I spent the whole morning making sweet potato poop at my mother's house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sweet potato poop is sweet potato cake and is prepared for the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, every family here will serve their guests with fried sweet potato cakes made by themselves.

My mother boiled a pot of sweet potatoes early in the morning, slowly boiled them with a simmer, until the sweet potatoes were boiled soft, and the sugar was boiled out before the fire was extinguished, and after cooling, the pot was put in a large wooden basin, and the sweet potatoes were broken with a spatula, and then the sweet potatoes were mashed with a washed mallet, and then they began to make sweet potato cakes.

I helped my mother set up a table in the yard, and put a yellow flower tie (dialect, a kind of rectangular rough bamboo weaving, about one meter five or six long and about one meter wide, locally produced daylily, specially used this tool to spread and dry daylily, so it is called yellow flower pair), and some clean straw with debris removed from the clothing skin crumbs was sparsely spread on it.

I was in charge of making mashed potatoes, and my mother and Sister Meiyu sat at the table to make sweet potato cakes.

Molds are needed to make sweet potato cakes. The mold is a wooden board, with a handle at one end of the board, and a round or square groove carved in the middle, shallow, about a millimeter more, the size of the circle is like the mouth of a rice bowl, and the square one is slightly less than the primary school workbook.

When making hash browns, first put a thin handkerchief washed in the mold, pick the mashed potatoes on the handkerchief, wipe them flat with a spatula, remove the excess, sprinkle a little sesame seeds, pinch the two ends of the handkerchief with both hands, gently get the handkerchief out of the mold, lift the handkerchief and buckle it on the skewer, and then gently uncover the handkerchief, a square or round potato cake is made, just wait for drying and put it away, fry it with oil during the New Year, it is the sweet potato baba with a unique flavor, golden sweetness and crispiness.

On the table, my mother made square cakes, and Ou Meiyu made round cakes. The two of them were lightly tacted, and soon they were full of a pair. Ou Yujiao had itchy hands on the side, and shouted that she should do it too, so Ou Meiyu asked her to try it, but the seemingly simple operation was not the same thing under her hands, she tinkered for a long time, and the mashed potatoes were thin

Incomplete, thick and unevenly scraped, finally made one, she got up very proudly, humming in her mouth: "Little swallow flies south, comes here every year??" Carry a handkerchief to dry on the tie. Unexpectedly, when she cautiously walked to the side of the partner, the hash browns on the handkerchief fell off the handkerchief and fell to the ground, piling up like shit in front of her feet.

The humming came to an abrupt end. The first sweet potato cake she had worked so hard to make turned into mud in a blink of an eye, and her eyes turned red as soon as she stood still.

I was about to laugh out loud, when I saw that my mother and Sister Meiyu both lowered their heads and deliberately pretended not to see, desperately endured not smiling, their faces were red, and they didn't look at her quickly, and finally held back their laughter.

Ou Yujiao threw away the handkerchief, pouted and sulked, and slipped into the house alone, and we laughed out loud.

With laughter, the atmosphere comes alive. I chatted with my mother while licking mashed potatoes. When I came here earlier, it was already past breakfast time, and my mother was busy cooking sweet potatoes, looking for yellow flowers and cleaning molds. After eating, we set up a table and bench in the yard to prepare, and then took the boiled sweet potatoes out of the pot, each busy in their own way, without saying a few words. At this time, my mother asked me about Li Zhuqing's situation, and I talked about it roughly, only saying that he was sick because of Wen Xiaoxue, and hid the matter of going to school with three friends from the steel factory.

It's not that I deliberately want to hide my mother. When Li Yutian and his wife were leaving last night, they begged me to give them a little time, and when Li Zhuqing's condition improved a little and his mood was stable, they accompanied him to the police station to report and expose him. In the past few days, please keep it a secret and don't disclose it to others, especially my own mother, for the time being. She and Wen Xiaoxue are relatives, and if she shouts out excitedly, I am afraid that she will startle the snake and cause unnecessary trouble.

I understood their feelings, thinking that it had been three years since they had come here, and it was not a day or two more, and it was not a big problem to give them this opportunity, so I nodded and agreed.

After hearing this, my mother asked, "According to what you say, Li Zhuqing's illness is not an evil thing, but a scare of himself?" ”

"Yes. He suspected that Teacher Wen was entangled with him, his soul was restless, he had nightmares, he couldn't sleep and couldn't eat, for this kind of heart disease, the medicine stone was ineffective. I said.

"Are you sure you'll cure him?" Ou Meiyu interjected and asked.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. When I found the cause, I calmed him down and adjusted his sleep, but it took a while to recover. I replied.

