Chapter 213 Soybean Powder
Soon, rice cakes of different shapes were placed on the two bamboo sieves. Xuyuan had finished with the rice balls in his hands, so he washed his hands and asked them to continue. He walked to the table by the window and shook the soybeans in the basket. The water had been drained almost dry.
The cold wind from outside poured in through the open window, and Xu Yuan then realized that it was a bit chilly. He was wearing thin clothes, but the fire in the kitchen was burning, so he didn't feel cold at all.
Xu Yuan came out of the kitchen and found that the coat that Gu Qinghan had just taken off was still on the stool outside. The wooden hammer and stick had been placed in the stone mortar, which had been soaked in water.
He entered the house, put on the coat he had just taken off, closed the door, and took Gu Qinghan's coat in.
"Gu Qinghan, I put your coat here. Remember to put it on when you are done with these." Xu Yuan put it on a stool not far from Gu Qinghan, and then walked to the stove.
"Thank you."
Gu Qinghan nodded and quickly kneaded the rice ball in his hand, while Xu Zhi was already cutting it into pieces with a piece of wood.
Wash the pot that you just used to steam rice, light a fire to dry the water in the pot, pour the drained soybeans into the pot, and stir-fry. The fire on the stove should not be too big, let the soybeans fry slowly, and turn them over from time to time to allow the beans to be evenly heated.
A quarter of an hour later, the soybeans cracked open and the fragrance of the beans began to spread.
"Big sister, it smells so good!" Many people were attracted by the aroma and ran directly to Xu Yuan's side, tiptoeing to peek into the pot, but some couldn't see clearly, so they simply moved a small stool and stood on it, "It turns out to be soybeans."
"Sister, can I have a taste?"
"It's still hot now, try it later when it's not hot anymore."
Xuyuan shoveled the beans into a wooden basin and let them cool. Then he opened the can of maltose in the cupboard and took out a piece of maltose. He cut it into small pieces on the chopping board, put it in a bowl, and mashed it into a fine powder.
The sound of "dong dong dong" began to be heard in the kitchen.
The rice balls on the table had been kneaded by Guozi and Gu Qinghan. Xu Xuan saw that her elder sister was mashing things and she couldn't help much. She grabbed a handful of beans that were not very hot and put one into her mouth to chew. It was crunchy. Xu Xuan took a few and put them to Xu Yuan's mouth, "Sister, they are so crispy. You eat them."
Xuyuan opened his mouth and ate a lot of beans that were fed to him. After chewing them, his mouth felt a little dry.
"Xiaoduo, you eat too much at one time." He turned around and poured himself a bowl of hot water, and then he remembered Gu Qinghan and others who came to help.
He picked up two clean bowls, poured hot water for them, and placed them in front of them. "Hey, I was so busy just now that I forgot to take you away. I'll put the hot water here. Remember to drink it when you're thirsty."
"Thank you."
"Thank you, Sister Xuyuan. Hehe, you didn't neglect us. Xiaoduo just poured it for us."
"I got it, big sister." After being reminded, Xuanyu returned to Gu Qingming's side and grabbed a few with her little hands and put them into Gu Qingming's mouth.
Gu Qingming started eating happily.
"Second sister, do you want to eat?"
Xu Zhi shook his head, "You eat it."
"I want to eat it. Xiaoduo, let me try a few." Guozi opened his mouth and waited for food to be fed to him.
"coming."
I also took a bite of the fruit, and the beans were crunchy when I bit them.
"Brother Gu, do you want to eat?"
"No need, you guys eat." Gu Qinghan shook his head, picked up the bowl of water on the table and took a sip.
The fried beans were almost cool, and Xu Yuan took a rolling pin and began to crush the soybeans in the wooden basin into powder. The beans were very crisp and were quickly crushed by Xu Yuan, who poured in the crushed maltose and stirred them evenly.
The soybean powder is done.
The freshly cut rice cake is soft and sticky, and it is so fragrant when dipped in soybean powder.
"It turns out that soybeans can be used like this. Rice cakes dipped in soybean powder are delicious." Gu Qingming picked up a small piece of rice cake, pulled it apart, and dipped it in soybean powder.
After working for a long time, everyone finally finished making the rice balls on the table. Now everyone sat down and enjoyed the delicious food.
After getting tired of eating rice cakes dipped in soybean powder, many people started to string together slices of rice cakes and roast them over the fire.
The fire was very big, and both sides of the rice cake were soon roasted until they were golden brown.
"Sister, it's ready, please try it!" After many of them were baked, they were directly handed to Xu Yuan.
"Xiaoduo, get some sauce for washing." Xu Yuan gave the sauce on the table to Duoyi.
"Oh." Manyu took a brush, dotted some sauce in the bowl, and spread it evenly on the noodles.
The white and tender rice cake is coated with a layer of bright red sauce and then roasted over the fire, and the fragrance spreads out immediately.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but praise him: "Xiao Duo, your skills in applying the sauce and baking the rice cakes are good enough to open a stall."
"Hahaha, you taught me well, big sister."
Many people laughed and handed the baked rice cakes to Xuyuan.
"Big sister, try it!"
Xu Yuan took it, broke off a piece with chopsticks, and handed the rest to Dou Yi. "I can't eat any more, just this one piece, you can eat the rest."
Many of them took it, blew it around their lips, and broke off some to share with the remaining few people.
Gu Qinghan took a small piece and tasted it. It was indeed delicious, and the chili sauce was addictive, unlike the rice cakes dipped in soybean powder, which would choke the throat and be a bit greasy if too much soybean powder was applied.
Xuyuan stood up, marked the plates of dumplings from which family, poured all the dumplings onto a clean bamboo sieve, and began to place rice cakes covered with soybean powder on each family's plate.
"Gu Qinghan, this plate belongs to your family. You can pack the rice cakes and take them back." Xu Yuan placed a plate in front of Gu Qinghan.
"it is good."
"Brother, get some rice cakes that are not covered with soybean powder. We can take some back to bake."
Gu Qingming helped to dip the rice cakes in soybean powder and put them on the plates. After a while, the plates of each family were filled and placed in the basket, and the lid of the basket was closed.
The sky was getting darker, and the snowflakes that were just floating sporadically had begun to grow larger.
"Sister, it's snowing heavily outside!" Xu Zhi stood at the corridor and stretched out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes.
Thinking of the stone mortar in the yard, Xu Yuan fetched a bucket of hot water, took a clean broom, and went out. Gu Qinghan followed Xu Yuan closely, but as soon as he reached the door, he felt the chill, went into the house, and put on the coat that Xu Yuan had just put down.
Pour out the water in the mortar, quickly pour in half of the hot water, scrub the mortar, wooden hammer and wooden stick clean, pour out the water, and scrub them again.
Just as he was about to hand the wooden hammer and stick to Xu Zhi and carry the mortar into the kitchen, a big hand reached out to him, "Let me help you."
Gu Qinghan picked up the mortar easily and walked beside Xu Yuan.
"Where to put it?"
"follow me."
After everything was put back in place, Gu Qinghan took Gu Qingming away, carrying two more baskets with him.
