Chapter 2286 Grinding Sweet Potatoes
Sun Yingying also thought so, and she wanted to do more, and bring some to her father.
The second grandmother Bai pointed to the utility room, "There's a graphite in there, you can also push a half-sized graphite!"
Sun Yingying was very happy, called Bai Bai Xiuzhu, and went to the utility room to remove the stone mill.
Sun Yingying began to clean the stone mill, while Bai Xiuzhu and Sun Lanlan's second grandmother Bai cleaned a large pot of sweet potatoes. After washing it, Bai Xiuzhu built the sweet potatoes into small pieces. After all, each sweet potato was too big to put directly into the grinding plate.
Sun Yingying put the sweet potato pieces cut into small pieces into the stone mill, and then turned the stone mill vigorously. After a while, white liquid mixed with juice flowed out, and some sweet potato residues, together with the white starch liquid, came out directly. into the barrel below.
About half an hour later, Sun Yingying had already ground half of the sweet potato, and someone knocked on the door.
Bai Xiuzhu quickly asked, "Who is it?"
Bai Yixiu replied in a low voice, "It's me!"
Bai Xiuzhu got up to open the door, and then saw Bai Yixiu approaching, and quickly asked, "What are you doing here?"
Bai Yixiu came in, "I heard you guys seem to be working, so I came to see and help. Are you grinding tofu?"
Bai Xiuzhu shook her head, "That's not it, we are getting the starch out of the sweet potato flour and preparing to make vermicelli tomorrow."
Bai Yixiu strode over, "Let me do this kind of work in the future, and you can do the lighter work."
Seeing Bai Yixiu coming, Sun Yingying gave the stone mill to Bai Yixiu.
Bai Yixiu's strength was stronger than Sun Yingying's, and his movements were quick and easy.
Sun Yingying poured the ground juices in the bucket into the white cloth supported by the filter frame, with a large basin under it, submerging the bottom of the filter cloth, and then began to rub the crushed sweet potato residues to wash out the sweet potato starch inside. .
After doing this, let it sit for twelve hours.
Seeing that Bai Yixiu was done, "That's all for today?"
Sun Yingying nodded, "Yeah, there's only one big pot today. I'll clean the big pot tomorrow and make more. After the starch is boiled, we can also make sweet potato balls."
Second grandmother Bai said with a smile, "I like it too. I'll make more tomorrow. By the way, the sweet potatoes in our private plot in a few days are not as delicious as these sweet potatoes, so let's use them as flour."
"Okay, just keep more sweet potatoes in the cellar." Sun Yingying smiled, cleaning up those tools while talking.
Bai Yixiu helped clean the stone mill and looked around to see if it was alive. "Then I'll go back. By the way, Yingying, we have to go to the county town tomorrow. My uncle doesn't have time to pick up my fifth uncle."
Sun Yingying nodded, "Okay, anyway, with these sweet potatoes as the base, even if I can't get a lot of food, I'm not afraid anymore."
Grandma Bai thought for a while, "Yingying, don't worry, it won't make you hungry. The fifth man is not stingy, and he knows that it's not easy for you."
"Haha, second grandma, no matter what you eat, it's fine if you're not hungry." Sun Yingying nodded. Last month, she received food from the capital, but it's gone this month. She has to write a letter. to urge.
Even if you don't have food, you will still be disgusted by the Wei family.
Several brothers of the Bai family were very grateful when they saw that Sun Yingying took leave to go to the county seat to see Bai Hongjiang's legs.
