Chapter 0028 - Someone Helps
Making rice cakes is different from making mochi, and the rice cake powder comes out of the rice mortar, and it has to be kneaded on a wooden board and kneaded into one by one.
The Bai family does not have this kind of special plank, but the village does have it, but they are not necessarily willing to borrow it, and they are too lazy to borrow it.
"Go quickly, move out the bed board and the two benches of the third child, and wash them quickly."
The second brother had seen the rice cake maker, and knew what the eldest brother meant, so he led the third, fourth, and fifth children to run to the house quickly.
After a lot of scrambling, I finally moved the bed board out and set it up, and the third, fourth, and fifth children hurriedly scrubbed the bed board clean.
The first basket of rice cake noodles has been out of the pot, and the second cage of rice cake noodles is poured into the steamer with white hands, and then to the edge of the rice mortar, picking up a hammer and pounding the hot rice cake noodles.
The second brother came over as a helper, one pounded and the other moved, and the brothers cooperated tacitly.
After the rice cake flour is cooked, it will become hard if it is delayed for too long, so it must be kneaded and formed quickly.
Rice cake balls are carried from the rice mortar to the bed board with white hands.
At this time, there must be a large number of people, and the kneading and forming work must be completed before the rice cake dough has cooled.
The white hand first demonstrates, holding a kitchen knife, pressing the rice cake dough and cutting off a piece, taking a posture, moving both hands in unison, kneading and pressing it left and right.
After all, Bai Dang is a little older and can get started quickly.
On the other hand, the third, fourth, and fifth are not only funny, but also simply making trouble and sabotage.
Rice cakes are made of japonica rice, and only when they are kneaded tightly will they taste fragrant.
A cage of rice cake flour is about 40 catties, which can make 40 rice cakes, and an adult kneades and presses the rice cakes, and the fastest rice cake takes one or two minutes.
White hands can knead a rice cake in one or two minutes, but the second brother needs more than three minutes, and the third, fourth, and fifth can't count on it.
The white hand hurriedly shouted at his mother, "Mom, try to burn as slowly as you can." ”
Mother said, "Hand, Mom knows." Don't worry, I'm waiting for you with a ceasefire. ”
After the first basket of rice cakes was made, the two brothers were tired of being white.
The people in the village make rice cakes, all of them are made by three or five families, you help me and I help you, and I dare to do it alone from scratch.
It's okay to say, the Bai family didn't make rice cakes before, they all took rice to the street to change a few to eat, and in the best year, the whole family only changed more than 30 rice cakes.
Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, the truth is this, but the white hands are too self-sufficient.
Bai Dang directly collapsed on the ground, "Big, big brother, I, I can't do it." ”
The third, fourth, and fifth also shouted tired.
Sitting on the ground with white hands, he looked in the direction of the courtyard gate, and immediately smiled: "When, our reinforcements have arrived." ”
At the gate of the courtyard, there were two women, Chen Cuihua and Fang Yulan, as well as Chen Cuihua's son Chen Xiaoxuan and two daughters, and Fang Yulan's baby daughter.
Guo Cai'e hurriedly greeted.
Chen Cuihua and Fang Yulan are both good at work, and Chen Xiaoxuan can also help.
With reinforcements, the second cage of rice cake noodles was quickly completed, and the third cage of rice cake noodles was already steaming.
There are two more women, and they don't feel tired from working, but have more laughter.
Of course, white-handed is not stupid, Chen Cuihua can take the initiative to help because she also needs the help of the white-handed family.
