Chapter 453 Sad jelly and Hu Xiaochan(1/2)
When Lin Fang left the "Zhihua Building", he had an extra cloth package in his hand.
The package is not big, and it is a little bigger than volleyball when you are together.
If you shake hard, you can still hear the jingle inside.
Inside are dozens of fresh oceans that Sister Hua gave to Lin, and a set of changing clothes.
Even though Sister Hua didn't say it clearly, Lin Fang had already understood what she meant.
"Centrifugal tea" is beneficial or harmless to the body. However, if you brew it too strongly, the symptoms of extremes will appear. From tonics that concentrate the mind and wake up the brain, it has become a sleeping pill that promotes sleep.
Coupled with Sister Hua's move to send money, Lin Fang knew that he should leave.
Lin Fang wrapped the cloth around his shoulders and wandered aimlessly on the street.
Unconsciously turning into an alley, he felt that the scene in front of him became more and more familiar, and a small figure rushed straight into his arms.
Lin Fang copied it with one hand and brought his small body into his arms and was about to push it away.
"Mr. Lin?"
"Hu Xiaochan?"
"It's really you!"
"It's me." Lin Fang laughed dryly, pushed half of his hand and took it back, holding the little girl to let her stand firm, "You're so panicked, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that my mother-in-law wants to eat jelly. I want to buy one for her!"
"Where can I buy jelly if I want to eat it? I'll make one."
"You can make jelly?"
"Simple. Do you have mung beans at home?"
"However, is there any, but is jelly made of mung beans?"
"Mung beans, lentils, peas, rice, and potatoes can be used as jelly as long as they are ground into powder. The ingredients are different and the taste is different. The mung bean jelly has a cool taste and it tastes more comfortable in this weather."
"Yeah! Then make mung bean jelly!" Hu Xiaochan pulled Lin Fang back, "Mr. Lin, I'll trouble you!"
"No trouble." Lin Fang smiled embarrassedly, "If it weren't for me, you could continue to sell cigarettes to subsidize your household income. It would be nothing to do with helping you."
"Mr. Lin, I can't say that." Hu Xiaochan comforted Lin Fang instead, "I couldn't have sold it there for too long. There are gangs collecting protection fees in these prosperous places. I originally thought that I would not go after selling the cigarettes, because it was nothing to interrupt the accident. I just thought it was like closing the family early."
Lin Fang turned his head and looked at Hu Xiaochan, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Although this girl is very cute, she doesn't look like Hu Qingchan. However, two of the three words in her name are the same as hers, which will inevitably remind Lin Fang of her in the Earth Era.
Hu Xiaochan is so open-minded at such a young age. I really don’t know if it’s luck or misfortune.
Lin Fang felt that after just a little thought, Hu Xiaochan led him into a small courtyard.
It was already six or seven o'clock in the evening, the night was drooping and the lights were just on.
Just by the lantern in the yard, Lin Fang glanced at the layout of the yard.
The yard is not big, only once you enter, the side houses on both sides have only one floor, but the main house has two floors of small buildings.
An old lady was sitting in the yard.
She was wearing a slightly old plain cheongsam, which was probably modified, with a very low slit, which looked like her ankle was exposed.
The old lady was wearing a pair of glasses and was sitting on a bamboo chair, reading the newspaper with a horse lantern hanging from the pillar behind her.
Seeing Hu Xiaochan bringing a Mo Shengnian man into the door, the old lady's face darkened and she stood up, "Xiaochan, what is your relationship with this man?"
"Mother-in-law!" Hu Xiaochan was so amused and crying, "What's the relationship? Mr. Lin is a friend I know!"
"Haha...friend?" The old lady sneered, and the newspaper was so angry that she fell to the ground. "How old are you? How old are he? Tell me, how can I become a friend? Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen! The girl is big and her wings are hard, I can't control you anymore! You ask him to get out of here. Before the matchmaker proposes marriage, you are not allowed to stool our door!"
"Oh, mother-in-law!" Hu Xiaochan blushed with a little face, "You really misunderstood! Mr. Lin is really my friend. The last time I went out to sell cigarettes, I was bullied. It was Mr. Lin who helped me solve the problem! We have only met for the third time, so why are you talking about it?"
"Uh..." The old lady looked a little embarrassed, "Why... Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. Our Xiaochan is still young and has a bad personality. She rarely brings friends to her house. Suddenly, she brings you a man like this, and I thought she has a body..."
Halfway through, the old lady's face became more and more embarrassed.
Hu Xiaochan's face turned even red and was about to drip.
Lin Fang pretended not to see the embarrassment of the two old and young people, and asked with a smile: "I'm here to help. By the way, Xiaochan, where is your kitchen?"
"Here, Mr. Lin, come with me!" Hu Xiaochan pointed, led Lin to let him go a few steps, and ran back, "Mother-in-law, I will take Mr. Lin to the kitchen first, and come back later to explain to you what's going on!"
"Go! Go!" The old lady waved her hands repeatedly, "You are old and you have bad brains. You always do bad things with kindness."
"Mother-in-law, you are not old, you are so happy!"
"Go! Go! Stop coaxing me, hurry up and greet the guests!"
