Anyway, the frosting is usually prepared at home. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As for maltose, as for the Chinese New Year, the production team of the next township who knows how to boil malt sugar will organize team members to sell it from commune to commune, and those who have surplus grain or money at home will always buy some frozen rice candy for their children.

This is the advantage of a skilled production team. The money and food earned will be distributed to the members according to the work share, which can be regarded as a gratifying extra money a year ago.

Qingling whispered how to make mung bean cake: "...... After the mung beans are soaked in hot water, rub off the bean skin, steam them in the pot for a quarter of an hour, and if they can be crushed with a spoon, they are steamed, and they are crushed into a puree with a fine rice sieve, and then put them in the pot and fry. The fire can't be big, otherwise it will burn off, and when you fry it, put some vegetable oil and sugar down, and the sweetness depends on your personal taste. The bean paste is fried and dried to form a ball, and after it cools, it can be kneaded into shape. If there is that kind of moon cake mold, and the pattern can be pressed, it will be even more beautiful. ”

"My head was confused. Sister-in-law Zhang sighed with emotion, "You still need to use oil and frosting, no wonder it tastes so good." When the maltose is changed at home during the Chinese New Year, I will ask you to teach me how to do it. ”

"Okay!" Qingling nodded briskly.

Sister-in-law Zhang wrapped the remaining three mung bean cakes again and kept them for her in-laws and husbands.

Qingling took out the pile of rags and a ball of dark blue thread in the baggage.

"Why do you still bring cloth heads? I won't tell you, I have a lot of cloth heads that I don't need, although I take them to practice. Sister-in-law Zhang stretched out her index finger and pointed at the tip of Qingling's nose, and pretended to be angry, "Why are you so outside, this girl." ”

Although I can't make a few clothes all year round, I can't stand the large number of people in my family, and every Chinese New Year, I will tear a few feet of cloth and take turns to make new clothes for my family. After a few years, the rag head can save a burden. The cloth is too broken, how many threads do you have to use to make clothes, and the threads are not bought with money, so in addition to wiping cabinets and doors with mops, and then patching clothes when they are torn. Over time, there are more rags accumulated.

Sister-in-law Zhang is telling the truth. Qingling Ken came over with a ball of thread, and she was very happy, which showed that this girl did not like to be cheap. Replace it with those in the village who pick and instigate, not to mention some souvenirs, even the cloth head and thread must be used by your family. No matter how generous a person is, it is inevitable that he will not be comfortable.

Qingling smiled: "Sister-in-law, I have selfish intentions, although it is to practice, but who said that it must be a waste? I plan to make a short apron with these cloths and take it home." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang was amused by her: "Okay! Then let's make an apron." Anyway, these cloth heads you picked are quite suitable for making aprons, and they are all sturdy clicker cloths. ”

When Qingling picked these rags, it didn't matter if it was a piece of cloth or not, she just felt that the color was dark and strong to the touch, so it was quite suitable for an apron. Otherwise, it can only be cut into strips to make a mop. But the problem is that the cloth head is long and short, and you have to connect the short one to make a mop, which is not only laborious but also laborious.

"These widths are okay, do you want to make a menstrual belt?" Sister-in-law Zhang turned out two palm-wide and half-foot-long cloth heads, and asked Qingling casually, "If you have a menstrual event, it is good to sew grass and ash bags, that thing is often changed and washed, and it breaks quickly." ”

Qing Ling is embarrassed.

"What are you ashamed of!" Sister-in-law Zhang laughed at her, "They are all women, what is there to be ashamed of." ”

The menstrual belt is generally enough for two changes, and the ash bag is indeed more expensive - because it may have to be changed every day.

It is not clear what women in the city use to pin their pants when they have menstruation, and women in the countryside use ash packets of grass and trees the most.

The waste cloth is sewn into a palm-wide, two-finger-long pocket, and the mouth of the bag is used to stuff grass and wood ashes, stuff it for seven or eight minutes, and then close it with a needle. When menstruation, wrap the grass and wood ash on the menstrual belt, spread two layers of straw paper on the top if possible, and remove the straw paper and replace it with a new one when it is dirty.

The ash bag of plants and trees is generally changed once a day, and it can't be rotated too much. Changing does not mean throwing it away, but dismantling the thread of the closure, pouring out the dirty plant ash, washing and drying the bag, reloading the clean plant ash, and continuing to use the stitch to close the mouth......

Qingling had only been here for menstruation a few days ago, and she did feel that the ash bag of plants and trees was a little stretched. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, and the washing was not dry, and the body was dirty.

Fortunately, I didn't go to work, so I squeaked with my master and my wife, and I didn't go out for two days at home.

A broken felt was laid on the bed, and an ancient book picked up from the acquisition station was held in his hand to kill time, and he lay down cautiously and didn't even dare to turn over.

Now listening to Sister-in-law Zhang's mention, Qingling feels that it makes sense.

So he obediently looked at Sister-in-law Zhang, and used a sewing locomotive to get a few decent pieces of cloth to one place. Every step you do will be explained to Qingling. Three bags of ash came out. Let Qingling take it back and scrub it with soap, hang it in the sun to dry, and then use it when you come back to the moon.

Pick out the big ones, and the rest is the real rag head - the largest is half the size of a palm, and the small one is only the width of a thumb.

Sister-in-law Zhang took out her family's existing rag head and gave it to Qingling: "Since you said that the thread is enough, just wear a short gown, not only at home, but also when you go to the mountains to eat wild vegetables." It's a waste to spend so many threads just making an apron. ”

"Okay. Qingling nodded. Although there are two thread groups at home, one black and one blue, I went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy them. However, if you can save it, you can save it, not to mention that Sister-in-law Zhang's words make sense: the apron is only suitable for home wear. She will definitely have a lot of opportunities to go up the mountain in the future, and the short gown is still very useful.

"Then you practice your hands first, pick up these rags at the end of the car, and I'll teach you the rest. I went to cut some vegetables in my own plot, and when the child woke up, he couldn't leave. Sister-in-law Zhang saw that Qingling could already use a sewing machine, so Tie reassured her to leave her at home to practice her hands, and went to do housework by herself.

Qingling was not very skilled at first, and would always accidentally trip or tear off the thread, and only later did she slowly get started. By the time Sister-in-law Zhang came back, the sewing machine had already made it look decent.

Because it is spliced with rag heads, it is not as convenient as the new cloth in cutting, but there is a good hand of sister-in-law Zhang on the side, and Qingling will be a little red, and in less than half a day, a short gown spliced with flower cloth is made.

"This thing is so easy to use!" Qingling touched the sewing machine with emotion.

"It's much faster than handiwork. Don't worry about not being able to wear new clothes for the New Year, right?" Sister-in-law Zhang teased her.

Qingling said with a smile: "Then my sister-in-law has to be willing to borrow it from me." ”

"You cramped devil, dare to dig a pit here and wait for me. Sister-in-law Zhang said with a smile, "Okay, I'm at home every day during this time, whatever time you come." But don't tell the outside, Mao Afeng didn't agree to borrow it from me before, if you knew that you were in my car, I might have said something ugly. ”

"I know. Qingling nodded.
