Chapter 166: The Joy of the Festival

Zhong Wei and Niu Dingtian in the kitchen are busy, making colorful steamed cakes is a job that requires patience, steamed cakes in seven colors, white, water red, yellow, sugar, red, brown, and then there is the excessive color between the intersection of various colors.

When it is made, it is as gorgeous as a seven-colored rainbow.

Rice, the original white color of glutinous rice, is soaked in pink natural plant dyes to produce the desired colors, and ground into rice noodles for later use.

Bring the water to a boil in a pot, put the hazelnuts for cooking, put a clean gauze on the mat, and then start with the bottom layer of white, and put the rice noodles into the hazelnuts one by one.

The rice noodles laid one by one are slowly and evenly heated under the action of steam, and the level of the maker is observed to observe the degree of ripeness of the rice noodles before the next layer can be laid.

Increment by layer.

Layers of rice noodles are evenly paved from the bottom layer upwards, with a total thickness of 20 centimeters, and the layers of seven colors can be freely matched.

The control of the heat and the experience of the maker are the most important.

When the seven-layer rice noodles are completed, it is slowly steamed until it is fully cooked, and there is an interesting legend in it.

That is, when every family is making steamed cakes, people with fox odor are not allowed to enter the kitchen, otherwise, the steamed cakes will not be cooked thoroughly.

It becomes the medium-cooked product which is hard to eat.

Although this is a legend, the people who actually make steamed cakes have always followed this tradition, and no one is allowed to enter the kitchen when making them.

Sometimes, families are not even allowed into the kitchen, except for the chef who makes the steamed cakes.

Niu Dingtian was a helper next to him, handing the prepared rice noodles to Chef Zhong Wei, who looked at the rising heat in the pot and began to make steamed cakes layer by layer.

Niu Dingtian was already very familiar with Zhong Wei's method of making, and when Zhong Wei had done the same, covered with a hazel lid, he took out a pack of washed peanuts and chestnuts and began to fry them.

It's like this every year at home, making fresh food, making enough delicious food for everyone to enjoy, and trying not to make too many of them, because these delicacies will taste much worse the next day.

Therefore, if you make it on the same day and taste it, it tastes the best.

Seeing that Niu Dingtian began to get busy, Zhong Wei smiled and asked softly: "Don't take your aunt's promise to that girl." Although her Huang family did wronged you before, she apologizes now. ”

"You know that your aunt and I have never had children, and just now I saw her crying for this, so I didn't have a family anymore...... I don't even know what to do. ”

"That's a good girl, too." Zhong Wei said a little at a loss.

Niu Dingtian turned around and smiled at his uncle: "Uncle, I know!" Actually, you don't have to say that to me. Auntie, you and you have loved me so much all these years. Now my aunt has accepted Sister Pei Ling as her daughter, that's a good thing! ”

He said and grimaced at Zhong Wei: "In the future, when I am not at home, my sister will be able to accompany you." What a good thing. ”

Zhong Wei listened to him say this, and the worry in his heart was put down a lot, and he nodded lightly: "It's good that you can think so." ”

Look at the peanuts and chestnuts that Niu Dingtian is going to make: "Lot, right?" ”

Niu Dingtian looked back at the peanuts and chestnuts in his hand, and said with a smile: "Li Min's little girl is going to come over in a while, so she will call in the morning and say that she wants to eat something delicious." I'll make some for her. ”

Zhong Wei nodded and smiled: "Then you prepare more, she will send it over if she doesn't come." I'm going to pour your aunt a glass of wine, she's so happy today! ”

"Got it. Go ahead and have two more drinks today. Niu Dingtian smiled and began to fry peanuts and chestnuts.

The family in the yard laughed and talked about the interesting stories of Niu Dingtian and Liu Qing, which was lively.

Niu Dingtian in the kitchen looked at the family through the window, and a smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth.

His phone rang suddenly.

"Brother! Is it delicious? I'm almost at my doorstep. Little Nizi's cheerful voice came from the phone.

