Chapter 123: Ice jelly with rice tofu, absolutely amazing



Jiang Yan looked over and saw that it was two o'clock in the morning again. Tsk, this routine cannot be changed even after traveling through time.

Young people today will work themselves to death as long as they can survive. Many of them suffer from chest tightness, shortness of breath, and irregular menstruation.

Jiang Yan thought about it and threw the tablet into the space, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I had a dreamless night and woke up at almost ten o'clock the next day. Shengli had someone prepare the pig grass and his father had sent it to the brigade headquarters.

The scorekeeper records the work points, and Jiang Yan doesn't even have to make a trip.

Seeing that no one was home, Jiang Yan fetched some water to wash up. When she entered the house, she saw warm sweet potato porridge and three boiled eggs on the table.

There was no one at home to eat it, so I gave it all to her.

Jiang Yan sat down, peeled an egg, put it in the bowl, and ate it with big mouthfuls. After she finished eating everything, she washed the bowl consciously.

She went into the kitchen and saw that the cupboard was not locked. It was obvious that he was worried that she was hungry, so she could take whatever she wanted to eat!

She looked at the cookies she was reluctant to eat and sighed. The people in the Lu family were really honest! They always followed her!

The wooden basin was placed on a wooden rack on the side, and the ice powder inside had solidified.

There was no one at home, so it was convenient for Jiang Yan. She took a kitchen knife and started to cut the ice jelly. She saw a small watermelon in the corner.

She returned to her room, locked the door, and entered the orchard in space, looking at the plump and juicy black grapes, the crystal clear grapes, and the big, sweet apples.

She picked up the basket handed to her by the AI robot, picked a few mangoes, bananas, dragon fruits, and took some brown sugar and rose jam.

After leaving the space, she saw there were still sparks in the stove hole, so she took a handful of dry bamboo branches and threw them in, and it quickly ignited.

Scoop two spoonfuls of water into the pot, wash it clean with a bamboo brush, then cut the lumps of old brown sugar into pieces, throw them into the pot, and stir constantly with a spoon.

While waiting for the brown sugar to melt, Jiang Yan added an appropriate amount of rock sugar and continued to cook. After everything was cooked, she scooped in a few spoonfuls of rose jam and turned down the heat.

When it seemed like it was almost done, she poured it into a large bowl on the side, sprinkled in the dried rose flowers she used to make tea, stirred it a few times, and put it into the double-door refrigerator in the space.

Jiang Yan threw the fruits into the basin, washed them with water, placed them on the chopping board, cut them into small pieces with excellent knife skills, and poured them into the basin filled with ice jelly.

Looking at the surface covered with fruits, Jiang Yan couldn't help but slurp his saliva.

Sure enough, if you wanted to eat good food in the 1970s, you had to cook it yourself.

She poured in the QQ candy, candied dates, raisins, and dried dates she had taken from the space, sprinkled with crushed peanuts, added a handful of white sesame seeds, and then poured in four spoonfuls of frozen brown sugar rose honey.

After the ginger and bean paste are mixed evenly, look at the cool and refreshing rose jelly in the bowl, and regret that smoothie cannot be added.

There were no refrigerators in the countryside, so the fruit could be said to be brought by her, but there was no smoothie.

Just as he was about to scoop out a bowl to taste, he heard Lu Li's loud voice coming from the yard: "Sister-in-law, are you there?"

Jiang Yan walked forward, leaned against the door frame and said quietly: "If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be here for the next few decades!"

When Lu Li saw him, he grinned, "Hey, sister-in-law, I'm here to bring you some food!"

He strode over, holding a wooden basin with a lid, and carrying a lot of bags in his hands. Jiang Yan was puzzled: "What is this?"

Lu Li put the food on the stove, wiped the sweat off his face, and said with a smile: "This is the rice tofu that my mother made at four or five o'clock. She asked me to bring it to you early in the morning. I rushed to get here, but it's only now that I'm here. My mother even prepared the chili oil and other ingredients. It smells very good. Come on, I'll make you a bowl to try!"

