Chapter 141: Sugar Cake
This time, Gao Yulian went in for a long time before she came out, and in the winter, she was covered in a hot sweat, and her sideburns were soaked.
"I only bought a few biscuits, the rest was gone. Gao Yulian handed the things in her hand to Qiao's father and complained: "I don't know what happened to the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative, only one salesman was left to sell things in front, and everyone else went to the warehouse. ”
A few women who were squeezed out behind Gao Yulian happened to hear this, "I heard that the director of the supply and marketing cooperatives came back, checked the warehouse, and found that someone was eating inside and out, and they were angry." ”
Qiao's father glanced at Qiao Jiayue and calculated the time, if they had agreed just now, they would be in the warehouse now, and they would have to be implicated.
As soon as Gao Yulian heard that she was interested, she chatted with the women, the goods of the supply and marketing cooperatives are not good, and the salespeople have a bad attitude.
As soon as we started talking about it that day, we couldn't stop talking.
Gao Yulian's eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Ahong, walked up and whispered, "A-Niang, why don't we go back first and ask others to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city tomorrow?"
Gao Yulian estimated the time, hurriedly said goodbye to the women, and returned to the village together. While chatting on the road, Qiao's father asked Gao Yulian what she lacked and hadn't bought.
"Hey, it's not that my nephew is going to get married, so I was asked to buy a piece of cloth. Gao Yulian said helplessly.
She is a little different in age from her younger brother, her grandchildren are all old, and her nephew is about to get married.
Wang Ahong took advantage of Gao Yulian's words to say that she should also add clothes to the men in the family, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's chatterbox opened suddenly.
Qiao's father was not good at interjecting, and he fell behind Qiao Jiayue on his back, thinking in his heart how to spend this year?
Qiao Jiayue listened carefully, she learned from Gao Yulian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's words that her nephew's vision was not low, and the cloth of the supply and marketing cooperatives could not be looked down upon.
When the father and daughter returned home, they had already missed lunch, and they were so hungry that they ate a few bowls of wild vegetables.
"A-Niang, why is there so much less brown sugar?" Qiao Jiayue opened the cabinet and wanted to say that she could take some brown sugar to remove the taste of wild vegetables in her mouth, and when she saw that there was so much less brown sugar, she felt strange in her heart.
The weather was fine today, Qiao's mother removed the quilt and sheets and put them outside the door to dry, and when she heard her daughter's words, she responded: "Your aunt came and said that grandpa wanted to eat sugar cakes, so I packed some for her." ”
"......" Qiao Jiayue frowned slightly, sugar cake?"
"Your aunt tosses and eats the most, she uses finch wheat flour, brown sugar, and shallots to make pancakes, she brings some, in the top jar of the cabinet, you take one and taste it. ”
Mother Qiao knew that Aunt Qiao was actually greedy, but she did not refuse the other party's request for brown sugar.
The eldest aunt is slow and greedy, but she is good at being a person and has made good things, and she remembers to give one when she comes back.
Compared with several concubines, Qiao's mother still likes to deal with her.
There are many people who like to take advantage, but not many know how to take advantage.
Aunt Qiao's making sugar cakes is not a secret among the children, and Aunt Qiao and Aunt Qiao also asked for brown sugar under other excuses, but Mother Qiao cleanly refused.
Give Aunt Qiao brown sugar, she can eat what she had yesterday, Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao, and give these two younger siblings those brown sugars in vain.
Qiao Jiayue took a look, only Qiao Hongliang was at home, "Third brother, have you ever eaten the sugar cakes made by your aunt?"
Qiao Hongliang nodded, moved the stool, took off the jar at the top of the cabinet, and took out a pancake the size of two palms for adults.
The brown cake is dotted with tender green onions and wild vegetables, and a hint of brown sugar mixed with chives hits the nose.
Qiao Jiayue tore a small piece, the entrance was soft and chewy, with a hint of sweetness, which made people want to eat it.
"Third brother, you eat too. Qiao Jiayue tore a piece for Qiao Hongliang, divided the sugar cake in her hand, ran over and stuffed it into Qiao's mother's mouth.
She was sure that Qiao's mother would definitely not be willing to eat this thing.
Qiao Jiayue planned to let Qiao Hongyuan taste this taste as well, but she saw that there were many children outside Grandpa Qiao's house.
And Qiao Hongmu was like a proud rooster, holding his chest and tail, commanding the other children.
She listened to it in both ears, it was nothing more than childish content among children, such as not being nice to anyone, such as wanting to help do something, among which Qiao Hongzhi's name was mentioned several times.
As long as these children agreed, Qiao Hongmu gave them sugar cakes to eat.
She snorted in her heart, she was very unpleasant to see Qiao Hongmu's smugness, and she didn't want to think about where the brown sugar of the sugar cake came from, and she dared to instigate others to do bad things.
Besides, this sugar cake is not difficult to eat, and you can't make it yourself?
Qiao Jiayue ran outside the mushroom shed, and first heard Li Hongge chatting with other women.
"Hmph, don't look at what year it is, what kind of sugar cakes do you still make? If it weren't for the lack of brown sugar, who wouldn't make it?"
"The brown sugar was taken from the captain's house, if you want me to say, Yueshan [Qiao's mother] is too soft, so her sister-in-law pinched it. Li Hongge pursed his lips and said.
"If we don't make sweet, we will make it salty, and it takes a lot of effort, and those boys in my family almost didn't grind me to death. ”
Li Hongge pursed her lower lip, thinking of the income she received at the end of the year, she was tempted, "That's right, there is nothing else, there is no shortage of finch wheat." ”
These days, the canteen is not fired, but wild vegetables such as finch wheat are still picked by special people and distributed to each household according to the population.
And the wild vegetables in front of and behind the houses, the production team has been turning a blind eye, and the members are allowed to add meals during the New Year.
Qiao Jiayue's heart moved, she first stuffed the sugar cake in her hand to Qiao Hongyuan, and then ran to several production teams, and found that many women were talking about it.
For the processing of the finch wheat, the four teams made the finch wheat cake at the beginning, but it was finally canceled because it was too troublesome and time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Now that the eldest aunt is making this sugar cake, it has really brought a trend in the team.
Qiao Jiayue also saw that some women took the initiative to go to Aunt Qiao, saying that they wanted to ask her for a way to make more food out of finch wheat.
Even if the production team does not have enough mouth, it will not be able to stop cooking, and it is not easy for the members to prepare food for the New Year.
For the poor people, the New Year is the most important day, no matter how hard and desperate they are, they can find hope in this day.
"Mother, when are we going to make something to eat?" Qiao Jiayue turned around and came back, her upper body lying on the quilt, and asked in a muffled voice.
If you want to talk about the handling of finch wheat and the production of food, I'm afraid no one has as much experience as Qiao's mother, who makes this thing similar to wheat?
"Don't worry, clean the house first, and then start doing it at twenty-eight. Qiao's mother pulled Qiao Jiayue up, "Don't press the quilt, the cotton won't be warm if it's strong." ”
In these years, cotton tickets are scarce, and it is difficult to buy a quilt, and many people only have a quilt for many years.
The three quilts of their family were brought back from the north back then, and they can be said to be the thickest in the entire brigade.
Those who don't have a quilt can only fill them with reeds, soft cat hair grass, etc. to keep warm.
The Takayama Brigade does not prohibit members from burning water in their homes, so it is fortunate that there have been no freezing deaths since the beginning of winter.
Qiao Jiayue thought about it, she made it too early, she was afraid that she couldn't help but eat it all, and this would make the children run all over the village, and there was really no secret about what the family did.
