  The first step in making dried sweet potatoes is to process the sweet potatoes. Four baskets of sweet potatoes made the Jiang family's yard lively. They sat around the stone table and talked while processing the sweet potato skins facing each other. Granny Li came over Time is also added, which makes them process faster.
  In front of a large basin of clear water, Jiang Shu poured all the processed sweet potatoes into it and washed them again and again, then cut all the washed sweet potatoes into strips, and finally put them in the pot in the stove to steam them.  Jiang Cheng stood aside: "This, when can I eat it?"  Jiang Shu: "Steamed three times and dried three times, it will take three or four days before this can be eaten."  The so-called three-steaming and three-drying is to steam the dried sweet potato once and put it in the sun for a day or more, and then repeat the previous steps three times until the dried sweet potato is ready.  Regarding Jiang Shu's answer, Jiang Cheng remembered the books on cooking that Jiang Shu bought before, and he thought that Jiang Shu probably read them in books.  Jiang Cheng was very interested in the dried sweet potatoes made by Jiang Shu because of the sweet potato syrup made by Jiang Shu before, but as a motivated person who wanted to take the imperial examination, he hurried back to study.  Granny Li also helped a lot today. Jiang Shu simply wanted to stay with Granny Li for dinner. It happened that she was going to make candied sweet potatoes from some of the sweet potatoes that were born, but Granny Li did it because there was still work at home. I'm busy, I helped Jiang's family prepare dinner, and then I hurried back.  Jiang Shu stood in front of the stove, ready to start making candied sweet potatoes.  All the steamed sweet potatoes are evenly coated with flour. Finally, after the sugar is boiled to a brown color, the sweet potatoes are fried in the pan, and a candied sweet potato is made.  Jiang Shu tried to pick up a piece of sweet potato inside, that is, sweet potato. As soon as she picked it up, she immediately pulled out golden threads from the sugar wrapped around the sweet potato.  In addition to the candied sweet potatoes made by Jiang Shu, the Jiang family's dinner also includes spicy fried cabbage made by Granny Li, fried shredded pork with leeks, and steamed white rice.  Because the sky was too dark, the Jiang family ate dinner inside the house today.  Jiang Laosan looked at the candied sweet potatoes made by Jiang Shu, and then at Jiang Shu: "Why do I think this is brighter than the ones I ate in restaurants?"  Take a bite of candied sweet potato, the sweet taste slowly melts between the lips and teeth, the taste becomes more and more intense, once you bite down, the outer layer becomes more crispy, followed by the soft and glutinous inside, and finally mixed with silk The sweet taste slips down the throat, and after eating one piece, people can't wait to continue eating the next piece.  Youngest Jiang ate so much that he even rolled up his sleeves.  A plate of candied sweet potatoes, after the Jiang family finished dinner, there was only an empty plate left.  Jiang Laosan: "It's delicious, it's really delicious!"  While talking, Jiang Laosan was still reminiscing about the taste just now. After much deliberation, he came up with an idiom to describe Jiang Shu's candied sweet potatoes, that is, lips and teeth leave fragrance.  Aunt Li, who lives in the next yard, listened to the laughter of Jiang's family, showing a little envy, and then looked at Li Jun who opened the window and was calculating the account book, feeling bored again, and didn't know that Jiang's What method did Meng use to make his son so obsessed with it.  Ye'er helped Jiang Shu finish spreading the bedding, and opened the door to stand in the yard looking at the dried sweet potatoes drying in the Jiang family's yard. After eating candied sweet potatoes, Ye'er looked forward to Jiang Shu's dried sweet potatoes even more Yes, Jiang Shu teased her that the dried sweet potatoes were almost like a watchdog stone, but Ye Er hurried back to the house with a blushing face.  At night, Jiang Shu and Ye'er were lying in bed, not feeling sleepy for the time being.  Ye'er: "Girl, the food you cook is so delicious! I'm so happy to be with the girl, eat well and dress warmly, the girl is okay, no, it's because the food is very good and the clothes are very warm."  Listening to Ye'er's description, Jiang Shu burst out laughing.  Jiang Shu: "Sleep."  Ye'er hurriedly said: "Really, if the girl opens a shop, the business will definitely be better than that of the fourth girl's family. No, their business is not very good. If the girl opens a shop, it will definitely be like Hexiangju. The business is just as good!"  Jiang Shu: "Then I will open a shop in the future."  In the next few days, the weather became warmer and warmer, and people could still feel a little bit of heat in the afternoon, so the Jiang family's summer clothes were put on the agenda.  Regarding this matter, Jiang Shu's pair of cheap parents have no arbitrary way at all. They even discuss what to do and how many sets to make. They will never let everyone have any other thoughts about making summer clothes. .  Jiang Laosan: "Jiang Cheng and I are two people, one is busy working in the shop every day, and the other is in the academy every day, and most of the clothes we wear are uniformly distributed by the academy, so the two of us have two summer clothes per person. One set is enough, not to mention that last year's summer dress can still be worn, and the material is only cotton. Ye'er has two sets like us, one set of cotton and one set of gauze."  Regarding this matter, Jiang Cheng had no objection at all.  Jiang Laosan continued: "Your mother still has Shu'er. Each of them only has four sets of summer clothes, two sets of cotton cloth and two sets of tulle. Shu'er is still waiting to be married and she must not be wronged. Your mother, Even if I am wronged, you can't wrong your mother, don't you think?"  