Nongmen Jiao Nv: Escape from the famine with space

Chapter 30. Processing lotus root starch
If you want to say how delicious this lotus root is, Wen Xin thinks that's it.

But if you compare it with the lotus root they ate last year, it is more than a little better. In Wen Jin's words, these two are also lotus root, but they taste completely different from the same dish.

Wen Hou sighed, "Why did the lotus root taste so unpalatable last year, but it tastes so much better this year."

Warmly said: "The season is wrong, everything is in season, this lotus root should be in season, so it is crispy, tender and refreshing, last year's lotus root had a strange smell, I guess that lotus root is bad, but we I just don't know."

There are some truths in saying this, but the lotus root is already delicious just like this. Wouldn’t it be better to make the lotus root powder in Wenxin?Wen Shan was looking forward to the taste of this lotus root noodles, so he asked: "Sister, when will this lotus root noodles be eaten, Shan'er thinks it must be delicious."

"This will take several days. The lotus root washed today needs to be precipitated. After one night, the precipitated things will be dried and then made into powder before eating. This will take several days."

Wen Jin asked strangely: "Xin'er, how do you know this?"

Wen Xin choked, this question was good, but she didn't need to say anything, Wen Yu explained for her: "Xin'er was also beside me when he said it, you heard it, right Xin'er."

"Yes, Xiner heard it."

Adhering to the principle of saying too much and making mistakes, Wen Xin immediately stopped talking, Wen Xin didn't speak, and other people in the family were busy eating and naturally stopped talking.

The atmosphere of the family eating was harmonious, but the warmth of Grandpa Wen's chopsticks, which was reluctant to pick up vegetables, was a bit unbearable. She used her own chopsticks to pick up a piece of lotus root and put it in Grandpa Wen's bowl. Grandpa Wen was stunned for a moment, squinting She smiled and said to Wen Xin: "Xin'er eats by herself, grandpa will eat."

"Grandpa, eat more. These lotus root are all for nothing. Tomorrow, Xiner will bring her brothers to dig some more. Xiner will also keep it for the elder sister. I will send it to the elder sister after eating."

Grandpa Wen nodded slowly, "Xin'er is so good."

That's what she said, but she wouldn't really ask her to deliver the food after dinner. It was Wen Yu who delivered the food before, and it's still the same today.

If Wen Yu's bowl had just been handed in two days ago, Wen Wan would have smashed it in an instant, but today I didn't hear Wen Wan's movement. Instead, after Wen Wan quickly solved it, I asked them for another bowl. Bowl of rice.

Of course, there is no habit of adding more food in the countryside. There is a fixed amount of rice cooked for each meal every day.

Xu was full and energetic, and didn't want rice, Wen Wan started cursing again, of course, no one paid her any attention.

After washing, Wen Xin went back to the room, spread the cloth on the floor as Wen Yu told her, and then poured the starched rice on the cloth and spread it flat, maybe it had been placed in the space for a while, some extra The water in the rice has already been drained in the space, and now the rice is half-dried after falling on the ground, and it should be completely dry after one night in the shade.

After paving the rice, Wenxin went to sleep peacefully.

The next day.

Waking up early in the morning, Wenxin first looked at yesterday's rice. Sure enough, it was all dry as she thought. After putting the rice into the space, she went to check the lotus root noodles made yesterday.

The water tanks and tubs that were used to hold the precipitated powder yesterday are now extremely clear. You just need to pour out the water and get out the sediment below.

Just as she was thinking about it, the Wen Shan ran out of the room and came to her side, and asked expectantly, "Sister, is the lotus root powder ready?"

"Almost, I guess I can eat it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Wen Xin wobbled the smallest pot out of the kitchen, and Wen Hou took it over halfway, "Xin'er, come on, big brother, how can you move such a big pot."

Wenxin didn't force it, she really struggled to carry this basin, so she let go of it when Wenhou took it, "Thank you, brother, just pour out the water on it."

Wen Hou brought the water basin to the ditch next to the room, and poured the water out slowly, until the water was poured down to the white sediment, Wen Hou quickly stopped, "It's almost big brother, keep this one."

The two of them went back to the room together, and Wen Xin took a small scraper to scoop out the white sediment bit by bit. At this time, Wen Yu and Wen Jin had already woken up, watching Wen Hou's movements imitate In this way, until the largest water tank was filled with water, when Wenxin went to scoop up the sediment in it, she almost didn't put her whole body in it directly.

Wen Yu looked at it and smiled, "Okay, Xin'er, let the second brother come here, if you climb in, you should go in by yourself."

Wen Xin glanced at her little arms and legs with a look of disgust, but she had no choice but to hand the scraper to Wen Yu.

After Wen Yu scooped out the contents of the water tank, he found that the lotus root powder of the 16-section lotus root could scoop out half a basin of white sediment.

Wenxin instructed her brothers to wrap the sediment with cloth and hang it directly on the eaves of their house. Finally, she said with a relieved face: "It will be fine when it is dry. Let's see, it can be done tomorrow."

Although it is autumn now, it is still very hot, otherwise there would be no such thing as an autumn tiger.

The fields at home have been tidying up for several days in a row, and there is not so much work in the fields after the autumn harvest. Wenxin suggested that everyone go up the mountain to dig lotus roots. Today, after breakfast, the group went straight up the mountain.

There are quite a few Wen family members, and such a large group of people quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. Zhang Dahu, the son of Aunt Zhang's family closest to her home, ran over and asked a few: " Hey, where are you going, Wen Jin, go out and play, don't go to the fields today."

Zhang Dahu is the eldest son of the Zhang family, about the same age as Wen Jin, both of them are naughty and aggressive, and they can play together on weekdays, but Wen Jin has something to do today, how can he go out with Zhang Dahu, "I I have to help my sister with work today, and I don’t have time to play, so go by yourself.”

Looking at Wen Jin's proud face, Zhang Dahu felt that Wen Jin was mentally ill, and whoever worked for him was not all work, and there was nothing to be proud of in work.

Zhang Dahu persuaded: "Don't, go out and play, we haven't gone out to play for a long time, we haven't done enough work a few days ago."

Wen Jin frowned, "That's different, the previous work was at home, today's work is my sister's work, that's fine, I won't tell you, I still have to help my sister with work, if you want to play, hurry up , don’t waste time here, I won’t go today.”
