Chapter 39: Jujube Cake

Gu Er made two large pots of noodles at noon, but there was no way, there were too many people, and one pot was not enough. Even these two cauldrons were drunk, and there was nothing left left.

When Aunt Wang came over and told Gu'er that everyone was satisfied with the meal, she was rubbing her arm.

Rolling noodles was not a trivial task, her wrists hurt a little, and her arms were a little sore.

"Gu'er, but I'm tired of you, and my aunt didn't expect rolling dough to be so tiring."

Aunt Wang was a little reluctant to go.

"It's okay aunt, young people shouldn't be tired."

Gu Er smiled and said that she didn't care, she had to work with other people's money.

"Gu'er is a diligent person, and she has to steam jujube cakes this afternoon, do you think you should steam the big jujube cakes first or the small ones first?"

Aunt Wang asked Gu'er, and she said to Gu'er that she would make noodles at noon, and then steam jujube cakes in the afternoon, and the jujube cakes would be steamed in two days, one day for the big ones and one day for the small ones.

"Let's steam the big one first, and steam the small one tomorrow."

Gu'er had already thought about it, so as soon as Aunt Wang asked, she answered.

"Okay, then Gu'er, do you think you need me to help you get something?"

Aunt Wang listened to Gu'er.

"No need aunt, everything is here, I'll make it myself, you go and rest, I'll steam it for you."

Gu Er shook her head, she had seen it when she came, the steamed jujube cake was complete, and it should be that the people in the Guan told her what she bought.

"Okay, the aunt will go out, you can get busy."

Aunt Wang just said politely, and went out after speaking.

Gu'er began to make jujube cakes.

This noodle was reconciled and put over there before she made the noodles, because the weather was warm and it started quickly.

Gu Er kept kneading to expel the foaming gas from the noodles.

When it was ready, she rolled out a large round cake.

The round cake is large, larger than the lid of the pot commonly used at home.

She placed the round cake on the cage drawer covered with a cloth and began to shape it.

The dough cutter is kneaded into long strips, the long strips are rolled out and folded in half, and the jujube rolls are cut off and placed on the flatbread.

Gu'er is doing it one by one, swinging, it looks like a peacock's tail on a flatbread, it is very beautiful, but the peacock's tail is green, and this one is white and red.

She arranged them in a circle in turn, leaving a finger gap in the middle of each one, because when steamed, it would swell, and if there was no place, it would be crowded together, and it would be ugly.

The blank part in the middle was stuffed with red dates, and then a rolled pancake was covered with red dates.

After the pancake was covered, Gu'er continued to roll out the slices, and then folded them in half, this time she was going to make flowers.

The flowers are five-petaled, and when they are done, she holds them in the middle and tries to clip them out of the shape, and she uses chopsticks to modify them in the unruly places.

After repairing, she used a knife to cut the petals, so that the petals looked like they were layered on top of each other, which was very beautiful.

She put the flowers on the small cake in the middle, and filled them with red dates one by one, and decorated them well.

After steaming for about fifteen minutes, Gu'er turned the fire down and steamed for another five minutes, she withdrew the fire, and after about three minutes, Gu'er opened the lid of the pot.

A sweet aroma of noodles and red dates came to the nose, causing people to twitch their noses constantly.

The shape is good, Gu Er smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time felt a gurgling in her stomach, and she wanted to eat it herself.

She ate a bowl of noodles at noon, and although it tasted good, she was still hungry.

"I'm smelling the fragrance at the door, is this steamed?"

Aunt Wang came in at this time.

"It's steamed, let's take a look."

Gu Er picked up the cage drawer and put the jujube cake on the board.

"Hey, this is Nier's steamed jujube cake? It's weird and good-looking, Nier really uses it. ”

Aunt Cheng also followed, looking at the jujube cake on the board, her eyes lit up, and she praised Gu'er.

She can also steam this jujube cake, but she can't be as young as Gu'er, so she thinks Gu'er is still quite capable.

"It's really beautiful, such a big jujube cake, and there are flowers in the middle."

Aunt Wang also admired that it was the first time she had seen jujube cakes.

Gu Er only smiled, this is not big, it is not that it is much bigger than this, and besides, this jujube cake is actually very simple, and there are many more complex than this, but she didn't choose those, one is troublesome, and the other is unnecessary.

"Her aunt, do you think this steamed jujube cake is okay? Can your mother's family get along? ”

Although Aunt Wang was very admirable, she still asked Aunt Cheng, after all, she was useless in her image, and she had to nod her daughter-in-law's family.

Aunt Cheng looked at the jujube cake, and then looked at the grain.

To be honest, there are no rules for steaming jujube cakes here, and in fact, they don't really want Aunt Wang to steam jujube cakes.

Why?

That's to embarrass the mother-in-law's family, so that the mother-in-law's family will not look down on the daughter, and let the mother-in-law's family know that the girl also has her mother's back.

When the time comes, it will be like that, and they will not be able to marry their daughters.

But in that case, the mother-in-law's family will remember that they did not complete what their mother's family asked them to do, and they will always feel indebted to their daughter, so that they can't bully their daughters for the rest of their lives, and their purpose is to make their daughters feel better in their mother-in-law's house.

But now Aunt Wang has hired someone to make noodles and steamed jujube cakes, what does this mean?

Explain why the in-laws value them? It shows that the in-laws value their daughters, so they value them like this.

The mother-in-law's family values it so much, and they will definitely not be bad for their daughters in the future, so they discussed it in the house before, as long as the jujube cake is not particularly ugly, they will definitely say that they will not deliberately embarrass the mother-in-law's family.

But the jujube cake is placed in the house at the time of marriage, and it is for people to see, not for people to eat, so if it is really ugly, it is not good, I am afraid of people laughing.

Aunt Cheng thought about the time when she came to see it, if it was really ugly, they would eat it for dinner, and then she would teach Gu'er to re-steam, and the mother-in-law would give face, and their mother-in-law couldn't go too far.

But what she didn't expect was that Gu'er steamed quite well, even better than her, and she really couldn't find fault with it.

"Why don't you hit, you can't win, this Nier is really capable, it's so good."

Aunt Cheng nodded, praised Gu'er, and agreed.

"That's fine."

Aunt Wang was very happy to hear this.

"Gu'er, you quickly put this jujube cake on the table, and cut it well when it's cold."

Aunt Wang shouted Gu'er, her voice was very excited, and only now did she feel that she had the bottom of her heart and invited the right person.

Before Gu Er could speak, Aunt Cheng shouted: "Hey, that can't be cut, this jujube cake was placed in the hall on the wedding day, the big one is placed in the middle, and the nine small ones are placed next to it for people to see, how can it be cut?" You tell you that the small one of the jujube cakes can be divided, but the big ones are not medium, and they have to be offered, at least for a year. We have a maximum of three years, and when I am a flower, your daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, I will not provide it. ”
