Chapter 259: Sweet Potatoes

Then came a few pieces of smoked chicken, half a plate of haggis, and half a plate of bacon slices. They all came up one by one to grab one by one, as if they hadn't eaten for a few days.

The plates were brought by Hao Lange and Hao Lanxin respectively. Neither of them sat down in the room, and after putting down the plates, they went to the hall and sat down and whispered.

Hao Xu went back and forth in three rooms. Except for squeezing out some smiles in front of the children, he has a calm face and a preoccupied look at other times.

The two of them have been in the room.

The atmosphere at home was very somber.

Finally, a plate of fried peanuts was served. But it's a bit too much, and it tastes bitter in my mouth.

"My sister's fried one is the most delicious, crispy and fragrant." Tian Youchun ate a peanut, grinned, and said.

"Then your sister will fry a plate." Hao Jianguo said unconvinced. He knew that this peanut was fried by his mother, and he was careful that there was still some shortness in his eyes.

"Bomb it, blow it up. Insurance is better than this. Tian Youqiu was also unconvinced and said: "Qingqing, you fry a plate for them and let them see your skills." ”

As he spoke, he rushed into the hall and said, "Mom, peanuts have a bitter taste, and I can't eat them." Let's fry the green greens. ”

"You kid, pick what! What are you yelling about when you have something to eat? Hao Lanxin said angrily. She knows her daughter's cooking skills, and she is better than this fried with her eyes closed. But there is already one, if you let your daughter blow up again, wouldn't it be a clear confrontation with the basket color leaf.

The basket Caiye in the kitchen still heard the conversation between the mother and son, wiped his hands with an apron and walked over and said, "The heat of the peanuts is bigger." When it was fried, a piece of coal was added, and when it was almost cooked, the fire became hot, and I couldn't control it. Or, let Qingqing fry another plate. ”

What she meant was to explain the reason for the bombing to clear herself, and then to stop Hao Xu or Hao Lanxin with counterwords. After all, the parties have done a profound "review", and if they want a child to repeat it, they will not give themselves face.

She was also afraid that Tian Qingqing would compare her to her on the spot.

Hao Lange was unhappy in his heart, and when he saw that Basket Caiye said this, he also intended to kill her in public, so he followed her words and said: "Since you also said so, then ask Qingqing to fry another plate, anyway, the time is still early." ”

After speaking, no matter how the basket Caiye stared and wrinkled his brows, he shouted at the Xili room: "Qingqing, they all said that you fried peanuts and rice crispy, you come down and fry a plate for your brother, younger brother, and sister." ”

Tian Qingqing had already listened to the conversations in the hall. When I came over to take a look, I saw that the eldest concubine was black and black tiger with a face and did not say a word, but the aunt had a gloating expression. I thought to myself: I'm going to blow up, I will definitely offend the big girl, and if I don't blow up, I will disappoint my aunt, and I won't be able to get off the stage.

Suddenly saw that there were more than half of the baskets of sweet potatoes under the small bed, and he was also in a hurry, and asked Hao Xu with a smile: "Grandma, do you have rock sugar and sesame seeds at home?" ”

Hao Xushi: "There are sesame seeds, there is no rock sugar, there is white sugar." ”

"Sugar is fine." Tian Qingqing had a bottom in his heart, and said to Hao Lange and Basket Caiye with a smile: "What do peanuts have to eat." Why don't I make a plate of shredded sweet potatoes for my brother and younger siblings? "Saying a silkworm squeeze the remains of the catfish and suffocate the mulberry toe trade bath!

"Do this business, eat all day long, all tired of eating, no one wants to eat this." Hao Xu was the first to react.

During this period, sweet potatoes were grown in large quantities in various villages. The first is that the yield is high, and the second is that it can conceal the production and give the members more points, and there is no problem with the winter rations. Therefore, every household has a ground kiln to store sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes have become a staple food in winter. People boiled and eaten, steamed and eaten, put it in white porridge and millet porridge, and ate it every day. Almost all of them were bored.

But no one thought that sweet potatoes could also be made into dishes and served on the wine table.

Tian Qingqing said with a smile: "Grandma, you give me a handful of sesame seeds and a handful of sugar, and you can take care of the rest, and when the time comes, you will be able to eat sweet potatoes that taste different from usual." ”

Basket Caiye immediately smiled when he heard this, and thought: It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you don't fry peanuts. He said, "How?" What do I need to prepare? I'll help you. ”

Tian Qingqing thought to herself: If you have labor, you don't need to use it in vain. He said, "Then you can peel the sweet potato, enough for two plates, wash it and put it on the board, and the rest is my business." ”

Then he followed Hao Xu and took a handful of sugar and a handful of sesame seeds, and wrapped them in paper. Then pretending to go to the toilet, he walked to no man's land and dodged into the space.

It is best to use rock sugar to make shredded sweet potatoes, and the pulled sugar shreds can be shiny. White sugar is also fine, but what Hao Xu gave her was white sugar. What is the effect of this, Tian Qingqing has never used it, and it is estimated that it must not be as good as rock candy. To be on the safe side, Tian Qingqing decided to change it to rock candy. Because there is a rock candy space in it.

Tian Qingqing used his ability to make the lumps of rock candy look like white sugar, and he still wrapped it in that piece of paper. I walked to the kitchen through the wall of the space and poured some stir-fry oil into the oil bottle. Frying sweet potato wedges costs oil, and she is afraid that her grandmother will feel distressed if she uses too much.