"Requiem? It seems that your skills are getting bigger and bigger. I can't imagine that our family will be lucky enough to meet a living nerve fairy! Hee-hee??" Ou Meiyu tune? Road.

"Hey, don't be so weird, okay? When did I sin against you again? "I protested loudly.

My mother smiled: "Xianghong, don't say it, when I met you last year, where did I expect you to change so much?" You've changed my worldview! “

I don't want to go on on this topic, this is a problem that is contrary to the modern scientific outlook, and with my current knowledge and experience, I am very confused, and of course I don't want to say more. I thought of the red envelope of Xie Yi that Tan Aixiang stuffed me, took it out, walked to my mother, handed it to her and said, "Mother, this is the red envelope that their family forced on me, give it to you." ”

My mother glanced at the red paper bag and smiled: "What are you doing for me?" If you want to give it to you, you have to take it back to your mother. In my opinion, the few dollars and cents you have earned so hard, just keep your pocket money, so that you don't have to ask your mother next time. ”

"Mother, this is not a few dollars and a few cents, it is fifty yuan!" I said with all my heart.

"What? Fifty bucks? How can there be so many? My mother raised her head in surprise and looked at me with her hands stained with mashed potatoes.

I opened the paper bag, five brand-new big unity in my eyes, my mother took a breath, and sighed: "My God, this Lao Li and Lao Tan are really generous enough, you are a fine man, even if you cure Zhuqing's illness, you don't need to give so much!" This is a month's salary for Lao Li! ”

"Mom, what you said is not right, what's wrong with the little girl? How much money do you say their family has given to hospitals and other people over the years? And it still didn't work, it was given away in vain, and now the monkey has cured him, and it is appropriate to give this money, I don't think it's too much! Ou Meiyu said.

"You, you were greedy for money at a young age, and you will definitely be a money lover in the future." The mother scolded with a smile.

At this time, Ou Yujiao walked out of the house, saw the banknote in my hand, her eyes lit up, she walked over quickly, and exclaimed: "Wow, Brother Xianghong has made a fortune!" So much money, go, go to the department store for a treat. ”

As she spoke, she reached over to take the money, and my mother slapped her little hand away with her hand stained with mashed potatoes, took the money from my hand, carefully stuffed it into my pocket, and scolded: "If you are a good woman, you will know that you have a fat mouth, and you may be a loser in the future." Xianghong, this money is too much, if you are careless and lose it, I will keep it for you first, and I will give it to you next time you go home, and take it back to your mother. That's more than your father's salary in a month, and your mother may be so happy! ”

I smiled and said, "This is for you, everything I eat here costs money, and my mother said that she would give you money." Besides, there may be red envelopes tonight, it is estimated that there are not so many, but ten yuan and eight yuan will not be less, I will take it back and hand it to my mother. ”

"Tonight? You won't ask people for less, right? I said Xianghong, you must not be greedy??" My mother was a little anxious.

I hurriedly interrupted her and said, "It's not like that. It's another person, the bald head of the grain station, he was entangled by evil ghosts, much more serious than Li Zhuqing, so I found out this time, otherwise I'm afraid my life will be in danger. I said I'd go and treat him tonight. ”

"Huh??" My mother opened her mouth wide in surprise and looked at me in disbelief.

Ou Meiyu also looked at me with some surprise and said, "Why is it that wherever you appear, there are demons and monsters appearing?" You don't want to make people, Xie Yi deliberately scares others, right? ”

I stared at her, froze for a moment, and didn't say anything for a while.

My mother glared at her and said to me, "Don't pay attention to her nonsense. ”

I shook my head with a wry smile and walked over to the tub to lick the mashed potatoes for a moment. We were used to bickering, and of course I didn't care what she said, but her words made me ponder for a long time. Yes, in this short period of more than a year, I have indeed experienced a lot of things, all of which are inexplicable and strange things, and it is indeed a coincidence. It's only been two or three months since I came to the town to study, and I've encountered these strange things one after another, not only are there ghosts and demons, but I also met someone who is obsessed and sleepwalking last night??

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but be curious, and said to my mother who was bowing her head to make sweet potato cakes: "Mother-in-law, do you know sleepwalking?" ”

My mother kept her hands and didn't raise her head, and said casually: "I've heard of sleepwalking, but I've never seen anyone sleepwalking, how did you remember to ask this?" ”

Without thinking, I blurted out, "Because last night I met a person who was sleepwalking in a daze." ”

"Who is it?"

Qinniang and Ou Meiyu are almost in unison.
