Chapter 55 Sticky Bean Bun

After breakfast the next day, Mrs. Qin brought twenty eggs and came to apologize to Cheng Xue.

Say "I'm sorry" bluntly, then put down the basket, turn around and leave.

Cheng Xue didn't make things difficult for her, after all, she was the one who took the blame.And I don't have time to take care of it, so I have to make fifty catties of bean buns before the third day of the winter month.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, so life cannot be wasted.

Prepare to stick to the noodles, set aside a large plate, and cook the bean paste stuffing...

It only took two days to complete all the preparations, and then Cheng Xue went out to find helpers.

The four of their mothers alone can't finish the package, so foreign aid must be invited.

Xu Geng, Dong Xu, Guo Yang, Li Fang.

The first three walk around on weekdays.As for the Li Fang family, she is Li Qingshan's daughter-in-law, and Li Qingshan is one of the few people in the clan who did not take anything from the original owner and his wife.

Since that day when the Guo family went to Liang, Li Qingshan and Li Hui had been in close contact, and their wives also had contacts.

Farmers always make sticky bean buns in winter. You help my family do it, and I make it for you. Just take care of the lunch at noon.

In the past, the original owner hired them with money, but Cheng Xue didn't do that this year.Mix it up, come and go frequently, no one can live in a house with the roof and the door open, and the kitchen pit digs the well.

After breakfast this day, four people came over.Looking at the two big pots of sticky noodles and the bean paste stuffing that had been kneaded into balls, they all washed their hands and got ready to work.

"Siblings are pretty quick, let's wrap it up."

As soon as Yang's words fell, Xu curled her lips and said:
"It's not good to be so capable! My mother always compares me with her. She always says, 'You can't understand something if you learn from a tough girl?'."

Xu imitated her mother's tone of thought very much, and Fang couldn't help laughing immediately.

Geng looked at her daughter's useless play, and shook her head helplessly.

"You, just rely on growing up with Cheng Zi, and see who can tolerate you with someone else."

It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she is.I think she was the one who disagreed with the two of them the most at the beginning, but now she is the one who praises Dong Cheng.

Cheng Xue smiled and arranged the square plate, and asked Li Heng and Li Tian to be in charge of arranging the bean buns, while Yan Yixin and Li Yue made the buns together.

"At noon, let's have sauerkraut stewed noodles. They are all ready, and we will make them when we are hungry."

The meal at noon is very particular, neither too much, nor too much time wasting.So braised noodles are the best.

All four of them had no objections and began to work swiftly.

Talking and chatting, a large square plate was wrapped in the blink of an eye, Yan Yixin put down the work in hand, and moved it out to freeze.

Geng looked at it and nodded, saying:
"Huizi's family really knows how to raise children. Look at this brother Xin, he is really diligent. By the way, let me tell you something, it's quite scary..."

The thing is indeed quite frightening. After conscription, many villages were stolen and robbed.

"...Fortunately, no lives were caused, and some money was lost. Some of them went to report to the officials, but the town said to report, and there has been no movement until now."

"Oh, how can you take advantage of others' danger?" Yang was a little apprehensive.

Only her 14-year-old brother and father are left in her natal family. The nephews are also young, so I am really worried!
Cheng Xue saw her worry and said softly:
"Sister-in-law, go back to your natal home to report the letter. If it is true, Uncle Yang can also prepare in advance. Qingshan brothers and sisters, too, go back to your natal home and tell me."

"But this bean bun..."

"It's okay, it's okay, we can finish the package, now it's important to report the letter. Sister-in-law asks Nianzi to accompany you. What are you doing here, brother and sister?"

"I'm going to look for Qingshan on the mountain, so I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

After Fang finished speaking, she put down the bean bag wrapped in her hand, quickly untied her apron, and walked with Yang.

Xu looked at the old mother, mourning and breaking down:

"Mom, why don't you say it! You've been away for a while, you really... Sigh!"

"What's the matter, isn't that business! Eyes are lazy and hands are good, hurry up, greedy black can finish it."

Geng said so, but his heart was bleeding non-stop.I wouldn't have mentioned this if I knew it earlier, this is the first time I'm worrying about my mouth.

This day is destined to be busy, except for the braised noodles with sauerkraut at noon, everyone is sitting at the table and busy.

At the second quarter of Shen Shi, there was less than half a pot left, Cheng Xue didn't need them anymore, she couldn't tire them out, and they all had to go home to cook.

The [-] prepared eggs were divided equally between mother and daughter.

Of course, they all refused.

"Okay, auntie, sister-in-law, don't be polite to me. After a busy day, why don't you give me a few eggs? It's also my fault, just find a few more people."

"It's a good thing you didn't search too much, otherwise we would be the ones who did the work in the end." Mrs. Xu curled her lips and refused.

She has done it out of the shadows, and she has to tell her father about everything she says later, and don't let mother lie around, it will delay things!

Geng, who knew he was wrong, didn't dare to refute, thanked him, took the eggs, and went home directly.

Known daughter Mo Ruomu quickly closed the courtyard door and blocked her daughter from the door.

Mrs. Xu could only hum angrily, waved Cheng Xue, and left.

She was quite envious of the appearance of the mother and daughter.I hope that in a few years, she, Li Yue, and Li Tian... Forget it, she doesn't want to be a fast talker Xu Gengshi.

Entering the room and seeing a few children still packing, Cheng Xue was relieved and even more moved.

"Tangtang, I'm going to cook with your brother Yixin and bring my younger brother and younger sister. Mother is going to stew the big rooster that was killed the day before yesterday. Let's have a good dinner tonight."

Li Heng was the first to cheer, and Li Tian also nodded.Li Yue was about to speak after hearing this, but Cheng Xue shook her head at her, signaling that there is no need to worry.

The two big cocks that were slaughtered were originally intended to be given to Pan Yongzhang.It's too simple to send only bean buns, so I have to give some meat.There are six roosters in the house, so it doesn't hurt to kill two, and it's okay to kill another one.

Take the cock back from the tank, put it next to the stove, and soak it in cold water, so that it will melt quickly.

The staple food is rice, and the food at home is not sold, which is enough to last until next year's autumn harvest.

Adding firewood to the stove, Cheng Xue began to "Duang...Duang...Duang..." chopping the cock.The ones raised at home are not only big, but also have a lot of meat.

In order to let the children have a good meal, she did not remove the live meat (referring to chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken necks, etc.), but chopped the whole one, and directly braised it in brown sauce without putting any side dishes.

Blanch the chicken, cook it in sugar, stir-fry the chicken, pour soy sauce...

In an instant, the room was full of fragrance, and all the children in the room smelled it greedily.

Li Yue looked at her younger sister whose eyelids were battling, put down what she was doing, and carried her onto the kang.

"I'm not sleepy, I have to work."

Li Yue didn't listen to her, took off the jacket and trousers forcefully, stuffed them into the bed, and said:

"Be obedient, go to bed quickly, you can eat chicken when you wake up. Mother's stew is very delicious, you can see that the four eggs are still awake."

Li Tian swallowed, and closed his eyes cooperatively.

She was really sleepy, and in less than 2 minutes, the sound of steady breathing came.

Yan Yixin looked at their sisters and said softly:

"Tangtang also take a break, and do it later."

"Brother Yixin, hurry up and finish it off. I hate the debt." After Li Yue finished speaking, her palms were wet and she continued to make beanbags...
