Zhang Shuqin washed the corn stalks clean, and she and Pei Xiaohong made a curtain in a short while. Then they trimmed them with a kitchen knife, and a rectangular curtain was ready.
A large bundle of corn stalks was used to make eight curtains. Then Gu Qingmeng started to learn how to make cold dishes. Most of the dishes needed to be blanched, but the time required was different.
Cowpeas, kidney beans, peppers, and cucumbers are dried directly in the sun, while eggplants and potatoes need to be steamed before they can be dried. The steaming time cannot be too long?
Aunt Shuqin didn't have a watch, so she couldn't tell the exact steaming time. She relied on experience, which was very confusing. Gu Qingmeng could only use her watch to calculate the time and take notes. She had to sigh at the wisdom of the working people.
The steaming and cooking time for each vegetable was specified to the minute, and the four of them dried all the vegetables in the yard in one afternoon.
Gu Qingmeng also figured out every hidden corner of the new home. There was a cellar in the front and back yards, both used to store vegetables in the winter.
She also found winter melon and pumpkin in the yard. Gu Qingmeng's favorite was roasted pumpkin with garlic. She used to eat baby pumpkin. She had never eaten the red pumpkin in the yard, so she wanted to try it.
It is unrealistic to have an oven in this environment, so I can only build a bread oven. For the sake of food, Gu Qingmeng feels that she can be an all-round talent.
"Xuebao, let's build a bread kiln in the yard!" Gu Qingmeng took out a notebook and began to draw the blueprint of the bread kiln.
"Okay! We can grill the lamb chops."
Su Xue recalled the bread kiln she had seen in the short video. The two of them studied it for nearly half an hour before the drawings of the improved bread kiln were completed. After giving it to Pei Xinghe, they both looked at him expectantly.
"What are you going to build this for? You can build it, the materials are readily available."
Pei Xinghe also graduated from high school. Looking at the drawings, he only guessed that this was an insulation furnace. As for what temperature it could reach, he was not sure. It depended on the situation at the time.
