In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Chapter 208 Live for yourself

When Gu Lixia grew up, the sweet potatoes she saw were as thick as her thighs.

Including those grown in space, if you don’t think the small ones are delicious.

Any length.

Each one can grow as thick as Gu Lixia’s thigh.

After digging the sweet potatoes, breakfast is simple.

Porridge and steamed sweet potatoes.

Gu Lixia took two bites and found it had a white center and was not tasty.

Gu Lixia likes to eat the ones with yellow flesh.

To work.

Tuesday, the 20th.

Read the newspaper as usual.

get off work.

After dinner, I washed my hands, face and feet.

Go back to the house and enter the space.

Gu Lixia prepared to make pure handmade sweet potato vermicelli in the morning. It is fragrant, healthy, delicious and has no additives.

The final vermicelli is chewy, smooth, and can withstand cooking without becoming mushy.

Sweet potato vermicelli is a traditional specialty made from the starch in sweet potatoes. It comes in wide and thin varieties and is as nutritious as sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato vermicelli does not become mushy even after long cooking, and is chewy and smooth, and can be cooked with many ingredients.

Whether it is eaten cold, stir-fried, steamed or fried, or in a hot pot, it is very delicious.

Make your own pure handmade additive-free sweet potato vermicelli at home, which is both hygienic, healthy, smooth and delicious.

First, you need to make sweet potato starch and prepare 40 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

(5 seedlings were dug in the space yard.)

Put it in the basin, turn on the tap, and Jiang Wen rinses the mud off the surface.

Gu Lixia’s space is planted with yellow-hearted sweet potatoes.

Then I went to the garage and used a powder grinder to make mud. All I got was water, fiber, and starch.

Then pour it into the gauze and Jiang Wen filters out the sweet potato residue.

(There will still be some starch in it, so you can rinse it several times with clean water to increase the flour yield.)

The sweet potato residue can be used to feed pigs.

In this era, people eat it directly.

Gu Lixia didn't plan to eat it by herself.

Planning to feed the geese.

The remaining water and starch are allowed to settle overnight.

When I woke up the next morning, my hair was clearly layered.

Gu Lixia poured out the water on the surface.

The bottom layer is sweet potato starch, which is still wet powder and contains moisture.

After scooping it out, let it dry.

Using 40 kilograms of sweet potatoes, about 10 kilograms of wet powder can be made, and after drying, only 5 kilograms will be left. In this way, the raw materials are extracted.

Call Jiang Wen to make sweet potato vermicelli.

Put 50 grams of sweet potato starch, 350 milliliters of water and 3 grams of salt into a pot, turn on medium heat and cook until it becomes a transparent, sticky paste.

That is cooked starch.

Then pour the cooked starch into the dry sweet potato starch.

Jiang Wen put on gloves and kneaded it evenly.

(If it is too dry, you can add some water)

The final state is that the thread is continuous when pulled.

Then put it into the vermicelli pressing machine and squeeze it into the boiling water pot.

After it is shaped, it will float up, then cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until it is completely transparent, then take it out and rinse it with cold water.

The sweet potato vermicelli is ready and very chewy.

Both husband and wife are very serious.

Gu Lixia already knew how to make it. She usually used potato flour to make hand-rolled wide noodles.

When doing it, I can say that I fully understand the process.

Jiang Wen is different. He feels like he understands it but also like he doesn’t.

Gu Lixia didn't care, just helped. There were many people eating, and there were many Jiang family members.

Gu Lixia is very conscious in this regard.

Gu Lixia was naturally very satisfied.

Jiang Wen is also very concerned about storing food.

If the husband and wife are of one mind, the profit will be cut off.

After finishing, Gu Lixia heated milk and boiled eggs.

Leave space.

Jiang Wen carried water while Gu Lixia lit the fire and cooked.

Jiang Wen takes the children out for exercise.

Gu Lixia cooked porridge and made candied sweet potatoes.

Peel the sweet potatoes, cut into dice, and fry in 70% hot oil until light yellow. When the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove from the oil and set aside.

Place the wok on the fire, add water, add sugar after boiling, stir constantly with a hand spoon, wait until the sugar starts to bloom (the color of the sugar should be light yellow), add the fried sweet potato pieces, stir fry evenly, so that the sugar flowers are evenly hung on the sweet potato pieces, sprinkle sesame seeds on the sweet potatoes, quickly put them on a plate, and apply oil to the plate in advance to prevent them from sticking.

Serve quickly.

The porridge can be used to rinse chopsticks and dip in water.

When the children and Jiang Wen came back, they smelled a sweet fragrance as soon as they entered the main room.

"What's fried?" Jiang Huaibei came in first and saw a large plate of sweet potato chunks on the table, but he didn't recognize it.

"Sweet potato. Wash your hands and eat." Gu Lixia had already had porridge.

Gu Lixia picked up a piece for herself first. It was very long and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a sweet taste.

Jiang Huainan and Jiang Huaibei also enjoyed the food, and Jiang Huainan even had a lateral incisor that fell out.

Jiang Huaixi was so scared that he wanted to eat it but didn't dare to.

Fortunately, everyone else ate it.

Lian Jiang Huainan is still eating.

Jiang Huaixi also started eating again.

Go to work, get off work.

At 7:50 in the evening of the 24th, Jiang Wen went to Jiang Maocai's house.

His home is in the first alley on the right after entering the staff housing complex.

The 8th house in the second row.

When Jiang Wen arrived, Jiang Maocai was about to go out to work.

We just interact with each other as usual, nothing unusual.

At the critical moment of delivering grain, no one dared to take it lightly.

What if someone in the family compound reports it?

Jiang Maocai didn't even talk to Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen knew that the other party understood what he meant.

Jiang Wen wants something similar.

Jiang Maocai was naturally satisfied as he got both food and meat.

After Jiang Wen came back, Gu Lixia led everyone into the space and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Get up the next day.

25 number.

It's another Sunday.

Gu Lixia didn't want to get up, so she just lay there.

Jiang Wen slept until he woke up naturally.

I'm also a little curious why Gu Lixia didn't get up.

Went to Gu Lixia's room.

Gu Lixia said directly, "I'm weak."

Jiang Wen saw that Lixia was still lying there with no intention of getting up.

I went to the kitchen and steamed some dumplings for myself.

After Jiang Wen finished eating, Gu Lixia came out, sent Jiang Wen out of the space, and closed the door.

Back to space again.

I lay down on the massage chair and fell asleep.

Jiang Wen was in the Jiang family kitchen, cooking porridge, steaming sweet potatoes, potatoes, and rice.

When the children got up, they asked where Gu Lixia had gone.

Jiang Wen said, "Don't disturb her. She's tired from making cotton pants for you. She's sleeping. She'll come out when she wakes up."

After dinner, Jiang Wen rode his bicycle, took an axe and a rope, and took Jiang Huainan out to collect firewood.

Out of the city.

One hour.

We are almost at Zhangjia Village.

Into the woods.

Stop the bike.

During this time, farmers are harvesting crops in the fields.

There is still some firewood outside the mountain.

Every household was collecting firewood, but there was only so much firewood.

It's "I picked it up and you picked it up, you left and he came", over and over again.

Firewood is divided into two categories, commonly known as "rough firewood" and "hard firewood".

The so-called "rough firewood" refers to firewood with loose texture, low density, and easy to ignite.

For example, millet straw, corn leaves and stalks, and yam seedlings are mostly "by-products" after crop harvesting.

Or the straw left over from cattle, sheep, donkeys, mules and other livestock can all be made into high-quality firewood.
