Chapter 25 Sweet Potato Powder

Li Mingli arrived home after dinner at Li's house. Li Mingmei brought the food she had left for Li Mingli, and the Li family also sat beside her. Li Mingli said to Zhao Yunlan while eating: "Sister-in-law, I bought all the ginger and dogwood you want, and I spent all fifty cents. It's just that this ginger is too expensive and I don't buy much."

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, I know Jiang Gui, as long as you can."

Li Mingli digged the food and continued, "I went to the town for a walk today. As my sister-in-law guessed, there are two bamboo baskets in the town, and the style is very similar to ours. I went to inquire about it. One was sold by the son of the old woman who bought the basket that day. The other one was an outsider in the west of the town."

This bamboo basket is really simple. A craftsman who knows how to make a craftsman can buy one and go back to see it. Zhao Yunlan thought that if she kept making money, she would only be able to make new styles and slowly accumulate reputation. She didn't make much money, but she could also be considered a business.

Wang didn't say anything, there was no expression on his face. Old Man Li was holding his forehead worriedly, while Li Mingzhi and Li Mingmei were indignant and wanted to say something.

"Well, if we find out clearly, don't worry about it anymore. As long as we don't hurt our Li family, we don't cause trouble." Zhao Yunlan continued, "And our backpack and dustpan were also learned by our father and grandfather outside, so this kind of thing is not easy to investigate." Zhao Yunlan was helpless, there was no saying to protect rights in ancient times.

The bamboo basket business cannot develop for a long time after all, and Zhao Yunlan now only wants to make sweet potato flour as soon as possible.

When the next day, the sky was gray. "Sister-in-law, it's probably going to rain today." Li Mingmei was tidying up in the kitchen and chatting with Zhao Yunlan.

"Yes, I'll take the dustpan under the eaves." Zhao Yunlan went to the yard to hold the sweet potato starch dried from the dustpan. She twisted it with her hands and it was pretty good.

Zhao Yunlan didn't want to wait any longer: "Little sister, bring another dustpan and sieve, I'll sifte the powder."

"Hey, here it's here."

"Buy another pot of hot water and eat breakfast later. I'll make it for everyone to taste it." Zhao Yunlan kept explaining to Li Mingmei while sifting her powder hands.

The powder was sifted out some large pieces of slag, and the powder in the dustpan became more delicate. Zhao Yunlan brought it to the kitchen to prepare the paste, and the water from Li Mingmei was almost ready to cook. Zhao Yunlan took out the slag that had been prepared early, started to make the paste, stir and knead the ball, and then put it in the slag, and the roots were leaked into the pot of boiling water. The white paste turned into transparent vermicelli in the pot.

"Sister-in-law, it has changed, the color has changed." Li Mingmei shouted from the side,

Li Mingli and Li Mingzhi hurried over, eager to see what was in the pot.

"Be careful, don't burn it. Wait a little while each person will have a bowl, and you'll see enough." Zhao Yunlan reminded the two brothers to pick up the noodles and use the cold water here, leaving the amount of food for the whole family. The rest asked the two brothers to find a wooden stick to support it, hang it up, and hang it under the eaves.

Zhao Yunlan continued to prepare dishes in the kitchen, and wanted to put peas in the sour and sour noodles. Zhao Yunlan went to the warehouse to scoo up a small bowl to stir-fry peas, and prepared the onions, ginger, garlic, dogwood. There was still some vinegar left in the town before, Zhao Yunlan found it and put it in, and prepared the seasonings one by one.

Zhao Yunlan also thought that Xiaobao was still young and could not eat spicy food, so she had to make a steamed egg for Xiaobao alone and make some noodles. She was afraid that the noodles would be hungry quickly, and it would be nice to pair it with the pancakes.

After Zhao Yunlan finished her work, she started to burn the flour. The powder just now passed the cold water and then burned it again, so there was no need to cook it for too long. Then add some wild vegetable leaves and burn it in the pot.

The bowls of flour came out of the pot, and the taste slowly came out, "Little sister, come and bring the bowl over."