Jiang Laosan's remarks made Lu Xiao laugh.  Jiang Cheng quickly said: "No objection, no objection, even if I share my two sets with my mother and younger sister, I have no objection."  Jiang Shu had no further objections.  When crossing over, Jiang Shu was a little worried about his future diet and daily life because he was farming a lot, but the current life is completely beyond what Jiang Shu imagined at the beginning, and he can still do four sets in summer Clothes, this is something Jiang Shu didn't dare to think about before.  Seeing the figures of her children going out, Lu Xiao glanced at Jiang Laosan, and then asked: "It's the end of the month, remember to bring back the account book, I'll count it, and the daily expenses, you will remember it for me."  Jiang Laosan quickly agreed.  Early the next morning, Jiang Laosan took the Jiang family to the cloth shop to buy cloth. What they bought was not finished clothes, but to be made after buying the cloth.  When Jiang Shu went out with Jiang Laosan, she heard Ye Er kept talking about what kind of clothes looked good, and asked Jiang Shu what kind of clothes she wanted. Hearing that Ye'er said that the clothes she made for Jiang Shu must be better than the clothes of the fourth and fifth girls, she calmed down.  If Jiang Shu is asked to make clothes by himself, Jiang Shu will probably learn how to thread needles and threads.  Jiang Laosan didn't take Jiang Shu and the others to Liji Cloth Shop that Mrs. Chen went to before, but went to a cloth shop that was slightly smaller than Li Ji Cloth Shop. As soon as Jiang Laosan entered, Jiang Laosan greeted the deputy shopkeeper inside , obviously knew the deputy shopkeeper here, and Jiang Shu also understood why Jiang Laosan came here.  Lu Xiao directly took Jiang Shu to choose the fabric: "What color clothes do you want, you are so young, how about lotus color?" She looked at Jiang Shu, waiting for Jiang Shu's answer.  Jiang Shu stepped forward and carefully selected the fabric and tulle she wanted. Finally, she heard Lu Xiao choose the lotus color. The lotus color is pink, which looks very light. Peach red and snow blue, among the three colors, the first red is gorgeous but restrained, the second pink is delicate, and the third is a soft purple.  Jiang Shu's selection of fabrics was really fast. After she finished the selection, she walked around in the cloth shop and waited for the rest of the Jiang family. At this moment, Jiang Shu saw that Aunt Li who lived next door was very affectionate. Holding a woman's arm, they entered the cloth village together.  When Aunt Li saw Jiang Shu, she was slightly taken aback, then greeted Jiang Shu very calmly, and then introduced Jiang Shu to the woman beside them as the girl who lived next door to them. After taking a few glances at Jiang Shu, his expression was a bit scrutinized and a bit vigilant.  In the novel, Aunt Li, as a villain mother-in-law who does not want the heroine to marry her son, has done a lot of things to introduce other women to her son. If Jiang Shu guessed correctly, the woman next to Aunt Li now , is the first stumbling block between the love between the hero and the heroine to promote the plot.  Wang Xiang was surprised by Jiang Shu's appearance, her smile was a bit forced, a woman with such appearance lived next door to Li Jun, even if Li Jun could not see her every day, he would still meet her often, if she was a man with a face Facing such a face, it was hard not to toss and turn and not sleep at night.  When Jiang Shu watched Wang Xiang walk past her, she glanced back at herself, frowned slightly, and began to think about whether there was any content about herself in the original text, but obviously there was no plot about her in the original text , because in the original text, she didn't make many appearances at the beginning, at least before the hero and heroine got married, she didn't make many appearances.  Ye Er was very surprised: "Girl, who is this?"  Jiang Shu replied: "Probably the daughter-in-law that Aunt Li has a crush on."  Ye'er covered her mouth with a look of surprise, and then became even more angry. What are the Li family members doing? Li Jun first flirted with their girls, and then flirted with their four girls. There is also a daughter-in-law that Aunt Li has a crush on.  Ye'er bit her lips: "Should we tell Miss Si about this matter, Miss Si and Li Jun..."  Jiang Shu: "Tell her what to do?"  Hearing Jiang Shu's answer, Ye'er also laughed. Ye'er didn't think she was a bad person, but she didn't want Jiang Shu to tell Jiang Meng about this matter. It would be better to make this matter as messy as possible, because Li Jun's matter was Jiang Meng's. Meng did it on purpose, although Ye'er looked down on Li Jun now, if it wasn't for Jiang Meng, maybe their girls would all be talking about marriage with Li Jun now.  Jiang Shu didn't know Ye'er's thoughts, but Jiang Shu didn't have the Virgin to tell the heroine about this, otherwise she would be a joke with the heroine, not to mention the matter between the hero and the heroine, Jiang Shu didn't The plan to blend.  Not far away, Lu Han heard the conversation between Jiang Shu and Ye Er's master and servant, and frowned slightly. Lu Han would not listen to other people's words. This time, he just happened to listen when passing by. arrive.  If he remembers correctly, the fourth girl in the alley and the girl in front of him are cousins. According to the conversation between them, Jiang Shu probably knows that the mother of the man who likes her cousin wants to give it to her. His son introduced other women, but Jiang Shu felt as if he wanted to see a joke about it, and he didn't even want to tell her cousin.  When he was about to go out to breathe, Jiang Shu had a better look at Lu Han, and the eyes of the two just met.  The author has something to say:  It's updated!  There will be two more in a while~
