Chapter 252 Protect My Pot

This job is actually quite fun at first, but as time goes by, my hands become sore.

Moreover, Tuanzi had not started to practice her hand skills. Her hands were weak. Others rubbed the balls with one hand, but she could only use both hands... She did manage to rub them into a pretty round shape, but after rubbing for a quarter of an hour she couldn't do it anymore. Her two little arms were extremely sore.

Xinbao blinked his big eyes and suggested weakly: "How about we just do this?"

“How dare you!” Madam Lin glared at her and said with a stern face: “Just now when I was pouring the flour, who was it that pressed my hand and kept telling me to pour, pour, pour… If you don’t finish rubbing all this flour, I’ll show you how I’ll deal with you!”

Yuan Yaochu laughed and said, "Xinbaoer is just a dumpling. If there are no small dumplings, we have to cook big dumplings! Woohoo, are you afraid?!"

Xinbao sighed, looked at him with a look that said "You are so childish!", and continued rubbing with difficulty.

As Tang Si Ge rubbed the dough, he said, "I was wondering, can this stuff really be sold? Cornstarch is more expensive than wheat flour, and there's also brown sugar, goat milk, and black tea... How much is this cup? Will anyone buy it?"

Xinbao said, "You can sell them separately! These pearls are delicious when eaten alone!"

Fourth Brother Tang said, "It's expensive to sell them separately! I just asked, and Yuru said that a sheep can only produce three pounds of milk a day, and it costs money to buy and raise sheep... And if the most ordinary black tea is two cents a pound, if you want a strong tea flavor, one pound can only make a few dozen cups of tea? A cup of 'milk tea' with half a pound of milk? That's not cost-effective, a cup of tea must be sold for two cents, right? A cup of sugarcane juice is only ten cents! This is too expensive!"

"There are also these small balls, no, pearls. How many balls can be made from one pound of cornstarch? This..." He scooped up his hands: "One handful can make a bowl, so these should be ten handfuls, right? Do I need to add anything else?"

Xinbao was stunned by his nagging: "You can pour syrup on it, or you can wrap it in a pancake and bake it into a snack!"

"It's OK to pour sugar syrup on it, it's not too expensive," said Tang Si Ge, "Twenty cents a small bowl? It's still worth selling."

Madam Lin said, "Don't think too much. Even if we can sell it, we're moving before the New Year. So don't bother. Let's just cook it and eat it ourselves."

Yuan Yaochu also said: "Let's make it and try it first. I don't think it tastes very good."

Yan Shiyi couldn't help but interrupt: "Can't you roll it into long strips and cut it into pieces?"

The actions of several people paused, and they looked at him silently. Then Yan Shiyi was stunned for a moment, and quickly tried to save face: "I was just talking nonsense. I don't know how to do this. Maybe the cut is not round enough?"

"No, you didn't say that! You should have said it earlier!" Madam Lin said, "Why would you want to make it so round when you eat it at home!"

So she immediately took out the panel, and rolled it into long strips slightly thicker than chopsticks. Then she cut it into small pieces with very skillful and even movements, and it was obvious that she had practiced this technique.

Then it was cooked in a pot, and brown sugar syrup was boiled separately. Everyone took a small bowl and started to taste it.

The red sugar syrup is still very sweet, and the pearls are also sweet, and they are chewy in the mouth. Xinbao was shaking his head while eating, and he was very satisfied.

Several people also said: "Delicious! Very delicious!"

Yu Ru whispered, "Wouldn't it be a bit greasy? In fact, can we pour other sauces on it?"

Brother Xiaowu nodded vigorously while eating: "Yes, it's too sweet, how about pouring some soy sauce on it?"

Several people turned to look at him speechlessly. Yuan Yaochu said, "Pouring soy sauce on snacks?? How did you come up with that?"

Brother Xiaowu said, "I just thought that if I eat sweet and salty food together, I won't feel sick of it, right?"

Yuan Yaochu sighed and said, "This is actually just a small glutinous rice dumpling! It's just more chewy than a small glutinous rice dumpling!"

"Yes," said Tang Si Ge, "I think it looks like a small dumpling, too. Do you think it can be sold?"

"I think it's not easy to sell," Yuan Yaochu said, "Once people have eaten it and it's out of filling, won't they come to you?"

"Too!"

Several people were talking while eating.

They only made two kilograms of noodles in total. With so many people, if everyone tried a bowl, it would be gone. Xinbao saw that they had finished eating, so he quickly put down the bowl and opened his little hands to block them: "Don't eat anymore, Daddy, Big Brother, and Xiaoxian Brother haven't eaten yet!!"

Yuan Yaochu laughed and said, "You are so stingy! I even helped you rub the ball!"

He knocked Tuanzi on the head and said, "I don't want to eat anymore. I'll put the bowl down!"

Xinbao stretched out his hand in a very childish way: "Xinbao will help you put it away."

Yuan Yaochu sighed, put the bowl in her hands, and called the twins: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk to help digest the food!"

The three of them ran away. Madam Lin and Yu Ru sat and talked, while An Shun, Yan Shiyi and Fourth Brother Tang were also discussing while counting the accounts.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Only Xinbao conscientiously protects her pot.

While protecting them, she ate all the pearls in her small bowl. She licked the spoon for a long time with a look of unsatisfied desire, and thought that there were actually still a lot of pearls in the pot, so it would not matter if she ate one or two more.

So she walked to the stove, put a stool on it, and served another one... Seeing that there were still so many in the pot, she thought that six good luck was not bad, so she served six more.

After finishing the meal happily, she thought hard for a while and felt that based on her friendship with her father, elder brother and brother Xiaoxian, she could still negotiate to have two for each of them… so she served six more, and then added the two that Xinbao already had, making a total of eight, which was very auspicious.

Then……

Then……

There is a saying that children are creatures that are always up to something when they are quiet.

But Xinbao was a good kid who never did anything naughty, so her mother let down her guard. It was not until much later that Mrs. Lin finally remembered that she had a daughter. When she stuck her head out, she was startled: "Xinbao! What are you doing on the stove?"

She walked in quickly, lifted her daughter down, and looked into the pot with wide eyes: "Xinbao! How much did you eat?!"

Xinbao was lifted down. He tilted his face up, licked his lips silently, and blinked his big eyes innocently...How much was it?

When Yan Shenjue came back, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Tuanzi crying.

Yan Shen Jue was slightly startled, jumped off the horse quickly, rushed into the door, and asked, "What happened to Xinbao?"

Madam Lin was rubbing Xinbao's belly. Xinbao's forehead was covered with sweat, and his cries were weak and soft, without any strength. When he saw him, he seemed to be aggrieved. His little face wrinkled and tears fell down.

Yan Shenjue felt so distressed that he hurried over, held her hand, and asked, "What happened?"

Madam Lin felt distressed and amused: "We were trying to make the pearls. After they were cooked, everyone tasted a bowl, and there was still half a pot left. She was so stingy that she wouldn't let anyone eat it, and insisted on saving it for you. As a result, I was talking outside for a while, and she secretly ate half a pot by herself! Cornstarch is hard to digest, and she woke up from her nap in pain."
