Chapter 487: Fried Cake **

Tempted by the food, Niuniu finally overcame the symptoms of autism, and said the words "fried cake" to Wang Yong in front of so many people in the hospital, and then looked at Wang Yong with a slanderous face.

"Good! Good! At noon, Mrs. will make you fried cakes to eat! The second grandmother looked at Niuniu, the poor child, with a kind face, and took Wenwen's hand and led them into the house.

"Look, this is a good noodle, let's wrap all the bean paste in it later, can you wrap it with your wife?"

The second grandmother's words made the three little radish heads all smile, nodded in unison, and then began to prepare to open the bag, especially Wenwen, the girl who was the most active!

However, Niuniu, the child, still became silent again, standing quietly and watching the two young ladies and the very kind old grandmother wrap fried cakes together after washing their hands.

The first is to dig out a grunt sticky noodles from the basin, hold it in your hand and make a hole in the middle, and then dig out a piece of bean paste from the basin containing the bean paste and put it inside, and then use both hands to push it from the bottom to the top while turning, and soon, a round "round ball" that is much larger than the Lantern Festival appeared in the hands of the second mother.

"You see, this is fried cake. After doing too much later, let's burn a pot of oil, put the wrapped fried cake in the oil pan and fry it, and wait until the outer skin is golden and crispy, and the sticky noodles inside are all cooked, then take it out, cool it, and wait for it to cool down a little, and then you can eat it. ”

Wenwen and Faye Wong seemed to understand it, nodding absentmindedly and blindly. But Niu Niu's appearance is unexpected.

This very autistic and shy little girl hid behind Wenwen, and as soon as the second grandmother's voice fell, she stretched out her little hand to the basin containing the sticky dough and grabbed a handful of sticky dough.

Seeing that Niuniu's sister had done it, Wenwen and Faye Wong couldn't lift their spirits anymore to listen to the second grandmother explain the method of fried cakes, so they directly stretched out their little hands and grabbed them into the basin.

The second grandmother smiled and watched the three little girls gather around her, making fried cakes by herself. That beauty in my heart! Although none of these three children are her real granddaughters, the second grandmother, who likes children, has always treated all the children in the village as if they were her own.

"Look at how skillful these three children are! I gave them a demonstration this time, and they did it themselves, which is much better than Wang Qiang and Wang Yong's brothers! ”

As she spoke, the topic was crooked by the second grandmother again.

Don't look at this zuò fried cake that looks easy, but it's actually not simple. This is due to the fact that the very complicated preparations have already been made.

When Wang Yong and the others entered the courtyard before, they saw the second grandmother leading people to soak sticky rice, which was the first step in making zuò fried cakes, and it was a very important first step.

There are generally two kinds of rice, sticky rice and jiang rice. If the rice bubble is not good, there is no way to carry out the next step of crushing and grinding the noodles, and you can't make fried cakes without sticky noodles.

This rice has to be soaked for at least an hour or two. Allow it to soak up moisture and become plump and silky. Drain the soaked rice from the excess water, and then you can go to the flour mill to grind the rice into powder (you can also bring water to grind it together, many people do this).

The sticky dough that has been ground into flour can be mixed with water and yeast to make noodles, and finally it becomes the soft, sticky dough that Wenwen and her hands are now directly wrapped in fried cakes.

The method of frying fried cakes is generally to heat the oil, at least to 70%. The inspection method is also very simple, take a clean chopstick and put it into the oil pot, and the chopsticks are bubbling around the chopsticks. You can also put the fried cake in the pan.

When the raw fried cake is put into the hot oil pan, it will quickly change color, and when the color of the fried cake becomes darker, it will gradually turn golden brown. Even when it's dark red, it's almost ready to come out of the pot.

The freshly fried fried cake is golden and crispy on the outside, soft and glutinous on the inside, sweet and delicious. Especially the bean paste filling, sweet and rustling. Mixed with the unique texture of sticky rice noodles, the taste is not to mention how delicious!

The fried cakes will be very sticky after cooling, and if they are a bunch of fried cakes put together, then these fried cakes will definitely stick together and become a soft ball.

After the good fried cakes are cooled, put them in the pot and steam them, then these fried cakes will become a complete ball, and you can't lift them with chopsticks. It is often stretched longer and longer, and finally torn in half and turned into two halves.

However, some people like to eat this kind of rice cake at this time, because it tastes very sticky, very strong, and more soft and glutinous, both the texture and taste are extremely special, but people who don't like to eat sticky things have absolutely no love for fried cakes.

Wang Yong remembers that when he was a child, every year before the Chinese New Year, starting from the 25th and 6th of the lunar month, people in the village would start to fry fried cakes in every household.

Some of them began to be fried on the 23rd day of the lunar month, and some of them were not fried until the 28th or even the 29th of the lunar month. However, once the Chinese New Year's Eve passed, no one would blow it up anymore, and Wang Yong couldn't figure out what the custom was.

Later, when Wang Yong grew up, especially in the past few years, some people who like to eat this thing are also changing this custom, as long as they want to eat it, then do it, it doesn't cost much anyway.

