"Mom is more important. She is responsible for the head of the snowman. Dad and I are responsible for the body of the snowman. Dundun is responsible for the central dispatch and command!"

Shen Jiayue put on gloves and divided the work for everyone.

However, when she and Shen Guofu were rolling the snow on the rooftop into a big snowball, they discovered that Han Shuzhen had made the snowman's head into the shape of a giant sugar triangle.

Sure enough...

It’s more appropriate for mom to only be responsible for moving her mouth.

Most people call me "Mom" when they don't decide their own affairs, but my own family is completely the opposite.

Shen Jiayue said helplessly:

"Mom, let me do it. A person like you, who grew up pampered and spoiled by my father, is not suitable for taking action."

Han Shuzhen was not happy when she heard this:

"The main reason is that the venue is too small. If you change it to a big place like the medical school playground, I will make a round snowman head for you."

Shen Jiayue: "..."

Are you planning to go to medical school to embarrass yourself?

She said:

"Let me go. If I hadn't agreed to Dundun, I wouldn't be so active."

Han Shuzhen also felt that the snowman she rolled had a bad head. When she heard that her daughter wanted to take the initiative to help her clean up the mess, she was rude. She stood up, beat her waist, and asked casually:

"Yueyue, what are you going to plant in the flower pond on the rooftop? Do you want me to plant some flowers for you?"

"My mother-in-law said she would grow vegetables for us later. She would plant some eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, etc. She has calculated that if we plant them all, we can harvest a lot of vegetables every day."

Grow vegetables?

Han Shuzhen originally wanted to stop making trouble, but after looking at the huge rooftop, in addition to barbecue on it, growing vegetables is really a good choice.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]

Farming is a sentiment engraved in the bones of every Chinese.

Whether inside or outside the rural fields, river embankments, or in the green gardens, ponds and streams in front of and behind the villas, there are people growing vegetables.

Even in a small building, it is common to plant some garlic seedlings on the balcony in winter and bury a cabbage root in a flower pot on the windowsill.

The rooftop upstairs has been completely surrounded by flower ponds, and the soil is good, so it is indeed suitable for growing vegetables.

Han Shuzhen looked around for a week, imagining how lush the various vegetables would look when summer came, and she suddenly felt a little bit excited:

"Then we won't buy vegetables anymore. We will come here to pick vegetables every day."

"No problem, it's definitely better than the food in the market."

While the couple was looking forward to eating home-grown vegetables, in the kitchen of Lin Ji Gourmet, Lin Xu was washing the pears one by one with salt together with several helpers.

Table salt with uniform particles has good decontamination ability.

Especially this kind of fruit, which may have pectin on its surface, is difficult to clean with just water.

When using detergent, I always feel it smells.

So table salt becomes the best choice.

Hold a Sydney pear in your hand, cover it with a handful of salt and rub it quickly, allowing the slightly rough particles of the salt to clean away the impurities, pectin and other ingredients on the surface of the Sydney pear.

Then put it into clean water and wash it further.

There is no need to throw away the dirty table salt in the basin. Pour it directly into hot water, stir and melt the salt, and filter it twice with filter paper to turn it into clean salt water.

Whether you are making soup or kimchi, you can continue to use it.

Wash all the pears and use a kitchen knife to remove the cores.

Cut the snow pear into four pieces, and then use a kitchen knife to quickly remove the core. A snow pear is now cut.

There is no need to change the knife after removing the core of the pears, just put them directly into the large dough kneading machine, and use the kneading knife inside the machine to smash the pears.

To make Qiuli paste, you need to boil chopped snow pears, then take them out and filter them after boiling them thoroughly. Only the filtered juice can be used to make Qiuli paste.

Since it is filtered, there is no difference whether the pears are chopped or crushed with a blender. Relatively speaking, the juice yield is higher when the pears are crushed.

In large restaurants, when a large amount of ingredients needs to be chopped, a blender or food processor is generally not used, but a dough mixer with a larger capacity is used.

