Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 77

Before Su Qinghe could figure out a solution by himself, Su Jingsen over there happily came over with a few things: "Xiao He, look, dad made this for scraping yam skins, right?"

Su Qinghe took a closer look, and was immediately a little surprised. This skin scraper was the same as the one she had seen in her previous life, except for a handle. It was all a thin piece of iron, rolled into an oval shape, with a slit at the bottom , and then polished very thin, not very sharp, but just the kind that can hang off the yam skin.

"Father, why did you think of making this?" Su Qinghe took it in surprise, and carefully weighed it in her hand, Su Jingsen said with a smile: "I just watched you break the yam, the yam is brittle, give it a try It was cut into two halves, and then the thin-skinned one looked like it hadn’t grown. I thought, it must not be cut with a knife. If I cut it down, I might lose a lot of yams, so I wanted to make a simpler one. Knife, no, I thought about it for a day, and I got this, why don't we try it? If it doesn't work, let's find a way."

Su Qinghe was so happy that she almost hugged her father, but luckily she realized it early, otherwise, she might have given Su Jingsen a jump.He loves his daughter, but come on, my daughter can still do kisses when she was young, but this girl has grown up, so I'm really embarrassed.

The father and daughter went to the water tank, picked up a medium-sized yam, fished out one, and squatted next to the water tank to demonstrate.Su Qinghe scraped off a layer of skin on the front part with a scraper two or three times, smiling from ear to ear: "Father, this is really useful, look, only the skin of the yam was dropped, and the yam is still there."

If you use a big knife, you don't know how much you will waste if you cut a large piece.

Su Jingsen was also happy, rubbed her hands together and said, "Then let's start doing this today?"

"Father, we still need two big baskets, and put the scraped yams in the big basket." After thinking for a while, Su Qinghe shook her head again: "We can't start today, we have to fumigate with sulfur after scraping this thing , otherwise, it’s not easy to dry.”

Su Qinghe said with a smile, a basket of yams and a piece of sulfur, these are all passed down from the older generation.However, this sulfur cannot be used too much, otherwise, it will be bad for the body.

Su Jingsen was a little puzzled: "Wouldn't it be better to have a few more days in the sun? The weather was not good a year ago, but the weather in the next year must be good."

"Father, this sulfur fumigation has other benefits, and it can be kept for a longer time." Su Qinghe said with a guilty conscience. In fact, she had already read the book, and there was at most one or two sentences on it. Detailed statement.

Also, in this day and age, the cooking methods are all inherited from the ancestors, and there really are no books dedicated to these cooking methods.It is the Compendium of Materia Medica, which only appeared in the Ming Dynasty. In this era, after the Tang Dynasty, it turned around. It is similar to the Song Dynasty, but it is not the Song Dynasty. There are medical books, but this medicine book is really not authoritative. do.

However, thanks to her tireless borrowing of so many books from her fifth uncle's bookstore over the years, even fifth uncle can't figure out what books she has read, so she is not afraid of being held accountable.

"Okay, my daughter reads a lot and knows a lot, so listen to my daughter." Su Qinghe is still guilty here, while Su Jingsen nodded readily: "I'll pick up your elder brother and second brother in a while." , by the way, go to the pharmacy to buy some sulfur back?"

"Well, okay, by the way, dad must remember to go to Uncle Wu's bookstore to get some more books for me." Su Qinghe nodded quickly, and there must be a complete set of acting.

Su Jingsen complied, seeing that it was getting late, and then drove the bullock cart out.Mrs. Su Zhang hurried to the kitchen to cook. Su Qinghe didn't have much fun staying by herself, so she simply took a few yams to the kitchen to scrape the skin: "Mother, let's steam the yams tonight."

"Can this be eaten steamed?" Su Zhang asked with some doubts, and Su Qinghe nodded quickly: "It is definitely possible, eggs can still be steamed, if it really tastes bad after steaming, let's just pretend that these yams haven't grown Come out."

Su Zhang thought about it too, but a few yams, the little girl said that these things are very nourishing for the body.Even if it doesn't taste good after steaming, you can think of other ways to eat it, and it will never be wasted.How can you be too stingy to make up for your family?

In the evening, Mrs. Su Zhang cut a few yams and put them in the bowl. The three bowls were full and sprinkled some sugar.Put some boiled water again, and then cover the pot and wait for it to be steamed.

"Father, mother, you will only shave the yam skin tomorrow?" Su Zhiping was very curious when he heard what Su Qinghe said about the yam. I was busy with other things, so I couldn't bear to ask.

"Well, it's late at night, so we don't need the lamp oil. Anyway, there's nothing to do during the day." Su Zhang said with a smile. She just bought the cloth a few days ago and planned to make new clothes. This night, It is convenient to put a few needles on the soles of the stove on the stove, but you can't do it when you scrape the yam skin. After all, you have no experience, so you still have to see clearly.

"Mom, our family is not short of lamp oil, why don't we get some now, and we will help too." Su Zhian joined in the fun, but in the end Su Jingsen couldn't help it, so he had to set up a board and prepare to start scraping yams.

Two brothers, Su Zhiping and Su Zhi'an, went to help fish out the yams in the water tank, and then got a skin scraping knife from Su Jingsen. Under Su Jingsen's guidance, they started their first yam scraping activity in their lives.

