Chapter 17 Usage of Glutinous Rice

When it was almost dark, the brother-in-law of the Shen family finally came, and the brother-in-law Zhao Baolai was also a simple villager, very simple, Shen Cuilian was lazy and lazy on weekdays, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother-in-law, you're here, let's have dinner first before leaving!" Father Shen said.

Zhao Baolai's face was bitter, life has to pass, not to mention that the second uncle has already gone to find him, and he has to take people back.

Shen Cuilian came out of the room, her eyes were still swollen, she was scolded like that by the Liang family during the day, she definitely didn't want to stay here anymore, but just going back like this, she was too faceless.

"You can pick it up if you want!" Shen Cuilian said this, so angry that Shen's father really didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to slap Shen Cuilian.

Zhao Baolai is really angry, when he saw Shen Cuilian like this, he turned his head and was about to leave, Shen Shiliu saw that this was going to make people go, and next time this person might be able to pick it up!

"Uncle, don't be angry, how can you leave without eating when you come from so far away!" Shen Shiliu stopped the person as he spoke, why can't he let his uncle go!

Zhao Baolai was also angry, he really didn't want to stay here anymore, and when he wanted to push Shen Shimei aside, he found that he didn't push it.

"Uncle sit down first!" Shen Shiliu said and pulled Zhao Baolai to sit down.

Zhao Baolai knew that this niece was fat, but now he had a feeling that he seemed to have been "kidnapped" by Shen Pomegranate! was pressed by Shen Shimei and sat on the chair, and the strength of his body was that there was no room for resistance!

Shen Shiliu forcibly left Zhao Baolai to eat, and Shen's father also hurriedly seized the opportunity to pull Shen Cuilian into the house to teach him a lesson.

"Do you want to be dismissed? Just what you did, and it's not in the 'three don't go out, do you want to live by yourself?' Father Shen scolded Shen Cuilian.

Shen Cuilian was really afraid of being suspended, so she could only be obedient in the end.

Outside, Zhao Baolai was sitting at the dinner table, and Shen Shimei was busy on the stove, so he casually made some small stir-fry and served it to the table.

Zhao Baolai sighed, he had to eat if he didn't eat here.

Shen Cuilian didn't dare to say anything when she came out of the room, after all, she still had a son, and she couldn't give up her son.

"Let's eat, you two will go back after eating." Father Shen said.

Liang looked at Zheng and smiled, and Zheng also blinked in response.

Shen Pomegranate and Shen Shu both ate their own food, and they were also depressed for a while.

After the meal, Zhao Baolai took Shen Cuilian back first, and there was still a baby at home, so he couldn't help but go back.

Before leaving, Shen Pomegranate took some of his own fried peanuts, saying that it was for his cousins to eat, and Zheng added some dried sweet potatoes dried at home, Zhao Baolai was embarrassed to eat them, but Shen Cuilian didn't care about it, anyway, it was her brother's family, so she took a lot of time and left.

"Alas, let's go!" Zheng wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, Father Shen was also helpless, this sister is really a bit unusual!

Shen Pomegranate went to the stove to look at the broth, and when he saw that the fire was almost ready, he put out the fire first.

Shen Shu took a few pieces of paper given to him by Du Xuanmo at night and reviewed, and Shen Shimei pondered how to make pastries.

Liang's eyes were not good, and he couldn't do anything at night, so he sat in the yard and took out last year's soybeans and stepped on them, removing the dry pods on the outside, leaving the soybeans inside.

"Mother, let's rest, what do you care about these soybeans!" Zheng said that his mother had to know that she was distressed.

"That's it, mother-in-law, we'll just come tomorrow!" Shen's father was also afraid that his mother-in-law would be tired and his daughter-in-law would work hard with him.

Liang smiled and said, "It's not in the way, I can't be idle!" ”

Zheng and Liang stepped on soybeans together, Shen's father sighed, and went to add some water to the pigsty and duck house, the weather had passed the hottest time, and the water dried too quickly.

"Don't be in a hurry to marry our pomegranate, such a good girl, I want to stay more, but don't worry, lose the lifelong happiness of our pomegranate!" Liang sighed and said, his own children are distressed, and Liang has also heard about the affairs of the Zhou family, so he is really a little worried about Shen Shimei's lifelong event.

Zheng nodded: "Mother, don't worry when you are old, the child's father also said that he will not marry the pomegranate casually, if you can't find a good family, we will raise her for a lifetime!" ”

Liang smiled and said: "How can I raise it for a lifetime, I see that the pomegranate is a lot thinner than when I came back, it would be nice to be thinner, the eighteenth change of the female university!" It's only thirteen, not busy! ”

Zheng was also very relieved to hear these words, and his mood was a lot better, his pomegranate was so good, he didn't believe that he couldn't find a good mother-in-law!

Shen Pomegranate didn't sleep very well all night, and his mind was thinking about how to make pastries, it was the Qiqiao Festival, after the Qiqiao Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, if it was done well, he could take it to the county seat to sell, and take the opportunity to make more money!

Early the next morning, Shen's father and Shen Shu packed up to go to the city, the Zheng family stayed at home to compensate the Liang family, and Shen Shiliu followed his father and brother into the city.

Shen Pomegranate did not follow to sell broth, but went to the grain store.

"Boss, I want three catties of glutinous rice!" Shen Shiliu said.

The boss came over to greet him and weighed three catties of glutinous rice, and Shen Shimei kept the glutinous rice and went home first.

Zheng saw that Shen Pomegranate came back with glutinous rice, and she didn't ask too much, Shen Pomegranate could toss it, she continued to talk to Liang.

