Xiao Xiucai looked through the autumn water outside the Huang family's door, and he couldn't wait to burn a hole in the wall of the Huang family's courtyard with his eyes, so he could go in and complain to Miss Huang.

He didn't know that a cook in the Huang family had turned him upside down, and he was only worried that Miss Huang didn't recognize him and didn't know his future, but now Miss Huang didn't even know how long his mother would have to give birth.

Miss Huang also knew that most of the lady in Xiucai's belly was a big fat boy.

So, two days ago, Miss Huang saw Xiao Xiucai and was willing to give him a smile, but in the past two days, her pretty face was like a sculpture of ice and snow, and she didn't even give her an eye, just didn't see him.

Miss Huang was hot and cold, Xiao Xiucai was confused, her heart was hooked, and she was still waiting outside Huang's house every day, so that Miss Huang could see her sincerity.

After a long time, Miss Huang felt that this person was a little infatuated: none of the people outside her house who pretended to be passing, encountered, stupid, etc., escaped her eyes, and she only needed to glance at a glance to know how many times those men had come and how their family was going.

Many people came once and then stopped coming, talking about the beauty they had seen of Miss Huang, and eating drunk and bragging about the same people. This kind of idler is the most annoying, if it weren't for the small number of people in the family, Miss Huang would be eager to ask someone to take a big stick away.

There are also some people who come back every few days, such as a thin monkey-like person, Miss Yuan Huang hasn't seen anything wrong with him, but thinks he looks ugly: thin like a monkey, and has a big face plate.

He was walking outside Huang's house that day, and suddenly there was movement in the field of Song's house, and the man jumped up in shock and walked away quickly, and then Miss Huang saw that he was limping, and he was a lame.

Hugh said that he was all bearded and full tail, and that dignity couldn't get into Miss Huang's eyes, let alone a lame leg?

There is another level, that is, Xiao Xiucai Liu Rulong, a person who is a little capable and very infatuated, such a person is the least, Miss Huang is willing to give them a little bit of eye-catching, so that they feel that they have hope to become the son-in-law of the Huang family, and they become more and more infatuated.

Miss Huang thought these people were funny, and when she saw her, she was like a toad seeing swan meat, and she didn't look in a mirror to look at herself, so she became delusional in her family.

But after thinking about it, Miss Huang is not unproud, there are so many people who are fascinated by herself, which makes her very happy.

Xiao Xiucai, Song Haojie and others are hanging outside the Huang family every day, and Song Haonian's house is not far away, how can they not see it?

Song Haojie ran faster than a rabbit when he saw Song Haonian, but Xiao Xiucai was different, firstly, he was not as alert as Song Haojie, and secondly, he was a little more confident, so he was caught by Song Haonian several times.

Song Haonian knew what Xiao Xiucai's idea was, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he only secretly warned him: "Xiuxiu is about to be born?" Looking back, it had no effect, Xiao Xiucai was still attached to Miss Huang, and couldn't help but sigh a few words to Lily. Lily said: "Miss Huang is good-looking, it is common for young people who are not married to want to marry her, what is the excitement of Xiaoxiu?

The door is certain. Even if Mrs. Huang is not sick, who can forbid Miss Huang to go out?"

In the final analysis, it is the wishful thinking of these men, Miss Huang is just good-looking, and she has never asked them to stay at the door of her house every day, who can bear to blame Miss Huang?

Song Haonian had no choice but to say: "When Xiuxiu gives birth to a child, Xiaoxiu will definitely pay attention." ”

Even he didn't believe it, but he was relieved, and sure enough, Lily looked at him with a smile and turned the topic elsewhere: "Did you do the wooden trough you ordered before?"

A few days ago, Lily asked Song Haonian to go to Liu Sanping to order a wooden trough, and asked for a whole piece of wood to be dug up, strong and smashable, and equipped with a wooden mallet weighing four or five kilograms.

Song Haonian went to Liu Sanping's house, carried back a wooden trough nearly two feet wide and five feet long, and said to Lily: "Can't you use the trough for beating rice cakes?"

The lily branch asked him to fetch water, squatted down and scrubbed the wooden trough carefully, and he must wash off all the stubble before he could rest assured, and said in his mouth: "The rice cake should be turned over while beating, and a few people are not enough, if this trough, the two of us can make it." ”

Wipe the wooden trough and dry, Lily goes to the cellar to pick a basket of potatoes. This year's new potatoes are big and have a lot of noodles, she picked more than a dozen, and it sank too much, or Song Haonian smiled and carried the basket to the ground, and hugged his daughter-in-law again.

"Daughter-in-law, you don't have a bag of rice weighing miles. Song Haonian could hold Lily with one arm and pick it up, hated Lily grinding his teeth, looked at it for a while, was reluctant to bite elsewhere, and bit on his earlobe, Song Haonian laughed while crying and pretending to be in pain.

Rinse the potatoes, put them in a large iron pot, fill them with water more than one finger of the potatoes, cover them and cook over high heat. After boiling for two quarters of an hour, open the lid to see, and if you see the skin of the potato open, poke it with chopsticks, and cook it for another quarter of an hour if you feel that it is still hard.

Finally, the potatoes are cooked thoroughly, and the skin cracks, revealing the white flesh inside. Lily hurriedly peeled them one by one and put them in a wooden basin beside her.

