The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 179 Just one word, simplicity!
At dawn, Xu Damao went to find his good friend Dr. Meng.

Dr. Meng, the Dr. Meng in Shazhu's mouth, is actually a barefoot doctor who can cure headaches and brain fever.

Intractable diseases are really difficult in the hands of Dr. Meng.

Xu Damao, who has been wronged, came to ask for help, and Dr. Meng was very happy.

Xu Damao did not dare to say that he was caught and frightened into such a situation.

Dr. Meng didn't say that he didn't know how to treat such a disease.

The patient fools the doctor, and the doctor fools the patient.

Doctor Meng prescribed some warming and tonic prescriptions to Xu Damao, which he had just learned.

The effect of the placebo actually made Xu Damao slightly better, although not much, but at least there is hope.

In the Red Star Rolling Mill.

Li Ming spent another whole morning between the procurement department, the transportation department, and the security department.

In the afternoon, Master Cui had a driving task. He didn't have to practice driving, so he skipped work and went back to the small courtyard to cook jelly grass and honey.

The dried grass jelly arrived in the morning, and Li Ming wrote a letter to buy it from the south. At that time, the money was sent along with the purchase letter.

There is no one who collects money but does not deliver goods these days. They not only send him back the extra money, but also attach a copy of the production method.

It can be praised in one word, honesty!
Big action in small courtyard.

Li Ming commanded, Fu's mother operated, Lou Xiao'e lit the fire, and Uncle Fu looked curiously at him. Uncle Fu's task of soaking the rice in water had been completed.

The grass jelly was already boiling in the cauldron, and Li Ming explained the precautions to Fu's mother one by one.

"Then boil it over low heat for 2 hours, and boil the clear water in the pot into a black jelly soup."

"During the cooking process, turn the grass jelly from time to time to let the gelatin in the grass jelly be fully cooked. Do not cover the pot, otherwise the soup will overflow."

"Boil it for a longer time to make more soup, and it will be the same as making tofu. When filtering with gauze, you don't need to squeeze the dregs in the gauze. The dregs are too hot because they are just out of the pot. "

Fu Ma said that it is quite simple, and it needs to be boiled like Guiling jelly, so I wrote it down one by one.

Li Ming and Lou Xiaoe went back to the East Wing. The two chatted one after another. Lou Xiaoe learned from him that Gao Jiancheng was studying carpentry. She suggested buying some books on carpentry for Gao Jiancheng.

The grass jelly in the pot was handled by Blessed Mom, the rice was still soaking, and there was nothing to do at home, so Li Ming took her to visit the Xinhua Bookstore in Beixinqiao.

The two picked a copy of "Manufacturing and Installation of Wooden Structures" at random, and saw that the price on the back was only 1 cents and 9 cents. , "Wood Craft" and so on are all about the same price.

Whether it is the simplification of Chinese characters or the low prices of various basic knowledge books, it is to make it easier for ordinary people to obtain knowledge, which is enough for most people to use in production and life.

The more opportunities for advancement are left for ordinary people, the more dynamic a society will be.

Without knowledge is useless.

Li Ming feels that he can buy more books, and he can also set up a library in the small world to keep them.

The two did some shopping before returning to the small courtyard.

Lou Xiaoe excitedly went to the kitchen to see how the grass jelly was cooking.

Li Ming, who put the book back in the East Wing, also came to the kitchen.

The grass jelly in the pot has boiled out gelatin.

It was still Li Ming who directed and Fu Ma operated, scooping out the jelly soup and filtering it through gauze.

Fu Bo also used a stone mill to grind the soaked rice into rice milk.

Fu Ma cleaned the pot and poured the filtered grass jelly soup back into the pot.

Because the rice milk needs to be slowly poured into the pot to thicken and cook, the pot must be stirred all the time, which also prevents the bottom of the pot from burning.

