Chapter 81(1/2)

Du Heng's broad beans have already popped out of the pods after drying them for a day. After drying them, the broad beans are the same size as their thumbs, and the blue-white ones look very clean. Xuan Yu put all the beans he packed into the basket, and the pods were thrown into the spiritual field and turned into soil again.

Du Heng originally thought it would be good if he could collect sixty kilograms of beans, but after weighing them, he found that there were more than seventy kilograms of beans. It was really high-yield!

With these beans, Du Heng can make moldy beans. Before making moldy beans, you need to stir-fry broad beans, and broad beans crackle and hit the iron pot in the pot.

Xiaoxiao squatted on the stove again and looked at Du Heng. Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's head: "This is used to make moldy beans. If you want to eat it, let you chew two of them after stir-frying."

The fried broad beans are very hard, and the teeth must be very good before they can be bitten to stir-fried dry broad beans. Du Heng ate a lot of fried broad beans when he was a child. In winter, Du’s father would stir-fry a bowl of broad beans. The outer skin of the fried broad beans turns yellow and some places are still burnt. At this time, just knock off the thin skin of the outer layer of the broad beans, and you can see the yellow and white broad bean kernels inside.

It is hard and crispy when you take a bite. A handful of broad beans can crunch for a long time. The freshly fried broad beans are very fragrant. Eat a few while they are hot, and the mouth is full of bean flavor.

Du Heng stuffed a handful of fried broad beans into Xiaoxiao's storage bag: "If you like it, I'll stir-fry it for you next time."

It’s not that Du Heng was stingy. He only took five kilograms of broad beans to make moldy beans. If Xiaoxiao eats too much, he will rack his brains to recalculate the amount of peppers and other ingredients when making bean paste.

The freshly fried soybeans were thrown into cold water. When the cold and heat collided, the outer skin of the broad beans was easily peeled off. Du Heng quickly peeled half a basket of beans and came out. After washing the slightly yellow beans for a while, Du Heng placed the beans in a steamer with gauze.

The water in the pot boiled, Du Heng put the beanban in the pot and started steaming. He only needed to steam half a cup of tea. The beanban does not need to be steamed too hard, otherwise it will break when touched.

The water in the pot was bubbling, and Du Heng unconsciously glanced at the doghouse behind the stove with his hands in his arms. After seeing it, he was stunned: "Hey? Where is the cat?"

The kitten that had been fed with cow milk yesterday disappeared today! Du Heng searched around the doghouse but couldn't find it. He looked at it and smiled: "Xiaoxiao, have you seen the kitten?"

Xiaoxiao shook his head. He was not interested in kittens, and he was not a demon cultivator in the cat family.

Du Heng scratched his head: "Was it possible that the door was opened and it escaped?"

After steaming the beans, they let them cool down, Du Heng took them out and mixed them with a layer of flour. After mixing the flour, the beans looked very beautiful, like the five-spice peanuts made by Du Heng for Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao took a pill and chewed it. It didn't taste much, and he didn't like it very much.

Du Heng laughed: "This is not a snack, it was made as a seasoning, and it has no taste now."

Du Heng found a bamboo lee, and evenly spread the floured beans in the bamboo lee. The bamboo lee is not big, and the beans are piled together with a thickness of about an inch. This thickness just fits the moldy beans. Du Heng covered the bamboo lee with a layer of gauze, and he walked into the yard with the bamboo lee.

Du Heng has already made a nest next to the stone mill in the southeast corner of the yard. There is artemisia mugwort underneath. Artemisia mugwort is a plant that can smoke insects. Ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants will take a detour when they see artemisia mugwort.

There was a layer of wilted pumpkin leaves on the mugwort. Du Heng placed the bamboo leek above the melon leaves, then covered the gauze with a layer of melon leaves, and finally covered it with a layer of mugwort. The temperature in the yard is not low, Du Heng believed that at this temperature, the beans would become moldy in less than a few days.