After the potatoes are fully cooked, you can tear off a large piece of skin with a touch of your hand, and Lily will find a clean piece of wood and pinch it between her fingers, and peel it with the wood chips, so that the skin will not stick to your fingers.

Beat the rice cake while the glutinous rice is hot, but wait until the potato is cold, and Lily takes a puff fan to fan the steaming potatoes to prevent insects from flying up and getting dirty.

When all the potatoes are cold, first pick two of them and put them in the wooden trough, press them into mashed potatoes with a wooden mallet, roll them back and forth in the wooden trough, beat and flip, and the mashed potatoes will stick a lot of dirty things.

Repeatedly, until nothing is dirty, the rest of the potatoes are poured in, mashed with a wooden hammer, and then pounded from the edges to the mashed potatoes. At this time, the good of the wooden trough is revealed: the mashed potatoes are piled up at one end, and the person stands at the empty end, pounds the mashed potatoes to himself, beats them again in another direction, beats them twice and then shovels the mashed potatoes on the edge with a shovel and throws them in the middle. Not really

It takes the cooperation of several people to pound rice cakes, and no one can be slower than a bit.

The mallet weighs four or five pounds, and the lily can't be smashed after dozens of strokes, but Song Haonian can smash it hundreds of times without stopping, and he can't even wear a jacket, and he sweats when he takes off his jacket and only wears a single shirt.

The potatoes are first crushed into a puree, and then become smooth and sticky in the constant beating, and the texture is very similar to that of rice cakes. Lily squatted on the edge of the wooden trough and shoveled out a small piece with a shovel, pulled out the old silk, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and said with a smile: "It's done, you can eat it if you scrape it out." ”

There are several ways to eat potato glutinous rice dumplings, and the two most common ones are cold and hot. As early as Song Haonian, when the rice dumplings were made, Lily boiled a pot of pulp soup, fried the slurry water with lard, added water to boil, added chopped green onions and chili shreds, and put a little pepper noodles and a little salt.

She scraped another potato, rubbed it into very fine shreds, and when it was boiled in hot water, it was crispy and raw shredded potatoes.

Dip the shovel in cold water, first scoop out a piece of potato glutinous cake, put it in a bowl, pour autumn oil, vinegar, oil spicy seeds and oil and garlic on top, sprinkle a few grains of salt, and hand it to Song Haonian: "Taste it." ”

Song Haonian took the chopsticks and clamped them, they were soft and tough, and they tore off a piece to dip some sauce into their mouths, first the aroma of chili pepper and garlic, then the aroma of potatoes, and then the two flavors were mixed together, and they were extremely chewy, he couldn't help laughing: "It's delicious, it's not in vain that I have been smashing it for so long." ”

"You've worked hard. Lily smiled and made herself a bowl of cold potato glutinous rice cakes.

Halfway through eating, she wanted to eat hot again, so she put a chopstick shredded potato in her bowl and poured some hot soup with syrup, which tasted different.

She took two bites and pushed it to Song Haonian: "You try this again." ”

Song Haonian picked up her bowl and ate it directly, "This taste is also good, sour and appetizing." ”

The two of them changed the bowl, and Lily took Song Haonian's bowl to scoop the soup for herself, and then took a shovel and shoveled two more pieces and boiled them into the syrup soup, saying, "Cook it to be softer and more flavorful." ”

At the end of eating, there was still a small half pot left, and Lily covered the wooden basin with a piece of gauze and said, "As long as it doesn't get salt and doesn't put it in a hot place, you can still eat it tomorrow." ”

Song Haonian couldn't help laughing: "Just one thing, you can make four or five ways to eat it." ”

"Is that right?" said Lily triumphantly, "and if you want to eat, there are few in this town that can compare to mine." ”

Early the next morning, Lily got up to heat the soup from last night, and saw that the potato glutinous rice in the pot had become dry and hard, and he could cut it into small slices directly with a knife. When you put the glutinous rice slices into the soup and boil them, they become soft and delicious again, and they have more flavor than the freshly beaten ones. She is delicious and cooked, first give Song Haonian a bowl, guard the stove by herself, and slowly cook the glutinous rice cake until it is thick and dripping, and the chopsticks can't be clamped, like porridge, you have to hold it

Drink from a bowl.

After adding garlic and chili peppers, the glutinous rice cake that is cooked quickly is like a bowl of hot and sour glutinous soup, and the lily is sweating all over, and it is accompanied by an egg corn tortilla with peanuts and walnuts added to it, the stomach is warm, and the whole person is refreshed.

Song Haonian also likes the taste of potato glutinous rice cakes, and says: "I eat this better than rice cakes." ”

Lily immediately climbed along the pole: "It's just troublesome to do, you have to love to eat, and smash a few more grooves back." "In the end, she is weaker, this thing has to be beaten out by a young man with a lot of strength as soon as possible to be delicious, and the trough that Song Haonian smashed yesterday tasted very good.

If you ask Lily to smash it herself, the glutinous rice cake that comes out can't be said to have unmilled mashed potatoes in it, not to mention smooth and tough, it is a problem to be able to form a ball.

Song Haonian said with a smile: "Since you love to eat, you can ask me to smash it every day." "He has a lot of strength, now the farm is idle, there are not many places to work, if he doesn't vent his strength, he has to toss his daughter-in-law at night, his daughter-in-law is delicate and weak, where can he stop him from tossing like that?
