Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 53 Try making jelly
After dinner, Erniu drove the donkey cart to take his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home.

Mrs. Zhang was squatting in the yard, washing Yaya's clothes. She accidentally grabbed a handful, and suddenly a large piece was torn off.

Mrs. Zhang turned pale with fright, and quickly stood up, but was noticed by Liang Shuyan who was standing aside. She came over and looked at the fabric: "This is too flimsy. How long have you been wearing it?"

"Mom, these are the clothes Dashan wore when he was a child. My daughter-in-law saw that it was a pity to lose them, so she changed them with her children."

"Last time, where are the clothes your grandma made for the children? Why don't you take them out and give them to Yaya to wear?"

Mrs. Zhang's hands trembled twice: "Mom, the last time my grandma made it was a bit too big. My daughter-in-law thinks it's a pity to wear it now. She can wear it when she grows older!"

Liang Shuyan nodded: "Okay, this fabric is no longer good. Throw it away as soon as possible. The days when our Jin family children wear old clothes are over, and so are you. You should buy what you should buy and spend what you should spend. Don't be so harsh. ”

"By the way, I let you dry those long-tusked potatoes you took out from the cellar last time. How did you do?" Liang Shuyan seemed to have remembered something again.
Mrs. Zhang said oh, poured out the water in the basin, turned around and climbed up to the roof.

In a dustpan on the roof, there were some potato slices drying in the sun. They were all white. She squeezed them with her hands and all of them were broken into pieces. It was obvious that they were completely dried in the sun.

"Mom, what have you done? What are you going to do?" Mrs. Zhang looked at her mother-in-law's planning look. She must have been researching new foods.

"Go to the backyard and see if those spinach plants are still there. If they are, pull them all out. Mom will be useful!"

Mrs. Zhang responded and went out carrying a bamboo basket.

In the yard, Sanwang brought the mixed dog food over and handed it to Dahei. Dahei wagged his tail. Sanwang seemed to be enjoying it, gently stroking its smooth hair with both hands.

To say that this Dahei also has merit, at least he can look after the house and the courtyard very well at night. In Daling Village, there are countless houses that have been visited by thieves. Although there is no food in the house now, who is home? I don’t want to be patronized by thieves either.

The kitten hid in the house with food and refused to come out, waiting intently to catch mice. The kitten was really useful. Since the kitten was caught, there have been very few mice in the house.

The old lady was carrying a bamboo cage, glanced at the sky, and muttered: "It's foggy now. Is it going to be windy again? I have to fill up the bamboo cage quickly to save the time." My legs are so cold that I have nowhere to put them!”

Li Lanfang has had cold legs for many years. When the weather changes, her legs are better than the weather forecast. She doesn't want her daughter to worry about her. When she sees that the weather is not right, she hurries to fill the kang.

In northern rural areas, dried cow dung or donkey dung is used to fill the kang. Even when the weather is cold, the house is warm.

Niu Niu took a pen and wrote her name on the paper in a crooked way, and then ran towards San Wang: "Brother San, look, is the word Niu Niu written like this? "

Sanwang glanced at the two words on the paper and laughed loudly: "Haha, what you wrote is "ugly girl, ugly girl", where is "niu niu"?

After being stimulated, Niuniu suddenly cried sadly: "Mom, my third brother bullied me because I can't write, mother!"

Liang Shuyan heard Niuniu's cry and ran out of the house quickly.

"What's going on? Sanwang, how can you bully your sister?"

Sanwang's face flushed red, and he handed the piece of paper to Liang Shuyan: "Mom, I'm not joking. Look, the name written by Niuniu has become female ugly female ugly!"

Liang Shuyan took a look and saw that it was indeed the case. She suppressed her laughter and waved to Niu Niu: "Come here, come to mother!" Niu Niu glanced at her mother with her eyes, then walked over and rubbed her red eyes. : "Mom, is something wrong?"

"Look, Niuniu, these two words, girl and ugliness should be close together, just like you and mother, they cannot be separated. Do you understand? If you separate, you will become what your third brother said: girl is ugly and girl is ugly. Do you understand? ?”

Niuniu nodded, took the piece of paper, and walked away with her short legs.

"Sanwang, come here!"

Sanwang looked at his mother with confusion on his face: "Mom, what's wrong? Is what Sanwang said wrong?"

Liang Shuyan said very patiently: "Look, it's not what you said is wrong, but you can't laugh at Niu Niu like this. Niu Niu just learned to write. You have to encourage her more and can't laugh at her. Do you understand?"

"Well, mother, Sanwang knows."

Liang Shuyan turned around and returned to the kitchen. In the kitchen, the eldest daughter-in-law had already added water to the pot, prepared the vinegar and water according to her mother-in-law's instructions, and set it aside.

"Mom, my daughter-in-law has prepared vinegar and water according to your instructions."

Liang Shuyan glanced at the spinach on the ground and said, "Now wash the spinach, blanch it in a pot, and then take it out and let it cool."

Next, Liang Shuyan found another gong (used to filter dirty things) and filtered the crushed potato flour into dregs. She poured the dregs aside and fed them to the little donkey, which was good feed.

After filtering the potato powder, she squeezed it hard with a rolling pin and kept rolling it until no white granules could be seen. Then she filtered it again. This was the third time. This time the potato powder suddenly became It is much thinner and whiter.

She prepared a porcelain basin, poured the filtered potato flour into it, and grabbed a little salt to increase the gluten and clean the starch impurities to ensure that the jelly was flawless.

This time, she plans to make two colors, one is green made with spinach juice, and the other is starch-colored, transparent and bright. If the color is good and strong, she will prepare it in batches. When the time comes, I will choose to buy high-quality starch from the system. As for the seasoning water, I will also prepare it according to the standards of the system.

"Hey boss, squeeze this spinach juice with your hands and squeeze out the spinach juice inside. Hurry up."

Liang Shuyan took the chopsticks, scooped out some starch, put it on the other side, poured in the spinach juice that Zhang squeezed, stirred constantly, and then added some water. When the stirring was almost complete, there were no particles. , then stopped.

"Mom, what are you doing? How do you eat this?"

After Liang Shuyan diluted another portion of starch and mixed it evenly, she washed her hands and tidied the tools on the chopping board, clapped her hands and said: "It's just a cold snack, it's pretty good. Try it when it's ready. Okay, now Start boiling water, I’m going to do it!”

Since the arrival of Dahei in the big yard of the Jin family, few people have come here. Sanwang also habitually closes the door, for fear that the kitten will be caught by others if it escapes.

In the kitchen, smoke filled the air. Liang Shuyan took a rolling pin, rinsed it with cold water, and started to stir. The starch with spinach juice added to the pot became even more beautiful in color. She stirred vigorously, and it was only heated evenly and the amount of water was appropriate. , only the stirred jelly will have a good taste. If there is too much water, the jelly will be too soft, and it will not work. If there is too little water, the jelly will be too hard, and it will still not work. Secondly, the heat must be controlled appropriately. This process is to make The key to jelly success.

The flames of the stove fire were beating. Mrs. Zhang couldn't wait to stand up and took a look at the jelly in the pot. She said happily: "Mom, it's so beautiful. Are you going to succeed?"
