Chapter Seventy-One: I made the moon flower sauce and bean paste

With a few taels of silver in his pocket, Gu Liuxi had no scruples when he bought things, and filled the back basket on Song Yu's back to the brim, and just when he couldn't stuff it anymore, Li Mu, who had bought a few books, also came over to help carry a lot.

There were too many things, so the three of them simply took the ox cart back, and as for Li An's kid, he didn't bother to care about him, he knew that the way home was done.

After returning home, it was already dark, Aunt Song was busy serving dinner to the three of them, Li Mu was in a hurry to go back to read his newly bought book after eating, and Gu Liuxi and Aunt Song soaked the red beans, mung beans, white beans, etc. separately, and came to make bean paste tomorrow.

Song Yu took the pastries brought back from Shuili Lou to Aunt Song, and Aunt Song touched the rather delicate packaging, but she was reluctant to open it, and muttered: "They are all people who are going to enter the ground, how can you eat these good things, leave them to Liuxi to eat, just take a look at the old woman." ”

Gu Liuxi wiped his hands and walked out of the room, and said with a smile: "You can eat it, mother, I ate with Song Yu in the pear building." ”

Aunt Song was still reluctant, "How long can this last?" ”

"It won't last long, and if you can't finish it, it will spoil the day after tomorrow." Song Yu knew that Aunt Song was reluctant to eat it, and wanted to leave it for her grandson and eldest daughter-in-law who went out to seek medical treatment.

"So fast? The people in the town are really rich. Aunt Song opened the package while nagging, and saw the small pastries like flowers inside, and she was even more reluctant to eat them.

In the past, when Daddy Song was working hard, every time he came back, he would bring some novel and delicious food, but Aunt Song always left it for the children to eat, and she couldn't bear to eat even half a mouthful of her drool. Now that the child is taking it back to honor her, she also thinks about her grandson and two daughters-in-law first, and refuses to eat a little.

Gu Liuxi also came to persuade her, "You can eat, I will make you a better pastry tomorrow, and you will know when the time comes." ”

Aunt Song looked at her in surprise, "Can you even make these beautiful little flowers?" ”

"Of course you can, your daughter-in-law is amazing." Gu Liuxi naughtily hooked her neck, "And, mother, our life will get better and better in the future, you can rest assured, as long as you take care of your body and live a long life, you will have endless blessings in the future." ”

Aunt Song smiled and touched her arm, "Okay, my mother must live a long life, waiting to enjoy Qingfu." ”

After that, Aunt Song carefully packed the dim sum, took a plate to Li Mu, who was reading in the house, and took another plate to Father Song, who was hoeing grass outside the yard, and left another plate for Li An, and the rest will be eaten tomorrow.

Back in the room, Gu Liuxi collapsed on the bed without even taking off his shoes, calling out that he was so tired.

Song Yu walked over to help her take off her shoes, and said apologetically: "It's all my fault, since you married me, you haven't been able to rest properly." ”

Gu Liuxi looked at him, "Where?" I'm having a good time in this family, and I feel a sense of accomplishment by making money with my own hands, so don't say that anymore, I'm embarrassed. ”

It is not her credit to be able to earn so much silver, if it weren't for Song Yu and Li An and Li Mu, it would be difficult for her to move the pork home, not to mention other processes, she can't cut pork, she can't make lo-mei alone, and it is even more difficult to bring the braised meat to the town. Even if she went to Jiashan Tower, without the big man Song Yu, would Shopkeeper Wang reach a cooperation with her so easily?

No matter what era it is, a woman does business alone, without the help of a man, she will inevitably be bullied, with Song Yu by her side, she finally has something to rely on.

So if you really want to talk about it, none of them are indispensable, and no one can do anything alone.

And Song Yu is more grateful to Gu Liuxi because she has never spoken ill of his family as a family member, but trusts them and respects them, and will not take others seriously because she has earned more money.

He now feels more and more that Gu Liuxi is the god sent by God to save him, take him out of the sea of suffering, and redeem him both physically and mentally.

Gu Liuxi slowly closed his eyes and muttered, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep first, don't forget to apply the medicine." ”

"Okay,"

Song Yu sat on the edge of the bed, waiting until Gu Liuxi fell asleep before hesitating to reach out, his thumb gently rubbing over her eyebrows.

Gu Liuxi slept very sweetly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth always lingered. Song Yu saw her defenseless appearance, and a little warmth flowed through her heart.

The so-called years are quiet, but that's it.

Gu Liuxi got up early the next morning, the Li brothers had already dragged a cow back, in Jiashan Building, beef sells better than pork, but it is difficult to buy, Wang Shopkeeper repeatedly reminded that if there is beef, you must get some beef, and the business of the restaurant will be better.

The day before yesterday, several people had reached a consensus that they would send braised meat every day in the future, and if they couldn't sell out, they would reduce the amount of braised meat.

After marinating meat a few times at home, everyone basically knows the process, only the marinade needs to be boiled by Gu Liuxi, and the rest of the steps can be completed by Aunt Song and Song Yu.

The others were making braised pork in the yard, and Gu Liuxi was making bean paste in the house alone.

Several types of beans are soaked in cold water overnight, and the next day they already show signs of fluffiness. Gu Liuxi scooped up the beans, packed them in several gauze bags, put them in a pot and boiled them, and then went to the side to make the moon season flower sauce.

She picked these fresh moons on the way home, and she didn't plan to do them, but she couldn't help but pick a lot of them when she saw that the wild moons were blooming on the roadside and the aroma was attractive.

She first washed the moon season with water, then added a small amount of alum and white sugar, then kneaded vigorously to make the sugar petals fuse, and finally put it in another small pot and slowly boiled until it was completely melted, and then added honey and stirred well.

In this way, the Yueji sauce is ready, this sauce can be used to dip steamed buns and dip cakes, or mixed with water to drink, can nourish yin and yang, reduce swelling and detoxify. When the osmanthus flowers bloom in late summer and early autumn, Gu Liuxi still wants to make some osmanthus sauce, which can be stored for a long time and can be eaten at any time.

After the beans were boiled soft, Gu Liuxi put the beans into gauze and squeezed them into a puree, scooped a spoonful of lard and three spoons of sugar into the pot and stir-fried, and then put the bean paste into the pot and stir-fried until the sugar and oil were completely fused with the bean paste, and the bean paste was ready.

Gu Liuxi first made red bean paste, which has the effect of removing fever and poisoning and dispersing bad blood, suitable for all ages, if the lower abdomen is distended and painful and urinating is not good, eating more red bean paste can diuresis and reduce swelling.

Gu Liuxi tasted a little, the taste was good, the taste was sweet and delicate, but he always felt that something was missing. She looked around, took the freshly made Yueji sauce and stirred red bean paste together, and the taste immediately improved a lot, not only the rich aroma of the unique Yueji, but also the delicate sweetness of the bean paste, the two are mixed, the taste is sweet and unique, the color is gorgeous and attractive, and the filling used to make dim sum is very suitable.