Sure enough, Chen Cuihua smiled and said, "Brother with white hands, my family hasn't made rice cakes yet." ”
pretending to be confused with white hands, he deliberately asked: "Aunt Cuihua, what do you mean?" ”
Chen Cuihua giggled and said to Guo Cai'e: "it, your hand is broken, you know what I mean, but you still have to pretend to be stupid." ”
Guo Cai'e smiled and said, "Hand, your Aunt Cuihua's japonica rice and glutinous rice are also soaked, and I want to transport it here and put it here to make it." ”
The white hand smiled and said, "Aunt Cuihua, you and Xiao Shuan have already helped me, what else can I say." ”
"That's pretty much it." Chen Cuihua shouted excitedly: "Little bolt, Bai Dang, pull on the cart and go to our house to transport rice." ”
Chen Cuihua led Bai Dang and Chen Xiaozhuan to pull the cart.
Since there is a next family, I decided to let my mother turn off the fire and eat lunch before doing it.
The Bai family has a total of six cages of rice cakes, four of which have been made, and there are still two cages left.
Guo Cai'e was very happy, after she got married, the Bai family's courtyard was so lively for the first time, and it was the first time to help each other.
The white hands were moving the finished rice cakes to the hall house, and on the dirt floor of the hall house, a few straw mats were spread. The finished rice cakes should be placed on straw mats to dry for three to five days, and then they can be immersed in a water tank and soaked in water before they can be eaten until the beginning of spring next year.
Fang Yulan has been busy, helping to move the rice cakes to the hall floor with her white hands.
The white hand finally seized the opportunity to talk to Fang Yulan, "Auntie, no, sister, why are you here?" ”
"I'm here to help."
The white hand smiled, "Does my Uncle Jiuyang know?" ”
"He wants to know, will he let me come?"
The white hand was confused, "You come to help, will he not know?" ”
"He is not at home, and he will not be able to return home until the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve."
"Hey, what did Uncle Jiuyang do?"
Fang Yulan smiled and said, "My brother contracted a sand field to dig sand by the sea. Recently, I received a big order, and I couldn't be busy, so I asked Uncle Jiuyang to help. Two dollars a day, your Uncle Jiuyang is doing a good job. ”
It turned out to be the case, and Bai Shou immediately thought that Fang Yulan's family must not have made rice cakes yet, "Sister, are your rice cakes ready?" ”
Fang Yulan shook her head, a little embarrassed.
"Sister, let's ship it to my house too."
"Is this convenient?"
"What's convenient or inconvenient, it's decided."
With no hands, he ran to talk to his mother.
Guo Cai'e said to Fang Yulan: "Sister, that dare is good." Hand, you will go later, and help your aunt bring the rice over. ”
While responding with white hands, I thought to myself, my mother is called sister, I am called sister, this is a bit messy.
After Chen Cuihua's rice was transported, she asked Chen Cuihua to grind the powder first, pulled the cart herself, and followed Fang Yulan to Tong's house.
When many people in the village saw this scene, they began to talk again, but they didn't dare to speak up.
The white hand is not afraid, but he is afraid that Fang Yulan will not be able to hang it on his face.
"Sister, what do they say about you?"
Fang Yulan smiled, shook her long hair, and simply sat on the cart.
"Xiaobai, I'm not afraid, as long as you're not afraid of your Uncle Jiuyang beating you."
"Hehe, I'm not afraid, since you taught martial arts, Uncle Jiuyang will definitely not be able to beat me."
"Stinky boy, teaching you martial arts is for your self-defense."
"Then I don't care, if Uncle Jiuyang wants to beat me, I will definitely beat him."
"You dare." Fang Yulan smiled.
When I arrived at Tong's house, I went into the house to move rice, and the rice was soaked in the water tank, so I had to pour water first and bring Mizawa out.
Helping Fang Yulan, the white hand is very energetic, and it is also very hard, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made in the busy.
The side of the water tank is also muddy, wet and slippery, holding a dustpan in your white hand, and when you go out to wash rice, it is inevitable that your feet will be unstable.
As soon as he poured a dustpan of rice into the basket, his white hand was so strong that his feet slipped and his body fell backwards......
Behind him was Fang Yulan, impartially, and his white hand happened to fall on Fang Yulan's body.