After doing all this, Du Heng stood up and stretched. In the past few days, he felt that it was strange in his dantian. Sometimes the spiritual energy in his dantian began to surge wildly as he walked. He had to stop the work in his hand and start to run the exercises. What was even more annoying was that sometimes when he was intimate with Xuan Yu, there were also abnormal movements in his dantian.

Although Xuan Yu told him to let the flow, Du Heng, who had never formed a pill, was still quite worried. He heard that when forming a pill, there would be a heavenly tribulation. Can his small body be able to withstand the thunder tribulation? That's thunder. Wouldn't he be burnt on the outside and tender on the inside?

With such melancholy, Du Heng stood at the gate of the yard and sighed. When he turned his head, he saw Lao Dao walking towards him with Jing Nan on his back. Jing Nan fell asleep again. It only took a few days from the time he was panicked at the beginning to the calmness of his current carrying him to the room.

Du Heng tucked the quilt for Jing Nan: "He may not be able to sleep at this point, and he may not be able to eat dinner."

Lao Dao smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Du keeps food for Lord Jing." Du Heng nodded: "Don't worry, the refrigerator is full of what he likes to eat."

At this time, Du Heng felt something passing by quickly. He walked to the yard and found a light blue barrier appeared in the sky above his head. Xuan Yu, who was holding an umbrella, stood directly above the barrier. When Du Heng went out, Xuan Yu flew down from the air.

Du Heng asked with concern: "Is the barrier good?"

Xuan Yu nodded: "Well, I set up a barrier with the Stone River near the village as the boundary. Before Jing Nan grows a broken tail, unless it is violently broken or I allow it, the monsters outside will not be able to enter."

Du Heng felt relieved: "That's good." Xuan Yu's formation and barrier technique were very powerful. With him in Jing Nan, he would definitely be able to grow a broken tail smoothly.

The temperature gradually increased. In a few days, a layer of non-uniform blue-black mold grew on Du Heng's beans. Du Heng would go to see it two or three times a day in the past few days. If he felt that the temperature of the beans was too high, he would reduce some covering. Seeing that the beans were clustered, he would carefully separate the beans.

Six or seven days later, the Douban in the bamboo wool changed its appearance. When it was put down, it looked like a little jasper. As a result, just one week later, they became dusty and covered with blue-black mold spots. When they were tweeted with their hands, they were covered with mold spots, and mold was flying everywhere in the air.

The Douban was already dry at this time. Du Heng took out the bamboo lily and exposed it to the sun. After two or three days of drying, the moldy Douban could be filled and waited to make the Douban sauce.

Just as Du Heng placed the bamboo lily on the guardrail on the terrace to dry, he saw a round cat head protruding under the bamboo stool in the yard.

Du Heng smiled softly, he went back to the kitchen to wash his hands, then took out a small bowl of milk and placed it on the ground on the eaves of the corridor. He had an extra bamboo branch in his hand, and one end of the bamboo branch tied the breasts that the two little goose replaced with Jing Nan's hair.

Du Heng gently waved the bamboo branches to lure the kitten under the bamboo stool out. That day, he thought the kitten had run away, but later he found that the little guy was actually hiding. Du Heng thought he was already familiar with the house, but he didn't expect that this guy could find a dead corner to avoid his spiritual exploration.

After two or three days, Du Heng found that as long as he walked, there would be a pair of inquiry eyes looking at him. He and Xuan Yu remained silent. They put milk in the bowl and did whatever they should do.

It turns out that something like a cat is a bad thing. When you want to play with it, it ignores you. When you ignore it, it will rub your hands secretly. Du Heng teased in the corridor for a while, but the kitten was unmoved. Du Heng threw the bamboo branch on the ground in frustration, and he turned back to the room.

As a result, when he looked through the window, the kitten had already come out. It was lying on the ground, holding the goose feathers and stuffing it into its mouth, while its hind legs were kicking the goose feathers. The kitten seemed to have a deep hatred with the goose feathers, and within a short while the pitiful goose feathers were bitten.

