Chapter 207: Food
"Then eldest sister, why don't we go to Zhuangzi and have a look! If the watermelon is ripe, pick some and eat it. Yueting put down the needlework in her hand and hugged Li Xin's arm to be coquettish.
"Okay, it's hot, what are you doing with my arm! If you really want to eat, let Zhu Yong go to Zhuangzi, take a look, and pick some back if there is something cooked. Li Xin poked Yueting's forehead. The weather is really hot, and at this time, I really don't want to go out for half a step.
However, good weather also has the benefit of good weather, at least, when the weather is so hot, it is faster to dry sweet potato flour.
"Good! Then I'll let Brother Zhu go. Yueting ran to the front yard with a grin. Zhu Yong is in a hurry on weekdays, but in fact, most of the time he is relatively leisurely. Because it is not clear when the carriage will be used, Zhu Yong does not go out often, and most of them rest at home.
Only when Li Xin didn't go out much for a few days would Zhu Yong go outside for a walk.
Yueting ran to the front yard, and after a while, she turned back again, saying that Zhu Yong already knew about it and was preparing, and would soon go out to Zhuangzi's side.
"My cousin's house even grows watermelons! Speaking of which, the last time I went to Zhuangzi, I didn't take a closer look at what was planted in the field! Ling Feifei said with a smile.
"In the summer, it's a good thing to have watermelons to eat, so I planted some at home, and I thought I could eat them when I wanted to. There are also a lot of fruits planted on the Zhuangzi, and when the fruits are ripe one after another, they can be eaten well. ”
"Our orchard is very large, if Fei Fei wants to go, when the fruit is ripe, let's go to the Zhuangzi to play! Fruit picking is also fun. Yuexiang smiled slightly.
"Okay!" Ling Feifei happily agreed.
When the weather got hot, Li Xin began to think about all kinds of food, she was originally a person who liked to think about all kinds of food. It's always nice to have something delicious to eat, and in her previous life, she also liked to cook all kinds of food, and she always had a sense of satisfaction when she ate the delicious food she made.
Of course, if you make something that others like to eat, you will be more satisfied.
The weather is getting hot, and everyone's favorite food is naturally different from usual. The family also prefers all kinds of cold dishes, as well as lighter dishes.
If it was in the previous life, naturally everyone preferred all kinds of ice drinks or something, and many things like cold salad, such as cold noodles! Cool skin! Cold noodles! It's all delicious. Speaking of which, after coming to this world, she really hasn't seen any kind of cold powder, even in the capital, she has never eaten cold powder.
I don't know if it's because there is no one in this world who has made zuò jelly, or because there is no one in this place where she is.
Regardless of whether someone knows how to make jelly, anyway, she remembered such a thing as jelly at this time, and she wanted to eat it more. In fact, there are several kinds of jelly, including pea flour made from peas, rice jelly made from indica rice, ice powder made from seeds made from fake sour pulp, and black jelly made from fairy grass, mung bean powder made from mung beans, sweet potato jelly made from sweet potato starch, etc.
Speaking of which, there are really many types of jelly, and as long as you know it, it is not difficult to do, and the materials are relatively ordinary. Therefore, jelly is also a relatively simple and affordable food, and it tastes very good.
In addition to pea flour, other jelly powders have not been made at home. Pea flour is still a lot of peas produced by Zhuangzi before, and they have to be sold to Pinxiangge, and the shopkeeper Sun doesn't know how to eat peas, so Li Xin also taught the chef of Pinxiangge to make pea flour. The main use of those peas is to make roasted food, and to make pea flour to sell.
The response to the pea flour is still very good, at least, the pea flour in the Pinxiang Pavilion sells very well, and some people will buy it more and eat it themselves, and the take-out alone can sell a lot. The main thing is that this thing is delicious and not expensive, so it is naturally very popular with people. And pea flour is a kind of thing, you can eat thin bean flour when it is still hot out of the pot, and mix it with roasted bait, fritters, rice noodles, roll noodles and the like, which is a very good breakfast. Pea flour is a nutritious food, containing copper, chromium and other trace elements, which is conducive to the metabolism of sugar and fat, and has the effect of preventing and treating tumors. Eating more is good for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and anemia.
When it's cold, it's just ordinary pea flour, and it's mostly eaten cold. However, it can also be fried and boiled. In his previous life, Li Xin liked to eat pea flour very much, sometimes if he didn't want to cook, he stirred thin bean flour early in the morning to make breakfast, and at noon he could eat it cold, and in the evening, cut the pea flour into pieces, and then put in chopped green onions and the like to cook, and mixed with various condiments It is also delicious.
