Listening to the laughter coming from outside the house, Granny Chen's face couldn't help but turn black and dark. Oh, I talked and laughed with your granddaughter, and I didn't get a good look. However, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, if the old man really lost his temper, she was still a little scared.

And Chen Yubin's eyes lit up, and Xiaoxi's image in his mind was a little taller. At this time, grandpa's face was so dark, he was so angry, only his sister could laugh at him, and only his sister dared to laugh at him. Sometimes I envy my sister, why is she not afraid of her grandfather's black face, and she can still talk and laugh with him, but she can't.

When he returned to the house, Xiaoxi cleaned his hands, and directly stirred the red mud with his hands, and found that all of them were mashed into mud, so he cleaned his hands again, wiped the water on his hands, grabbed two handfuls of glutinous rice flour, and grabbed a few handfuls of flour and sprinkled them into the basin.

"Hey...... Mother-in-law, you come and put the flour into the red mud, I can't move. Xiaoxi looked at Granny Chen flatteringly, looking like you are the most powerful.

It's a pity that Granny Chen didn't raise her head, so she didn't see her flattering appearance, but she was fortunate to be seen by Chen Yubin, so she covered her mouth and smiled sullenly. Xiaoxi glanced at him angrily, but Chen Yubin smiled even more vigorously.

Granny Chen was a little implicated in Xiaoxi because of what happened just now, so she didn't want to deal with her.

"Mother-in-law......" However, Xiaoxi is thick-skinned, and she doesn't care about her hot face sticking to other people's cold ass, and continues to cry flatteringly.

"Okay, okay, I'm not deaf, I'm just screaming, urging my life. After screaming a few times, Granny Chen got up with a dark face, but she still muttered. "Get out of the way. ”

Xiaoxi smiled "hee-hee", hurriedly gave up his seat to her, jumped to the side, and sat next to Chen Yubin to roast the fire.

After Granny Chen took over, her face drooped, because she was unhappy, so she had strength in her hand, and only heard the sound of "Peng Peng" hitting the basin and the table.

Xiaoxi pretended not to hear the sounds, touched Chen Yubin's hair, dried it, and put her hand on his back.

Chen Yubin's whole body was about to twist into a twisted shape, "Hehe...... Itchy, sister, I'm itchy, hee-hee......"

Xiaoxi patted him on the back, "Don't move, I'll see if the clothes on your back are wet." As he spoke, he put his hand into his clothes.

The back was all dry, but it was a little sticky, and the autumn clothes that were sticking to the skin were all wet, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said distressed and angry: "The clothes behind you are all wet, hurry up and bake them for a while." ”

Let him turn around, turn his back to the fire, and then pull down the zipper of his padded jacket, and take off the padded jacket, because there is still a pullover sweater, which is not easy to take off, so he didn't take it off, rolled the sweater up, revealing the wet autumn coat inside, and roasted it directly against the fire.

"Come, put your jacket on backwards like this, lest you catch a cold. Xiaoxi shook her clothes, turned around, and turned the zipper side to Chen Yubin. Chen Yubin straightened his arm and put on his clothes.

After a while, puffs of white smoke rose from his back.

"Xiaoxi, I've spoiled all these red beans, come and see, is this okay?" Old Man Chen came in from outside the house with a basin, and their habits here began to shout when they were far away.

Hearing this, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin glanced at the past together. However, on the way, Xiaoxi also took the time to glance at Granny Chen, only to see that she quickly raised her head and glanced at Old Man Chen, then withdrew her gaze and continued to work.

The speed is so fast, if Xiaoxi Fuzhi heard Old Man Chen's voice in his heart, he would have looked at it, otherwise he wouldn't have found it. With that cautious look, Xiaoxi wanted to laugh when he saw it. I thought: This side of my mother-in-law is rare, and I saw it twice today, it's not easy!

Old Man Chen put the red bean mud pot on the dining table in front of Xiaoxi, and saw that she was still looking at the door in a daze, with a smile on her face, so he looked back curiously, but there was nothing at the door, so he shook it in front of her eyes with his hand, "Hey, Xiaoxi, why are you still stunned." ”

Coming back to his senses, Xiaoxi smiled embarrassedly at him. I didn't expect to be stunned.

"Look, I'll make it look like this, no, I'll get another one. Old Man Chen didn't take her daze to heart just now, and pointed to the red bean paste in the basin and asked.

"Wait a minute. After washing his hands, Xiaoxi grabbed a handful of red bean paste and twisted it with his thumb and index finger, there were no more grains, and it was very delicate in his hand. Roughly turned over the bottom of the pot, all of them were pounded, there were no particles, and the feel was delicate, this is the bean paste.

"Okay, that's it. He grabbed a few more handfuls of sugar and put it evenly into the bean paste. Since red beans are not sweet, add some sugar to increase the sweetness.

At this moment, Granny Chen had already made the red dough and sat back by the fire quietly.

Bring the bean paste to the cutting board, "Grandpa, grandma, you all come." ”

Old Man Chen passed over very happily, and Granny Chen got up slowly and moved over step by step.

