90s little naughty master

Pour the potato starch into a basin, add two bowls of water and stir evenly until the potato starch and water are perfectly blended and become a fine liquid like milk.Pour an appropriate amount of water into the iron pot and boil, then pour the evenly stirred potato starch into the pot.Bring to a simmer.

Tao Yan handed the big iron spoon in his hand to Huo Baichuan: "Keep stirring until it becomes a paste. The jelly you want is ready."

Huo Baichuan stood in front of the stove and wiped off his sweat.

The volunteer aunts stood guard at the door of the kitchen and stretched their necks to look in, wondering what the two kids were up to.

Tao Yan washed and diced the watermelon, peaches and strawberries he just bought from the market, poured them all into a bowl, and in the bowl was half a bottle of honey, and sprinkled crushed peanuts and raisins on top.

Huo Baichuan said loudly: "It's already very viscous, is it okay? Come here and have a look."

Tao Yan put down the work at hand and walked to the stove.I saw that the potato starch in the iron pot had been boiled crystal clear, and it looked like a transparent paste.

Tao Yan nodded in satisfaction, patted Huo Baichuan's sweaty back, and said, "It's done."

Huo Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly scooped the jelly out of the pot, and threw it into the water tank together with the large aluminum basin to cool it down.

"I'll take a shower first." Huo Baichuan wiped the sweat off his brow, and said to Tao Yan.

Tao Yan also felt that his body was sticky and uncomfortable.So he put down the honey jam he had just stirred in his hand, went upstairs with Huo Baichuan back to the dormitory, took a clean change of clothes, and went to the water room to take a cold shower.

Aunt Zhao looked at the backs of the two of them, shook her head and smacked her mouth: "I have to take a bath twice a day. What kind of family can raise such a clean child."

Several other volunteer aunts also nodded and muttered.Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan had just been in the orphanage for two days, and they had already revealed too many things that were different from their peers of the same age.At least for a few volunteer aunts, they have never seen children who live so delicately, know so much, and make money so easily.

Let alone children, the aunts faintly felt that even adults who lived half their lives probably didn't know as much as Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan.

They didn't know what kind of family could raise such a child, and they didn't know why Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan didn't tell the truth to the police and didn't want to go home.But they were actually very fortunate that Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan came to the orphanage.So that they can also clearly feel that the original life can be like this.

"If my son can be as good as the two of them in the future, I will burn incense." Aunt Tao walked around the water tank and honey jam, and couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of fresh food is this? You guys Where did these two children come from? How do they know so much?"

Aunt Zhao washed a few cucumbers, and said while eating: "This morning, when the director of the police station brought two leaders of the city bureau to find Xiao Tao and Xiao Huo, I heard him say something. Xiao Tao last night The Liangpi Roujiamo is a specialty of Qin Province. Maybe these two children are from Qin Province?"

Aunt Tao disapproved: "You can pull it off. I also heard from our neighbor that the Spike potatoes fried by Xiaotao last night are a special product in Sichuan Province. Why don't you say that the two of them are from Sichuan Province?"

"Maybe one is from Qin Province and the other from Sichuan Province?"

"Then how did the two of them know each other?" Aunt Tao continued to ask: "Looking at the two of them chatting, you know that these two children must have known each other since they were young. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so familiar."

Aunt Zhao stopped talking.

Several other volunteer aunts said with a smile: "Let me tell you! The two children are from wherever they like. Let's not ask, and don't make wild guesses. How can we know things that the police at the police station can't ask?" go?"

Upstairs, after taking a shower, Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan sat in the dormitory for a while, feeling that it was almost time, and then slowly went downstairs in slippers.

In the water tank in the corner of the kitchen, the transparent jelly has completely cooled down, emitting a crystal clear light under the light.

Huo Baichuan took the large aluminum basin out of the water tank and put it on the chopping board.He took out another stack of bowls from the cupboard.

Tao Yan scooped a spoonful of jelly powder into the bowl, poured half a bowl of honey jam, sprinkled peanuts and walnuts on top, and handed it to Huo Baichuan: "Eat."

Huo Baichuan chuckled, took the jelly and said, "It's you!"

Tao Yan snorted softly, scooped up a bowl of jelly for himself, and then greeted the old director, auntie volunteers and the children who had been waiting for a long time: "Come and eat."

