022 How it tastes
Now that his stomach is too hungry, Tian Sangsang plans to make something first, and then make all kinds of tricks.
Sweet potato porridge is impossible, there is no rice at home, fried sweet potato chips and roasted sweet potatoes for dinner, the calories are too great, and in the summer, it is unbearable.
It would be nice if there were mung beans at this time~~~
Tian Sangsang shook his head, shook off this unrealistic idea, or something realistic. Where did the mung beans come from, did they fall from the sky?
So for now, you can only paste a few sweet potato cakes to fill your stomach.
To make sweet potato cakes, it is not only sweet potatoes are enough, but also white sugar, eggs, flour, etc., Tian Sangsang went to the storage room at home to find it, and they all have it. The eggs were placed in a small basket in the corner of the pantry, covered with a rag, no wonder she didn't find them yesterday.
Tian Sangsang picked four large sweet potatoes and washed them. Use a kitchen knife for each sweet potato, cut into five pieces and set aside. Then I poured water into the pot, lit firewood, and slowly waited for the fire to get bigger. Boiling water is a big project and very time-consuming, Tian Sangsang suddenly remembered the old electric kettle. Moreover, this family is also quite poor, there is not even a coal stove, there is a coal stove, boiling water and cooking can be carried out on both sides, saving trouble and effort.
Time is squeezed out little by little, and she has to clean up peanuts. Tian Sangsang stood up and patted the ash on his body. This time, Meng Shuyan disappeared again.
"Yanyan!" Tian Sangsang walked to the door and shouted anxiously. Her son was not in the house, but in the yard, and he pulled up a small stool and sat there pulling peanuts.
The tip of Tian Sangsang's nose began to pantothenic acid again, this bear child always taught her to worry.
"Mom, Mom, I'm messing with Huasen~" Meng Shuyan said with a smile, as if he liked to do this kind of thing very much, and his eyes were bent into small crescents, "I used to see that grandma did this." ”
"Then your grandmother didn't teach you that the peanuts should be cleaned before picking the soil?" Tian Sangsang went to the house and moved a bench to sit down beside him, and asked cordially: "Mom will break the soil clean, and you will pick it again, okay?"
Meng Shuyan nodded heavily, "Hmm!"
The light of dusk envelops the entire mountain village in twilight, and smoke can be seen in the distance. Reflecting the brilliant orange sunshine, Tian Sangsang looked at his son's immature little face and the action of seriously pulling peanuts, only to feel that the years were quiet and the present world was stable. It was like hearing a rooster barking, and it was like hearing a dog barking, and there were noisy human voices. She lowered her head and smiled, speeding up the movements of her hands, life can always go on.
After a while, Tian Sangsang returned to the hall to take a look, and the water was already boiling and steaming.
She washed her hands, poured the sweet potato chunks into the boiling water, covered the pot, and then went to take the peanuts that Meng Shuyan had picked up to the basket and rinse them with water, and then poured them into the basin and washed them one by one. These freshly unearthed peanuts are boiled and salted to make them taste very delicious.
After doing this, I went to drop some peanuts, and by this time, the sweet potato chunks were ripe.
Tian Sangsang used chopsticks to pick up the sweet potato pieces one by one into the iron basin, the sweet potatoes were ripe thoroughly, and the outer skin was soft and fluffy; he specially sandwiched three small pieces and put them in another small bowl, Tian Sangsang took them out, and said with a smile: "Yanyan, wash your hands, come and eat sweet potatoes." ”
Meng Shuyan's eyes were shining, he quickly washed his hands and stood in front of her obediently.
Tian Sangsang carried him to the chair and sat down, with a smile in his eyes: "You eat slowly, be careful of scalding, and my mother will give you pancakes." ”
"Mom, you eat too. Meng Shuyan tugged at her clothes and didn't let her go.
"Mom has already eaten it. Tian Sangsang explained with a smile. She was so hungry just now that she stuffed a piece directly into her stomach and didn't even chew a few times. Shame, fat man's stomach......
Peel the sweet potatoes, gather them together, mash them with a small wooden pestle, and then add flour, white sugar, already stirred egg liquid, and a spoonful of oil. Knead these into a dough, knead a small piece of dough with your hands, form a ball, press it down, press it into a round cake shape, and after it is formed, sprinkle a little flour on both sides.
Heat the iron pot, sprinkle some oil into it, put in five sweet potato cakes at a time, and start frying the cakes.
After a while, the pot of sweet potato cakes was fried thoroughly, and both sides turned golden brown. Tian Sangsang carefully picked them up and put them in a bowl, it was too hot when it was just baked, and it was easy to catch fire when she ate it, she planned to wait and then call Meng Shuyan to come in and eat. Then, it's a repeat process.
Sweet potato cakes are not a delicate thing, and every household makes them once in a while to try them.
When all the sweet potato cakes were pasted, Tian Sangsang roughly counted them, and there were about twenty.
"Yanyan, come in and eat. Tian Sangsang shouted outward.
Meng Shuyan washed his hands again and walked to the hall with his little short legs. As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a burst of potatoes. The little guy climbed onto the table and looked at the hot sweet potato cake with surprise in his dark eyes. It turned out that my mother could not only make gnocchi, but also pancakes. Fry it well.
Tian Sangsang tasted it just now, and it tasted good. She took one and blew on it, and put it on Meng Shuyan's mouth, and Meng Shuyan opened her small mouth and bit it.
"How's that, Yanyan, how does it taste?" looked at Meng Shuyan's bulging cheeks expectantly.
Meng Shuyan bit down, first felt that layer of crispy skin, and then touched the inside, warm, sweet, soft and glutinous, his peach blossom eyes were half squinted: "It's delicious, it's delicious~ Everything my mother makes is delicious~"
"If it's delicious, you eat more. Tian Sangsang Meizizi, who was affirmed, "I'll go and send some to your Grandma Zhong as well." ”
Tian Sangsang picked out 8 sweet potato cakes with good faces and put them on plates, and when she took her things to Aunt Zhong's house, it happened that their family was having dinner.
Aunt Zhong has two sons, Tian Yi has two sons, and Tian Yi's son Gou is leftover. Five people gathered around a table in the hall. It was porridge, a pickled sauerkraut, a steamed bun, a fried cabbage, a fried peanut, and nothing else, nothing else with oil. But they ate merrily.
"Sangsang, why are you here?" Aunt Zhong put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said very enthusiastically: "Have you eaten? ”
"yes. Tian Yi also said kindly: "Everyone is a neighbor, but it is rare for you to come once." ”
As soon as the words came out, Tian Sangsang saw the slightly discolored face of Tian Yi's daughter-in-law Li Xiaoqin.
Li Xiaoqin's hand reached under the ground and twisted Tian Yi's thigh. Why did she marry such a generous man!? What is it to eat at home, and add a big fat man!Ah? She and the dog don't have to eat?
Gou Yu looked at Tian Sangsang with a little hostility, and grabbed a steamed bun in his hand. He doesn't like this aunt, although he likes Meng Shuyan and often plays with Meng Shuyan. That's because Brother Yan is white and tender, and he is different from other children. But the is different, they all say that the is a pig, and his mother often calls this strange aunt fat pig in private. He really doubted that Meng Shuyan was the son of this strange aunt?