The knife head is larger, whipping more ingredients, and the efficiency is better.

Pour the crushed snow pears directly into the large soup bucket used to make sour plum soup, and then start making the next pot.

A hundred kilograms of Sydney pears, even if the core is removed, there will still be a lot left. It takes several pots of mixing with a dough mixer to finish beating the Sydney pears.

Pour all the pears into the soup bucket, and it's time to put the medicinal ingredients in it.

When making Qiuli ointment, put some herbs into it that can relieve coughs, relieve asthma, clear away heat and resolve phlegm, so that Qiuli ointment can have a better effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs.

Lin Xu brought food and medicinal materials such as Luo Han Guo, licorice, dried lilies, red dates, loquat leaves, Sichuan clams, and honey.

Crush the Luo Han Guo, cut the dried licorice and lily, remove the pits of the red dates, and then put them into the soup bucket together with the loquat leaves and about three or four kilograms of honey.

As for Sichuan Fritillary, because the medicinal effect evaporates too quickly, it can only be added last.

If you put it on too early, it will have no effect at all.

All the medicinal materials were put into the soup bucket, and Lin Xu put a few slices of ginger into it, which could effectively remove the coldness in Qiuli paste.

However, ginger is of hot nature and cannot be used in excess.

Otherwise, let alone relieving the cough, it may even have the opposite effect.

Put everything away, cover the lid of the soup bucket, and simmer over high heat.

This step takes about an hour to bring out the medicinal properties of all the medicinal materials.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Xu came outside and found that Dou Wenjing and Geng Lele had also arrived. They were gathering with Chen Yan and Zeng Xiaoqi to look forward to the big bones at noon.

Seeing Lin Xu coming out, Geng Lele asked excitedly:

"Brother Xu, is Big Bone okay?"

"If you like to eat three-cooked, you can start eating now."

When Xiao Mo Gutou heard this, he immediately shook his head:

"Then I'd better put something on the table. I didn't even eat this morning, so I just wanted to chew on two more big bones. I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to eat until noon."

There was still breakfast in the store, and Che Zai brought her a bowl of hot and sour soup and two meat rolls.

Geng Lele asked while eating:

"Why didn't Sister Yue come?"

"I'm making a snowman for Dundun on the roof. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also there."

Build a snowman?

When a few idle people heard this, they immediately became interested:

"Then let's go too?"

"Okay, okay!"

"Lele, drink the soup quickly and take the meat rolls to eat on the way, otherwise we won't wait for you."

Upon hearing this, Geng Lele drank the hot and sour soup in a few sips, then put two meat rolls into the lunch box, and went downstairs with several older sisters who still had a childlike heart.

Lin Xu rested for a while and then returned to the kitchen to continue working.

An hour later, Lin Xu turned off the fire on the stove and opened the lid of the soup bucket.

A nice smell of Sydney wafted out from inside.

When it started boiling, the soup bucket was full of water, but now it has much more water and its color has turned dark brown.

The temperature is too high at the moment and cannot be filtered, otherwise it is easy to burn your hands.

You have to pour it out of the soup bucket first and let it dry until it is no longer hot to your hands before filtering, so that the filtering effect will be better.

Lin Xu poured the pear soup into two large stainless steel basins and placed them at the door of the cold storage to speed up the cooling of the pear.

At this point, the big bones are almost ready. Turn off the heat and continue soaking.

When the pear soup in the basin was no longer hot to the touch, Lin Xu took an oversized filter cloth and started filtering it.

Place the filter cloth in an empty basin with the four sides higher than the edge of the basin.

Then scoop up the pear soup with a water ladle and pour it into it. When the basin is almost full, lift up the four corners and let the soup inside filter out.

Don't throw away the remaining residue, put it into a juicer and squeeze out as much water as possible.

The car guy who was helping asked:

"The dried residue is useless, right?"

Ma Zhiqiang muttered:

"It is no longer useful to us, but it is still very useful to some people."