"Grandpa, grandma, you watch. Seeing that both of them were coming, Xiaoxi pulled a small ball from the pumpkin dough, rubbed it in his hand, pressed a small pit, dug a small ball of bean paste and stuffed it in, sealed the opening, and rubbed it in his hand, put it on the board and pressed it into a cake shape with his palm, which was not too round.

"It's like this, you're used to wrapping glutinous rice balls, you all know what to do, it's the end, you have to flatten it. My strength is small, and the pressure is uneven, so you can do it. "Hehe" smiled, and Xiaoxi retired.

sat back by the fire and grabbed Chen Yubin, who was about to come forward to help, "Come on, come on, don't worry, we'll be busy with ours." So I moved the red dough basin closer and taught him how to make red balls.

"This is like the one that makes dumplings, but it doesn't wrap the filling, just rub the balls, it's simple. "When I made one, I threw it into the empty basin on the side.

Like that means like that.

Xiaoxi was talking to Chen Yubin absentmindedly, and looked up at the two people in front of the board. There was a little distance in the middle, although they were silent, but the two cooperated tacitly.

Look, the pot with the bean paste was a little far away, and Granny Chen had a hard time digging it up, and the old man Chen helped move the basin in front of her, and moved it in front of Granny Chen, and exchanged places with the pot containing pumpkin pie.

Now, it is convenient for Granny Chen to make pumpkin pie, but it is troublesome to put it in the basin, so Old Man Chen simply waited for Granny Chen to make one, and then took it and put it in the basin.

Well, although neither of them spoke, there was no such stalemate atmosphere, and the atmosphere was more harmonious.

"Sister, sister~" Chen Yubin pushed Xiaoxi in a daze, why didn't he pay attention to himself for a long time, he was suddenly a little impatient, and his voice was a little louder.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xiaoxi, who came back to his senses, blinked innocently, and couldn't help but know Chen Yubin's white eyes and impatience.

"Look, how am I doing?" he showed the red balls held in the palm of his hand to Xiaoxi.

"Well, that's it, what you do later has to be about the same size, not too much, or it won't be fried. Xiaoxi was not at ease, and instructed again.

"I know, I've made dumplings. He just thought that the one he had packed was very good-looking, and he wanted to show it to her to show off, and he didn't know how to wrap it. Since he was sensible, he had his share of the dumplings every year.

At first, there was no board height, so I built a bench and stood on the bench to help with the bag, and then I didn't need a bench. It can be said that he is also a veteran.

Xiaoxi didn't take his lack of anger to heart, "Okay, okay, you're amazing, you're the best, the red balls you wrapped are the best, that's it." He rolled his eyes at him.

"Hey...... Is that. "Stinky fart, I don't know how to write the word "modest".

Ignoring his stinky fart, he looked out the door, and seeing that it was getting dark, he sped up the speed in his hand.

There was almost half a pot of red balls, and Xiaoxi shouted to Old Man Chen: "Master, we have already made half a pot of red balls here, I'm afraid that if we leave it for a long time, it will be difficult to get it after a while, or we will start frying it now?"

Old Man Chen looked back at the pumpkin pie with a small half pot, it was true that these things were easy to stick together after a long time, "Okay, I'll go and bring the oil drum over." "I washed my hands and went out.

There were three 50-kilogram oil drums in the house, and they were all placed in the room next to the sleeping house, and the rice, flour, and grain were also placed in that room. There is also a small five-kilogram plastic bucket in the stove, which is also used to hold rapeseed oil. Fill a full barrel of oil and fill it again when you have finished eating, so that it is convenient and clean to eat.

The brook got up, scooped up the pot, sat back on the stove, and boiled the pot.

Pour half a pot of oil and burn it over low heat, don't dare to burn too much, otherwise the fried things will be easy to burn.

Looking at the half pot of oil in the pot, Xiaoxi remembered the "boiling" of oil at home a few years ago.

Here they refer to oil extraction as oil extraction, because they are all machines.

At that time, the rapeseed oil, because the machine was not advanced, so there was no process of frying rapeseed, so the rapeseed oil was relatively astringent, and it was not an ordinary astringent mouth, and the fried vegetables were simply difficult to swallow.

Therefore, the fresh rapeseed oil that has just been beaten back needs to be processed again, that is, "boiled" rapeseed oil.

Pour all the oil into the pot, set up a firewood to "boil" the oil until it boils, remove the astringency, scoop it all up, wait for it to cool, and then put it into the oil drum. So that you can eat it on a regular basis.

Because more than 100 catties of rapeseed oil have to be beaten every year, and lard, that is, meat oil, has to be boiled at home every year, so it is impossible to eat all in a year, and there is a surplus.

I remember one year when I just called back rapeseed oil, the power went out that night, and the house lit candles, and it happened that the rapeseed oil in the stove room was eaten, and Mr. Chen took the candle to scoop the oil. Because the call just came back during the day, the power outage was not "cooked", and it was put together with the remaining half of the barrel of oil.
