Put the fried dough sticks on the sesame powder, then take out a white rice cake ball, stretch it out and press it on the fried dough sticks. With a click, the fried dough sticks will make a crisp sound.
Sprinkle thick white sugar and sesame powder on it, fold the fried dough stick in half, and the fried dough stick will wrap the glutinous rice cake.
Wrap the whole fried dough stick with glutinous rice cake and roll it in sesame powder, and it's done.
Lao Huatou wrapped the fried dough sticks with glutinous rice cakes in oil paper and handed them to Hua Wanchi. Looking at the glutinous rice cakes squeezed out from the edge of the fried dough sticks, Hua Wanchi couldn't help but take a bite.
The crispy and salty flavor wrapped in the soft and chewy sweetness brings a rich impact to the mouth.
After eating one, Hua Wanchi felt full. He licked the remaining sesame powder and sugar at the corner of his mouth, and the aftertaste lingered in his mouth.
Today's fried dough sticks and glutinous rice cakes were very successful and received unanimous praise from my family.
The next morning, several bamboo plaques were set up at the gate of the yard, with steamed buns and fried dough sticks on them.
Everyone had a clear division of labor and was busy entertaining the villagers who came to the banquet.
"Those who want to eat porridge, come here!"
"We have noodles too. Mix, boil, and stir-fry noodles over here!"
"Mochi is here!"
"The buns will be steamed soon!"
"Tofu and soy milk over here!"
The villagers all said, "Your banquets are getting better and better!"
"Everyone's life is getting better and better, what's so strange about that?"
Everyone burst into laughter and said yes.
"Yeah, Erniu is cooking noodles here too?"
Hua Ziqiang smiled and said, "I'm a good noodle cook. Just wait and eat!"
Someone was surprised: "I've been waiting to eat your noodles! I want to try how you cook it!"
"Erniu, if the food you cook isn't tasty, you'll be wasting your aunt's food or you'll get beaten!"
However, everyone swallowed their saliva when they smelled the aroma of the bone soup.
The cooked noodles were served bowl by bowl. Everyone rushed forward to pick up the bowl and slurp the noodles. After eating, they all praised the noodles.
"Don't tell me, Erniu really has some skills!"
“It’s quite delicious!”
The sumptuous breakfast made everyone look forward to the lunch banquet.
Hua Erniu was also in charge of cooking at noon. He fried a big pot of dishes and served them on plates. The Hua family members divided the work and served the dishes to the table.
Hua Xuguo shouted proudly: "Dear fellow villagers, there is wine today, plenty of it, drink as much as you want!"
Aroused a burst of cheers in response.
"Okay!"
"Wow, your family is really rich! We don't even have enough food to eat, but you're brewing wine here!"
…
There are a lot of grains, fruits and various flowers in Hua Wanchi's space. Although she doesn't drink, she asks the puppet to brew a lot of wine.
Occasionally I give a little to others or drink it at home, but I don’t consume much.
She remembered these wines during the banquet.
Let's drink, of course there is wine on the table, but these days most people consider it a feast just to have a few good dishes, so who would be willing to serve wine?
With some wine to drink, the men at the table started playing finger-guessing games, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol.
There were all kinds of delicious dishes on the table, and the festive atmosphere was extremely warm.
Because the Zhou family was marrying off their daughter, they invited people from Zhoujiaqiao to a banquet, and this banquet was particularly lively.
Hua Jingmin rode his bicycle with Zhou Baozhen from Old Zhou's house to Old Hua's house. After the bride got off the bike, he started to sprinkle candy on the banquet.
The children cheered and asked their parents to grab the food, while they quickly grabbed the candy.
After spreading candy, the newlyweds toasted everyone.
"Jingmin, I wish you a happy marriage!"
"May you have a baby soon!"
"Congratulations!"
It can be said that this banquet was even more lively than the real wedding of Hua Wanli and Hua Qingping.
Everyone knew that Zhou Baozhen had married well into the wealthy Hua family, and they all envied Old Man Zhou's good fortune.
Old Man Zhou couldn't help but smile, and said happily: "Stop talking, drink, drink!"
There were too many people at the banquet and the family was overwhelmed, so Wan Qingliu asked a few children to help.
"Come help me out today. I'll give you one dollar and I'll leave some food in the kitchen for you. Do you want to help me?"
Fang Zhaozhao's eyes lit up and he said without hesitation, "Do it! I'll do it!"
For Hua Xiangfan and the others, their brother is the one who cooks. Even if Wan Qingliu doesn't say anything, there will always be some food left for the children.
But since she has said so, she can keep some more, so Fang Zhaozhao doesn't have to take advantage of her friends.
This is her legitimate work meal!
To earn this dollar, you have to wash the vegetables and serve them, which is really tiring. But the moment you get the money, it’s all worth it!
Fang Zhaozhao and a few of his friends felt extremely satisfied!
After finishing the banquet and cleaning up the scene, the tired Hua Jingmin and Zhou Baozhen finally entered the room.
The two of them did not live in the same room. Zhou Baozhen was given a separate room and even a desk was set up for her.
Seeing that everything was newly arranged, Zhou Baozhen felt satisfied and grateful.
The Hua family took her in and gave her such a spacious place. The bedding and furniture were all new. It was better than her parents' home!
She used to share a room with several of her nieces in her own home, but now it’s so comfortable to live in a room of her own.
When Zhou Baozhen opened the wardrobe, she found it was filled with new clothes, several sets for every season of the year. Her eyes were immediately filled with tears.
I have said thank you so many times that there is no point in saying more.
She secretly swore in her heart that she would repay the Hua family in the future, especially Aunt Wan and Hua Jingmin.
The betrothal gift was naturally returned to Wan Qingliu. Zhou Baozhen was not really getting married, so she felt embarrassed to accept so much money from others. She already owed a set of three turns and one gong, and she really couldn't afford to pay it back if she asked for more money.
