In the twenty-seventh year, he made dim sum, in the twenty-eighth year he cleaned up, and in the twenty-ninth year he steamed radish cake. Yang Yun plans to make more sweet cakes and eight-treasure cakes this year, sweet cakes are very soft after steaming, which is most suitable for the elderly to eat, and children will like some of the eight-treasure cakes.
The production method of sweet cake is very simple, that is, pure glutinous rice flour is mixed with sugar water, and then put it in a pot to steam. The steamed cake is topped with some red yeast rice, so that the whole cake looks very festive. Sweet cakes, like radish cakes, can be used to worship the gods during the New Year. When cooled, the cake is as firm as a stone, and if you heat it slightly, it will become soft.
The eight-treasure cake is salty, and meat is added to it, so the eight-treasure cake is a pastry made by Yang Yun for children to eat, and it cannot be used to worship the gods. The ingredients of the eight treasure cake are: glutinous rice flour, dried bamboo shoots, pork, red beans, shrimp, dried tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and pine nuts. This year, when Yangjia Pond netted fish, some shrimp were also netted, and Yang Yun added salt to the shrimp and cooked it, then scooped it up and baked it into dried shrimp. Cooking soup and putting some shrimp can improve the freshness.
Before steaming the eight treasure cakes, many ingredients should be soaked in water, after the bamboo shoots are soaked, they should be washed several times to remove the salt on them, and the red beans should also be soaked in water. Other ingredients, such as dried shrimp, should be soaked in some water, then add a small amount of pepper and starch and stir evenly to marinate for a while.
Then wash the raw pork and cut it into cubes, add some rice wine, salt and starch and stir to marinate. After soaking the dried bean curd and shiitake mushrooms, wash them and cut them into cubes. Soak the dried bamboo shoots and red beans in a pot and blanch them first, then remove and drain the water. Then Yang Yun poured a small amount of oil into the pot, poured the raw pork into the pot and stir-fried, adding some soy sauce during the stir-frying. When the pork is medium rare, pour all the ingredients into the pan and stir-fry with the pork over high heat.
When all the ingredients are almost cooked, you can add salt to taste. You can add more salt, because after all the ingredients are fried, they should be poured into the glutinous rice batter and stirred evenly, and then taken to the pot to steam. After Yang Yun stirred all the ingredients and glutinous rice flour slurry in a certain proportion, she used a small steamer made of bamboo to steam the eight treasure cakes into round rice cakes.
Because of the addition of red beans, the eight-treasure cake is very beautiful and festive after steaming, but these baskets of eight-treasure cake can only be eaten, not sacrificed to the gods. In addition to sweet cakes and eight-treasure cakes, Yang Yun also made peanut candy, sesame candy, and red date cakes like last year.
Of course, when making peanut candy, it is inevitable that a few children will steal and eat a lot of fried peanuts. Yang Yun had expected this kind of thing, so this year's peanuts were fried a lot, and these peanuts were grown by the Yang family themselves, so Yang Yun naturally wouldn't save this peanut.
When the twenty-eighth year was cleaning, the three Yang Yun brothers and sisters plus the Dabao brothers went to Dr. Xu's house to help clean before returning to their own house to clean. Usually there is a cleaning in the house, so the twenty-eighth year does not need to be cleaned to be very clean.
Steamed radish cake on the twenty-ninth day of the year, last year Yang Yun steamed Cantonese radish cake is very popular, this year many people in the village are learning from the Yang family, steaming this Cantonese radish cake. The villagers came to inquire about the steaming method of Cantonese radish cake, and Yang Yun naturally told them in detail. After several families discussed this year, they agreed to steam the radish cake together, and with the help of Xuejuan's mother and daughter and Aunt Li, the radish cake was steamed quickly. The radish cake of Dr. Xu's family to worship the gods is still prepared by Yang Yun for his family.
This year, Haoguo is late in the Chinese New Year's Eve. Last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, the four families gathered around to eat hot pot, and this year Kong Zhongkan said early that there were guests on his side, and he would not gather with everyone for the holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve. Yang Yun had already discovered that some strangers came to the Kong family this winter, all of whom Yang Yun didn't know. There are many servants of the Kong family who do business outside, and they will come to the Kong family every year to reconcile accounts, and most of those shopkeepers Yang Yun have met face-to-face, so they all know each other, but this time Yang Yun did not know any of the people who came to the Kong family.
Uncle Li's family said that they wouldn't get together for the holiday this year, they would celebrate the festival by themselves. Finally, Grandpa and Dr. Xu discussed, Yang Yun's family, Chinese New Year's Eve went to Dr. Xu's house for dinner, accompanied Dr. Xu and his wife for the holiday, and then went home to celebrate the New Year after eating.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve still eats hot pot, but the place to eat hot pot is more special, directly located in Grandma Xu's house. Because there are only two families of the Xu family and the Yang family, Yang Yun suggested that the hot pot be set up in Grandma Xu's house, so that she could accompany Grandma Xu. As early as when winter came, Yang Yun asked Master Zhou to make a more inclined back chair, which was specially built for Grandma Xu. In this way, when winter comes, Grandma Xu can occasionally lie down on the chair and sit for a while, instead of sleeping on the bed all the time.
Yang Yun also made a big pillow, filled with cotton, and tonight on Chinese New Year's Eve, Grandma Xu sat on the back chair and ate the fish porridge that Yang Yun helped her.
