Chapter 41 Steamed cakes and mung bean cakes, let’s eat dumplings!
When Wu Zhuxiang heard her say this, she nodded and said that it was true.
"Xia Xia, sister-in-law wants to thank you."
"How do you say thank you to your family?" Yu Banxia looked up at her with a smile on her face.
Wu Zhuxiang's eyes turned red again, and then she choked up and said, "Well, we don't say thank you to our family members."
"What are you steaming in that pot?" Wu Zhuxiang wiped the corners of her eyes and went to add some firewood to the stove.
Yu Banxia replied: "I'm steaming flour."
"Ah? Steaming flour? What for?" Wu Zhuxiang really didn't understand why they were steaming flour.
"Yesterday's steamed cake was actually a failure." Yu Banxia said as she beat the egg whites. Wu Zhuxiang added firewood, washed her hands, and walked over to her to take over her work.
While beating the egg whites, he said, "The one from yesterday wasn't good? But it tasted good to me, so soft. I've never eaten anything so delicious."
"Then try today's, it will taste better." Yu Banxia blinked.
Yu Banxia came back from the field with some leeks in her basket. When she saw Yu Banxia, she said, "Xia Xia, you said yesterday that you wanted to eat dumplings. I'll make them for you today."
"Okay, sister, you are so nice." Yu Banxia acted coquettishly towards her.
While saying to Wu Zhuxiang and the others, "Actually, I have a lot of flour in that space. It can be planted in that space, and the time is different from outside."
"It will be ready for harvest in January, but I need some cover, otherwise everyone will wonder where I get my food from."
"Your space is so magical. Not only can it protect you, but it can also grow crops?"
"Well, maybe it has something to do with the wood-related ability I obtained. I can promote the growth of plants, and the products in my space are all improved by the spirit of the instrument."
"After the wheat is harvested this time, the whole village will switch to planting the improved rice in my space. That one is more fragrant."
As he spoke, Yu Banxia took out some rice from his own space.
"This rice is surprisingly white and plump, and smells delicious." Yu Banyue grabbed a handful, smelled it, and put it in front of Wu Zhuxiang.
Wu Zhuxiang also nodded repeatedly, and then she took out another 100 kilograms of fine flour.
"This is highly refined flour. It tastes chewier, but kneading the dough is relatively difficult."
"Let me try." Wu Zhuxiang had just finished beating the egg whites. Although she had been working all year round, she didn't feel tired.
Spend the remaining half a month cleaning the leeks and drying them in the sun to dry them.
"Xia Xia, bring out some meat for my sister." Yu Banyue walked to Yu Banxia and asked for meat. Yu Banxia nodded and raised her hand, and a piece of meat appeared on the table.
Yu Banyue took it directly. There was no difference from what he had put in yesterday.
"Xia Xia, you can't leave home casually in the future, otherwise we will have no fresh food to eat." Yu Banyue joked.
Yu Banxia said, "There is also a mysterious ice cave in my space. The ice in it never melts all year round and is extremely cold. A small piece of it is enough for a long time."
"I'll ask my brother-in-law to build an ice cellar, and I'll put some ordinary ice and black ice in it."
"This way we have a natural ice cellar at home. When the weather gets warmer, I'll bring you some ice to put in your house. It will definitely keep you cool enough to cover yourself with a blanket at night."
Yu Banyue's eyes were filled with amazement: "Is it so magical? Why won't this mysterious ice melt?"
"Because it's something used by immortals, it can be considered a kind of refining material. It needs immortal fire to melt it. I'm not sure about the details."
"So that's how it is." The two aunts and sisters-in-law were very curious and wanted to take a look.
Yu Banxia then took out a piece of black ice the size of a thumb. This was thousand-year-old black ice. It was cold, but it would not cause frostbite if it touched the flesh.
It is a magical treasure from heaven and earth. If there was no Xiaobai, even if Yu Banxia had mastered the wood-related supernatural power, she would not be able to make any white mark.
While the three aunts and sisters-in-law were chatting and laughing, they put the cake into the mold and put it on the steamer.
Mung bean cakes are also placed in the steamer.
The three aunts and sisters-in-law started to make dumplings. At Yu Banxia's request, Wu Zhuxiang made a pot of dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs, and another pot of dumplings stuffed with leeks and meat.
"Wow, our Xia Xia's dumplings are so beautiful." Wu Zhuxiang looked at the ones Yu Banxia made, then leaned over to take a closer look.
Yu Banxia was also teaching her, and soon, Yu Banxia taught them several different ways of making dumplings.
Bianshi is dumplings, so the rest of the summer berries are just that.
There is no insistence that these are dumplings.
When the dumplings were almost done, Yu Hongwen and others came back from the fields.
"Let's eat dumplings today. Wow, these dumplings are so beautiful." Fan Cuilan came in after washing her hands and saw her two aunts and sisters-in-law making dumplings.
Xia Lian took Yingyue to play under the eaves. From time to time, she would peek into the kitchen and sniff. She was so adorable.
Yu Banxia had seen it several times, and her face was always smiling.
After washing my hands and opening the steamer, a scent of milk and mung beans wafted out.
"Lian'er, Yingyue, come here." Yu Banxia took a small bowl and put a piece of steamed cake for the two of them. Today's one had a little bear pattern on it, which was so cute.
"Auntie, it smells so good."
"Aunt, it smells good." Yingyue also said in a baby voice.
Yu Banxia’s brothers and sisters are all handsome boys and beautiful girls, and the little ones in the family are naturally good-looking too.
Fan Cuilan was also a famous beauty in the area, and she had a gentle personality.
Yu Banxia looks more like Fan Cuilan, and is much sweeter, which makes people happy when they look at her.
"Oh, which one smells better, the cake or my aunt?" Yu Banxia pinched the little girl's cheek lovingly.
Yingyue giggled and said in a baby voice, "They all smell good. Auntie smells good, and the cake smells good too."
“Hahaha, you clever little girl.” Yu Banxia was amused by her and patted her little butt and said, “Go eat with your sister. There will be delicious mung bean cakes later.”
"good."
Fan Cuilan had already made some space for her, and Yu Banxia took the steamed mung bean cake over there.
Take out the mold, and then stain your clean hands with heated and then cooled soybean oil.
Roll the mung bean cake into small balls, put it into the mold and press it, and a piece of mung bean cake will come out.
If it didn't fall apart, it means it was successful.
"Dad, do you want to try it? Is it delicious?" Yu Banxia handed the mung bean cake to his father.
Yu Hongwen took it happily and took a bite: "Hmm, delicious, not sweet or greasy, fresh and refreshing. It would taste better if it were a little cooler."
"That's good." Yu Banxia was instantly happy.
She continued to work on it, and soon, the mung bean cakes were all done.
The finished product was flawless and perfect, with a total of ninety-three pieces of cake and seventy-one pieces of mung bean cake.
These steamed cakes are placed in a nice little bamboo basket, and the mung bean cake is also placed in a long white porcelain plate. The light green color accompanies the white porcelain plate, which looks so beautiful.
"Madam, these will definitely sell well." Yu Hongwen said happily as he looked at the finished products.
There are some defects on the edges, but it does not affect the eating.
"Yes, I originally had confidence in our Xia Xia. Now after seeing these, I feel completely at ease." Fan Cuilan also said with a smile.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Yu Banxia was full of pride, pride and doting.
