The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 85 The dust has settled (1)

 The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is the small year.

On this day, the Mo family did not run a stall. Instead, they paid a day's wages to all the villagers who helped, and asked them to take turns taking care of the vegetable fields to guard against anyone stealing vegetables or causing trouble.

 After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, the family got busy.

Mo Qingze used a strip of cloth to wrap a small broom tightly around a four- to five-meter-long bamboo pole to clean the cobwebs and dust on the roof and corners. Li Zhong followed behind with a broom to sweep away the cobwebs and dust stuck on the roof. Dust on the walls.

Mo Yan unwrapped several quilts on the bed, washed them and dried them. Li Yan was also busy, picking up the bottles and jars in the kitchen and washing them cleanly. Xin'er was responsible for fetching water from the well. Get started.

Zhen'er, the youngest, was relaxed and guarded the stove to heat hot water. From time to time, he threw two potatoes and sweet potatoes in, roasted them and peeled them for his sisters to eat.

 After the two families worked together to finish all the hygiene, they had a simple lunch and began to prepare the sacrifices for the stove in the evening.

 Sacrifice to the stove requires sacrifices such as dates, sugar melons, eggs, and wine. Jujubes, eggs and wine can be put on the plate directly, but sugar melon needs more work.

The sugar melon used in the Dachu Sacrifice is made from fried corn mixed with maltose. This kind of sugar melon tastes crispy and sweet. The sugar melon that Mo Yan had eaten in his previous life was made of yin rice, maltose and sesame seeds.

I asked a few little ones, but they all said they had never tasted it before. Mo Yan was eager to try it, so she decided to make two kinds of ingredients: corn and yin rice and sesame. Make more and give it to them as snacks.

I just bought maltose from the shop yesterday. It weighs seven or eight kilograms and can be used to make a lot of sugar melons. Because of the low temperature, it solidifies tightly into one piece.

 Mo Yan used the back of a knife to break the maltose into small pieces as big as a basin in a ceramic basin, then put it into a pot filled with water and asked Xiner to heat up the maltose.

The outer pot was not empty either. After the pot was heated, Mo Yan poured more than two kilograms of salt into the pot. After the salt changed color, he poured half a kilogram of corn into it and started to stir-fry with a spatula. Using salt as a base will not only prevent the corn from being scorched and burnt, but also make the fried corn crispier.

 When the corns are crackling like beans and the sound of frying is no longer heard, the corns are considered ready and can be taken out of the pan. Use a sieve to dry the corn out of the pot to remove the salt, so that it will no longer taste salty.

 After frying ten pots in a row, Mo Yan started frying the rice again after five kilograms of corn kernels were fried.

 Compared with corn, Yin rice has smaller grains and is easier to fry. It can be cooked in less than ten seconds. The fried yin rice is whiter than rice, crispy and fragrant. As soon as the first pot was fried, Zhen'er ran in, filled a bowl and went out to eat.

“Sister, this is delicious. Mix it with brown sugar and it will be even more delicious!”

 After a while, Zhen'er ran in with an empty bowl and shouted that it was delicious.

Upon hearing this, Xin'er, who was sitting under the stove, couldn't wait to take the bowl and filled half a bowl of fried rice. She also put a little sugar in and mixed it. After taking the first bite, she couldn't bear to put it down.

“Sister, it’s really delicious, you should eat it too!” Xin’er said, scooping up a spoon and passing it to her sister’s mouth.

Mo Yan smiled and took a bite. She thought it tasted very good, so she asked Zhen'er to take a clean bowl, fill a large bowl with sugar, and asked him to bring it to Li Yan.

Since there was no need for help in the kitchen, Li Yan couldn't sit still. She took a needle and thread to sew the quilt cover that Mo Yan had cut two days ago in the room.

Zhen'er went in and out holding the bowl, which made Mo Qingze and Li Zhong couldn't help but get into the kitchen. Smelling the fragrant fried rice and fried corn, they felt a little hungry again, so they happily took it. Put some in the bowl to eat.