"Thanks to Yun Yatou, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, I was finally able to sit and eat with everyone." Grandma Xu held Yang Yun's hand tightly, Yang Yun happened to sit next to Grandma Xu, responsible for helping Grandma Xu cook some dishes to eat.
"But no, for how many years on Chinese New Year's Eve, you haven't been able to sit and eat with me." Doctor Xu listened to Grandma Xu's words, and felt very guilty in his heart, if it wasn't for his own business, his wife would not be sick in winter.
"It's me who has caused you trouble, and my body won't work in winter." Grandma Xu is also very guilty of Dr. Xu, she is often sick, so that the old man has to take care of herself every day.
"It should be me who is even bothering you, and you are sick because of me." She has made her wife sick for so many years, but for so many years, she has never blamed herself, and she has always worried about affecting herself.
"Grandma Xu, Grandpa Xu, can you two elders save these heartfelt words for the night to say secretly." Grandma Xu was already with tears in her eyes because of guilt, and Yang Yun hurriedly came out to interrupt.
"You stinky girl, so rude, how can you say that about your elders." Grandpa saw that Yang Yun was neither big nor small, so he directly gave Yang Yun a big pot sticker on the back of his head.
"Ouch! Grandpa, it hurts. Yang Yun touched the back of the beaten head, but it didn't hurt very much, and grandpa didn't use any strength at all. But Yang Yun felt that she was really unlucky, it was difficult to be a good person.
"Old man, when it's the New Year, why are you beating the child?" Seeing Yang Yun being beaten, grandma was not happy, how could there be a child beaten during the New Year.
"Show me where it hurts." Grandma Xu saw that Yang Yun was beaten, and nervously pulled Yang Yun, wanting to see the back of her head that hurt when she was beaten.
"Brother Yang, it's all our fault tonight, and Yun Yatou is also for our good." Yang Yun prepared a chair for Grandma Xu, and also asked to arrange the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to accompany Grandma Xu in the room. Doctor Xu didn't know how grateful he was to Yang Yun in his heart, and he was not happy to see Yang Yun being beaten. Besides, Doctor Xu didn't usually treat Yang Yun as a child, he talked to Yang Yun and went straight like an adult, so he didn't get angry about what Yang Yun said.
"Well, to put it mildly, I've become a wicked person." Grandpa is very depressed, his granddaughter is no big or small, how can I teach her a lesson, so many people defend her.
"Grandpa, grandpa, don't be angry, it's all my fault just now, come, I'll help you eat shabu-shabu." Yang Yun saw that because of herself, her grandfather was blamed by everyone, so she hurriedly curried favor with her angry grandfather.
"Yes, let's eat too, I've been hungry for a long time." Tonight's incident was caused by Dr. Xu and his wife, and when Yang Yun was currying favor with her grandfather, Dr. Xu hurriedly came out to play a round.
With Dr. Xu playing a round game, and Dr. Xu directly pulling his grandfather to drink, tonight's episode has been turned over like this. Tonight's shabu-shabu dishes are quite sumptuous, with chicken, duck, fish, and pork all complete. There are also mushroom meatballs and ham slices that Yang Xuan loves to eat.
"Little master, come home with me." Yang Yun heard Kong Xueyi's voice in the house, Kong Xueyi is Xuejuan's eldest brother. When Yang Yun heard the voice, he went out to see, Chinese New Year's Eve to welcome the god of blessing, the door is generally closed in the early morning, so Kong Tianyou ran directly to Xu everyone.
"God bless, it's you, why aren't you at home and eating with your grandfather." As soon as Yang Yun went out, she saw Kong Tianyou running over.
"Sister, I'm going to eat here." As soon as Kong Tianyou saw Yang Yun, he hugged Yang Yun to death, he was afraid that he would be taken back to Kong's house by Kong Xueyi.
"You little cat, you can smell the delicious food we have here." Yang Yun pinched it lovingly, and Kong Tianyou's little nose was red from the cold.
"Because my sister is here, there must be something delicious." Kong Tianyou knew that the meals prepared by Yang Yun every time were very rich, not to mention that today was Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Miss Yang, the little master has to come to Dr. Xu for dinner, he said that you have dinner here tonight, there must be something delicious." Kong Xueyi, who rushed over from behind, looked at Yang Yun with some apologies. Kong Tianyou saw that the family was entertaining guests, so he ran over while his subordinates were not paying attention, but fortunately he found him.
"It's okay, it's just that Tianyou came like this, does Grandpa Kong know?" Kong Tianyou stayed at the Xu family for dinner, Yang Yun was very welcome, but today the Kong family was entertaining guests, how could Kong Tianyou be regarded as the master, I don't know if it had anything to do with him staying in the Xu family.
"I'll go back and tell Mr., it's just that the little master stays at Dr. Xu's house, will it disturb you." Kong Xueyi asked Yang Yun very politely, it was a bit rude for his little young master to come uninvited like this.
"It's too late for us to welcome, it's more crowded. Trouble Brother Xueyi to go back and tell Grandpa Kong, and when Tianyou finishes eating, we will send him back. "Yang Yun knows that children all think that other people's food is more fragrant, but tonight Yang Xuan said several times, it's a pity that Brother Tianyou can't come.
"Okay, then it's going to trouble Miss Yang." Kong Xueyi saw that Yang Yun had left Kong Tianyou behind, and he went back to Kong's house directly.
After Yang Yun saw Kong Xueyi leaving, she took Kong Tianyou's little hand and went to Grandma Xu's house to eat. (To be continued.) )
