The persimmon tree is not very tall, and everyone can pick the persimmon fruit smoothly by standing on tiptoe or breaking the branches with their hands. Generally speaking, in order to grow delicious persimmons and ensure www.biquge.info yield, most of them will use the method of grafting, select good persimmon branches, and inoculate them into jujube trees or walnut trees, so that the persimmons that grow have obvious advantages, and there are few insect pests, and the yield is guaranteed.

But for Yunli, who has a wooden magnetic array in hand, these steps can be omitted, and high-quality persimmons can still be grown, and Aunt Fang also has a very unique feeling for persimmons, while picking, she exclaimed: "Look at these little guys, all of them are yellow, they make people like it, they are better than those sold in the supermarket, it seems that the little devils are now experts." ”

Yunli took the basket and helped her pick up the persimmons behind Aunt Fang, and said with a smile: "Speaking of experts, Aunt Fang, you are, I haven't eaten the persimmon porridge you boiled for a long time, as well as persimmons, my stomach keeps drumming when I think of it, I don't believe you come to listen." ”

"Who told you not to come back, I still remember when you were a child, there was a whim who wanted to eat persimmon porridge, but at that time in the winter, there were no fresh persimmons to sell, but you just have to play temper, stubborn, and finally the lily is smart, thinking of using persimmons instead, we boiled a pot of persimmon porridge for you to eat, but the little ghost is picky, tasted the taste wrong, and wondered if we used the bad persimmon to cover you, but was held by the lily by the neck, the whole pot of porridge was eaten, and the whole night of sleep was full of burps, It's funny when I think about it now, remember? Aunt Fang recalled with a smile, and even Lu Ci couldn't help laughing.

Although he was still young at that time, Yunli still had some impressions, and blushed and begged for mercy: "Eh, don't take out the things you did when you were a child and make fun of me, and this guy Lily, every time you eat persimmon porridge, you have to rob it with me, but that time it was all given to me, and I was forced to eat it all, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot it, see when you have to get this one back." ”

Aunt Fang glanced at Yunli and said with a smile: "No one will rob you this time, wait for me to go back and boil a big pot, if you don't finish it, I will learn how to deal with you like Lily." ”

Yun Li shook his head when he heard this, looking like he didn't dare to make a mistake, as if he was afraid that Aunt Fang would really deal with him like this, which made Aunt Fang laugh. And Lu Ci rarely sees Yun Li so lively, in her impression, Yun Li has always been a very calm person, rational and wise, neither humble nor arrogant, maybe only in front of the closest people, he will show his most natural side, undisguised, unrestrained.

Aunt Fang's hometown is in a place rich in persimmons in the north, every time it comes to this season, every household will boil persimmon porridge and make persimmon cakes, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it doesn't matter if you don't eat moon cakes, but you can't do without persimmon porridge, which is the most simple yearning of the hometown people.

At this time in previous years, Aunt Fang would go to buy a lot of persimmons and come back, boil persimmon porridge for everyone to eat, and take the children in the welfare home to make persimmon cakes together, and when the persimmons are ready, they will distribute them to people in other welfare institutions, so that the children can learn to share and dedicate, which is the memory that Yunli and Lily will never forget.

"Ah Ci, do you have any special customs for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past?" Aunt Fang asked curiously, after a few days of contact, Aunt Fang and Lu Ci don't have much strangeness, although Lu Ci usually doesn't talk much, and always shows people with a cold and cold appearance, but Aunt Fang knows that she is a good girl who is understanding, but this quality is not reflected in words, but in subtle behaviors.

Lu Ci hesitated for a moment before replying: "In the past, every Mid-Autumn Festival, we would buy a few big grapefruit and use the grapefruit peel to cook and eat, you shouldn't have heard of this custom, right?" ”

"Yuzu peel can still be eaten? The smell of that thing is choking enough, and I've played with that skin before, and if you tear it up, oil will splash out, and it will be uncomfortable to get it in your eyes and nose. Hearing Lu Ci say about eating grapefruit peel, Yun Li exclaimed curiosity and told the story of himself and grapefruit peel.

Aunt Fang smiled and said sarcastically: "You know how to play, how many times have you been in the kitchen since you were a child?" This grapefruit peel is a good thing, you can turn it into a delicious thing if you know how to handle it, and the sister-in-law Chen who used to do hygiene in the yard can make this grapefruit peel very delicious, and I have also learned a little, and I will go back next time to find a few grapefruit to try for you. ”

After coming to Xiaolushan, Yunli's cooking skills have improved a lot, although Lu Ci lives in, and the daily three meals are handled by her, but Yunli will also cook and help from time to time, and he is still quite confident in his skills, and was questioned by Aunt Fang like this, and immediately retorted: "Not to mention, even if this year, I will definitely enter the kitchen more times than you, and I have also studied a few exclusive dishes, not my princess sells melons, sells herself and boasts, people who have tasted it say good, don't believe you ask Ah Ci." ”

Yun Li said it confidently, Aunt Fang looked at Lu Ci with a half-believing look, wanting to ask to prove the truth of the facts, but the answer she got was the word "can eat", which made her bend over and laugh happily. And Yunli also blushed, not knowing how to refute it, thinking that everyone had eaten the dishes he made before, and they only said that they were good out of compliments, but not really that delicious, and this time he began to doubt his craftsmanship.