Hu Xiaochan took Lin into the kitchen and wanted to help him, but Lin Fang drove him out.
She couldn't even tell the difference between salt and sugar, and she would only help the more she helped.
The kitchen is very clean and obviously it is very clean.
Not only the kitchen, but the entire courtyard is very clean.
It can be seen that this is all due to the old lady, and she is not idle at ordinary times.
I don’t know if the old lady has obsessive-compulsive disorder. All the things in the kitchen are neatly regulated.
It was convenient for Lin Fang, and he found mung beans without much effort.
First, rinse the mung beans slightly to dry, then pour the mung beans into the small stone mill placed in the kitchen, and soon Lin Fang got a small pot of mung bean powder.
In this era, small stone mills seem to be a must-have kitchen utensil for every household. Without it, grinding powder would be a bit troublesome.
Combine mung bean powder and cold water thoroughly, then boil water with the pot. After the water boils, pour the mung bean water into the pot and stir continuously. Pump the firewood to reduce the heat, and continue to boil for about five minutes. When the resistance in the pot becomes greater, slowly transparent, and close the stove and turn off the heat.
Lin Fang poured the cooked mung bean jelly into a large oil-painted basin to cool, and then prepared to grind the powder with small stones again.
But this time, he plans to make mung bean starch.
The mung beans that make mung bean starch need to be soaked. When soaking, using Tai Chi to copy water can speed up this process.
Not long after, Lin Fang got a bowl of soaked mung beans.
He added water to the bowl of mung beans, filtered them with a sieve, and poured the mung bean milk into clean water to precipitate.
After repeated several times, boiling the water and getting a bowl of mung bean starch.
Lin Fang used this bowl of mung bean starch to make a pot of jelly.
However, the first pot of mung bean jelly is green, while this pot of mung bean jelly is crystal clear and translucent.
Next, just need to season and you can eat a bowl of spicy and sour mung bean jelly.
Before mixing jelly, there is a necessary step called: scraping jelly.
The whole piece of jelly made by Lin Fang is placed in a large pot, so the jelly is in a pot shape.
Scraping jelly requires a special short scraper, which looks like a colander, and is full of small holes as thick as fingers.
What surprised Lin Fang was that there were even tools in the kitchen that were just a side door, which saved him the trouble of punching other people's spoons and destroying kitchen utensils.
Lin Fang took four small bowls, two types of mung bean jelly, and placed them in four small bowls.
After mixing the flavor, Lin Fang placed four small bowls and two pairs of chopsticks on a tray and brought them into the yard.
"Mother-in-law, that's the thing. Mr. Lin and I are really just ordinary friends. Don't think about it!"
"Okay, okay! I don't think too much! Isn't this the mother-in-law misunderstanding that you are growing up and before, you can get married? That is, the times have changed now, and you little girls all want to get married later when they go to school!"
When Lin was put into the yard, his grandparents and grandchildren were still chatting, but he had approached and they had not noticed it.
"Cough!" Lin Fang had no choice but to cough and remind him, "Mother-in-law, Xiaochan, try to see if it suits your appetite. I make the green mung bean jelly slightly spicy, and the white mung bean jelly I make the white mung bean jelly very spicy. This jelly is a special snack in Sichuan cuisine, called sad jelly. These two bowls are from mother-in-law, and these two bowls are from Xiaochan. "
"How spicy can it be? I want to eat spicy!" Hu Xiaochan didn't believe in evil, so he picked up a bowl of sad jelly and started eating, "Not spicy... Hey, Mr. Lin, you have a good craftsmanship! It's quite delicious!"
Suck... Suck...
When the old lady saw Hu Xiaochan's behavior without any politeness, she smiled helplessly, "Mr. Lin, you're laughing. Xiaochan's parents have been abroad for many years, and she has grown up by my side. I neglected to take care of her and I don't know how to be polite. Don't be surprised."
"Where, where..." Lin Fang brought the tray to the old lady, "Mother-in-law, Xiaochan and I are friends, so there is no need to be so distant. Let's try my skills!"
"Okay, I'll try it!" The old lady took the green mung bean jelly, gently picked up a chopstick, and tasted it in small mouthfuls.
The old lady sits impeccably, and her eating moves are elegant and dignified, and her every move is well educated.
It can be seen that the old man is from a big family and is well-educated.
On the other hand, Hu Xiaochan was busy in the kitchen before, and she was squatting in front of the old lady and chatting with the old man, which was reasonable.
Now that Lin Fang has arrived at the yard, she is still holding a bowl of sad jelly, and she is still squatting in front of the old lady and eating and drinking.
Lin Fang looked at the old one and then the younger one, and couldn't help laughing.
Whether it is green mung bean jelly or translucent mung bean jelly, through Lin Fang's wonderful hands, they have become supreme delicacies.
Not to mention that mung bean powder is made by fine grinding Lin Fang, which has a smooth and cool taste.
When talking about his seasoning techniques, he is well aware of the mystery of appropriate addition and subtraction depending on the person.
When Hu Xiaochan took the first bite, she was just slightly spicy and smooth. When she took the second bite, she was sour and sour and appetizing.
