Chapter 23 Rice Krispies Candy

Two letters, one to Gu Jinyao and one to Zhou Qianlin, when Ji Shaobei returns to the village, there will be a good show.

The last time I made a special trip to Kaoshangou, Gu Liuying also asked Zhou Qianlin about it.

Gu Jinyao suddenly regretted going back to the village!
Regardless of whether she really repented or something mysterious happened to her, in short, put the shit pot on her head.

The heroine of this world is myself.

Gu Liuying put her hands in her pockets and was about to go back, when she went down the steps, she suddenly saw Lu Zhen standing below.

"Brother Lu, why are you here?"

Suppressing the panic in her heart, Gu Liuying asked him.

Lu Zhen: "Just going out to do some errands, I saw you passing by. Liu Ying, what are you doing here?"

Gu Liuying: "I'll come over and help someone read the letter."

People in the village don't often go to the town, and it is common for those who go to the town to read each other's letters and help them take them back.

But Lu Zhen saw it upstairs just now, she was posting a letter.

However, he didn't take this little matter to heart, and the two of them had a few words of thoughtfulness before they parted.

……

In Dayang Village, Gu Jinyao is changing his shoes and getting ready to go out.

I said earlier that I would make rice cracker candies for the children, but I was not joking.

If the rice cake candy is ready, she plans to sell it in the town.

Gu Jinyao has already thought about it, she has no capital and can't do any big things now, the only thing she can do is a small business with low investment cost and considerable profits.

Going around the town in the morning, she probably understood the situation.

In terms of food, there are state-owned restaurants in the larger ones, small stalls like Gu Liuying's, selling special snacks, and small noodle stalls, steamed bun stalls that walk around with carts.

Although individuals have only been allowed to go private in the past two years, there are still a lot of smart people, and there are people who are doing business that everyone is familiar with.

Gu Jinyao is alone now, with no helpers, and three children with her. She can't do troublesome and strenuous work, so she can only do something easy.

So she plans to sell the first pot of gold from candy.

This candy is not the white sugar and brown sugar from the supply and marketing cooperative, but the rice cake candy, peanut candy, sesame candy, and oil and fruit she made herself for visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.

Now there are still more than two months before the Chinese New Year, she will start with Rice Krispie Candy first, and after earning money, she will slowly get the rest of the business.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving, you should watch over here at home."

Gu Jinyao is going to the commune to buy oil and big yellow rice.

Gu Ping sat at the gate of the courtyard chatting with people with a pipe in his hand, and said with a smile, "Hurry up."

Gu Jinyao told the children a few words, and left with a basket on her back.

Mengmeng still wants to go with her, but it's a pity that things are heavy and she can't take care of it.

It takes more than half an hour to go to the brigade commune. There is an oil house here. The rapeseed oil squeezed by the commune itself is very fragrant. There is also a non-staple food store that sells tofu, wine, and some of the most basic daily necessities in daily life.

Gu Jinyao bought 5 catties of oil and saw that the tofu was good, so she also bought two yuan.

She bought the big yellow rice from those people in the village when she returned to the village.

This rhubarb rice is different from millet. It is sweet, soft and sticky after being cooked. Usually, everyone uses it to make pastries, snacks and sticky bean buns.

Rhubarb rice is not a staple food, and it is more expensive than millet, at ten cents a catty.

Gu Jinyao wanted to try it out first, so he collected about sixty catties first.

After going back and forth for more than an hour, Gu Jinyao's things were bought.

In the Ji family, Gu Ping was still sitting at the entrance of the courtyard chatting with people, and the three dolls were also having fun with the children in the next courtyard.

Gu Jinyao went home and put the things away, washed the pot and started to wash the rice and steam the rhubarb rice.

For this rice flower, the rice has to be steamed and dried before being fried, and then it is boiled with sugar and fried to shape.

The next few steps require a short time. If there is a stall that can make and sell it now, the most time-consuming thing is steaming and drying the newly opened rice.

At this time today, the steamed rice is no longer dry.

But she was in a hurry to sell, and she counted as much as she could make.

Gu Ping knew that Gu Jinyao was a little hesitant to make rice cracker candies, but seeing his granddaughter's enthusiasm, he couldn't utter words of persuasion, and at night he helped her keep watch over the rice roasting on the stove to avoid stray cats and mice.

The next day, the weather was fine.

Gu Jinyao spread the steamed rhubarb rice with a round dustpan and dried it in the yard. The three dolls acted as little guards, chasing cats and birds away.

It was left to dry on the stove last night, and it was almost dry after half a day in the sun this morning.

After lunch, Gu Jinyao flattened the rice grains with a rolling stick.

After working like this for more than two hours, the rhubarb rice for fried rice is ready.

Gu Jinyao cleaned the pot, poured oil, and couldn't wait to try it.

She knows how to do it, and she has done it in the book.

Before making it, she fried some red beans and prepared to mix them in the rice cracker candy for decoration. Of course, the most important thing is her fairy water, which was put in the oil pan.

This fairy water is really a treasure. With it, the taste of rapeseed oil becomes different in an instant. The taste is rich and overbearing, making people drool.

Red beans and rice crackers are fried, followed by sugar.

The sugar she uses is white sugar mixed with malt grains, which can increase the viscosity.

After the saccharification is complete, pour in the fried rice crackers and red beans, mix well, and then shovel them into the cleaned enamel basin and press to shape.

While doing it, Gu Jinyao recorded the steps and dosage in a small notebook. If it is not good enough, I will adjust it next time.

She just tried her hands today, and she hasn't made the mold yet, so she will do it casually, and if she succeeds, she will ask Grandpa to make two molds for her. It will be simple and convenient in the future.

While doing this, the three children who were playing outside came back, even Gu Ping put down his gossip and stretched his neck to look towards the kitchen.

what smell?
Why is it so fragrant!
"Auntie, are you making rice cracker candies?"

Mengmeng was so greedy that she was drooling, she smelled it just outside, it was delicious.

Gu Jinyao said with a smile: "Yes, it will be ready for you later."

It's really rice cracker candy. Niu Niu licked his lips and really wanted to taste it now.

Ji Xiaoan stretched his neck and took a look into the basin, it was true, but he didn't know if it was good or not, so don't waste the food.

The weather in late autumn is cold, and the rice cake candy will be finalized in a short while.

Taking advantage of the remaining warmth, Gu Jinyao lightly put it on the cutting board and cut it into small rectangular pieces.

She tasted a small piece first, it was crispy, light and crunchy, and melted in the mouth.

The aroma of rapeseed oil, the crispiness of rhubarb rice, and the pleasant sweetness, the three aromas fill the mouth, and a simple bite of rice cracker candy gives you the ultimate enjoyment.

good to eat!

Overwhelms the taste of all snacks in memory.

Gu Jinyao immediately took a few yuan and was about to distribute it to the children, but when she turned her head, she found that the door of the kitchen was full of people.

The old lady and the pregnant daughter-in-law who were chatting at the gate of the courtyard also came in, and a few children from the neighbors all looked at her eagerly.
