An Wanwan glanced at it and said, "That's enough, there's plenty more than that."

Upon hearing this...

With a smile in her eyes, Anke asked, "Didn't you say that rice flour is made from glutinous rice? How do we make it next?"

Even the rice tastes so good.

Food made with glutinous rice will definitely taste better.

He was getting impatient.

An Wanwan told him the truth: "I can't make glutinous rice flour for now. To make glutinous rice flour, you have to soak it in water for several hours until the glutinous rice fully absorbs the water. Then you have to submerge the soaked glutinous rice into a paste, put it in a pot and cook it until it boils. Stir it well, pour it into a mold and let it cool before you can get glutinous rice flour."

"So troublesome..."

Anke muttered something.

Su Yueniang overheard him saying this when she returned from the outhouse, and couldn't help but start talking about him.

"You silly child, you think everything is so easy?"

"Mom, I didn't say that. Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to soak the glutinous rice. There are still some hours before dark. If I hurry, we might be able to have mulberry leaf tofu tonight."

Anke is a foodie; her eyes light up when she talks about food.

After dinner.

An Wanwan picked up the soaked glutinous rice and checked it. Seeing that it wasn't soaked enough, she decided to get up early the next morning to make mulberry leaf tofu.

An Ke didn't get to eat the mulberry leaf tofu she had been longing for, and she kept talking about it in her sleep, which made An Cheng and An Shi curious about what mulberry leaf tofu tasted like.

early morning.

An Wanwan got up before dawn.

Hearing the noise, An Miaomiao opened her eyes and found that it was still dark outside. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Wanwan, why did you get up so early today? Even if you're going to make mulberry leaf tofu, you don't need to get up so early!"

"I can't sleep, you should sleep a little longer."

An Wanwan combed her hair and walked out.

An Miaomiao rolled over and hugged the blanket to continue sleeping. She went to bed later than An Wanwan at night, so she naturally wanted to sleep more now.

Su Yueniang also got up early.

Not long after An Wanwan got up, she got up too.

Seeing An Wanwan busy in the kitchen, Su Yueniang went over and woke up An Ke, who was still asleep: "Xiao Ke, haven't you been thinking about mulberry leaf tofu? Hurry up and get up to help your sister make it."

"oh!"

Anke quickly sat up.

An Cheng woke up, and they all went to the kitchen to help An Wanwan make mulberry leaf tofu.

An Wanwan handed over the task of making glutinous rice flour to An Cheng and An Ke. She and Su Yueniang took turns washing the pot and boiling water.

I was unable to make rice flour yesterday.

I didn't blanch the mulberry leaves yesterday, so I boiled water again to blanch them today.

After scalding, it needs to be mashed.

There was only one stone mortar in the house, and it would be too slow for one person to pound the mortar. After thinking for a while, An Wanwan chose a sturdier earthenware pot and pounded the mortar with Su Yueniang.

Pound it well.

When Su Yueniang learned that filtering was required, she took the cloth that she used to filter soybean dregs and used it to filter the pounded mulberry leaves.

Under An Wanwan's manipulation, the bright green juice seeped out little by little from under the cloth and dripped into the ceramic bowl below.

The next step is to burn the wood ash.

An Wanwan had prepared it yesterday. She chose the dry straw that hadn't been used up last year. After lighting it with a tinderbox, the dry straw turned into a pile of ash in no time.

Wait until the ashes cool down.

An Wanwan soaked some in warm water.

Seeing that An Wanwan was not only filtering the crushed mulberry leaves, but also filtering the soaked rice straw ash, Su Yueniang couldn't help but ask, "Wanwan, what are you doing? What are you filtering this rice straw ash for? You can't eat it, can you?"
