Chapter 87 Powder
Mo Lan looked at the back of Liu Erdan and his wife who were gradually leaving, and said to himself: Their appearance is also a good thing. After their trouble, everyone has recognized the Mo family's steamed buns. In the future, even if someone comes to sell steamed buns, they can't shake their own status.
Molan and the other three returned to the backyard after selling the steamed buns. As soon as they entered, they heard an exaggerated laughter. She looked over, huh? Isn't this Liu Hu's mother? Last time she went to her house to buy goose eggs, she still looked down on her own people. Why did she come to her house today?
"Uncle Quan, Mei Mei and Lan Lan are back. How are the steamed buns sold? I heard that your steamed buns are very good. Is this steamed bun sold out again? As soon as Liu Hu Niang saw them coming back, she hurriedly stood up with a smile and greeted them.
Mo Quan nodded, answered, and then went into the room. The other party was a woman and a junior. He was not good at talking.
"Why is the aunt here? Don't be surprised by our messy aunt." Mo Lan said with a smile. "
"That's great. Look at how grandiastic your house is. Except for the master's house, it's your house. The aunt is an eye-opener now. This is really grand!" Liu Hongniang sighed and gave a thumbs up.
Molan smiled and felt that her words were too much, but she couldn't argue with her, so she had that personality.
After washing her hands, Molan looked at the food on the table and sat down.
"Tiger girl, come and eat some." Wang saw Mo Lan sitting down and knew that her granddaughter was hungry. She asked someone to call Mo Quan out and prepare for dinner. She herself and Liu Huniang were polite.
" No, no, auntie, eat it quickly. I've eaten it. Let's talk about it after eating. I'll just sit down." Liu Hu Niang smiled with him.
"What's the matter with you, aunt?" Molan looked at her attitude and knew that she must have asked for her own family, or she would not be so polite.
"Ha ha, Lan Lan asked, then the aunt will talk about it again. Don't you think your house is a shop? I heard that your family bought a lot of eggs. This is what my aunt's house sells. Why do you go to the town to buy them? It's easy to break the eggs when you have to pay for the car. It's not cost-effective. Let's buy it at my aunt's house in the future. The price really saves you errands. How suitable it is. As soon as Liu Hu Niang heard Mo Lan ask herself, she immediately said what she wanted to come.
"Oh." Molan, there is no follow-up after a word.
Liu Hu wanted to see that Molan stopped talking. She was a little anxious. First, she had talked to Wang for a long time. As a result, Wang didn't let go and said that she would wait for Mo Lan to come back to discuss. It won't allow anyone to come back, just oh, what's going on!
"Lanlan, last time you bought goose eggs, the aunt was cheap for you. You also said that it was good to remember the aunt, so why did you forget the aunt?" Liu Hu Niang was in a hurry to take out what happened last time.
Molan secretly curled her lips. Last time she looked down on them, and this time she rushed to the house to sell her own eggs. The difference between this person is really big.
"Oh, Aunt Lanlan has always remembered that Lanlan can't decide this matter. You should find my milk." Molan pushed the words out.
"I've been talking to my aunt for a long time. My aunt said she would wait until you come back. Auntie, please give me a word, or Lanlan won't agree." Liu Hu Niang was anxious. In fact, she was also very strange. How could she let a little girl make the decision?
"Do you have enough eggs, girl?" Wang asked, and she didn't know that Molan was still going to have eggs. Although she told herself the thing she made with eggs last time, she was not sure. So it's better to ask.
Molan pondered for a while, looked at Liu Hu Niang's anxious face, and said to her heart: Well, for the sake of Liu Hu's child, let's use his eggs in the future.
"Madam, it's right to buy your eggs, but I have something to say first." Molan nodded..
"Zhong, what do you want to say?" Liu Hu Niang was very happy to buy her egg and urged Mo Lan to say.
"We all want eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs. We want as many eggs as you want. In the future, if you save up a hundred, you can send them to them. Tell me the price yourself. I'll make it clear first. If you say it's expensive, don't open your mouth. We won't buy it. If Molan made the requirements clear so that they could deliver the goods to their door in the future, which also saved a lot of trouble.
As soon as Liu Hu Niang heard it, she smiled happily and wanted it all. In the future, she didn't have to worry about it. She just waited for the cashier's money, but how much is the right price? You can't report it high, or the little girl won't buy it, and she will lose a lot of money.
"How about five articles per catty?" Liu Hu Niang was cruel and said the lowest price.
Molan didn't embarrass her. It was not easy. Her price was low, and she delivered the goods again. Besides, her eggs were good. She nodded after thinking about it.
"Well, the aunt will send the eggs to you in a moment. You can eat quickly." Liu Hu Niang patted her thigh and stood up to leave.
"Wait a minute." Molan seemed to remember something and hurriedly stopped her.
