Chapter 592
The sweetness of honey can completely cover the bitterness of buckwheat.
The little princess can accept both buckwheat cakes and buckwheat rice.
The potatoes cooked with firewood are black, and Xiao Ran keeps turning them with tongs, otherwise one side will be burnt and the other side will not be cooked.
"Brother, old potatoes are also delicious, why don't you eat old potatoes?" Princess Gaoyang handed Xiao Ran a piece of cake.
"Hmm, hmm~ sweet~ so good~" The little princess also likes old potatoes, mainly because they are sweet.
"It's easy to peel when boiled, but there's not much left after peeling when burned." Xiao Ran explained.
Princess Yuzhang stared at the fire ring on the stove, which is a net made of steel bars as thick as chopsticks, used to burn potatoes.
Many people nearby like to burn potatoes, and fire rings are basically available in every household in the village. It's inconvenient to burn potatoes without fire rings.
It's just that the potatoes are black, and Princess Li Lizhi and others feel that they can't start, as they are as black as carbon.
"Little Nangjun~ this is black~" The little princess pointed at it and began to doubt whether she could eat it.
"It won't be black in a while." Xiao Ran smiled.
Li Lizhi and the others didn't eat much, the honey was too greasy.
"Just sift it with a winnowing basket." The grandfather next to him also said.
Winnowing basket?
Sifting?
The princesses didn't understand this sentence, they couldn't understand what a winnowing basket was, and they didn't know how to sift.
"What's the duck~"
Xiao Ran pointed to the corner of the wall, "The one made of bamboo is it."
This is an important tool for farming, and it is also a must-have for every household, and there are several in a family.
It is used frequently during the sowing and harvesting seasons, and it is very troublesome without this tool.
Princess Gaoyang stood up and picked it up, "How strange, this is for storing things."
"There are more potatoes, Seventeen, bring it over! The potatoes are almost cooked."
"Okay!" Princess Gaoyang put the winnowing basket next to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran put all the potatoes on the fire ring in the winnowing basket.
Several princesses stared at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran went out with a winnowing basket, and Princess Gaoyang and two little princesses followed closely behind, wanting to see what Xiao Ran would do.
Xiao Ran walked to a place not far from the door, and started shaking the winnowing basket, shaking it back and forth quickly.
The black ash on the black potatoes slowly fell off the potatoes.
It was very black before, but now some parts are golden yellow, and some are still black.
Now it looks like we can at least start.
"Wow~ Little Nangjun is so delicious~" The little princess didn't expect it to be like this.
"Well, we can eat potatoes soon."
Xiao Ran returned to the house with potatoes, and Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were also a little surprised.
"This method is good, it looks very appetizing." Princess Yuzhang said.
Xiao Ran took last year's corn cobs and roasted them lightly on the fire. This one is more solid.
"If you don't like to eat the skin, just peel it. If you like to eat this golden potato skin, use this corn cob to scrape it. It's all golden yellow and tastes different."
Hearing Xiao Ran say this, several princesses were eager to try.
"Grandma, Grandpa, you can't eat this potato, what to eat?"
The two old people can't eat roasted potatoes, they are too hard.
"Let's eat fried rice later. I'm not hungry now!" Grandma looked at the little princess, "Mingda, grandma will scrape it for you."
"Hmm~" The little princess picked up the potatoes and corn cobs and handed them to grandma, "I miss this~"
There are no black spots on what Xiao Ran scraped, all golden yellow, the kind that makes the kids next door cry with greed.
Xiao Ran enjoyed the process very much. It looks no worse than the ones sold in the city, and looks equally tempting.
"Brother, this is good, it looks delicious." Princess Gaoyang smiled.
"Give it to the second sister first, and wait for Seventeen." Xiao Ran gave the scraped potatoes to Princess Chengyang.
"Hehe! Good!" Princess Chengyang took the potatoes.
The little princess swallowed her saliva and wanted to eat.
"Sizi, you eat first." Princess Chengyang gave the little princess a bite first.
"This is good~"
"Xiaoran, there is hot sauce and five-spice chili powder." Grandma pointed to the cabinet.
There is no refrigerator at home, so the food is placed in the cabinet, including the bowls and chopsticks.
The perfect match for eating potatoes is naturally hot sauce and five-spice chili powder.
The chili is ground from fresh red chili, and there are also condiments such as garlic, pepper and ginger in it, which tastes good.
The five-spice chili powder is even more fragrant, as if it is tailor-made for potatoes and roasted tofu.
Xiaoran brought two bowls, "This chili is not spicy, it is quite fragrant, you can try it."
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also scraped their potatoes and dipped them lightly.
"This hot sauce is delicious." Princess Yuzhang pointed.
The two little princesses also had to try it.
The princesses who didn't eat chili much found that they couldn't stop at all.It was a little spicy, but the aroma was real.
It was a little intoxicating.
"Sizi, your mouth is black." Princess Gaoyang pointed.
Only then did she realize that the others were similar.
"It's okay, eating roasted potatoes is like this, just wash them after eating." Xiao Ran handed the scraped potatoes to Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi did not refuse and took the potatoes from Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran got up and prepared lunch for grandpa and grandma.
The potatoes were eaten by Xiao Ran and his friends. Xiao Ran didn't know if the princesses could get used to it, but now they can get used to it.
The little princess ate two potatoes.
"Brother, I feel that these potatoes are better than the ones I ate in the ancient city. Is it my illusion, or is it because they are cooked in a hot pot there?" Princess Yuzhang also helped with the cooking.
"It should be the variety. There are many varieties of potatoes. The most obvious one is the white-hearted one. The difference is obvious. The white-hearted one is big, but the taste is much worse. It is very light and not delicious. We often eat the yellow-hearted one. The red one is rare, and the black one is purple. The yellow-hearted one has many varieties. Some have high yields, and some taste good. If you keep it for eating, it must taste good..."
Princess Yuzhang suddenly realized, and Li Lizhi also heard it, and silently remembered what Xiao Ran said in her heart.
Li Lizhi had never thought about this problem before, thinking that it was the same.
I didn't expect there was such a saying.
Fried rice and buckwheat rice are also a local specialty, and the taste is different when fried.
The little princess who finished eating the potatoes said she would try it again.
The local fried rice is varied, and the fried rice is slightly greasy, so the red bean sour soup is indispensable to relieve the greasiness.
Seeing that Princess Gaoyang and two little girls were eating, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were also greedy, but they were a little older and not suitable.
It's not the same as the little princess.
Unconsciously, I've been here for two days, but the princesses have no intention of leaving.
I like the atmosphere here very much, and the food is different from before.
Sitting at the door, it's just right, not too hot or too cold, and the breeze blows gently, which is very comfortable.
"Ah!!!" Princess Gao Yang shouted while running.
Xiao Ran stood up suddenly and watched Princess Gao Yang running desperately, and there was a big white guy chasing her with his neck stretched out.
