Whole life?
Qin Xiang'e looked at Ye Yun picking green beans with curiosity. She had been out for the whole afternoon, and why was she using such high-brow words when she came back?
What is a whole job?
"His wife, how are things at your uncle's side?" Compared to making trouble, Qin Xiang'e was more curious about whether Ye Yun's family affairs had been dealt with.
Ye Yun said casually: "Aunt, you don't have to worry about what's going on over there."
"Oh, okay..."
Qin Xiang'e was too lazy to care about the Ye family. When she heard Ye Yun's words, she stopped talking.
To be honest, she had no feelings towards the Ye family. Her father died because of the old man of the Ye family. As a child, she always felt a little uncomfortable.
Here, Ye Yun picked up the mung beans.
The mung beans were bought by her and Qin Zheng last time they went to town. They weighed three pounds at that time. Some of them were used to make soup during this period, and there were about two pounds left.
Ye Yun took one pound first.
Given the shortage of food materials and ingredients, she could only rely on her memories of her previous life to make the taste as good as possible with the limited ingredients, so she didn't dare to cook too much, in case it wasn't cooked well and the food was wasted.
"His wife, is there anything I can do for you?"
Qin Xiang'e came over and said.
She didn't really want Ye Yun to be busy. In her mind, Ye Yun was in poor health, so she would try her best not to let Ye Yun do anything.
Ye Yun thought for a while and said, "Aunt, please brush the small millstone at home."
"well!"
Qin Zheng's family had a small millstone that had been abandoned for a long time, thrown in the corner of the kitchen shed.
Qin Xiang'e carried the millstone to the well, disassembled it, and scrubbed it clean. Then she wiped off the water on it, let it dry for a while, and then moved it into the kitchen shed and placed it on the chopping board next to Ye Yun.
A round grinding wheel several dozen centimeters in size was placed on the chopping board, instantly occupying a large space.
"This millstone... was used when Zhengzi's father was still alive!" Qin Xiang'e wiped the sweat from her forehead tiredly and said breathlessly.
Ever since the family lost its pillar, no one has used this millstone.
Although the millstone is small, it is made of stone and is very heavy. However, Qin Xiang'e's face was full of smiles. She would be happy as long as Ye Yun could use her.
When Ye Yun saw her like this, she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.
"Auntie, take a rest first. I'll need you later."
“Hey!”
Qin Xiang'e agreed with a smile, ran out to wash her face, and then hurried back to the kitchen shed, fearing that she would miss what Ye Yun was doing.
Ye Yun was controlling the water for mung beans.
The washed mung beans are all wet, so you need to drain the water first, otherwise it will be difficult to grind them into powder when you put them on the grinding wheel later.
Seeing that she was taking the control seriously, Qin Xiang'e poured a glass of water and quietly placed it next to her.
After the water was drained from the mung beans, the millstone was ready. She put the mung beans into the millstone little by little. Qin Xiang'e quickly pulled the millstone, and soon, it turned into fine powder.
Ye Yun lit a fire, put the mung beans into the pot and steamed them over high heat for half an hour.
"His wife, I know this. Are you trying to get rid of the bean smell?" Qin Xiang'e understood Ye Yun's intention and asked with a smile.
Ye Yun also smiled and nodded, "Yes, otherwise it won't taste good."
"You want to make mung bean cakes."
"Make a different mung bean cake." Ye Yun said, and stuffed another handful of firewood into the pot.
Qin Xiang'e watched attentively and of course started discussing it with Ye Yun.
She said she also made mung bean cakes.
Half an hour later, the mung bean cake was steamed. Ye Yun took it out and broke the lumps of mung bean cake into pieces, then put them aside to dry.
Now start heating the oil.
In later generations, in order to make the mung bean cake taste better, butter was generally used, but now she only had lard and peanut oil.
The mung bean powder has been dried, and Ye Yun begins to add seasonings into it.
One pound of mung beans and one ounce of white sugar.
Add appropriate amount of refined salt to sweeten.
After that, pour the previously hot peanut oil on it, press it down, compact it into a block, and steam it in the pot for another 20 minutes, but this time use low heat.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Yun took the steamed mung bean cake out of the pot.
It was already dark by then.
A kerosene lamp was lit in the kitchen shed, reflecting the profiles of Ye Yun and Qin Xiang'e.
After the mung bean cake had cooled, Ye Yun cut it into pieces under the light.
The small pieces of mung bean cake have good color and are particularly eye-catching under the warm light of the kerosene lamp. With a slight break, they can be divided into two even halves, making people salivate.
Ye Yun smiled when she saw the quality.
"Auntie, would you like to try it?" She handed the half she broke off to Qin Xiang'e and smiled softly.
Qin Xiang'e quickly pushed her hand away and said shyly, "How can I eat such a delicate thing? You eat it, or you can give it to the old lady!"
The old lady at the door of the main hall immediately knocked the bamboo stick in her hand after hearing this.
“Hungry…hungry!”
"Oh, Mom, I forgot about this." Qin Xiang'e just remembered that dinner was not ready yet, and quickly picked up a mung bean cake and ran to the old lady, "Mom, fill your stomach first, I'll cook for you soon!"
The old lady snorted, took the mung bean cake and slowly put it into her mouth.
While chewing, he raised his head and stared blankly into the distance, as if he couldn't figure out why he was eating so late today, and also as if he was expecting someone to come back soon.
"Mom, how is it?" Qin Xiang'e saw the old lady eating with relish and smacked her lips as well.
Ye Yun also looked at the old lady eagerly. This was her first time taking action and the old lady's evaluation was very important to her!
The mung bean cake is not big and it is gone in two bites.
After the old lady finished eating, she paused for two seconds, then slowly stretched out her hand to Qin Xiang'e, "Are you...starving? Give me some more!"
