Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

Chapter 79 78 Pea Cake

After the fried dishes were finished, Lin Lan called Xiaodouzi to eat, and Xiaodouding ran to the clay stove in surprise and looked at the flames emerging from the hearth: "Mom, you are amazing."

Looking at Xiaodouzi's adoring eyes, Lin Lan smiled triumphantly: "I'm a mother, of course I'm amazing!"

Xiaodouzi looked at her and nodded heavily: "My mother is the best!"

Lin Lan looked at this baby who was full of eyes only for her, and hugged him warmly: "My little Douzi is also the most obedient and obedient baby."

Xiaodouzi happily hugged Lin Lan on her face, kissed her twice, looked at her with bright eyes, and giggled.

After the mother and son had eaten, Lin Lan fed the pigs, and waited for Xiaodouzi to call the chickens back to feed them, then grabbed the two little hens from under the slings and put them in the coop.

Xiaodouzi watched the chicks huddled together, and asked worriedly, "Mom, will they fight?"

Lin Lan glanced at it and said with a smile: "No, they are not familiar with each other just now."

Xiaodouzi looked at the chicks in the coop, and said worriedly, "I'll take a look here."

"Okay, don't go to the latrine!"

"En!" Xiaodouzi squatted down in front of the chicken coop, and Dahuang also lay beside him.

The group of chicks already knew their owner, and the two hens shrank to the corner of the coop, watching each person and the dog vigilantly with their small eyes.

Lin Lan closed the courtyard door and went back to the kitchen to see that the mud stove was half dry.

Pour the rice soup from the earthen bowl into a sand pot and boil, hold the handle of the sand pot, shake it a few times to make the rice soup paste the sand pot, then pour it into another sand pot, and repeat the process of pouring out the rice soup and cleaning it.

After washing the yellow gardenia, put it into a sand pot, add water and sugar, and put it on a mud stove to boil the yellow gardenia syrup.

Xiaodouzi returned to the kitchen with rhubarb: "Mom, they didn't fight."

Lin Lan nodded: "Will you wash your face and brush your teeth and go to bed now?"

Xiaodouzi shook his head: "I'll wait for you."

"Mom still needs to make pea cakes. If you doze off, go to bed first."

"En!" Xiaodouzi nodded in response.

After Lin Lan poured water to wash him, she carried him to the bed, took off his underwear, covered him with the quilt, and kissed him: "Baby sleeps first, and mother will come when the cake is ready."

Xiaodouzi nodded: "Mom, come quickly."

"Okay, mom will go after you fall asleep." Lin Lan thought about sitting on the bed next to him, patted him lightly, and went to the kitchen when he fell asleep.

The yellow gardenia syrup in the sand pot had already been boiled. Lin Lan scooped up the ashes to cover the charcoal fire, and brought the peas in the pot to the stove, and saw that the peas had soaked.

Hold it up and rub it back and forth a few times, and the pea skin will fall off.

Lin Lan fished out the floating pea skins and poured them into the soaking water bucket, then poured the peas into the round-mouthed deep-bellied vegetable basket, took the flashlight and carried it to the side of the ditch.

There were bursts of frog croaking in the seedling field, and the crowing of Dong chickens "Deng... Deng... Deng".

Lin Lan stopped, listening to the familiar and distant voice, she showed a peaceful smile.

At this time, Rhubarb's barking sound came from behind, and Lin Lan scolded it, making it stand guard at the gate of the courtyard.

Da Huang obediently went back and lay down at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the owner on the steps, with his little tail waving back and forth on the ground.

Lin Lan went down the stone steps and put the vegetable basket into the water, shook it a few times, and the pea skins were washed out with the running water.

She lifted the vegetable basket and shook it a few times before putting it back into the water, washing away all the pea skins, and then went home with the peas and closed the courtyard door.

When I got home, I scooped two scoops of water from the water tank, rinsed the peas, poured them into sand pots, added water and boiled them.

The tools for making pea cakes should not use iron, so as to ensure that the pea cakes will not change color or taste.

