Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 369: Wine Yeast 2

The Taoist priest also said, "Ordinary people cannot make and sell wine. Making wine requires a lot of grain, but in this era, grain is not enough to eat, so the court still controls the amount of wine brewed each year."

"Yes, this is why wine is so expensive. Ordinary people can't even get enough food, so how can they have enough food to make wine?"

Xu Han thought about it for a moment after hearing this. If that was the case, no one had ever used sweet potatoes to make wine. It seemed like this was a good way to make money.

But making money is not something you can do now. You should wait until the war is over before making plans.

During war, it is best not to cause trouble if possible. It is better to keep a low profile as much as possible. At least it will be safe and will not attract attention.

After realizing this, Xu Han put her thoughts aside for the time being and decided not to mention it for the time being.

Xu Han then asked, "What are we having for dinner?"

"I cooked a pot of porridge when you were not back, but I haven't made the other things yet."

"Since I've cooked the porridge, I'll grab a pancake! How about a scallion pancake?"

"Sure, I haven't had it in a long time. Make a few more today."

"Okay, I'll go and knead the dough first."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she went back into the kitchen, kneaded the dough, and put it on the chopping board to let it rise.

Then I went to the small vegetable garden outside and picked a handful of green onions. The newly sprouted green onions were lush green, and they were the best for making scallion pancakes.

Wash the shallots, then cut them into finely chopped green onions, add a little salt and thirteen-spice powder, and set aside to marinate for a while.

The pickled chopped green onions will become soft, so they will not pierce the scallion pancake when rolling it.

Add some flour into the bowl, then add more oil into the bowl, stir well and it becomes a puff pastry.

Cut the dough that has just been proofed into even-sized pieces, roll it into thin pancakes with a rolling pin, brush it with a layer of pastry, and sprinkle with some chopped green onions.

Roll it up from one side to make a small dough, then roll it out thinly again to make a scallion pancake.

The pancake looks particularly appetizing with green chopped green onions inside, and it also looks very beautiful.

While Xu Han was making the dough, she shouted outside, "Lu Chuan, come in and help me light the fire."

"coming."

Not only Lu Chuan came in, but the Taoist priest and Mu'er also followed in.

Mu'er blinked her big watery eyes and asked, "Mom, are the delicious scallion pancakes ready?"

"It will be ready soon. Ask your father to light the fire and I will make you some scallion pancakes."

The Taoist priest volunteered, "You roll the dough and I'll flip it."

Hearing this, Xu Han looked at the Taoist priest with suspicion, opened his mouth and finally said, "Okay then."

"Hey, girl, what's with that look in your eyes? I can't even cook, but can't I do something as simple as flipping a pancake?"

"Hehehe, no no, that's not what I meant. Remember to turn it over frequently, and it's ready to serve once it turns golden brown."

As Xu Han spoke, she put the scallion pancakes she had just rolled into the pot.

Finally, after constant debate between Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest, the first scallion pancake came out of the pan.

Xu Han smiled and praised, "Not bad, not bad, not burnt, that's an improvement."

The Taoist priest tore off a piece and handed it to Mu'er, saying, "Try it and see if it tastes good."

Mu'er took it and ate it while laughing, "Delicious, delicious."

Lu Chuan replied, "Tear off a little bit for your brother and let him eat it himself."

"Okay." Mu'er said and ran out happily.

When he came in again, Grandpa Zhao and Ze'er followed him.

When the Taoist priest saw the two people coming in, he immediately chased them away and said, "What are you two doing in here? It's so hot in this kitchen. Get out now."

"Hahaha, I heard Mu'er say that it was Grandpa Taoist who made the pancakes, but I didn't believe it. Didn't I just want to come in and take a look? I didn't expect that it was really you who made the pancakes. Not bad, not bad, you've made progress."

"Hahaha, of course. It's not that difficult. It's a piece of cake."

The Taoist priest was feeling proud, but Lu Chuan was anxiously shouting, "It's messed up."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest hurriedly turned over the scallion pancake in the pot, and sure enough, it was burnt.

Grandpa Zhao looked at the cakes that the Taoist priest brought out and laughed mercilessly, "Hahahaha, you're too early to praise me. I'm still the same as before, no improvement."

Seeing this, the Taoist priest took the rag beside him and threw it at Lu Chuan. "It's all your fault. Why did you burn such a big fire? It must be burnt. You can eat this cake yourself."

Lu Chuan said unconvincedly, "How can you blame me? It was obviously you who didn't keep an eye on the pancakes."

"Will it burn if you keep the fire low?"

Grandpa Zhao stuffed Ze'er into the Taoist priest's hands and said, "Alright, alright, stop talking. Hurry up and take Ze'er out. If you keep making trouble, this scallion pancake will be sold as a midnight snack."

Seeing this, Xu Han added, "Mu'er, follow Grandpa Taoist out as well. It's too hot in the kitchen. Mom will call you when it's done."

"Okay." Mu'er responded sweetly and went to play with her brother.

Today's dinner was a little later than usual, mainly because it was too troublesome to make scallion pancakes. Plus, there were more people in the family and they ate more, so by the time we had enough food, it was already late.

After dinner, the family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

Xu Han asked, "I'll take out the Polygonum aviculare and let's process it. It will be ready tomorrow morning."

"Okay, take it out, we can finish it together quickly."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han went into the warehouse and took out a basket of Polygonum multiflorum.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan also took out a large wooden basin with great interest.

Grandpa Zhao looked at the basket full of Polygonum aviculare and asked, "What should we do with this?"

Xu Han gave each of them a pair of disposable gloves and said, "We only have the flowers on top. Just pluck them off directly."

Lu Chuan watched Xu Han's demonstration and started masturbating too.

Seeing that everyone was working, Mu'er ran over and said, "Mom, I want to help too."

"My dear son, this is too spicy for you to handle. Go and help your brother."

Hearing this, Mu'er was a little unhappy, but when she heard about helping to look after her brother, she smiled again and said, "Okay."

There may not be a lot of Polygonum hydropiper, but it is still quite troublesome to handle them one by one.

The flower spikes are very small, and I didn't get much out of them after spending a lot of time with them.

Fortunately, there were many people at home. We chatted and picked the flowers of the Polygonum aviculare, and time passed quickly without us noticing.

"Oh, my old waist can't even stand up."

The Taoist priest stood up and said while patting his waist.

Xu Han looked at the basket that still had half a basket of Polygonum aviculare in it and said, "Let's just deal with this much today. It's getting late. Go to bed early. I can deal with the rest myself tomorrow."

Seeing that there were indeed not many left, the few people agreed.

After the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao left, Lu Chuan and Xu Han cleaned the yard together before going to rest.
