Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 189 Candied Tomatoes

Shen Jiayan didn't know that the Zhu family next door had such an incident because of the smell of her boiled syrup.

Because of the hot weather, the syrup was not yet semi-crystallized when it was dark, so I simply went to sleep.

The next morning, when he went to the West Wing Room, he found that the syrup in the barrel had finally been semi-crystallized. After seeing the dark black particles, Shen Jiayan put the funnel-shaped tiles that had been ordered long ago on the tub. There is a small hole in the slide, which has long been plugged with straw.

Pour the dark granule syrup in the bucket into the tile, wait for the black sand-like syrup to crystallize, and then remove the straw plugged in the small hole below.

Then pour it down with the prepared yellow mud water and let it stand overnight.

That night, Shen Jiayan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, her heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I was woken up by the crowing of the rooster outside, the sky was already turning pale.

Regardless of washing up, he wrapped up his coat indiscriminately, and went straight to the west wing.

The nervous heart completely fell back to reality after seeing a layer of white as jade icing on the bottom of the tile.

Look at the bottom of the tank below, there is a layer of black dregs, it is the yellow muddy water that has taken away all the dregs in the syrup.

Carefully use a clean spatula to scoop out the layer of white icing sugar and place it on a dustpan covered with kraft paper.

The white frosting is about five inches thick, and the bottom layer is brown sugar. After the yellow sugar is scooped off, the bottom layer is reddish brown sugar. This is the lowest grade of black sugar. Look at the color and appearance. It was better than the brown sugar she bought in the county.

Weighed the three kinds of granulated sugar with a small scale, recorded them in the book, and knew it in my heart.

One hundred catties of beetroot can be refined into six catties of white sugar, ten catties of brown sugar, and the rest is brown sugar, which is also ten catties.

According to the ratio, [-] catties of beets yields [-] catty of sugar, and [-] catties of beets yields [-] catty of white sugar. Her ancient method still consumes a bit more, but she is already very satisfied, after all, the local method of refining.

After experimenting this time, Shen Jiayan finally got the idea, wrapped the refined sugar in kraft paper, put it in a separate wooden barrel, covered it, and moved it to the innermost room for storage.

Then put the filtered black dregs together with the beetroot dregs that were fished out yesterday, and let Mu Tianze and Da Zhuang bury them in the back yard together.

He and Mu Yue continued to wash the beetroot hard, and even Mu Tianrun was called to help.

The five people washed half of the beetroots until their waists were sore, their backs hurt and their legs were cramping. Besides washing these beetroots, they had to be carefully inspected. Just dig it out with a knife.

But none of the children complained, even the youngest, Mu Tianrun, although his speed was slow, carefully took a small handful of straw and scrubbed it carefully.

Not to mention the other older children, Da Zhuang worked the most neatly, followed by Mu Yue. Because of his arm, Mu Tianze was a little slower, but he worked very hard.

Shen Jiayan wasn't that cruel either. Seeing how diligent the children were, she couldn't help but said, "When the past few days are over, I'll make white rice cakes for you!"

As soon as they heard that there were white rice cakes, the children looked at each other, becoming more and more motivated, and the movements in their hands quickened.

After washing that half of the beets, it was almost dark.

Mu Yue is a girl, her physical strength is not as good as others, and she refuses to fall behind, she has been gritting her teeth and persevering. After washing, she can hardly stand up, and the bones in her waist will rattle when she moves.

Seeing that she was still struggling to cook, she was driven aside by Shen Jiayan to rest.

Although she runs a family soil workshop, except for her, everyone is a child. In modern times, this would be regarded as illegal employment of child labor, but in this time and space, it is considered to be helping the family.

But she is not the one who exploits child labor. Except for the promised white rice cakes, the children are exhausted. She is the only adult, so naturally she has to hold on.

After a tiring day, I have to cook something delicious for the kids.

The vermicelli I bought in the county last time was soaked in hot water to make it soft, and I made an egg vermicelli stew with wild mushrooms. The vermicelli was transparent and the mushrooms were fragrant. Five golden fried poached eggs were placed on top of the vermicelli. The soup was rich and delicious. , sprinkled with a little chopped chives, it is really a fairy who will be tempted to smell it.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the tomatoes in the vegetable garden are already red. I picked a few big and red ones, washed them, cut them into petals, put them on a plate, and scooped out half of them from the west wing. The jar of white granulated sugar, like soft sand, was finely sprinkled on the chopped tomatoes.

Red tomatoes, white sugar, just looking at it makes people's index fingers move.

I boiled a few more salted duck eggs. The salted duck eggs were already red with oil and sand.

Then I cooked a pot of Erhe rice, the rice made from the new millet that just came down the other day, it is fragrant and soft, the rice soup is served separately, put it aside, after the meal, drink a bowl of warm rice soup, no matter how comfortable it is But that's all.

The children were first attracted by the tomatoes mixed with sugar. One of them picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. The tomatoes were slightly sour and dipped in soft and delicate white sugar. The originally languid appetite suddenly opened up.

This dish is a summer cold salad that Shen Jiayan used to eat when she was a child. Every time she ate it at the end, the tomato juice and the water dissolved in sugar were mixed together, and she would rush to drink it. It was sour and sweet. one.

There is hardly any kid who doesn't love this.

Sure enough, after the four children ate the tomatoes mixed with sugar, they all set their sights on the last bit of soup with white sugar, but they were so strong that they didn't dare to speak.

Mu Tianrun poured the soup into his mouth with a small patter, and he was still not satisfied, so he stuck out his small tongue to lick it.

Fortunately, this is just an appetizer cold dish, which whetted everyone's appetite. The remaining dish of vermicelli and egg pot with mixed bacteria received unanimous praise. The vermicelli absorbed the deliciousness of eggs and bacteria, and it was crystal clear. In the mouth, with a thick soup, it is springy and delicious.

One mouthful of food can be eaten with two or three mouthfuls of rice. At the end of the meal, after the vermicelli and bacteria were scooped up, everyone simply scooped up soup to eat with rice. Five people actually ate up a pot of stewed rice.

They all rubbed their round bellies and sat on the stools without wanting to get up.

Mu Tianrun ate and drank enough, after all, he was too young, so he couldn't help but dozed off.

Mu Yue carried him to the back room to sleep, Da Zhuang cleaned up the dishes and washed them, leaving Mu Tianze and Shen Jiayan sitting opposite each other.

Seeing Mu Tianze hesitant to speak, Shen Jiayan just thought it was funny: "If you have anything to say, just say it?"

Only then did Mu Tianze ask in a low voice: "Mother, the white, soft as sand on the tomatoes, is it the sugar you refined?"

He was amazed at the first bite. Before he was kicked out of Mu's house, he had tasted the best brown sugar on the market. Although it was sweet, it was not as sweet as it was, and the white sugar was white in color. Ruyu, with higher sweetness, not greasy or greasy, has never been seen or heard of.

After experiencing the mountain fungus incident, Mu Tianze was very sensitive to these things, and immediately thought that if this white cotton candy was sold, it would be a lot of money.

For a moment, Mu Tianze's excitement almost stopped!
