Reborn spicy little daughter-in-law

Chapter 24 Rice Krispies Candy

After dinner, the old man lay down on the kang and took a nap.The old lady set up a pot to burn lard, let the burnt lard cool, poured it into the yin rice and stirred it well.

The yin rice is glutinous rice that has been cooked and dried in the sun long ago.Fried peanuts, black sesame came out.Take it out and put it in a basin. Kou Xi peels the peanuts carefully, and hands the peeled peanuts to Mrs. Kou.Mrs. Kou used a rolling pin to crush the peanut kernels into several pieces.

When the yin rice was soaked in lard for about two hours, the old lady pushed Mr. Kou, "Get up, fry the rice!"

Kou Xi felt sorry for the old man's body, and dissuaded him: "My grandfather can sleep if he wants to, and I can do it if you teach me."

"I slept too much at noon, so I won't be able to sleep at night!" The old lady didn't take it seriously, Kou Xi saw the old man got up and quickly twisted a wet towel and handed him to wipe his face.

The old man took the towel and wiped his face, and he was full of praise for his granddaughter's thoughtfulness: "I really grew up, my eyesight has grown."

The old lady's face froze, she glanced at Kou Xi distressedly and did not speak.

Heat up the pot and pour the yin rice soaked in lard into the pot.Because the glutinous rice will expand five or six times, you can't put too much at a time.As the temperature in the pot rises, the rice grains turn into popcorn.Remove popcorn and set aside.

Heat the pot again, add a small amount of water and some sugar to start making syrup.When the syrup can be shredded, pour the popcorn into the pot.Stir clockwise to mix the syrup and popcorn evenly.

Put it on the panel, and roll it hard with a rolling pin to make the rice grains stick together as hard as possible.The pressed rice cake candy is set aside to cool down, and the pot here is brushed and dried to continue making rice cake candy.

The cooled rice cracker candies were cut into cubes of the same size with a kitchen knife, and put in a bag to be taken with Kou Xi when he left.

Kou Xi held a piece of rice cracker candy in his mouth, it was crunchy and sweet with a moderate taste.Grandpa's craftsmanship is really good. It must be very profitable to make rice cracker candies and sell them during the Chinese New Year.

"Grandpa's craftsmanship is really good, who did you learn from?" Kou Xi was very curious, after all, the old man has always been a farmer.It's a pity not to use this skill to make money.

"In the past, there was a man named Xu Ergou on the 38th. His family can't be said to be ancestral, but he knew this craft. One year, his family couldn't help, and it happened that our family lived in the front yard of their house. We only helped a few I'm busy, I learned it!" Mr. Kou didn't take it seriously: "He can make candied melons, and you ate the big candies he made when you were young. That stuff is easy to make, and I made it for you too."

Kou Xi looked confused: "I have a little impression, so where is he now?"

"Going back to my hometown in Shandong!" Mr. Kou felt very regretful: "When the Great Northern Wilderness was built, 100 villages were to be established in the county. These 100 villages were all from Shandong. It was brought in. At that time, the Northeast was all wasteland. The people above took a board and wrote number one on it, and this village will be number one in the future. Xu Ergou and his wife gave birth here. When I get old, I want to return to the roots of the fallen leaves, so the whole family moved back."

Mrs. Kou thought about their family, and a smile appeared on her face: "Shandong people are capable and willing to endure hardships. Shandong daughter-in-laws are good at making shoes, cooking and working in the field. Xu Ergou's daughter-in-law is famous in the whole village for her shoe soles. The embroidered flowers look real." After speaking, she sighed: "I will never see you again in this life!"

Kou Xi smiled and said: "The fate of people is like this. If you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, if you are not destined to meet across the road."

The old lady Kou nodded: "Yes!" She looked at Kou Xi and said: "This couple is the same. They have been on the same boat for a hundred years and slept together for a thousand years. You and Huo An are husband and wife for life. Contradictions that come and go, you can't see or hear."

Kou Xi pursed her lips deliberately, the old lady said with a smile: "When you reach my age, think about it later. When you got angry with others for eating shredded potatoes and cabbage slices, you will feel petty when you think about it."

Kou Dewang has not said a word for the past two days, and now he said: "Don't wait until the morning after tomorrow to go home this time, I will take you back tomorrow afternoon. By the way, tell your father-in-law that you will go home for two days after the holiday."

Is this going to be a good name?Kou Xi didn't take it seriously, and thought to herself that if she often went back to her mother's house, her sister-in-law would not die of anger!

The old lady steamed the fresh potatoes, sliced ​​them and put them outside to dry.When Kou Xi was ready to go home, the potato chips were not dry enough.Kou Dewang waved his hand: "When the dried eggplant and string beans are all out, I'll send them to her together."

He took out a sack filled with potatoes, eggplants, beans, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, peppers, and cucumbers.The father and daughter got into the overcrowded car and returned to Hongqi Town.

Huo Dagui didn't expect his in-laws to personally send his daughter-in-law home with a sack of things.He hurriedly walked to the yard to greet Kou Dewang: "Oh, old Kou, come here, come in quickly!"

Kou Dewang smiled and said to Huo Dagui: "Brother, you are doing well!"

"Very good, very good!" Huo Dagui glanced at the smiling Kou Xi: "Why did you ask your father to send you back!"

"Ah, I also came to the supply and marketing cooperative to do something!" Kou Dewang explained with a smile, and Kou Xi took out the key and opened the door.Greeted Kou Dewang to help him carry the sack of things into the house.

Kou Dewang pretended to be polite: "Don't take it all from your house, get some from your mother-in-law's house."

After speaking, she said to Huo Dagui: "She told me that the vegetable field at home was flooded and there was no food to eat. I said let's get some from home. Eggplants, potatoes, peppers, and beans are not worth much."

"Oh, this kid is really stupid. Just buy some, and you can get it from your house all the way." Huo Dagui felt that Kou Xi was very sensible, and he actually knew how to dump things from his mother's house to his in-law's house.This is very much to his liking.

Huo Dagui dragged Kou Dewang into his room, and told Li Cuilian: "Go, get two dishes. I'll have a good drink with my in-laws today."

Li Cuilian nodded and left the house with a smile, and went to Kou Xi's place to see what good things she brought back from her natal family.

After he emptied the entire sack and found that there were only a few vegetables, he immediately became angry.Yin Yang said strangely: "It's just these things, oh my god, I thought it was such a good thing."

"This sack is enough for me to feed myself for two months. I'm afraid I'll die if I take too much!" Kou Xi pouted: "I can still bring back a hump!"

Li Cuilian is a master who takes advantage or loses, and pretends not to hear Kou Xi's irony.He packed the pile of vegetables into half a sack and carried them to his house.

While walking, he didn’t forget to tell Kou Xi: “You pack up and come cook. I don’t know what your dad likes to eat!”

Kou Xi pushed back neither softly nor hard: "My dad likes to eat elbows, peanuts, pig ears, sausages, and canned meat. Anyway, I like to eat whatever!"

Holding Li Cuilian's angry breath in her throat, she muttered sullenly: "I still like to eat, who doesn't know how to eat well." Doesn't it cost money to eat well?Who pays for this money?
Who is out?

Anyway, it's not Kouxi!