Jiang Yan watched him take out the chopping board and pour the rice tofu on it. It was homemade, tender and smooth, and Jiang Yan could tell how delicious it was.

She asked, "Your brother didn't come!"

Lu Li laughed gloatingly: "He wanted to bring you food, but my mother called him away, saying that he wanted to buy some for the wedding. My mother couldn't carry it, so he is tall and strong, just right. I can't do it!"

Lu Li didn't feel any shame when he said that. He was not the type to endure hardship and suffering.

According to him, if you eat without crying, you are a fool. Wouldn't it be better to just lie down?

Watch him cut the rice tofu into strips, put them into a large bowl, pick coriander and onions from the backyard, crush the garlic cloves, chop the ginger, and sprinkle them on the rice tofu.

Add salt, MSG, soy sauce and vinegar, then a little sauerkraut, pickled radish cubes, fried soybeans and sesame oil, and finally, drizzle with homemade chili oil.

There is no doubt about the fragrance. Only those who have tasted it will know.

"Sister-in-law, please try it!" Lu Li handed the bowl to her attentively. Jiang Yan took it, mixed it with chopsticks, and went down in one bite.

It is not only tender and smooth, but also chewy, and has a light rice aroma when eaten carefully.

The original flavor has been lost due to industrial production in later generations. This is the authentic product!

Jiang Yan was enjoying the food so much that she almost buried her head in it. Lu Li asked, "How is it, sister-in-law?"

"Very good!" Who could understand the value of eating a bowl of cold rice tofu in the 1970s? Only Miao Xiuying was thoughtful enough to get up at four or five o'clock to make it.

Lu Li looked at the ice jelly on the side and took a sip. It was quite fragrant: "Sister-in-law, what is this! It smells sweet!"

Jiang Yan said proudly: "You forgot! We picked some thunder fruit and I made it into ice jelly. You can scoop a bowl and try it!"

Lu Li is a good eater, and this looks delicious!

He couldn't wait to scoop himself a big bowl, and after taking a bite, he was also intoxicated by the fragrance.

He nodded hurriedly: "Good...delicious!"

Jiang Yan looked proud and said, "I did it!"

"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome!"

In this weather, a bowl of ice jelly is quite refreshing.

The two of them ate with gusto, and the people who were working came back.

Shengli sniffed and poked his head out from the door frame. Seeing the two people eating delicious food, he kept swallowing his saliva: "Aunt, is there any for me?"

Jiang Yan waved at him: "Yes, drink the ice jelly first, and let your uncle make you some cold rice tofu!"

Lu Li put down the bowl and started to cut rice tofu. The people working were on an empty stomach, so how could they wait for him to finish eating?

Lu Jiandang walked in and looked at what was on the stove. He was surprised: "What is this?"

Lu Li said without even looking up: "Uncle, this is the rice tofu my mother made. She asked me to bring it here for you to try. We'll have this for lunch and cook dinner in the evening."

Zhang Yulan came in and saw what was in Lu Li's bowl. She smiled and said, "This must have been made by Xiaoyan! Oh, it smells so good. You must have put a lot of rare things in it!"

Jiang Yan burped after eating. Mmm! It smells so good.

She narrowed her eyes and said contentedly, "Auntie, I'll have a bowl of rice tofu and a bowl of refreshing ice jelly. This life is so beautiful!"

Chen Min was so happy that her teeth were showing and her eyes were not visible: "It has aroused the greed in my stomach!"

She took the bowl and scooped ice jelly for Zhang Yulan and Lu Jiandang, then Fang Cui, and then the men and children in the family.

Finally, it was her turn.

With one bite, the sweet and refreshing taste of the ice jelly plus the fragrance of roses can make the stuffy summer heat disappear.

Jiang Yan held the bowl and waited for him to mix the food for other people in the family before asking him to mix a bowl for herself.

Seeing her finish eating, Lu Li asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, can you eat more?"

"Burp, no... no more!" Jiang Yan's belly was so full from eating so much. She hadn't felt so full in a long time.

The others also ate two or three bowls, and they still felt unsatisfied even after they had finished them.
