When Old Man Chen finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, the two got up and went to the opposite nest to make red dates.

After boiling, the red dates are indeed easy to scoop a lot, and it doesn't take much effort to make most of the jujubes into jujube paste.

Back to the stove room, Xiaoxi took a clean small basin, beat four or five eggs, and handed them to Mr. Chen, who had a strong hand and frothy the egg liquid. Add a few more tablespoons of brown sugar and stir to combine.

Brown sugar is bought to wrap rice balls, into a piece, like a brick, when you want to use it, cut some down, cut into powder.

In their place, there are only brown sugar dumplings for the New Year, it seems that they have to find some peanuts and sesame seeds and the like, peanuts are at home, and they have to focus on looking for sesame seeds when they rush to the scene. Speaking of which, plus in this life, Xiaoxi has eaten brown sugar dumplings for more than 20 years, and he is tired of eating them, and he really doesn't want to eat them anymore.

Thinking of the peanuts, Xiaoxi added some honey to the basin, let the old man Chen stir it well, then took out a handful of fried peanuts from the space, took it to the stove door, and peeled it out with Chen Yubin in a few clicks.

I took a sieve hanging on the wall, this one is a round frame made of bamboo hoop and the bottom is made of gauze, which is used to sift glutinous rice flour and the like. Scoop a few spoonfuls of flour, pour it into a sieve, sieve it into an egg wash basin, stir well, and it is already a paste.

Pour it into a pot of jujube paste, stir well with the jujube paste, and let it stand for a few minutes to let the flour rise slightly. The creek uses a heavier kitchen knife to crush the peanuts into minced pieces.

At this time, Granny Chen had already made all the fish balls, all of them were cooled in a basin of cold water, the pot had been washed, half a pot of water had been added, and she took over Chen Yubin's work of cooking the pot.

Since the steamer was only used yesterday, it doesn't need to be cleaned anymore and is placed directly on the pot.

Thinking about steaming something, Old Man Chen came back from cutting two banana leaves from the back of the house and was cleaning. Xiaoxi remembered that there seemed to be a roll of oiled paper in her space, which she bought by accident when she went to Beijing, and piled it up in a corner of the wooden house. Because I bought it and left it there, I didn't turn it, so I didn't think about it for a while, and I only remembered it when I saw the banana leaves.

"Master, you're not busy washing. Then he leaned over to Old Man Chen and whispered, "Master, I remember that I have a roll of oiled paper there, which is easier to use, I'll go get it." ”

Old Man Chen washed his hands on the banana leaves, and when he heard his granddaughter's words, he had nothing to refuse, so he nodded directly. Then pick up the half-washed plantain leaves, put them in a basket, wait for them to dry and put away, and keep them for later.

Xiaoxi pulled Chen Yubin and walked out, because he was his own excuse!

"Oh~ That's right, mother, wash the pot in the middle and boil it, scoop two or three scoops of water, I'll use it later." After a pause in the footsteps of walking out, Xiaoxi turned his head and said to Granny Chen.

Granny Chen has been called around since the morning, and she is still a child, and she is immediately dissatisfied. Without raising his head, he sat in front of the stove door and was silent for a long time before he raised his head and complained: "Oh, I am your subordinate, and I am called for a while, one moment this, one moment that." ”

To turn around is to be busy, which means busy. Straight yes means all the time.

Old Man Chen cleaned up the hands of the banana leaves, raised his head and looked at Granny Chen with a dark face, no one was idle this day, they were all busy, why did she still say this. But Granny Chen finished complaining at this time, so she added firewood to burn the pot in the middle, and she didn't notice him at all.

Xiaoxi grinned, and didn't take this complaint to heart at all, she knew Granny Chen's temperament. She must do this, but she is not used to being called by her granddaughter, so she has to complain two sentences to get angry, and she still has to do it after complaining.

Xiaoxi then pulled Chen Yubin out of the door. handed the three pieces of oil paper in his hand to Old Man Chen, "Master, this is the oil paper I said, it won't stick to the steamer when you put it on, give it to you, spread it." ”

Take the oil paper in Xiaoxi's hand, wash it with hot water in the pot, and pad it directly in the steamer. The whole sheet of oiled paper was laid on the floor, which was larger than the steamer, and Old Man Chen folded the excess into it.

Xiaoxi picked up the porcelain basin on the board, poured a steamer into half of the basin, smoothed it slightly with a spatula, and sprinkled the peanuts that had just been smashed on the surface.

The first and second grids of the steamer are steamed jujube cakes, and the third grid of the steamer, pour the remaining half of the pot of fish puree, smooth it, then cover the lid, and add firewood to the pot hole to cook violently.

Thinking about the New Year, there are so many delicious things, there must be more to eat, and it is easy to get tired of panic, so Xiaoxi got some hawthorn and prepared to make some hawthorn cakes to prepare to relieve greasy and eliminate food.

When the water in the middle pot was about to boil, Xiaoxi poured most of the pot of hawthorn that she and Chen Yubin had made in the morning into the pot, because the pot was a little small.

After boiling for more than ten or twenty minutes, the hawthorn was cooked thoroughly, and the creek was scooped up with all the hawthorn meat in the soup, and half a pot of water was added and boiled.