Zhao Yunlan asked about the smell: "It's this feeling, just smelling it makes you feel appetizing."

Everyone in the room sat down, and Zhao Yunlan said, "Everyone, let's try it, how about it!"

The third and fourth brothers couldn't wait for Zhao Yunlan to start eating. Old Man Li tasted a few bites and said without fear of being hot, "This taste is so strange. It's not only sour but also choking, but it's the more you eat it, the more you get more appetizing."

Xiaobao saw that what he had eaten was different from what others had in the bowl, and he was clamoring to eat what Zhao Yunlan had in the bowl. Zhao Yunlan was so funny that she was so funny that she had to pick a piece of powder and feed it to Xiaobao.

The smell of dogwood made Xiaobao spit out directly and she started crying. Zhao Yunlan hurriedly fed Xiaobao water, smiling while feeding it.

Wang looked at this: "You said you had to give it to him, it would be fine if he didn't understand, but you don't know if he could eat it?"

"Mom, hehe, it's okay. He will have a memory after giving him food. He wants to let him feel it for himself. I didn't give him much, I'm very responsible." Zhao Yunlan said and laughed again.

Xiaobao watched his mother laughing all the time, but she didn't cry, but instead started laughing.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of food is this? I didn't expect that sweet potatoes can make such noodles-like things." Li Mingli asked in confusion as he stared at the food in the bowl.

"This, I read the book and said it was made of sweet potatoes into vermicelli, it should be sweet potato flour!" Zhao Yunlan said without blinking. "What do you think of this food? Dad, mom, tell me."

Old Man Li said, "It tastes good, I still want to eat it after eating it."

Wang: "The taste is really good, what are your plans?"

The Li brothers and sisters also nodded in agreement with the old couple.

"I plan to do this food business, which is a fixed business for our Li family, but this method cannot be mentioned for the time being." Zhao Yunlan told the Li family, and the Li brothers and sisters nodded again, "Sister-in-law, we won't tell you about this money-making matter, how can we tell others?" Li Mingli promised.

"This method cannot be said, it's just that you said you saw it in the book shop, so you have to buy the book back." Wang was worried.

Old Man Li is not afraid of wasting money now. "Yes, hurry up and buy the book."

"Dad, mom, we can also be considered as food from other places. Even if we buy books, we will probably pass them from other places in the future. I will go to the town to check it out later. However, we have to hurry up and start this business. We will take the opportunity first and wait until someone in the village asks us, and we will reveal it slowly." Zhao Yunlan's eyes were a little dazed. As expected, if you tell a lie, you have to use many lies to make a comedy. You can only find an opportunity to go to the bookstore to do a show alone, Zhao Yunlan was planning.

"Also, when we do business, we can't call it sweet potato flour, otherwise we can probably guess it is made of sweet potatoes. The taste of this flour is sour and spicy, so we call it hot and sour noodles," Zhao Yunlan continued to remind.

"Well, this name fits very well." Old man Li drank the last soup and agreed with the name.

Zhao Yunlan continued here: "My little sister and I go to the town, let's buy some rags to make the first flowers."

"Well, sister-in-law." Li Mingmei grinned happily.

"What kind of top flowers are you doing? Didn't you say you won't weave a basket?" Wang asked in confusion.

"Mom, it was the little girl who discovered the head flower business. The little girl in the village asked her to buy the head flower on her head when she saw it. Only then did we think of this way to make money." Zhao Yunlan explained.

"You can't make money from the village. A village has helped our family more or less. We can't lose our true intentions to make money." Wang said cautiously.

"Hey, mom, don't worry, my sister-in-law has told me these advantages and disadvantages. We plan to go to the town to sell the flowers of Dahua Sister and the others, I'll give them the flowers." Li Mingmei answered honestly.

Only then did Wang feel relieved: "You have the regulations and do it like this! Go to the town quickly! It will rain later."

"Sister-in-law, I want to go with you too." Li Mingzhi urgently grabbed Li Mingmei and begged Zhao Yunlan.

"Go, go, let's go together." Zhao Yunlan agreed with a smile.

The three of them carried baskets and straw raincoats on their backs and set off.
