Chapter 113: Tribute to Sweet Potatoes (II)
(Sweet potato pile)
The tribute of the sweet potato is not a tribute in the Hokkien language, but the meaning of beating and beating.
Tribute sweet potatoes are a very interesting thing, first of all, use the clods of soil that are easy to break to build a hollow round mound, leave a hole for burning wood, and then use firewood to burn the soil to red, and then plug the hole, make a hole in the top of the mound, and then put the sweet potatoes to be tributed.
After the sweet potatoes are put down, the burned clods of soil are gently crushed on top of the sweet potatoes, and then buried with soil, and after a while, they are dug up, and the sweet potatoes have been cooked raw by the hot clods of soil and the charcoal left over from the firewood. Gong Sweet Potato: The sweet potato that comes out of Gong is very delicious.
Lelang: They did this kind of thing a lot when they were young, and they had more tricks.
When he came to the backyard, Le Lang cleared a place in the peanut field that had just been pulled out and set up a circular mound by himself. Below, use a few relatively large clods of soil as the foundation, and then make them smaller layer by layer. Le Lang set up the mound by himself, and asked those boys to pick up branches, in fact, there was no need to pick them up, there was a large pile in the corner of the backyard, which Le Lang used to burn firewood, but the tribute sweet potatoes could not use too large branches, so they had to pick them.
It is best to use the branches of the longan tree or lychee tree to burn the firewood of the tribute sweet potato, because the sweet potato burned with this branch seems to have a smell of longan and lychee, which is very good.
After a while, the mound was set up, Le Lang took the time to run back to the house, took the bag and filled some sweet potatoes in the Yuruyi space, and anyone could see that the fresh sweet potatoes were newly dug, but the children didn't care about these, they just had to eat them later.
After a while, the firewood was lit in the mound, the blazing firewood burned, and the smoke soon blackened the mound, Le Lang took a look, asked a few boys next to him to take care of the fire, and turned around and ran into the house.
Coming to the kitchen, Le Lang took out a large piece of sweet potato from the Yu Ruyi space and cut it into small thick skins, then took some eggs, and walked to the backyard.
Le Lang put things aside, used two thick branches to remove some of the clods on top of the mound, and then put the tiles on top, and when the tiles burned red, he put the chopped sweet potato chips on them. After a while, there was a strong sweet potato fragrance wafting out, he took out a bamboo branch and turned over the sweet potato chips, the sweet potato chips were cooked as soon as they were baked on the tiles, and Le Lang forked the sweet potato chips with a bamboo branch and brought them to his mouth and bit them.
"Wow," Le Lang Tai Monkey was anxious to be burned by the hot sweet potato chips, and couldn't help but cry. They looked at the stone eggs on the side and giggled.
San Lang saw Le Lang eating sweet potato chips, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said to Le [***]: "Uncle Ah Lang, Uncle Ah Lang, I want to eat too, I want to eat too." ”
Le Lang licked his lips, and after a while, he felt a little better, and when he heard San Lang's words, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you go get a bowl and come out." ”
"I'll get it," the stone egg on the side was already waiting impatiently, and ran out as if flying.
This roasted sweet potato chips, called tile sweet potato, tastes very good, think back then, Lelang they can make no less than a dozen kinds of tricks on this mound, when there are a lot of things such as barbecue, grilled fish, fried eggs and so on on this tile. Le Lang glanced at these boys who were watching him bake sweet potato chips next to him, and thought: Are these boys still tender?
Le Lang was roasting sweet potatoes with tiles, but those boys were eating over there, and they were very disciplined one by one, how did Le Lang feel like an old mother?
After roasting the sweet potatoes, a bunch of boys ran to the side to fill the belly monkeys, while Le Lang was guarding the mound.
Belly monkeys, that is, crickets. It's just a cricket that has just emerged from the soil, and its whole body is white. When the belly monkey climbs out of the hole, there will be a pile of fine soil particles next to it, which you can see at a glance. A group of little children poured water into the hole, and after a while, a monkey with a round belly would jump out of the hole, and the stupid head and brain would not run, and the child would catch it right without a moment.
Holding the belly monkey, the children frolicked around, and the stone egg next to it saw that one was not enough, so they waved their hands and rushed to the belly monkey cave next to it.
Le Lang was happy to see it, they didn't do this kind of thing when they were young.