Lou Xiao'e actively participated and stirred with a spatula, but unfortunately she lost her strength after a while and was very discouraged.

Li Ming took over and continued to stir, comforting: "This step is really tiring."

Fu's mother smiled and said, "Xiao'e, I'm tired of doing this job."

Lou Xiaoe, who added firewood to the stove instead of Uncle Fu, said, "I know you are all comforting me, and I will practice more in the future."

Li Ming explained with a smile: "The hot grass jelly soup with rice milk is thicker, and it has to go deep into the bottom of the pot when stirring, which will really consume more energy."

Li Ming warned: "The fire can't be too hot, it's easy to burn when the fire is too big."

Lou Xiaoe replied weakly: "Got it."

Li Ming introduced: "There are also many people who don't use rice milk, and directly use starches such as sweet potato powder, burnt taro powder, and tapioca flour mixed with cold water to replace rice milk. Among them, burnt taro powder is the best."

"Wait until the rice milk is fully dissolved into the grass jelly soup, just stir it until there are no lumps on the surface of the hot grass jelly soup."

Lou Xiaoe asked, "It won't take long, will it?"

"No, the soup will be ready when it boils again."

"What we make now is called 'grass jelly'. When the weather is cold in winter, dried grass jelly is boiled into a soup, and peanuts, raisins and other ingredients are added to drink while it is hot. They call it 'burning grass jelly'."

Lou Xiao'e admired: "Xiao Ming, you know a lot."

Fu Bo Fu's mother smiled and watched the two work.

It didn't take long, the soup boiled, and Fu Ma helped to scoop the jelly soup into two large enamel basins.

Fu Bo filled the wooden basin with water and put the large enamel washbasin in it.

Li Ming said: "This can speed up the cooling and solidification, and then it will become 'grass jelly'. Cut a piece of 'grass jelly' and add sugar, honey and ingredients to make 'grass jelly'."

Lou Xiaoe asked again: "How long will it take before I can eat it?"

Li Ming thought for a while, and said, "Such a big pot will probably take several hours. Mommy Fu, go get two soup bowls and fill some smaller ones, it will solidify faster."

Lou Xiao'e hurried to the kitchen while talking, "Fu Mom, I'll get it."

So positive, everyone will let her go.

Li Ming has already prepared for honey. He bought a large jar in the countryside last month and hasn't drunk much yet.

He also plans to find a colony of bees in the wild, collect them into the small world, make a few flowers, and raise bees, so that there will be no shortage of honey in the future.

While waiting for the 'grass jelly' to cool and solidify, the four of them peeled the peanuts, removed the fur coat, and fried them as toppings to make it more delicious.

It wasn't too hot in the evening, and after the ingredients were ready, the four of them started eating in the yard.

Feeling that the powder was a bit too much, Li Ming asked, "After a hard afternoon, I finally started to eat. How do you feel?"

Fu Bo just said two simple words, "It's delicious."

Fu's mother commented: "Very slippery."

Lou Xiaoe's comment was more elegant, "It's tender and elastic, sweet and refreshing. After dinner, I'll take some home for my parents to taste."

Li Ming made it clear in advance, "This is for relieving heat and reducing internal heat. It is cold in nature. Older people should not eat too much."

Lou Xiaoe didn't raise her head, "Got it."

After dinner, he didn't linger, so he went directly back to No. 95 courtyard.

Dinner in the small courtyard was relatively early, and when Li Ming returned home, the workers from the rolling mill came back one after another.

He was carrying some dried seafood near the courtyard, and had a chance encounter, and Liu Haizhong stopped his bicycle.

"Xiao Ming, where are you planning to go when you mention so many things?"

Li Ming deliberately looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Second uncle, we are our own people. Let me tell you the truth, this is going to give a gift to my section chief at night, so that we can make further progress."

Liu Haizhong suddenly became interested in the affairs of the officialdom, "Are you going to move up again?"

"Second uncle, let's go to the side and talk."
