A few people walked back with baskets, and Xiao Qinghe taught them how to make peach gum along the way.

"When you go back, you pick out the dirty ones and throw them away, put the rest in clean water, wash them first, and then soak them in clean water."

"We pick fresh peach blossom tears, not dried, so you don't need to soak for too long, if you go home and soak it, you can soak it until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Remember to put a little more water when soaking. ”

"After soaking these peach blossom tears, you have to wash them again, and after soaking the peach blossom tears, many magazines in them will be seen more clearly, remove those dirty things, and then wash them repeatedly with water."

"The easiest way to do peach blossom tears is to boil. If there is white fungus at home, it is white fungus, after soaking, it is broken into small flowers, and the peach blossom tears are also broken into the size of a thumb, and boiled with water. ”

"Bring to a boil on high heat, then simmer on low heat for an hour, add rock sugar to taste, and you're ready to eat. It tastes sticky, slippery, and fragrant with peach blossoms, which is more refreshing when it is cooled. ”

After listening to Xiao Qinghe's description, several children hissed and sucked.

When he got home, Xiao Qinghe washed the peach blossom tears twice with water, washed off the dust stained outside, and then grabbed two handfuls and poured a large basin of water to soak them.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Xiao Qinghe went to the basin to take a look, and the peach blossom tears had completely soaked, as much as half a basin, and the white fungus had also completely soaked.

Xiao Qinghe picked up a handful of peach blossom tears, rubbed them gently, and rubbed off some dirty things on the surface.

After changing the water twice, the peach blossom tears in the basin have been much cleaner.

However, she picked up the clumps of peach blossom tears again, and carefully pinched off the stubborn stains that were born in the peach gum and could not be washed off directly.

While learning from her to clean the peach blossom tears, Jin An said: "Such a big pot, how long does it take to wash this flower?" ”

Xiao Qinghe said leisurely: "If you want to eat delicious food, you naturally need patience, haven't you heard that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?" When we make a piece of food and taste it, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable. After a while, when you taste the taste of peach blossom tears, you will know that the careful cleaning is worth it now. ”

Jin An sighed: "Okay, I finally know why the cooks at home are generally women, such delicate work, such boring things, is really not what our old men can do." ”

Xiao Qinghe couldn't help but sigh, and said in his heart, what kind of old man are you?

"In fact, most of the people who really do the ultimate in cooking are men," she said. Among the top chefs, there are really very few women. ”

It's actually related to physiology.

As a chef, many times the requirements for strength are relatively high, such as spooning, and most women really don't have that strength.

After removing all the dirt on the peach blossom tears, Xiao Qinghe washed them with water a few times, and at this time, the peach blossom tears in the basin completely showed an amber translucent texture, which looked very good.

Then the two of them cleaned the soaked white fungus and tore it into small flowers.

Take out the appropriate proportion of white fungus and peach blossom tears and put them in a pot, add twice the mountain spring water, bring to a boil over high heat, turn to medium-low heat and boil slowly.

After boiling for an hour, the water in the pot has evaporated a lot, stir it with a spoon, the water has become viscous, and then you can start the pot.

When the temperature in the pot cooled down a little, Xiao Qinghe added two spoonfuls of honey to it and stirred it gently.

Jin An sniffed: "Huh? What does it smell like? ”

Xiao Qinghe said: "Peach blossom tears are secreted from the peach tree, naturally with a little peach tree fragrance, and honey is the wild honey cut in the mountains, made from picking flowers, with a fragrant flower fragrance, mixed with the fragrance of the peach tree, it is very similar to the fragrance of peach blossoms." ”

"It's really the scent of peach blossoms!"

Xiao Qinghe scooped the boiled white fungus peach blossom soup into a large pot and a small pot, and put it in the water tank to spur up.

The water at home is the mountain spring water from the mountain, which is clear and alive, and it doesn't take long for the white fungus peach blossom soup to be cold.

Xiao Qinghe divided four bowls from the small basin, and one person gave one bowl.

The cool white fungus peach blossom soup looks even better, like jelly, showing a faint orange-red color.

Xiao Qinghe scooped a ball of peach blossom tears into his mouth, delicate, soft, cold, and sweet......

Sure enough, it is a good summer reliever!

Jin An snorted and snorted: "It's the first time I think this sweet thing is so delicious." ”

Xiao Qinghe said: "If you add a little red beans, red dates, wolfberries, and a little fruit, it will be more delicious." ”

It's a pity that red beans, red dates, and wolfberries are relatively expensive, and there are no common ones at home.

Jin An said: "Really? Then I'll go back and let my mom add some to boil together. ”

By now, Jin An was convinced of Xiao Qinghe's words.

Jin Ping said: "Lotus, this kind of thing should be the only one in Fengming Township, and the taste is so good, have you ever thought about selling it on the street after it is done?" ”

Xiao Qinghe thought for a while and said, "Forget it this year, it's going to be cold soon." Besides, my mother is now selling ice powder, plus white fungus peach blossom soup, which is not easy to take to the street. Wait for next year, the ship should be in place next year, and it will be convenient to go to the street by then. ”

Xiao Qinghe plans to save some money this year, and entrust the fourth grandfather to build a small cart according to the kind of small cart that sells breakfast in later generations.

She plans to reserve a little more peach blossom tears this year and do a good job next year!

That night, Jin An couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, obviously since he went to the countryside, he slept comfortably every night, and after lying down for a while, he snored, and slept until dawn, but he couldn't sleep today.

"Okay, okay, what are you doing over and over again? Hurry up and go to sleep! ”

Jin Ping couldn't sleep because of him.

Jin An said quietly: "Brother, I'm really reluctant to go!" Here in Little Lotus, it is really fresh and fun every day, and I don't want to go back. ”

In just seven days, they went to the mountains to hunt, pick mushrooms, go to the water to catch fish, touch crabs, go to the forest to dig birds' eggs, pick peach blossoms and tears, make ice powder, muddy water cakes, cold noodles, white fungus peach blossom soup at home, and also cook in the mountains, roast pheasants, grilled fish......

Especially teasing the little lotus flower every day, bullying and bullying September, the days are very happy.

Jin Pingxin said, are you reluctant to these fun things, or are you reluctant to your little sister Lotus? Call a little girl who is six years younger than you, and you can really scream!

"Isn't that your little sister Lotus? Why is it called Little Lotus again? ”

"Hey, that's all for her, besides, the little lotus isn't here now."

"Lotus is not here, you just toss me? Hurry up and go to bed, tomorrow I have to get up early to go back to the village, and I have to take a day's car. ”
