The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 033 Sweet Potatoes



After Uncle Lin gave the things to the second brother, he changed into his old clothes and went to the fields to help Lin Huzi and the others with farm work.

Sweet potatoes are worthless, but sweet potatoes are considered a relatively fine type of coarse grains, and Lin Lao Yao will occasionally give them to Erfang.

Ten catties of sweet potatoes is not much, so Erfang can change the taste, but the brown sugar must be hidden well, if the youngest Lin accidentally finds it, the Lin family will have trouble again.

Lin Xiazhi looked at the sweet potatoes brought back by Uncle Lin, and suddenly thought of a delicious and simple food, sweet potato jelly!He used to make sweet potato jelly with processed sweet potato flour. I don't know if it can be made with raw sweet potato.

Li Xiu has a lot of work to do every day. Zhou Xiaozhu took the initiative to help Li Xiu with things when he came back. Although Li Xiu didn't talk much, Zhou Xiaozhu and him got along very well. They went out together to talk, find wild vegetables, and cut pigs Only Lin Xiazhi and seven-year-old Lin Ancheng stayed at home.

Before Li Xiu went out, Lin Xiazhi asked him for sweet potatoes, saying that he wanted to make food for his younger brother, so Li Xiu gave him two bigger ones, and asked Brother Xia to take good care of his younger brother.

Now, Lin Xiazhi washed the sweet potatoes and cut them into small pieces, then rummaged through the old house and took out a piece of gauze, a wooden basin, and a small stone hammer.

"Brother Xia, what are you doing?" Lin Ancheng looked at Lin Xiazhi tinkering with sweet potatoes, and he didn't understand. Can't sweet potatoes be eaten directly after steaming?But he likes to eat roasted sweet potatoes the most. He only needs to throw them into the stove after cooking, and use the remaining fire of the stove to roast the sweet potatoes. It tastes sweet and soft.

"Cheng'er, my brother is making delicious food, let's eat something different tonight." Lin Xiazhi blinked.

Lin Ancheng took a small stool and sat aside, watching Lin Xiazhi busy.

Because he was raised in the county since he was a child and never did farm work, Lin Ancheng's face is white and tender, and he looks cute, but his body is not very good, and his appearance is not strong.

Lin Xiazhi patted Lin Ancheng's head, and continued to toss the sweet potato in his hand.

Put the sweet potato pieces into the stone trough in the yard, then cover it with gauze and beat it repeatedly with a stone hammer until the sweet potato in the stone trough turns into sweet potato mash, then wrap the sweet potato mash with gauze and put it in a wooden basin. After adding water to the basin, knead the sweet potato mash repeatedly.

The water in the wooden basin turned milky white due to the sweet potato starch being rubbed in, and the volume of the sweet potato mash wrapped in the gauze kept decreasing until only the fiber of the sweet potato remained.

Lin Xiazhi took a breath. Whether it was hammering sweet potatoes or rubbing starch, it was physical work. Now I stopped and felt that my arms were a little weak. Heating the pot of sweet potato starch water was the last step in making sweet potato jelly.

If it is in modern times, there is no such trouble at all, just mix the dried sweet potato powder with water.

It was half an hour before lunch was made at home, and while there was no one else in the house, he ran to the kitchen to light the fire, and asked Lin Ancheng to help watch the door, and let him know when an adult came back.

Light the fire, heat the pot, pour the sweet potato water into the pot, and stir continuously with a spatula when the water starts to heat up gradually.

This step is also very important. If the stirring is slow, there may be white spots in the finished jelly. This is uncooked sweet potato flour, which will make the taste not smooth enough.

The water in the pot slowly became viscous as it was heated until the white color disappeared and turned into a transparent paste. Lin Xiazhi knew that his sweet potato jelly was more than half successful.

In order to prevent the final product from being hard enough, Lin Xia boiled it for a few minutes at most to evaporate the water in the paste, and when he felt that the paste in the pot was thick enough, he quickly scooped it up with a spoon.

Now you only need to wait for the paste to cool down completely and solidify into jelly.
