As soon as she heard the word "sugar", Chen Mo and Jin Feng ran over happily.
Only Yun Ruo was left alone and thought, it's just candy, she often eats it in the city.
Toffees, fruit candies, peanut candies, whatever you want to eat are available. Of course, I have eaten maltose before, so I don’t know what’s so special about it.
Then he saw that Lu Qingyang had washed the hydroponic wheat and asked Shen Mo to cut some.
"Chop the wheat into small pieces, including the roots. Chop it as small as you can!"
Then he looked at Jin Feng on the side and said, "If you have time, Xiao Jin Feng, wash these sweet potatoes and make them cleaner."
"Hey, okay, Brother Qingyang!"
Everyone has work to do, just like Yunruo standing there, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Just wash the sweet potatoes with Jinfeng."
Yun Ruo looked at Shen Mo curiously and found that she was cutting things very quickly and tirelessly.
I smelled a fragrance again, and it seemed that something was simmering in the pot.
Yun Ruo had never had the job of washing sweet potatoes. When she was born, she was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital. Her conditions were better than most people and she grew up in a honey pot.
She found that although the girls here were young, they were all very capable.
Even Jinfeng was quite skillful at washing and cutting sweet potatoes.
"Why bother? You can buy it outside."
Jin Feng explained: "You need to buy it outside, and it's so expensive. The ones you make yourself are delicious and cheap."
Lu Qingyang didn't do it for these reasons, but simply because his wife wanted to eat it, he didn't mind the trouble of making it.
The next step is to start making the malt mash. Put the chopped malt into the pot and then add the chopped sweet potato pieces.
While boiling and stirring, the hands keep moving.
Lu Qingyang kept stirring and asked Shen Mo to light the fire. When the soup was almost cooked, he threw a few whole sweet potatoes with skins into the stove.
"Bake it for a while and eat it soon."
The kitchen was already filled with a sweet smell, and Shen Mo would poke her head out from time to time.
When it was still hot, I wanted to use chopsticks to pick up some to taste.
But these are too sticky and can't be picked up at all, so only a little bit can be taken out.
Just a little bit of it made her squint her eyes: "So sweet."
When it becomes very thick, it is almost done. Put it in a bowl and wait for it to solidify a little, then you can cut it into pieces.
"Don't tell me, the candy made by Lu Qingyang tastes better than the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative!"
"There's no special secret recipe this time, it just took some effort."
Yun Ruo tasted a piece of sweet potato malt candy and found it was indeed better and sweeter than the ones in the city. She ate several pieces in one go.
Lu Qingyang put the remaining food into a can so that he could eat it next time.
Since there were several cans, Chen Mo gave one to each of Jin Feng and Yun Ruo.
It was the first time that Yun Ruo felt such a thoughtfulness. She was holding the jar and was about to express her gratitude when Xiao Zhao came jogging over.
"Comrade Yunruo, the commander is awake. I prepared some porridge for you, but you said you couldn't drink it."
Xiao Zhao was very anxious. He was originally assigned to take care of the captain's clothing, housing and transportation. If he didn't do a good job, there would be no hope of promotion in the future.
"Grandpa doesn't like to eat?"
"You said you have no appetite."
"Wait for me to come over, I want to see what grandpa wants to eat?"
Shen Mo looked at the medicine jar and said, "The medicine is ready, let's take it with us!"
Lu Qingyang brought out an enamel cup filled with porridge, which turned out to be vegetable porridge. There was another small bowl filled with pickled radish.
"Bring these over to the captain, they're guaranteed to whet your appetite!"
Xiao Zhao was embarrassed: "Comrade Lu, I know you mean well, but I just brought it over, and the captain didn't want to drink it..."
"You must have added something extra, did you add meat?"
Xiao Zhao smiled awkwardly. Worried that the leader might not be getting enough nutrition, he indeed had someone add some meat when stewing the food.
"Captain Yun, you just want to eat something light now. If you add meat, it won't be light anymore. Listen to me. Bring this bowl of vegetable porridge over. You will definitely have an appetite."
Yun Ruo thought of Lu Qingyang's previous actions and felt that his words were credible.
놛The ordinary egg fried rice I just made is so delicious.
Xiao Zhao was afraid: "We must be careful about what the captain eats, just in case..."
Yun Ruo took the clean rice and took a bite first. It was obviously just vegetable porridge, but the taste of the vegetables was very delicious and appetizing.
I tried the pickled radish again, it was crisp and refreshing.
"Look, I'm fine after eating it. Give it to my grandfather to eat."
Since Yun Ruo had done so, Xiao Zhao naturally had no way to refute it, and went over with the medicine porridge.
Although Captain Yun's headache was gone, the food in front of him was not to his liking and he didn't want to eat it at all.
Yun Ruo held the porridge that Lu Qingyang had cooked and persuaded him, "Grandpa, try this porridge. There is no meat in it, just some wild vegetables."
"Wild vegetables? Okay, let's eat this."
Captain Yun took a bite, was stunned for a moment, and then continued to eat a few more bites, adding some dried radish, and finished all the porridge in the enamel cup.
"Well, it's quite good. This porridge suits my appetite. The wild vegetables in it remind me of the time when I was fighting. At that time, there was nothing to eat. All the wild vegetables were dug up. A meal of vegetable porridge like this is like a thin soup, with only a few grains of rice."
놛 wiped his mouth with a handkerchief뀧 and asked, "Who did this?"
"It's Lu Qingyang, Grandpa."
"You can also cook? This little one is really not very good at it, what a pity..."
It's a pity that I can no longer become your granddaughter's son-in-law, but considering that he is your granddaughter's lifesaver, I must repay him.
After a while, Yun Ruo asked Captain Yun to drink the medicine again.
Captain Yun drank it in one breath and couldn't help frowning: "It's really bitter."
By the evening, the commune and the entire area had sent people over to fish out the things in the lake, and some even got up to supervise the progress.
He found that Lu Qingyang was already guarding the door: "Captain Yun, I just saw a lot of people go to the mountain. If you want to find something, I can help you identify the location, but...will you promise me one thing?"
"Tell me what you want. If it's not too much, I can promise you."
"Well, there are a lot of otters in the lake. If you can, try not to hurt them and don't destroy their nests."
Captain Yun felt very strange when he heard this request: "Speaking of which, Xiao Lu, you are really a strange person. You actually want to think about animals."
Lu Qingyang sighed inwardly. It was because of the excessive deforestation in this era that many rare animals became extinct.
While satisfying food and clothing, I also hope that the forest farm can develop sustainably.
