Qin Xi's Rebirth Daily

Chapter 33 Rice Crackers
Inside the warm quilt, only a head of jet-black long hair was seen. Suddenly the quilt was flipped, and the person inside arched a few times, revealing a white, tender, smooth and beautiful face with a slight redness, which looked very attractive.After a while, he got up as if he hadn't closed his eyes, stretched out a hand like white jade, and rubbed his eyes a few times.

"Hiss", it's so cold!Qin Xi hurriedly put his hands back under the quilt, then bent his legs, buried his head and rubbed his face against the bent quilt.what!I really don't want to get up, but unfortunately I can't!Today is the 29th day of the lunar calendar. I have to get up early to help out making rice cakes today, otherwise I may not be able to finish it by dinner time!
Qin Xi, who got up early in the morning, started to get busy after washing up.According to the rules of previous years, find out the three molds for making rice cakes at home. One mold is thick, and you can make three at a time.The other two molds are thin, and they are made two at a time.Put it in boiling water for a while, then take it out to dry.Then use hot water to wash the sieve of steamed rice cakes (the kind with relatively small holes), then wash two or three spoons, then wash a kitchen knife, and then take it out to dry.

After finishing these, Qin Xi took out the tools for crushing peanuts at home, crushed the peanuts and sesame seeds that Qin Ma had just fried, and ground them like coarse sand, poured them out, and continued to grind.

After grinding the peanuts and sesame seeds, Mama Qin cooked the dishes, so the family began to eat breakfast.After eating, Qin Ma went to feed the pigs and chickens. Qin Xi cleaned the big frying pan that Qin Ma had been cooking just now, scooped two ladles of water into the pot, and then put the tool to support the sieve into it.

Qin Xi found the tablecloth that had been cleaned two days ago, and called out, "Ah Xiang!"

"Sister, what do you call me?"

"Come here, help me tighten the tablecloth." After seeing his younger sister Qin Xiang coming, he began to tell his elder brother Qin Mu: "Amu, bring here the wooden shelf where the rice cooker is placed for dinner at night."

After finishing the tablecloth, Qin Xi brought the sugar water made by Qin Ma's boiling water and sugar last night, and put it on the wooden shelf brought by his elder brother Qin Mu.Then, move out the rice noodles that have been beaten before and put them on the table.

After finishing, Mother Qin also washed her hands and came in.He began to order the work: "Axi, you are responsible for peeling off the rice noodles that exceed the mold with a kitchen knife", then handed three spoons to the three younger brothers and sisters, and ordered: "Shoot the part of the rice cake that leaked out of the mold, and grind it smooth. , and then hand it over to your eldest sister, Ah Xi, you can use the back of the kitchen knife to beat them out and put them in the sieve. When they are full, put them in the pot to steam.

Then Mama Qin scooped up a bowl of powder with a bowl, dug a hole in the middle to prevent a spoonful of sugar water, and then started kneading the powder.When the flour was almost mixed, Qin Ma grabbed a handful of ground peanuts and sesame seeds, sprinkled them in, and continued mixing.After reconciling, take the mold, put the powder into the rice cake mold, and press it with two thumbs. After the three seals of the entire mold are made, Qin Xi takes it over, quickly cuts off the excess, and then Pass it to my sister to smooth it out, then tap the edge of the mold a few times, pour it into the sieve, and it will come out.The pattern is clear, it does not stick to the mold, and it does not scatter. The ratio of powder and powder should be done according to this.When the sieve was almost full, Qin Xi first heated the water in the pot, and when the sieve was full, put the sieve into the pot and put the lid on.After the water boiled for 5 minutes, Qin Xi opened the lid, wrapped the edge of the sieve with a towel, and lifted it out.Then I took a rice cake and took a bite, the sweetness was just right.

"Mom, I tried it. The sugar is just right. It's delicious." Then, I took another rice cake and handed it to my mother, asking her to take a bite.

"Well, yes, it's just right, and it's quite delicious. It feels better than last year's!"

"Elder sister, I want it too." Younger brother Qin Feng saw that the eldest sister and mother were eating, but he didn't have any, and the rice cakes were delicious, Ah Feng really wanted to eat them.

Qin Xi watched his younger brother Qin Feng smell the scent, the cuteness of his nose protruding, and the look of eagerness on his face. He picked a thin rice cake, held it in his hand for a while, and then handed it to him after he found that it was not hot. "Ah Xiang, Ah Mu, if you want to eat, go and get it. Take the upper layer first, the lower layer is a bit hot."

Then, while eating the rice cakes I had held earlier, I handed her the cakes my mother had just eaten to continue eating, while my mother continued to work and make noodles.After eating, Qin Xi first went to pour two bowls of boiling water and put them aside, waiting for the two younger brothers to drink when they were thirsty.

"Ah Fang, how much have you guys done?" Grandma Wei Xiaomei was ready to come over to help after she finished her work.

"I just made a sieve." Mother Qin replied.

"The sieved rice cakes I just made are just there. They are still warm, soft and milky. Let's eat a few! My mother even said that they are better than last year's ones!"

The younger brother Qin Feng just finished eating one, and was about to eat another, and joined in the fun: "It's delicious! Grandma, Ah Feng still wants it!"

Wei Xiaomei liked it very much when she saw that her little grandson looked chubby and could eat. "Okay, grandma will bring you another one." Then he picked out a thin one, held it in his hand and found that it was not hot, and handed it to his little grandson.

Then, I took one and tasted it myself: "Well, it is indeed better than last year's. The sugar is just right, unlike last year's one, which is either too sweet or not sweet enough."

After Grandma Qin finished eating, she was in charge of steaming the rice cakes at a faster speed.After a while, another sieve was steamed. Qin Xi was in charge of peeling off the excess and knocking out the rice cakes, while his younger sister Qin Xiang was in charge of smoothing them.The older brother makes soy sauce, and he helps out after a while. Most of the time, he and the younger brother are eating rice cakes and playing.

"Sister, I'm thirsty!" The younger brother held half a rice cake in one hand and pulled Qin Xi's pants with the other. "Sister, I want to drink water too!" Qin Mu also felt a little thirsty when he heard that Ah Feng wanted to drink water.

I had expected that the two children would want to drink water after eating too much rice cakes.He touched the bowl with his hand and found that the water was already cold.So I continued to add some boiling water to the two bowls to warm the cold water, and then handed them a bowl for each person to drink.After finishing drinking, Qin Xi poured two and a half bowls of water to hang in the original place, so that when the two younger brothers were thirsty, they would have water to drink immediately.

In this way, the rice cakes were not finished until it was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Dad", Qin Feng rushed towards his father like a small cannonball, and Qin's father picked up his youngest son. "Dad, I'll give you some rice cakes. They're delicious and fragrant." Not to be outdone, Qin Mu ran to Dad Qin's side and handed him his own rice cakes.After Qin's father took a bite, he sat on the chair, hugged his eldest son, and praised: "You are so cute, so delicious..."

Seeing his younger brother laughing and arguing with his father, Qin Xi also felt very happy and warm in his heart.When I turned my head, I saw my mother looking at the three of them with a gentle face and laughing, my grandma was also smiling, and my sister was very absorbed in watching, so I giggled.It's so good to be reborn O(∩_∩)O~~!