The mound of soil has been burned red, and some clods of soil can't resist the high temperature of the firewood and "flutter" down, Le Lang saw that the firewood was removed, buried with soil, wrapped the eggs brought with mud, picked up the coals and threw them in, and covered them with coals, before blocking the hole, and then removing the tiles on it.
The boys on the side ran over when they saw the sweet potatoes they wanted tribute, and they didn't even want the belly monkey they caught. They followed Le Lang to throw the sweet potatoes in the bag one by one, and after throwing them, they gently smashed the red-hot mound with thick branches or sticks, piled them on top of the sweet potatoes, and then covered them with a thick layer of soil. This is the tribute sweet potato, and the mound of soil or the mound made of the tribute sweet potato is called the sweet potato pile.
The process of Gong Chicken is similar to that of Gong Sweet Potato, except that the chicken has to remove the hair and internal organs, and then wrap it with lotus leaves or taro leaves, paste a layer of soil on the outside, and then bury it in the middle of the coal, there must be charcoal under the coal, and then the red-hot clod of soil is broken and put on it, and the time should be a little longer than the sweet potato, otherwise it is not ripe.
The chicken that comes out of this way tastes different from any kind of [***] method, not only with the fragrance of the wrapped leaves but also a faint earthy smell, which is surprising, and you don't need anything to eat it, as long as you dip it in a sauce made of minced garlic, chili flakes and soy sauce, it is a rare delicacy.
Generally, the tribute sweet potatoes are in the wild, and it takes a while, some people feel too idle after paying tribute to the sweet potatoes and run out to play, want to wait a while and then come back to dig, but when they come back, they are dumbfounded, the sweet potatoes inside have already been dug up by others, maybe they are already in people's stomachs. This kind of thing, Lelang has not encountered many times before.
Therefore, after paying tribute to the sweet potatoes, you must dig them before leaving, this is the lesson that Lelang and their ordinary people have learned from their hardships, this is not just a bunch of white-eyed wolves for nothing. Think about it, I was frightened and worked hard to steal other people's sweet potatoes, and wasted the strength of nine cows, two tigers, ten tigers and nine cows to pay a bunch of sweet potatoes, and in the end I didn't have anything to do with myself, isn't this sad? The sad thing is that people eat your tribute sweet potatoes, maybe they are still calling you stupid?
However, there are not so many dirty things in Lelang's backyard, and these boys just eat and need to digest it, so Lelang shows them TV in the front hall, but obviously these kids' minds are not on TV.
After a while, I ran over to touch the mound, and after a while, I piled some soil on it, and after a while, I ran over and told you Uncle, the sweet potatoes are ripe and you can dig them, and you are very annoyed.
But Le Lang ignored them, sat there to make tea, and made a bunch of boys very anxious, and after a while, Le Lang saw that the time was almost up, so he shouted and walked out, and a bunch of boys immediately followed him.
Before Le Lang passed, a few boys had already rushed to the side of the mound, and dug up the soil layer skillfully, it seems that these boys have not paid less tribute to sweet potatoes, seeing these boys in a hurry, Le Lang couldn't help laughing.
Sweet potatoes were dug out one by one, some of the boys had already started to eat on the side, San Lang on the side didn't know how many they had eaten, his mouth was black, Le Lang took a look, and slowly picked out those eggs from the ashes of the mound.
I found a place, and sat on the ground with a few little children without a body, gently knocking on the surface of the soil that had been baked, and wiped it with his hand, anyway, it was all to be washed, and it was not dirty, and after wiping it clean, he slowly peeled off the egg shell, and a thick egg fragrance suddenly wafted out.
When a few boys smelled the smell, they immediately gathered around, and they all looked at him with a dumb eye, regardless of whether they were holding sweet potatoes in their hands and mouths. Le Lang bit the egg, and was a little ashamed to be looked at, one of them was given to them, but fortunately he took a few more out, and there were still two or three left in his hand.
"Okay, boy, you came here by yourself and ate something good." Huang Laodao walked in from the outside and couldn't find Le Lang, and when he heard the noisy sound behind him, he looked for it, and just saw Le Lang sitting on the ground with no body, eating eggs.
"You've got long legs." Le Lang joked at Lao Dao, took an egg from the side and handed it to Lao Dao, Lao Dao looked at it, he didn't know what they were doing, he opened the egg and ate it.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, in the cool courtyard, two adults and a few little children are leisurely eating tribute eggs and sweet potatoes, looking carefree, really envious of others.