"What? Lan Lan's gossip is reversed?" The smile on Liu Hu Niang's face was a little stiff after hearing these two.
"No, I'm asking if there are any potatoes in my mother's house? If you can't finish eating, bring it to my house and sell it. I want it for two catties. If my aunt doesn't have many families, you can also send a message in our village to see who is willing to sell it. Just pull it over. Molan did not break Liu Huniang's hope and talked about collecting potatoes.
"Yes, your baby scared my aunt and thought you wouldn't buy eggs. There are potatoes at home. I'll talk to you in the village later. But why do you buy so many potatoes in your family? Liu Hu Niang asked curiously.
Molan didn't smile, and Wang and others only smiled.
"The aunt doesn't ask, the aunt doesn't ask. Let's eat. I'm leaving. I'll bring you the eggs later. Liu Hu Niang stopped asking questions and left in a hurry.
In this way, the Mo family collected a lot of eggs, duck eggs and potatoes. Zhuang Shang was talking about it, but no one could guess what they were going to do.
Early the next morning, when everyone was busy, Wang looked at the piles of potatoes in the courtyard and sighed.
"What's the matter, mother? It's fine. Why are you still sighing?" Qiu asked while working, and Liu also turned his eyes to him.
"It's nothing. I just sighed when I remembered a dish I had before and hadn't eaten it for many years." Wang kept stirring the stuffing of the steamed buns.
"What a dish? Let my mother remember it for so long. My mother said that we are also eye-opening." Because of the good relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Qiu asked directly.
"That dish is not a rare thing. It's called 'cooked pork in scoop'. It's made of lean meat and a kind of noodle. This kind of noodle is not easy to make. It's made of sweet potatoes and potatoes. I couldn't help sighing when I looked at this pile of potatoes just now." What Wang said was straightforward.
"What's so difficult? We always have a lot of potatoes. Just make them for my mother." Qiu's people thought that the problem was a little simple.
"It's so easy. It's troublesome to make that powder. I've also heard people talk to me before. I don't know if I can make it." Wang looked a little melancholy.
Molan couldn't help laughing. She secretly told Wang about fried pork in scoop last night, and asked her to mention it to everyone today to make noodles. Now it's good to watch grandma's acting.
"I want to eat it, why don't we try it? Let's see if it can work?" Liu thought for a while and said.
"Isn't this too troublesome?" Wang was a little hesitant.
"What's the matter? Let's try it later. My mother will do whatever she says." Qiu also agrees with Liu's statement.
"That kind, let's try it next time." Wang agreed with the opinions of the two daughters-in-law, with a smile in his eyes.
In the afternoon, everyone began to be busy. First, they washed a basin of potatoes and put them in the basket to control the water. Then he came to the stone mill, which was made by Wang at the time of building the house and prepared for the future vermicelli.
There is a wooden pocket on the grind, the top of the wood pocket is thick, and the bottom is very thin. Mo Quan stood on the stool, poured a pot of potatoes in, picked up something, and got the potatoes. Molan didn't know this thing. It was a wooden handle, and there was a large piece of iron under it. The mouth The potato becomes two halves, and the man has been hagging it all the time, and the potato becomes a small piece, which is exposed to the graphite through the eyes of the wooden pocket.
When it was almost exposed, the Qiu people began to push the graphite, squeaking, and the white soup flowed out of the graphite. Next, use a wooden barrel to follow the soup. When almost one bucket is enough, Mo Quan will carry it and pour it into the big tank in the courtyard.
The cylinders here are different from the modern large cylinders. The cylinders here are large above, thin below, and the lower part is buried in the earth.
One afternoon, the Mo family did not fill the big cylinder, but filled more than half of the cylinder.
Looking at the white jar**, Molan sighed. There is no ready-made starch here, so I can only make it myself. It's really troublesome to do it, but it's because I can't make money in the future because I don't have my own.
The next day, the upper layer ** in the tank was vacated with a ladle, and then the piece of powdered object in the tank was taken out to the sun, dried for about the same time, and then dilute it with water.
At this time, a big pocket has been set up in the yard. The pocket is made of cotton cloth. It is square. Each corner is tied into a thick hemp rope and hung in mid-air. Then the diluted powder-shaped object is poured into the pocket. A man stood there constantly swinging the pocket, and the pocket keeps flowing down.
After finishing a few bags, the things inside will be relatively dry. At this time, you can not shake it. Let it control the water by itself, and it will be enough to cool down overnight.
The next day, take out the block object in the pocket and put it in a clean jar, add water to dilute it, put it there to let it slow down by itself, then scoop out the water inside, add water to dilute it, and basically clean up the dirty things inside.
Finally, use the pocket to swing and filter it again. The powder will come out and be dried in the sun. After drying, it will be broken into powder with your hands. This is clean starch. ( To be continued
