people, all of whom were discussing enthusiastically, and the topic did not leave the TV the night before.

"Did you watch that show yesterday?"

"Then you can still miss it, ouch is a little scary. ”

"What, it's a fake, I was right next to me at the time, it's not like that at all!"

"You don't come, but I know, you ran back in fright when you heard Piwa's old group of fish that day, and you didn't know it at all!"

"You go! I'm not scared, I'm not going to come back and tell you!"

"Do you think this film is really 'Approaching Science'? Why do I think it's propaganda superstition? ”

"That's it, you said that we secretly went to burn some woolen paper tonight, will the ancestor be angry?"

"Don't go, broadcast the second episode tonight, I'm going to keep it, Hongguang was on TV yesterday, look at his strength!"

"Yes, yes, yes, what do you say about this show, it makes people scared and worried!"

……

Seeing Li Junge coming, the villagers gathered around, and the first person to attack was Uncle Mingjiang: "Piwa, you are doing something again! Recruit all the TV stations! Look at Liangzi so scared that he doesn't even dare to come to the threshing floor!"

Li Junge grinned: "Where is it so evil, this show is this routine, first two episodes of clouds and mountains and fog cover the gods and gods, which makes you scared and want to watch it, and finally the answer will be announced! When the results come out, everyone will find out how simple and simple it is." ”

Uncle Smith said, "Why are there so many twists and turns in your belly? You quickly tell me what happened in the end, and I will go back and tell Liangzi first!"

Li Junge said: "Where do I know about this? I still want to know about other scientists!"

Then he said: "Don't worry, everyone, tonight will definitely let the old clan uncle be evil, the fox maid of the prudent Qinggong or something, maybe how mysterious it is." The key is the day after tomorrow, the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow, everyone eats moon cakes at home while watching the answer revealed, hehehe, this arrangement is really good. ”

"Piwa, what do you say about the old clan uncle? I saw it in the countryside, I don't know if it's waist, but the roots of this hair have really turned black!"

Li Junge only beat the drum in his heart when he heard this, so he had to casually play wow: "I also wonder about this, I don't understand it at all! Anyway, there will definitely be a scientific explanation at that time." ”

That night, as Li Junge expected, the topic of Li Jiagou in this episode was even more mysterious, and Old Man Li reproduced his performance on the day of the evil spirit. Then there are four grandfathers who took Teacher Zhang to check the information, and then they also performed the part where the fox fairy worships Shen Qinggong, and finally there are many interviews with villagers, one by one, they are vivid, and they are blind if they don't go to the starting point to write a book.

On the contrary, it is the part where Li Junge takes the group fish to the car, which is not easy to reproduce, and it is not filmed, but it is only mentioned in the description of Mr. Zhang's live broadcast room.

On the third day, the curiosity of the entire Li Jiagou reached its highest point, and they were all looking forward to the revelation of the answer.

Li Junge didn't go out to hang out that day, but Shirly and Alice came over.

"Huh, you two are not members of the Standing Committee of the village committee, what are you doing here?"

Shirly said: "Zuzu said that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we are here to wish the fifth grandmother a happy birthday. ”

Li Junge had a black line in his head: "It's a happy holiday! I'm addicted to eating nine bucket bowls, right?"

Alice said, "We haven't settled accounts with you yet, I heard that you ran up the mountain again, and you didn't take us with you!"

Li Junge said: "It's not that I don't take you, it's that you really can't go there, now there is a yacht in the water park, let's go on a yacht tomorrow." ”

At this time, the grandmother came out, holding the dustpan for making needlework in her hand, and said with a smile: "Two good girls, come, sit next to the fifth grandmother, and we will continue to do needlework." ”

"What?" Li Junge's mouth opened widely: "Are you going against the sky?"

Alice sat down with Shirly, and took the yellow wax and rubbed the cotton thread in style, Alice said: "The fifth grandmother said, the women of Li Jiagou are not popular, then they are not perfect women, we see the five grandmothers sitting at the door every day to do needlework, there is a taste of ageing gently, so we also come to learn." ”

It's like the real thing, the needle will be exposed, it turns out that these two have learned to make cotton threads, and the stitches are called one can't be seen.

Li Junge couldn't bear to be surprised, turned his head and said, "Didn't I say that you are not college students? Why don't you need to take credits? Doesn't it mean that American universities are wide and strict, and attendance exams must be counted as credits?"

Shirly rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you know that we are top students? I told my tutor that we were going to visit China, and the tutor agreed, as long as she gave her two reports when she went back, she would be considered to have completed the credits." ”

Li Junge remembered the degree of freedom when he was helping out in Sun Lao's director's teaching and research department when he was an undergraduate, as long as he didn't fail the subject, he could not go to the classroom for a semester, and he was relieved, and the privilege of the scholar was incomprehensible.