When he was working in other places, Wang Yong also saw fried cakes from other places at the early stall, which also had bean paste filling, but the shape was no longer a ball, but a cake.

In addition to the red bean paste, there are also some special things that will be breaded in it, such as vegetables, such as minced meat. Anyway, Wang Yong is not used to eating it, so he can buy a bean paste filling at most to taste the taste of his childhood, and as for other fillings, he doesn't even have the courage to try.

In the countryside near the village of Banshan, there is only one filling for fried cakes, and that is red bean paste. As for the other fillings wrapped in the sticky dough, it is not called fried cake.

What is it called?

It's the Lantern Festival!

It is also used to wrap the filling with sticky noodles, but the filling is no longer bean paste, but a special filling or other fillings that you like. Wang Yong hadn't studied what it was, but he had seen it.

It is usually in the shape of a small cube, no more than one centimeter in length, width and height, much like a sugar cube. When cooked, it turns into a puddle of juice that is said to be delicious.

The reason why it is said is that it is because Wang Yong has never tasted the taste of Lantern Festival. Just like he never eats moon cakes, it is because there are red, green, and green things in the fillings of these two kinds of food, and I seem to have heard people say that it is called green silk roses.

The name is nice. But since Wang Yong saw it for the first time when he was a child, he was extremely disgusted with this thing, and even once he was sick to his stomach and couldn't look at it.

I can't say what the reason is, he himself is very puzzled. In the end, it can only be attributed to a personal favorite! He is a more isolated person (local dialect, that is, more individual, different from ordinary people, generally a derogatory term), and most people are different.

Just because of Wang Yong's problem, when his mother was still alive before. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I want to make the Lantern Festival, and I never buy that kind of ready-made filling, but make it myself.

The ingredients generally include walnut kernels, peanuts, sesame seeds, brown sugar, etc., mash these materials together, stir well, and then put them in a pot and fry them to use directly.

This is the most traditional filling for the local Lantern Festival. A long time ago, people used this kind of filling to make Lantern Festival. This filling is used to make mooncakes, which are the most traditional five-kernel ones!

But Wang Yong already has a shadow in his heart about the Lantern Festival, even if there is no stuff in the filling that he hates very much, he never touches the Lantern Festival and moon cakes. No matter how delicious they are, they don't touch them.

"Godfather, come here! Hurry up! ”

Wenwen's loud shout with a hint of coquettishness woke Wang Yong up from his contemplation, and quickly turned his eyes to see what her daughter was telling her to do.

I saw my godfather coming. Wenwen was even more excited, waving her little hands covered with sticky noodles, dancing with him to show him the fruits of her labor.

"Look, godfather. Look, I did it! ”

Wenwen said as she stretched out her hand to swipe over the piece of fried cake of different sizes in front of her, her eyes full of anticipation, expecting the compliment from her godfather.

"Well, my daughter is so capable! That's all there is to it! ”

Now, Wenwen is happy! However, this girl deliberately pretended to be very reserved, and after receiving a bunch of complimenting words and glances from a group of people around her, she pursed her lips and went to have fun.

Wang Yong was studying the large and small cakes made by his daughter, round or partial, and several fried cakes with revealing fillings, when he suddenly noticed that someone was tugging at the corners of his clothes, and he hurriedly looked down.

Niuniu, this little girl, was tugging at the corner of her clothes, looking up at herself with anticipation. When she saw Wang Yong looking down at herself, she hurriedly held up a large and round fried cake in her other hand for Wang Yong to see, and at the same time, a very proud expression appeared on her little face.

Before Wang Yong could praise her, the little girl let go of the hand that was holding Wang Yong's clothes, pointed to the fried cakes that Wenwen had just made, and pointed to the one she was holding in her hand, her face full of contempt.

Wang Yong was amused by this little girl all of a sudden, and he immediately understood what this little girl wanted to do. This is jealousy! This little girl, just heard that she only praised Wenwen, but didn't praise her, so she didn't want to.

The fried cake made by others is much better than Wenwen's, and there are more rules, why don't you praise me? You see that what Sister Wenwen did was so ugly, so ugly, no one else did it well!

"Hehe, Niuniu is also the most capable! The fried cake made by Niu Niu is the most beautiful! If you don't believe it, ask your sister Faye Wong? ”

Out of the corner of Wang Yong's eyes, he saw Faye Wong covering her mouth with her hands and looking at Niuniu funny, and hurriedly pulled her in.

Seeing Faye Wong's sister nodding with a smile, Niuniu was happy this time. proudly raised his little head, held the fried cake he made, and ran to the second grandmother to let the second grandmother see.

As expected, Wenwen was a little embarrassed, pursed her lips, and rolled her eyes very charming. Fortunately, I didn't lose my temper at Wang Yong.

Probably she also knows that although the ones she makes are numerous, they are indeed not as good as those made by Niuniu's sister in terms of quality. So, not admitting defeat, she ran back without saying a word, and began to trim the ones she made one by one, so that they looked as good as possible and behaved. (To be continued......)
