Xie Songlin called Cheng Hui and immediately cut two pieces of thick cloth in the shape of his palms, and sewed the two pieces together to make a pair of simple gloves. Seeing this, Xie Songbai immediately went home and called Qian and others to help make the gloves.
Xie Songlin put on gloves, moved a small stool and sat directly in the yard to start processing the yam.
He skillfully used a knife to peel the yam with gentle and precise movements. The peeled yam revealed white flesh, emitting a faint fragrance. He placed the processed yam in a basket beside him, and then picked up another yam to continue processing it.
Xie Lin and others soaked their hands in vinegar water, and after washing them, they felt less itchy. Seeing Xie Songlin processing the yams they picked, they gathered around him curiously.
Their eyes were fixed on Xie Songlin's movements. Seeing the yams that had originally made them itch to touch gradually become clean and tidy in their father's hands, Xie Lin couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are these yams really edible?"
Xie Songlin smiled slightly and replied, "Of course you can eat it. I'll ask your mother to cook it for you later."
Xie Heng also came over, his little face full of anticipation: "Daddy, what delicious food can be made with yam?"
"Ask your mother to make you some porridge, and then some yam and pork rib soup, both are delicious."
After hearing this, the boys swallowed their saliva and couldn't wait to taste the delicious food made from yam.
After a while, Xie Songbai also hurried over with Qian and Zhou. They were holding some thick cloth and needles and thread in their hands, with curiosity and anticipation on their faces.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw her children gathered around Xie Songlin. Qian asked, "Can these gloves really protect against the poisonous roots?"
Xie Songlin nodded and said, "It really works. Sister-in-law, please make more gloves quickly. Tomorrow we will all go to the mountains to pick yams together."
Qian and Zhou looked at each other with a hint of excitement in their eyes. They looked at the simple gloves on Xie Songlin's hands, immediately found a place to sit down, and began to busily cut the cloth and thread the needle. The thick cloth quickly turned into gloves in their hands.
Xie Wanxing returned to the backyard and went straight into the space. He plucked a handful of mint from the balcony and scattered some on the black soil outside for seeds. Mashing the mint leaves to extract the juice, which could be applied to the hands, was an effective treatment for allergies caused by yam juice.
She hurried back to the front yard with a handful of mint and handed it to Cheng Hui: "Mom, crush these mint leaves and apply them to my brothers' hands. It's useful for treating yam allergies."
Cheng Hui took the mint leaves and went to the kitchen to mash them and put them in a bowl. The refreshing smell made everyone in the yard feel refreshed.
She applied the crushed mint juice to the hands of Xie Lin and the others. The cool feeling instantly made the boys hum in comfort.
Xie Songlin also processed a batch of yams and soaked them directly in a large basin filled with clean water.
"Rinse it twice and wash it several times. We'll make this for dinner today." Cheng Hui brought the washed yams into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Qiuyue and Qiuye followed her in to help.
Cheng Hui stood in the kitchen and began to prepare these yams for today's dinner in an orderly manner.
She washed the fresh ribs and blanched them in boiling water to remove the fishy smell. Qiuyue quickly handed over a colander to help fish out the ribs.
After removing the ribs, add a suitable amount of oil to the pot, heat it up, add the onion, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the ribs to the pot and stir-fry until the surface is slightly yellow. Then add a suitable amount of water, add star anise, cinnamon, and other seasonings, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat.
After the spareribs had been stewed for a while, Cheng Hui put the yam that Qiuyue had cut into segments into the pot and continued stewing. As time passed, the soup in the pot gradually became thicker, and the aroma of the yam and spareribs blended together, filling the entire kitchen.
Cheng Hui also planned to make a delicious yam puree for the children. She first washed and peeled some of the yam, cut it into small pieces and put it into the pot to steam. The yam began to slowly become soft. After the yam was cooked, she took it out and put it into a large bowl. Qiuyue used a wooden pestle to pound the yam into a paste. During the pounding process, the aroma of the yam became more and more intense, and the delicate texture was like silk.
Qiu Ye also came over, looked at it curiously, and helped stir it from time to time. Cheng Hui added a little salt and a little sesame oil, and after stirring evenly, the yam puree was ready.
Finally, she sliced the yam, stir-fried it briefly, and prepared to serve it out and call everyone to eat.
Although there are fewer dishes today, the portions are quite large. Old Lady Shen, Xie Songbai and others stayed here for dinner. When Cheng Hui brought the delicious yam dishes to the table, everyone's attention was attracted.
Xie Songbai was a little surprised: "It smells so good, sister-in-law, is this all made from yam?"
Cheng Hui smiled and nodded: "Yes, brother, you should try it."
Qiuyue used a small bowl to serve everyone a bowl of yam paste. She placed the bowl in front of Old Lady Shen and said, "Old Lady, please try it. This yam paste made by Madam is very fragrant. You have bad teeth, so this is the best thing for you."
Old Lady Shen looked at the pure white and delicate yam paste in front of her. She gently picked up the spoon, scooped a small mouthful and put it into her mouth. The delicate taste and light sweetness instantly spread in her mouth, making her praise: "Hmm, it's really delicious. This yam can be made like this? It's really a good thing."
Xie Songyang also took a piece of stir-fried yam. The refreshing taste and the faint aroma of yam immediately conquered him. His eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but take a few more pieces: "Sister-in-law, this yam is so delicious."
"This yam paste is soft and tasty, and can be eaten by both the elderly and children."
Others also tasted the delicacies made from yam, with satisfied expressions on their faces, and the children's mouths were full of yam paste.
Xie Songbai: "There are so many of these poisonous roots on this mountain, no one dared to eat them. But now, this thing is so delicious, I don't have to worry about not being able to harvest it until next summer."
Old Lady Shen thought for a moment and said, "Songlin, I want to tell the villagers how to eat yam. Is that okay with you?"
Xie Songlin nodded and said, "Of course, Mom, this is a good thing. If we have this yam to eat, it will help the villagers get through this difficult time." He knew very well how important unity and mutual assistance were at this time.
"Then you should go find the village chief tomorrow and ask him to tell this method to other people in the village. No one has much food left. Let's harvest all the yams on the mountain before the New Year." Old Mrs. Shen's words were full of anxiety and worry. She knew very well that taxes had increased this year and food was not available in the city. The villagers were having a hard time, and the food shortage made everyone worried.
Old Mrs. Shen's family is very popular in the village. Xie Songbai and the others are very kind to others, so they have always been well taken care of. Now that she has the opportunity to help the villagers, she will naturally help.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go tomorrow."
