Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

In the past month or so, the villagers have been carrying out road construction projects in full swing.

Xia Chuntao took a break from her busy schedule and started buying ground beans to make vermicelli.

Because ground beans were introduced from abroad for only a few months, most people didn't eat them much, so the planting volume was very small. This is an excellent business opportunity.

Xia Chuntao finally bought two baskets of ground beans in the county town and planned to take them back to make vermicelli.

Thanks to the omnipotent Internet, I used to watch videos of other people making vermicelli, and Xia Chuntao also followed suit and published an issue. In this era without vermicelli, Xia Chuntao found a way to get rich.

Borrowing the knowledge of future generations and being a pioneer in the past life, this is probably why everyone likes to read time-travel novels, because being the boss is very exciting!

To make vermicelli, you must first make starch.

Xia Chuntao first bought thirty kilograms of potatoes, peeled them all, sliced ​​them, cut them into shreds, added water and mashed them, then put them into gauze to wring out the pulp water, then added water to the gauze and continued to knead the potato residue, like this For four or five times in a row, pour the slurry produced each time into a large basin and let it sit for three hours. Pour off the water above and the starch below will be clearly visible.

However, the color of the starch is darker at this time, so Xia Chuntao needs to add water to stir the starch, let it sit for an hour, and then pour out the water on it. The color of the starch is indeed much whiter. I did this twice more and finally made pure white starch.

Then put the solidified starch in a basket, dry it in the sun, dry it and mash it to become real starch!

Xia Chuntao calculated that thirty pounds of potatoes produced almost three pounds of starch.

The process of making starch takes about three or four days.

The most troublesome step in this process was to mash the potatoes into pulp. Xia Chuntao felt that her arm was going to be useless.

I miss the wall breaker so much!

Xia Chuntao thought that if it were mass-produced in the future, the whole grinding tool would be necessary.

While making starch, Xia Chuntao approached Shuanzi's father and made a powder leakage device according to her requirements.

There are no professional carpenters in the village, and every man can do some carpentry.

Shuanzi's father was meticulous in his work and good at using his brain, so Xia Chuntao gave him a few gestures. Within two days, he had made the powder leaking device, and it was pretty good.

Then start making vermicelli. This process is much easier than making starch!

Take part of the starch, add warm water and mix well, then add just boiled hot water and stir quickly until the starch turns into a translucent and sticky paste.

Then add dry starch and a little alum to make the vermicelli more elastic.

Knead the dough while it's hot, put it into the flour drainer, press it down, and the vermicelli with even thickness will come out along the small holes and fall directly into the boiling water pot below.

Boil it for a while, scoop it out and quickly rinse it with cold water several times, and the vermicelli is ready.

Of course, for the convenience of storage, the vermicelli needs to be dried in the sun and can be used at any time when eating.

Looking at the vermicelli drying on the pole outside, Xia Chuntao felt quite accomplished.

"Mom, are the vermicelli delicious?" Niu Niu raised her head and asked.

"Delicious!" Xia Chuntao nodded.

"Does it taste better than meat?"

"The vermicelli and meat are stewed together, and the flavor is amazing."

The mother and daughter swallowed at the same time, "When the time comes, Mom will make you pork stewed vermicelli, pickled cabbage vermicelli, meat, and many other good things made with vermicelli."

When the mother and daughter were thinking about the vermicelli feast...

Alai ran in like a wind, "Mom, it's not good! Ga Zi is about to be beaten to death by his father, go and save him!"

Xia Chuntao didn't care about anything else and asked Niu Niu to stay at home. She took the fire pliers and went straight to the edge of Daxi Mountain with Alai.

Along the way, Alai told Xia Chuntao the general situation.

Today, Alai went to dig wild vegetables on the edge of Daxi Mountain and met Zhou Gazi. The two were digging vigorously when Zhou Gazi's father came over. Without saying a word, Zhou Dafu grabbed Zhou Gazi's head and hit it against the tree, cursing him while hitting him. Alai was frightened and hurried back to find Xia Chuntao.

When Xia Chuntao arrived, she saw Zhou Gazi already lying on the ground, his face covered in blood.

Chow Tai Fook was still kicking Ga Zi: "You little bastard who eats the inside and outside, the son of a bitch!"

Xia Chuntao is so angry! He took the poker and hit Chow Tai Fook on the back hard.

What kind of grudge or grudge could beat such a little kid to half-death?

Chow Tai Fook was unprepared and was knocked to the ground instantly. When he looked up, he saw it was Xia Chuntao. Old and new hatreds came to his heart, "You bitch, are you tired of living? Okay, today I will let you know how powerful you are!"

Zhou Dafu stood up and kicked Xia Chuntao. Xia Chuntao dodged.

"Smelly bitch, you still dare to hide? Let me see if I don't beat you to death!"

Zhou Dafu rushed towards Xia Chuntao and slapped Xia Chuntao on the face. Xia Chuntao took advantage of the situation and stabbed him in the abdomen with pliers, causing Chow Taifu to scream in pain.

"You didn't like being stabbed that day, didn't you? How many more times can I give you?"

"You bitch, I'm going to kill you today!"

Zhou Dafu suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Xia Chuntao in the heart!

"Mom, be careful!"

"Aunt--"

Both children exclaimed at the same time.

It was too late to dodge, Xia Chuntao lowered her waist and stabbed the air with her dagger. Before Chow Tai Fook could react, he kicked Chow Tai Fook to the ground with a side kick.

The two children were stunned.

Alai: My mother actually knows martial arts?

Gazi: Auntie is so awesome!

Chow Dafu, who was kicked down, turned over as if his eyes were red, and then stabbed Xia Chuntao with a dagger, "Kill you! Kill you! You bitches, you all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"

When Xia Chuntao heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.

In terms of physical strength, Xia Chuntao is definitely not comparable to Chow Tai Fook, so he should make a decisive decision and fight quickly.

So, when Chow Tai Fook rushed over again, his lower body was hit hard by the fire pliers again. The severe pain caused him to faint on the spot.

"Gazi, how are you?"

Zhou Gazi looked at Xia Chuntao blankly for a while, then shook his head, "I...it's okay, my dad...beats me like this every time he's drunk. I'm...used to it. Auntie, you guys Let’s go quickly, when my father wakes up and sees you, he won’t be able to run away!”

While looking for tough vines in the grass, Xia Chuntao said to Zhou Gazi: "Only those who can't be beaten will run away, but I won't. Don't worry, he can't hurt me."

"Well, this one fits."

Xia Chuntao pulled a thick and long vine and tied Chow Dafu with five flowers.

While tying him up, he asked Zhou Gazi: "Do you mind if I tie up your father?"

Zhou Gazi stared blankly and shook his head blankly.

"Alai, go back and call brothers Dongsheng and Chunsheng."

Alai obediently ran to call someone.

Xia Chuntao thought of Zhou Dafu's fierce eyes just now, as if he really wanted to kill her. According to legend, she only had an argument with this person once, but did he hate her to this extent?

Moreover, he just said: "You bitches deserve to die."

"you"? Who else but yourself?

Xia Chuntao suddenly remembered that Li Yue'e seemed to have told him that Gazi Niang left one day and never came back.

Could Chow Tai Fook be talking about Gazi Niang?
