Chapter 57 Sweet Potato Flour and Jueba
"Mom, I think we should forget about the red flowers. This is too dangerous." Ms. Li was still more cautious and said quickly, "How do you know what others bought it for? What if it is used for this kind of thing?
,How much would that hurt Tianhe?"
"Thinking too much, how do you think rouge is made?" Ye Yuran said, "After the safflower is made into safflower, it can be put into starch to make rouge. If all rouge shops are so afraid of trouble, the rouge business will
Do you still want to do it? But what should not be used by pregnant women? You must make it clear in advance to avoid misunderstandings."
"Ah, mother can also do rouge?" Ms. Li had never seen her mother-in-law do it, so she was really frightened.
Zhu Bamei had never seen her mother do it, and she looked in disbelief: "Mom, why didn't you tell me that you can make rouge? Do you know how much it costs to buy a box of rouge in town? What if you can do it?
, why do we need to go to the town to do it? We can just do it at home."
She was really about to be left speechless by her mother. There were so many good things in her hand, why were they hiding them and not taking them out?
If she had taken it out earlier, her family would have become rich, and she would have gone to work as a maid in a wealthy family.
"You didn't ask." Ye Yuran said, since she hadn't traveled through time before, there was nothing she could do!
So my sister-in-law didn't care about the dyeing issue at all, so they came over one by one and asked her how she made the rouge.
Ms. Li also said very positively: "Although I can't touch the red flowers, it's okay. Mom, I'll help with other things, as well as this business matter. It's all taken care of by me. I will definitely be able to sell it."
Zhu Bamei nodded: "Yeah, leave all my work to me, and I promise to make the most beautiful rouge."
Ye Yuran couldn't laugh or cry: "Aren't you going to make the bracelet? Okay, this rouge is not as simple as you said. If you want to really do it well, first of all, the color must be mixed well. The color must be mixed well before making rouge.
Dyeing can be done together."
The main reason is that if you want to make good rouge, their conditions are here, and the things are not in place, so you can't make it at all.
Instead of looking at Rouge longingly, it is better to start with the bracelet and wait until you have saved money before taking up Rouge's idea.
"Do you think this rouge is easy to make? We are looking for petals to make rouge, but can our family afford rapeseed oil and corn?"
One sentence directly gave up the idea of two people.
Li and Zhu Bamei were disappointed for a while: "It turns out our family is so poor."
"Otherwise, why do you think you didn't do it in the first place? How could you have time to do this kind of thing if you can't even fill your stomach? Since you have time and are willing to do it, okay, I will teach you, lest you say that I am partial all day long, what?
I don’t teach either. But,” Ye Yuran paused at this point, “You have to say ugly things first, and teaching is about teaching. It depends on you what you learn and what you do. To put it simply,
, but some people are talented and are born to eat this bowl of rice, and they can do it as soon as they make it; some people are not good at it, and they have tried it hundreds of times, but they are not as good as others, and there is nothing they can do."
"It's okay, Mom," Mrs. Li said, "We are not so picky in the countryside. It's fine if we can make it. Then we can buy it cheaper."
Ye Yuran looked at her and really didn't know what to say.
That afternoon, Zhu Bamei was no longer in the mood to knit bracelets, so she took Dabao and Erbao out to pick red flowers, while Mrs. Li helped find a place to dry the palm leaves she had collected earlier.
Ye Yuran looked at the sweet potato slices that had been dried before and pinched them. They were already dry and crispy.
I went to the kitchen to get a garlic mortar, threw the dried sweet potato slices into it, and started pounding it.
After a while, the sweet potato slices in the garlic mortar turned into powder.
After Mrs. Li dried the palm leaves, she saw Ye Yuran making things there, so she ran over: "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Powder grinding." Ye Yuran said without raising his head.
"Mom, let me help you. There are so many things, and you don't know how long it will take you to do them all by yourself."
"You have to make it so fine, you know?" Ye Yuran showed her the finished work and told her not to be lazy.
"Huh? Mom, why does this stuff look like flour after being pounded?" Mrs. Li looked surprised, "Then can it be made into cakes?"
"It's different. I'll teach you how to do it tonight, and you'll know."
When Zhu Bamei came back with Dabao and Erbao, she saw her mother and fourth sister-in-law busy.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Pound sweet potato flour, have you picked the safflower?" Ye Yuran looked up and saw Zhu Bamei's basket full of red flowers.
"Hey, mother, do you think it's enough?"
"Whether it's enough or not, you'll know when it's done?" Ye Yuran said, "You pick out the fresh ones, pound them into a paste, add water and soak them. When you cook at night, you can keep an eye on it yourself.
Ask your sister-in-law to leave the washed rice for you, you need to use this."
"What's the use of rice washing water?" Zhu Bamei said, "Rice washing water also wastes rice. Rice is originally clean."
"Rice water is used to make paint. It's rare for our family to have some rice water. You can tell them and let them keep it for you. Then it will be fed to the pigs. What will you use?"
When Zhu Bamei heard this, she immediately promised that she would definitely ask her sisters-in-law to help her stay.
In order to please her mother, she also found a wooden basin and a pounding stick, and followed them to pound dried sweet potatoes.
It wasn't until evening that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu came back. They still hadn't finished the pile of dried sweet potatoes, but they did have a bag with more than half of it filled.
Mrs. Liu was very conscious and went to cook by herself. Mrs. Liu put down the vegetable basket in her hand and came over to help.
Ye Yuran asked Mrs. Liu to make cakes first, and when it was almost done, she would go over and make a new dish.
Because she was making a new dish, she did not let her daughter-in-law and daughter continue pounding sweet potato chips. Instead, she called her into the kitchen and taught them how to make it.
The person in charge of cooking today is Mrs. Liu, and she is in charge of cooking. Under the guidance of Ye Yuran, she knows how to make "Jueba".
There are many ways to make Jueba, but Ye Yuran likes a simpler way, but the conditions at home are limited, there is no oil, and the food is limited.
So in order to reduce food consumption, she asked Liu to cut a lot of radish shreds and put in the cabbage leaves, which would occupy a little more space.
"How much sweet potato starch to put and how much water to put in are all tricky. You have to remember a rough ratio and don't put it in casually."
"Did you see that with so many sweet potato slices, just add this much water and it will be watery. If you add more, it will be too thin. When the time comes, it will be sticky and will not form a cake."
"It doesn't work if there is too little water. If there is sediment in the pot, the pancake will be half-cooked and not so delicious."
In order to make everyone understand, Ye Yuran first asked Liu to scoop some sweet potato flour into it, pour water in and mix it, shredded radish and cabbage leaves were all added later.
After mixing, apply a little oil on the pot (use raw pig skin and brush it once), mix it in the bowl with a spoon, and pour a spoonful directly into the pot.
