Li Min washed her hands and came out and asked Tian Jing what to eat for lunch.
Tian Jing wanted to ask if there was a choice? Either pumpkin or sweet potato. After catching a glimpse of the dried kudzu powder, she smiled and waved to Li Min, "Come here, I'll tell you what to eat for lunch."
Tian Jing's smile made Li Min inexplicably look forward to it, "Sister-in-law?"
Tian Jing raised her hand and pointed to the sieve, "Stir the kudzu powder into a paste, steam it on a hot plate, grease it with oil, scoop out the paste and turn it around on the shallow plate, leaving only a thin layer on the shallow plate, put it on the drawer and steam it.
Transparent brown means it’s ripe.”
"Tear it off and put it in cold water, then take it out and prepare it for about ten pieces per person."
"After all the vermicelli is steamed, add soy sauce to the pot, scoop out a piece of broth and freeze it, add a little water and salt, pick out a few pieces of meat, mince it and put it in, wash two spinach and chop it into pieces and put it in the soup. Once the spinach is cooked
Just take it out of the pot, here are the toppings.”
"Cut the vermicelli into strips, add the toppings, eh... Li Min, hurry up and do it, I'm going to drool."
Not only Tian Jing was drooling, but the three people who listened to her were also drooling. Li Zhengguo almost miscalculated the size of the wheel.
Li Min turned around and entered the kitchen, "I'll make it right away. From what you said, it's a bit like steamed pancakes."
"Yes, remember not to make it too thick. If it is thick, it will not be cooked well and it will not be delicious."
"I got it, pull out two spinach for me."
"Okay, let me cut it too."
The aunt and sister got busy. Mother Li looked at the kitchen and then at her son who was working as a carpenter on the roadside, feeling the beauty of life again.
Not long after, the daughter-in-law came from the kitchen and said that her daughter was not good at this or that. The daughter held her breath and said that she would definitely be able to do the next one, and Mother Li chuckled softly.
An hour later, two people outside, whose mouths were watering because of the aroma, finally heard the voice calling for dinner.
Li Zhengguo came back with tools and wanted to help his mother get out of the bed.
Tian Jing came out with the bowl and stopped him, "Stop moving, just hold it and eat. Uh, mother-in-law, can you hold the bowl?"
Tian Jing couldn't call her mother, nor could she call her aunt or aunt, so she directly called her mother-in-law.
But Mother Li was very happy, and she narrowed her eyes with a smile, "I feel energetic now that I can handle things well."
Li Zhengguo went to the east room, moved the Kang table out, and placed it next to his mother. "If you can't carry it, just put it here."
"Yeah, okay." Mother Li agreed.
Tian Jing put the kudzu vermicelli mixed with toppings on the kang table, along with the pork liver that she had not eaten yesterday. "This pork liver has been steamed on the kang table, and the vermicelli is warm. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, as long as it's not cold, go and eat quickly and leave me alone." Mother Li picked up the bowl and started eating.
Li Zhengguo had already brought out two bowls and handed one to Tian Jing, "Eat it."
Li Min also brought out a bowl, and the family of four sat under the sun, eating warm and fragrant kudzu root powder.
After slurping down half the bowl, Li Min had time to complain, "Didn't my sister-in-law say that kudzu root powder is not considered a staple food?"
"No, it doesn't matter. This is a snack. You'll get hungry quickly."
Tian Jing would never admit that she didn't think of making kudzu root powder in the same way as cold skin.
"Hmph!" Li Min took a few more sips to finish the noodles in the bowl, then went back to the kitchen to mix the second bowl.
When Li Zhengguo saw that Tian Jing had only eaten half a bowl, he went to the kitchen to find his sister to mix the second bowl for him.
After Li's mother finished eating, Tian Jing asked if she wanted to add more.
Mother Li shook her head, "I've already eaten pork liver. Didn't you say it's glutinous? I'll eat less first."
"Yes, people with weak stomachs should not eat too much." Tian Jing didn't eat the second bowl herself, but picked up a piece of pork liver and gnawed on it.