Before the water in the pot boiled, I took out the gauze prepared in advance and spread it on the Shau Kei, then tore a piece of white cloth one inch wide and tied it to the chopsticks, and brushed the mold with oil to avoid sticking.

The charcoal fire was very strong, and the peas in the pot boiled in a while.

Lin Lan took a spoon and stirred the peas in the jar. After cooking on high heat for a while, white foam floated in the jar. She used a spoon to skim off the foam and poured it into the bucket of boiling water. boil.

After cooking for a while, add the yellow gardenia syrup to the pot one by one. When the peas were rotten and the sand became sticky, Lin Lan picked a little bit with chopsticks and tasted it. She tasted the fragrance of peas and the sweetness of the yellow gardenia syrup. taste.

It may be because there is no pollution, Lin Lan thinks the taste is better than before.

She nodded in satisfaction, took the sand jar down with a rag pad, and poured the pea paste into the Shau Kei covered with a layer of gauze.

Lift the gauze and filter the pea puree into the mold. The pea puree that has been filtered once is more delicate.

Lin Lan scooped up the pea puree with a wooden spoon and spread it evenly in the mold, then flattened it and compacted it, covered it with gauze, cleaned the jar, the shroud, and the filter cloth, and poured it into a bucket of boiling water.

After pouring hot water to wash, he closed the door and rubbed his sore wrists, went back to the room and closed the door, went to bed and fell asleep within a dozen breaths with the pillow on it.

The next day, Lin Lan woke up as soon as the rooster crowed twice. She urinated the little beans first, then washed her hands and poured the soybeans into the pot. The big white beans were steamed in a steamer.

Sit in front of the stove with the soybeans in hand and cut all the soybeans. The big white beans and red bean paste in the steamer are cooked, and the tweeter outside is also sounding.

Only then did Lin Lan remove the gauze covering the pea cake, and saw that the pea cake had solidified, light yellow in color and delicate.

She went to the woodshed to find a piece of bamboo, measured the size on the mold, scraped off the burrs and smoothed it, and then cut it off.

Pick up the chopsticks wrapped in cloth, dip in the oil and wipe it on the dagger, measure it evenly with bamboo slices, cut the pea cake into squares, and cut a total of 120 pea cakes with two molds.

Lin Lan picked up a piece and tasted it, and it melted in the mouth. The taste was indeed sweeter, cooler and refreshing than the ones made before.

She nodded in satisfaction, took out a plate, picked up 20 yuan and put it in a bowl, picked up the remaining pea cakes and put them in a basket, and started making kidney bean rolls.

By the time she fried the orchid beans and put them all in bags, it was already dawn.

Lin Lan sandwiched the charcoal fire in the stove into the mud stove, washed a few pieces of sweet potato, scooped up half a bowl of rice, and boiled sweet potato porridge.

The red rapeseed moss in the vegetable field had already grown moss, so Lin Lan took the shiaoji to cut some, and after choosing it, she went to the ditch to wash it, and went home to rinse it with well water, and put it aside.

I washed two eggs and put them in a jar, picked up the dirty clothes in the basin, scrubbed them on the washing board, put them in the basin, and prepared to go to the drain to wash them.

I went into the room and looked at Xiaodouzi, and saw that he was fast asleep, so I took it to the ditch.

When I arrived, I saw that someone was already washing clothes on the stone steps.

Li Guizhi turned to see Lin Lan, and smiled at her: "Lin Lan, you are so early!"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "It's getting late, I'll come after you see that you have washed your face."

Li Guizhi moved the big wooden basin to the side, saw Lin Lan walking down with the basin, and thought of He Cuicui going to her house that day, saying that she went to the latrine when the cock crowed that day, and saw the lights in her house turned on and there was movement, and it had already started Do something.

He also envied Lin Lan, saying that she was capable, a woman who had the guts to go to the eucalyptus forest to do a small business, and now she brought Yang Liying to sell tofu.

In fact, she already knew that Lin Lan was selling things in the eucalyptus forest, and she also knew that the things she sold were not cheap.
