pastoral little wife

Chapter 98 Soup Dumplings (2)
Gan's complexion was even uglier, with a sense of embarrassment that his grandson's bad morals were exposed to others.

Yun Duo stopped meddling and continued to walk up the mountain.

Nie Lan thought about it for a while, and followed her generously.Anyway, Yun Duo taught me how to make fish, and she will learn it sooner or later.

A group of four soon arrived in the forest.And Nie Silang followed from a distance.

Yun Duo first found those dyed red fruits and pointed them out to Gan, and then found the key little black fruit, and made a red potion to remove the fishy smell from the puddles on the mountain.

Gan's learned it, and carefully memorized the two small fruits, red and black, and she was very happy. At least she didn't have to wait for Yun Duo to get the potion every time she cooked fish, and she could go up the mountain to pick it herself. Simple.

Nie Lan picked two of them and prepared to put them away, but when she took them off, they broke when she touched them, and they were full of juice.I can only look at the appearance of the two small fruits and keep them in my heart.

After the potion was prepared, Nie Dalang asked Gan and Nie Lan to go down the mountain, and he took Yun Duo to pick hawthorn and sour dates.

Nie Silang was far away, and seeing Gan and Nie Lan return, he hid. After a while, Nie Dalang and Yun Duo disappeared. There was nothing to gain, and he scolded Nie Lan angrily, "shameless long tongue Mouth, you won’t be able to marry in the future.”

Nie Dalang remembered the location of the wild jujube trees and hawthorn trees he encountered, so he took Yunduo directly there. After picking more than half of the bamboo baskets of hawthorns and a lot of wild jujubes, he carried them down the mountain and returned to the hut.

Yun Duo took out the copper pot she had bought, and she used a copper pot to make jujube cake. She didn't see any copper pots for sale, so she bought a copper pot, which was just the right size to sit on a small stove.

Wash the wild jujube, put it in boiling water and boil it for a while, the skin of the wild jujube will burst, take it out, and start peeling the skin of the wild jujube.

"Do you want to peel off the seeds?" Nie Dalang also washed his hands and squatted beside the copper basin.

"No need, stir it vigorously later, and the seeds will separate out by themselves." Yun Duo shook his head, and quickly peeled the jujube peel with both hands.

The peeled jujubes were placed in a copper basin. Yunduo took out chopsticks made of two thin bamboos that had just been cut on the mountain, and beat the jujubes vigorously in the copper basin, stirring vigorously.

Nie Dalang saw it, and took over the bamboo chopsticks to take over her job.

From time to time, the seeds of the wild jujubes separated out by themselves, and the wild jujubes in the copper basin became mushy.

Yun Duo took the rest of the sugar and put it in, stirred it well, and concentrated it for a while.

At this time, the sour jujube cake is almost ready, cut into cubes, put them in bamboo baskets, and take them outside to dry.Crystal clear maroon, square blocks, shining in the sun, with a faint sweet fragrance of jujube, it is pleasing and appetizing to look at.

"Taste it first, it will taste better after drying." Yun Duo took a piece and handed it to Nie Dalang.

Nie Dalang took a bite, and his mouth was filled with the fruity aroma of jujube. The fruity sour taste became sweet and sour with the addition of sugar. "It's delicious." He motioned for her to eat it too.

Yun Duo tasted a piece, and was not satisfied. The jujube cake would be better made with sucrose or honey, but she didn't see any selling honey.The honey at this time should be mostly wild honey, which is still difficult to obtain.

After drying for a while, Yun Duo wrapped a few pieces in oiled paper, and some hawthorn slices, and made two copies, one for Li Zheng's family and one for Fan Ju's family.

Wang Zhong came over, "The Han family sent a letter again, asking you to go over there tomorrow to cook fish and crabs."

Yun Duo greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Wang! You came just in time, we just made jujube cake, come and try it."

"Sour jujube cake? Made with wild jujube?" Wang Zhong grinned, his mouth was already sour. He didn't like sour food very much.The sour jujube can't be eaten.

Nie Dalang took the chopsticks and asked him to taste them.

Wang Zhong was not easy to refuse, the sour date cake was crystal clear and glowed a beautiful maroon color, and it was pleasing to look at, so he took a piece, didn't dare to take a big bite, but took a small bite.After eating it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he took another bite, "This is made of jujube!? It's really delicious!"

Yun Duo told him to eat as much as he wanted.

Although the jujube cake was delicious, Wang Zhong was afraid of losing his teeth, so he put down his chopsticks after eating two pieces.Hearing that the two of them were about to send Lizheng and Fan's family to the compound, he accompanied them.

After locking the door, the three of them went to Lizheng's house together.

Nie Li was not at home, only Mrs. Nie was making padded jackets for her grandson, and Nie Shen was playing with some stones.

Seeing that Yun Duo and Nie Dalang brought something again, Granny Nie insisted on not wanting it. Yun Duo told the child not to eat too much, so she delivered the food and went to the Fan family compound.

Master Fan is also very fond of hawthorn slices and jujube cake, especially the jujube cake. He ate three pieces at the moment. It was Wang Zhong who reminded him not to eat too much, so he put down the chopsticks.Yun Duo and Nie Dalang knew their kindness, and he was willing to support them, so he told them that tomorrow they would bring some sour jujube cakes and hawthorn slices to the Han Mansion, first to win over people, and second, to have a good relationship with the Han Mansion, and to be a backer in the future.

Yun Duo thanked him, went out with Nie Dalang, and went home.

There was still a basket of hawthorn slices, but there were not a few pieces of jujube cake, and there was not much sugar, and I didn't make too much.It was too late, and it was not good to go to the town to buy sugar.

Nie Shen jumped over, "Sister Yunduo! Big brother! Grandma asked me to send you two eggs and some vegetables."

Two eggs and three cabbages are just enough for two people to eat at night.

Yun Duo took it over, "Thank you, Xiaoshen, for coming to deliver the food." He also gave him a few slices of hawthorn.

Nie Shen asked, "Are you guys going to the county again to cook fish tomorrow?"

"Yes! Have you ever been to the county seat?" Yun Duo moved a tree stump for him to sit on.

Nie Shen shook his head, his face was a little sad.

Yun Duo thought that he followed his grandparents when he was young, and his parents were doing work outside. He must miss them, so he patted his head and said, "When sister comes back, I will cook something delicious for you!"

Nie Shen was immediately attracted, "What kind of delicious food?"

"I promise you haven't eaten it. It's called candied haws!" Yun Duo said before, but Nie Lan and Nie Silang didn't know that even hawthorns are not edible here, so there must be no candied haws.

"Candied haws? Gourds made of candy? I want to eat them!" Nie Shen immediately developed his imagination, because he had a small gourd toy at home, and he liked it very much. If it turned into candy, he would immediately want to see it.
