Chapter 409 409. The best rice in the world
What does delicious rice look like?
Lao Song's family originally grew indica rice from the south, which has a harder taste. In addition, the selection of varieties is mediocre, so the taste is really bad, on the same level as the rice in the supermarket that costs one or two yuan a pound.
But this year Song Tan came to plant rice. Considering that his family was old, he chose japonica rice, which is often available in the north.
Japonica rice is shorter and fatter, with a soft, delicate and sweet taste. Except for making egg fried rice, which is worse than indica rice, everything else is pretty good.
The most important thing is that in order to grow two crops of rice this year, their family planted rice seedlings earlier than normal.
Japonica rice will be more cold-tolerant, and the amylopectin structure will also appear sweeter under large temperature differences...
In short, adapt measures to local conditions.
Because of this, Song Sancheng kept mumbling for a long time. The central idea was just one -
He has become accustomed to eating hard rice over the years and does not like the soft and sticky rice.
What’s more, based on their farm experience decades ago, harder rice will make you hungrier.
It was Song Tan’s words that convinced him:
"Dad, twenty years ago when you were harvesting rice, you had to pick it home in bundles. Now we have machines, and our family also hires people to do endless jobs... Qiao Qiao is already so old, don't you still imagine We worked so hard when we were kids, right?”
“Eat something soft, which will put less burden on the stomach and intestines.”
No, this is the kind of rice popsicles that are rolling in the blazing pot.
The fragrance of rice permeated the entire courtyard, making everyone feel a little restless.
Even though Song Tan had just neatly chopped up a few watermelons to satisfy everyone's appetite, some people still stood at the door involuntarily, their noses twitching, like hungry puppies.
After smelling it, the female classmate returned to the living room emotionally, and then sighed:
“How can I say that the fruits of my own labor are the best? It’s probably because I worked really hard today. Why does the meal tonight smell so sweet to me?”
“Just this rice, just the smell, I can finish three big bowls of it!”
Normally, this would be an exaggerated joke. But everyone thought about how their bellies were tumbling after lunch, and they all became curious again:
“How sweet is it?”
The female classmate waved her hand: "The smell in the living room is not even one-tenth of the smell outside."
“I’ll go smell it too!”
"I'll go too! I don't have much work to do today. I'm just trying to catch a fish. I have to see if the filter disappears..."
Two classmates ran out.
Everyone waited for a while and found that no one came back. Turning around again—
“Good guy, Chen Zhou, you actually ate in the kitchen!”
“I didn’t eat it secretly!”
An old classmate was also a bachelor and blocked the door of the kitchen: "This smell is too fragrant. Can't I stand over and take a few more whiffs?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other, and then they all rushed to the door.
Then he paused again.
They looked at me and at you: "Why do I feel that... the sweetness of this rice doesn't seem to be filtered by the fruits of our own labor?"
It’s really fragrant.
The sweetness of rice is difficult to describe in words. It is a smell that makes people feel like they are pressed from the heart to the stomach...
Saliva...the saliva is coming out! Everyone struggled to maintain their sanity.
In fact, rice contains most of starch, which is not high in nutrients. Eating too many carbohydrates will make you fat.
But…
“If you don’t eat carbs, you will become stupid, and I really love rice!”
"Me too!"
“Oh, let’s lose weight tomorrow. I exercised today—”
Just then, the rice in the big pot was boiling and the seventh cousin was scooping out the rice soup with a ladle.
The large, simple stainless steel basin was filled with milky white rice soup. If everyone hadn't been reserved and didn't step through the kitchen door, they would have drooled into the basin. Seventh cousin plans to make a soup out of this rice soup!
At this moment, he also took a deep breath: "Tandan has a way of growing things! Look, this rice is not the same thing as what we used to eat."
He proudly raised his beard to Grandma Qi: "How about it? Go back to your hometown and enjoy your life. If I hadn't been skilled in craftsmanship, where would I have eaten such good food!"
The person who eats it will be light and healthy, and he will be happy every day, even if he gives it to a god.
Grandma Qi also swallowed.
But she was old, and her thoughts were a little burdened. She looked at the crowd of people standing at the door, but she didn't say anything about drinking a bowl of rice soup first.
It wasn’t until the seventh cousin filled the rice soup to the point where it was almost full and put the lid back on the pot that the tangy aroma subsided a little.
Just a little, not much.
Looking at the person standing at the door again, he simply waved the big spoon and said: "Come on, go get the bowl. I'll give you a bowl of rice soup to warm your stomach first."
No one who was sweating profusely on this hot day thought it was a problem to warm their stomach. At this moment, he turned around and shouted loudly: "Song Tan, where are your bowls and chopsticks?"
Song Tan came over to take a look - although she was a little greedy, the old classmates were pretty easy to kill.
It’s just rice soup, drink whatever you want.
“Let me get it, it’s in the dining room cupboard—”
Before she even raised her feet, some classmates rushed in impatiently, and soon came out with a whole pack of disposable bowls.
So everyone in the family filled their bowls.
The milky white rice soup is rippling slightly in the brown paper bowl. Everyone is not too hot, and they are not even willing to move back to the living room for fear of spilling a little bit of the rice soup on the way...
Instead, he stood in the courtyard with a faint blue night sky, blowing his breath.
Aunt Lianhua knew about Xin Jun. Seeing that several young men had been unable to get out of the house all day, Aunt Lianhua carried an enamel tray from an unknown age with Double Happiness on it, and brought three full bowls of soup up.
In the kitchen, the considerate seventh cousin has used a few more large bowls to set aside a separate portion.
At this point, the students drank the large pot of soup while blowing the hot air and "hissing, hissing".
It made Song Tan dumbfounded—
The conscience of heaven and earth, this is really not the process she arranged! After all, Fairy Tan admitted that although she was picky, she didn't take it into account.
“I just finished eating watermelon and drank rice soup, and my stomach was filled with water. Are you still eating tonight?”
“Must eat!”
“That’s it! I’ve threshed the rice with my own hands, so I’ll eat it no matter what!”
“If nothing else, I can eat three big bowls of this rice!” “I want to eat crispy rice.”
“I want to eat too…”
Okay, the soup has just been eaten, and everyone is chatting and getting greedy again.
Even Song Tan was speechless.
I had no choice but to rush them into the living room: "Don't stay here, go and take a rest. Aren't you tired from the day?"
Until everyone had entered the house, she slowly wandered into the kitchen, then took a sip of her own bowl and drank.
How to say?
It’s strangely touching.
Having been back for half a year, I can happily eat a bowl of rice today.
The seventh cousin is still thinking: "Next year I need to plant more rice, some glutinous rice, and some indica rice. The good indica rice is not bad, it just has a different texture - I will make egg fried rice later and it will be particularly delicious."
Today I read a book called "After the whole Internet was hacked, I passed the postgraduate entrance examination at Tsinghua University." The heroine of Lezi Ren is a fast-paced entertainment circle. It has a very green river feel, which is good hahaha.
…
besides. And the update will be very late, so you can watch it tomorrow morning.
Start working out tomorrow! Everyone wishes me to hold on!
