After coming here, Chen Youyi's biggest regret is that there are really a lot less ingredients in Da Chen Guo than in modern times.

Many of the common foods that can be found everywhere in modern times have either become tributes or unheard of here. Or it just exists, but it is not cultivated on a large scale.

It's like the wild yam growing in the jungle in front of her.

"Don't dig yet, don't dig yet." Chen Youyi hurriedly stopped Qin Ziheng, he was moving too fast, and if he slowed down, the whole yam would be dug up by him: "These yams are so rare, what a pity to dig them all at once." ”

Qin Ziheng cut off the vines of the yam first, and then excavated, if he cut all the vines, it would be much more troublesome to transplant them.

"Dig it out with the vine and retransplant it." Chen Youyi happily touched the leaves of the vines, and her mind was already full of thoughts, thinking that she would have an endless yam field in the future.

Qin Ziheng was skeptical and asked, "Is this okay?" Except for the rich who specialize in cultivating, these things are not good to grow. ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" Chen Youyi is very optimistic: "Even if the planting is not good, it is a matter of eating less." If you succeed in planting, you can eat it every day in the future! ”

It is indeed the same reason, Qin Ziheng didn't say anything more, and Chen Youyi and Chen Youyi dug up the remaining yam by roots and planted it on a vacant land they had reclaimed a few days ago.

"Can these still be planted?" Qin Ziheng asked as he carried the part that had been dug out first.

Chen Youyi looked at the pile of yams that were stripped of the ground and only the poles left, and gave up rescuing them: "No need, if we can grow live, the ones in the field are enough for us to eat, let's take these home, and I will show you my skills at night!" ”

When they took the yam home and offered the treasure, they did not get the applause they deserved.

"This thing is terrible!" Qin Huai glanced at it and looked away, and said disgustedly: "It's slippery like a dead fish, and it tastes no good, so it's better to gnaw on cabbage!" ”

Mu Xiulian was slightly better than Qin Huai, and she was not very enthusiastic, and said: "Although the taste is not good, it can nourish the stomach and is good for the body, which may not be bought with money, so save it for cooking porridge at night and drink it." ”

The expression between the words was full of patience, but he was reluctant to throw it away and barely ate it.

"Humph!" Chen Youyi said proudly: "You don't have to worry about it this time, I'll give you a surprise at night, and I will make sure you can't stop eating!" ”

In order to achieve a surprising effect, she also closed the kitchen door to prevent others from peeping inside, and almost hung a sign on the kitchen door that said "The kitchen is heavy, idlers are not allowed to enter".

"Big brother, what is my sister-in-law doing with taro?" Qin Huai asked in horror, "It won't be a pot of stew, right?" I don't like to eat either of them, so I might as well drink white porridge directly! ”

Qin Ziheng didn't know what Chen Youyi was going to do, but according to his previous experience, there would generally be no problem. After this period of time, he has decided that Chen Youyi is a chef with excellent culinary talent.

Of course, those taros are not for porridge, but for boiling sugar.

Here, sweets are basically luxury accessories, only the rich can satisfy their appetites every once in a while, and for this kind of poor country, sugar is a little rare thing that will be bought during the New Year's holidays.

If you want to use white sugar to boil sugar, I am afraid that you will be trained from head to foot by Mu Xiulian with a straight face. But Chen Youyi has a way, without sugar, she can boil it herself.

The raw material is taro stored in every household in the countryside, although it is time-consuming to make, and the finished product is not as good as sugar, but it is also a good substitute.

First, peel and wash the yam and cut it into pieces with a hob. Then heat the oil, wait until it is hot, put the yam cubes in the pan and fry them until golden brown, and then remove them and set aside. Add the boiled sugar to an appropriate amount of water and boil it into a syrup. Finally, pour the syrup over the yam while it is hot, and use a spoon to draw the syrup around the yam little by little to shape it.

A plate of sweet and delicious shredded yam is ready.

"Eat hot, eat hot!" Chen Youyi brought the dish over and beckoned the three of them to come over and try it.

Qin Huai held the chopsticks, looked at the plate hesitantly, and said, "Is this really delicious?" ”

Qin Ziheng didn't ask anything, he directly picked up the chopsticks and clamped a piece, the hot syrup was not yet finalized, and a long silk thread was pulled out with his movements.

"It's delicious." Qin Ziheng nodded to Chen Youyi and affirmed her cooking skills.

With Qin Ziheng's demonstration, coupled with seeing the syrup being pulled out of various long and short silk threads, Qin Huai couldn't hold it back for a long time, and interestingly used chopsticks to wrap the sugar shreds around the yams he picked up and put them in his mouth.

"Hmm!" With his cheeks bulging like a little hamster, Qin Huai showed a wonderful expression: "Can Yam still do this?" It's much better than cooking porridge! ”

Mu Xiulian also showed a surprised expression on the side.

Chen Youyi also clipped a piece for herself, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, when the sugar is cold, there will be no more pulling effect!" ”

The four of them gathered around the table, you and I took a bite and ate a plate of shredded yams, all of which were a little unfinished. Chen Youyi also said about the transplantation of yams, and from then on, Qin Huai thought about it every day, that is, the yam would grow up quickly.

But before the yam grew up, something happened first.

On this day, Chen Youyi went around the forest as usual, firstly to take care of the pasture grass and yams planted, and secondly, to find more vacant land for future expansion.

When he walked under a tree, there was a small pile of gray things in front of him, which was not conspicuous in the forest, and Chen Youyi didn't pay attention to it, so he walked over.

However, when it got to the object, the pile of gray suddenly moved, from a small pile to a long strip.

Snake! Boa!

Chen Youyi's heart jumped sharply, and when she suddenly saw a snake in the wild, most people would be scared, but she was still a woman who didn't like reptilian creatures very much, and this snake was still a huge python!

For a moment, Chen Youyi felt that she was a frog targeted by the snake, and her whole person was stiff. And the snake's head was already raised, and almost a third of its body was erect, which was a precursor to an attack.

Chen Youyi didn't dare to move, for fear of making a little movement to anger the snake. But I didn't move at all, and I felt that it was too dangerous, and I didn't know if I could get rid of the snake if I ran faster.

"I was just passing by, and I didn't mean to hurt you." Knowing that the snake couldn't understand, Chen Youyi couldn't help but lower her voice and started talking to herself, not so much talking to the snake as cheering herself up: "I don't beat you, don't bite me, everyone goes their own way, do you think it's okay?" ”

Apparently not.

The snake held its head high, the snake hyacinth spit out, hissed in the air, and the next second, rushed straight towards Chen Youyi.
