Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 22 Three steaming and three drying

Dahuang jumped on Su Mulan's body and couldn't get off her. He meowed and rubbed his head against her, acting like a coquettish person.

"This Rhubarb is so clingy." Su Mulan didn't expect this orange cat to be so friendly to her. She stretched out her hand to rub Rhubarb's head and stroked the fat and smooth cat body.

 Don’t tell me, it feels good in the hand.

that is…

The orange cat is indeed an orange cat. It is round and round, not at all puffy, and weighs a solid amount of weight. It even feels a little heavy when you hold it.

Su Mulan quickly put the rhubarb on the ground in the east room.

Rhubarb, however, refused to move back and forth. He only clung to Sumulan and rubbed back and forth against her legs.

"Go to bed quickly, we have to get up early tomorrow to open up wasteland." Su Mulan said.

"Okay." Bai Shuiliu withdrew his surprised gaze and nodded, "Mom, please go to bed early."

When he turned around and walked towards the west room, Bai Shuiliu looked back several times. Dahuang was still wandering back and forth beside Su Mulan, rubbing here and there.

This Dahuang also knows that she has gotten better, so do you want to get close to her?

Then has she really changed for the better?

Bai Shuiliu lowered his head and thought, then went back to the house to sleep.

With mugwort in the house, there were far fewer mosquitoes than before, and with the company of rhubarb, Sumulan felt inexplicably much more at ease. She slept quite soundly until the next day, when the sky was dark. Then he opened his eyes.

Rhubarb, who had obviously been patrolling the house all night, had already yawned and was sleeping next to Su Mulan's shoes, making a slight snoring sound. Su Mulan stood up and stretched out his hand to rub it.

Dahuang meowed with his eyes closed, stretched out his tongue and licked the back of Su Mulan's hand, then curled up into a big circle, and then snored to sleep.

 Su Mulan got up and prepared breakfast.

Baishui Liu and the other four also got up one after another, washed themselves, and helped Su Mulan make breakfast. White noodles and stick noodles are mixed, and tomatoes are mixed into a pimple soup. There is also a layer of egg drop floating in it. When it is cooked in the pot, chopped green onion is used.

 So this bowl of pimple soup is extremely fragrant when you drink it, and the slight acidity of the tomatoes is even more appetizing and refreshing. After one bowl, you will just feel that you have endless aftertaste.

After eating and tidying up, Su Mulan called Bai Shuiliu and Bai Lixia to help move the dried sweet potatoes out of the house.

White bamboo leaves and white rice beans were very discerning and picked up empty bamboo baskets and dried sweet potatoes to dry.

“Wait a minute.” Su Mulan stopped them, “These dried sweet potatoes cannot be dried directly, they must be steamed first.”

"Steam it again?" Bai Shuiliu was a little surprised, "Isn't this sweet potato already ripe?"

"It's ripe, but the purpose of steaming it this time is to let the dried sweet potatoes absorb some more moisture, and then dry it for a day, steam it again tomorrow, and dry it again. In this way, after three steaming and three drying times, the dried sweet potato will taste soft, glutinous and sweet, not It’s so hard that it hurts my cheeks.”

Su Mulan smiled and said, "This is the secret to delicious dried sweet potatoes. Just know it and don't tell anyone."

"We will definitely not tell anyone else." Bai Zhuye shook her head like a rattle.

 Dried sweet potatoes can be sold for money, and delicious dried sweet potatoes can sell better. In other words, the secret is money. They will not push the money out and tell others.

"Be good." Su Mulan smiled and rubbed Bai Zhuye's little head, "I'm afraid it won't fit in one pot, so steam it in two times. You guys can help add fire first."

Baishui Liu responded and hurriedly went to the kitchen to add firewood to the fire.

  This is the secret to delicious dried sweet potatoes. You can try it.

However, when cutting the sweet potatoes for the first time, if the quantity is not large, you can cut them into pieces and then steam them. The principle is the same as steaming and cutting. If the quantity is relatively large, it will be easy to stick to each other after cutting and steaming, and the appearance will not be good.
