When Li Changqiang gave the eggs, he didn't see how Li Changhui greeted him, as if he had a sense in his heart, as soon as he raised his hand, the aurora flew over, standing firmly on the back of the cow, and saw Lin He's eyes shine.

And Li Changqiang came back after a while, telling them that the person who collected the eggs said that he still wanted a basket of lotus roots.

Li Changhui didn't refuse, but only asked him to load another basket of lotus roots and send them over.

Lin He yawned, turned around and went back to his room to take a nap.

It's best if her man doesn't want to go back, and if he wants to go back, then the two of them will have to go their separate ways.

She doesn't have any big ambitions, and her biggest wish in this life is to be able to eat and drink spicy food, and to be a person who can lie down and never stand.

Just from what Li Changhui accidentally revealed, it is enough to prove that his original family background is not good.

Everything else is fine, but such a family is destined to act with many restrictions, which is not what she wants.

Fortunately, Li Changhui did not disappoint her.

Soon there was one more person around, Lin He rolled around, next to Li Changhui's side, the weather was cold, how comfortable it was for the two of them to huddle together to keep warm.

There was a chuckle above his head, Lin He ignored him, closed his eyes and fell asleep in less than a minute.

The lotus root was dug for two days in a row, and finally a few acres of ponds were dug up, and then the lotus root that was already sprouting was planted.

The speed of planting is much faster, after all, the planting is more scattered, and it is enough to bury it in the silt.

During this period, there were also a lot of small fish floating in the pond, which were choked to death by muddy water, and they were picked up and washed to feed the ducks and geese, and they were not wasted.

After all the lotus roots are planted, let the muddy water that has been trampled on for several days settle down, and then reopen the gate to release the water.

When the water level rises halfway, the fish and shrimp in the canal are re-fished and poured back into the pond, and then the outlet is released.

During the digging of lotus roots, in addition to the big turtle caught by Li Changhui, there were also five turtles of all sizes, the smallest of which was only the size of a fist, and the largest was the size of a noodle bowl.

However, these soft-shelled turtles were all thrown back to the pond by Lin He, and told everyone that the Li family collects soft-shelled turtles, and anyone who finds soft-shelled turtles outside in the future can send them over.

As for what was dug in the Li family's field, it naturally belonged to the Li family, which is everyone's common perception.

Just like when they catch yellow eels in the summer, they will never go to other people's fields to catch them, if they are discovered, the two families will be scolded at the least, and the two families will be able to fight.

Anyway, I can hear about this once or twice a year, after all, there are always people who see yellow eels in other people's paddy fields, and they can't help but catch them first.

You know, where is this yellow eel, this is money!

The pond soon returned to its original water level, and the ducks and geese were able to swim again, except that the original withered lotus leaves on the surface of the water disappeared, and there was a lot of dry and hard silt on the edge of the pond, and everything else was exactly the same as before.

And next, Lin He has other things to do.

The lotus root has been dug up, the one that should be sold has been sold, the seed that should have been left has been kept, and now it is time to make lotus root powder.

My family makes sweet potato flour every year, and even makes sweet potato noodles.

However, vermicelli has to be processed elsewhere, whether it was in Yonghe Town in the past or now in Nanzhi County, there are vermicelli processing workshops.

But starch is made at home, all kinds of large water tank filters are available, and the people who make starch are also veterans.

This time I made lotus root powder, and it was naturally the same.

I deliberately chose a day with good weather, and then I was busy in full swing.

Fetching water, washing, cutting into pieces, and then bringing a donkey, pulling a huge grinding disc, grinds the lotus root into fine pieces.

The millstone is behind the house, the well is also in the backyard, and more than a dozen people are busy working under the eaves of the backyard.

The strainer hanging from the beams of the house, followed by a large water tank, is almost full, and when it is almost full, it is carried into another water tank.

Whether it is to make starch or lotus root flour, it needs a lot of water.

And Lin He had to do a little too much, so that he only did half of it on the first day, so he had to stop, wait for the well to be filled with water overnight, and then continue the next day.

Lin He doesn't like that there are too many people in the backyard, after all, the locked rooms in the backyard are all jars of wine.

So after all the lotus root flour was polished and filtered, everyone was busy with other things, and she and Li Changhui came by themselves.

After the precipitation of lotus root flour, scoop out the water directly on it and pour it out.

The most superficial layer of lotus root powder is a little brownish, and it should be carefully shoveled out with a shovel and packed separately, which is some residue that has not been filtered clean.

However, these should not be wasted, and they will also be washed many times, and in the summer, they will be made into desserts and distributed to the people who work to relieve the heat, and everyone will only be happy.

The following lotus root flour also has to be cleaned many times, the initial water is poured out, and after the impurities are shoveled off, all the lotus root flour is shoveled open, broken into small pieces, mixed with water, and then continues to precipitate.

Of course, this last step of stirring has to be done by Li Changhui himself, and her strength is not enough.

There is still a layer of impurities in the lotus root powder that has been precipitated again, and it is still scooped out after pouring out the water, and so on two or three times, the lotus root powder is cleaned to snow white and clean, which is very gratifying.

And that's not all.

Use the finest cotton cloth, put the lotus root powder and hang it under the beams, then use a clean wooden basin below, hang it for two days, no dripping, and then start the drying step.

The starch of this kind of lotus root flour is very fine, so you can't use a bamboo sieve directly, but you should spread a clean cotton cloth on top of the bamboo sieve and dry the lotus root powder on the cotton cloth.

These things were taught by the eldest aunt before, and Lin He has become more and more proficient over the years.

At the beginning, the lotus root powder with impurities was also rinsed several times and packed in a smaller basin, and the area was smaller, and the upper layer of impurities would be thicker, so it could be shoveled out and thrown away.

However, no matter how much you clean it, these still can't reach the snow-white level of other lotus root powders, so I don't plan to mix them together.

After being so busy for almost a month, I finally bagged the thoroughly dried lotus root powder.

And Xie Jiang came to the door as early as the first day they started making lotus root flour and ordered all the lotus root flour.

Well, except for what Lin He wanted to stay, he ordered the others.

However, before Xie Jiang came, the two had another very important matter.

"More than 700 pounds? 10,000 catties of lotus root, more than 700 catties of lotus root powder? ”

This powder rate is not low, Lin He looked at the numbers in front of him and recalculated, that's right, more than seven hundred and thirty catties!

Li Changhui put the last bag of lotus root powder aside, and next to him, there were a dozen such small sacks.

"How much to keep? The rest of Xie Jiang urged to ask for it. ”

Lin He waved his hand: "Leave a hundred catties!" ”

Li Changhui had a slap in his hand: "A hundred catties? Can you finish eating? ”

I bought two catties of lotus root noodles last year, and I can still eat two more bowls of it.

Lotus root flour is used to make desserts a lot, but the people in their family, well, don't seem to like desserts very much, and only taste them occasionally.

"It's not just a few of us who eat, we make some cold desserts in the summer, there are many people who work, and it consumes quickly."

Lin He has never been stingy with those who work, especially those who work hard.
