Chapter Twenty-Six: The Potato Feast
Lin Jianwen ran to the front yard and searched for a while before finding the little girl, "Xiaoxiao." ”
"Daddy, help me take this to the backyard and find a corner to put it."
The little girl's eyes were shining.
"Xiaoxiao, what is this?" Lin Jianwen lifted the bucket and walked in front, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Daddy, this is called a potato or a potato, and when I grow it, I won't have to worry about famine in the future."
The little girl's soft and cute little expression and glutinous voice inexplicably make people hear a firmness.
As if what she said would come true!
Lin Jianwen looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with burning eyes, don't worry about the famine, what does that mean?
The corner of the little girl's mouth hooked, "This thing yields 5,000 catties per mu......"
"What?!" Lin Jianwen's eyes widened instantly, no one knows better than a cropper person what the concept of 5,000 catties per mu is!
"Smile, really?" Lin Jianwen still asked with some disbelief.
"Well, these are edible now, and I'll give you a few to try at noon." Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to the potatoes in the bucket and said.
Lin Jianwen's eyes were full of shock and gradually evolved into joy, it is conceivable that if Xiaoxiao is successfully planted, their family will no longer have to worry about food, and they will no longer have to worry about famine!
When he figured it out, Lin Jianwen felt full of strength, and he walked quickly with the barrel.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you going to plant?"
Lin Jianwu in the backyard saw the father and daughter coming over and asked loudly.
The little girl smiled slyly and hooked her lips silently.
Father Lin put the potatoes in an idle log cabin in the backyard, which was originally for miscellaneous items, and it happened to be in the shadows.
It's the best place to grow potatoes.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao had already taken out the cabbage and green onion seeds that he had bought a long time ago, and of course strawberries.
Lin Xiaoxiao handed the seeds to Father Lin, "Daddy, these are three crop seeds, you and the third uncle are separated, and you can plant them." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao felt that her father and third uncle didn't need her to teach her at all, mainly because she wasn't very good at ......
Looking at the two people who were methodical in the field, Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, much better than her, she could know the cultivation of potatoes because she was once curious.
As a sectarian saintess, she had no chance to touch planting at all.
Seeing her father and third uncle working hard, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn't be idle.
The little girl looked at the sky, it was almost noon, let's make food for everyone, and it happened that she also wanted to try how to eat potatoes for her family.
Their family members were all troubled by her, and the meals they used to eat every day were very satisfying, but now no one eats them!
The current Lin family eats dishes invented by Lin Xiaoxiao every day.
The corners of Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth curled into a smile, and he jumped to the kitchen.
"Grandma isn't there?" Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled for a moment.
Usually, grandma is a resident of the kitchen, and she is basically in the kitchen at any time.
Since she wasn't there, she would do it herself.
Lin Xiaoxiao took out some ingredients from the farm, and today she is going to make a shredded potatoes with green peppers, a potato cake, a potato stew, and a tomato and egg soup.
Looking at the potatoes in front of him, Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and after searching for a long time, he found a dagger-like knife and used the back of the knife to scrape the skin.
Fortunately, the potatoes on the farm have thin skins and are very clean with a light rub.
Otherwise, she really doesn't know where to get a peeler.
After the potatoes were processed, the little girl stepped on a small stool and stood in front of the board and began to show off her knife skills.
Of course, she doesn't have much knife work!
It's already good to be able to shred it into slices, and I want her to cut it quickly and beautifully......
It's impossible to think about it, five-year-old little tuanzi, the requirements can't be too high!
A plate of shredded potatoes, a plate of potato slices, and a plate of potato pieces, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, today has become an all-potato feast.
"Xiaoxiao, why did you run to the kitchen? Isn't it growing something in the backyard? ”
At this moment, Liu came back from outside, saw Lin Xiaoxiao in the kitchen, and asked with a smile.
"Daddy and Third Uncle are doing it, I'll make something delicious for you." The little girl turned around and gave her a sweet smile.
Seeing the little granddaughter wielding the knife, Liu hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he was frightened.
The knife is dangerous, what can be done if you hurt and smile!
So everything that comes next, the Liu family will do it.
Lin Xiaoxiao stepped on a small stool and stood on the edge of the pot, heated the oil and then fried green onion and ginger slices, and put the shredded potatoes into the pot until the fragrant potatoes were fried, stir-fry evenly while pouring in a small amount of soy sauce to enhance the color.
The little spatula in the little girl's hand kept stir-frying, because potatoes are starchy ingredients, so I was afraid that it would stick to the pan and need to be turned constantly.
For Lin Xiaoxiao, this is a personal job.
Wait until the shredded potatoes are soft, Lin Xiaoxiao puts the shredded green chili peppers into the pot and continues to stir-fry, while adding a small amount of salt, and stir-fry until the chili peppers wilt and can be taken out of the pot.
This dish of shredded potatoes with green peppers is ready.
Next, Lin Xiaoxiao put the potato slices into the pot and steamed them, then put them in a basin and crush them, add flour, salt, egg whites, and a small amount of water to knead until they form a ball.
Finally, pour a layer of oil into the bottom of the pan, pinch the dumplings into small balls, put them in the oil pan and fry them until golden brown on both sides, then you can take them out, and the crispy and delicious potato cake is ready.
The last dish, potato stew, can also be called braised potatoes...... It is to add potatoes on the basis of braised pork, which is delicious and filling, which is the best dish for farmers.
While stewing meat, Lin Xiaoxiao used another pot, put a small amount of oil in the pot, stir-fry the green onion until fragrant, and stir-fry the tomatoes until the juice comes out.
Then pour in water and boil, add salt, water starch, egg liquid to boil again, put in minced green onions before cooking, and the delicious tomato egg soup is ready.
Although there was no chicken essence or thirteen spices in ancient times, the tomatoes produced on the farm were enough to offset those things.
Lin Xiaoxiao smelled the fragrance, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved unconsciously.
Liu has also been busy working while watching his little granddaughter make a series of delicacies, with a smile in his eyes.
Look at their family smiling, they are only five years old and can do anything, and they are so likable, and the pride in Liu's heart arises spontaneously.
"Grandma, grandpa, why haven't they come back?"
The dishes are ready, it is already noon when I see the sky, and the family has not come back yet, Lin Xiaoxiao can't help but be a little worried.
"I should be back soon, it's usually around this time." Liu felt that nothing should happen in the village.
While the two were talking, Lin Youcai came back with a few daughters-in-law in the courtyard, but his face didn't seem to be very good.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked with doubts in her eyes.
"It's nothing, Xiaoxiao is ready to eat again today?"
Hearing the little granddaughter ask, Lin Youcai immediately changed his smiling face, he didn't want his little granddaughter to follow up.
"Grandpa!" Lin Xiaoxiao's face was flat, and his eyes obviously didn't make it clear.
"Hey, it's not a big deal, the people in the village don't know where they heard that we sold bellflower for 150 wen a catty, so it was because we ate the kickback and swallowed their silver."
Lin Youcai said helplessly, but the more he said, the darker his face became, and several daughters-in-law of the Lin family were also indignant.
Their family wants to make money together with the whole village, but what about them? A pack of white-eyed wolves!
"Let's eat first." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't react when she heard it.
It should be said that she had long thought that there would be such a play, and if she guessed correctly, it should have been passed on by the widow Wang.
Lin Xiaoxiao's big eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