Alice was very excited: "We started to think about how to fool the tutor, and we just translated two copies of the intangible cultural heritage materials prepared by Sister Liang and Sister Ayin, and the tutor let us continue to stay in Lijiagou." ”

Li Junge's face was black: "You guys have made a mistake again! You should be called Auntie! Anyway, why is your tutor so good at talking? What kind of major are you?"

"Our specialty is the study of traditional Chinese culture," says Alice. ”

Li Junge haha: "Speaking of which, the fourth grandfather is qualified enough to be the mentor of your mentor! No wonder you two don't care if you two are left here." ”

At this time, I saw Wang Xiaosong coming over with a duck and said, "Baobao! The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, my father asked me to bring you a duck!"

Li Junge touched his head and said, "Your father is so polite." Wait a minute, godfather will give you a gift too. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small straight knife from the back room and said, "Big baby, give you this to play with, you can only cut it, but you can't cut things, the edge of the blade is thin, and the random chopping is going to break the blade!"

This is one of the mountain running equipment that Li Junge and the young man in the CNC center partnered with powder steel scraps last time, and Li Junge was equipped with a cowhide scabbard with a horn handle, which was a Mid-Autumn Festival gift to Wang Xiaosong.

"You can just play at home, but you can't bring it to school, and when you're older, your godfather will take you to run the mountain!"

Wang Xiaosong jumped three feet high: "Yes, I can also be a mountain runner! Thank you, godfather!"

Li Junge said: "Go, also tell your father happy Mid-Autumn Festival, collect the boat early today, and eat hemp cakes and watch the moon at night!"

Wang Xiaosong ran away, and Li Junge remembered something and shouted: "The knife is always oiled! Don't get rusty!"

……

Wang Xiaosong left, and only then did Shirly ask, "Jungle, what do you mean by Baobao?"

Li Junge said: "Baobao, it's a godfather, we Shuzhou people think that it is not enough for a child to have only one father, and they also need other men to take care of it, so they have to pull a baobao, do part of the father's responsibility, and help their children grow up healthily." ”

As if remembering something, Alice took out an orange and peeled it, stuffed a petal into her mouth, and then said in English: "Don't say your ideals easily, don't give others the opportunity to laugh at you." ”

Li Junge pressed his finger on her cheeks, pressed the orange petal back into her mouth, and said with a smile: "You are playing this godfather, and we call it Brother Pao!"

Picking up a hoe, he said to the sisters, "Let's go, and show you a magical ingredient." ”

The two sisters came to a plant by the fish pond, the plant had a pale green tender pole, and there were many lilac spots on it, and the leaves wanted to magnify the banyan leaves many times, but they were more tender.

The most special thing is that the stem of the long leaf is wrapped around a narrow circle of leaves.

Li Junge said: "This is konjac, after processing can be made into konjac pieces, we want to eat duck in Shuzhou Mid-Autumn Festival, this konjac roasted duck is a famous dish in Shuzhou." ”

After saying that, he started digging on the edge of the konjac, and after a while, he dug out a brown ball the size of a bucket bowl from the bottom of the konjac stem.

Li Junge said: "This is konjac, don't look at it now, you can make half a pot of konjac!"

Returning to the back of the kitchen with the two sisters, Li Junge said to them: "Just watch me do it, this thing is also itchy for your hands, and direct contact will itch you to death." ”

Put a plastic bag on one side of his hand, Li Junge washed the konjac and beat off the skin, cut it into strips with a kitchen knife, and took it to the shed next to the fish pond and beat it into konjac pulp with a beater.

Then the most important thing is to rinse the machine with plenty of water, otherwise it would be bad if you want to eat soy milk tomorrow morning, and the remaining konjac milk will be mixed in.

Carrying the konjac syrup to the kitchen, Li Junge took some alkali powder and hydrated it to open the side, then added enough water to the konjac syrup, and then poured the diluted konjac syrup into the cauldron and began to boil the konjac paste.

The key is to stir quickly and continuously.

After boiling until the konjac paste begins to become translucent, and the paste is formed and bubbles, start to change the heat to low, and then slowly add alkaline water.

The hand that stirred had to keep the same speed.

The alkaline water is poured slowly, and the shovel stirs quickly, just such a trick, but it is also simple.

After the alkaline water is stirred evenly, completely extinguish the firewood and let the konjac paste in the pot cool and solidify.

Wait until the konjac paste is completely condensed, pour a scoop of cold water along the edge of the pot, then use a kitchen knife to cut it down and cut the konjac into cubes along the bottom of the pot.

The water becomes the separator of the konjac blocks, so that the konjac is separated piece by piece.

Use a spatula to shovel down the bottom of the pot so that the konjac is completely separated from the bottom of the pot.

Add a large pot of boiling water and boil the konjac pieces for a few minutes, and the konjac pieces will become more elastic and tough.

Then soak it in a large bucket of cold water, and the konjac is ready.

This konjac is actually ready to eat, cut into thin slices and dipped in seasonings directly, it is a fragrant vegetarian dish.

But today, Li Junge wants to make konjac roasted duck.
