A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 500 Making Konjac Tofu

While chatting, the two walked into the wooden house in front of the cave.

Gently push open a secret door, revealing a passage leading directly to the cave behind.

The passage was about three meters wide, and the ground was compacted with some fine gravel.Both sides are surrounded by wooden fences. If you don't know where the passage is, you can't tell that there is a secret passage hidden behind it from the outside.

Looking at the road, Jiang Qing admired the Snow Rabbit Clan from the bottom of her heart.

This craftsmanship is beyond words!

"The skills of the Snow Rabbit Clan are really good!" Jiang Qing touched the fence. Although it was an ordinary fence, its craftsmanship and workmanship were much better than those of Da Di and Wen Luo. Just looking at it, it was very beautiful.It is obviously made of wood, but it looks completely different.

Qing praised: "The house and the fence look bright, and there is an indescribable smell." Qing nodded, and the same material was made by them, it felt like a layer of tinfoil.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, the two walked into the cave.

The inside has been trimmed. Compared with the original natural form, the cave is now much neater.

The location of the deep hot spring is paved with bluestone, which looks very elegant.The few empty caves outside are all piled up with various things, neat and tidy, without any confusion.The underground passage from the cave to the dungeon has been dug through, but the passage to the cellar behind Jiang Qing's house has not yet been dug through, and it will take a few days before it can be dug through.

On the outermost side of the cave, a lot of hay was piled up.The hay was harvested by Qing and dried in the cave. Considering the weather in Taoyuan after winter, Qing hoarded the hay for bedding.Basically, where things are stored in the cave, there is a lot of hay.

The two were at the outermost place, holding two handfuls of hay.

After taking the hay out of the cave, the two began to walk back.

Entering the courtyard, Jiang Qing scattered the hay, and Qing took a small handful of hay to the kitchen to light it.

At this moment, Lang Mo was lying on the bamboo chair in the corridor with Baozi and Xiaozi in his arms, eyes half closed, and saw Jiang Qing and Qing come back.He opened his eyes and glanced, then closed his eyes to meditate again, sleeping lazily on his stomach with buns on his body, Maizi leaning on the arm of the bamboo chair, jumping up and down, grinning and showing pink teeth, waving at Jiang Qing constantly , I couldn't be happier.

Lang Rui sat by the side and watched, worried that Xiaoxiaozi would accidentally fall to the ground and knock his head.

After building a fire and adding water, he carried Angela out of the pool and put her beside her to bask in the sun.Below the grotto, the three of Piegle were very busy.While lighting the fire, Kong wrote and drew on the ground with branches, reviewing what Jiang Qing had taught.

Thinking about it, Leiding Langbo will return to Taoyuan tomorrow, and he will feel full of energy.

"Mom, look at the fire. All the hay needs to be burned. I'll get a bamboo sieve to put the ash in." Jiang Qing got up, patted the ashes on her body and walked towards the utility room.

Qing picked it up with a branch, trying to burn all the dry grass.

Jiang Qing took out the bamboo sieve from the utility room, and swept all the ash into the bamboo sieve after the dry grass was burned out.Pick out the unburned hay stalks inside, and put the bamboo sieve next to the small pond.

After a while, Ya led many people back from the outside.

A group of more than ten people were carrying rattan baskets or carrying rattan baskets, all of which were filled with konjac.Jiang Qing took a closer look, and found that the smallest one weighed about ten kilograms, and the largest one weighed more than 30 kilograms. It seems that the soil where konjac grows is very fertile.

Konjac grows very picky, and the soil is not fertile and does not grow.

"Did you dig out all the konjac in the field?" Jiang Qing's head was full of black lines, and she stared at the densely packed vine baskets and baskets in the courtyard, suddenly feeling big. This konjac is delicious, but it can be eaten a lot It will be troublesome.If you don't handle it well, your mouth will feel numb when you eat it.

She originally thought that Gabriel would dig out ten or eight konjacs with Yaya, and then grind and eat them, but she didn't want Yaya and the others to toss them all the time when they heard something delicious.There are so many konjacs, even if everyone comes to eat them, they won't be able to finish them...

Seeing Jiang Qing's gloomy face, Ya quietly took two steps back and pushed Gabriel out.

Gabriel blinked, looked at Jiang Qing, and whispered: "No, we dug half of it. Ya told me, you said konjac is delicious..." As he spoke, he couldn't help but blushed and lowered his head, pursing his lips, speaking in a low voice. His voice became softer and quieter, and in the end he didn't even dare to speak.

Seeing Gabriel like this, Jiang Qing had no choice but to swallow the words of reproach in her mouth.

I picked a piece of wood from the wood piled up next to the big elm in the courtyard, and carefully made the wood into the shape of a washboard.While doing it, let Ya and the others follow suit.

Qing Ze led the people and picked ten konjacs to wash in the small pond.

Seeing that Jiang Qing only asked Qing to pick out ten konjacs, Ya and the others were very anxious. They dug up so many konjacs, why did they only take ten?Did Jiang Qing blame them for digging too much?

"Jiang Qing, why only take ten konjacs? We dug up a lot." Ya looked at Jiang Qing seriously with a cold face, as if planning to see something else from Jiang Qing's face.

Jiang Qing raised her head slightly, took a peek at the buds angrily, and said, "It's true that konjac is delicious, but eating too much is bad for your health. These ten konjacs are enough for nearly a hundred people to eat. It's time for you to send it to others..."

"what!"

Hearing this, everyone exclaimed, ten is enough for nearly a hundred people?What's the point?
Not only Ya and the others were stunned, but even Lang Mo who had closed his eyes and rested his mind suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Jiang Qing hotly.This stuff fills up so easily?

"Where are you going? What I mean is that this konjac has been eaten too much, and it has to be eaten with other meat. It is eaten as a vegetable every time you fry it. This thing is delicious." Jiang Qing explained with a smile, When it comes to food, everyone is used to being surprised.

In fact, Jiang Qing went further. In the past, these ten konjacs weighed more than 200 catties, enough for hundreds of people to eat...

"Oh!" Bud nodded.

As he said that, the washboard was made. The rough shape of the handwork was rough, but there was nothing wrong with it.

"What do you use this for?" Cao shook off the sawdust on the washboard, and smoothed out the barbs with a bone knife.Now, every household in Taoyuan has a kitchen knife, but everyone thinks that the kitchen knife is expensive and no one is willing to use it.

They all treasured the kitchen knife, so Jiang Qing took it for granted that she used the kitchen knife, and she didn't feel anything wrong with cutting wood with the kitchen knife.

"The one used to grind konjac can also be used to wash clothes." Jiang Qing tried it a few times, and she didn't grind it anymore when she thought it was okay.Holding the washboard and walking to the small pond, seeing Kong adding firewood in the kitchen, he asked, "Kong, is the water boiled?"

Standing on tiptoe, Kong lifted the lid of the pot, took a look, and said, "It will take a while."

"Yeah!" Jiang Qing nodded, put the washboard next to the small pond, and let the cleaner wash it a few times, she turned around and went to the utility room, took out a few wooden basins, and put the washed washboard in the wooden basin inside.

"After the water boils, rinse the plant ash with boiling water, and then fill the wooden basin with the plant ash water that has been rinsed with boiling water. Grind the konjac with the plant ash water. After grinding, put the raw konjac jelly into the boiling hot water little by little with a spatula. Boil in water for about an hour..." Jiang Qing explained the matter clearly.

Everyone was amazed. They thought the eating method of konjac was the same as that of sweet potato, but they didn't think it was fundamentally different.The more complicated it is, the more they look forward to konjac.
