Portable space

"Brother, don't you eat purple radishes?" Fan Ming poked his head into the bedroom and asked.

Zhang Taiping had a rare late sleep today, opened his eyes to see the sunlight coming in from the window, and asked, "What time is it?"

Fan Ming looked back at the alarm clock hanging on the middle wall and replied, "It's nine o'clock."

"It's nine o'clock? This sleep is really long." Patted his head and asked, "What did you just say?"

Fan Ming raised the purple heart radish in his hand and said, "There is a purple radish, do you want to eat it?"

Zhang Taiping took out a few purple heart radishes from the space last night, but he was full of other things, so these two radishes were kept.

"Don't eat radishes, you can eat them." Zhang Taiping waved his hand and said.

After Fan Ming closed the door and went out, Zhang Taiping didn't put on any clothes. He sat on the edge of the kang and turned on the computer. Will take a look.

I closed QQ casually, opened the webpage, and searched for some information about raising pigs and how to build a pig house.

It's a pity that most of the above are small pig houses, and there is no way to build such a large pig house on the Internet.

It seems that I have to find an expert to come to the village to guide me.

After I put on my clothes, I went outside. Inside the yard, a group of old hens were vying for circles of purple radish skins.

Move your body, wash up and go into the kitchen.Everyone was in the kitchen, but the cauldron was steaming, so you didn't need to think about it to know that breakfast was hot.

The most common corn porridge with two fist-sized steamed buns and a bowl of old sauerkraut can taste warm and the most sincere feelings in the world.

I walked around the house and saw no one.I went to the south side of the pond to look again, but there was still no one. People, big and small, all disappeared. Only the grimace was lazily lying under the south wall basking in the sun, and wagged its tail when it saw Zhang Taiping.

Xiao Xi, who was jumping up and down on the lotus leaf and devouring the dewdrops, saw Zhang Taiping and flew towards him like an arrow. When he was approaching, she flicked her wings and lightly landed on his shoulders.

"Chichi." He shook his head nimbly, and lightly pecked at the hair around his ear.

Zhang Taiping understood what it meant, he opened his hand, and several moist strawberries appeared in the palm of his hand.

The little guy chirped again happily, then landed on the palm of his hand and pecked a few strawberries.

Zhang Taiping put Xiaoxi on his shoulder again, wiped the strawberry juice on his hands and asked, "Where has your master been?"

The little guy stopped for a while with his head tilted, as if he was thinking, and then suddenly flew into the air and flew out of the yard.

Zhang Taiping smiled, followed behind it and walked towards you outside.

Xiao Xifei was in the front, stopping on the tree from time to time to read Zhang Taiping Book or not, followed, and did not stop until the center of the village.

Zhang Taiping also saw a group of people lined up in a long line, and each person was holding two basins in their hands.

After getting closer, I found that the pots were full of yams, and some were still steaming, obviously steamed.

"It's just steamed, do you want to try it?" A person said politely when he saw Zhang Taiping looking into the basin.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "No." Pointing to the figure of Cai Yazhi in front of him, he said, "It's also steamed."

Cai Yazhi was also holding a basin at the front of the line, which must have been steamed yams.Fan Ming stood next to Da Nier with an empty basin, talking and laughing.

In front of the crowd was a huge rock with a foot-deep hole dug in the middle. Someone was using this hammer to smash it hard, and while smashing it, they put steamed yams in it.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Taiping remembered that it was smashing Ciba.

Speaking of this glutinous rice cake, although it is an invention of a countryman, it has been widely spread all over the country.Moreover, the customs and habits and the time for making glutinous rice cakes vary from place to place.

People in most areas are used to making glutinous rice cakes in the twelfth lunar month.

Ciba used to be one of the must-have foods for every household in Xinyang during the Chinese New Year.Years ago, every family made glutinous rice cakes, and relatives and neighbors came to help.

Every household in the countryside of Minqing has wooden pestle, stone mortar and other tools for making glutinous rice cakes. During the Spring Festival, every family will make glutinous rice cakes.At this time, the children happily watched the adults make the glutinous rice cakes, until they saw the adults put the beaten glutinous rice cakes in the basin and knead them into balls. The fragrant golden and translucent glutinous rice cakes are so gluttonous that they can't wait to eat them right away.

It takes a lot of work to eat the glutinous rice cakes. The glutinous rice cakes are sticky and thick, and you can’t break them apart to eat. However, country people like to eat meat in large pieces and drink heavily. For the gentle and elegant urbanites, when faced with this giant glutinous rice balls, they really want to eat but are afraid of being sticky, and even more afraid of being laughed at if they don’t look good.However, the chef thought of this and refined the traditional glutinous rice balls into small apple-sized balls, which can still be broken open and eaten without losing the original characteristics.However, if you want to taste the taste of sticky glutinous rice cakes, it is best to try eating big glutinous glutinous rice balls, accompanied by large pieces of pork and a large bowl of shochu, to experience farm life, which is very interesting.

