After the glutinous rice is fried, it is put aside in a bowl. The yam in another pot is also steamed and put in a separate soup bowl. I look at the red beans again, as they still need to be steamed for a while.
Crush the yam in the soup bowl into yam puree. In order to make it a little sweet when eating, add two spoons of white sugar.
Bring the yam paste and glutinous rice flour to the living room, roll the yam paste into small balls, and when the red bean paste is ready, wrap it with the small balls rolled with yam paste. When everything is ready, roll it in glutinous rice flour, and then find a mold to make beautiful flower-shaped pastries.
There should be some of these little things in the space. I searched around and found a lot of them. I selected beautiful plum and osmanthus patterns, cleaned them, and put them aside for later use.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the red bean paste.
Just as I was about to check if the red beans were steamed, I heard someone knocking on the gate.
I immediately knew that it must be Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui who came back, so I quickly opened the door.
Everyone was carrying a sack of food, so they were quickly asked to put the food in the empty room on the right.
The house on the left is filled with all kinds of things for weaving vines, as well as various woven baskets. Although the excitement has passed, those things are still there.
It seems that I should find an opportunity to clean up the inside, keep some things that can be used temporarily, and put the rest into the space. Anyway, they don’t take up space.
"Do you need me to help carry the food?"
Looking at the two grown men sweating profusely, I felt that it would be easier if I went to help.
Both of them shook their heads. "No need for you. Just stay at home and look after the kids. Sun Rui and I can just run a few more times. What did you do in the kitchen? I think I smell something."
Su Qingxue smiled with a loving mother's look on her face, "I'm going to make yam, glutinous rice and red bean cakes for the children. Feng Xue is about to give birth, so I thought of keeping these children here so that they won't be scared."
"Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
Zhou Huaian reached down to touch his wife's head, but when he saw how dirty her nails were, he quickly pulled back.
Su Qingxue also saw his actions and burst out laughing, "Okay, I know what you're thinking, go get busy, since you'll be back soon, I won't lock the door."
I went back to the room and checked on the children. They were sleeping soundly and I didn't have to worry about them at all. I looked at the three little brats outside the living room, who were eating grapes.
Fortunately, they washed their hands obediently even without my reminder, so I didn't have to worry about it.
After waiting for about half an hour, the red bean paste was finally ready. During this time, Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui went back and forth several times, moving the food.
Su Qingxue felt that they were very tired, so why couldn't they borrow a cart?
Especially this time they bought a lot more food, which made them even more tired and exhausted.
After the red bean paste was ready, I stewed two pheasants while there was still fire on the stove. After blanching them in water, I added ginger slices. Two pheasants plus half a pot of water were about the same, so the taste of the stew would not be too bland. In order to nourish the body more, I also cut a few slices of ginseng and added them.
He looked at the fire, put a few more pieces of firewood in, and quickly went to the living room with the big bowl of red bean paste.
Stuff the red bean paste into the yam dumpling, surround it, coat the surface with a layer of glutinous rice flour, put it directly into the mold and press it hard, and instantly the yam glutinous rice red bean cake with plum blossom mark will come out.
It looks very beautiful and can be eaten directly.
But it's cold now, so you have to heat it up if you want to eat it.
Make three good ones first and let the children taste them. "Xiao Rui, you guys try it and see if it tastes good. If it tastes good, I'll make more."
In the 1960s when there were not many snacks, the yam, glutinous rice and red bean cake was simply too delicious. After the three children ate it, their eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly. Even though they couldn't speak because of the food in their mouths, they still said it was delicious.
Then he gave them one each, "You can't eat these two. We need to eat later. Can I give you two more in the afternoon?"
"Okay." The three kids agreed in unison.
Let them play on the side while you concentrate on finishing the rest. Take out a beautiful plate and place the finished one on the plate. It looks especially beautiful, like a tower. Put all the two patterns together, and there are enough for two plates.
Su Qingxue tasted one and found that it tasted really good. Because not too much sugar was put in it, it was not too sweet, just the right amount. Suddenly, she regretted that she had made too little.
Put the two plates of pastries in the cupboard temporarily, one plate will be eaten when Zhou Huaian and the others come back, and the other plate will be sent to the cowshed in the evening.
If there is something delicious, always let them taste it together, especially since they are older, they should eat more soft food.
Elderly people generally cannot eat too much glutinous rice. Fortunately, the ones I made myself only have a layer of glutinous rice flour on the surface, which is still acceptable for the elderly.
When I heard the babies crying in the room, I quickly picked them up, changed them, fed them, and after I was done with them, I let them lie on the kang and play by themselves.
Su Qingxue came to the gate of the yard and wanted to see why Zhou Benan and the others had not returned yet?
After so many trips back and forth, you should have brought back all the food, right?
Could it be that I bought too much, so there are still a lot that I haven’t brought back?
After standing at the door and waiting for a while, I saw two people coming back with food from a distance. I quickly walked up to them and took the food from their backs. Holding a sack in one hand, I walked home easily.
The two grown men, Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui, smiled bitterly at each other. They were both exhausted carrying the things on their backs, but they didn't expect Qingxue to be lifted up easily. It turned out that it takes more strength to do something.
"I just made some pastries. Do you want to taste them? See if you like them. If you like them, I'll make more."
I had originally planned to make some more in the afternoon. After all, two plates were not enough for the children. I made some extra and kept them in the space so that I could just give them out when the children wanted snacks.
You can not only make yam, glutinous rice and red bean cakes, but also other things. Look for more information in the space in the evening and make a few more flavors to prevent the children from getting tired of eating just one flavor.
Zhou Huaian was particularly supportive. He thought that what his wife cooked must be delicious. Even if it was not tasty, he would swallow it. He would not let his wife down.
"My wife's cooking must be delicious. I'll go wash my hands first and then try the delicious food my wife made."
