A bowl of steaming, soft, silky, and authentic potato flour is my longing for ordinary food.

? In the bright spring of 2021, I started the life course of this bowl of potato noodles in the past and present. In the early spring of March, the spring is cold. I went to the seed station and bought two kilograms of potato seeds, cut off the sprouts one by one, spread them out in the yard, and let them dry in the sun. Then, I went to the small vegetable field and used iron catalpas to turn over the soil and prepare the soil. Pushing with my left leg and arching my right leg, I constantly adjusted my working posture, feeling the rhythm of working and enjoying the joy of working.

I want to build a comfortable and warm home for the little potato sprouts, so that they can feel love, be soaked in love, and pass on love from an early age. After the two small soil borders were finished, I placed them one by one in comfortable soil nests, so that their young lives could draw endless strength from the earth, strengthen their muscles and bones through the ups and downs, and thrive in the sunshine. Thrive in the moisture of rain and dew.

From then on, these two small fields of potatoes became my deepest concern.

Every day, I pay deep attention to Xiaotuqi several times. Although the soil border is still the same bare soil border, I know that she is gestating a beautiful messenger of life in her belly. I look forward to that little life breaking out of the ground in the call of the spring breeze.

In the soft light of a morning, I walked towards the small soil border as usual. Wherever you look, you see a fluffy little green bud, stretching its soft and delicate body in the sun. A burst of joy came to my heart, and my little potato finally started the green journey of life.

Watering, pulling weeds, sealing soil, the hard work goes without saying. With careful care day after day, the two small plots of potatoes have grown into green and lush greenery.

Four months passed by in a hurry, and the potato seedlings gradually turned from bright green to yellow. Each little potato couldn't bear the fullness of new life, and began to poke its head out of the soil.

The harvest season has arrived quietly.

Pull up a seedling and bring up a nest of potatoes. Picking up large and small potatoes, all the anticipation suddenly turned into a heavy harvest.

One hard work, one harvest. Life will not live up to the hard work and sweat.

Humming a little tune, I washed the potatoes, cut them into thin strips, and washed them in a basin of clear water. Take out the shredded potatoes and put them in the refrigerator to enjoy later. Leave the washing water overnight, pour out the clear water above, and a thick white layer of potato flour will precipitate below.

I use the most original manual method to make the purest potato flour, and the potato shreds are also perfectly preserved.

? I poured boiling water into the potato flour and stirred it with chopsticks. It soon became translucent, but it was too loose. Add a little peanut oil, it's still a little sticky. Put some flour on the chopping board and divide into four small portions. The dough should be smaller, and the dough should not stick or break when rolling out, but it is quite difficult, so the dough has to be made thicker and larger than the noodles. I only rolled out two small portions, which seemed to be enough to eat. Put the rest in the refrigerator and make potato pancakes to try tomorrow.

Add water to the tomato soup pot and bring to a boil, add potato noodles. Boil the pot for one minute, turn off the heat, and add chopped green onion and sesame oil.

The hot potato noodles are cooked perfectly.

? The imaginary potato flour is actually turned into potato noodles. The actual content has not changed, but the presentation form is slightly different.

The ideal is very plump, but the reality is a bit skinny.

Taste it carefully. It is soft, waxy, smooth, and slightly less chewy. However, compared with the potato flour eaten in restaurants, the texture and taste are still very different.

The difference is that this bowl of original potato noodles is so delicious.

This is the first time I have eaten such delicious "potato powder".

Next, let’s study the “strength” issue. The perfect potato flour is just around the corner.

Have dreams and expectations, and life will be more colorful!
