I’m Not a Scumbag

"I'm not really a scumbag ( Find the latest chapter!
When Lin Fang left the "Zhihualou", he had a cloth package in his hand.
The package is not big, and the group together is a little bigger than a volleyball.
If you shake it too hard, you can hear a clanging sound inside.
Inside were dozens of modern oceans that Sister Hua had brought to Lin Fang, as well as a change of clothes.
Even if Sister Hua didn't say it clearly, Lin Fang already understood what she meant.
"Ningshen tea" is beneficial to the body and harmless, but if it is brewed too thickly, the symptoms will turn out to be reversed.
Coupled with the act of Sister Hua's entanglement, Lin Fang knew that he should leave.
Lin Fang hung the cloth wrap on his shoulders and walked aimlessly on the street.
Unconsciously turning into a small alley, he felt that the scene in front of him became more and more familiar, and a small figure slammed straight into his arms.
Lin Fang copied it back and forth with one hand, brought the small body into his arms and was about to push it away.
"Mr. Lin?"
"Hu Xiaochan?"
"It's really you!"
"It's me." Lin Fang gave a dry laugh, and withdrew the hand he pushed halfway back, holding the little girl to make her stand firm, "You are in a panic, what happened?"
"It's okay, but my mother-in-law wants to eat jelly, and I want to buy one for her!"
"Where can I buy jelly if I want to eat it? I'll just make one."
"Can you make jelly?"
"Simple. Do you have green beans at home?"
"Yes, yes, but is the jelly made from mung beans?"
"Mung beans, lentils, peas, rice, and potatoes can be used to make jelly as long as they are ground into powder. The raw materials are different and the taste is different. The taste of mung bean jelly is cool, and it is more comfortable to eat in this weather."
"Mmmm! Then make mung bean jelly!" Hu Xiaochan pulled Lin Fang back, "Mr. Lin, then I'll trouble you!"
"No trouble." Lin Fang smiled, "If it wasn't for me, you could continue to sell cigarettes to subsidize your family. Doing a little favor for you is nothing."
"Mr. Lin, you can't say that." Hu Xiaochan comforted Lin Fang instead, "I wouldn't have been able to sell it there for too long. There are gangs charging protection fees in these prosperous places. I originally thought to sell those cigarettes. I won’t go after it’s over, because there’s nothing wrong with an accidental interruption, so it’s considered an early graduation.”
Lin Fang turned his head and glanced at Hu Xiaochan, not knowing what to say for a while.
Although this girl is very cute, she doesn't look like Hu Qingchan, but two of the three characters in her name are the same as her, which will inevitably remind Lin Fang of her in the Earth Era.
Hu Xiaochan is so open-minded at such a young age, I really don't know if it is lucky or unfortunate.
Lin Fang felt that Hu Xiaochan led him into a small courtyard with just a little thought.
It was already six or seven o'clock in the evening, the night was low, and the lights were just beginning to come on.
Looking at the lantern in the courtyard, Lin Fang glanced at the layout of the courtyard.
The yard is not big, there is only one entrance, the side rooms on the left and right have only one floor, but the main room has a two-story building.
There was an old lady sitting in the yard.
She was wearing a slightly outdated plain cheongsam. This cheongsam was probably modified, with a very low slit, which showed her ankles.
Wearing a pair of glasses, the old lady was sitting on a bamboo chair, reading a newspaper by the lantern hanging on the column behind her.
Seeing Hu Xiaochan entering the door with an unfamiliar adult man, the old lady's face sank and she stood up, "Xiaochan, what is your relationship with this man?"
"Mother-in-law!" Hu Xiaochan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What's the matter? Mr. Lin is a friend I know!"
"Hehe... friend?" The old lady sneered, and the angry newspaper fell to the ground, "How old are you, how old is he? You tell me, how did you become friends? Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen! Now, the wings are hard, and I can't control you! You let him get away from me, and you are not allowed to sit at the door of our house until the matchmaker proposes marriage!"
"Oh, mother-in-law!" Hu Xiaochan blushed, "You really misunderstood! Mr. Lin is really my friend. The last time I went out to sell cigarettes and was bullied, it was Mr. Lin who helped me solve the trouble! The third time we meet, what kind of kiss are you talking about!"
"Uh..." The old lady looked a little embarrassed. "What... Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. Our little Chan is still young and has a bad personality, so she rarely brings friends over. Suddenly bringing a man like you here, I thought she had a body..."
Halfway through speaking, the old lady's face became more and more embarrassed.
Hu Xiaochan's face was so red that she was about to bleed.
