Chapter 391: She doesn't have the patience to scrape wood ashes every day
What He Xiner has been busy talking about in the past few days is that there are a lot of fruits picked this time, and drying them takes a lot of time than last time.
Another thing was that the oven that her uncle promised to make for her was ready. She was so happy that He Xiner lit up the oven and did various experiments whenever she had time.
Although Ye Laijin is the first to make a hand-made oven, it is quite successful. There is a fire channel under the stove for making fire, and the oven above is used to put things. You only need to put the ingredients to be roasted, and then
Just use specially made wooden boards to block it.
There was no iron plate or anything that could be used as a baking pan, so He Xiner put the washed sweet potatoes directly inside, secretly remembering to buy a thicker iron sheet to use as a baking pan when she went to town.
The sweet potatoes can be placed directly inside, but if it is chicken or rabbit, a baking sheet must be used.
I don't know what my cousin is busy with. Except for seeing him when eating, I can't find anyone at other times. My third uncle is at home again, and I can't go to Dongkuoyuan to read in the evening. He Xiner is very bored and puts all her enthusiasm into it.
All used in food preparation.
The first thing is roasted sweet potatoes. A full basket is roasted every time, not only for Yuanyuan and Cuizhi, but also for the whole family. The roasted sweet potatoes are hot, soft, glutinous, fragrant and sweet, and there is no one who doesn’t like them.
Especially the elderly Lao Yetou likes to eat soft and rotten food. Coupled with the sweet taste, Lao Yetou can't stop eating it.
Roasted sweet potatoes are much sweeter than boiled or steamed sweet potatoes, and the sweetness is even higher than the Yitang sold in town.
In this era, sugar was a rare commodity. Households were reluctant to buy sweets, and some families were living a difficult life. It was good to just be able to fill their stomachs. Eating snacks was simply impossible.
In a family like Lao Ye's family, not to mention sugar, even salt is not willing to let go. They only put a few grains of coarse salt in the dishes for the whole family.
Except for pickles, all the food the villagers eat is tasteless.
In the past, boiled sweet potatoes and steamed sweet potatoes were the most popular among children, if not for anything else, just for their sweet taste. However, adults are not very fond of them because they don't make them hungry after eating sweet potatoes.
Nowadays, the roasted sweet potatoes made by He Xiner are obviously loved by the whole family, and no one can say anything bad about it.
Lao Yetou was so happy that he praised He Xin'er's skill.
He Xiner was very happy when she said that, but she didn't forget her uncle's skills. If he hadn't made the oven, she wouldn't have the patience to pick up firewood and ashes every day~
The oven was ready, but the cousin didn't bring pheasants or rabbits home. He Xiner just assumed that he didn't go into the mountains and didn't rush him.
When the sweet potatoes at home were finished, He Xiner started roasting potatoes again. Although they were soft and waxy, they were not as sweet as sweet potatoes. Ye Yuanyuan directly asked his father to send a large basket of sweet potatoes, which was enough to eat for a while.
In fact, He Xiner was just doing experiments and using the oven more often to control the heat. Since Yuanyuan and Cuizhi were not tired of eating them, she would continue baking!
The three of them ate extra meals every day, including fried noodles, roasted sweet potatoes, red dates, longan, etc. In a few days, Ye Yuanyuan's little face became noticeably rounder, which made He Xiner's hands itchy and wanted to squeeze them.
.
When Ye Yuanyuan wasn't paying attention, He Xiner quietly stretched out her little paw and touched Ye Yuanyuan's face, sighing, "It feels so smooth~"
Ye Yuanyuan, who was eating roasted sweet potatoes, was unexpectedly touched by her. She was stunned at first, then she blushed with embarrassment and said angrily, "Bad girl, you never have a serious time~"
As he spoke, he didn't care that he still had the sweet potato in his hand. He opened his arms and pounced on He Xiner. He Xiner was so frightened that he twitched his legs and ran into the courtyard, "Ouch, be careful with your roasted sweet potato..."
"Haha, you'd better eat the sweet potatoes first, lest they fall to the ground and ruin them."
Seeing that the two of them were having trouble, Guan Cuizhi laughed so hard that she trembled, but she did not forget to persuade Ye Yuanyuan. This chapter has been completed!