Shen Pomegranate first picked rice and washed rice, then steamed the glutinous rice, and when it was cooked, it was cooled first, then sprinkled with some sugar, and then took the largest rolling pin in the house to knock it.

Zheng saw that Shen Shimei's movement was so big, so he came over and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Make a cake!" Shen Shimei said while beating, the steamed glutinous rice became strong after repeated beating, and she also tried it for the first time, and there was no guarantee that it would be cake or thin soup after beating!

Zheng saw that Shen Shiliu was tired of fighting alone, so he came over to help, and the two of them kept rolling the pin and opened the bow left and right, and Liang also felt fresh, so he came to watch.

Shen Pomegranate and Zheng fought for a while, then stopped first, took it and pinched it himself, and felt that the elasticity was almost there, and it was really good to be able to reach this level for the first time.

Shen Shimei took the flower bones of the osmanthus that he had picked up a few days ago, sprinkled them on the smashed dough, and continued to fight with Zheng.

After beating for a while, the osmanthus and the dough were evenly matched, Shen Shimei put the pot on the water side again, and then put the beaten dough into pieces and threw them into a cake with his hands.

"Tsk, our pomegranates are really good at getting them!" Liang said with a smile, just looking at Shen Pomegranate working is eye-catching!

Zheng smiled: "It's just a blind toss, and I don't know if the things made are delicious or not!" ”

Shen Shimei was not happy: "It's delicious, it's definitely delicious, when the time comes, I'll give my grandmother a taste first!" ”

Liang smiled, this family's small life is really good.

At noon, Shen's father came back first, and the osmanthus cake made by Shen Pomegranate also happened to be in the pot.

"Oops, it smells so good!" Father Shen's eyes widened, as soon as he entered the courtyard just now, he smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and this pot, the fragrance is even stronger!

Shen Shiliu smiled and used chopsticks to take out the finished osmanthus cake, and the family gathered around the table and looked at the plate of osmanthus cake in the middle, their eyes widened.

The osmanthus cake steamed with glutinous rice is not only fragrant, but also in good condition, with yellow osmanthus petals on it, which is gratifying to look at. The cakes look thick, and they are soft when you poke them with your hands.

"Oh yo, I've lived for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful pastry!" Liang said in surprise, I'm afraid that even the pastry shop in the county town can't do this!

Shen Pomegranate picked up one with chopsticks and handed it to Liang: "Grandma eat one first, be careful of scalding!" ”

Liang took it with a smile, it was like eating ginseng fruit, and he blew it and put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up with this bite.

"Oops, it's soft and glutinous! It's sweet and not greasy, I've never eaten so good in my life! As soon as Liang's words came out, Shen's father and Zheng's couldn't wait, one of them took one, and after eating, they all said it was delicious!

Shen Pomegranate was happy and relieved.

"Great, when we wait for the Beggar's Day, let's go and set up a stall, and we will definitely make a lot of money!" As soon as Shen Pomegranate's words came out, the family was stunned again, and then praised Shen Pomegranate for being smart and capable!

Zheng said: "This cake is delicious, but the process is really tiring, today just beat three catties of glutinous rice, if you set up a stall, I don't know how much to beat!" ”

Father Shen hurriedly said, "It's okay, Da Shu and I can fight even if we don't sleep!" ”

Shen Shiliu didn't think it was so exaggerated, and said with a smile: "Today, my mother and I use a rolling pin to make it, and if it's not easy, it's slow, and tomorrow I will use a mallet directly, and it is estimated that it will be much faster!" "She is not going to be idle these days, this is just a kind of pastry, if you sell it, it is estimated that it will not sell quickly, tomorrow she will continue to research, at least three or four things to sell!

In the afternoon, Shen Pomegranate steamed the rest of the dough, and the people in the same village who had a smart nose came over to smell it, and Shen Pomegranate became more and more confident in his small business!

At night, Zheng and Shen's father lay on the bed, they couldn't hide their smiles, although Shen Pomegranate couldn't work in the fields, but he was too good at making money, and if it went on like this, it was only a matter of time before the family built a big house.

Shen Pomegranate went to the county seat again the next day, and this time sold some glutinous rice, red beans and mung beans, and came back to continue his research.

In the evening, the family gathered around the table again to watch Shen Shimei's latest research results.

The red beans are steamed and pounded into a bean paste, some of which are left to mix with sugar for filling, and some of which are dried and smeared on the outside of glutinous rice to make powder. It's the same with mung beans.

"It's red bean cake and mung bean cake!" After Shen Shiliu finished speaking, he served another plate.

The glutinous rice is rolled into a thin layer, and then the soybeans are steamed and mashed to dry into powder, and the glutinous rice is wrapped in soybean flour outside, and then cut into dough rolls, which also looks very good.

"What about this?" Shen Shu asked, pointing to the remaining plate.

"It's peanut sesame cake!" Shen Shimei said that the peanuts are also cooked and mashed into a puree, and then fried with oil with sesame seeds in the oil pot, and then put sugar in a pot of sticky paste, and then use glutinous rice to wrap it in the pot and steam, and the number of roads is about the same.

Shen's father and Zheng's eyes lit up when they looked at a few plates of pastries on the table, one picked up one and began to eat, Shen Shu also ate, Liang was not lagging behind at this time, Shen Pomegranate was waiting for the evaluation of the four.

"It's so delicious, this peanut sesame cake is really fragrant!" Liang said, the other three also couldn't stop nodding, this pastry is really good, the pastries on weekdays are fried in an oil pan or baked in an earthen oven, how can they eat so soft?

Shen Shimei smirked, it seems that his research is really good!

After discussion with the whole family, it was decided to rent a stall in the market during the begging festival, and such delicious pastries must be sold!
