Chapter 392 Sweet Potato Food
Such a car of sweet potatoes drove into the village without any cover and came to Wang Yong's house. Needless to think about it, many people saw it along the way.
When I used to grow sweet potatoes at home, everyone thought this thing was a fun thing. But I haven’t grown sweet potatoes in recent years and have never eaten sweet potatoes. At first glance, I really want to try it.
There is a thick-skinned person who thinks he is close to Wang Yong, so he is going to rob Wang Yong. Anyway, Wang Yong is a rich man, so he definitely doesn't care about a few sweet potato money.
Wang Yong didn't know that the villagers were secretly thinking about the pile of sweet potatoes he had brought for his wife. He was carefully checking the varieties of these baskets of sweet potatoes.
It looks like two varieties, one is yellow on the outside and the same color on the inside. The other is red on the outside and the flesh is red on the outside.
When Wang Yong was a child, he planted this kind of sweet potato with red skin and red soil. When he was a child, he planted it at home. However, at that time, people planted sweet potatoes mainly to obtain starch, so there were very few varieties that were specially eaten.
No one would take out a large piece of land to grow this kind of sweet potatoes that are specifically for eating, and they wouldn't bear to leave! Moreover, no one went to the countryside to buy this kind of sweet potatoes that are specifically used for food at that time!
As for those sweet potatoes with high starch content, if eaten, to be honest, they are not delicious at all. Although they are a little sweet, due to their high starch content, they taste very dry and doughy.
It would be nice if it was left for a while, or it was burned in the sun for a while and then put it in a pot to steam.
I don't know if it was a chemical or physical reaction.
Anyway, it’s just that simple to put it in a pot and steam it, and it’s exactly the same as fresh sweet potatoes. Not only is it easier to cook, but it also doesn’t feel that it’s very dry after it’s cooked, making it hard to swallow.
What’s even more surprising is that the sweet potatoes produced in this way are very soft and sweeter. Just take a bite and you’ll have that!
Of course, the sweetness of sweet potatoes should be transformed from starch. No matter how sweet it is, it is impossible to sweeten your teeth!
It is precisely because the people have discovered this characteristic of sweet potatoes that the very beautiful edible sweet potatoes soon lost their use in the countryside. They can't be sold for money, so why should they grow them?
But there are very few people who will take out a small piece of land to plant a small amount, and then keep it for fresh food at home after harvesting.
It’s different now. Sweet potato starch is said to be not expensive and cannot be sold at the price. Therefore, many farmers have begun to grow this edible variety of sweet potatoes.
Because now that living conditions are better, everyone's horizons are much broader than before. I know that this kind of sweet potato is delivered to big cities or sold to second-class dealers, and it can always be sold at a good price. Not only does it cost more than selling starch to earn, it saves a lot of trouble.
Wang Yong kept recalling the way he made sweet potatoes he had seen or ate. He thought about the most distinctive and delicious way, so he tried it first and gave it to his greedy wife and fucking daughter.
Sweet potato porridge?
This should be considered a kind of thing?
Put the water to a boil. Then put the washed rice into the pot, cover the pot and start cooking. This is usually the process of cooking white rice porridge. What about sweet potato porridge?
It is very simple. It is to peel the washed sweet potatoes in advance, then slice them first, and then cut them into small grains. After putting the rice in the pot, put the sweet potato particles into the pot.
After the porridge is cooked, it will naturally exude a unique and sweet smell brought by sweet potatoes.
After taking a bite into your mouth, the sweetness of the sweet potato and the smoothness of the white rice will slide from your throat to your stomach. People who like sweets and are afraid of getting fat will definitely fall in love with this delicious and healthy sweet potato porridge in an instant.
In addition to sweet potato porridge, the most common way to make sweet potatoes Wang Yong ate when he was a child was to cook sweet potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes.
The way to make sweet potatoes is actually steaming. This is very simple. What about cooking sweet potatoes? As the name suggests, it is to put them on the fire and burn them directly.
It tastes the same as roasted sweet potatoes, but when I was a child, I couldn't wait to roast it slowly. Impatient is probably a natural nature for all children.
Anyway, when Wang Yong was a child, he couldn't wait to roast the sweet potatoes slowly. Even if he roasted them occasionally, he probably still hadn't cooked yet, so he couldn't wait to eat them.
Carefully roll the sweet potatoes you think are roasted on the ground a few times first, and even bury them with soil for a while.
The purpose of this is to cool it down quickly so that you can eat delicious sweet potatoes immediately.
However, generally speaking, when children push away the skin of the warm roasted sweet potato, open their mouths and take a bite, and prepare to eat beautifully, they always find that what is cooked is just a layer of the appearance. The sweet potato is still hard in the heart, but when they bite, they still have crispy food?
So in order to quickly get the deliciousness of cooked sweet potatoes, children usually buy sweet potatoes directly into the fire instead of roasting them.
Roasted sweet potatoes can not only quickly turn raw sweet potatoes into ripe, but also have almost no difference in taste from roasted sweet potatoes. The only difference is that the surface of roasted sweet potatoes will have a black carbonized layer.
This requires peeling off the thick skin of this thick burned black charcoal before eating, and then you can enjoy the deliciousness of sweet potatoes.
However, if you want to peel off this carbonized layer, children will often be covered in black and gray on their hands and faces, and they will look embarrassed. However, in order to have delicious food, this small disadvantage can definitely be ignored.
Of course, if you get the clothes, you may be beaten and scolded when you come home!