It's really something that people never get tired of eating, not only when the weather is hot, everyone loves to eat, but also on weekdays, there are still many people who like to eat. There are also a lot of dried peas left in the house, and I grind some noodles from time to time to keep them, so I can make them at any time when I want to eat them.
"It's so hot, why don't we make something to eat!" Li Xin thought about it, and said it with a smile. However, now there is only pea flour at home, and for the time being, I can only make pea flour to eat. Other materials have to be found, indica rice is easy to find, and there are them in grain stores. And mung bean flour is also simple, mung beans are not difficult to buy, and they are available on the market. The whole plant of false sour pulp can be used for medicine, and there should be one in the seed pharmacy.
There is also sweet potato powder, if the sweet potato powder in Osmanthus Village is dried, it will be easy to make. Speaking of which, it is not difficult to find materials for making all kinds of cold powder, but it is not easy to find fairy grass, because there are only some places where it will. I haven't seen it for a while, so let's put it on hold for now! There are already so many kinds of jelly, if you make them all, you won't be able to eat them all.
"Good! I like delicious food the most, big sister, what do you want to eat! Yueting jumped up happily.
"Little gluttonous cat, as soon as you say food, you will be in good spirits. You were just asked to learn to embroider, and you were going to fall asleep. Li Xin poked Yueting's forehead. This little chubby girl! It's just that I'm most interested in what I still eat. As soon as I hear something to eat, my ears will be pricked up, and I can hear it clearly from a distance, I don't know if this is a talent.
However, it is nothing, and now there is no shortage of food for her at home. And she doesn't always think about what to eat.
A lot of dim sum is made at home, but it doesn't cost a lot of money.
"Where is the embroidery delicious!" Yue Ting muttered.
"I want to make jelly noodles to eat, but now that I only have pea noodles at home, I might as well make pea noodles and eat them! Other cold powder, when the ingredients are recovered, will be eaten in the same way. Li Xin relieved the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and put everything away. Embroidery is also very hurtful to the eyes, so it is necessary to let the eyes rest for a while after embroidery. Moreover, I always embroider with my head down, and after a long time, my neck will also hurt very much.
Therefore, it is good to embroider for a while every day, and the rest of the time you still have to stand up and exercise. The main thing is that everyone will not become an embroiderer in the future, and they don't need to use this craft to survive, but they don't have to work hard all day. When it's time to rest, it's also time to rest, and maintaining good health is the most important thing.
"In addition to pea flour, are there any other jelly?" Yuexiang also looked at Li Xin curiously.
"Of course there is! When I have the ingredients, I will make them the same for you to eat. When the weather is hot, it is most comfortable to eat jelly, so let's get pea flour to eat first! ”
And they put away all the embroidery. Yuexiang went to make a fire first, and Li Xin went to get pea flour. After taking the appropriate pea flour, Li Xin went to the kitchen, and the fire in the kitchen was already burning, so Yuexiang added some water to the pot. Li Xin put some water and turned the pea noodles into a paste.
When the water in the pot boiled, Li Xin scooped out some first. Sometimes it's hard to gauge how much water you need to use, so you can boil more and scoop it out first. If you find it too thick in the process, add some hot water a little.
When the water is boiling, add the mixed paste to the pot and stir it with a wooden stick as you add it. When it is half-cooked, add a pinch of salt and stir again. When it doesn't taste like a pea, it's ripe. When it is cooked, it is served in a container, and when it is cold, it can be eaten in various ways.
I'm about to scoop out the pot! Yueting was already waiting by the stove with a bowl.
"Eldest sister, give me a bowl to eat first!" Yue Ting looked at Li Xin pitifully.
"Okay, I'll give you a bowl to eat first, little gluttonous cat." Li Xin first scooped a bowl of thin bean flour for Yueting, and Yueting took it aside to eat. After scooping out a pot with a pot first, Li Xin began to scoop up the thin soybean flour for everyone to eat. Scoop it out while it is hot and put it in a basin, so that when it is cold, the shape will be better.
"This pea flour is so delicious! I've never eaten it before! Ling Feifei said as she ate.
There are still leftover fritters from the morning at home, so Li Xin cut them into sections and let everyone eat them in the thin soybean flour. There are also all kinds of condiments, and everyone is inhaled spicy, but they are happy to eat non-stop.
"This kind of food is just a small place that people like to eat, and many people may find it difficult to be elegant, so it's not surprising that you haven't eaten it." Although pea flour is sold in Pinxiang Pavilion, even the head office in the capital, Shopkeeper Sun also said that it is sold. However, it is not surprising that people like Ling Fu may not eat these snacks.
And I always go to the restaurant to eat, that's a man's business, and women don't go out, even if they go out, they hardly go to the restaurant to eat. And even if a man eats something delicious outside, he may not bring some back to his family. R1152