The kitten threw down the goose feather with satisfaction. It drank two sips of milk and went to the corner again. Du Heng thought this was a good phenomenon. Cats were willful, at least now they could accept the cat-knitting stick. They might be able to come out to find someone to touch them in a while.

The little goose grew up and were noisy in the yard every day, which made people feel a headache. Xuan Yu built a bamboo hut for them in the spiritual field at the door. The little goose quickly knew that it was their nest and would automatically go to the nest to sleep every night. Therefore, the courtyard has become much more purified in the past few days.

The barrier in the village is very safe after it rises. Every year, I and Xiaoxiao will protect the goose well. Da Chao and Xiao Wutong are both obedient and good dogs, and they will not attack the goose. The only thing you need to worry about is the kitten, but the current combat effectiveness of the fist-sized cat is not as good as the goose. The goose are safe for the time being!

Du Heng felt that the climate in the village was a bit similar to that in his hometown. Not long after the beans were sunburned, the plum rain season came. The drizzle dripping rain continued, and it was stuffy and hot outside. Fortunately, there were formations and barriers at home, otherwise the things at home would definitely grow hair.

The plum rain lasted for more than half a month and became restless. However, when the plum rain passed, the hot summer officially debuted.

As the temperature rose, Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao were half dead. Jing Nan couldn't even eat food these days, and he didn't want to eat the old duck soup that Du Heng stewed him seriously. Xiaoxiao lies in the living room these two days and doesn't want to move.

The sun was scorching outside, and the ground that was roasted so hard that it was so stuffy and hot. Everyone at home had no appetite, and Du Heng felt inexplicably anxious.

The plum blossoms come into the cravings as soon as they come out. Although the cravings are not very friendly to crops and most animals, some things can only be made during the cravings, such as drying bean paste.

Early in the morning, Du Heng took out the moldy bean paste before entering the plum blossoms, sifted away most of the mold spots and crushed bean paste, and the preserved bean paste was covered with a layer of blue-black mold, which looked like a bronze ware with green mold.

Du Heng put the Doubans in the water and washed them a little. He only washed them once, otherwise it would be meaningless if the molds that were cultivated with great effort were washed away. After washing the Douban, the water was dark, and the Doubans returned to some original color.

Xuan Yu walked to the terrace and brought Du Heng a clean bamboo li. Xuan Yu kissed Du Heng on the cheek. He asked Du Heng slowly, "Do you feel better?" Du Heng nodded with a smile: "Well, it's much better."

It was embarrassing to say that Du Heng pulled Xuan Yu to have fun last night, but Xuan Yu was not happy yet, but Du Heng fainted when his eyes rolled, which scared Xuan Yu so much that he asked eighteen times in the morning.

Xuan Yu rubbed Du Heng's waist, and he raised his hand to make a small formation above Du Heng's head. This formation is very cute. When Du Heng raised his head, he could see a small white cloud above his head. This white cloud blocked the scorching sun.

In fact, Xuanyu can keep the world in the barrier at the same temperature at all times, but Jing Nan said that if some spiritual plants cannot absorb enough light and heat, their medicinal properties will be greatly reduced. For Jing Nan's spiritual plants, everyone can only endure temporary heat.

Xuan Yu said gently: "I'll make porridge at noon? Don't work too hard."

Du Heng spread the Doubans on the bamboo shore and hung them on the drying: "It's not okay to drink porridge all the time. Even if you and I can stand it, Lao Dao and the others can't stand it. If you think about it, there must be something that will make everyone's appetite."

When Du Heng spread all the beans, Du Heng finally remembered two things suitable for summer. Du Heng smiled and said, "Let's eat cold noodles and cold skin?"

When Du Heng walked to the kitchen downstairs, Xiaoxiao stuck to the ground like a cake. When he felt that the ground under him was warmed up, he rolled around and moved to the side to continue heating.

