Chapter 35 Making Dried Sweet Potatoes

Lin He wanted to dig such a small piece of sweet potatoes first, and the sweet potatoes he brought home could be made into sweet potato chips, and the rest would wait a few days for his father and eldest brother to dig a cellar at home, and then dig these sweet potatoes, and then a lot of things at home in winter could be stored in it, and they were not afraid that they would break.

The next day, Lin He took his family to plan to make sweet potato chips, and making sweet potato chips mainly depends on whether the weather is good or not.

Lin He first asked people to take the sweet potatoes to the river to be washed, one by one to be carefully cleaned, after cleaning, Lin He planned to make two kinds, one is to peel and the other is not to peel, Lin He asked Huang to take Chen'er to remove the skin of a box of sweet potatoes first.

Another basket was put in a pot and boiled with water, so that Dabao burned the fire, and the fire was prosperous, remembering that Xiaobao said that he wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so he threw a few sweet potatoes into the stove. After a while, when the sweet potatoes in the pot were almost rotten, Lin He dug out the sweet potatoes in the stove, and the smell of roasted sweet potatoes immediately came out, making people want to drool when they smelled it.

After eating, Lin He took out the white sugar at home, originally there was no white sugar at home, when he went to buy something when he was making a house, Lin He spent some money to buy some white sugar back, the white sugar at this time was very expensive, and it was not as good as the white sugar in the previous life, but it could still be used.

Then pick them out one by one, put them in a clean place, and then use a kitchen knife or other clean things to crush the sweet potatoes one by one, put the sugar in them, and then use a wooden stick to stir the sugar and sweet potatoes together. Finally, use a wooden board that was originally prepared to make a mold, so that there are pieces on the mold, and wait until it is dried, this is the sweet potato chips with skin.

The other can be made into dried sweet potatoes, this one is a little simpler, as long as the sweet potatoes are peeled and boiled, without pressing, and then cut off piece by piece, cut into small pieces, so that it is dried sweet potatoes.

Both tastes the same, just different looks. Here, Dabao and Lin He had just finished the sweet potato chips, and over there, Huang and Lin Chen had already cut the sweet potatoes, and Dabao and Lin He made those sweet potatoes into dried sweet potatoes, and then they just waited to be exposed to the sun.

The sweet potato chips that came out were crystal clear and cute when they were dried in the sun, Xiaobao looked at the drool, and asked Lin He when he could eat it, Lin He said that he would have to wait a few days to dry before he could eat it, and he wanted to dry it in the sun like this, and if it was dried, it was easier to store it, and it was okay to put it for a long time, if it was not dried, the sweet potato chips would be moldy.

If it is slightly dried for two days, as long as you pick up a piece that is not rotten, you can also eat it, but there is no chewiness, Lin He still thinks that the dried sweet potato chips are delicious, and the dried sweet potatoes should not be too dry, if they are not too dry, they will be hard, and they can't bite it. Sweet potatoes can be eaten when they are dried for eight minutes, with a little chewiness and not too hard.

Lin He put all the dried sweet potatoes he got at home in the courtyard, put a few wooden boards in the courtyard, spread some hay on the wooden boards, and put the sweet potato chips on top of the hay. It's easier to dry out this way.

Lin He saw the rarity of his family's dried sweet potatoes, and felt a little strange, isn't there anyone in this era who can make these things, this is very simple, and there is no need for any additional materials, Lin He thought about it, and felt that it was actually a matter of course.

In the eyes of a modern person is so, but in ancient times it was not the case, many people in modern times regard eating as a kind of enjoyment, sometimes eating vegetables, the dishes are made like a work of art, people are reluctant to eat with chopsticks, but in ancient times, eating is just to fill the stomach, and even the era when the meal is not full, who will make food to eat, to make snacks to eat.

And the two boxes of sweet potatoes can be eaten for several days if the family makes food to eat, can this made of dried sweet potatoes still be eaten as rice, how much do you have to eat to be full, and how many people are willing to buy the sugar in it. If it weren't for the family's love for her, where would she be so tormented.

Lin He thought that if these dried sweet potatoes were sold on the street, someone should buy them, think about it is a good way, these dried sweet potatoes will be dried, and let Dabao take them to sell them.

Lin He told Huang his thoughts, and Huang felt that it should be possible, and the sweet potatoes were not needed for money at home, but they spent money to buy sugar, and if they couldn't sell it, they wouldn't waste anything, so let Lin He and Dabao take them to see in a few days, although they couldn't make a lot of money, they could also make some small money.

The main thing is that Lin He wants to see the reaction of others to these novelty snacks in this era, if the reaction is good, Lin He wants to wait for himself to have money and open a food shop, in his previous life Lin He liked to study some food, especially desserts, and he can open such a shop in the future, the profit should be considerable, and the recipe is in his own mind, and it is more difficult for others to imitate the same.

But these are the next words, now let's see how this goes, and then there is such a large field of sweet potatoes at home, people who eat it every day want to vomit, if this can be sold, the money just in exchange can buy other grains to eat, the more Lin He thinks about it, the more he feels that his idea is okay.

Taking advantage of the sweet potatoes in the past few days, Lin He plans to let Lin Erniu and Dabao dig the cellar at home, there is no refrigerator in ancient times, and the ground can't be put away for too long, all of which are piled up in the yard, one is not fresh, and the other is that in the end I don't know how much to waste, this is much better with the cellar, this winter's sweet potatoes, cabbage, radishes and other vegetables and fruits can be put in, which can be kept fresh.

Lin Erniu also felt very novel when he heard Lin He talk about this cellar, and carefully asked Lin He how to dig the cellar, how big and deep to dig, and what to do, and asked in detail.

Lin He explained to him one by one, Lin Erniu plans not to go to the field in the next few days, and dig out the cellar at home with Dabao, in fact, the principle of digging the cellar is very simple, the first thing is to choose a good land, as long as it is not sandy, the general house will not be built on the sand, so the general house can dig the cellar.

Lin He plans to dig the cellar in his yard, find a good place, and use a shovel-like thing to dig out the soil into the ground little by little, the size of the cellar mouth is about one meter or so, about four or five meters deep, and then go down and use an ordinary shovel to dig around, and then use square bricks or wooden pillars to support to avoid collapse, so that it is almost completed.

Lin He told Dabao and Erniu about this principle, Erniu and Dabao spent four days digging out the cellar, when they went down, Lin He first lit the oil lamp and went down to see, it was still good, and when the things were put in, it was okay to seal the mouth, especially in the summer.
