Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 192 Starch

Now that they returned to the village, Li Xin and the others planned to stay in the village for a few days, so they didn't go back to town even at night.

Instead, Zhu Yong was asked to go back and forth a few times in the upper village, bought a lot of things and came back to decorate the room.Li Xin assigned rooms to Caiyun, Caixia, and Ling Feifei. It didn't take much time. Zhu Yong bought all the things. Everyone worked together, and it didn't take much time to tidy up the room.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Li Xin took Wen Bo and Wen Hao to the village chief's house.Caiyun and Caixia wanted to follow her, but since they had to meet so many villagers today, it was better not to take her with them.The people in the village are relatively simple, even if they live a good life, none of them use maids and servants.

Naturally, everyone in the village knew about the fact that there were servants at home, but they were all very necessary people.Zhu Yong, for example, lacks a coachman at home. This is necessary, and naturally no one will talk nonsense.

However, Caiyun and Caixia are different, so it's better not to carry them around.

Besides, it was just a walk in the village, and there was indeed nothing to serve.It's better to stay at home and help Lian Zhou's work in the kitchen.

Soon, I arrived at the village head's house. When I entered the village head's house, many villagers had already arrived in the yard.Not only people from Guihua Village, but people from surrounding villages also came.It seems that the village head notified yesterday, and word spread quickly.These people really got up early!I came here after I got up and had breakfast. Some of these people live in a few villages away, and they came here unexpectedly!
It seems that everyone really cares about making vermicelli!

"Miss Li and the two young masters are here!" Li Xin brought Wen Bo and Wen Hao into the door, and many people crowded up and greeted with smiles.

"Hi everyone, you don't have to be so polite." Li Xin smiled.As long as she came to say hello, she nodded.Since she gave the sweet potato Fujiko, her popularity has improved all of a sudden. Almost everywhere she goes, someone will greet her.In fact, the people in the family used to be not very popular, but they lived too remote, and they didn't have many contacts with the villagers, so they gradually became unfamiliar.

As for the younger ones, since their parents passed away, they have less contact with people.

Moreover, apart from having relatives in the village, the Li family has no relatives. With no relatives to leave, they are naturally not familiar with the people in the surrounding villages.In the village, although there are relatives, there is not much difference between having and not having them.I was not popular in the past, but I can really understand it.

Now, of course, everything is slowly getting better.It can be regarded as a very gratifying change!The life at home has improved, and the relationship with the people around has gradually improved.Life is always full of hope, and it will naturally be better in the future.

"Sister Xin, Wen Bo, Wen Hao, you are here!" The village chief and his wife hurriedly greeted Li Xin and his brother when they saw Li Xin's arrival.Li Wenxiu, the second daughter of the village chief's family, hurried to bring out some food and was anxious to pour water for everyone.Although the village head is only a member of such a small village, his etiquette is always considerate on weekdays.

Whoever comes to the house is naturally greeted warmly, giving people a good feeling.

Li Xin didn't talk too much, the next step is to let everyone make sweet potato vermicelli.

At first, it was natural to choose sweet potatoes. The village head asked everyone to help move two baskets of sweet potatoes to the yard.To make vermicelli, choose sweet potatoes with a smooth surface, no damage from diseases and insect pests, no green heads, and a moderate size.After the selection, it is the cleaning process. Clean the sweet potatoes carefully, and cut off the two ends and the root hairs on the surface.

After that, the sweet potatoes are cut out. Without machines, it can only be done manually.Simply cut it open, then put it in a stone pound to pound it, and then grind it into a slurry.Naturally, the finer the grinding, the better, which can improve the powder extraction rate.

After that, it is filtered and exposed to starch.The purpose is to realize the separation of skin dregs and starch.Generally, 2-5 feet of hanging slurry cloth is used as the filter bag for filtering, and the filter is twice in total.The slurry is thinner for the first time and thicker for the second time.Then send the filtrate to the sedimentation tank (skin residue can be used as feed).After entering the pool and standing for two days, release the supernatant in the pool.Add 1/3 of the original water volume to stir, and then filter again.This time the filtrate enters the small pond and is left to settle.When the water in the pool has no turbidity, that is, it is completely clarified, drain the supernatant.Discard the oil powder on the surface of the starch precipitation layer, take out the lower layer of starch and hang it into a powder mound (ie, a dough ball), and move it to the drying field for exposure.When half of the water in the powder mound evaporates, the powder mound is cut into several parts and exposed to the sun.The drying yard is located in a leeward and sunny place to prevent dust pollution.