The children who were guarding the kitchen door ran into the kitchen happily.Before reaching Tao Yan, she was stopped by the volunteer aunt: "Who told you to enter the kitchen? Children are not allowed in the kitchen. Go to the cafeteria and sit down obediently."

When the children heard what the volunteer auntie said, they made faces at Tao Yan, turned around and ran away.

The auntie volunteer approached Tao Yan and explained with a smile: "In the kitchen, there are rice noodles, soybean oil, kitchen knives and iron spoons. Children are not allowed in. I am afraid that they will spoil things if they are ignorant, and I am afraid that their hands and feet will be injured if they play wildly. To myself. Children are neither serious nor serious, and they don’t know how to measure and are afraid.”

Tao Yan expressed his understanding: "It's because I didn't think about it."

No matter what age, children will still be bears when they should be bears.This point was indeed Tao Yan's poor consideration.

The volunteer aunt waved her hand: "How can I blame you! You are all children!"

While talking, Tao Yan had already served [-] bowls of jelly. The volunteers took out the trays and brought [-] bowls to the children in the cafeteria and the dormitory upstairs.The rest is theirs.

"Oh! This jelly is really delicious." The old dean licked his lips and couldn't help saying, "It's so delicious."

The jelly that has been cooled in the water tank for nearly two hours tastes slippery, the taste is cool and smooth, and it is very springy.Pair it with the rich, sweet and silky honey jam, which has a sweet and fruity aroma.The finely chopped peanuts and walnuts are crunchy and add a rich taste to everyone.

All in all, it is an indescribable satisfaction to be able to eat such a bowl of refreshing and sweet jelly in the hot summer.

There was also a burst of excited children screaming in the cafeteria. It seemed that the children were also very satisfied with the taste of jelly.

"I think if this jelly is sold, it will be more popular than spiked potatoes." Aunt Tao praised without hesitation.

"It's just a bit wasteful." Another aunt looked at the diced watermelon, diced peaches and diced strawberries in the bowl, and counted the walnuts and crushed peanuts in the bowl. Too much."

"Summer happens to be when there are a lot of fruits, and these watermelons, peaches and strawberries are not too expensive." Huo Baichuan explained while eating jelly: "The crushed peanuts are what we left when we bought the ingredients for Liangpi yesterday. I bought the honey and walnut kernels today. A can of honey and a catty of walnut kernels didn’t cost more than five yuan. The total cost was less than ten yuan. A bowl of jelly costs fifty cents, which seems to be more cost-effective than Spike potatoes .”

"How can it be more cost-effective than fried potatoes?" Aunt Zhao came back with a tray and was very disapproving when she heard this: "The oil for frying potatoes can be reused, and the cost is the price of potatoes. How much is a catty of potatoes? No matter how expensive flour and cumin powder are, it cannot be more expensive than fruit."

When Tao Yan heard this, he couldn't help but said: "The oil for frying potatoes cannot be reused. It causes cancer."

"What causes cancer?" Aunt Zhao curled her lips, feeling that Tao Yan was scaremongering: "I haven't heard of it! Everyone comes here like this. Who has the conditions to waste half a barrel of oil a day? We fry it during the Chinese New Year. New Year's goods, that is a pot of oil for a first month. Who is willing to throw away?"

"It's really not in charge of the family and I don't know how expensive Chai Mi is." Aunt Zhao muttered, she couldn't understand Tao Yan's waste of effort.

"Children of capitalists don't dare to commit crimes like this!"

"Edible oil really cannot be reused. There is a scientific basis for this." Huo Baichuan said, "If you don't believe me, I'll help you go to the Health Bureau tomorrow to ask. We want to sell things to neighbors, food safety must be guaranteed .Do not harm everyone."

"You can pull it down!" Aunt Zhao couldn't help complaining: "I don't care where you go to ask. You can stand on the street and ask, and see if the neighbors agree or not that you waste half a barrel of oil a day?"

"It's only been a few days of good times! In the past, when the years were bad, there were still days when you gnawed grass roots and bark! You just haven't lived through the hard times. That's why you are willing to waste food like this."

Everyone's life philosophy is different, Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan obviously can't understand with the aunts.But we can't just watch the aunts reuse the fried oil in order to save money.

The two looked at each other without speaking.
