I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 12 Pea Yellow

"Ning Lao San, you have money but you didn't agree! Why did your mother plant the fields for Ning Lao Er?"

Old man Zhao became a little impatient, stepped forward and questioned angrily.

Third Ning couldn't beat his own mother, and he couldn't beat old man Zhao.

After he glanced up and down at old man Zhao, he rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"Whether the fourth child agrees or not, those are our mother's own sons, our own younger brothers. The most important thing is that although the Ning family has indeed separated, my mother has the final say on any important matters. Therefore, he It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, the important thing is that the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders!"

Old man Zhao covered his heart angrily, and pointed at Old Ning, who was speechless angrily.

Hearing what Ning Lao San said, and seeing his future father-in-law so angry that he was about to die, Ning Youcai was suddenly a little unhappy.

"Third brother, I don't like to hear what you say, what's wrong? Is it possible that after the separation, I can't even manage my own fields?"

"Don't yell at me. If you are capable, go home and yell at your mother. Also, you have to remember that you are marrying a daughter-in-law now, not marrying like a father."

After finishing speaking, Ning Laosan took a meaningful look at Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Ma who had changed expressions, then turned around and left.

Ning Lao San didn't like the old man of the Zhao family's calculations against the fourth son at all.

Even if it is for his family's face, it will be the fourth child who will be unlucky at that time, and it has nothing to do with him.

Ning Youcai was also blocked by what Ning Laosan said, unable to say a word to refute.

Seeing that Ning Lao San turned around and left so quickly, Ning Youcai suddenly became anxious.

He said something to Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Ma, and then hurriedly ran towards the house. Even Zhao Juan, his fiancée, was forgotten by him!

"Let me just say, this fourth Ning is worthless. What good will Juanzi do if he marries him in the future?"

Old man Zhao coughed angrily, pointed in the direction where Ning Youcai was gone, and complained angrily to his wife.

However, Mrs. Ma thought differently from what old man Zhao thought. If Mrs. Ning could really straighten her youngest son this time, it would be a good thing for her daughter.

In fact, the reason why Ning Youcai is so lazy is that Mrs. Ning beat her little wife and doted on her little son too much.

Anyway, the sky is falling, and his three older brothers and his mother are supporting him, so naturally he doesn't have to work hard.

When Ning Youcai hurried home, he saw that Boss Ning had brought Liu Shi back to town.

Second Ning went to the field again. After all, he is the one with the most land in the family now, so he has to take good care of the land!
Ning Laosan was reluctant to dig out the grain, so naturally he had no choice but to go to the field with Ning Laosan.

Now in the family, only the second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law are left, as well as my mother and younger sister.

"Mother, why did you plant my land for my second brother?"

Ning Youcai saw that Mrs. Ning was arranging something, a stack of long wooden boxes, which looked quite new.

What Ning Pengpeng was playing with was the mold sent by Wang Dashan.

Unexpectedly, the other party's craftsmanship is quite good, although the words engraved inside are very clear, although they are square.

Although Wang Dashan sent only six molds, it was enough for the beans she soaked today.

"Why, if you don't plant it for your second brother, is it possible that you know how to plant it?"

After checking that there was nothing wrong with the mold, Ning Pengpeng turned to his youngest son without raising his head.

Ning Youcai choked, he naturally didn't want to go to the field, but, isn't his future husband and family can help!
Of course, in his mind, the most important thing is that his future father-in-law will help him cultivate the land, so he doesn't need to pay for food.

It's just that it's easy to say, so Ning Youcai stood beside Ning Pengpeng for a long time without saying anything.

Ning Pengpeng didn't have the time to talk to him, so he removed the top layer of skin from the soaked peas, poured only the pea meat and water into the pot, and then heated it to a boil.

Cook until the water is about to absorb the juice, and the peas are already soft and rotten. Take the opportunity to quickly pick up the boiled peas and put them in the basin.

Then add brown sugar water, beat it into mud with a rolling pin, then pour the pea puree into the pot again, stir fry continuously over low heat, and only fry the pea puree until it is thick, and then it can be filled into the oiled dish. mold.

After compacting the pea puree in the mold with a wooden shovel, scrape off the excess pea puree on the side, then put the mold filled with pea puree in a basket and hang it down the well.

After the pea puree is formed and poured out of the mold, it becomes the famous sweet snack of pea yellow.

In fact, white sugar should have been added to this pea yellow.

But in Mrs. Ning's memory, she has never heard of white sugar, even this brown sugar is a rare and good thing at the moment.

Usually, when a family gives birth to a child, gets sick, or gives gifts during the Chinese New Year, they will basically give this brown sugar.

The brown sugar that Ning Pengpeng put in the pea puree just now is the brown sugar water after she found the finest sieve in the house and sifted it carefully, and then passed a layer of gauze.

It's just because the current brown sugar is not only rough, but also has impurities in it, which really makes Ning Pengpeng a little unacceptable.

Also, it is hot now, and there is no ice, so the pea puree needs to be put in the bottom of the well if it wants to take shape for a while.

Fortunately, this ancient deep-water well is warm in winter and cool in summer, and now the water in the well below is very cool, not much higher than the temperature in a modern refrigerator.

Then put the soaked red beans into the pot and boil until soft, then remove the outer layer of skin, continue to cook, stir slowly until the sand comes out, and then pour in the remaining brown sugar Continue to stir the water until it becomes sticky. After the spatula is picked up and tilted, it falls down into a line, and it is put aside.

When Ning Youcai was doing these things in Ning Pengpeng, he followed him everywhere.

In the end, Ning Pengpeng got impatient and threw two catties of glutinous rice, and asked him to grind the glutinous rice into powder with a hand-rolled mill at home, so as not to dangle the glutinous rice into her eyes.

So, when Ning Pengpeng cooked the red bean stuffing, Ning Youcai had already ground the glutinous rice into wet powder.

Ning Pengpeng stepped forward and twisted, very satisfied with the fineness of the mill.

However, I sifted it again carefully with a fine sieve, and let Ning Youcai continue to grind those big ones that were not crushed.

She put the sieved rice noodles in a basin, took out the pea yellow that was placed in the well water before, turned the mold over and knocked it lightly, and there were square peas with the words "Fu Lu Shou" on them. Huang came out.

This pea yellow is neither sticky nor crispy. Because the skin has been removed, it feels like it is about to melt in the mouth.

Coupled with the addition of sugar, it is as delicate as silk and sweet as honey, and combined with the fragrance of peas, it makes people have endless aftertaste.

Ning Pengpeng tasted a piece carefully, and nodded reluctantly. This is the first time I made it, it is still qualified!