After making this qiē, when Tian Qingqing returned to the kitchen, the basket of colored leaves had just finished peeling the two large pieces of sweet potato.

"Almost, huh?" Basket Caiye pointed to the sweet potatoes that he had peeled and washed.

"Okay. That's all. Tian Qingqing said, took a small bench and put it in front of the board, stood up, picked up the kitchen knife and cut it.

"Dangdangdang", the uniform disc cutter blocks are immediately piled up on the cutting board.

"Hey, these little hands are really skilled." The little concubine Dai Shujuan praised.

"Qingqing, are you cooking on a small bench at home?" Basket Caiye said a little teasingly.

Tian Qingqing is neither humble nor arrogant: "Well, it's so light." You can use your strength to cut things. ”

"Hey, that's pretty sensitive." Basket Caiye laughed. I thought: What else can you do with such a small person? A look of schadenfreude.

After the hob was cut, Tian Qingqing put it in clean water and soaked it, took it out, and put it aside first.

Pour some stir-fry oil into the pot, then open the stove door, wait until the stir-fry oil is 60% hot, and slowly put the sweet potato pieces to fry; Fry the sweet potatoes until they are fully ripe and hard and yellowish in appearance, remove them and place them on the two plates that have been prepared.

"It's like croquettes, it tastes so good." Dai Shujuan exclaimed on the side.

"What do I taste?" The basket color leaf couldn't wait to put a small piece of it in his mouth with chopsticks, and he was hot and straight to the mouth. But it tastes really good, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and the unique aroma of sweet potatoes overflows the mouth. I had some admiration in my heart.

"It's delicious, and it doesn't taste the same as boiling and steaming." Basket Caiye said after eating.

Tian Qingqing: "Wait a minute, it will be more delicious if you pull out the silk." Little concubine, don't you want to taste a piece? ”

Dai Shujuan waved her hand: "I'm still waiting for the aftermath of the drawing." ”

Tian Qingqing: "Okay, this will be done." ”

As he spoke, he closed the door of the stove and said to the basket of colored leaves: "The next step is to boil the syrup, and this step does not use much oil." Ladies and gentlemen, you just scoop up the oil and leave a little bit in the pot. ”

"Hey, I'm going to give you a hand!" Basket Caiye had a stalk on his neck, and said a little unconvinced. She thinks that Tian Qingqing should support her little concubine, no matter what, she is more than ten miles older than Dai Shujuan, and with a small presence, Tian Qingqing should not support her as big.

Tian Qingqing also did not give in: "Didn't you tell me that you would help me?" ”

"Ho, you remember this!" The basket color leaf also had to be served, so he had to obediently pour the oil in the pot into a large bowl.

Tian Qingqing squeezed her eyes at Dai Shujuan, opened half of the furnace door with a smile, made the fire a little smaller, and then put the rock sugar in the paper bag into it, added a small amount of water, and said to Dai Shujuan, who was watching with good eyes on the side: "After the sugar is put in, it must be constantly stir-fried, this step is very important, only in this way can the sugar be fully and evenly dissolved." ”

Dai Shujuan nodded: "It seems that this step is the key." ”

Tian Qingqing: "Well. If the sugar is fried, it can't be pulled out, and the taste is bitter and the color is black when it is old. ”

As he spoke, the sugar in the pot had slowly melted.

When it begins to melt, the rock sugar is lighter in color and bubbles. When it's all melted, it's a bit light in color and has big bubbles.

"At this time, you have to be very careful to pay attention to the heat and not let the temperature get too high." Tian Qingqing explained.

At this time, the basket color leaf was already somewhat convinced, and he was engrossed in watching it with Dai Shujuan. It's like a little apprentice learning from a teacher.

When the sugar turned golden brown and the bubbles began to get smaller, Tian Qingqing said again: "At this time, the sugar has become viscous and has some strength, and the temperature of the fire must not be high, otherwise the sugar will turn into caramel and will be useless." Hey, big girl, hurry up and put the fried potato chunks in it. ”

Tian Qingqing can be regarded as the labor force of basket color leaves today.

Basket Caiye smiled helplessly and obediently complied.

Tian Qingqing quickly stir-fried the potato pieces in the pot a few times, let the sugar syrup stick evenly to the potato pieces, and then sprinkled the bag of sesame seeds evenly on it, and then quickly took it out of the pot and put it on the plate.

Tian Qingqing looked at the shiny potato pieces and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good." ”

Looking at the sweet potato chunks on the plate, they are golden and dripping, with layers of sesame seeds, and the unique color of the sweet potatoes themselves, which is particularly bright and makes people feel mysterious.

The rich fragrance pierced the nostrils.

Basket Caiye couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and Dai Shujuan was also greedy. The two of them hurriedly took the chopsticks, one of them held a small piece, blew it with his mouth, and ate it, the sweet potato pieces were stripped of sugar, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and fragrant, not greasy, it was really delicious.

"You can't eat it like that." Tian Qingqing said, and scooped out half a bowl of cold water from the water tank, "You have to dip it in cold water to make the sugar wrapped in the potato pieces and the sugar silk attached to it hard, and it is not hot in your mouth, the taste is good, and the sugar silk can be pulled off so that it will not fall on your clothes." ”

The two of them obediently did so and ate a piece. (To be continued) RS