Lin Fang pretended not to see the embarrassment of the young and old, and asked with a smile, "I'm here to help, by the way, Xiaochan, where is your kitchen?"
"Here, Mr. Lin, come with me!" Hu Xiaochan pointed, led Lin to let go a few steps, and then ran back, "Mother-in-law, I'll take Mr. Lin to the kitchen first, and I'll be back later to explain to you what's going on! "
"Go! Go!" The old lady waved her hands again and again, "You are old, your brain is not good, and you always do bad things with good intentions."
"Mother-in-law, you are not old, how are you!"
"Go! Go! Stop coaxing me, go and greet the guests!"
Hu Xiaochan took Lin into the kitchen and wanted to help, but Lin Fang kicked him out.
She couldn't even tell the difference between salt and sugar, and she only helped more and more.
The kitchen is clean and obviously not much tidied up.
Not only the kitchen, but the entire courtyard is very clean.
It can be seen that this is all due to the old lady, and she is not usually idle.
I don't know if the old lady has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Everything in the kitchen is regulated neatly.
It was convenient for Lin Fang, he found the mung bean without much effort.
Rinse the mung beans a little and let them dry, then pour the mung beans into the small stone mill placed at the foot of the kitchen. Soon Lin Fang got a small pot of mung bean flour.
In this era, a small stone mill seems to be a must-have kitchen utensil for every household. Without it, grinding powder is really a bit troublesome.
Mix the mung bean powder and cold water thoroughly, then turn up the pot and boil the water. After the water boils, pour the mung bean water into the pot and keep stirring, draw firewood to reduce the heat, and continue to boil for about five minutes, until the resistance in the pot changes. Large, slowly transparent, close the stove and turn off the fire.
Lin Fang poured the boiled pot of mung bean jelly into a large oiled basin to cool, and prepared to use a small stone mill to grind the powder again.
This time, though, he's going to make mung bean starch.
The mung beans used to make mung bean starch need to be soaked. When soaking, using the Tai Chi technique to copy water can speed up the process.
It didn't take long for Lin Fang to get a bowl of soaked mung beans.
He ground the bowl of mung beans with water, filtered through a sieve, and poured the mung bean milk into clear water to precipitate.
Repeat several times, and then boil the water to dry, you will get a bowl of mung bean starch.
Lin Fang used this bowl of mung bean starch to make a pot of jelly.
However, the first pot of mung bean jelly was green, but this pot of mung bean jelly was crystal clear and translucent.
Next, you only need to season, you can eat a bowl of sour and delicious mung bean jelly.
Before adjusting the jelly, there is a necessary step called: scraping the jelly.
The whole piece of jelly made by Lin Fang is placed in a large pot, so the jelly is in the shape of a pot.
Scraping jelly requires a special short spatula, shaped like a colander, with holes the size of fingers.
What surprised Lin Fang was that the kitchen even had this side tool, which saved him the trouble of punching holes in other people's spoons and destroying the kitchen utensils.
Lin Fang took four small bowls and two kinds of mung bean jelly and placed them in the four small bowls respectively.
After seasoning, Lin Fang put four small bowls and two pairs of chopsticks on the tray and brought them into the small courtyard.
"Mother-in-law, that's the way it is. Mr. Lin and I are really just ordinary friends. Don't think about it!"
"Okay, okay! I don't think about it! It's not because you grew up, you can get married in the past, will your mother-in-law misunderstand? That is, the times have changed, you little girls have gone to school, I want to get married later!"
When Lin put it into the yard, the two grandfathers and grandsons were still chatting, and he approached them without realizing it.
"Cough!" Lin Fang had to cough lightly as a reminder, "Mother-in-law, Xiaochan, try it to see if it suits your taste. I made the green mung bean jelly mildly spicy, and the white mung bean jelly I made extra spicy. This jelly is a special snack in Sichuan cuisine, it is called sad jelly. These two bowls belong to my mother-in-law, and these two bowls belong to Xiaochan."
"How spicy can it be? I want spicy food!" Hu Xiaochan didn't believe in evil, she picked up a bowl of sad jelly and started eating, "It's not spicy... Hey, Mr. Lin, your craftsmanship is good! It's delicious! "
Suck... Suck... Suck...
Seeing Hu Xiaochan's rude behavior at all, the old lady smiled helplessly, "Mr. Lin, I made you laugh. Xiaochan's parents have been abroad for many years, and she grew up by my side. I was neglectful and ignorant of etiquette, so don't take offense. "
"Where, where..." Lin Fang brought the tray in front of the old lady, "Mother-in-law, Xiaochan and I are friends, so we don't need to be so divided. Let's try my craft!"
