Nongmen Blessed Wife: The elder sister-in-law has space for farming

Chapter 42 Whimsical
This basket of sweet potatoes plus the half-basket of sweet potatoes that we still have at home may not add up to much, but just grating them is quite tiring.

Yin Ziying didn't finish wiping until Gu Yunxian and the others came back. Gu Yunxian and the others had just returned home when they saw Yin Ziying sitting on the porch wiping silk, they were shocked.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Yin Ziying said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you that I'm going to get something new today? So let's prepare this thing first."

Several people gathered around to have a look, and Yin Ziying turned the sweet potatoes into thin filaments.

"Sister-in-law, is this shredded sweet potato?"

"Well, this is sweet potato shreds. I've already made them. Come in and eat quickly. In the afternoon, let's go to the stone mill in the village to grind them all."

"Sister-in-law, these are all rubbed into silk now, if you want to grind them, what kind of grind should they be?"

Gu Yunxian and the others had never seen sweet potato vermicelli, nor the production process of sweet potato, so they were very surprised.

Yin Ziying smiled: "In short, try it first, and then you will know what it is."

No one refuted Yin Ziying's words.

Gu Yunxian said to Yin Ziying while eating: "I haven't been there for a while, and I feel that there are more fish and shrimps in the creek on the mountain. I don't know what's going on."

Hearing this, Yin Ziying pursed her lips and smiled. There are too many fish and shrimps on the mountain. I wonder if it has something to do with her?

She remembered that before she came down from the mountain for the last time, she went to the river and poured a little bit of spiritual spring water into it. At that time, she saw that the fish in the river were much happier, and she didn't know if it was the reason.

"By the way, sister-in-law, the sweet potato shreds outside are going to be ground into a paste, right? Then let's go to the village to grind them in the afternoon."

In this era, there are very few stone mills owned by the family, and basically a village shares the same stone mill.

So now they want to grind sweet potatoes into paste, but they just want to grind them at the stone mill in the village!

Yin Ziying nodded: "Well, it's time to go, and then I have to carry some water, which can be used."

Because they had something to do in the afternoon, everyone didn't rest after lunch, so they just picked up the stuff and walked to the stone mill shared by the village.

The stone mill shared in the village is under a big tree, and although it is noon, it has not been exposed to the sun.

A few people washed the stone mill with water first, then put the shredded sweet potato on it, and put a wooden barrel on the bottom to catch it.

During this period, Gu Yunxian and Gu Yunrui were responsible for pushing the stone mill, while Yin Ziying added shredded sweet potatoes and water to it from time to time.

It's not that she doesn't want to do the stone mill pushing action, but that she just tried it, and her strength is not as good as Gu Yunrui's, so she simply let the two brothers push it.

But she was really worried that they were exhausted, so she specially brought water from home, and would feed them some water as soon as the two of them stopped to rest.

Although the water was not pure space water, it was mixed with half of the amount, so after the two of them drank it, although it was not exaggerated to say that it was not so exaggerated, it was still a lot lighter.

During the period, some people passed by the stone mill, and they were very curious to see them grinding this thing.

"Brother Xian, Brother Rui, what are you doing? Grinding noodles? Why are you here at this time?"

Gu Yunxian, Gu Yunrui and others responded, and Yin Ziying answered from the side: "Auntie, we are grinding sweet potatoes."

"Sweet potato? What can this thing be used for?"

Yin Ziying couldn't tell people directly that she made sweet potato starch, so she smiled immediately: "I just think that since wheat and other things can be ground into flour, then this sweet potato must be ground into flour, so if you want to eat sweet potato pancakes in the future It's also more convenient."

Hearing this, the woman was taken aback for a moment, and then sighed in her heart: Look at how this girl from Yin's Village can live?
How poor is this old Gu family now?Can't afford this rough noodles?Are you going to eat sweet potato flour now?
well!It's hard to see this day!She sighed in her heart, and said to several people:
"Then if you make this sweet potato flour, you might as well dry it in the sun and then grind it. It may not be easy to break."

Yin Ziying said with a smile: "I think it's more convenient to grind it this way, and then take it back and dry it in the sun, otherwise it may not be easy to grind it after drying it."

Seeing this, the woman said a few more words to them, then shook her head and left.

Of course Yin Ziying knew that the woman felt that their family was too easy, but she had no choice. After all, she couldn't just tell people that she was doing a big business right now, right?
Not to mention that this matter cannot be told to others, even if she wants to get the people from the village together in the future, she must first get the first batch of sweet potato starch out and find a buyer.

Otherwise, if she speaks out, everyone in the village will think she is crazy.

Fortunately, there are many people with great strength. It didn't take long to make such an idea of ​​sweet potato shreds, and a few people had already finished grinding them all.

It wasn't until they put all the sweet potato paste into the bucket and Gu Yunxian cleaned the stone mill in the village that they rushed home.

When they got home, Gu Yunxian and others looked at Yin Ziying and said, "Sister-in-law, what are we going to do with this thing next? Tell us to do it!"

Yin Ziying waved her hand, and then brought out water for several people: "Drink some water and rest for a while, are you tired? I won't need you for the time being, I'll go find something and hang this up. "

As she said that, she went straight into the house. She remembered that when she cleaned up the kitchen last time, she saw clean gauze, and now it was time to take it out.

This sweet potato paste can't just be turned into starch, there are a lot of slag in it, and it needs to be filtered all over again.

In ancient times, if she wanted to filter things, she could only hang them up with gauze. She found gauze and hemp rope to tie the four corners of the gauze tightly, hung it on the wall, and put it on the bottom. After picking up the big wooden basin, he began to pour sweet potato mush into it.

Seeing her like this, several people gathered around: "Sister-in-law, let us help you! Sister-in-law, let us help you!"

Seeing them like this, Yin Ziying felt a little funny. Anyway, there were not many sweet potatoes left, so she directly handed them the scoop with the sweet potato paste in her hand:
"That's fine, then you guys come and get this, the clothes haven't been washed yet, I'm going to do the laundry."

When Yin Ziying came back, more than an hour had passed. As soon as they saw her come back, Gu Yunxuan and others rushed over.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, look quickly, we just noticed that the dripping sweet potato juice seems to have changed."

Yin Ziying walked over and looked at it and nodded:
"Well, this change is normal, it is slowly changing from a turbid state to a clear state.

After another hour and a half like this, we can stir this thing up and let it sit again for a while. "

Hearing her words, everyone nodded in understanding and didn't say anything, although they didn't know what this thing was for and had never seen it before.

But for some reason, as long as it was Yin Ziying's words, they felt extremely convincing.

They felt that even if what Yin Ziying did this time did not succeed, they would still be able to accept it.

After all, no matter what, Yin Ziying's starting point is for this family and for them to be better.