Naturally, sweet potato starch cannot be made in one day.Li Xin just handed over the steps to everyone, and then explained them clearly.In fact, everyone's comprehension ability is very high. After all, all the folks in the countryside, who would not be clear about it!So, after she explained it, everyone almost understood it.

Next, let everyone go home to make sweet potato starch, first make the powder, and then teach everyone how to make vermicelli.

After the explanation is clear, let everyone break up first. If there is something unclear, ask her again.Of course, not all the sweet potato growers came, and those who didn't came, naturally let those who knew it teach them, and after that, Li Xin hardly had anything to do with it.

After the sweet potato starch is ready, gather everyone together and teach you how to make vermicelli.

"Sister, are the vermicelli delicious?" Wen Hao asked on the way home.

"It's delicious! We'll know when we make it. Although our family can't make vermicelli, there are so many sweet potatoes in the village, so we can definitely make a lot of vermicelli. Just buy some and eat it when the time comes." Li Xin rubbed Wen Hao's head, "Is Wen Hao greedy?"

"No, I just asked out of curiosity." Wen Hao said with a look of disdain.

"Do you really not want to eat it? Then we will eat it and let you watch." Li Xin said with a smile.

"No, if it is really delicious, I will definitely eat it. I hope it will be delicious! But, elder sister, you have never eaten it, how do you know it is delicious?" Wen Hao looked at Li Xin a little strangely.Speaking of which, since the eldest sister woke up from that head injury, she seemed to have changed a lot.It's amazing to get so many novel seeds, and the things grown from those seeds are delicious!
It seems that all of a sudden, the eldest sister knows a lot of things, and the life at home has become better and better.The old people in the village always say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good luck in the future. I don’t know if this is the case with the elder sister!
"I haven't eaten it either! These things were taught to me by the foreigner who gave me the seeds! The foreigner said it was delicious, so I think it should be delicious too! After all, he has so many things. You're right, and you haven't lied to me. So, vermicelli should be delicious." Actually, Li Xin really didn't know how to explain it.

Although a foreigner was made up, now all the things that cannot be explained are pushed to the foreigner.However, the children in the family are very smart, and she also knows that they may not really believe it.After all, these things she knows are the accumulation of so many years in her previous life, it is impossible for a foreigner to just talk to her, and she will know everything!
Even a genius can't do it.There is also the matter of kung fu. Although she is teaching Wen Hao, Wen Hao may not doubt what she made up.Kung fu can never be learned overnight.

However, no matter whether they suspected it or not, as long as they didn't question it clearly, she would not tell the truth.Maybe, many years later, when they were all grown up, if they asked her again at that time, she might tell them everything.It's just that now, of course, isn't the time.

"I hope it's delicious!" Wen Hao didn't say anything.Wen Bo glanced at Li Xin thoughtfully, and quickly looked away.

"Okay, let's go back!" Li Xin smiled and walked all the way home.

"By the way, big sister, there must be a lot of people planting sweet potatoes today. Should we plant them at home? If they are all planted, will they not be sold? Although they can be made into vermicelli, but if there are too many vermicelli, we can eat them too." There is no end to it, so of course it has to be sold. The production is too big, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to sell it for any money.” Wen Bo suddenly discussed with Li Xin about planting sweet potatoes.

"Since others like to grow them, let others grow them first! This year, I didn't think about planting more varieties of sweet potatoes. If my family likes to eat them, I can just plant a little. It's enough to eat, and I don't need to grow too many. I thought, this year we will plant corn on a large scale. If you want it in Pinxiang Pavilion, you can sell some tender ones. If you don’t want to play it, you can keep it as seeds. Corn is also a good thing. If the time is right, let everyone plant it too .”

"It turns out that the elder sister has already had an idea!"

"Although I have planted corn in the past two years, I have never sold any of them. Almost all of them are kept as seeds. Naturally, I should plant some and sell them. I don't think there is too much money. Moreover, after the spread of corn, there will be It's not worth much money, so hurry up and earn some money." Li Xin smiled.Speaking of which, she didn't earn much money from Sweet Potato!Although the sweet potato vines were seeds, she gave them away for free and did not charge any money.

It seems that money will still be charged for the seeds in the future, otherwise the family will not be planting for nothing, and there will be no money.Although good things are to be done, it is better to sell them cheaper, not too expensive.If it is always given away for free, I am afraid that the family will be poor.Seeds also need to be planted, using fields and managers, which still requires a lot of cost.
