Chapter 138 Raising seedlings and planting sweet potatoes

 Just do it, Chen Zixuan immediately took a basin to put the flour and scooped out two and a half bowls, which was almost half a catty of flour.

This should make more than ten or twenty steamed buns.

Take a small packet of yeast and open it.

Just five grams of individually packaged food, pour it all into a bowl, add a little warm water and stir evenly.

Pour the yeast water into the flour, and then add a little well water, because the well water is relatively sweet, even if you don't add sugar, it will have a sweet taste when you chew it.

Stir and knead into a dough, keep kneading and beating hard, then cover it with a piece of cloth and raise the temperature to ferment.

While waiting for fermentation.

Chen Zixuan went out and pulled out a piece of mugwort, cleaned it, then pounded it into pieces, wrapped it in a piece of gauze, twisted it hard, and squeezed out the mugwort water.

This way it looks green.

Green generally looks healthy.

He scooped up another bowl of flour and planned to make a few moxa leaf steamed buns. He didn't make too much, so he just made a few to satisfy his craving. Chen Zixuan was worried that he could not do well.

Pour the moxa leaf water into the flour.

Continue the above actions.

I continued to put it inside to ferment. The previous dough had already fermented. When I opened the cloth, I saw that it had indeed become very fluffy.

Take it to the chopping board and shape it into a long strip.

Then Chen Zixuan picked up a knife and cut the dough into pieces. He didn't make them very big, he liked small ones.

Cut them into the same size. Take a piece of sketch paper and cut it into a square size with scissors. There are exactly fifteen steamed buns here.

Then smear the bottom of the steamed buns with peanut oil.

Place it on paper to cushion.

These just enough to fill a pot. Leave some space when placing them, otherwise they will ferment and swell and easily stick to each other. Put them in the pot to ferment. They will ferment in about fifteen minutes.

Very big.

I opened it and took a look.

Chen Zixuan steamed the pot of steamed buns again.

Burning firewood.

The other basket has also fermented, so just put it on top and steam it together. This will make it faster and you don’t have to steam it twice.

Continue to put the firewood on for steaming.

Chen Zixuan found time to reclaim a piece of land.

He plans to plant some sweet potatoes on that piece of land. Sweet potatoes are easy to grow. You just need to plant them.

Just do some weeding occasionally.

When the time comes, we will collect the sweet potatoes and make sweet potato flour.

Sweet potato starch can also be used to make vermicelli.

It just so happened that there were some sprouted sweet potatoes inside the cabin.

Just cut them out and bury them in the ground. Plant them for a week and seedlings will grow.

After a few days, cut out the seedlings and plant the sweet potato vines in the ground. They will soon take root and sprout again.

Plow the ground and loosen the soil, so that things can be planted when the time comes, otherwise it will be too strong and difficult to grow well.

After rummaging through the land, Chen Zixuan packed up his things.

I walked into the cabin and opened one. The buns were puffed up one by one, just like fat dolls. They looked chubby and cute.

First I picked up a piece and chewed it.

It is indeed very sweet and not sour.

After eating one, Chen Zixuan picked up a steamed bun, disemboweled the bun, and cut a slit.

Just enough to be opened without cutting.

I took out a jar of strawberry jam, took out a spoon, and spread a thin layer on it.

Chen Zixuan cut another tomato into thin slices.

This small tomato was from the home plot of the educated youth he picked last time. It has been kept in the space. Unexpectedly, it is still very fresh.

Cut it and sandwich it between the steamed buns.

Chen Zixuan took a big bite and was completely satisfied.

This is so delicious, sour and sweet, especially the fresh and sweet taste of tomatoes.

After eating this, Chen Zixuan ate the moxa leaves in the same way.

I found that mugwort leaves do not have the fragrance of wheat.

Instead, there is a unique fragrance of mugwort leaves, an indescribable taste, but strangely delicious.

Chen Zixuan wanted to try out the taste of mugwort leaves and strawberry jam, so he simply applied a layer of it and found that the taste was particularly strange, but it went well together.

“Delicious.”

This is like the smell of snail noodles. It smells a little unpleasant to passers-by, even a little smelly, but when eaten by people who like it, it smells very good and they love this taste very much.

Chen Zixuan thought for a moment, and this is probably what it smells like.

Mugwort goes well with making bread, and the effect is quite good.

After eating, there is a big cage.

You can also steam and heat it for breakfast tomorrow. I took two white steamed buns and one moxa leaf steamed bun, and also picked up a small jar of strawberry jam, which only weighed 50 grams.

He didn't dare to take too much, after all, he didn't have much, and he could sell it very expensively. This was precious food.

There were too many, and Li Jie was probably too embarrassed to ask for them.

He only took these. He originally wanted to take one more egg, but he was worried that Li Jie wouldn't want it either, so he just did it.

It's just past noon now, and I don't know if they have eaten yet. The educated youths don't have to work today and are resting at home.

Carrying a bag of steamed buns, he walked over.

Knocked directly on Li Jie’s door.

The friendship between them is unmatched by Xie Yang.

After all, we took the train together and came to this strange city.

This kind of friendship is still rare.

Li Jie opened the door. He was about to take a rest. He had gone to the mountain to collect firewood all morning. He was almost exhausted.

"Zixuan, why are you here?"

Li Jie is worried that after going to work in the county town, he will not have time to collect firewood. When he returns home on weekends, he must at least have firewood to burn in order to cook.

Otherwise, there will be no firewood to burn the kang, and it will be freezing even when you come back to sleep. It is better to take measures first.

Li Jie looked up and saw Chen Zixuan coming over with white steamed buns. He understood and was about to close the door, but he was stopped by Chen Zixuan.

"What are you doing? It's closed just now."

Chen Zixuan's nose was almost hit.

He has a high nose bridge, but fortunately he has quick reactions.

Looking at Chen Zixuan standing outside the door, Li Jie helplessly stared at his steamed buns. He had really eaten a lot of Chen Zixuan's food.

It made him feel embarrassed.

It would be very rude to accept it anymore.

"Zixuan, you can just come here, why are you bringing the steamed buns here?"

It seems that they are all made of white flour, and all of them are refined grains.

"It's okay, I made too much and saved some for tomorrow, but there are still many, so I just brought a few for you to try. You try it, and when you make something delicious next time, just give it to me to try.

."

Anyway, it's not a very good thing for him, it's just a few steamed buns, and there's no meat or eggs. There's nothing embarrassing about cooking a small stove for a friend.

"Okay, come in, come in and sit."

Went in and sat down.

Chen Zixuan discovered that Li Mu was actually on the kang.

He didn't expect that no one would go out.

"I went to chop wood in the morning."

Li Jie shrugged and said that he would not go out.

He even found a lot of winter food on the mountain.

It’s just that Li Mu is here now.