"Master, these hawthorns are also going to rot. Xiaoxi pointed to the basin on the stove and said to Old Man Chen.

"Well, leave it to me. He didn't say much, and went out with a basin.

Xiaoxi cleaned the tools he had used just now, took them out for Old Man Chen, went back to the stove room, took out two lemons and cut them in half, took a clean small bowl from the cupboard, and squeezed the lemon juice into the small bowl with his hands. Scooped up a small bowl of rock sugar and prepared it, which was bought by Old Man Chen when he went to Longyan a few days ago.

The hawthorns are cooked thoroughly, so it doesn't take much time to rot it, and Old Man Chen returned to the house with the hawthorn mud after a while.

Xiaoxi washed the outermost pot, and said to Granny Chen, "Mother-in-law, just add a handful of firewood to this pot, and don't burn too much." ”

Granny Chen threw the tongs on the ground with a gloomy face, glanced at her, and the corners of her mouth twitched, this time she didn't say anything unpleasant, and started to burn the pot.

The pot in the middle is boiled, and all the remaining hawthorn is poured in. Seeing that the water in the pot outside had evaporated, the stream poured the hawthorn mud in the basin, and there was only an iron spatula at home, so he stirred it with a spatula, picked up the lemon juice on the side, poured it in, and stirred evenly.

When the hawthorn puree begins to boil, pour in the prepared rock sugar. The water evaporates quickly, so stir it from time to time with a spatula to prevent it from sticking. Until the rock sugar has melted and the hawthorn mud has become sticky, it is all boiled and put into an iron basin.

Since there is no plastic wrap, cover the basin with a clean plastic bag and cover it well to prevent dust from falling in. There was no refrigerator at home, and at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when the temperature began to drop sharply, Xiaoxi put the basin on the big table outside the house, froze it overnight, and tomorrow morning it would clump and slice it again.

Uncover the towels between the gaps in the steamer, because there are gaps between the steamers, and plug them with towels to prevent heat leakage. It's been steaming for more than forty minutes, and it should be about the same.

Lifting the lid of the steamer, a hot breath came to his face, and he pressed it slightly with his hand, which was elastic and not sticky, and the old man Chen said to Xiaoxi: "This, it should be steamed, not sticky." ”

Xiaoxi couldn't pay attention to it, so he said, "Master, cut it into two slices, taste it, and you'll know if it's ripe or not." ”

To taste is to taste and see, and there are also things to try and see, say and see, etc.

That's right, Old Man Chen nodded, took the kitchen knife in Xiaoxi's hand, cut a few slices, and tasted a slice of it.

"Yes, it's delicious. As she spoke, Granny Chen stuffed the remaining fish and tofu in her hand into her mouth, and smacked her lips after eating, which was very aftertaste.

And Chen Yubin's eyes lit up, this is more tender than fish balls, the fish fragrance is stronger, and it is not fishy, he is a little reluctant to eat everything in his hand, so he bites and eats it one bite at a time.

Old Man Chen nodded, "It's really delicious, it's just too soft, but it's a little chewy." "It's still springy, he still likes it.

The fish tofu is good, and it is estimated that the jujube cake is also good. Xiaoxi picked up the kitchen knife on the stove, lifted the steamer for fish and tofu, cut off a piece of jujube cake sprinkled with and without peanuts, and gave it to a few people to taste.

Well, it's ok, because there is no baking powder, so it's not as soft as it sells, and there is no oven, and it is steamed out in a steamer, so it looks good when baked in the oven.

The taste is a little worse, but except for the brown sugar, the rest of the ingredients are from the space, and honey is added, so the taste is better than the sale, and it makes up for some shortcomings.

"How's it going?" asked Brook, blinking, curious. I still want to know what other people think, although I agree with it.

"Mmmm, it's delicious!" As a loyal fan of Xiaoxi, Chen Yubin didn't agree, so he hurriedly nodded and praised.

"Well, it's all delicious, but I still think this one without minced peanuts is more delicious, and it will rot when you sip it, and the minced peanuts still have to be bitten, and it costs a lot of teeth." The old lady's teeth are not very good, so she likes to eat something soft, so she dislikes the jujube cake sprinkled with peanuts.

However, Mr. Chen and Granny Chen are just the opposite, "I think the one sprinkled with minced peanuts is more delicious than the one that is not sprinkled, crispy, and the one (jujube cake without peanuts) is soft and tumble, what is delicious." He snorted disdainfully.

His teeth were fine until he died at the age of eighty, and he was still full of teeth, and none of them had been lost. And he likes to eat hard and strong things all his life, and he just eats those soft things and doesn't have much interest in them.

Yes, I provoked Granny Chen again, and suddenly panted, widened her eyes, pointed to Old Man Chen's nose and said, "You dead old man, if you don't go against me for a day, you won't be angry, right?"

Qi out means to be comfortable and at ease.

Old Man Chen knew that he couldn't quarrel with her, so he suddenly turned his face and picked up the steamer and put it on the board. When Granny Chen saw that the old man didn't quarrel with her, and she couldn't quarrel alone, she rolled her eyes, sat in front of the stove to watch the fire, and continued to eat jujube cakes, without saying anything.

Watching the fire is to look at the fire in the pot hole at any time and avoid extinguishing it.
