Ten years as a substitute!Now that she leaves, she regrets it too much

Chapter 808: Work hard together
Zhang Zhejie was confused by Ruo Jia's sudden enthusiasm. The two had been kissing for a long time, and he finally realized, "My dear wife, what's wrong with you?"

Although Ruojia was very enthusiastic towards him on weekdays, she basically stayed behind the crowd. This was the first time that Lao Zhang had experienced such an uncharacteristic behavior today.

"It's alright."

Ruojia smiled and took Zhang Zhejie's arm, "Originally I planned to reward you, but you have worked so hard these days."

Am I working hard?
Zhang Zhejie scratched his head. Although it was a shame in his heart, he agreed happily: "I am very grateful to the leader for discovering my enthusiasm for work."

"Okay, don't talk so much here."

Ruojia pushed him gently and turned to Jiang An at random: "Would you like us to help?"

"that would be great."

Before Jiang An could speak, Lin Xixi ran over and pulled Ruojia into the kitchen: "You don't know that just making those beans made people dizzy. Did you see this?" The only thing in the pot is beans and jujubes, and I’m almost exhausted anyway.”

While talking, Lin Xixi rubbed her sore and swollen thighs: "Really, if I had known it would be so troublesome, I definitely wouldn't have let Teacher Jiang do it."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Ruojia smiled and pulled Lin Xixi and said, "Why are we all greedy cats?"

"So you really want to eat it, right?"

Ruojia nodded simply, "Yeah, didn't you talk about it that day? I'm particularly curious about the rice cakes in the north."

When the two girls said this, Jiang An immediately turned to Zhang Zhejie, "How about it, brother, are you going to continue to be lazy?"

Lao Zhang, who had just been kissed wildly and was already stunned, now had a feverish mind, "Let me tell you, brother, I am full of strength now, let alone making rice cakes, you can even ask me to fight the Nian beast. ."

"Okay, let's start now."

Jiang An said, and organized everyone to work together. They had prepared so many ingredients, and they would definitely not be able to make it with only one pot.

After some discussion, Jiang An still adopted the old method, adding a large pot to the Chinese kitchen and a large pot to the Western kitchen, and then evenly spread corn leaves on top.

But it sounds simple, but when it came time to operate, Lao Zhang was the first to have a problem, "These corn leaves can't hold these glutinous rice flour."

He had just sprinkled the beaten glutinous rice flour on the corn leaves, but as he sprinkled it, it all leaked out, turning the water in the pot into a bowl of slurry.

"Master Zhang, let's just slow down a little bit, okay?"

Sighing, Jiang An could only teach him step by step.

First, stack the corn leaves in layers to ensure there are no gaps, and then gently sprinkle the glutinous rice flour mixed with sugar in. The speed should be slow and even.

"Did you see it? Only rice cakes steamed in this way taste good. If they are piled too tightly, the texture will be very hard."

While talking, Jiang An brought the honey beans again, sprinkled these beans in as before, and continued to sprinkle glutinous rice flour after covering the ground.

Zhang Zhejie looked at him blankly, "You're not going to let me do it alone, are you?"

Jiang An ignored him and turned around to go to the Western Kitchen.

The two girls did a very good job. Not only did they lay the paving evenly, they were also very fast.

At this time, all the glutinous rice flour and fillings have been laid out, especially when they arranged a few little rabbits with red dates on top.

"Teacher Jiang, do you think what I did is beautiful?"

Lin Xixi took his arm and looked like she was about to praise me. Jiang An glanced at it and admitted that they did a good job. The question is whose rice cake has so many fillings.

Although they had used up all the glutinous rice flour, the top layer was too thin, the bottom layer was too thick, and most of the middle was filled with various fillings. In this case, it would be difficult for the rice cake to mature.

"Do you still have these words?"

Xiao Lin scratched her head immediately. What she was most worried about now was that Jiang An would let them separate the glutinous rice flour and fillings again.

If it were to be reworked, it would definitely be a huge project, and it feels dark just thinking about it.

"That's not the case." Jiang An thought for a moment, "Although it's not very mature, maybe it can be solved by increasing the cooking time."

