Chapter 329 Walnut Black Sesame Powder
"Bang, bang, bang!" Xiaotao, Atang, Niu Xiaobao and a group of children were busy cracking walnuts.
"Ouch!" Niu Xiaobao's hand was hit.
Use a stone to hit the walnuts. The wild walnuts are small and hard. If you hit them too lightly, they won't break. If you hit them too hard, they will flatten and hit your hand.
When the children came back, they saw the bucket of dried walnuts. With nothing better to do, they cracked them open to see how many were left to eat.
After a lot of banging, bang, bang, bang, I finally got a bowl of chopped walnuts.
Some were completely shriveled, some were oily, and some were smashed together with the shells and turned into walnut paste.
"Let me see!" Xiaotao pulled Niu Xiaobao's hand over to see that his fingers were red, but the skin was not broken.
"Forget it, you take a rest, we'll do it!" Xiao Tao sighed. These walnuts are really hard to get.
"What's wrong?" Su Ying came over after receiving her wages and saw her sister sighing.
"Sister, it's so difficult to eat walnuts! Look at our hands!" Xiaotao showed her hands to her sister with a wronged look.
"Oh, our Xiaotao has worked so hard!" Su Ying held her sister's hand, "Sister, blow on it!"
Xiaotao's hands are soft, and her round fingers are like little beans, so cute.
"Does it still hurt?" After blowing for a while, Su Ying asked her sister gently.
"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Xiaotao smiled with her eyes curved.
"Sister!" Atang felt jealous and stretched out her little hand to ask for a touch.
"Okay, blow on Atang too!" Su Ying was amused. Atang could turn the walnut into a walnut cake with just a light pinch.
He pretended to blow on it and then patted it, "Does it still hurt?"
Atang shook his head and withdrew his hand contentedly.
"Hey, Atang, why are your hands different from ours?" Niu Xiaobao noticed Atang's hands.
The fingers are thin and long, and the nails are narrow, sharp and hooked, like primate claws, which makes it easy to climb in the jungle.
I usually trim his nails, but not thoroughly, because Atang goes to the mountains to play from time to time, and it is inconvenient for him to move around without nails.
Atang glanced at Niu Xiaobao, said nothing, and withdrew his hand to continue working.
"Hey, Atang, are you sick?" Niu Xiaobao came over and asked with concern.
"You are sick! Your whole family is sick!" Atang pushed Niu Xiaobao away and said angrily.
"Ouch!" Niu Xiaobao was pushed a few steps away and squatted on the ground. "Why are you so angry?"
"What do you care!" Atang was very unhappy.
"Atang! Don't be rude!" Xiaotao criticized Atang and helped Niu Xiaobao up.
"Hmph! I'm ignoring you!" Niu Xiaobao said angrily. He was well-intentioned and concerned, but Atang got angry for no reason.
"I don't want it!" Atang turned his head to the side and pouted.
My hands are so powerful, but Niu Xiaobao actually said he was sick! So angry!
"Hmph!" Niu Xiaobao turned his head to the other side. He ignored her and ignored her kindness.
"Atang!" Su Ying laughed and embraced Atang, "Are you unhappy?"
Atang said nothing and lowered his eyes.
"Atang is the best!" Su Ying hugged Atang affectionately and rubbed him.
Atang's stiff body softened, he hugged Su Ying's neck, rubbed it, and said sullenly, "Sister!"
After living with the Su family for some time, I gradually understood that everyone has parents, brothers and sisters, and I am different from Huahua, Xiaohei, and the three siblings of the Bai family.
How did I end up in the wolf den? Where are my parents?
Children without parents always want to know who their parents are? Where are they? Why did they abandon themselves?
Atang didn't ask, but he would often sit alone, staring into the distance in a daze.
It is so small and looks lonely from behind.
Even though she is a strong woman and a natural beast tamer, she is still just a child of five or six years old, longing for the love of her parents and wanting to find out her own life experience!
"Atang, Xiaobao has no ill intentions, he just cares about you!" Su Ying said softly.
