The Blessed Princess
Chapter 20 Dried Sweet Potatoes and Sweet Potato Chips
Yun said with a smile: "Mrs Xie is overrated. This child has suffered a lot in recent years. I didn't ask him to be awesome. I just hope he can live a safe life in the future." "
After a few people politely, seeing that everyone had arrived, the judge's wife announced the departure.
The position when starting was also very special, Madam Xie and Madame Xie were at the front, followed by Madam Yun, Wei Ruo, and Wei Qingwan, then Madam Qian and Madam Qian, then Madam Qian, then the county magistrate, chief secretary and other wives of famous local families in Xingshan County.
Among the several wives, in terms of husband rank, the Yun family was the highest, the regional judge was the seventh rank, Wei Mingting was the sixth rank, and Ny's husband. Xie is only a juren and has not occupied a certain department. .
But Wei Mingting's current situation was known to everyone, and the Xie family was the center of attention, so Miss. Xie was on the front line.
Since the purpose of today's journey is to invoke blessings, sincerity is paramount, then on the advice of the judge's wife, he said, everyone walked up the mountain and walked up the 999 steps from the foot of the mountain to the front of the mountain.
Wei Ruo followed Yun, not sooner or later, he was going to leave as fast as the others, and when the others stopped to rest, he also stopped to rest.
Try not to stand out, inconspicuous, inconspicuous and not cause problems.
The fastest passerby was Xie Ying, who walked in front with a step, at least 20 or 30 steps away from the others, Madam Xie could not even shout.
The rest of the people did not walk fast, and they had to stop and rest after walking for a while.
It took over half an hour to stop and leave like this, and finally everyone reached the gate of the Fahua Temple.
The abbot had greeted him at the door with a group of disciples.
After exchanging greetings with the abbot, everyone entered the temple.
Because the magistrate's wife had already agreed with the presiding abbot that the Temple of Fahua would not accept any other pilgrims today, but only their sister, the, so the temple was very empty and no one disturbed them.
After entering the main hall, everyone started burning incense sticks and prostration.
Wei Ruo mixed in the crowd and also lit a stick of incense.
After kneeling on the futon and listening to the scriptures, half a day passed.
During the day, everyone will stay in the monastery to eat vegetarian food.
While waiting for iftar time, everyone sat in the iftar room and drank tea provided by the temple.
Exhausted from climbing the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and it was midday, everyone was a little hungry.
But Fahua Temple has a strict fasting time, and food must be served during the day, of course everyone should not break the rules and can only wait in the fasting hall.
At this moment, Wei Ruo took out the dried yam he had prepared and distributed it to everyone to try.
Seeing what Wei Ruo had taken, all the female relatives showed curiosity and doubt, as they had never seen this thing before.
After seeing what Wei Ruo had taken, Yun felt nervous.
He originally thought that Wei Ruo was carrying ordinary pastries, but everyone was really hungry now, so it was fine for him to share the cake with everyone.
It turned out that the things he took out were not known to everyone, and they could not help but worry.
It was too late for Yun to stop Wei Ruo at this time, all things were in the hands of the wives and misses.
Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo and then at the objects he took out, feeling as confused as everyone else. But he did not make a sound, he sat down beside Yun Shi, quietly paying attention to everyone's reaction.
“Nona Wei, what is this?” Lady Qian was the first to ask.
"This is called dried sweet potato, which is made from a plant called sweet potato." Wei Ruo patiently explained. "Corny sweet?
What kind of plant is that?"
“Is there anything like it?” Madam Qian looked at the dry sweet potato as clear as the brick-red crystal in her hand, surprised and confused.
In front of everyone, Wei Ruo picked up a piece of dried yam and ate it.
With Wei Ruo leading the way, Mistress Qian also took a tentative sip.
Dried sweet potatoes are clear, soft and sweet, although there is no complicated way of cooking, but still retain a unique sweet potato flavor.
Seeing this, others began to try the new type of "cake" brought by Wei Ruo.
“It feels good,” Mistress Qian praised.
Soon after, the other female family members also gave the same compliment.
"I have another snack made of yam, you guys should try it too."
Wei Ruo took out another brocade bag from the food box, opened the rope on it, and let the female relatives see the contents clearly.
This slice of sweet potato, after peeled and steamed, puree into mashed potatoes, add the mature sesame seeds and mix well, then spread it over the mold, then sunbathe for a few days, add the mature sesame seeds and mix well, and wait until cooked.to dry Last, cut into small pieces to get yam chips that form and taste exactly like potato chips.
The former is soft, sticky and sweet, while the latter is very crunchy, and the teeth will break when touched slightly, but the aroma is stronger.
“Is this also made of yam you just mentioned?” Madam Xie asked curiously.
"Yes, this is made from sweet potatoes, but the method is different," Wei Ruo explained.
After the introduction, Wei Ruo handed out yam chips to everyone.
With the experience of dried sweet potatoes, this time everyone did not hesitate, and tasted it after getting it.
"This one tastes good too" Madam Qian commented.
“I prefer this, fragrant and crispy.” Xie Ying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, expressing her love for yam chips.
Madame Xie smiled: "Yingying I rarely talk about what kind of food she likes. Ms sweet potato chips. Wei really fits my Yingying appetite. "With the words of Mrs. Qian and Ms. Xie, another female relative also praised Wei. sweet potato products.
And their approval was exactly what Wei Ruo wanted.
Her sweet potato has been grown and will be sold locally when it is ripe.
To sell something that has not been seen in one place, you must first do a good job in the field of marketing and do a good job on the market runway.
Wei Ruo brings dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips for everyone to eat today, for this purpose.
As long as these women representing the rich and powerful in Xingshan County approved this type of food, there would be no market for sweet potatoes when they entered the market.
Yun's hanging heart also fell with everyone's praise.
Wei Qingwan felt a little uncomfortable, and she did not know how to describe this feeling, she only felt something stuck in her chest, making her slightly breathless.
While chatting and laughing, the monks from the temple brought fast food.After everyone had dinner together, the wives would go to the temple to chant the scriptures and pray for blessings with the abbot.
Because the process of study was so tedious, only the wives were arranged, and the girls walked alone around the temple.
After being careful for half a day, I was finally able to move around freely, and a few people I knew formed groups to look for a place to play.
Wei Ruo planned to look for a corner on his own, and Wei Qingwan followed, "Where does sister want to go?"
Sweet potato is another name of sweet potato.
I used to make yam chips at home when I was a kid, but now I rarely make them.