Sichuan people make glutinous rice cakes before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which symbolizes harvest, celebration and reunion. It is a must-have product for the Mid-Autumn Festival and moon cakes.In some places in Sichuan folk, sweet-scented osmanthus is added to the glutinous rice cakes to make laurel glutinous rice cakes, dipped in fried soybean noodles and white sugar to eat, the taste is quiet and elegant, sweet and refreshing, and has a unique flavor.

In other places, cooked red beans and other bean products are wrapped in hot glutinous rice cakes, an appropriate amount of salt is added, cut into oval pieces and fried in cooked vegetable oil.

Guanzhong and Sichuan are closest, so the time is similar, but there are still some differences. Sichuan is before the Mid-Autumn Festival, while Guanzhong is on the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The more important difference is that glutinous rice is used to make glutinous rice cakes in other places, but people in the Guanzhong area, especially those in the mountains, are used to making glutinous rice cakes with yams.In fact, in the final analysis, it is still glutinous rice, and yams are indeed everywhere.

If glutinous rice is used to make glutinous rice cakes, the production process is fine.

After the good glutinous rice is steamed, beat it with a pestle until the glutinous rice is completely melted and looks like a cotton ball.Put more fillings in the water glutinous rice cakes, such as bean paste, lotus paste, sesame osmanthus sugar, etc. The texture is delicate and flexible, white and beautiful. If it is steaming when it comes out of the cage, then wrap it with some white sugar or cooked soybean powder, it will be more delicious and delicious. It is smooth and sweet, but it is much easier for people in the mountains to make rice cakes with yams, and there are not so many condiments to make.However, even with a simple production method, it will be strong and refreshing after coming out, and it is a good local delicacy.

"Crack. Crack."

At this moment, two people were selling land and pounding the stone trough with a mallet, while the woman next to them kept putting yams in it.

Making glutinous rice cakes looks easy, but it is really not easy.Generally, beginners' gavels are either stuck for a while and cannot be lifted, or they "fight" with each other for a while, and it doesn't take long for their arms to feel limp and weak.To be honest, making glutinous rice cakes is actually a technical job. It pays attention to speed, accuracy, stability and ruthlessness. Only in this way can the beating be even, firm, sticky and tough.

One old and one young, you hit me, even though it's autumn and it's no longer hot, both of them are shirtless and sweating non-stop.

Finally arrived at Zhang Taiping's house, Cai Yazhi originally wanted to fight with Zhang Taiping, but Zhang Taiping didn't let her do it.

Generally, two people are required to fight. One reason is that two people can hit evenly with both left and right bows. The other reason is that this job is too tiring, and it is too much for one person to swing the hammer continuously.But these are not problems for Zhang Taiping.

Seeing him ready to pick up two wooden hammers by himself, Wang Laoqiang stepped forward and said, "Let me help you."

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "I will come alone."

"How do you use two hammers by yourself?" Wang Laoqiang asked puzzled.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Just look at it."

Wang Laoqiang took two steps back after hearing this.Zhang Taiping started to hold two mallets, one on the left and one on the right, and started to swing them like the wind.

I could only hear the sound of crackling, Zhang Taiping swung the two mallets from left to right, no slower than two people, and he circled the stone trough while waving his hands and feet, thus solving the problem of unevenness .

The villagers next to them were dumbfounded. It's not like no one has tried this before, but they couldn't move anymore after a few strokes.But looking at Zhang Taiping again, he became more and more vigorous, and his speed became faster and faster.

He kept this speed and finished the rice cake, and then helped Wang Laoqiang, Wang Peng, and Lu Feng's family to fight, and he didn't look tired at all.

After stopping, an old man patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Master, this body is just right!"

On the way to go, Zhang Taiping asked, "Why don't you see other people?"

Cai Yazhi replied: "Sister Xing said today that she is going to do some business in the city, and by the way, she will bring a few girls into the city for a stroll."

Zhang Taiping nodded, and asked Fan Ming beside him, "Why didn't you follow?"

"What's interesting in the city? I'm not going. It would be nice to ask Da Nier to tell me about the things in the university at home." Fan Ming rolled her beautiful eyes and said, shaking a piece of dog's tail grass.

I don't know who I learned the action of rolling my eyes from, but no matter what the beautiful girl does, it is pleasing to the eye.

Cai Yazhi asked: "What do you plan to have for lunch?"

The glutinous rice cakes are soft when they are first made, and they are all placed in a basin, and they will become one piece when cooled.There are many ways to eat it. It can be fried, boiled, roasted, boiled with rum and added sugar, and can be heated in a microwave oven.