Atang didn't say anything, she didn't need it.
This kind of concern tore apart everything she didn't want to face. She was still young and didn't understand, so she instinctively resisted to protect her fragile self-esteem.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Do you want to eat walnuts?" Su Ying asked while hugging Atang.
"Yeah!" Atang nodded. The food made by her sister was delicious and she liked it the most.
"Look, only these few walnuts can be cracked out of a bucket of walnuts, um..." Su Ying looked at these few walnuts, what should she do?
Yes, walnut powder, it is fragrant and sweet, just like sesame paste, a favorite of the elderly and children.
"Sister will make walnut powder for you to eat! Okay?" Su Ying coaxed Atang patiently.
"Yeah!" Atang smiled.
Before it got completely dark, Su Ying used sand to fry walnuts, glutinous rice, soybeans, mung beans, and sesame seeds. Now that she had all the ingredients, she decided to make walnut and black sesame powder.
The three sisters-in-law found it funny, and only Aying had the patience to coax the child.
A group of children gathered around the stove, watching Su Ying busy herself.
After it cooled down, I took it to the village mill to grind it into flour without even having time to eat.
The mill was brightly lit with torches, and the children were laughing and scrambling to play at the millstone.
This made Yang Dalang, Yang Erlang and a group of men couldn't help but come out to see what was going on in the mill in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.
"Aying, what are you doing?" Yang Dalang asked.
"To make food, use walnut and black sesame powder!" Su Ying added the millstone, and the children lined up to push the millstone.
"You're not sleeping in the middle of the night, just to eat?" Yang Dalang was speechless. The older kids were fooling around with the younger kids. What a bunch of greedy cats!
"Uncle Yang, you guys go back, we'll be there in a while!" Su Ying smiled.
In the small mountain village, people work from sunrise to sunset. It's so boring and it's rare for them to get busy.
Grind everything into powder and put it into a clay bowl, filling it up.
After packing up, the children happily returned to Su's house.
I was already hungry, but I endured it all in order to eat the delicious food.
Su Ying mixed all the powders evenly, then gave each person half a small bowl, added brown sugar, and poured in boiling water.
A strong aroma wafted through the house, including the scent of walnuts, sesame seeds, soybeans, mung beans, and the sweet taste of brown sugar.
"Don't be in a hurry. Mix it well and let it cool down a little before eating. Be careful not to get burned." Su Ying stirred the food for the children.
Yang Chunhua, who was resting in the house, smelled the fragrance and suddenly felt very hungry.
After holding it in for a while, she couldn't hold it in any longer and came out with her five-month-old belly. "It smells so good!"
"Second Aunt is here, this is yours! Try it and see how it tastes." Su Ying handed over a bowl of warm food.
"You guys eat!" Yang Chunhua pretended to refuse, feeling very hungry.
"Eat it, I mixed it for you and was just about to send it to you!" Su Ying said with a smile.
"Then I won't be polite!" Yang Chunhua took it, scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
It is smooth and mellow, with a strong aroma and a fine granular texture. It is ground by stone and cannot be compared with the fineness of modern mechanical grinding.
But this fine granular texture dilutes the greasiness of walnuts and sesame seeds, and soybeans, mung beans, and glutinous rice flour are blended into a soup-like texture.
These are high energy and very filling!
"Aying, you really know how to enjoy life! I didn't expect that walnuts and sesame seeds mixed together would be so fragrant!" Yang Chunhua fell in love with it at once.
"Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?" Old Mrs. Su was woken up by her greed and came to the kitchen cursing.
"Grandma, come and try it!" Su Ying brought over a bowl.
The old lady glared at Su Ying, swallowed the curse she wanted to say, sat down next to her second daughter-in-law, and savored the thought carefully.
When people get old, their mouths have no taste, their appetite is poor, and they are often hungry at night.
I was amazed when I took a bite of this paste. This thing is good! Love it!
"Well, it tastes good!" The old lady gave a rare compliment.
