Chapter 143: Making Snacks

PS: Thanks to a few children's shoes for the tips and pink tickets.

Hongyun listened to his mother at home that his sister agreed, and he agreed willingly, and he was also relieved, in the past few months, Hongyun and Dasheng have also saved some silver money in Erniu's house, and Hongyun took a tael of silver from the cabinet.

Hongyun arrived at Zhao's house, seeing that Hongxia was very thin, she was a little distressed, but she just sighed and didn't speak, but gave Zhao's five hundred big money, so that her mother usually made some delicious food for her sister and raised her body. In addition, he gave 500 big money to Hongxia, saying that she would let Hongxia use it herself, and there would always be a place for money at home, but Hongxia didn't say anything and took the money.

Hongxia didn't say much to take the money, but Hongyun was relieved, in her heart, she hoped that Hongxia really didn't want this child, and didn't have too much affection for this child, and she would feel better when she took it away, and her sister would not be reluctant to give up the child.

Hongxia seemed to see through her sister and said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, my mother has already told me, I won't be reluctant, I am willing, this child can follow you is his blessing, otherwise he doesn't know where to reincarnate now, how can he still be so delicate." ”

Hongyun knew that her sister was relieved when she said this, so she smiled and patted her sister's hand, asking her to raise the baby at her mother's side, stay here for a while, and she would come to see her more if she was fine, and after sitting for a while, Hongxia left.

In the past few days, Lin He has nothing to do all day, doing some embroidery at home, which is really boring. I saw that there were a lot of vegetables and fruits in the yard of my house, and there were a lot of them in the cellar, so I thought it would be good to deal with all these things. These pumpkins and winter melons, autumn beans, and some soybeans collected at home some time ago are piled up in the yard, and they can't be eaten at home. It was wasted when the time came.

At this time, everyone has some land in their homes, and every family grows these ordinary things, and when it comes to harvest, there are a lot of them in the house. In the end, if it was left for a long time, it would be lost, and he didn't feel that it was a waste, but Lin He didn't want to waste it so much, thinking that it was precious in his previous life.

This winter squash pumpkin. Beans cost a few dollars a pound. I'm afraid that such a big winter melon will cost dozens of pieces, and it's shameful to waste it, it's better to make some snacks or something, anyway, there are many children at home, and there are usually no snacks at home.

Like a pumpkin. Lin He thought it could be fried into pumpkin balls, which were fragrant and sweet. And the color is also good-looking, presumably the child is very fond of it, winter melon can also be made into winter melon sugar, this is a kind of snack that Lin He made in his previous life, it is also extremely delicious, sweet but not greasy, these beans are simply dried and made into pickles and placed in the jar, and they can also be put for a long time, and they are very good for cooking or side dishes when the time comes.

Lin He thought of it, first make this winter melon candy, she had done it herself before, the process was not complicated, and the raw materials were simple, the raw materials to be used were available at this time, but it didn't take a lot of effort to make it. Lin He called Chen'er and Da Yuan to help, saying that he wanted to make them some snacks to eat, and the two little girls heard it and immediately ran over.

Lin He thought about it, thinking that one of the main raw materials for making winter melon candy is to use sugar, there is not much sugar in the family, let Daddy Qin drive the ox cart to the town to buy some sugar and come back, thinking about it, he took the silver from the house, and asked Daddy Qin to go to the town to buy some sugar for himself, Daddy Qin smiled and said: "These boys are hungry again, let He'er make up for it." After saying that, he took the money, set up the ox cart, and went to buy sugar.

Father Qin left, Lin He began to do it, sifted the winter melons in the courtyard, selected several large winter melons that were almost more than ten catties each, and asked Chen'er and Dayuan to wash the winter melons with clean water, and then shaved off all the green skin, leaving only the white flesh part, and then removed the inner capsule in the center, cut it into slender strips, and cut it into small melon strips as thick as a finger of an adult, but I was afraid that these two little girls just heard her say that they had no concept, so they cut a few by themselves and let them cut them according to it.

The first thing is to harden these cut winter melons, the process is to use quicklime to prepare a certain ratio of lime milk solution, that is, lime water, and then put the winter melon strips into lime water to soak, Lin He first made lime water, after about half an hour, the two little girls' winter melons were almost cut, and they could get it here.

Lin He has several big tanks in the yard, Lin He fetches water to wash the tank, and then pour the lime water into it, and then soak the cut winter melon strips in lime water, so that the texture of the winter melon strips becomes more solid, this should be soaked overnight, and then take out and rinse with water tomorrow morning to remove the residual lime solution.

Huang Shi watched from the side, and didn't know what she was doing, and asked: "He'er, didn't you say what to do winter melon candy, isn't winter melon candy to eat, how to soak it in lime water, and said that if you want to soak it overnight, can you still eat it, there will be no problem if you eat it." ”

Lin He smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be no problem with my mother's safekeeping, Ming'er will make it, you will know how delicious it is when you taste it." ”

Huang smiled and said, "He'er said yes, then the mother will wait to eat your winter melon candy." ”

"Okay, mother, just wait, I'm sure you can eat sweet and fragrant winter melon candy." Lin He replied with a smile.

Huang looked at her and smiled, anyway, these winter melons in her house have been placed here for many days, and she can't eat them at home, so she has to toss them, which is better than bad ones.

The next day, Lin He went to see the winter melon strips he was soaking, thinking that it was almost over, so he urged Huang to hurry up and make breakfast, wait for the winter melon candy to be made, and catch these suns.

After the family finished breakfast, Lin He took Dayuan and Chen'er to start making winter melon candy again, and the next thing is to remove the limestone from the hardened winter melon, scoop up the winter melon strips, soak them in clean water for an hour, and then change the water to soak, it takes several times to remove the limestone.

After removing these, you can cook it with sugar, the cooking process is to put the winter melon strips into a clean and oil-free pot, add sugar, slowly boil them with a small simmer, and mix them together, the sugar is added again and again, Lin He saw that the sugar had been boiled almost, and when the melon strips turned hard and tough, he asked Chen'er to put out the fire and take out the winter melon sugar.

The last step is to put the winter melon strips on the bamboo basket and then mix with powdered sugar, the winter melon candy is light green, and it is very crystal clear, a few little guys, all said this is good, shouting to eat, Lin He let them taste some, all said that this is much better than sugar, Lin He told them to wait for the sun to bask for half a day, and it will be more delicious in the afternoon.
