Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 148 Konjac
Chapter 140 IX Konjac

Grandma patted her chest and said, "Oh, this damn TV is over. This is not "Approaching Science", this is simply "Scared to Death"! My grandson sleeps with me tonight! Why do I remember that? Is Quzi feeling fuzzy in his heart?"

Dad also looked a little worried: "You said that Mr. Zhang took pictures of the old turtle fish like this, will it scare the villagers? You got the old turtle fish. If the villagers are not happy, Piwa you But cats scratching glutinous rice cakes can’t get rid of their claws!”

The next day, when Li Junge walked his dog to the threshing ground, he found that there were many people, and they were all discussing enthusiastically, and the topic was the same as the previous night's TV.

"Did you watch the show yesterday?"

"Then you can still miss it, ouch, it's really scary."

"What, it's so fake, I was right there at the time, it's not like that at all!"

"You don't come here, I know it, you ran back in fright when you heard Pi Wa's old turtle that day, and you didn't know about it at all!"

"You go! I didn't scare you, didn't I hurry back and tell you guys!"

"Do you think this film is really "Approaching Science"? Why do I think it is promoting superstition? It makes me feel hairy."

"That's right, you said that we will secretly burn some wool paper tonight, will the ancestors be angry?"

"No, the second episode will be broadcast tonight. I will watch it. Hong Guang was on TV yesterday. Look at how aggressive he is!"

"That's right, that's right, what did you say about this show, it makes people afraid and miss it!"

……

Seeing Li Junge coming, the villagers gathered around, and the first one to attack was Uncle Bamboo Carpenter: "Pi Wa, you are doing something again! You have recruited all the TV stations! It seems that Liangzi is so scared that he dare not even come to the threshing field! "

Li Junge said carelessly: "Where is it so evil? This show is just like this. First, there are two episodes full of clouds and mists, which make you scared and want to watch, and then the answer will be announced at the end! Everyone will find out when the results come out. How simple and how simple."

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said, "Why are there so many twists and turns in your belly? Tell me what happened in the end, and I'll go back and tell Liangzi first!"

Li Junge said: "Where do I know this? I want to know about other scientists, so I panic!"

Then he said: "Don't worry, everyone. Tonight, I will definitely let the old uncle bewitched. Shen Qinggong's fox maid or something, maybe it's too mysterious. The key is the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone eats moon cakes at home While watching the answer revealed, hehehe, this arrangement is really good."

"Pi Wa, what's the matter with the old uncle? I saw it in the countryside. I don't know if the waist is short, but the roots of the hair have really turned black!"

Li Junge's heart was beating drums when he heard it, so he could only say wow: "I'm also puzzled by this, and I don't really understand it! Anyway, there will definitely be a scientific explanation when the time comes."

That night, as expected by Li Junge, the episode on Lijiagou became even more mysterious. Old man Li vividly reproduced his behavior on the day he was bewitched.Then the fourth grandpa took Mr. Zhang to check the information, and then performed the part where the fox fairy pays homage to Mr. Shen Qing. At the end, there were many interviews with villagers, and each of them spoke vividly. If you don’t go to the starting point to write a book, you will be blind.

On the contrary, the part where Li Junge brought the tuna into the car was not easy to reproduce, and was not filmed. It was only briefly mentioned in the description of Mr. Zhang's live broadcast room.

On the third day, the curiosity of the entire Lijiagou reached its peak, and everyone was looking forward to the announcement of the answer.

Li Junge didn't go out to wander around that day, but Shirly and Alice came over.

"Huh? You two are not members of the standing committee of the village committee, what are you doing here?"

Shirly said: "Zu Zu said today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we are here to wish Grandma Wu Zu a happy birthday."

Li Junge had a black line on his forehead: "It's a happy holiday! Are you addicted to Jiudou bowl?"

Alice said: "We haven't settled with you yet. I heard that you went to the mountains again and didn't take us with you!"

Li Junge said: "It's not that I won't take you with me, it's that you really can't go there. Now there are yachts in the water park. Let's go take a yacht tomorrow."

At this time, grandma came out, holding a dustpan for sewing in her hand, and said with a smile: "My dear girls, come, sit next to Grandma Fifth Patriarch, and we will continue sewing."

"What?" Li Junge opened his mouth wide: "Are you going against the sky?"

Alice sat down with Shirly, stroked the cotton thread with yellow wax in a decent manner, Alice said: "Grandma Wuzu said, women in Lijiagou don't know how to be popular, so they are not perfect women. We see Grandma Wuzu every day. Sitting at the door doing needlework has a taste of ageing gentleness, so let’s learn it too.”

As if it was true, the stuffing was revealed after one stroke of the needle. It turned out that the two of them had learned how to smooth the cotton thread, and the stitches were so hard to see.

Li Junge couldn't bear to be surprised, turned his head and said, "Aren't you college students? Why don't you need to take credits? Didn't you say that American universities have strict admission rules and strict exit rules, and attendance quizzes must be counted as credits?"

Shirly rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you know that we are academic masters? I told the tutor that we are going to China for an investigation, and the tutor agreed. As long as I give her two reports when I go back, it will be considered as the completion of the credits."

Li Junge remembered the degree of freedom he had when he was helping Mr. Sun's director's teaching and research office when he was an undergraduate. As long as he didn't fail a subject, he didn't have to go to the classroom for a semester, so he was relieved.

