Lin Mingming and the dragon and phoenix fetus have been watching the eldest sister's operation curiously from the side.

Lin Mingming pointed to the white powder in the crockpot and asked, "Sister, what is this?" ”

Lin Qianqian lied without blushing at all, she said seriously: "This is a medicine called Jianzi, add this, konjac will not be poisonous." ”

In fact, konjac itself has a unique fishy smell, which is not delicious if eaten directly, and adding edible alkali can remove its fishy smell and make it taste better.

Edible alkali also has a function, which is to solidify konjac puree and lock in moisture, and the konjac tofu tasted smoother.

This is a modern chemical application in daily life.

I couldn't say it clearly, so Lin Qianqian simply didn't say it.

Konjac tofu has been considered ready so far, and whether it can be successful will not be known until the konjac has cooled.

While waiting, Lin Qian and the first few people went to the back of the yard to help Father Lin and Aunt Lin dig the cellar.

The original cellar was about five meters long, wide and high, only more than 20 square meters, and this small cellar was enough for the Lin family, who had little grain before.

But now it is different, the family has money, and the grain harvested in the autumn does not need to be sold for money, and after a few days the villagers have dug up the horses' hooves, there are still 2,000 catties of horse's hooves that need to be put into the cellar.

Father Lin and Aunt Lin have already dug a big kang next to the old cellar, and the entrance to the cellar has taken shape.

Lin Qian's first few people joined in to help load and transport soil, and the family was in full swing.

The morning passed quietly.

When the sun rose to the middle of the sky, Lin Qianqian beckoned Lin Yueyue to make lunch together, leaving Father Lin and the others to continue working.

Lin Qian first lifted the lid of the pot to see if the konjac was formed.

She took a spatula and gently cut it along the edge of the pot, separating the konjac from the iron pot.

After separating the konjac from the bonding part of the iron pot, she used a shovel to pick up the side of the konjac, and reached in to take out the konjac tofu that had solidified into pieces.

Lin Qian patted the konjac tofu in front of him, and it was crackling and elastic.

She laughed, she didn't expect to be so successful in making konjac tofu for the first time.

She instructed Lin Yueyue: "Xiaoyue, you go to the backyard to see if there are any dogwoods, and pick some back." ”

Dogwood is a small mountain fruit that looks like a wolfberry, but the taste is very different from that of a wolfberry.

It has a slight aroma and tastes spicy, which is a boon for spicy people in this era.

To put it simply, it's an ancient version of chili.

The fruit ripens in autumn and is now found all over the mountains.

Of course, konjac tofu is indispensable for spiciness, and if there is less spiciness, there is less soul.

Lin Yueyue didn't say a word, and immediately rushed to the backyard.

Lin Qianqian cut the konjac tofu into thin slices, like modern pho, and she prepared a cold konjac tofu.

At the same time as she cut the konjac tofu, Lin Yueyue also picked the dogwood and came back.

She took the dogwoods, smashed them, put the oil in a hot pan and heated it, then added the dogwood and stir-fried until a bowl of spicy oil was ready.

Lin Qian passed the blanched konjac tofu in cold water, then scooped it into a wooden basin, added salt, sweet noodle sauce, sesame paste, and spicy oil, and then stirred these seasonings and konjac tofu evenly.

Soon, a large pot of konjac tofu was ready.

Lin Yueyue stared at the side with round eyes, and at this time, when Lin Qian went to touch the eggs in the chicken coop, she couldn't help but secretly pinched one and put it in her mouth.

Smooth and elastic, fragrant and spicy, one went down, it felt like I hadn't eaten it, and after Lin Yueyue finished eating one, she couldn't help but pick up the second one.

In the end, he simply stood in front of the stove with chopsticks and ate it.

After the Li family sent two chickens at noon yesterday, Father Lin went up the mountain in the afternoon to cut wood and build a simple chicken coop to place them.

At this time, the two chickens went to the backyard to forage for food, and Lin Qian bent down to touch the chicken coop, and immediately touched two eggs.

She smiled and walked back to the stove room with the eggs, and saw Lin Yueyue lying next to the wooden basin eating with a mouth full of oil.

Lin Qianqian smiled helplessly, "Go and call my father and mother back, and I'll cook another soup and start the meal." ”

Lin Yueyue covered her mouth full of konjac tofu and ran to the backyard.

The soup to be made before the forest is simple, wild vegetable and egg drop soup.

Stir-fry the wild vegetables until they are half-cooked, add water to boil, and then beat the eggs and put them in.

The family quickly sat down for lunch.

There was no meat at all in this meal, but the family ate with a greasy mouth and a happy face, no worse than the feeling of eating meat.

Lin Guangguang held the bowl and added: "Eldest sister, your noodles are so delicious, how can they be better than what we ate in the county yesterday?" ”

Daddy Lin picked up the gray konjac tofu and looked at it with a puzzled expression, "Girl, there is no black noodles at home, how do you make your noodles this color?" ”

Lin Mingming lowered his head and asked vaguely while cooking, "Eldest sister, why is the konjac you cooked in the morning missing?" ”

Although Aunt Lin didn't speak, she also carefully tasted the "noodles" with different textures in her mouth.

Lin Yueyue couldn't help laughing first, laughing so much that she sprayed the konjac tofu that she had just eaten in her mouth.

She wiped the konjac tofu hanging out of her mouth and said, "This is konjac tofu, haha, you didn't eat it, did you?" ”

The family all stopped their chopsticks and looked at Lin Qianqian in confusion.

Lin Qianqian explained with a smile: "Xiao Yue is right, this is indeed konjac tofu, after I cooked it, it solidified and formed, I just cut it into the shape of noodles, what do you think of the taste?" ”

Daddy Lin took a bite of konjac tofu in disbelief and chewed it carefully in his mouth.

After taking a bite of konjac tofu, he showed a surprised expression, "Big girl, is this really made of konjac?" How can it be so delicious? Oh my God, if konjac can be eaten, then there are so many grows by the river, everyone can eat it, and everyone will not have to go hungry. ”

Daddy Lin said a long list of words excitedly.

Lin Qianqian grabbed the conversation, "I'll tell you one thing, I plan to take this konjac tofu to the county to buy, it's very troublesome to make, I don't plan to disclose my practice, if someone comes to ask, you can just push it on me." ”

She is not a virgin, and there is no need to share everything with others.

She has already shared the horseshoe, although this konjac tofu can be seen everywhere, but she does not plan to share it.

The Buddha said, "Crossing others first crosses oneself."

She doesn't mind pulling someone a hand when she's able.

But now that their family's condition is so bad, it is difficult for them to protect themselves, how can they go to cross people?

The main reason why she shared the horseshoe was because it was troublesome to dig up, and the quantity was limited, so if she sold it, she could only sell this batch, and there would be no more after it was sold, which was not a long-term solution.

But konjac is different, this thing has a tenacious vitality, growing under the sparse forest, at the edge of the forest or on both sides of the valley, and she has found a lot of konjac around Dandanquxi Village.

Yesterday she went to the county and found that a lot had grown on both sides of the Tay River.

This is a business with great potential, and if it is done well, it can last for a long time.
