Yang Yun also fried the sesame seeds, and when the syrup was boiled until it dripped into the water, it proved that it was boiled well. Yang Yun poured the crushed peanut kernels into the syrup, stirred well, and poured it onto a flat plate brushed with oil. Then sprinkle fried sesame seeds on top of the peanut candy, and when the peanut candy is not so hot, gently flatten it with a rolling pin. Yang Yun pressed the peanut candy to a thickness of about three centimeters, and then used a knife to cut the peanut candy into small pieces, which can be cut into small rectangles or squares.
After being busy for more than an hour, it took more than ten catties of peanut candy to finish, but fortunately, Yang Yong was next to help press the peanut candy and cut the candy together. After the peanut candy cooled through, Yang Yun took a piece and tasted it, it tasted so delicious, exactly the same as the one she ate in her previous life.
The two brothers were even more unceremonious, and even ate a few pieces, and finally Yang Yun couldn't stand it anymore, so she put away all the peanut candy, and today the two brothers ate a bunch of fried peanuts, and ate a lot of peanut candy, and if they eat it again, they won't be able to open their mouths tomorrow. And the peanut candy should also be kept for the New Year.
The two brothers watched Yang Yun confiscate all the peanut candy, revealing exactly the same expression, the sad look was unbearable for people to see it, especially Yang Xuan's watery black grape-like eyes, blinking at Yang Yun, Yang Yun felt that he couldn't help but give him peanut candy. In the end, Yang Yun was ruthless and went directly to her grandmother's room to do needlework.
These days, Yang Yun has been practicing needlework hard, not to mention that she can embroider, but only that the corners of sewing clothes are much tighter and smoother than before. The two brothers saw that Yang Yun resolutely stopped giving them peanut candy, and ran outside to play without eating.
While doing needlework, Yang Yun thought about what kind of snacks were good, the peanut candy was too hard, and her grandparents would definitely not be able to eat it. I don't know what ingredients Grandpa will buy when he goes to town, or wait for Grandpa to come back to see what materials are available and make some fluffy snacks for grandparents to eat.
Yang Yong got the dim sum mold back from Zhou Limin's house, Yang Yun had already made a basin of water, soaked the mold in the water to taste, and the new mold had a very heavy raw wood smell.
Grandpa and Uncle Li didn't come back until the afternoon, and Yang Yun ran outside the door to help grandpa carry things back to the house.
"Grandpa, we're coming back so late today."
"There are too many people in the town today, it is really crowded, buying and selling things, everyone takes advantage of the sunny weather, and everyone goes to the town to buy New Year's goods."
"Yes, today is a good day, grandpa, come into the house quickly, the family has left food for you, and Xiao Yun will help you heat it."
"Yun girl, don't need it, I bought buns with your Uncle Li in the town today to fill my stomach, I won't be hungry, and the rest of the meal will be saved for the evening."
"Okay, grandpa." Yang Yun helped her grandfather move the things he bought back to the house, and then squatted on the ground and rummaged through the things to see what was there.
Grandpa bought some glutinous rice, some fine white flour, and even refined white rice, except for that time when Yang Xuan was sick, Yang Yun saw refined white rice at home for the second time. Yang Yun weighed it with his hands, and his grandfather probably bought about five catties of refined white rice, four or five catties of fine white noodles, as well as a few catties of Yi sugar and a few catties of red dates.
Grandpa also bought a few pounds of bacon, but did not buy fresh meat, grandpa said that he had already booked with the Zhou butcher in the village, and would go to pick up fresh meat on Chinese New Year's Eve. At the end of the year, the villagers who raise pigs will kill the pigs and buy fresh ones when the Chinese New Year is approaching. Of course, some villagers killed the pigs early and marinated the pork into bacon.
The Yang family also has some dried fish, and there is no fresh fish at this time, so when the time comes, the dried fish will be taken out to make a dish, so that the Yang family will also have fish and meat for the New Year, and there are fish on behalf of more than one year in a row. Yang Yun finished all the things that her grandfather bought, and there were no good materials, so she finally looked at the red dates and decided to make another red date cake for her grandparents to eat. And the red pastries are also more festive for the New Year.
Yang Yun soaked the red dates in warm water for about half an hour, during which Yang Yun brought Yang Yong and his brothers back to work, and when they saw that Yang Yun was going to cook again, the brothers were happy again and decided to forgive Yang Yun for confiscating the peanut candy. It's a pity that Yang Yun doesn't know what the two brothers think, if they do, the red date cake will be confiscated in the end.
After the jujubes were soaked, Yang Yun asked Yang Yong and his brothers to crush the jujube flesh, and then take out the kernels. Yang Yun added a little flour to the glutinous rice flour to neutralize the softness of the pastry, and beat a few eggs into the two kinds of sugar water in the large bowl and stirred evenly. It is better to beat the sugar water and eggs until they are foamy, Yang Yun added some brown sugar to adjust the color this time, it would be better if there was milk, which could make the taste of the jujube cake stronger and sweeter.
Finally, pour the sugar water into the glutinous rice flour with flour, and then pour in the crushed red dates, several materials are stirred evenly, if the sugar water is too little, you can add a little water, and the glutinous rice flour should be stirred to be viscous and flowing
Yang Yun took out all the bowls at home, brushed a thin layer of vegetable oil on the inner wall of the bowl, and then poured the stirred glutinous rice flour into the bowl.
It didn't take long for bowls of fresh jujube cake to come out, with a red color and a sweet taste unique to eggs and dates. It makes people feel that they can have an appetite for both sight and taste. Yang Yun poured the red date cake from the bowl onto the plate and cut the red date cake in a cross shape with a knife. When the jujube cake was not so hot, Yang Yun took some for her grandfather and grandmother to taste. The soft and sweet jujube cake made the two old people praise it absolutely, especially when grandma said that after Yang Yun, she could open a small snack shop by herself.
And Yang Yong's brothers didn't need Yang Yun to scream, and the two of them gobbled up in the kitchen.
"Brother, Xiao Xuan, is it necessary for the two of you to be so exaggerated."
"Sister, the jujube cake is so delicious, fluffy, delicate, sweet and delicious, not like the dim sum bought at the grocery store, which is very dry and grinds the throat."
"Of course, you don't look at our family is made of the best materials, Xiao Xuan, you eat slowly, you will swallow it in a while." Yang Yun looked at Yang Xuan's posture of stuffing red date cake into his mouth, and she was sweating on the side. Yang Yun decided to correct his problem of stuffing things in the future. If you swallow it, it will be troublesome, it will not benefit your health, and it will be too ugly.
"Sister, Xiao Xuan knows." Yang Xuan stuffed red date cake in his mouth, and replied to Yang Yun inarticulately.
Yang Yun looked at the appearance of the two brothers, shook her head and said that she was helpless, the life at home was slowly getting better, which the two brothers might not have dared to imagine before, and they could still eat such things.
Yang Yun steamed all the jujube cakes, poured them out and cut them into small pieces, then found a clean basket, spread a layer of oiled paper under the vegetable basket, put the jujube cakes neatly, covered them with a layer of clean cloth after loading, and received the jujube cakes in the cabinet. Now the weather is very cold, it will not break for a few days, and it can be kept for the New Year.
Of course, Yang Yun also left some out in advance and sent some to Aunt Li's family and Dr. Xu's family.
