The sweetness of honey can completely cover up the bitterness of buckwheat.
The little princess can accept both buckwheat cakes and buckwheat rice.
The potatoes cooked with firewood were pitch black. Xiao Ran kept turning them over with tongs, otherwise one side would be burnt and the other side would not be cooked.
"Brother, old potatoes are also delicious. Why don't you eat old potatoes?" Princess Gaoyang handed Xiao Ran a piece of cake.
"Hmm, hmm~ So sweet~ So good~" The little princess also likes old potatoes, mainly because they are sweet.
"It's easier to peel the skin when boiling, but there won't be much left after peeling it if you roast it." Xiao Ran explained.
Princess Yuzhang stared at the fire ring on the stove. It was a net made of steel bars as thick as chopsticks, used to roast potatoes.
Many people nearby like to roast potatoes, and almost every household in the village has a fire ring. It is inconvenient to roast potatoes without a fire ring.
But the potatoes were black, and Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang and the others felt they had no way of eating them. They were as black as charcoal.
"Little Bag~ this one is so black~" The little princess pointed and began to doubt whether she could eat it.
"It won't be dark in a moment." Xiao Ran smiled.
Li Lizhi and the others didn't eat much because the honey was too greasy.
"Just sift it with a winnowing basket." The grandfather next to him also said.
dustpan?
screen?
The princesses did not understand this sentence. They did not know what a winnowing basket was and how to sift.
"What the hell is that~"
Xiao Ran pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "That's the one made of bamboo."
This is an important tool for farming, and every household must have one, and there may be several people in a family.
It is used frequently during the sowing and harvesting seasons, and it would be very troublesome without this tool.
Princess Gaoyang stood up and picked it up. "How strange! This is for storing things."
"There are more potatoes here, Seventeen, take them! The potatoes are almost cooked."
"Okay!" Princess Gaoyang placed the winnowing basket next to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran put all the potatoes on the fire ring into the winnowing basket.
Several princesses stared at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran went out with a winnowing basket, and Princess Gaoyang and two little princesses followed closely behind him, wanting to see what Xiao Ran would do.
Xiao Ran walked to a place not far from the door, picked up the dustpan and started shaking it, shaking it back and forth quickly.
The black ash on the black potatoes slowly fell off.
It was very dark before, but now I can see that some parts are golden yellow, while some parts are still black.
Now it looks like we can at least do it.
"Wow~ Mr. Little Bag is so cute~" The little princess didn't expect it to be like this.
"Well, we'll be eating potatoes soon."
Xiao Ran returned to the house with the potatoes. Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were also a little surprised.
"This is a good idea. It looks very appetizing." Princess Yuzhang said.
Xiao Ran took out last year's corn cob and roasted it lightly over the fire. This one was sturdier.
"If you don't like eating the skin, just peel it. If you like eating the golden potato skin, just scrape it with this corn cob. It's all golden yellow and tastes different."
Hearing Xiao Ran say this, several princesses were eager to try.
"Grandma, Grandpa, you can't eat this potato, what are you going to eat?"
The two old people couldn't eat the roasted potatoes because they were too hard.
"Let's have some fried rice later. You're not hungry now!" Grandma looked at the little princess and said, "Mingda, let me shave it for you."
"Hmmmm~" The little princess picked up the potatoes and corn cobs and handed them to her grandmother, "I want this~"
There were no black spots on the hair Xiao Ran shaved, it was all golden yellow, the kind that made the kids next door cry with envy.
Xiao Ran enjoyed the process very much. It looked no worse than those sold in the city and was just as tempting.
"Brother, this is good. It looks delicious." Princess Gaoyang smiled.
"Give it to my second sister first, Seventeen, you wait." Xiao Ran gave the shaved hair to Princess Chengyang.
"Hehe! Okay!" Princess Chengyang took the potato.
The little princess swallowed and felt a little hungry.
"Sizi, you eat first." Princess Chengyang gave the little princess a bite first.
"This is good~"
"Xiaoran, there is hot sauce and five-spice chili powder." Grandma pointed to the cabinet.
There is no refrigerator at home, so the food is kept in the cupboard, including the dishes and chopsticks.
The perfect pairing for potatoes is naturally hot sauce and five-spice chili powder.
The chili pepper is ground from fresh red pepper, and it also contains seasonings such as garlic, peppercorns, and ginger, and it tastes good.
The five-spice sauce becomes more fragrant with time, as if it was tailor-made for potatoes and roasted tofu.
Xiao Ran brought two bowls and said, "This chili is not too spicy, but quite fragrant. You can try it."
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also scraped their potatoes and dipped them lightly.
"This chili sauce is delicious." Princess Yuzhang pointed.
The two little princesses must try it too.
The princesses who didn't eat much chili found that they couldn't stop eating it.
It's a bit spicy, but really fragrant.
A little bit high.
"Sizi, your mouth is black." Princess Gaoyang pointed.
Only then did I realize that everyone else was similar.
"It's okay, that's how you eat roasted potatoes. Just wash them after eating." Xiao Ran handed the scraped potatoes to Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi did not refuse and took the potatoes given by Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran got up and prepared lunch for his grandparents.
The potatoes were eaten by Xiao Ran and his friends. Xiao Ran didn't know whether the princesses could get used to eating them, but now he saw that they were used to eating them.
The little princess ate two potatoes.
"Brother, I feel that these potatoes are more delicious than the ones I had in the ancient city. Is it my illusion, or is it because they were cooked in hot pot there?" Princess Yuzhang also helped with cooking.
"It's probably the variety. There are actually many varieties of potatoes. The most obvious ones are the ones with white cores. The difference is very obvious. The white core ones are larger, but the taste is much worse, very bland and not tasty. We usually eat the ones with yellow cores. The red ones are rarer, and there are also the black ones, which are purple. Those are rare. There are also many varieties of yellow cores. Some have high yields, and some just taste good. If you keep them for eating, they will definitely taste good..."
Princess Yuzhang suddenly realized, and Li Lizhi also heard it and silently kept what Xiao Ran said in her heart.
Li Lizhi had never thought about this problem before and thought it was the same.
I didn't expect there was such a saying.
Fried rice and buckwheat rice are also a local specialty, and the taste is different when fried.
After eating the potatoes, the little princess said she wanted to try more.
There are many kinds of local fried rice, which is a bit greasy, so red bean sour soup is essential to relieve the greasiness.
Seeing Princess Gaoyang and two little maids eating, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also wanted to eat, but they were a little old and it was not suitable for them.
Not quite the same as the little princess.
Before they knew it, two days had passed, but the princesses showed no intention of leaving.
I really like the atmosphere here, and the food is different from before.
Sitting at the door, it was just right, neither too cold nor too hot, with a gentle breeze blowing, it was very comfortable.
"Ah!!!" Princess Gaoyang screamed and ran.
Xiao Ran stood up suddenly and watched Princess Gao Yang running desperately, with a big white creature chasing her with its neck stretched out.
