Chapter 248: The process is complicated

Iron slices are placed on a clean basin, and after the sweet potatoes are ground into crumbs, they naturally fall into the basin and become white sweet potato dregs, which contain a lot of starch, and sweet potato flour is made by extracting starch from these sweet potato dregs.

Grandma Xi took He Xiuman to grind sweet potato residue, and Gao Mingcheng went to the house to take out a few clean white cotton cloths, he cleaned the cotton cloth first, and then waited for backup.

The ground sweet potato residue also needs to add a little water, stir well, and then put it into a white cotton cloth together, filter the residue, and then obtain an aqueous solution containing starch.

After the aqueous solution is precipitated, it is white sweet potato starch.

These sweet potato starches are mixed with water to make a paste, which can be used to make sweet potato flour, or the sweet potato starch can be dried and preserved.

Sun-dried sweet potato starch can be mixed into a paste at any time to make sweet potato powder, and can also be used for cooking, it can be used as tender meat powder, so that the taste of the meat becomes tender, it can also be thickened, and it can also be fried directly.

After mixing the sweet potato starch with water, pour it into the pot where the oil is put in it, and stir it all the time, and then it will become a ball of paste, after seasoning, continue to stir until the paste is ripe and becomes a jelly-like sticky substance, and you can put it on a plate and eat it.

This is also an emergency recipe in the winter when there is a shortage of fresh vegetables.

Gao Mingcheng When they get fresh starch, they will make it into sweet potato flour, so they don't need to dry it, and then dry it after making sweet potato flour.

Gao Mingcheng went outside the house to get some wood, and then used the wood to build a simple shelf, with triangular wooden stakes on both sides, and a wooden pole the thickness of a wrist in the middle, and then took out the large and small pots in the house and placed them under the wooden poles.

After getting ready, he pinched the corners of the white cotton cloth with his hands and said to Gao Zhuang, "Bring a pot of sweet potato pomace." ”

"Hey."

Gao Zhuang responded, picked up a pot of sweet potato pomace, and poured it on the white cotton cloth, the water through the white cotton cloth, directly dripped into the basin below, and the sweet potato pomace remained in the white cotton cloth.

With Gao Zhuang's movements, the cotton cloth became heavier and heavier, but Gao Mingcheng's wrist was very stable and did not shake, and when the basin was finished, he also pinched the sweet potato residue wrapped in the cloth with his hand, squeezed out all the water in it, and then asked Gao Zhuang to pour another pot of sweet potato residue.

After pouring two pots, the sweet potato residue wrapped in Brie was a little too much to hold anymore.

So Gao Mingcheng tied the four corners of the cloth to the horizontal wooden pole, and relied on gravity to make the remaining water drip into the basin.

At this time, the water in the basin is white turbidity, and after standing and precipitating for a period of time, the starch sinks, the water floats, and the sweet potato starch is successfully separated.

If the color of sweet potato starch is not white and brown, then you can also add some clean water after pouring out the water to stir and re-settle.

Some dirty things will float in the water, and then after settling, just pour the water away.

It's not complicated, but everything takes time.

It took two hours for the four of them to grind all the sweet potatoes into sweet potato pulp. said that it was four people who did it, but He Xiuman, as a pregnant woman, did the least, and he was busy before and after, relying on Gao Mingcheng and Gao Zhuang.

In the evening, many beauties came back from her second sister's house, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw a lively group of people working.

Seeing her come back, Grandma Xi asked her if the condition of Duoyu was good and if the child was okay.

A lot of beauty naturally said yes, and briefly talked about the production process of a lot of jade, He Xiuman pricked up his ears and listened, his expression was serious.

In a few months, He Xiuman will also have a child, and she is naturally very concerned about this related topic.

Many Mei went to the kitchen to cook, and Grandma Xi and He Xiuman were also ready to go home.

Gao Mingcheng left them here to eat, but was politely refused.

Gao Mingcheng did not persuade them to stay, but said: "Grandma Xi, this sweet potato starch can be precipitated overnight, then you can come over tomorrow morning to make sweet potato powder!" ”

"Okay, I'll bring the tools to make sweet potato flour tomorrow." Grandma Xi responded with a smile, so she and He Xiuman went back to the old village first, leaving Gao Zhuang to finish here.

Gao Zhuang poured the last of the sweet potato residues into one of the cloth bags, and then helped Gao Mingcheng clean up the pots and buckets that he took out.

"Brother Mingcheng, let's come back tomorrow morning." Gao Zhuang waved at Gao Mingcheng and left with a smile.

In the process of washing sweet potatoes and grinding sweet potato residues, a lot of water was used, but Gao Mingcheng's well was really good, and after carrying so many buckets of water, there was no trend of bottoming out.

The water used to wash the sweet potatoes will not be wasted just like that, but poured into the corner of the wall, where some flowers and trees are planted.

After the others left, it was also dark, Gao Mingcheng checked the tools placed under the eaves, and made a total of three bags of sweet potato dregs, on the wooden shelf, a row of simple bags made of three white cotton cloths, which were filled with sweet potato dregs, and the basin at the bottom was also filled with aqueous solution.

The aqueous solution is still in a turbid state and takes time to change.

"Mingcheng, it's time to eat." In the kitchen, many beauties shouted.

At the dinner table, the two chatted while eating.

"My second sister's family also has a lot of sweet potatoes, but they are afraid of spoilage, so they have long chopped the sweet potatoes and dried them, saying that they are used to cook porridge in winter." A lot of beauty said.

Her family did not have a cellar, her father was not in good health in the last few years, and the family only had four daughters, so they did not dig their own cellar.

Later, after Duoyu and Zhang Chengyuan got married, Zhang Chengyuan wanted to find a place to dig a cellar, but he was excluded and not allowed to dig, so until now, there is no cellar at home.

And after the sweet potatoes are dug up, if they are not placed in the cellar, they are easy to spoil, and it will be wasted.

It's all grown with hard work, and no one is willing to waste it, there is no water, and it can't be made into sweet potato flour for preservation, so it is directly dried.

Sun-dried sweet potatoes can be stored until the winter to cook porridge and eat.

Gao Mingcheng said: "His family doesn't have time to make sweet potato flour this year, so let's ask your brother, do you still want to dig a cellar?" If you want to dig it, you can dig it next to our cellar, and no one dares to say anything here. ”

"Okay." A lot of beauty should be answered, and then he told interesting stories about newborns with a smile.

But Gao Mingcheng listened lazily, in his previous life, many beauties also took good care of this nephew, and if there was a stutter at home, they were willing to share it with him, and then the family had money, and he also covered his nephew's tuition, and this nephew was also the seed of study, all the way to the capital, and finally worked and bought a house in the capital, and he may not come back once a year, even if he came back, he didn't treat many beauties well.

Later, many beautiful thoughts talked about this, and there was a sense of grievance in his heart, but Gao Mingcheng didn't say anything, after all...... He also covered the tuition fees of his nephews and nieces, and there are rewards for doing well in the exam.

And his nephews and nieces didn't treat him very well when they grew up.

So in this matter, he and many beauties are half a pound and eight taels.

Now that he sees that many beauties are interested in this nephew again, Gao Mingcheng thought to himself, the plan to have a baby should be advanced!

When many beauties have their own children, that love will naturally be transferred.

And in this life, he will raise his children with many beauties and feel the joy and fatigue of being a father.

As for other people's children, if they are good, they will boast about them, but if they are not good...... That's not his business!

Parents take care of their own babies!
