166.Chapter 166
Aunt Lei's eyes also flashed when she heard it, and she only looked at Mu Lingluo carefully.
Seeing her urging, Mu Lingluo only smiled slightly: "Okay, when we have prepared all the fruits, I will teach you the details." This sweet potato powder can not only be used to soak in water or make sugar, etc., but also can be made into sweet potato vermicelli, which I just told you about is sweet potato vermicelli. ”
When Aunt Lei and Mu Chanjuan heard this, they quickly cut the sweet potato cake, wrapped it in sesame oil, sesame seeds, etc., and then placed it in a dustpan to cover it with a dry cloth, as for the cool and dry corners, they didn't worry that it would break.
After waiting for it, the two of them surrounded him, only urging Mu Lingluo, "Okay, Ah Luo, we're all done." Isn't it possible to start teaching us? ”
Mu Lingluo smiled and said, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." This is made with fresh potatoes, and the process is a bit cumbersome. ”
So they began to prepare a lot of fresh potatoes, which were all washed. If you want to make sweet potato powder and then make vermicelli from it, the process is really not simple, but if it is cooked, it will not be difficult.
Mu Lingluo first asked Aunt Lei and Mu Chanjuan to grind the sweet potatoes, then pour them into clean water, repeatedly stir them by hand to precipitate the starch, and filter them with a muslin cloth to remove the coarse residue. This filtration process must be repeated three to four times to filter clean, and then the precipitated starch is left in the tank for half an hour to an hour, and then the upper layer of water is skimmed.
At this time, alum needs to be used, after all, just by shelving and waiting, it is not possible to properly filter all the water. However, the point is that there is no alum at home.
"There's a lot of water down there!" Mu Chanjuan hurriedly said, "Ah Luo, should we put it outside to dry?" ”
Mu Lingluo shook his head, "Although evaporation is a good process to ensure that the water volatilizes cleanly, it is inevitably too wasteful of time." It would be nice if there was alum, I didn't buy it last time I went to the medicine hall! ”
Alum is another name for alum, and it is only sold in pharmacies.
"That thing is cold, and you can't eat much, especially women. Aluo, what do you want that thing to do? Aunt Lei was puzzled.
"This alum is a good thing, and as soon as you put it in this muddy water, it will be clean and thorough. Although it is cold, we don't use it to eat, just put a little bit, and it can also prevent mosquito bites, clear heat and detoxify. Mu Lingluo is a doctor, so he naturally knows a lot about these, "It's just that there is no such thing at home now." By the way, let's go burn some plant ashes! I remember putting a lot of rice stalks on the ridges of the fields outside......"
"Ah Luo, what do you want grass ash for?" Mu Chanjuan's face turned red.
The ashes of the grass and trees were used to cushion the water when the woman came to menstruation. Ah Luo has never come, why do you suddenly want to burn the ashes of plants and trees?
"Use it. This plant ash is highly absorbent, wrap it in several layers of cloth, put it in a pot, and the water will be cleaned quickly. Mu Lingluo said happily.
She didn't think about Mu Chanjuan at all, if it was by chance. In the past, when she was a child, she stayed in the countryside, and a group of friends played, and it was inevitable that there would be times when she was injured and bleeding, and at that time they used plant ash or spider webs to stop the bleeding, and the effect was very good.
Aunt Lei saw that Mu Chanjuan was panicked, and seeing that Mu Lingluo didn't know anything about it, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Cheng, this is true, I'll go and prepare it for you." ”
Mu Chanjuan saw that Mu Lingluo really didn't know, and she also knew that she was young now, and she didn't know what to do with this plant ash, after all, she hadn't even come to Tianqi, and the shame in her heart was a little dissipated. She didn't know that Mu Lingluo had never used the menstrual belt used by the grass and wood ash at all, so she didn't think about it.
She couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable secretly when she saw Mu Lingluo's immature little face hanging down, and seeing Mu Lingluo so sensible. In fact, to put it simply, it's useless for her to be a sister, she used to be a strong pinch, but she has been trampled by the Mu family for so long, and she has been with Song Yan for a long time, and her temperament has also been rounded a lot.
Mu Lingluo didn't know what she was thinking, so she only told Mu Chanjuan what to do in the future, but Mu Chanjuan had something in her heart, so she didn't listen much.
Aunt Lei came back quickly, and used a handful of dustpans to pack a lot of freshly burned plant ashes, "Okay, Ah Luo, look at it, are these enough!" ”
"Enough, enough, thank you, auntie." Mu Lingluo hurriedly used the white cloth prepared by Mu Chanjuan to put the grass ash in the middle of the cloth and wrapped it in three layers to see that it would not leak out, so she carefully placed it on the starch surface of the basin and sucked up water over and over again.
It didn't take long for the little water left in the basin to be sucked up. She threw the white cloth to the side, and then divided the starch in the basin into several pieces and hung them in the cloth bag, until no water dripped out, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Success, this is wetland melon powder, we will use it now to make sweet potato noodles." ”
The process of making noodles is actually similar to making noodles with noodles, but the finished product is not quite the same.
First, the ingredients and thickener are mixed, and then the milky white paste and flour are mixed together to form a starch ball, and then extruded into shape, and then heat dissipation and shearing.
Fortunately, Aunt Lei and Mu Chanjuan will make peace, and then they are also handy, and they will ask Mu Lingluo in time if they don't understand, and when they put the first batch of successful sweet potato vermicelli in the dustpan to dry, it was already close to evening.
"If it looks crystal clear, will it really taste good? Can it really be sold for money? Aluo. Mu Chanjuan circled around the dustpan.
Mu Lingluo knew that Mu Chanjuan was not confident enough, and when she heard this, she only smiled and comforted: "When this is done, you will know it later." It is estimated that it is enough to dry it for a day. ”
Mu Chanjuan nodded, "Well, that's the same reason." I think they're coming back, so let's make dinner first! Tomorrow, the aunts will come over and cook for us, and they will be busy by then. ”
The so-called stove is the stove that should be lit up three days in advance of the housewarming wedding banquet, which means that the new home is also prosperous. And ask someone to help in advance, and prepare all the things that will be used for the banquet later, and there will be a lot of people at home tomorrow.
Because she was afraid of the Mu family, and because she was afraid that others would fish in troubled waters at home, Mu Chanjuan specially agreed to give the money to Mu Lingluo for safekeeping.
When Aunt Lei heard this, she hurriedly said: "Then I'll go back first, I still have three mouths at home waiting for me to feed!" You prepare dinner first, and I'll help tomorrow. As he spoke, he hurried to leave.
Mu Lingluo grabbed her, wrapped a paper bag of the sweet potato cake that she had started to make, and also wrapped a large piece of pork belly: "Auntie, I'm tired of your help today, these are all for Xiaozhu and Dazhu as snacks." ”
Mu Lingluo is not a person who treats people badly, or is not grateful. She may have taken Aunt Lei to do business, so that she could live a living life, but that was also Aunt Lei's diligence and ability, and she earned it herself. Now Aunt Lei is ignoring the work at home and coming to help her, and she is also grateful in her heart.