Du Heng didn’t understand very well: “Don’t there be a formation at home? It should be very cool. And Xiaoxiao is a demon cultivator of the fire system, why is it so hot and uncomfortable?”

Xuan Yu explained: "Because Xiaoxiao's spiritual roots are damaged, although his spiritual roots are damaged, the demon pill is still there. The demon fire in his body will spread to the whole body without the constraints of the spiritual roots. The feeling is very tormenting, and the heat cannot be resisted by the effect of the formation in the room.

"And the higher the temperature outside, the more active the demon pill in Xiaoxiao's body, as the fire phoenix, is, and the demon fire emitted is stronger. Feng Gui used to find him a cold pond. Although he could temporarily suppress the demon fire in his body, Xiaoxiao would get sick if he was cold and hot. Once he almost disappeared, and Feng Gui never dared to do so again."

After hearing this, Du Heng couldn't help but curse: "Jinghong is really sick, and she made Xiaoxiao become like this for a man."

This was the first time Du Heng expressed his opinion. Before, he felt that everyone had their own difficulties. He only saw the pain of the Jinghong breaking the spiritual root and continuing the spiritual root. At that time, this girl was really stupid. Xiaoxiao was very lively at that time. Du Heng felt that even if he lost his spiritual root, Xiaoxiao could be a happy little monster without illness or disaster.

Now he just wants to slap himself. Xiaoxiao, who has no spiritual roots, has to endure such suffering every year. How painful it should be for Xiaoxiao.

Looking at Xiaoxiao's wilted look, Du Heng squatted down and touched Xiaoxiao's head: "Be good, I'll make you cold skin. It's so cold and sour, you must like to eat it." Xiaoxiao doesn't like to eat recently, and she looks like she loses weight.

Xiaoxiao chirped in disgust. The sound was soft, so how could it be as lively as usual?

He was dry as soon as he said that, Du Heng went to the refrigerator to get two kilograms of flour. He first added a spoonful of salt to the flour, and then kneaded the dough into a ball with cold water. After kneading the dough, it took a stick of incense to wake up. Du Heng covered the dough with a piece of gauze.

Just as he was kneading the dough, he thought of a good thing to relieve heat. Why did he forget about the popsicles that he had eaten since he was a child?

Du Heng took half a pound of pure milk, half a pound of light cream, three ounces of condensed milk and a little starch. He placed all these ingredients in the casserole and cooked them carefully. When the ingredients in the pot became thicker, he dipped them in a little bit of ingredients and licked them.

The milk smells very strong and the sweetness is just right. Just pour them into the mold and you can ice it.

The mold is made of chicken-shaped molds for making cakes. After carefully cleaning the mold, Du Heng inserted a flat bamboo stick diagonally next to each mold. He poured the dairy products in the pot into the mold, but the dairy products he prepared were insufficient. He only poured ten chicken molds, and the dairy products were gone.

This is not a problem for Du Heng, and Du Heng can also make old popsicles!

Old popsicles are easier to use. Add an appropriate amount of rice noodles to the water, then add milk and sugar, cook it on the heat and cool it down and put it in the mold. If you have mint oil at home, you can also add two drops of mint oil to it. This way, the old popsicles tastes cool, Du Heng liked this old popsicles when he was a child.

Xuan Yu looked at the milky white paste cooked by Du Heng, and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Du Heng scooped up a spoonful with a spoon and handed it to Xuan Yu’s lips. Xuan Yu took a sip: “Well… rice smoky? Sweet rice smoky?”

Du Heng smiled and shook his head: "It's rice paste now, and it will turn into ice after freezing. People in our hometown love to eat such ice cubes to relieve heat in the summer. Recently, everyone has no appetite, I think everyone is just hot. Do you think the sweetness is okay?"

Xuan Yu nodded: "It's pretty good, sweet and not greasy." It's great to drink it directly.