She said to the brother and sister who were eating so much, "Eat the pork liver. If you have any leftover skin, you can eat it at night, or when you're hungry in the afternoon. It's something that can be eaten cold."
Thinking that there were still more than ten pieces of rice noodles left in the kitchen, Li Min asked her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, can I mix a bowl and give it to Sister-in-law Niu? Let her know that kudzu root powder can be eaten like this."
"Okay." Tian Jing nodded. This silly elder sister-in-law can think that it is a good thing to exchange favors, and Mrs. Niu is a decent character. "I will leave six for your elder brother, and mix the rest and send them away. Her family's population
Quite a few.”
Li Min went to prepare it happily, and specially left the minced meat in the topping for her elder brother. What she scooped out now was minced spinach.
Li Zhengguo helped his mother get out of bed and walk around. Tian Jing thought of the recliner again and told Li Zhengguo the principle of the recliner, "Comrade Li Zhengguo, your task is very heavy. My mother-in-law and I both need recliners."
"Okay." Li Zhengguo looked at the smiling girl fondly, "I will do it after I come back from the county town."
Mother Li pursed her lips and smiled while watching the interaction between her son and daughter-in-law.
Li Min held a big bowl and shouted to Mrs. Niu outside the fenced yard of Niu's house.
Sister-in-law Niu curled her lips and said, "How can anyone come to visit someone else's house in time for dinner?"
Aunt Niu glanced at her daughter-in-law and said, "There are two or three meals in the village. Who can just avoid it?"
"Boss, please open the door quickly and ignore her. If she continues to stir up trouble, I'll send her to her parents' home for a few days. She'll be pregnant with a baby and she'll be in heaven soon."
Aunt Niu said and glared at her little son, as she was used to.
Brother Niu secretly tugged on his wife's sleeves to stop her from talking nonsense.
Sister Niu opened the fence gate and called Li Min into the courtyard.
"I won't go in," Li Min refused. "Sister-in-law Niu, go get the bowl and pour out the kudzu powder. My sister-in-law looks smart, but sometimes she's confused."
"No, at noon, I was obsessed with sweet potatoes and pumpkins, and suddenly I thought of making this. It's delicious. I'll bring it to you to try."
"Lest your sister-in-law say that this is not a staple food, which will demotivate you, I would like to go to the foot of the mountain to dig kudzu this afternoon. Will you go?"
Sister-in-law Niu had already smelled the delicious aroma, but she didn't expect that it was for her to eat. She was not polite to Li Min, "You must go, I will go find you after I finish my work."
After saying that, he ran into the kitchen and took out a big bowl, and turned over the shiny brown food in the bowl, "I won't wash the dishes for you anymore."
"Why are you being so polite? I haven't washed the dishes at home yet. I'll wash them together when I go back. Come in and eat it quickly. It's been mixed with toppings. It can't be kept for a long time. It won't taste good if it soaks. Wait until you get the powder out.
I'll teach you how to do it."
After Li Min learned the craft, he wanted to brag about it with Sister Niu who was also actively looking for food.
"Well, I won't send it to you."
"Don't give it away." Li Min took the bowl and left.
Sister-in-law Niu put the bowl in front of her mother-in-law, "Mom, this is the new food Li Min sent over. They are the roots of the plant I mentioned yesterday. After dinner, Li Min and I will go up the mountain to dig."
Sister-in-law Niu was cautious and did not tell her what kind of plant it was at home, but secretly told her mother-in-law in her ear.
Aunt Niu heard that the roots of vines all over the mountains and plains could make powder, so she agreed to learn from Aunt Niu. The younger daughter-in-law has been too troublesome recently, and it was the younger daughter-in-law who instigated her to get angry last night, so she waited for the elder daughter-in-law at the gate of the courtyard.
of.
Now it is right for the eldest daughter-in-law to be wary of the younger daughter-in-law. After digging up the vine roots all over the mountains and fields, she can tell others about them, and she will have an advantage.
