Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 678 Homework
Put the bookmarks away, Zhouzhi is ready to make ice powder.

The fresh Xue Li fruit is green, and its shape is somewhat like a lotus mist. When cut open, it looks like a fig, and the pulp is wrapped in a bag of small seeds.

Dig out the small seeds with a spoon, it is ice powder.

Put the ice powder into a clean cloth bag, rub it in cold boiled water, and soon some sticky transparent substances will appear on the surface of the cloth bag.

Squeeze these transparent substances into the water to distribute them evenly, and finally add clarified quicklime water, mix well and rest, and it will become a jelly-like ice powder in a short time.

The rest is to boil brown sugar and brown sugar into syrup for later use.

"Shu Yi, you also know where there is ice powder fruit in Rongshan." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It's also quite powerful?"

"Didn't I tell you that a good friend of mine went to Shenzhen City after graduating from junior high school?" Jiang Shuyi smiled and said, "She took me there."

"Are you still in touch?"

"It's not easy to contact, she keeps changing addresses." Jiang Shuyi shook her head.

"You still only communicate by writing letters? She doesn't even call you?" Zhou Zhi felt a little speechless about such a "classic" way of contacting.

This time Jiang Shuyi didn't speak, but shook her head.

"Cousin An Xin is going to develop in Shenzhen, so I can ask her to ask."

"You don't need it, your cousin will be very busy then." Jiang Shuyi said: "I'm writing letters with my friends just to chat, and it's not something important."

"Alright then." Zhou Zhi said, "I'll take you to find another kind of ice powder seeds another day, the kind that won't dirty your hands."

"There is also a kind of ice powder seed?"

"Yes, in fact, you must have seen it before. It's called lantern flower. The fruit looks like a paper lantern with four sides."

Jiang Shuyi thought for a while, but couldn't recall: "The wild sweet potato that Yang He took us to dig last summer was delicious."

"Why don't you go with me tomorrow? We'll come back after playing for a day?" Zhou Zhi immediately hit the snake with the stick.

Jiang Shuyi is very self-disciplined, she doesn't act like Zhou Zhi: "That won't work, you have to go and come back early, you told Aunt Su that you will study hard."

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to give up, put the boiled brown sugar water in a basin, and then put it in the cold sink to calm down: "I'll go to Crossroads to buy some stewed pork, and I can eat it at night."

"I'll go upstairs to visit grandma." Jiang Shuyi also cleaned the house almost.

The intersection has also undergone major changes this year, because there are more mobile garbage trucks in the county, and the huge garbage dump at the intersection has finally disappeared.

There was a public toilet there before, but now there is a sewage treatment plant, and all the public toilets along the street are connected to the sewage treatment plant through pipelines.

This public measure has become a virtuous policy in the county. In the past, when it rained heavily, the tragic situation of feces and urine overflowing into the old houses on both sides of Laohe Street for irrigation has been completely cured.

Therefore, the intersection is now clean and tidy, and in the eyes of the residents next to the Laohe Street public toilet, Secretary Hua can be called a reborn parent.

There used to be a row of stewed meat stalls at the crossroads, but it was strange, obviously not far away was a garbage pile of public toilets, and the taste of these stewed meat stalls was particularly good.

Little Sixth Sister went to Manzhou, and she always thought about this when she was pregnant.

The stewed meat in Jiachuan is called "Shao La". Except for beef, chicken wings, duck feet, and chicken gizzards, pork head meat, elbows, and hooves need to be mixed with seasoning again, which is particularly fragrant.

This word is also used in Cantonese, including brine dishes and preserved meat dishes. The barbecue shop in Jiachuan also sells bacon sausages and salted ducks in autumn. They are all in the same number. , but also the preservation of ancient Chinese.

Last year, behind these stalls was Brother Dayong's video game area, so Zhou Zhi and the bosses here were also very familiar.

Cut half of the stewed duck, don't take the neck half, you have to take the duck head and duck butt, this is the rule.

I also cut a piece of pig ear and a piece of walnut meat, and asked the boss to mix it according to the method of roasting meat.

Thinking that today was the first meal at home, and it would be impossible to eat alone downstairs, Zhou Zhi mixed another vegetarian dish.

I ordered two more pieces of dried tofu, half of which I asked the boss to cut thinner, so that grandma could eat it.

On the way back, I bought a few pieces of the now popular "sanjiaoba".

Triangular cakes are actually similar to fat cakes and oil parfaits, but they are not steamed, but are baked with oil in a mold. It has a more oily and burnt aroma than fat cakes. This grandma also likes to eat it.

Carrying two bags of things and walking slowly on the shady side of the street, Zhou Zhi suddenly realized that even if he had retraveled, it had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of walking in an ancient small town.

As if you have been very busy?

"Brother Elbow!" A three-wheeler passed by beside him, and a girl on it turned her head and waved to Zhou Zhi: "Master, stop, we'll get off here!"

But it was Zhang Ziwan and Zhang Xinyi.

"Zi Wan came just in time, come with me to see grandpa."

The grandfather Zhou Zhi was talking about was the grandfather of Zhang Ziwan and Zhang Xinyi, Imperial Physician Zhao. His apprentice's clinic was between the intersection and the tax office.

There is a canvas shed outside the medical hall, and the sun can’t shine. Some people who sell small things squat on the stone steps in front of the medical hall. In front of them are baskets or poles. Sunflower fans and other handcrafts, as well as unsold vegetables.

"Elbow is back?" There were few patients in the afternoon, and Imperial Physician Zhao was flipping through an old vertical medical book. When he saw Zhou Zhi and his two granddaughters coming, he put down the book and said with a smile: "I heard that you went to the capital, and you played all the time." Those places?"

"I just went to the Forbidden City and the museum, but I didn't make it to the Summer Palace." Zhou Zhi took out two pieces of triangular cakes and handed them to Imperial Physician Zhao, and then said, "The old man is really a fairy, I don't understand why your old man doesn't flirt in summer Sweaty? It’s not as embarrassing as ours, where it gets too hot when you move a little bit, and you can’t do without fans and air conditioners.”

"Electric fans and air conditioners are not good, this is the best." Doctor Zhao ordered some herbal tea brewed on the table, and added: "The mind is calm and cool naturally."

"Brother Zhou Zhi invited us to eat ice powder." Zhang Ziwan said, "My sister went to pick it this morning."

Imperial Physician Zhao said with a smile: "Go, don't eat too much, right elbow... Here is a chrysanthemum for your grandma, she wants to steam pork liver to smoke her eyes."

"Actually, is internal use more effective?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"It's not the time for internal use." Imperial Physician Zhao said, "After the beginning of autumn, come and get some rehmannia glutinosa, wolfberry, and chrysanthemum. I'll teach you how to make pork liver porridge for your grandma."

"Okay, old man, let's go. Xin Yi and Zi Wan are playing at our house today, and I will take them home after dinner."

Zhang Xinyi patted his schoolbag: "Grandpa, I need to ask Zhou Zhi for some homework."

"Go." Imperial Physician Zhao looked at Zhou Zhi who had become stunned. This baby never thought that his granddaughter would give him homework on the first day home. He couldn't help but find it funny: "You even brought me rice cakes specially, thank you gone."