It was quite fun at first, but after the yam was scraped off, it became very smooth and slippery, and the two of them laughed and laughed.Then, the tragedy came out, Su Zhian first started to yell: "Oh, why is my face so itchy."

Su Zhiping also frowned: "After you say that, I feel that the back of my hand is also a little itchy. Dad, you don't feel anything?"

Su Jingsen shook her head, and continued to scrape the yam: "No, what are you two doing?"

"I didn't do anything, I just scratched the yam here." Su Zhian said, scratching his cheek with his hand, while Su Qinghe gloated: "Oh, second brother, stop scratching, you have yam skin on your hand, that It will itch if it sticks to your face."

"It's this thing?" Su Zhiping was also a little puzzled, and looked at Su Jingsen: "Then my father did it too, why didn't you feel itchy?"

"Do you see that our father piled the yam skins on his hands?" Su Qinghe pouted, and the two brothers looked at Su Jingsen together. Sure enough, the hanging yam skins were pushed under the wooden board. Su Jingsen held the yam in one hand and the other Holding the skin scraper, the movement was fast and nimble, and there was really no yam skin on his hand.

Immediately, the two of them became a little depressed: "Then what should I do if it's so itchy?"

Su Jingsen came up with an idea: "Otherwise you two can wash with hot water, and don't get in the way here. I'll call your uncle and the others over tomorrow. A few people will definitely be able to do it quickly. The yams on the ten acres of land before years will definitely be finished." of."

"Father, it has to be delicious. Uncle and Uncle definitely don't need wages, so let them eat at home." Su Qinghe reminded with a smile, Su Jingsen nodded: "That's up to you? Let your mother tomorrow Start buying meat, and we also eat big meat dishes every day."

While a few people were talking, Su Zhian said again: "I smell a sweet smell, is that yam steamed?" As he spoke, he poked his nose vigorously.Su Zhiping also nodded: "Well, it's very sweet, could it be that the sugar water has evaporated?"

Su Qinghe jumped up and went to lift the lid of the pot, while Su Zhangshi muttered to her not to burn her hands.

"Well, it's really steamed, it's delicious." Su Qinghe took half of the chopsticks, let it cool down, and took a bite. Really, it was soft, sweet and noodle!I haven’t tasted this for many years. In the past, I could often eat it when I was in my hometown, but when I went to school, the iron stick yam is not affordable for ordinary people. Even if there are cheap ones, I have to beware of fake ones. goods.

After coming here, I have never eaten.Now this familiar taste can be eaten again, life has no regrets.

Su Zhian saw that her food was delicious, so he hurried over to him, he was much more sensible than Su Qinghe, he brought out two bowls to Su Zhangshi and Su Jingsen, and then brought the last bowl to share with Su Zhi.

As for Su Qinghe, her bowl is indispensable.It's a pity that the girl grew up and knew she was pretty, so after only eating two, Su Qinghe reluctantly pushed the bowl in front of Su Zhi'an: "Brother and Brother, eat it, I won't eat it."

"Hey, didn't you really like it just now?" Su Zhi'an was surprised, Su Qinghe shook her head with difficulty: "I'm afraid I'll get fat after eating it, this one is very sweet." Su Zhangshi didn't feel sorry for her own white sugar at all, a spoonful of sugar Go down, the soup is thick.

Su Zhiping nodded in agreement: "It's quite delicious, but it's a bit sweet. Next time, mother, put less sugar."

Mrs. Su Zhang nodded: "I think it's a bit sweet, I wonder if we can add some salt to make it salty."

Su Jingsen took up the conversation with a smile on the side: "I now feel that even if this product is not sold in pharmacies, we can cook it and eat it ourselves. Otherwise, give shopkeeper Yang some to try tomorrow? It's delicious to eat steamed like this You said, before this, why didn’t everyone know that yam can be eaten like this? The wild yam on the mountain was wasted.”

"Father, there may be people who eat yams like this in the north." Su Qinghe said with a smile: "However, we really don't have any here, otherwise, father will bring a bowl for shopkeeper Yang to taste tomorrow, but, I don't know if there is any taboo to eat like this, but I have to ask Dr. Song to show it to me first."

Su Jingsen nodded again and again: "Well, after all, it's medicinal materials. Although it is for nourishing the body, don't overdo it. Isn't there a saying called, the deficiency is not tonic? You have to be careful about this. By the way, this way You can eat it steamed, so you can also cook porridge, right?"

"Mother, don't you know if you try it tomorrow morning?" Su Zhiping said aside, "I feel more and more that my little sister is a lucky star. You can sell anything you want, and my little sister is a great contributor to our family."

Su Zhi'an hurriedly nodded in agreement, and Su Jingsen said with a smile: "Then you have to treat Xiao He better in the future, if it wasn't for Xiao He, you two are just like dog eggs, rolling in the mud every day. "

"It's necessary to be hungry. Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely treat my little sister well." Su Zhian patted his chest to assure him. Although Su Zhiping didn't speak, he nodded firmly.

Su Qinghe interrupted a few words with a smile, and Su Zhangshi said: "Okay, you three don't talk too much, pack up quickly, it's getting late, those who should sleep should go to sleep, and those who should wash their feet should go to bed." Wash your feet, you have to get up early tomorrow."
