Chapter 62: Croquettes
The fire set by Lin Zhong disrupted Lin Banxia's plans, and also broke the balance between what she thought and Xia Changyan.
It is true that this courtyard was exchanged for a Quyuan plow by Lin Banxia, and Xia Changyan owed her.
However, sending the yard over in this way when Lin Banxia needed it the most had to be said to be just right.
It was difficult for Lin Banxia to be indifferent to this.
The opposite of Xia Changyan is the attitude of the parents of this body towards the Lin family.
Since the crossing, Lin Banxia has regarded Lin Yiwang as her father, but at this moment, a trace of sadness appeared in her heart.
Occupying this body, no matter how much she does to this family, she can't resist the status of blood in Lin Yi's heart.
Lin Banxia had always thought that she would guard her father and mother in this world for the rest of her life, but now, she felt that she had to reconsider.
Lin Banxia didn't use much for dinner, and after eating, he shirked his tiredness and returned to the room.
After taking a shower and lying on the soft futon, Lin Banxia sighed deeply.
She admitted that she was touched by Xia Changyan's thoughtfulness.
Although Xia Changyan did not appear in front of her for a few days, the red bricks and tiles sent to the village, the craftsmen sent, this house, everything in the house, all had Xia Changyan's shadow.
also reminded Lin Banxia all the time that the more she escaped, the more contact she had with Xia Changyan.
"Dangdang." There was a gentle knock on the door, and Wang's voice came from outside, "Banxia, you didn't sleep, it's your mother." ”
Lin Banxia hurriedly got up and opened the door: "Mother, I'm tired all day, why don't you rest early." ”
Wang entered the room and looked at Lin Banxia first, and then took Lin Banxia's hand and sat down together.
"Banxia, I've wronged you." Wang said softly.
Lin Banxia was slightly stunned, and a warm current welled up in her heart: "Mother, what are you talking about, where am I wronged." ”
Wang took Lin Banxia's hand and patted it gently: "That's your food, you haven't eaten a bite, you were burned ......"
Lin Banxia shook his head: "Mother." ”
Wang continued: "Your father, he is also uncomfortable. On one side is his father, mother, brother, and on the other hand, his wife and children.
Banxia, you don't know, your father didn't sleep all night last night, and he felt uncomfortable.
It was his eldest brother who set the fire, and it was his father and mother who did not distinguish between right and wrong.
Last night, your dad asked me if he shouldn't have been born in the first place. ”
Wang sighed softly, "Your father is an honest man, he is just too honest." Banxia, don't blame your father, okay? ”
Lin Banxia said with a smile: "Mother, my father is a good person, and my mother is also a good person, how can I complain about my father."
Mother, don't worry, grandparents will live here. Ming's father will go to the yamen to take the uncle back here.
Today, Lord Shen told me that the soybean oil pressing machine is ready, and he is waiting for me to go over and produce oil.
Mother, our family's days will get better and better. ”
The corners of Wang's eyes moistened, and she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it: "Banxia, you rest early, don't be tired, ah." ”
"Mother, you and Dad should rest early." Lin Banxia kept sending the Wang family out of the courtyard before walking back slowly.
She was calm at the moment, and was not affected by Wang's words.
After breakfast the next day, Steward Xu sent someone to pick her up.
The soybean oil squeezing device has been pulled into the palace, and Xia Changyan, Shen Cheng and Zhou Sheng are discussing around.
After saluting each other, Lin Banxia bowed to Xia Changyan and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness." ”
Xia Changyan said with a smile: "The sugar factory needs manpower and space, and it also needs Miss Lin's guidance, so naturally it is necessary to solve Miss Lin's worries."
That yard is what Miss Lin deserves, and there is no need to thank me, Miss Lin doesn't complain that I delayed for too long to get ready to come out. ”
Lin Banxia said with a smile: "The prince said this, it seems that I am stingy." ”
Shen Cheng smiled beside him: "The icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, and the prince is just right to send charcoal in the snow." ”
Zhou Sheng also joked: "Exactly, Lin Xiangjun's housewarming, when will you invite us as guests?" ”
Lin Banxia said: "When my father's snack bar opens, I must invite the prince and the two adults to try it." ”
The four of them laughed together.
Steward Xu said beside him: "Miss Lin, this soybean was overwhelmed yesterday, you can see if it is suitable." ”
There were two large baskets of soybeans, all of which were crushed into pieces, Lin Banxia reached out and held them, nodded and said, "This is suitable." ”
And he said, "Steam in the pot for a while." ”
Commanding his subordinates to wrap soybean fragments in a white cloth and place them on the cage drawer.
Lin Banxia explained: "Smoked by the heat, the soybeans will be slightly softer and produce better oil. ”
The steamed soybeans are wrapped in cloth and placed in a round bucket, and the iron is pressed on the top, and the subordinate twists the handle vigorously and then takes the iron away, and the beans are squeezed into a round cake.
This is the bean cake blank.
Then put it in a metal drum with holes next to it, like the inner drum of a washing machine.
Lin Banxia approached and touched the spiral groove on the inner edge of the iron bucket, which was very smooth.
I just don't know if I can have enough pressure.
The five steamed bean cakes were put in together, and a thick, round iron plate on top was carefully inserted, slowly advancing along the spiral force.
Seeing the iron plate squeezed down in circles, the faces of the people shaking their rocker arms turned red, and their arms were trembling.
There is an aroma in the iron drum, but there is no trace of grease.
Xia Changyan commanded: "Lead the cow over." ”
After a while, a sturdy ox was led into the yard, and the rocker arm was lengthened and tied around the cow's neck.
The oxen were driven forward, and sure enough, the iron plate swirled into the groove again.
"It's oily!" Zhou Sheng screamed in surprise.
Drops of brown grease seeped out along the holes in the walls of the iron barrels, and bursts of soybean oil's unique aroma also came out.
The cow mooed and moved a step forward, and the oil actually flowed straight through the hole.
Zhou Sheng stepped forward and dipped his finger in some oil, put it in his mouth and licked it, and then looked at his finger a little oily.
Lin Banxia couldn't help but smile: "Lord Zhou, this oil is still raw, and it is delicious when it is fried." ”
"This, Lin Xiangjun, can it really replace the big oil?" Zhou Sheng asked with his fingers outstretched.
"Try?" Lin Banxia raised his eyebrows.
Try it when you say it.
Steward Xu directly found the cook and brought Lin Banxia's tofu, white noodles, green onions, ginger, radish, and eggs.
The radish is cut into thin strips, wrung out with salt, add chopped green onion and minced ginger, beat in two eggs, a bowl of noodles and a piece of tofu, add salt and stir well.
The soybean oil is also strained in rice paper and put into an iron pot, and when the hot oil is faintly oily, squeeze the mixed filling into balls and put it into the pot.
Immediately, a rich aroma wafted out, and in a short time the balls were fried to golden brown and fished out.
Lin Banxia picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
It's been a long time.
This vegetarian radish ball, which is full of the taste of the previous life, is really a long time gone.
