Chapter 86
The cornmeal in the basin was ground fairly well. Lin Shiru nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Li Qingshan quietly, and then added boiling water to the noodles in batches.

While adding water, stir with chopsticks. Originally, flour should be added to the cornmeal at this time, but flour is rare in this era, so I didn't add it. When the mixture was almost mixed, Lin Shiru started kneading it, and finally kneaded it into a slightly soft texture. Smooth dough.

Lin Shiru looked at the slightly thick corn bun in front of him with some dissatisfaction.

In modern times, the texture of the steamed buns made with flour would be much softer.

But smelling the strong fragrance of corn kernels, I can only hope that the taste will pass the test. This is the only way, Lin Shiru sighed.

Without stopping, Lin Shiru ordered Li Qingshan to take out his steamer.

"Ah? You said you don't have a steamer at home?" Lin Shiru was dumbfounded.

Lin Shiru quickly reacted, waved his hands, and kept kneading the dough.

"That's it, you ask that bolt to go to my kitchen, I have it at home!"

This was the last resort. Li Qingshan frowned. It seemed that things at home were too scarce and he had to buy them as soon as possible.

Lin Shiru felt relieved after watching Shuanzi run out.

Then with a "pop", he put the dough on the chopping board aside, which was actually a piece of wood. Knead it into a long strip, and then use your hands to make some small dough balls of equal size.

After pulling it out, knead each small dumpling evenly and round it again, and then use your thumb to make a dimple at the bottom.

In this way, each piece of yellow dough turned into beautifully shaped steamed buns.

Li Qingshan looked straight at the steamed buns kneaded out from Lin Shiru's hands. They were all chubby balls on the chopping board. They were so beautiful.

"Brother Qingshan, I brought it!" The sound of Shuanzi soon came from outside the yard. Li Qingshan took it and handed it to Lin Shiru.

"Fortunately, I have a steamer at home, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat this steamed bun today."

After looking around for a clean handkerchief, Lin Shiru took the steamer and glared at Li Qingshan. She simply picked some palm leaves and spread them under the steamer, and then carefully placed the steamed buns inside.

The pot in Li Qingshan's house was not the big pot on the stove, but a slightly smaller pot. Lin Shiru carefully placed the pot on top, for fear that the pot would shift and the steamed buns in the steamer would fall to the ground. .

After making sure it was correct, Lin Shiru asked Li Qingshan to increase the firepower. Steaming corn flour steamed buns would take 15 minutes.

During this period, she began to prepare things for fried pork, but it was obvious that Li Qingshan didn't have any usable seasonings at home. Lin Shiru was worried, would she, the gourmet foodie, be about to die here today? !
"There are some cabbage at home, do you need it?" Li Qingshan spoke at the right time, disrupting Lin Shiru's worries.

"Cabbage? I want it!" Lin Shiru gritted her teeth. It seemed that it would be okay to just make pork and cabbage soup, otherwise there would be nothing else to eat.

"Here you go." Li Qingshan quickly brought the cabbage over. Lin Shiru had already cut the pork for later use. There was a layer of fat on the pork, which she planned to use to make lard.

Looking at the enamel basin in the kitchen, Lin Shiru nodded with satisfaction. If the lard was refined, this small basin would be just enough to hold the oil.

The fire was burning brightly and was not smoky at all. Lin Shiru quickly washed and cut the cabbage and set it aside.

Handing the water ladle to Li Qingshan, Lin Shiru said softly, "Li Qingshan, bring me a small ladle of water."

The man took it, jumped on his feet, filled the water tank with a ladle of water, and came back soon.

"You're so awesome!" Lin Shiru's eyes flashed. She didn't expect that Li Qingshan could jump with a ladle filled with water without leaking.Although the water didn't look like much, she couldn't have done it herself. Li Qingshan's core muscles must be very strong, and the girl began to daydream again.

"Cough." Li Qingshan poured water into the small bowl next to him and put down the ladle in his hand sheepishly.

He looked around and asked the girl, "Is there anything else you need to get?"

"There is still a piece of salt missing. Where did you put it?" Lin Shiru did not pay attention to Li Qingshan's embarrassed expression, but carefully looked at the things needed for cooking.

"It's in the jar next to it." Li Qingshan pointed to the table aside, and Lin Shiru quickly took the jar in his hand.

In fact, the jars cannot be called jars. They are made of bamboo, and they are made very cleverly. They are obviously made of bamboo tubes, but they have lids.

"Li Qingshan, is this the jar you made?" Lin Shiru looked up at the man in surprise.

With this, she won't have to worry about how to pack things when she goes into the mountains.

Especially water or those condiments, this is really a pillow for dozing off.

"Well, what's the matter?" He made it when he had nothing to do in the mountains. Later, he didn't have anything to put salt in, so he found it and used it.

Looking at Lin Yaner like this, she seems to like it very much?
"Can you make a few more?" Lin Shiru said excitedly.

Um?Do you really like it?

Li Qingshan agreed without hesitation.

Lin Shiru was excited. He didn't expect there would be an unexpected harvest today. That bamboo jar was of great use!
The steamed corn flour steamed buns were quickly brought out. The steamed buns were golden in color and looked soft and smooth. The whole steamer exuded a unique aroma of whole grains.

"You ask Shuanzi to come in and take this out." Lin Shiru almost forgot that Li Qingshan was leaning on crutches, and carefully put the steamer aside.

Start refining lard. At this time, the fire can be slightly larger. Pour all the water in the small bowl and the chopped fat into the washed pot.

When it crackles, stir-fry a few times. After stir-frying, wait patiently for the pork to slowly render out the oil.

When most of the fat had turned into oil, Lin Shiru carefully lowered the fire and began to cook it on low heat. If the fat was shrunk into small pieces and had a slight yellow color, the fire would It will cause the lard and lard residue to turn yellow quickly, that is, it will become paste. The lard will not taste very good and will have a paste smell.

But it won't happen with low fire. If you continue refining with low fire, the oil residue will soon be turned into a brown color. However, this kind of low fire only turns the oil residue into a brown color, and will not turn the oil into a yellow color.

Soon, Lin Shiru used a spoon to pour all the oil and residue into the enamel basin.

"Brother Qingshan, what is this? It smells so good!" Shuanzi couldn't stand the overbearing smell. The aroma was so fragrant that Shuanzi wished he could eat a cow now.

Li Qingshan turned his head and looked at the boy who was looking around, "Your sister Lin is boiling lard."

"Lard? Wow, Lin...Sister Lin can cook lard?" Shuanzi was shocked. She was completely different from the person in his impression.

Shuan Zi kept secreting saliva, smelling the domineering smell in the air, Xiang was confused.