Alice was very excited: "At first we were still thinking about how to fool the instructor. We just translated two intangible cultural heritage materials prepared by Sister Liang and Sister Ayin, and the instructor asked us to stay in Lijiagou."

Li Junge's face was full of black lines: "You guys are messing with your seniority again! You should be called auntie! By the way, why is your tutor so easy to talk? What are your majors?"

Alice said: "Our major is the study of traditional Chinese culture."

Li Junge laughed loudly: "Speaking of this, Fourth Grandpa is qualified to be your mentor's mentor! No wonder you don't have to worry about leaving the two of you here."

At this time, I saw Wang Xiaosong coming over with a duck, and said, "Baobao! The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, and my dad asked me to bring you a duck!"

Li Junge patted his head and said, "Your father is very polite. Wait a minute, godfather will give you a present too."

Then he took out a small straight knife from the back room, and said, "I'm a big boy, I'll give you this to play with, it can only be cut and shaved, but you can't chop things, the blade is thin, and it is necessary to chop randomly. Crushed!"

This is one of the mountain running equipment that Li Junge and the guy from the CNC center jointly made with powdered steel scraps last time. Li Junge matched it with a cowhide scabbard with a horn handle, and it was a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for Wang Xiaosong.

"It's fine to play at home, but you can't take it to school. When you are older, godfather will take you to run in the mountains!"

Wang Xiaosong jumped three feet high: "Yes! I can also be a mountain runner! Thank you godfather!"

Li Junge said: "Go ahead and tell your dad about the happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Take the boat early today, and eat sesame cakes to watch the moon at night!"

After Wang Xiaosong ran away, Li Junge remembered something and shouted: "Knives are always oiled! Don't get rusty!"

……

After Wang Xiaosong left, Shirly asked, "Jungle, what does Baobao mean?"

Li Junge said: "Baobao is a godfather. We Shuzhou people think that it is not enough for a child to have only one father, and other men are needed to take care of him, so we have to hire a Baobao to fulfill part of the father's responsibility. Help your children grow up healthy."

Alice seemed to think of something, took out an orange, peeled it, stuffed a piece into her mouth, and said in English, "Don't speak out your ideal easily, and don't give others a chance to laugh at you. "

Li Junge pressed her cheeks with his finger, pressed the orange petals back into her mouth, and said dumbfoundedly: "You are playing the godfather, and we call him brother Pao here!"

Picking up a hoe, he said to the two sisters, "Let's go, I'll show you a magical ingredient."

Take the two sisters to a plant beside the fish pond. The plant has a light green stem with many lavender spots on it. The leaves are like the leaves of the banyan tree that have been enlarged many times, but they are more tender.

The most special thing is that the stem of the long leaves is wrapped with a narrow leaf edge.

Li Junge said: "This is konjac. After processing, it can be made into konjac cubes. We eat duck during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Shuzhou. This roasted duck with konjac is a famous dish in Shuzhou."

After speaking, I started digging on the side of the konjac, and soon dug out a brown ball the size of a bowl from the bottom of the konjac stem.

Li Junge said: "This is konjac, don't look at it now, you can make half a pot of konjac!"

Taking the two girls back to the back of the kitchen, Li Junge said to them: "Just watch me make it. This thing is also itchy. Direct contact will itch you to death."

Putting a plastic bag on one side of his hand, Li Junge washed the konjac and removed the skin, cut it into strips with a kitchen knife, took it to the shed by the fish pond and beat it into konjac pulp with a beater.

And most importantly, rinse the machine with plenty of water, otherwise if you want to eat soy milk tomorrow morning, the remaining konjac pulp will be mixed in, it will be bad.

Carrying the konjac pulp to the kitchen, Li Junge took some alkali powder and added hydration to open one side, then added enough water to the konjac pulp, poured the diluted konjac pulp into a large pot, and started to boil the konjac paste.

The key is to stir constantly and quickly.

Boil until the konjac paste starts to become translucent, and after the paste forms and bubbles, start to lower the heat, and then slowly add alkaline water.

The stirring hand can't stop, it has to keep the original speed.

The lye is poured slowly, and the shovel is stirred quickly. It is such a trick, but it is simple.

After the alkaline water is stirred evenly, completely extinguish the firewood, and let the konjac paste in the pot cool and solidify.

After the konjac paste is completely condensed, pour a scoop of cold water along the side of the pot, then cut it with a kitchen knife, and cut the konjac into cubes along the bottom of the pot.

The water acts as a separator for the konjac pieces so that the konjac separates piece by piece.

Use a shovel to shovel down the bottom of the pot to completely separate the konjac from the bottom of the pot.

Then add a large pot of boiling water and cook the konjac cubes for a few minutes, the konjac cubes will become more springy and resilient.

Then soak it in a large bucket of cold water, and the konjac is ready.

The konjac here is actually ready to eat. Cut it into thin slices and eat it directly with seasoning. It is a fragrant vegetarian dish.

But today Li Junge is going to make Konjac Roasted Duck.

　I don’t know if you have watched this show. Lao Zhou really thinks it is very interesting. You can find an episode to watch, hahaha... I remember watching a chef competition on TV, using konjac, and the Sichuan chef made konjac burnt Duck, and the palace vegetarian abalone made by the Shandong chef. The judges said, Sichuan chef, you are very good at cooking. It is delicious, but the only word is delicious. Look at the vegetarian abalone, which is exquisite and elegant, and then the Sichuan chef lost... Hahahaha , the chef used home-cooked food to participate in the competition, and he has a big heart...
