Kneading the dough repeatedly takes a lot of effort, but there is still one last very important step left, which is to press the powder.
Lin Yunchu lamented that there were no machines here, otherwise there would be no need to go through so much trouble. Fortunately, Lin's father's carpentry skills were pretty good, and he listened to her describe what she wanted for making vermicelli noodles.
She made a wooden sieve that she had at hand. Although it was not as effective as modern machines, it was almost the same as a substitute, it just took more effort.
Lin Yunchu first asked his mother to boil a pot of water in the kitchen. He found a clean large wooden basin, filled it half with cold water, and brought it to the stove. Seeing that the water in the pot was almost boiling, he began the final step of making potato flour.
Put the kneaded flour into the wooden sieve that Lin's father helped make, and press it hard. Then, long and thin washed noodles are pressed out and slowly fall into the pot of boiling water.
Lin Yunchu took the chopsticks prepared on the side and gently stirred the thin noodles that fell into the pot. After they were cooked, he used a small colander to scoop out all the thin noodles in the pot, put them into the cold water just prepared, and stirred them again with chopsticks.
Looking at the chewy vermicelli noodles that had been formed, Lin Yunchu smiled. The potato flour was finally made successfully.
"Okay, just take the cold-water vermicelli noodles out to the wooden racks prepared in the yard to dry them in the sun."
Lin Yunchu pointed to the vermicelli noodles that had been rinsed with cold water in the basin and said, and the people on the side listened attentively.
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the vermicelli that Lin Yunchu had rinsed with cold water and hung them in the yard to dry. Lin Yunchu had already explained the method to them just now.
The method is not difficult, it just takes some effort, and you have to be careful not to let the vermicelli stick together when drying.
Everyone in the Lin family divided the work and started working together. After Lin Yunchu pressed all the flour into vermicelli and rinsed it with cold water, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There didn't seem to be many potatoes left, but she saw that there were quite a few vermicelli made from them. After they were dried, there would be at least 20 to 30 kilograms. She would then send some to the Xue Mansion and Manager Zhou in the town for them to try.
If they think it’s good, then we can start making potato flour after this season’s potato harvest.
Lin Yunchu secretly reconfirmed his idea in his heart. If this method could work, then the potatoes grown by everyone in Qingxi Village would have a new market channel in the future.
Finally, Lin Yunchu left a ball of potato vermicelli, rinsed it with cold water, added a little oil and mixed it to prevent the potato vermicelli from sticking together. She planned to cook some of this later and let everyone in the Lin family taste it first to see how it tasted.
After everyone in the Lin family carefully dried all the vermicelli, the yard was already full of them, looking like white curtains.
"Sister, is this really made from those potatoes? It's amazing. I really want to try it and see what it tastes like."
Lin Changan looked up at the potato vermicelli hanging out to dry with a look of curiosity on his face.
"Yeah, if I hadn't seen Yun Chu make it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that these were made from potatoes grown in our fields."
"Yun Chu, how many days do we have to wait before we can eat this?"
Lin Changting has always been the calmest person, but seeing this, he couldn't help but want to try what the vermicelli made from potatoes tasted like.
Lin Yunchu turned around and saw that everyone in the Lin family was looking at her with curiosity, as if they all wanted to know the answer to this question. She couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"It still needs to be air-dried for a few days. Once it's dried, it can be kept for a long time. It will taste great in hot pot in winter."
Unfortunately, now that the weather has turned warmer, we no longer eat hot pot at home, but there are many ways to eat potato noodles.
Lin Yunchu changed his tone and continued, "But I left some behind just now. I can cook it for you all to taste in the evening."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed. It seemed that Lin Yunchu knew what they were thinking and it really touched their hearts.
After finishing the potato vermicelli work, Lin's father and Lin Changting left the yard and went to Lin Qingshan's house. Yesterday, Lin Qingshan said that his family was also thinking of building a few pig pens.
When the time comes, just like the Lin family, he will catch two piglets and raise them, and then raise some chickens. If cows weren't so expensive, Lin Qingshan would even want to buy a cow.
Looking at the Lin family's cows, I was really envious. However, now that the spring plowing was over, there was no need to rush for the cows. I would wait until my family caught two piglets and brought them back to raise.
If we raise some more chickens, we will have enough eggs at home. This year, we will go into the mountains with the Lin family to pick mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots. Next year, we will save more money and buy a cow for ourselves.
I saw that the cowshed and pigpen built by the Lin family were made of stone. They were sturdy and beautiful, and could be used for many years.
Lin Qingshan also planned to build a few pig pens with stones and mud like the Lin family. After Lin Wenshan and Lin Changting finished their own affairs, they took Lin Changshun to their eldest brother's house to help.
With more people around, things can get done faster, and with the experience from the first time, we will definitely be more comfortable this time.
Lin's mother and Pan Xiuxiu went out again and said they were going to pick wild vegetables. The wild vegetables in this season are fresh and tender. While they have free time, they should dig more wild vegetables and make sauerkraut.
At that time, some can be sent to Pan's father, the Lu family, and Lin Qingshan's family. Anyway, it's never too much. Lin Changan couldn't sit still and said he wanted to go fishing in the river with them.
It was too cold the whole winter and they hardly went out. The Lin family hadn't eaten fish for a long time. Thinking of the braised fish made by Lin Yunchu, Lin Changan had been feeling greedy for a long time.
Lin Yunchu watched as the yard became quiet after a while. Looking at the potato vermicelli drying in the yard, he couldn't help but think of the potato harvest in the future, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
After a long time, Lin Yunchu turned and went into the kitchen. Seeing that it was getting late, he had to prepare dinner for tonight quickly.
Remembering that I had some potato flour left over, I steamed less rice in the evening.
After walking around the kitchen for a while, Lin Yunchu planned to make a pork stew with vermicelli, a cold potato vermicelli dish, and finally stir-fry two dishes. That should be enough.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yunchu tied on an apron, scooped some rice into the pot, rinsed it twice, covered it with a lid and started steaming some rice.
Take a piece of pork belly from the side, clean it and cut it into thin slices.
Then he cut the cabbage into strips and set it aside, chopped some green onions and shredded ginger, and cut two dried chilies into small pieces.
Seeing that everything was ready, Lin Yunchu quickly lit the fire, and after the oil in the pot was hot, he poured the freshly cut pork belly into the pot.