It's time for Xuan Yu to appear again. The dairy products in the mold need to be cooled before they can be used to go to the refrigerator, but with Xuan Yu waved his hand, a layer of white frost appeared on the mold.

Du Heng felt that Xuanyu could completely replace the refrigerator, but Xuanyu was also very hard in hot weather. Why did he waste Xuanyu's spiritual energy when he could use the refrigerator?

Soon, Du Heng sent the mold of popsicles to the refrigerator to freeze. He looked at the time and after making the two popsicles, he had almost woken up, so he could wash his face.

Press the dough into a dough and spread it flat in the basin. Du Heng added water that was covered with dough into the basin. The so-called dough is to treat the dough as a piece of clothing, rub it and knead it, and wash out the white dough inside its belly. This is a meticulous and a kung fu job.

When I washed it for the first time, the dough broke apart in the water. Du Heng worked hard for a while before gathering them together again.

The dough gathered was sparse, and the water used to wash the dough was as white as milk. Du Heng took a wooden basin to filter out the water, and then he continued to ask Xuan Yu to add water to the wooden basin. The dough in his hand was rubbed and kneaded like clothes, folded and pulled open.

If anyone is in a bad mood, he will wash his face... his mood will probably be even worse.

With the help of spiritual energy, Du Heng only rubbed the water in the basin to become clear and transparent. At this time, what was left in his palm was a milky yellow sticky gluten ball, and Du Heng's facial washing results were placed in another wooden basin.

It was a pot of milky white dough. Du Heng and others would put the dough on the eaves of the corridor to let Xuan Yu open the acceleration formation. He only needed the white dough below after the dough was separated, and the water on it would be deducted.

A stool was placed under the eaves of the corridor, and a wooden basin was placed on the stool. Xuan Yu drew a formation on the wooden basin. As soon as the formation was activated, Du Heng saw that the water in the basin had changed significantly. He saw that the water on the upper layer had changed from turbidity to transparent, and a layer of milky white slurry appeared on the bottom layer.

If the slurry is collected and dried, it will be starch. Du Heng used this method to cut potato taro before to separate starch. However, Du Heng did not need raw powder today. He walked to the yard with a wooden basin. He poured the wooden basin slightly, and the water in the middle and upper layers of the wooden basin drifted out.

The slurry in the lower layer tilted slightly, and there was a slightly turbid layer between the upper and lower layers. This layer does not need to be completely poured out. Du Heng needed to leave a little water as the bottom water, and he also had to add a little boiling water to it and stir it evenly.

Du Heng was pouring water, and suddenly he felt that the corner of his robe seemed to have been hooked. He turned his head and saw a silver-gray claw stretching out from behind the stove, which was scratching his robe with silence.

Du Heng chuckled and said, "I don't have time to play with you now, so you can play for a while."

The kitten has grown into a half-big cat, but it is still not very relative. But sometimes when you are in a good mood, Du Heng will touch it a few times, but when you are in a bad mood, Du Heng can't find its shadow.

Du Heng felt that this guy didn't look like a cat after he grew up, but he looked like a rabbit star seen in a zoo.

It has a round head and a round head, two big eyes, and it often staggers one by one when walking. Just looking at this, sometimes I think it is stupid, but it is very fast. Du Heng saw it with his own eyes and bit off a field mouse's neck in one bite. But it has never harassed the goose so far, and Du Heng thinks it should be quite smart.

Du Heng moved the wooden basin to the stove. At this time, most of the water had been added to the pot. When the water boiled, Du Heng could steam the cold skin. Before that, Du Heng had to stir the dough in the wooden basin first.

He scooped half a spoonful of boiling water with one hand and a wooden spoon in the other hand. The wooden spoon quickly stirred the dough in the wooden basin. After precipitation, the dough was a little thick. After the boiling water was put into the dough, some of the dough was scalded into transparent starch pieces. Fortunately, Du Heng's hand speed was fast. As he stirred quickly, the transparent blocks quickly melted.
