God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Chapter 50 Making Sweet Potato Flour

Early the next morning, when everyone was having breakfast, Lu Tingyan couldn't hold back her impulse and mentioned the making of sweet potato vermicelli.

"Mom, I have an idea. I want to lead Lujia Village towards prosperity." Lu Tingyan said excitedly.

Su smiled slightly and responded gently: "Yan'er, this is not a joke."

Doctor Lu cast a doting look at her and asked softly, "Yan'er, do you have a good idea?"

Jun Moyuan looked determined and said with undoubted faith: "Yan'er, if you have a good idea, please tell everyone as soon as possible."

"We can try making sweet potato vermicelli. The process is not complicated." Lu Tingyan answered confidently.

Su looked puzzled, stared at her daughter, and asked, "Sweet potato vermicelli? What on earth is that?"

Lu Tingyan quickly explained: "Mom, sweet potato vermicelli is a food made from sweet potato starch. It has a smooth taste and is loved by the people. I happen to know the method of making sweet potato vermicelli, so why not give it a try."

Su was still a little worried and said, "Will this work? We have never made this before."

Lu Tingyan smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I got this method from Miaomiao, it must be reliable."

Su nodded and said, "Okay, let's give it a try. But we don't have extra sweet potatoes at home?"

Lu Tingyan smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. We can give it a try first. If the results are good, we can open a workshop to specialize in making sweet potato vermicelli. This will not only increase the family income, but also help the villagers get rich."

Su thought her daughter's words made sense, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's give it a try. How much sweet potato vermicelli do you think we need?"

Lu Tingyan thought for a moment and said, "Mom, let's make some and try it out. I estimate we'll need more than ten kilograms of sweet potato starch."

Su said, "More than ten kilograms of sweet potato starch? How many sweet potatoes do we need?"

Lu Tingyan said: "Mom, I think I'll need more than 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes."

After hearing this, Su's eyes widened in shock, and she stammered, "More than a hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes? How much land do you need to plant to harvest so much?"

Lu Tingyan smiled and comforted Su, "Mom, don't worry! We can go to the village and ask around. Maybe some villagers will be willing to sell us some sweet potatoes!"

Su sighed and said helplessly: "Well, okay! Then I can only go and ask."

At this time, Doctor Lu looked at his daughter lovingly and said, "Leave this matter to your father! I'll go ask someone."

Lu Tingyan was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Daddy!"

Su also nodded in agreement: "Then let's get started! Tell me how to make vermicelli first, and I'll try to make it."

Lu Tingyan nodded obediently, and then taught Su the production method in detail.

After listening carefully, Su felt that this method was not difficult, so he said, "Well, I understand. Let's do it!"

After that, Lu Tingyan and Su walked into the kitchen together, and prepared to make sweet potato vermicelli with the sweet potatoes at home. The two of them had a clear division of labor and cooperated well. Lu Tingyan was responsible for washing the sweet potatoes. She carefully washed the dirt on the surface of the sweet potatoes, fearing that there would be a trace of residue. Su was responsible for cutting the sweet potatoes into small pieces. She was skilled and cut every piece just right. (In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Tingyan was still hurt)

The cut sweet potatoes were put into the pot and boiled with water. While waiting, Su and Lu Tingyan chatted and shared interesting stories in life. Time passed by, and the sweet potatoes were finally cooked.

Su used a colander to scoop out the cooked sweet potatoes and put them into a large basin. Lu Tingyan picked up a spoon and pressed the sweet potatoes into a paste. This was not an easy task, but she did it very seriously, as if she was carving a work of art.

Then, Su added a proper amount of starch to the sweet potato puree and added some water. Lu Tingyan began to stir it, her arms waving constantly, and gradually, the sweet potato puree and starch were fully integrated and turned into a soft dough.

Then, they put the dough on the chopping board and kneaded it into long strips. Then, they cut the long strips into even small pieces. These small pieces look like cute little bugs, which makes people want to laugh.

The cut pieces were put back into the pot and cooked again. This time, Su herself cooked, carefully watching the heat to make sure the vermicelli was cooked just right.

Finally, the cooked vermicelli was taken out and soaked in cold water. Lu Tingyan gently stirred the vermicelli to let them cool down. After a while, the vermicelli became more chewy and elastic.

Su looked at the sweet potato vermicelli in front of her and couldn't believe her eyes. She excitedly pulled up a vermicelli and savored the delicious taste. The taste and chewiness were no less delicious than the noodles made of flour sold in the market. She couldn't help but sigh, "Is this really made by us?"

Lu Tingyan smiled and nodded, with a proud light in her eyes. This successful attempt made them full of confidence in the future. Perhaps, in the near future, they can use this craft to create their own business! Lu Tingyan smiled and said, "Mom, of course we made it. Try it, how does it taste?"

Su took a bite and found it delicious: "Well, it tastes really good. We can sell it." She smiled with satisfaction, as if she had seen a bright future.

Lu Tingyan nodded and said in agreement: "Mom, we can make some first and give it to the villagers to taste. If they think it tastes good, we can open a workshop to specialize in making sweet potato vermicelli. This will not only solve the livelihood problem of the family, but also allow more people to taste this delicious food."

Mrs. Su thought her daughter's idea was great and couldn't help but praise her: "What a good idea! You are worthy of being my good daughter. Let's get started." So the mother and daughter started to get busy.

In the following days, Lu Tingyan and Su were busy making sweet potato vermicelli all day and all night. They carefully selected high-quality sweet potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut them into pieces, and then went through multiple processes to turn the sweet potatoes into fine sweet potato paste. Then, they used their skillful techniques to make the paste into thin vermicelli and hung them on the drying pole to dry.

When the sweet potato vermicelli was made, Su happily took the fruits of his labor and gave them to the villagers from door to door for them to taste.

After tasting it, the villagers praised it highly: "This vermicelli has a smooth texture and delicious taste. It's so delicious!"

"You guys are really clever!"

"I must buy some to take home for my family to try."...Hearing these praises, Su felt very happy and full of a sense of accomplishment.

After Lu Tingyan successfully made sweet potato vermicelli, she received unanimous praise from the villagers. So, Lu Tingyan suggested that her mother find sister Wan'er to open a shop together to promote the sweet potato vermicelli.

As night fell and the lights came on, the family sat around the dinner table. Lu Tingyan looked at her father, Doctor Lu, with a firm gaze and said softly, "Dad, after dinner, please go find the village head and buy a piece of land. We are going to build a workshop. Remember to go to the government office to register and ensure that everything is legal and compliant. And mother and brother Yuan will go to sister Wan'er to discuss the relevant matters of cooperation."

Doctor Lu nodded slightly to show that he understood, and replied with a smile: "Okay, my dear daughter. Daddy will do it right away, and will not let you down."

Su gently stroked Lu Tingyan's hair, her eyes full of love, and said softly: "Mother knows, she will go with Yuan'er tomorrow. As for you, stay at home and rest well."

At this time, Lu Tianxuan stood up and patted his chest like a little adult and promised: "Dad, Mom, don't worry! I will accompany my sister well tomorrow and will never let her feel bored or lonely."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard Lu Tianxuan's tender but firm words. The laughter echoed in the room, full of warmth and harmony. Although this family faced various challenges, they cared for and supported each other and worked together to pursue a better future.