Niu Dingtian smiled: "I'm doing it!" When you arrive, you can eat it hot. ”

"Mmmm, my mom and I will be here in a while, you do it quickly. Hung up. Xiao Nizi hung up the phone.

After thinking about it with the phone, Niu Dingtian dialed Qiao Xin's side, and Qiao Xin's cheerful voice came after the beeping sound: "Little Niu, why did you remember to call me." ”

Niu Dingtian smiled: "Mid-Autumn Festival! Seeing that you are bored alone, come and sit at home! I sautéed spiced peanuts and sugar-stuffed chestnuts. It's delicious. ”

Qiao Xin laughed happily: "Okay! It's all my favorite food. But this will be me and Wei Lan and Li Xuejiao eating, okay, I'll come over, maybe later. ”

Niu Dingtian smiled: "Help me say happy holidays to my two sisters." It's okay to be late, I'm not going anywhere today anyway. ”

"Uh-huh! I'll be right here. Hung up! Qiao Xinjiao smiled and hung up the phone.

Niu Dingtian began to concentrate on stir-frying the roasted food in the pot.

After a while, the door of the courtyard was pushed open, and Xiao Nizi happily called Wang Fang and Zhong Wei to run into the house, and was slightly flurgated when she saw Huang Peiling.

Wang Fang and Zhong Wei got up and greeted Yang Yanhong behind Xiao Nizi: "Yanhong also asked you to bring Nizi over for the big holiday, we should have come over." ”

Yang Yanhong smiled: "What's the use!" This Nizi has been talking at home for a day, and she has been thinking about coming over for a long time. Even the food is not delicious. ”

She watched her daughter squeeze to Wang Fang's side and sit down, and then looked at Huang Peiling, who was also slightly surprised, shook her head and smiled at Wang Fang: "Look, this is almost your daughter." ”

Wang Fang was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "It's just in time!" Come, I'll introduce you. This is Huang Peiling, the daughter I just recognized. ”

"Pei Ling, this is your bright red aunt. Scream auntie! This girl's name is Li Min. Your sister! ”

Huang Peiling, who had already followed Wang Fang's family to get up, obediently called out to Yang Yanhong: "Hello, auntie." Sister Xiaomin is good. ”

Yang Yanhong smiled: "It's all good." ”

Zhong Wei had already moved a stool and asked with a smile, "Sit down." What about Lao Li? Traveling for business again? ”

Yang Hongyan sat down and shook her head: "My family's mouth, there is no way, every time I celebrate the festival, I do this." What about calves? ”

Wang Fang pointed to the kitchen: "Cook something for Nizi!" ”

Xiao Nizi laughed and asked Liu Qing, "Brother Qing, aren't you going to help?" ”

Liu Qing pouted: "He can't use my help, just sit and wait for something delicious." ”

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional!

Niu Dingtian in the kitchen heard Yang Hongyan's words, but there was a little more weirdness in his heart, indeed! Xiao Nizi's father, he hasn't seen them a few times since he met their family, and he is not at home most of the time.

I also asked Xiao Nizi what her father did, but this elf and eccentric little guy didn't even know what his father did, and only said that he was a security guard, how could there be such a security guard...... This is no ordinary oddity.

And Li Zhengxiong always has an indescribable majesty.

This made Niu Dingtian feel more and more strange.

Although that power had no effect on him and Liu Qing, he had also seen Zhong Wei and Wang Fang be somewhat unnatural when facing Li Zhengxiong.

Li Zhengxiong is more like the majesty of a superior, but Yang Hongyanhong said that he is just a security supervisor.

And in addition to Li Zhengxiong, Yang Yanhong's conversation is much better than that of ordinary peasant women, even in the face of a shrewd person like Huang Peiling, she is not inferior.

"Uncle Li is weird!" Niu Dingtian's eyes rolled, opened the lid of the pot to see the fried goods, the heat is enough!