But if you want to say the way to eat sweet potatoes that left the deepest impression on Wang Yong, you have to say that it is the way to eat sweet potatoes that are pulled.
Put the sweet potato chips coated with starch or egg liquid into a frying pan, and the frying turns into a beautiful golden color. Then start a new pot to boil sugar, which will test the chef's skills.
If the heat is too high, it will definitely be a pot. No one will like something with a paste flavor, even though it is sweet. If the heat is small, it will not work. Because the heat is small, the sugar will not melt well, and the sugar will not be boiled well, so the effect of pulling the thread will not be better.
Wang Yong thought he had no problem with this kind of shredded vegetables, but when he really wanted to do it himself, he felt a little nervous for no reason.
Later, I thought, I might as well leave this kind of dish that requires skills and experience to the chef, Er uncle.
Wang Yong was thinking about how to make sweet potatoes here. Suddenly, he heard a noise outside the door. There were men and women, elderly people and children in the sound. The mess was very lively.
"Wang Yong, where are the sweet potatoes you got? Give me a little even!"
Before he could see a figure, Mr. Wang had already carried a bag and heard his voice in at the top of his throat.
At this time, a bunch of villagers rushed into the gate. The mistress, Grandma Liu, godmother, aunt and the wife who led Wenwen were also among the crowd.
When they saw that there were six large baskets of sweet potatoes in front of Wang Yong, they exclaimed, and then rushed forward as if no one else was there, pretending to be a sweet potato with the guy they brought.
Tote bags, woven bags, baskets, cartons, foam boxes... all kinds of equipment are enough to hold an exhibition!
"Oh! Or is it red? Good thing, I like it!"
"My basket is yellow!"
"Really? I tell you, these sweet potatoes are still delicious with yellow flesh! I remember when my village was still growing sweet potatoes, I planted some yellow fleshy sweet potato seedlings every year."
"Well, Dali said it well. If you say it tastes delicious, it is really the same as the yellow flesh, and the red flesh is a little worse."
"This sweet potato must be dried before you!"
"Who doesn't know this? You need to say it!"
"That's it, that's it!"
"It's your size! You guys are a little more at ease, you're not going to catch any money, right? Are you shameless? "
"Isn't that a thing? I said Lian Hai? You're too much, right? Although this thing is not worth much, you can't put it in a big sack, right?"
"You are trying to wrap all these sweet potatoes!"
"Did you forget Lian Hai's nickname?"
"nickname?"
"Sweet potato head!"
These uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters in the village were placing sweet potatoes into the guys in their hands while also whining.
Wang Yong didn't like eating this thing very much. He got such a bunch of sweet potatoes just to please his wife.
Although I got a little more sweet potatoes, who hasn’t done anything stupid between lovers and husbands?
Wang Yong stood aside and looked at the village people with a smile. This gave him a little bit of a feeling when everyone was digging sweet potatoes in the field to work.
The whole village, regardless of the age of the young and old, was in the field. The young and middle-aged man took picks and picked up the sweet potatoes and dug out the fields. The elderly and children followed behind to wipe the dirt from the sweet potatoes and then put them in bags or large baskets.
Everyone is not far away from each other, or is far away, talking and laughing loudly, looking forward to the coming year, past events, family and country events, there is nothing that cannot be said.
Wang Yong hasn't experienced this kind of scene for a long time. After going to college, he left his hometown alone to study in another place, and then stayed in the provincial capital alone to work hard, and he had experienced such a scene there.
I haven't experienced this kind of scene of the whole village working in the fields for so many years. Today, seeing everyone snatching sweet potatoes together made Wang Yong immediately remembered the beautiful or painful memories of his childhood autumn harvest holiday.
Rural children are both happy and afraid of autumn harvest holidays or busy farming holidays. Because this holiday is almost the busiest period of the year in rural areas. Every day, it is common to start working at dawn and stay busy until midnight.
Wang Yong was still stunned. Wenwen, who followed her into the house, saw that her godmother said she wanted to give her a lot of delicious sweet potatoes and was being snatched by everyone. She saw that several baskets were empty soon, and the little girl was reluctant.
She let go of her godmother's hand, ran over "thump" and lay her little body on a basket of yellow-filled sweet potatoes, taking it first.
The little girl is also very conscientious. She heard several grandfathers say that this kind of yellow sweet potato is the most delicious. Wenwen only needs this basket!
After the villagers carried the guy full of sweet potatoes and scattered, Wang Yong came to his senses. He turned his head and saw Wenwen lying on a basket of sweet potatoes with his two little arms stretched out, and he couldn't come down no matter how his wife and godmother persuaded him.
"Grandma keeps it for you, no one gives it to you, it's all Wenwen's. Can you get up first?"
"Be good Wenwen, look, your beautiful clothes are dirty. Get up quickly and go to change clothes with your godmother?"
"No, no, when Wenwen left, they snatched all Wenwen's sweet potatoes! The wife also said that Wenwen would give her a few, including grandpa, grandma, second uncle, third grandpa, fifth grandpa, uncle, second uncle..."
The little girl said a lot of names with a small mouth, and it seemed that she wanted to continue talking, but she couldn't finish it in less than half an hour. Wang Yong quickly walked over and asked:
"Wenwen, what are you doing?"
The little girl looked up at Wang Yong and said crisply: "My, mine, this basket is all Wenwen's!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
ps: I’m finally over, so I don’t have to go on this annoying night shift again! The house is about to escape from the sea of suffering and be greatly relieved! Do you guys express it?
