Arrange it and place it in a well-ventilated and sunny place to start drying.

Lin Xu asked:

"How long does this have to dry?"

"It only takes two or three days. The longer it is left to dry, the sweeter it will be."

"Then I can't eat today, right?"

Lin Xu was waiting to taste the dried sweet potatoes cooked in this way, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to eat them today. Fortunately, the dried pumpkins have been roasted and are being steamed in the steaming cabinet.

Wait for it to be steamed thoroughly and then bake for a while before you can taste it.

He took a kitchen knife and was going to peel off all the remaining pumpkins, cut them into small pieces, and start making pumpkin candies. He had to do this before leaving.

Pumpkin candy is friendly to the elderly. It can effectively control the three highs, clear away heat and diuresis, and is also helpful for endocrine systems, but you should not eat too much.

After all, this is sugar, and it is fructose that is most easily absorbed by humans. Eating too much will damage the body.

When Chen Meijuan heard that her son wanted to eat, she said:

"You make some charcoal and put it under the bamboo curtain. It doesn't need to be too big. Just a little warmth will speed up the evaporation of the dried sweet potatoes. If it's fast, you can eat it today."

Lin Xu said:

"I'd better put it in the oven to make some. Potions may have been added during the production of these bamboo curtains, so there's no need to take risks."

He came to the kitchen with the cut sweet potato slices, put them in the oven, and started baking them.

At this time, the dried pumpkins in the steaming cabinet had been steamed. As soon as he took them out, he smelled the unique sweet fragrance of pumpkins, which was very comfortable and even healing.

After a morning of baking, the dried pumpkin has become much smaller and thinner.

Lin Xu tasted a piece, and it tasted good, fragrant and sweet, but the texture was too bad, like eating a soaked pumpkin biscuit.

Looks like I still need to bake it.

Use chopsticks to take out the dried pumpkins from the steaming tray and place them on a bamboo grate to dry.

Then take all the remaining pumpkins to the kitchen and start making pumpkin candy.

This is a time-consuming process.

The pumpkin must be thoroughly boiled into a paste, then filtered, and then the pumpkin soup must be boiled continuously. When the water is almost boiled, the pumpkin candy will be successfully made.

With nothing to do, Lin Xu washed the pumpkin seeds he had just dug out.

After washing it, he brought over the salt for making salt-baked pumpkin in the morning. He did not start cooking directly, but first put some tangerine peel and other spices into the pot.

Saute until fragrant, remove from the salt, and add pumpkin seeds.

The reason for doing this is because if the spices are left in the pot, they are likely to burn out, so use a colander to filter out the aroma after frying, and don't be careless.

If the spices are burned in the salt, then not only the spices will be lost, but also a whole pot of salt and the pumpkin seeds that were finally washed out.

After doing this, he took the fried pumpkin seeds outside to dry.

Then I squatted in front of the oven and looked carefully at the sweet potato slices being baked inside.

I remember that when I first put it in, the sweet potato slices inside were white, but now they have turned a bit burnt yellow.

The size of sweet potato slices has also become much smaller.

Not only has it become thinner, but it has also shrunk a lot, somewhat similar to the dried sweet potatoes sold.

But the difference is that the pumpkins that are not yet sold in a color close to orange are dried well. At first, Lin Xu thought it was because of insufficient firepower, but now it seems that it should be because of the pigment used by the merchants.

Wait until the sweet potatoes are dry-roasted, take them out, put them in a basket to cool, and put the dried pumpkins in for baking.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Xu picked up a piece of dried sweet potato and put it into his mouth.

Not to mention, the taste is really sweet, the texture is chewy, and the sweet flavor of sweet potatoes is very rich.

“Delicious!”

He looked at the pumpkin being cooked in the pot and estimated that it would take at least half an hour. He filled a bag with some dried sweet potatoes, grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds, told his mother, and strolled to the reservoir.<

/p>

"We're almost at the shore, keep paddling!"

Shen Jiayue led two cousins ​​to row in the reservoir for a long time, and almost got stuck in the reeds on the west bank and couldn't get out.