"Okay, I'll try it!" The old lady brought the green mung bean jelly, and took a small bite with her chopsticks.
The old lady's sitting posture is impeccable, her eating movements are also elegant and dignified, and her every move reveals a good education.
It can be seen that the old man is from everyone's background and is knowledgeable and reasonable.
On the other hand, Hu Xiaochan, Lin Zang was busy in the kitchen before, she squatted in front of the old lady and chatted with the old man, which was reasonable.
Now that Lin Fang came to the small courtyard, she was still carrying a bowl of sad jelly, but she still squatted in front of the old lady eating and drinking.
Lin Fang looked at the old man and then at the young man, and couldn't help but laugh.
Whether it is green mung bean jelly or translucent mung bean jelly, after Lin Fang's skillful hand, it has become a supreme delicacy.
Not to mention that the mung bean powder is made by Lin Fang with fine grinding, and the taste is smooth and cool.
Just talking about his seasoning techniques, he is well versed in the secrets of appropriate addition and subtraction that vary from person to person.
Hu Xiaochan took the first bite, and the food was only slightly spicy and smooth, and the second bite was sour and appetizing.
The third mouthful, the spicy taste increased, and the tear ducts could not be controlled all of a sudden, and I couldn't help but squeeze out the tears.
But at this moment, the deliciousness of sad jelly seems to be really exploding.
Hu Xiaochan couldn't restrain her desire to continue eating, she resisted the spicy food and continued to cry.
"Hey...Mr. Lin, this jelly is so spicy!" Hu Xiaochan couldn't help swallowing her saliva, "But it's a good time! I've never eaten such a good jelly!"
Suck... Suck... Suck...
"You kid! Pay attention to your image!" The old lady couldn't help but let out a light anger, and turned to Lin Fang and said, "Mr. Lin, your craftsmanship is absolutely amazing! When I was a child, I was born into a wealthy family and had a bit of knowledge. Later The family was in the middle of the road, and I followed my parents all the way to the south, and other enjoyments were slowly cut off, except for this jelly, which I have been unable to give up. For so many years, the jelly made by Mr. Lin is the best I have ever eaten!"
"Mother-in-law has won the award." Although Lin Fang also felt that in this world, his cooking skills had improved a lot, but he was still very embarrassed, "It's all well taught by my master."
The old lady nodded slightly and continued to eat jelly with a smile.
Maybe because the food was so delicious, the old lady took off her eyes at some point and ate the jelly in small bites, her eyes squinting happily.
The mouth is smooth and slightly cool, and you don't have to chew hard. When you touch your teeth lightly, the jelly will break. After chewing a little, it will turn into juice and go down your throat.
The aroma of garlic and millet is stimulated by vinegar and soy sauce, and a little sesame oil, a little sesame oil of rattan pepper, numb, spicy, spicy, and fragrant are all ready. Just one bite makes people deeply fall in love with this taste.
Especially for the old lady's old age ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, Lin Fang's taste is light, and all seasonings are reduced as appropriate. Because of the more targeted relationship, it is like a custom-made taste for her. Let the old lady love it.
One old and one young, one swallowed big and the other tasted slowly, but the two of them still took about the same time to finish the first bowl of jelly, and then the two of them took the second bowl almost at the same time.
"Hey, mother-in-law, your bowl of sad jelly is very spicy! Hey...it's killing me!" Hu Xiaochan kept breathing in the air-conditioning, "Mother-in-law, you should drink water first, it's better to be mentally prepared, I Eat first!"
After teasing the old lady, Hu Xiaochan happily ate the second bowl of jelly.
Sure enough, mild spicy and sad jelly are not the same realm at all.
After suffering the extremely spicy **** of sad jelly, mildly spicy jelly is simply heaven.
Hu Xiaochan looked at the old lady with a smile while smoking the jelly, waiting to see her mother-in-law make an embarrassment.
Seeing the old lady looking at him hesitantly, Lin Fang couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, although your bowl is also extra spicy, the amount is very small, not very spicy."
"It's not very spicy? You people from Sichuan are not very spicy, can you believe it?" The old lady gave Lin Fang a blank look, "The spicy level you are accustomed to may be too much for us."
Although she complained, the old lady still picked up the jelly and took a sip.
It is more spicy than the previous bowl of jelly, making people unable to hold back tears, but still bearable.
The old lady took a second bite, and her mouth was full of deliciousness, and she no longer had the trouble of not being able to accept the spiciness.
Sure enough, Lin Fang targeted the seasoning, and the spiciness was controlled just right. The really spicy old lady wanted to cry a little, but it was not to an unacceptable level.
Because it's just right, it's even more delicious!
