Chapter 409 The Best Rice in the World
Chapter 409 409. The best rice in the world
What does delicious rice look like?
The old Song family originally grew indica rice from the south, which has a harder taste. In addition, the selection of varieties is mediocre, so the taste is really bad, on the same level as the rice in the supermarket that costs one or two yuan a pound.
But this year Song Tan came to plant rice. Considering that his family was old, he chose japonica rice, which is often available in the north.
Japonica rice is shorter and fatter, with a soft, delicate and sweet taste. Except for making egg fried rice, which is worse than indica rice, everything else is pretty good.
The most important thing is that in order to grow two crops of rice this year, their family planted rice seedlings earlier than normal.
Japonica rice will be more cold-resistant, and the amylopectin structure will appear sweeter under large temperature differences...
In short, adapt to local conditions.
Because of this, Song Sancheng muttered for a long time, and the central idea was just one -
Over the years, he was used to eating hard rice and didn't like the soft and sticky rice.
What's more, based on their farm experience decades ago, harder rice will make you hungrier.
It was Song Tan's words that convinced him:
"Dad, twenty years ago when you were harvesting rice, you had to pick it home in bundles. Now we have machines, and our family also hires people to do endless jobs... Qiao Qiao is already so old, you won't return it Imagine how hard we worked when we were kids, right?”
"Eat something soft, which is less burdensome on the stomach and intestines."
No, this is the kind of rice popsicles that are rolling in the blazing pot.
The fragrance of rice permeated the entire courtyard, making everyone feel a little restless.
Even though Song Tan had just neatly chopped up a few watermelons to satisfy everyone's appetite, some people still stood at the door involuntarily, their noses twitching like hungry puppies.
After smelling it, the female classmate returned to the living room emotionally, and then sighed:
"How can I say that the fruits of my own labor are the best? It's probably because I worked really hard today. Why does tonight's meal smell so sweet to me?"
"Just this rice, I can finish three big bowls of it just from the smell!"
Normally, this would be an exaggerated joke. But everyone thought about the chubby belly after eating for lunch, and they all became curious again:
"How sweet is it?"
The female classmate waved her hand: "The smell in the living room is not even one-tenth of the smell outside."
"I'll go smell it too!"
"I'll go too! I don't have much work to do today. I'm just trying to catch a fish. I have to see if the filter has disappeared..."
Two classmates ran out.
Everyone waited for a while and found that no one came back. Turning around again——
"Good guy, Chen Zhou, you're eating secretly in the kitchen!"
"I didn't eat it secretly!"
The old classmate was also single and blocked the door of the kitchen: "This smell is too fragrant. Can't I stand over and take a few more whiffs?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other, and then they all rushed to the door.
Then he paused again.
They looked at me and at you: "Why do I feel... the sweetness of this rice doesn't seem to be the result of our own labor?"
It smells so good.
The sweetness of rice is difficult to describe in words. It is a smell that makes people feel like they are pressed from the heart to the stomach...
The saliva...the saliva is coming out! Everyone struggled to maintain their sanity.
In fact, rice contains most starch, which is not high in nutrients. Eating too many carbohydrates will make you fat.
But……
“If you don’t eat carbs, you will become stupid, and I really love rice!”
"Me too!"
"Oh, let's lose weight tomorrow. I exercised today -"
As soon as he said this, someone else rushed to the kitchen door.
Just then, the rice in the big pot was boiling and the seventh cousin was scooping out the rice soup with a ladle.
The simple stainless steel basin was filled with milky white rice soup. If everyone hadn't been reserved and didn't step through the kitchen door, they would have drooled into the basin.
The seventh cousin also plans to make soup from this rice soup!
At this moment, he also took a deep breath: "Tan Tan has a way of growing things! Look, this rice is not the same thing as what we used to eat."
He tilted his beard proudly at Grandma Qi: "How about it? Go back to your hometown and enjoy your life. If I hadn't had the skills, where would I have eaten such good food!"
People who eat it will be light and healthy, and they will be happy every day, even if they are given to gods.
Grandma Qi also swallowed.
But she was old, and her thoughts were a bit burdened. She looked at the crowd of people standing at the door, but she didn't say anything about drinking a bowl of rice soup first.
It wasn't until the seventh cousin filled the rice soup that it was almost full and put the lid back on the pot, the tangy aroma of the rice subsided a little.
Just a little, not much.
Looking at the people standing at the door, he simply waved a large spoon and said: "Come on, go get the bowl. I'll give you a bowl of rice soup to warm your stomach."
Even though we were sweating profusely on this hot day, no one thought it was a problem to warm their stomachs. At this moment, he turned around and shouted loudly: "Song Tan, where are your bowls and chopsticks?"
Song Tan came over to take a look - although she was a little greedy, the old classmates were very easy to kill.
It's just rice soup, drink whatever you want.
"I'll get it. It's in the dining room cupboard—"
Before she even lifted her feet, some classmates rushed in impatiently, and soon came out with a whole pack of disposable bowls.
So, everyone in the family filled their bowls.
The milky white rice soup rippled slightly in the brown paper bowl. Everyone didn't mind the heat, and they were reluctant to move back to the living room for fear of spilling a little bit of the rice soup on the way...
Instead, he stood in the courtyard with a faint blue night sky, blowing his breath.
Aunt Lianhua knew about Xin Jun. Seeing that several young men had been unable to come out of the house all day, Aunt Lianhua carried an enamel tray from an unknown age with Double Happiness and three full bowls of soup.
In the kitchen, the considerate seventh cousin had already used several large bowls to set aside a separate portion.
At this point, the large pot of soup had the students drinking it while blowing the hot air and "sizzling".
It made Song Tan dumbfounded——
Conscience, this is really not the process she arranged! After all, Fairy Tan admitted that although she was picky, she didn't take it into account.
"I just finished eating watermelon and drank rice soup. I filled my stomach with water. Are you still eating tonight?"
“Must eat!”
"That's right! I'll eat the rice I threshed with my own hands no matter what!"
"If nothing else, I can eat three big bowls of this rice!" "I want to eat crispy rice."
"I want to eat, too……"
Okay, the soup has just been eaten, and everyone is chatting and getting greedy again.
Even Song Tan was speechless.
I had no choice but to rush them into the living room: "Don't stay here, go and take a rest. Aren't you tired from the day?"
It wasn't until everyone entered the house that she slowly wandered into the kitchen, then took a sip of her own bowl.
how to say?
Very touching.
It’s been half a year since I came back, and today I can enjoy a bowl of rice.
The seventh cousin is still thinking: "Next year I have to plant more rice, some glutinous rice, and some indica rice. The good indica rice is not bad, it just has a different texture - I will make egg fried rice later, it will be particularly delicious."
Today I read a book called "After being hacked all over the Internet, I passed the postgraduate entrance examination at Tsinghua University." The story about the fast-paced entertainment industry with a fun heroine... has a very green river feel, good hahaha.
…
besides. And the update will be very late, so you can watch it tomorrow morning.
Start working out tomorrow! Everyone wishes me to hold on!
