Chapter 204: A sense of security
Liu Wan knew that he was originally controlled by the Zhou family, and now that he was free from the control of the Zhou family, he could live as he wanted.
It's just that this kid has just been freed from Zhou's control, and he is not used to the feeling of controlling his own destiny for a while.
But as long as it takes a while for him to get used to it, he will be able to find out the direction he likes in life.
But before Wang Jing's automatic rice machine was done, Liu Wan still had to smash the konjac with a stone mortar and blow up the basket of konjac sent by the Zhao family.
"Aunt Liu, what are these? I don't look like taro. ”
Wu Jing began to stick to Liu Wan again.
He thinks it's interesting what the people of the Wang family do.
"Ha, this is konjac, a meal replacement food, know how to make it, you can make konjac jelly, konjac jelly, you will know when I make it."
Wu Jing wanted to help, but Liu Wan said that he was a guest and would not let him do it.
Wu Jing said that he was a male baby, and it was right to do something small.
Liu Wan dispelled his thoughts with a word, and said:
"Don't you have a cold? Take care of your body first, then do anything else. ”
Wu Jing had no choice but to obey.
If it was at home, Zhou would care if he was sick or not, and he couldn't wait to let him do any work.
In Liu Wan, Wu Jing experienced the long-lost maternal love.
After Liu Wan turned the konjac into slag, she put the mallet konjac in the wooden barrel next to it, and then she added some clean well water to the wooden barrel, the water just covered the konjac slag, and then used a big wooden stick to stir it vigorously in the bucket, stirring out a lot of white slurry.
"Aunt Liu, what are you doing here?"
Wu Jing watched it with relish.
"Refining konjac powder."
Liu Wan said with a grin.
She felt that Wu Jing was very well-behaved, and she pitied his background, so she was very polite to him.
Liu Wan asked Wang Lian to find a clean wooden barrel, cover it with a piece of muslin cloth for filtration, and then strain the konjac syrup juice that had just been pounded through the muslin cloth.
The clean slurry water is slowly filtered out, and it is as white as milk.
When all the konjac syrup was filtered, Liu Wan rolled up the filter cloth, twisted it hard like collaring clothes, and the final slurry seeped out of the filter cloth, and then shook off the filter cloth, leaving only konjac dregs.
Wu Jing patronized and watched the excitement, and forgot to think about a question, that is: Aunt Liu's strength is so great?
After the remaining konjac residue was wrapped into a ball by the filter cloth, the diameter was also half a meter, and Liu Wan actually squeezed it into slag by herself.
Normal men can't do it, right? At least two people have to be wrenched together to complete it.
Liu Wan said that these scum don't need to be thrown away, they can be taken to the Bull Demon King to eat.
The Bull Demon King is the family's cultivated cow, and his name is given by Wang Li.
Because Liu Wan always told them the story of "Journey to the West", Liu Wan has recently talked about the passage where Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King are worshipped, so Wang Li gave his ploughing cow the name of the Bull Demon King, hoping that it can be as powerful as the Bull Demon King.
Hearing Liu Wan say this, Wang Li quickly took action and took the konjac dregs to the Bull Demon King to eat.
In order to prevent the dust from running into the starch water of the konjac, Liu Wan put a fine sieve on it and buckled it.
Liu Wan has a few geese at home, and the geese have long necks and curiosity, so they often stretch their necks into the bucket to stir around, which pollutes the konjac powder.
"Aunt Liu, can you propose konjac powder in this way?"
Wu Jing saw this kind of thing for the first time, and couldn't help but relish.
"That's right, after the water is left overnight, the water and the starch will be separated, and when the time comes, the water will be poured down, leaving the white starch, and after drying, it can be made into konjac strips and konjac cakes, and there are many ways to do it."
Liu Wan's bright optimism affected Wu Jing.
Compared with before, Wu Jing felt that Liu Wan's personality was completely different, and her face was frank and generous, unlike his stepmother Zhou, who only had calculations written on her face.
Wu Jing didn't understand why Liu Wan became like this, but he felt that the current Liu Wan would shine like the sun in the sky, and it would heat up, making people want to get close to her.
And in the process of talking to him, Liu Wan's attitude has always been very peaceful, and there is no sudden change in mood, so it will not make him feel afraid and uneasy.
Zhou's temperament is uncertain, sometimes she speaks well in the last second, and the next second she doesn't hear a word, she picks up the soles of her shoes and wants to beat someone.
This kind of Zhou made Wu Jing live in fear all the time.
And Liu Wan, who is emotionally stable, gives him warmth and a sense of security.
"Aunt Liu, I'll go see the Bull Demon King."
Wu Jing saw that this side was finished, so he hurried to see the excitement on Wang Li's side.
"Okay, go ahead, buckle the collar of your clothes, don't let the wind pour into your neck, it's just right to catch a cold, don't blow a cool breeze." After Liu Wan finished admonishing, she said, "Aunt Liu will make you fried chicken tonight." ”
Wu Jinggang pulled out his legs to leave, and when he heard Liu Wan say this, he couldn't help but stumble under his feet.
Yes? Did his ears hear it wrong?
If you heard it wrong, Liu Wan's move is too grand, right?
He's just an ordinary guest, fry a chicken for him to eat?
It's simply unheard of!
In the afternoon, you can eat big bone seafood and mushroom noodles, which is already a peerless delicacy, full of ingredients, reflecting the grandeur of hospitality etiquette, which has flattered Wu Jing, but I didn't expect there to be fried chicken in the evening?
After the death of his mother, he was not very old, and Wu Jing tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.
Therefore, he is a person who has no power, no power, no support, and nothing to covet, what is worthy of Liu Wan to treat with his heart?
Of course, Wu Jing knew that only people with status in the family were worthy of eating good food.
For example, his father, such as Wu Qing and Wu Shui, who are favored by the Zhou family, are qualified to eat well, and he will always be the most unqualified person, only worthy of eating leftovers.
In fact, Liu Wan was good to him purely because he had a poor background, he was thin and small, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind, he didn't look like a 17-year-old boy at all, and he looked like he was only about 14 years old at most.
Liu Wan felt sorry for him, and knew that the Zhou family was not good to him, so she naturally wanted to find some compensation for him.
Tonight, she originally promised Wang Lian to make butter bread, and she was moved by the idea and triggered the food task of the system, since Wu Jing came, she made fried chicken for him alone.
Liu Wan has already made the butter bread in the free space to make a brushed effect.
After tossing the konjac, she set out to make butter bread.
Knead the dough first, add an appropriate amount of water, milk, butter, sugar, and two beaten eggs to the fabric.
Then, knead the ingredients and the dough together, knead the dough continuously, and after kneading the dough until the surface is smooth and non-sticky, then put the dough in the basin and wait for the dough to rise.
Taking advantage of the free time, Liu Wan went to the oven near the gable to light a fire, and preheated the earthen oven first.
This oven was built by Liu Wan in accordance with the style of the Big Bear Country oven and asked Wang Jing to use adobe, which was used to roast chickens before, and it was quite easy to use.