With more people and greater strength, work can be done quickly. In less than an hour, two large pots of rice cakes were put into the steamer.

As it continues to heat up, the heat inside the pot can gradually smell a little bit of the aroma of glutinous rice and the sweetness of the fillings.

At this moment, several people were sitting in the living room playing cards, but as the sweet and attractive aroma slowly came from the study, Lin Xixi and Ruojia couldn't sit still: "Why is Teacher Jiang's glutinous rice cake so fragrant?" Ah." "The food I eat in Shanghai doesn't seem to have such a rich flavor."

When it comes to Ji'angan, it is inevitable to say one more thing.

After all, this is the north. Although it has been said since ancient times that the south is a land of plenty, all the tributes used in the Millimeter Palace come from the north.

Not to mention anything else, the quality of glutinous rice alone is many times better than that in the south.

Because the soil, climate, sunshine, rain and dew here are very suitable for the growth of crops.

“Not only is the quality of the glutinous rice very good, but also the fillings used today are all high-quality ingredients. Good things have good taste, and the simpler the preparation method, the stronger the original aroma will be. .”

He talked a lot here, but what Lin Xixi really cared about was when she could eat rice cakes made by herself.

"I'm afraid this will have to wait." Jiang An rubbed his eyes: "It will take at least four or five hours. Water needs to be added continuously during the process, otherwise the rice cake will not be steamed through and there will be a hard core inside."

"It took so long?"

At that time, Lin Xixi felt like she was ascending to heaven: "If I keep waiting, I will definitely be starved to death."

"How about ordering some takeout?"

Zhang Zhejie just accidentally grabbed a few takeout red envelopes on his mobile phone: "Don't you think these are three delicacies from Youdi? Just in time for us to get something to eat."

Even if they wanted to cook today, they had no chance, as all their energy was occupied by rice cakes.

Jiang An unanimously approved this suggestion and told Zhang Zhejie: ​​"Let's order some dinner together. Anyway, with this attitude, I don't think we can cook tonight."

"why?"

For Zhang Zhejie, eating takeout is simply a kind of torture.

When they were in Shanghai, although he would cook for Ruojia every day, the two of them relied on takeaways most of the time in order to save time.

"Wouldn't it be possible to get all the rice cakes in four or five hours?"

Jiang An could only say that she thought too simply: "Although the heat was enough at that time, if you want to make the rice cakes more delicious, you need to suffocate all the heat inside, and you think when the pot is hot, we Is there any way to take it off?"

"Ok."

Although he was helpless, Lao Zhang also knew that he had no other choice. He simply ordered some takeout and the few of them continued to sit in the living room and play cards. However, this kind of game would become boring after a long time.

The first person who couldn't sit still was Zhang Zhejie: ​​"How about we play mahjong for a while? I'm really not interested in just scanning the cards."

"It's okay to play mahjong, but have you brought the money?"

Jiang An has not forgotten yet. The last time a few people stayed up all night playing mahjong, Lao Zhang's arrogant look looked like he was the God of Gamblers.

But it should be said that Zhang Zhejie's poker skills are indeed better, and his loss that day was not too bad.

"Bring money?"

Lao Zhang was delighted: "Do I need to bring money to play cards with you? Brother, last time you lost to me for a month, what will you do this time?"

"I really lost last time?"

Jiang An's eyelids raised: "Why do I remember that you lost to me?"

"Freeze said."

Zhang Zhejie retorted at the time: "If I lose to you, then let's have a good fight this time."

They said these things to each other mainly to pass the time. Besides, it is normal for brothers to joke around.

Jiang An made a decision here and took them to the chess and card room.

The chess and card room in this villa is very luxuriously decorated. Although it has no windows, it has an indoor fresh air system, which can definitely ensure an adequate environment and fresh air supply.

Another important thing to mention is the mahjong table here.

Jiang An knocked on it: "The entire mahjong table is made of pure solid wood. I still remember that my grandfather spent a lot of money when he bought this. He liked it very much, but no one wanted to play with him. ."
