To say how delicious this lotus root is, Wen Xin feels that it is just that.
But compared with the lotus root they had last year, it was more than a little stronger. In Wen Jin's words, these two are also lotus roots, but they taste completely different.
Wen Hou sighed, "Why did the lotus root taste so terrible last year, but it tastes so much better this year."
Wen Xin said: "The season is wrong. Everything is in season. This lotus root should be in season, so it is crispy, tender and refreshing. Last year's lotus root had a strange smell. I guess the lotus root was bad. It's just that we
I just don’t know.”
There is some truth to this, but the lotus root is already delicious just stir-fried like this. Wouldn't Wen Wenxin make the lotus root starch even more delicious? Wen Shan was very looking forward to the taste of the lotus root starch, so he asked: "Sister, this lotus root starch
When can we eat it? Shan'er thinks it must be delicious."
"This will take several days to complete. The lotus roots washed today need to be precipitated. After one night, the precipitated contents will be dried in the sun and turned into powder before consumption. This will take several days to complete."
Wen Jin asked strangely: "Xin'er, how do you know this?"
Wen Xin choked. This was a good question. However, she didn't need to say anything. Wen Yu explained for her: "Xin'er was also there when they said it. You heard it, right Xin'er."
"Yes, Xin'er heard it."
Adhering to the principle that talking too much can lead to mistakes, Wen Wen immediately stopped talking. Wen Wen didn't speak, and the rest of the family naturally stopped talking as they were busy eating.
The atmosphere of the family's meal was harmonious, but Grandpa Wen's chopsticks, which were reluctant to pick vegetables, looked a little unbearable. She used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of lotus root and put it into Grandpa Wen's bowl. Grandpa Wen was stunned for a moment and narrowed his eyes.
She smiled and said to Wen Wen: "Xin'er can eat it by herself. Grandpa will eat it."
"Grandpa, eat more. These lotus roots are all for free. If you don't eat them, you won't eat them. Tomorrow, Xin'er will take the brothers to dig out more. Xin'er will also keep them for the eldest sister. After they finish eating, they will be sent to the eldest sister later."
Grandpa Wen nodded slowly, "Xin'er is so good."
That's what she said, but she wouldn't really ask her to deliver the meal after dinner. It was Wen Yu who delivered the meal before, and it's still the same today.
Two days ago, Wen Wan would have smashed Wen Yu's bowl as soon as he handed it in. However, today, there was no sound from Wen Wan. On the contrary, after Wen Wan quickly finished it, he asked them for another one.
Bowl of rice.
Of course, in rural areas, there is no habit of adding food. There is a fixed amount of rice to cook for each meal every day. It is only that much for one meal. If you want to add more, you will never have to add more.
Maybe she was full and energetic, so Wenwan started to curse again without asking for rice. Of course, no one paid any attention to her.
After washing, Wen Xin returned to the room. She first spread the cloth on the ground as Wen Yu told her, and then poured the washed rice onto the cloth and spread it flat. Maybe it had been placed in the space for a while, and there was some excess.
The water in the rice has already been drained in the space. Now that it is poured on the ground, the rice is already half dry. I think if it stays like this for a night, the rice should be completely dry.
After spreading the rice, Wen Xin fell asleep peacefully.
The next day.
When Wen Wen woke up early in the morning, she first took a look at yesterday's rice. Sure enough, it was all dry as she thought. After putting the rice into the space, she went to check the lotus root starch she made yesterday.
The water on the wooden basin of the water tank used to hold the sedimentary powder yesterday is now extremely clear. All you need to do is pour out the water and get out the sediment below.
Just as she was thinking about this, Wen Shan ran out of the room and came to her side, asking expectantly: "Sister, is the lotus root starch ready?"
"It's almost the same. I guess I can eat it the day after tomorrow."
Wenxin carried the smallest pot in the kitchen out slowly, but it was only half way before Wenhou took it away, "Xin'er, come on, brother, how can you carry such a big pot?"
Wen Wen didn't force it. It was really difficult for her to carry the basin, so when Wen Hou took it, she let go of her hand and said, "Thank you, brother. Brother, just pour the water on top."
Wenhou brought the basin to the gutter next to the room, and slowly poured the water out. When the water reached the white sediment, Wenhou quickly shouted to stop, "It's almost done, brother, keep this one."
The two returned to the room together. Wenxin took a small scraper and scooped out the white sediment bit by bit. At this time, Wen Yu and Wen Jin had also woken up and watched Wenhou imitate his actions.
In this way, until the largest water tank was filled with water, when Wen Xin went to scoop up the sediment in it, she almost couldn't put her whole body directly into it.
Wen Yu looked at it and smiled, "Okay, Xin'er, let the second brother do this. If you crawl in further, you should go in by yourself."
Wen Xin glanced at her little arms and legs with a look of disgust, but had no choice but to hand the scraper to Wen Yu.
After Wen Yu scooped out the contents of the water tank, he found that the lotus root powder from the 16-section lotus root could scoop out half a basin of white sediment.
Wen Wen then ordered his brothers to wrap the sediment with cloth and hang it directly on the eaves of his house. Finally, he said with a relieved look: "Just wait until it dries. It will be done tomorrow."
Although it is autumn now, it is still very hot, otherwise there would be no such thing as autumn tiger.
The fields at home have been being cleaned for several days, and there is not that much work in the fields after the autumn harvest. Yesterday, Wenxin suggested that everyone go up the mountain to dig lotus roots. Today, after breakfast, the group went directly up the mountain.
There are many Wen family members, and such a large group of people quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. Zhang Dahu, the son of Mrs. Zhang's family who was closest to her home, ran over and asked some of them: "
Hey, where are you going, Wen Jin, let's go out to play, you don't have to go to the fields today."
Zhang Dahu is the eldest son of the Zhang family. He is about the same age as Wen Jin. They are both skinny and fierce, so they can play together on weekdays. However, Wen Jin has something to do today, so how can he go out with Zhang Dahu? "I
I have to help my sister with some work today and I don’t have time to play, so you can go by yourself."
Looking at Wen Jin's proud face, Zhang Dahu felt that Wen Jin was mentally ill. Whoever worked for him was just doing work. There was nothing to be proud of in working.
Zhang Dahu advised: "No, let's go out to play. We haven't gone out to play in a long time. We haven't done enough work in the past few days."
Wen Jin frowned, "That's different. The previous work was at home, and today's work is my sister's work. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I still have to help my sister with work. If you want to play, hurry up.
