Chapter 66 Uncle
Mu Xi put the sweet potato vines into the storage cellar, and when he came back and saw her appearance, he couldn't help laughing.
"So happy?"
Zhao Yeqing smiled, "Of course, this is my first time planting something, it's just amazing."
"It's so good, why don't you bake one and try it?"
Zhao Yeqing was also a little itchy, but he still wanted to work.
"You go and bake first, and I'll collect them. When you're done, I'll take over."
Zhao Yeqing didn't fall for it. He had sent her away like this before, and when she came back, the cellar had been dug.
"Collect it first, and we'll go together later."
She harvested sweet potatoes and Mu Xi harvested potatoes.
When she was harvesting, she took a look and found that the potatoes were not very big. The big ones were the size of the palm, and the small ones were only as big as a small kiwi fruit.
There are six or seven fruits under one tree, weighing about two kilograms.
She planted a lot of potatoes, about sixty or seventy plants, and harvested more than 100 kilograms.
She now has some Versailles distress.
There’s too much to eat. I can’t finish it at all.
The two of them dug together until the moon rose above their heads, and finally they dug out all the trash.
Zhao Yeqing was worried about the sweet potatoes and potatoes all over the ground.
How to save this?
Mu Xi thought about it and said, "Sweet potatoes can be made into sweet potato flour, and potatoes can be made into potato flour. Both can also be made into starch. After consuming some of them, the rest can be stored in the cellar for half a year."
Zhao Yeqing was puzzled. "The one I put in before didn't work after one month. How come it lasted for half a year?"
"I was on a business trip before and saw a farmer selling sweet potatoes. He put the sweet potatoes in a cellar, covered them with plastic sheets, then covered them with soil and finally covered them with a layer of straw. They can be preserved for half a year. The sweet potatoes harvested in summer can be sold in winter and the price can double."
Mu Xi also had some concerns. "But the weather is changeable now, so I check it often. If I find something wrong, I will take it out and make it into starch, which will be easier to preserve."
Zhao Yeqing had no objection, and the two of them began to carry the goods to the storage cellar in backpacks.
In the past, the temperature in the mountains was low, and straw would be laid on the sweet potatoes in the cellar to keep them warm. Now that the weather is hot, it doesn’t matter if there is no straw.
Arrange the sweet potatoes and potatoes neatly, cover them with plastic wrap, and spread soil on top.
By this point, she was almost out of plastic wrap.
But seeing the good harvest, she no longer felt sad.
After covering the storage cellar, I no longer had the appetite to roast sweet potatoes when I got home.
She held her eyelids open to finish her shower. When she came down, Mu Xi hadn't taken a shower yet and was still doing something in the kitchen.
She was dazed, "Aren't you going to take a shower?"
Mu Xi knocked her on the head and said, "Wake up, don't fall down in the cellar. I'll make something to eat tomorrow morning, you go first."
Zhao Yeqing was not very sober after being hit, and his mind did not quite wrap around what he said. He just nodded, grabbed Huhu and Xuebing, and let the two lie on his back and crawl down the cellar first.
She didn't even take the ice basin to cool down, she just lay down on the bed and fell asleep the next second.
-
It was a rare sleep when she woke up naturally. She touched her cell phone on the bedside table but couldn't find it. Then she remembered that it was not in the room but in the cellar.
The fan was not on, but she could hear the sound of even breathing next to her.
The slight breathing sound seemed to be right next to my ear in the small and quiet space of the cellar.
She went to bed early last night and didn't feel anything wrong. When she woke up in the morning, she found a man still sleeping next to her.
The experience was very subtle.
She pursed her lips and slowly moved towards the end of the bed inch by inch.
He tiptoed up to the ground like a thief and breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing her morning work as usual, she remembered that Mu Xi said last night that he had prepared something for breakfast this morning, so she didn't prepare breakfast.
There was only one box of milk left at home and it was finished. Huhu and Xuebing have big appetites now, so this box of milk is not enough for them to drink for a week.
Zhao Yeqing wondered if he should switch their diet to a pure meat one.
The cellar door was pushed open, and Huhu and Xuebing were carried out first. Then Mu Xi was seen wearing a vest, supporting himself with his arms and jumping out of the cellar entrance.
Zhao Yeqing turned his eyes away, thinking about the breathing sound just now, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Xi went straight to wash up. When he walked into the living room, there were still a few drops of water hanging on his hairline.
She found that his hair seemed to have grown a lot longer. Originally it was just slightly longer than a flat head, but now it hung down and covered half of his forehead.
The whole person has become much softer.
Mu Xi wiped his face with a piece of paper and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go make breakfast first, it'll be quick."
When she woke up in the morning, she saw something in the kitchen basin, and the water was a little turbid.
Mu Xi poured out the yellowish water in the basin, revealing the pure white batter underneath.
He lit a pot of water, took a small metal plate, brushed it with oil, scooped a spoonful of batter onto it, and shook it evenly.
He put the bottom of the small plate in boiling water to heat it, and the thin batter in the plate solidified a little. He put a steaming rack in the pot, placed the plate on it, covered it and steamed it for one minute.
Zhao Yeqing opened the lid and looked inside. The batter inside had completely solidified and turned into a white, slightly transparent dough.
Mu Xi did the same thing and made five or six more. "Go get me a cucumber."
There were still two cucumbers picked yesterday. Zhao Yeqing climbed down to the cellar, took one and handed it to him.
The dough on the chopping board had been cut into strips and some ice was placed on top. Only now did she know what it was made of.
"Can you make cold noodles?"
Mu Xi smiled and said, "The partner of the B&B is from Shaanxi Province. He taught me."
Zhao Yeqing brought the cold noodles to the table. The ice cubes on top had been taken out before sprinkling the seasoning and placed in the honey water so that they were not wasted.
The chili oil on the cold noodles is freshly poured and is full of aroma. The cold noodles are seasoned with light soy sauce and vinegar, which is fresh, sour and refreshing with a hint of spiciness.
"Liangpi is made of flour, why is it transparent?"
Mu Xi, "I have rubbed it."
Zhao Yeqing suddenly realized that there was a time when she particularly loved eating grilled gluten from roadside stalls, so she tried to make it at home.
After adding flour and water to knead into dough, and then rub it in water, you will get light yellow gluten. She pours away the water with white sediment. It turns out that it can also be used to make cold skin.
"What about gluten?" She was a little greedy as she hadn't eaten it for a long time.
"It's in the freezer."
After she finished eating the cold noodles, she opened the freezer and took a look. There was a lump of light yellow gluten lying inside. Then she saw the wild boar meat next to it and remembered to ask Mu Xi.
"Can the rations for Huhu and Xuebing be changed to pure meat? We are running out of milk at home."
Mu Xi took the dishes into the kitchen to wash, "I'll take them out to find their own food in a bit."
Zhao Yeqing was a little skeptical. How could one be able to hunt successfully from the start? In the animal world, a mother leopard teaches her cubs how to hunt, and the edited version could last for ten minutes.
She looked at Mu Xi with a slightly critical look.
Under Mu Xi's puzzled gaze, he spoke.
"As an uncle, are you too harsh on them?"