After finally getting out, the three of them had lost all their strength. Only Dundun was still standing on the bow of the ship with his head held high, like a pirate captain preparing to go ashore to plunder.

When Lin Xu came to the shore while eating melon seeds, the three of them reluctantly reached the shore.

He grabbed the cable and pulled the boat over. The three people and the cat all came ashore and tied them firmly to the wooden piles on the shore.

"The dried sweet potatoes are ready. Try it. It tastes very good."

Shen Jiayue: "..."

Xu Bao, did you do this on purpose?

We rowed hard just to digest the sweet potatoes in our stomachs. Now we finally feel a little hungry, and you tempted us with dried sweet potatoes.

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

She was about to protest, but changed her mind when she smelled dried sweet potatoes.

Well, it’s not easy to deliver Xubao all the way, so I’ll reluctantly help him check it. Who makes me the executive chef of Linji Food?

That's where the responsibility lies.

She picked up a piece of dried sweet potato and put it into her mouth. She felt the strong texture and sweet taste, and her eyes suddenly lit up:

"Wow, it's delicious. You guys should try it too. It's super delicious."

Shen Jiayue not only gave Xiaolei and Shi Moli a slice, but also tore off a small strip for Dundun, who immediately started eating it happily.

While they were eating, Chen Shaokang and the others also finished eating and strolled over from the direction of the sluice.

Xiaoxun also held several eels in his hand, and he didn’t know how they caught them.

"Xiaoxun, Shaokang, dried sweet potatoes are ready. They are super delicious. Come and try them."

Xiaoxun turned his face and looked at Chen Shaokang:

"Would you like to jump into the reservoir?"

"If you say you won't eat, you won't eat. After all, we are still fourteen-year-old men, so we keep our word!"

Several people came over, and Lin Xu took the dried sweet potatoes in the bag and handed them over:

"Try it, it's very delicious. Xiaobin will bring some to school tomorrow to supplement sugar and physical energy. It will help you study."

"Thank you, cousin!"

Lin Bin didn't want to feel bad about himself, so he picked up a piece and tasted it, and felt that it tasted really good.

Xiaoxun pinched two pieces and brought them to Chen Shaokang:

"Young man, do you really not want to eat paper? This is made by my aunt and cousin... Well, it tastes really good. It's so enjoyable to chew. Wow, the more you chew, the better it tastes."

He ate sizzlingly on purpose.

That exaggerated expression made Chen Shaokang's face full of black lines.

Are you excited?

Believe it or not, I will push your little fat guy into the water?

After muttering, a certain fourteen-year-old man took the dried sweet potato and started eating it.

As soon as he took a bite, Xiaoxun asked:

"Didn't you say that you would rather jump into a reservoir than eat a bite?"

"Yes, so I ate several bites... Not to mention, these dried sweet potatoes are really sweet and fragrant. Fortunately, Sangu made some more. When they are ready, I will take some to school to take the Central Finance and Economics exam. It all depends on

These sweet potatoes are dry..."

After eating a piece of dried sweet potato, Chen Shaokang picked up another piece and asked Lin Xu:

"Is my cousin going back to the capital tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will leave early tomorrow morning. You study hard at home. I will come back when the spring flowers bloom and I will prepare delicious food for you then."

"Thank you, cousin!"

Lin Xu handed the bag in his hand to Shen Jiayue, then hugged Dundun in his arms, and everyone walked back.

Back in the restaurant, the dried pumpkins had been roasted. Lin Xu brought them out for everyone to try. They all thought they were delicious, even as good as dried sweet potatoes.

It's a pity that it's a bit small and there aren't as many dried sweet potatoes.

Next, Lin Xu made pumpkin candies, and taught Shi Wenming how to pickle salted duck and the subsequent steps. He also roasted all the crucian carp fished out in the morning into small dried fish, ready to be put into glass jars and brought back to the capital.

Give it to Dundun.

In addition to dried fish, Chen Meijuan also packed some home-made air-dried bacon. These were made before the winter solstice and have been completely prepared by now. Whether they are stewed or fried, they taste good.