In the laughter, the three of them filled the baskets they brought before turning back, making Yunli a little regretful, few of the sweet orange trees planted at the same time had hanging fruits, and the quality of the fruits was not very good, the fruits were small, the flesh was dry and hard, the taste was sour, and the sweet oranges were not hooked at all.

However, this is also the expected situation, his batch of sweet orange trees is American sweet orange, the climate and soil requirements are very high, it is normal not to adapt to the environment here in Xiaolushan, the so-called south orange and north orange, this batch of sweet orange trees can grow very good, I believe that with the improvement of the wood magnetic array, as well as the transformation of soil quality, the tree will grow big and sweet oranges sooner or later.

After returning to the bamboo building, Aunt Fang started to make persimmon porridge, Lu Ci helped on the side, and Yunli went to the town to buy materials, according to Aunt Fang's requirements, he chose two big grapefruit with sharp heads and round stocks, he wanted to see how this grapefruit peel was transformed into delicious through skillful hands.

There are not many materials needed to make persimmon porridge, in addition to fragrant rice and fresh persimmons, but also to add wolfberry, red dates, mung beans these ingredients, according to the different tastes of each person, you can also put chicken, scallops and these meat seafood to increase the level of taste, but it does not mean that these materials are all added, boiled on high heat, you can be done, a pot of good persimmon porridge, in addition to having fresh materials, the steps of boiling and the control of the heat are also very important.

Aunt Fang knew that Lu Ci had the intention of learning, so she taught her hand in hand, and patiently explained: "Before putting in the ingredients, the porridge water should be boiled until it is half-cooked, and when you see that the rice grains are just about to bloom, it will be just right, and the porridge water should be a little thinner, look at my pot, it is just right, and now you can put in the materials." ”

Lu Ci carefully wrote down the essentials of the steps, took the prepared materials, and handed them to Aunt Fang, only to see Aunt Fang put the mung beans in first, boil them over high heat until they are soft and ripe, add wolfberries and crushed red dates, turn the heat down, stir evenly, and then put in the diced persimmon meat and a little rock sugar, simmer for a few minutes, and then you can taste it out of the pot.

Aunt Fang boiled a big pot, not only Yunli and Lu Ci, but also other employees of the manor could also get a big bowl, after everyone tasted it, they all praised it endlessly, and it was reflected in the action, a large pot of persimmon porridge was quickly eaten up, Shen Hong was still unsatisfied, and flattered Aunt Fang to teach her the secret recipe, threatening that after she learned it, she could be her own boss and open a persimmon porridge restaurant, the business would definitely be prosperous, and Aunt Fang was very happy.

After eating persimmon porridge, Aunt Fang then started to make persimmons, the steps are not difficult, first to peel off the skin, and then put it in the oven to bake, the water quickly evaporated, this process can only be dried naturally by the sun before, it is a time-consuming and laborious work, it will be more troublesome in rainy days, and now through advanced means, these cumbersome processes can be greatly reduced.

After the persimmon is dehydrated and softened, it is necessary to knead and shape it by hand, generally it is made into a flat shape, and then it is necessary to bake it again, pay attention to the point, and take it out to dry it every once in a while, the persimmon made can be preserved for a long time, and it will slowly precipitate a white powder on the surface, a special substance called persimmon cream, which has a peculiar effect on sore throat, is a good thing, and this is also an important indicator for judging the quality of persimmon.

The three of them worked until dark, when they turned the persimmons into the prototype of persimmons, put them in the refrigerator for storage, and then bake and dry them for a few days before they could be eaten.

In order to regain some confidence, Yun Li was mainly in charge of dinner, while Aunt Fang went to cook the grapefruit peel. In fact, there is a tradition of eating grapefruit peel in many places, and the method varies from place to place, but the method of how to remove the irritating bitterness of the skin is similar.

The reason why it is bitter is because the skin of grapefruit is rich in a vegetable glycerin, which smells fragrant and bitter in the mouth, but this vegetable oil is a good thing, it can be used as a spice, applied to the skin, and can also remove red rashes and mosquito repellent. Not only the skin, but also the skin and flesh also have a small amount of this vegetable glycerin, peeling can not completely remove the bitter taste, so the first step is to put the grapefruit peel on the charcoal fire to grill, and use the heat to force out the oil, which can effectively remove most of the vegetable glycerin in the skin and flesh.

After the barbecue, you have to use a knife to peel off the skin, leave the white meat part, put it in boiling water to cook soft, and then take out the white meat and wring out the water, which can basically remove the bitter and astringent taste, and then put it into ice water to soak, according to the taste, put in sugar, rice wine and other seasoning materials.

In the ice water, the grapefruit peel will gradually become fluffy and refreshing, and it can be used to cook and eat at this time, Aunt Fang asked Lu Ci about the taste she liked, and made three different dishes with this grapefruit peel, which are stuffed meat with grapefruit peel, spicy fried fresh mushroom grapefruit peel and cold fruit and vegetable grapefruit peel, because the steps of this grapefruit peel processing are too cumbersome, Yunli has cooked several dishes, and the two of them are still busy with their heads, and when the official meal starts, it is already very late.