"Chuan Ciba." Zhang Taiping replied.

The so-called "Sichuan glutinous rice cake" is to cut the cooled glutinous rice cake into small pieces of two centimeters, and then put it together with vegetables, and it comes out hot and delicious.

Cai Yazhi nodded: "But there are no more steamed buns, so I will bake a pot helmet first when I get back."

Fan Ming pointed to the glutinous rice cakes that had turned into a big ball in the basin and asked, "Can this be eaten now?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Of course it's fine, the yams are already steamed."

"Then I'll try a piece?" Fan Ming said, curling his fingers.

"Taste."

Fan Ming dug a small piece with his fingers and put it in his mouth, saying: "It's sticky and still very strong, it's delicious." After collecting it, he dug a piece.

Cai Yazhi said with a smile: "If you like to eat, you can cool it down after you go back. It's not bad to eat."

Fan Ming applauded.

Most of the glutinous rice cakes in Guanzhong are made of yams, and the glutinous rice cakes sold outside are made of these two methods.The price is not low, a small bowl is at least four yuan, and in some places it can even be sold for eight yuan or ten yuan.

Zhang Taiping said: "Glutinous rice can also be made into glutinous rice cakes."

"Glutinous rice is also okay?" Cai Yazhi was surprised.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Of course, glutinous rice is used to make glutinous rice cakes in most other places. There are many ways to make glutinous rice cakes from glutinous rice. Only in the Guanzhong area do we use yams to make glutinous rice cakes."

"I don't know. If I knew, I would make some glutinous rice cakes."

"Using glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes takes a long time to prepare. After you go home, you soak some glutinous rice. After soaking for three days, take it out and steam it thoroughly in a steamer. Finally, put it in a stone trough like making potato glutinous rice cakes. Glutinous rice It is sticky, and the glutinous rice cakes produced are even more delicious than yam glutinous rice cakes." Zhang Taiping said.

"I don't know how to do it." Cai Yazhi said a little embarrassedly.

Zhang Taiping waved his hand indifferently and said: "You just need to prepare the rice, and I will show you how to make it. Or you can go online to check how to make it when you are free. There are many on the Internet. In the future If you don’t understand something, you can look it up online, you can basically find everything.”

Cai Yazhi nodded.

When Fan Ming was not paying attention, Cai Yazhi asked softly, "Is the glutinous rice in there ripe?"

Zhang Taiping said: "It's mature, I've already collected it, and put it all in the bamboo building."

Back home, Zhang Taiping took out some glutinous rice from the space.Cai Yazhi soaked the glutinous rice in a big basin before cooking.

During lunch, Zhang Xiuxiu and Xiao Yu'er were also called over, and they had a rare meal together.

"Oh? Potato Ciba!" Zhang Xiuxiu said in surprise.It seems that she is also from Guanzhong, and knows the local specialty, because this food is made in a special way, if it is not a local, it is really impossible to guess what it is the first time you eat it.

Seeing the yam glutinous rice cake, the old man felt a little nostalgic, held the bowl in a daze for a while, and then said: "Put some on the altar in the back room later, your grandma and your father would like to eat this at that time."

After Cai Yazhi heard about it, she quickly got up, took a bowl, filled it, and took it to the back room.

The old man also felt that his inexplicable emotion made the atmosphere a little heavy, he picked up the bowl and said with a smile: "I'll go out for a walk."

In the village, wandering around while eating with a bowl like this is very common, so everyone didn't care.

After the old man left, Fan Ming said, "It's really delicious."

Zhang Taiping smiled, and put a lot of chili peppers for himself. After stirring, the soup on top turned red. There was no chemical coloring, it was the color of pure natural chili peppers.

Fan Ming took a breath and said, "There are so many spicy peppers, don't you think it's spicy?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "The hotter the taste, the more flavorful, why don't you try it too?"

"No, no." Fan Ming quickly shook his head.Eyeballs turned towards Xiao Yuer and asked, "Does Xiao Yuer want spicy food?"

Xiao Yuer smiled and shook her head.

Taking advantage of Wukong's inattention, Fan Ming quickly picked up a chopstick of hot peppers and put it into the bowl, then quickly picked up his own bowl and left the dining table.

Wukong has suffered from this spicy pepper, knowing how powerful this is, he immediately yelled angrily.But it didn't dare to pour out the rice in the bowl, because Zhang Taiping hated wasting the most at home.

I could only pick out most of the spicy peppers, but a small part still melted into the bowl. After eating and playing with the spicy food, Wukong was sweating all over his face and his eyes turned red.

But the culprit was squatting in front of the grimace and laughing, which made the angry Wukong unable to attack.
