Lady Lingquan lifts a thousand pounds

Lin Sanchuan and Lin Sihai gathered around the well, washed out a large pot of sweet potatoes, and put them in a large basket to control the water.

Then he took out the stone grinders at home and kept them for use.

Liu Siniang was unpacking a cotton-padded jacket and quilt, planning to take out the rotten and unusable cotton and replace it with new ones. When she saw the three of them busy, she just laughed.

They are very tolerant of children. As long as there is no danger and no waste of things, the children will usually be allowed to do it.

The children are all sensible and will not waste things carelessly.

Lin Xiangxiang and his brothers scraped off the red skin of the sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces, and ground them into pulp in a stone mill.

It took almost an hour just to grind the pulp. After everything was ground, it was washed and filtered. After washing three times in a row, all the washed water was put into the largest wooden basin and waited for precipitation.

This process took a long time, so they put a basket on top of the big pot to cover it.

At noon, Lin Pingan and his three sons came back carrying a lot of firewood.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and they have to collect as much firewood as possible before it snows, so that they will not freeze in the winter.

Liu Siniang was cooking, so he went in to light the fire, saying that he had paid back the money he owed and planned to find work.

You can't just sit idle at home. You have to save some money to repair the house at home.

The children at home are getting older and older, so it’s okay for five children to be crowded together, but Guaiguai is getting older and older, and we can’t always be squeezed together with the two of them.

Speaking of this, Lin Xiangxiang ran over and said, "Dad, Mom, I want a small bed to sleep on by myself."

She didn't want to sleep in the same bed with them anymore, it would be too embarrassing.

If you have a small bed of your own, at least you can hide away.

Liu Siniang was not at ease: "You are still young, and the weather is getting colder. What if you kick the quilt?"

Lin Xiangxiang quickly shook his head: "No, I will take care of myself and I will definitely not kick the quilt."

She took Liu Siniang's arm and shook it, begging her to agree.

Before Liu Siniang could say anything, Lin Ping'an couldn't stand the sadness of his little daughter, so he took the lead and agreed to help her make a small bed.

There is still some wood at home, so he can also do carpentry work and can finish it quickly.

In addition to preparing the bed, you also need to prepare the mattress. It cannot be prepared all at once.

After lunch, the family got busy again.

Lin Yiyue and Lin Erfeng didn't go out either, so they helped her at home.

"Come on, dear, let me play with you." Lin Erfeng took a gourd and ladle and squatted by the basin, asking her what to do.

Lin Xiangxiang pouted and glared at him: "This is not for fun."

Lin Erfeng smiled and said: "Okay, okay, this is not for fun, what do you think we should do now?"

Lin Xiangxiang asked them to scoop out all the water that settled in the big basin and put it in another basin, leaving only the powder below.

Then put a coarse mesh cloth in a large basket, and put all the starch on the mesh cloth to dry.

She took part of it, found a basin, put cold water in it first, then added hot water, and kneaded it into dough.

At this time, Lin Yiyue brought a bamboo tube over: "My dear, what do you want? Do you think this is okay?"

Lin Xiangxiang asked him to make a bamboo tube, cut off the top, dug out the bottom as thick as the head of a chopstick, and then made a pushable wooden piece with a handle on the top.

"Brother, this is fine."

At this time, Liu Siniang also came over out of curiosity. Seeing that they were busy and looking good, she couldn't help but help.

"Come on, mother, come and rub me."

After all, she has experience in cooking, and she can knead it quickly and well without getting her hands dirty.

Lin Xiangxiang said: "Third brother, go boil the water quickly. It will be used later."

Lin Sanchuan hurriedly went to boil water and looked over here.

Looking at what my sister is making, it seems like she can actually make noodles, which would be great.

After a while, the water boiled and he shouted here.

When the dough was almost kneaded, Liu Siniang said, "Mom, go get a rolling pin and roll it into noodles for you."

The dough was too soft and she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to roll it out.

But Lin Xiangxiang quickly stopped her: "Mom, put the dough in this bamboo tube, press it into strips, squeeze it into the pot, and cook it directly."

Liu Siniang was very confused: "Is this possible?"

Lin Xiangxiang pushed her: "Mom, this is different from white noodles. It will definitely not be rolled into noodles. Just try it first as I said."

Liu Siniang couldn't resist her, so she had no choice but to listen to her words. She took the dough and bamboo tube to the big pot. While squeezing the bamboo tube, she watched the sweet potato dough turn into strips and fall into the pot.

"Mom, don't stop, keep pushing."

"well."

Seeing that those sweet potato noodles were really similar to noodles, long and chubby, she felt that this method was feasible.

Several children were also watching around the pot, waiting for the sweet potato noodles to be made.

When Lin Ping'an came back and saw his family members gathered around, he couldn't help but come over to take a look. When he saw what was in the pot, he was immediately surprised: "This is noodles? Are you going to eat noodles today?"

Eating noodles is a luxury, and he was a little greedy.

Liu Siniang smiled and said: "My father, can you tell? This is made of sweet potatoes."

"Made from sweet potatoes? How is that possible?"

Lin Xiangxiang had asked him to take out the cooked food, put it in cold water and dry it in the sun.

When he fished it out, Lin Ping'an couldn't help but taste one first.

He chewed it, swallowed it, and suddenly felt very comfortable.

"This sweet potato noodles tastes very chewy, really good."

After saying that, he put the basin down and took the bamboo tube himself: "Siniang, you and the children have a taste first, and I'll do it."

Liu Siniang was also a little tired, so she gave him the bamboo tube and taught him how to use force.

After he learns it, he can eat it himself.

She took a bite and let the children eat.

The whole family gathered around the pot, and each of them tasted one or two sticks, and everyone was satisfied with the food.

These sweet potato vermicelli are really delicious and elastic, and you don’t feel the heartburn of eating sweet potatoes.

If sweet potatoes could be cooked like this and eaten, they wouldn't have to worry about heartburn.

The brothers looked at the youngest sister with bright eyes: "My dear, you are so awesome. How did you come up with the idea of ​​making sweet potato noodles?"

Lin Xiangxiang smiled and said: "I was very hungry. I had eaten enough sweet potatoes every day, so I spent the whole day thinking about how to make noodles into sweet potatoes. I thought that white flour could be used to make noodles, and sweet potatoes would also work. After thinking about it for a long time, I figured it out."

Lin Ping'an had no doubt at all. He felt that his daughter was smart and could come up with such good ideas.

Liu Siniang looked a little worried when she saw the sweet potato noodles being cooked.

"We can't finish it if we make so much, will it go bad?"

Lin Xiangxiang said: "No, if we dry it in the sun, it can be stored for a long time like dried sweet potatoes. If you want to eat it in the future, you can just boil it."

Liu Siniang and his wife thought about it and they were right. Dried sweet potatoes can be stored for a long time, and noodles made from sweet potatoes can also be stored for a long time.

They looked at the dried starch and decided to make it into vermicelli.

Lin Xiangxiang had already washed the seasonings and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, let's make more delicious sweet potato noodles?"

Making vermicelli is just the first step, her main purpose is to make hot and sour vermicelli.
