The lucky little girl of the Shoufu family

Chapter 54 Multifunctional Tapioca Flour
"Process it?"

Xiao Lian looked a little confused, looking at the basket of cassava, wondering how to process it?

"Look, isn't it inconvenient for us to go out with such a basketful of cassava to exchange things?"

"Well, but if it needs to be processed... I don't know how to process it? Isn't it more difficult to take it after cooking?"

"I didn't say it was simply cooked?" He Xuanji walked over to pick up a piece of cassava, and weighed it in his hand. "I mean, press them into tapioca flour, and then make pancakes with water."

"Cassava cake?"

Xiao Lian thought about it carefully and felt that this method was good.

Many people like to take dry biscuits with them when they travel far. This stuff is easy to carry, and it is easy to calculate one by one. It is best to trade.

"Xianggu, how do you make cassava into cassava flour?"

"Actually, I haven't tried it, but I know roughly how to do it. Wash it first, then put it into a stone mill to grind it into a fine powder, rinse it in water, then take it out and put it in the sun to dry."

This method was learned by He Xuanji from visiting a cassava workshop before.

Cassava is rich in starch. When it is ground from a stone mill and washed and filtered in water, the starch will settle. This process is actually very important. Whether it is rinsed clean or not determines whether the cassava flour is fine enough.

This is a delicate job that requires a delicate mind to do it.

When He Xuanji explained the method, Xiao Lian blinked her eyes and thoughtfully, "But Xiangu, according to your method, it will take at least three or five days to process this cassava flour. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to town tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"It's not in a hurry!"

He Xuanji put down the cassava and clapped her little hands, "Cassava flour can be used as flour to make steamed buns, thicken soup, and make cold noodle. One powder can be used for multiple purposes.

I wanted them to make it before, but at that time there was too little cassava, and I didn’t think about it because I had to go from house to house to feed my hunger, but it’s different now. "

She glanced at Xiao Lian, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Now your man is taking the strong men from the village out to hunt, and with Xiaohu sitting in the town, those ferocious beasts dare not come over, this deep mountain has become our back garden.

Baili Village will not come to compete with us for that piece of cassava forest. When they go hunting, they can dig some cassava back by the way.

You see, there is water, food, and meat. Our pursuit can't be just these, right?
So I fumbled for cassava flour, and then made it into various snack foods, which I took out to be sold or exchanged for other items. "

Xiao Lian was already dizzy by He Xuanji's words.

Not really dizzy, but dizzy with excitement.

As women, they all love beauty in their bones. They didn't pursue it before because they didn't have the conditions and didn't dare to think about it.

Who would think about such endless things after eating the last meal all day long?

But now it's different.

She saw cassava growing well in the fields along the way, and she heard from the fairy that it would be harvested in about four months, and the cassava forest deep in the mountains was enough for them to eat for more than half a year.

With the food and water problems solved, there is hope for this day, and women's families naturally think of buying new clothes for themselves and their children.

The clothes my family wore were sewn, mended, and mended. They were dilapidated. The children's clothes were more than three inches short, and they couldn't fit anymore. It was time to change them.

Now hearing what she said, eyes immediately brightened: "Xiangu's plan is too subtle, Xiaolian listens to Xiangu, you can do whatever you want Xiaolian to do!"

He Xuanji nodded in satisfaction, "Hey, first let your man take the villagers to the cassava forest to dig ten baskets of cassava, and then clean it, and then we will start to do it!"

"it is good!"

Xiaolian quickly brought He Xuanji's words to the villagers.

Previously, He Xuanji dared to take risks alone because of their husband and wife. Everyone could see that the couple enjoyed a lot with Xiangu and was very polite to them. As soon as Xiao Lian finished speaking, someone responded immediately.

More than [-] strong men went up the mountain with Tian Da, a small number of them hunted, and the rest went to dig cassava. By the time they finished their work and went down the mountain, it was already sunset.

He Xuanji handed over this matter to Xiao Lian, and Xiao Lian did not disappoint her. She asked the villagers to clean the cassava overnight after they had dinner.

On the second day, the cassava was all dried, and then it was ground in a mill, and the cassava starch mixed with the cassava juice flowed down together. They were collected and put into wooden barrels for washing and filtering.

There were also people in the village who made sweet potato powder in good times before. With the guidance of these experienced seniors, fine and smooth tapioca starch was made immediately.

Find a place with good sun, put a straw mat under it, spread the tapioca starch on the mat, let it dry slowly, and turn it over occasionally to make it even on both sides.

He Xuanji just came out to relax after meditating, and nodded with satisfaction when she saw tapioca starch on both sides of the field ridge covered with straw mats to dry.

"Xiangu is really ingenious. She actually thought of turning this cassava into potato flour. Wouldn't it be similar to wheat flour? It can be used to make pancakes and steamed buns, and it can also be mixed into meat. Oh, it tastes good!"

Wang Tiezhu complimented with a dog-legged face, his attitude was more respectful than before, because he felt that this fairy seemed to understand everything, which made him a little flustered.

"The sun is not very strong, let's spend a few more days in the sun."

He Xuanji went over and picked up some tapioca flour and rubbed it, feeling the sticky texture, her brows were furrowed.

She just watched others do it before, and she felt that it was very simple. Now after trying it herself, she found that it was somewhat different from what she expected.

"Xiangnu is right, I will ask people to double-check it later!"

Wang Tiezhu continued to please.

"Okay then, get busy!"

He Xuanji went back after inspecting.

The Ning family's house is still so dilapidated, but she has gotten used to living in it, and she found that the house is in a good location, in the middle of the Nine Palaces, and the terrain is high, which can naturally attract the aura of the surrounding world.

It's good for her growing up.

In the yard, Ning Yi was chopping firewood as usual, and Xiaohu was lying on the side far away lazily basking in the sun.

The big guys sleep during the day and go out to hunt at night.

"Yaoer, I'm going to cook now!"

Ning Yi was afraid that He Xuanji would be hungry, so he went to the woodshed immediately when he saw her come back.

He Xuanji looked at the thin back of the young man, and wanted to say something to him, but she shook her head after thinking about it. Although the current life was a bit difficult for him, it was very stable.

"Xiaoyi, are you at home?"

Uncle Ning Qing's voice came from outside the fence. He cautiously looked into the yard, and when he saw Xiaohu dozing off on his right hand, he shivered with fright.

Xiaohu was startled awake by his shout, turned his head and roared at him with a "owwow".

"Mom~ Xiaoyi?"

Being stared at by Xiaohu deathly, Ning Qing didn't dare to take a step closer, so she could only shout at someone by pinching her throat.

　happy new year~
