Next, Cheng Yue found two free laborers for herself, and asked Xie and Du Xifeng to rub the ice powder seeds while she went to get cassava.
She also has to fill it with water from time to time.
After grinding the cassava flour, Cheng Yue put the rice that had been soaked in the morning into the graphite and rolled it into rice slurry.
Thanks to the help of Xie and Du Xifeng, Cheng Yue invited them to have dinner at Cheng's house and try the ice jelly they made by themselves.
Mrs. Xie was in a bit of a dilemma. She had just been treated to a meal by the Cheng family yesterday, and now she was eating at the Cheng family again tonight. She felt a bit embarrassed.
Cheng Yue finally managed to keep the person after much persuasion, and asked someone to invite the entire Zhang family to come for dinner.
Zhang Lizheng and his wife decided that they must prepare a table to treat the Cheng family to dinner tomorrow no matter what.
When the Zhang family came, the Cheng family had to set up two tables.
Fortunately, Cheng Wen knows how to cook now, otherwise it would take him a while to cook alone.
Cheng Shun was muttering to himself, but after having two drinks with Zhang Lizheng, his mood improved. He was only fierce on the surface.
Cheng Yue doesn't drink, so after dinner, he called the women to the kitchen.
The ice jelly has been cooled in the well. Now all we need to do is boil brown sugar water, fry peanuts and crush them, and then make cold shrimps.
Cold shrimps are made with rice paste. The soaked rice is ground into rice paste with graphite, then put into a pot and boiled. Quicklime water is added and finally strained with a colander to make cold shrimps.
Cheng Yue went to a tofu seller to get some gypsum to replace quicklime water, and she was still able to make cold shrimps.
Boil the brown sugar until it is very soft and set aside to cool.
After the peanuts are fried, put them into a stone bowl and crush them.
The cold shrimps were drained with a colander and placed in the basin.
"Hey, the name Fatty picked is really right. This thing looks just like a small shrimp! If you cool it down with cold water, it's called a cold shrimp. Hahahaha..."
Jiang said while holding the child and looking at the cold shrimps in the basin.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with this fat girl's head? How can she come up with so many ideas? This ice jelly, I don't even need to taste it, I can tell it's delicious!"
The village head's wife said with a smile.
"Hehehe, ever since I was little I've felt that my Fatty is different from other girls. She doesn't cry or make a fuss, she just plays by herself. Back then I thought she must be figuring out something we don't know. See, I was right! After almost twenty years, my Fatty has finally figured it out and is taking action! When Fatty takes action, it's different!"
Jiang was so happy!
Who doesn’t want others to praise their children?
Some parents may be happy in their hearts, but they still need to be humble on the surface.
But as for Jiang and Cheng Shun, whenever someone praises their children, they will praise them even more than others.
Cheng Yue couldn't help laughing. Her mother was really not modest!
Soon, Cheng Yue went to the well and fished out the basin of cold ice jelly that had just been put in.
She took out the bowl and chopsticks and started scooping the ice jelly.
A spoonful of ice jelly, half a spoonful of cold shrimp, half a spoonful of brown sugar, crushed peanuts, and a few raisins.
These raisins were already in our home and were bought at a preserved fruit shop in the city.
"Mingzhu, Lanhua, come here and serve!"
Cheng Yue called the two little girls over, gave each of them a tray, and took it to the main room for the men who were still drinking, as well as the brothers Jin Yan and Jin Xing who were in their own room.
"Everyone, come and try it and see how it tastes."
Cheng Yue greeted the women in the kitchen again.
