Chapter 12: Pea Yellow
"Ning Laosan, if you have money, you didn't agree! Why did your mother give the field to Ning Laoer? ”
Old man Zhao was a little anxious, took a step forward, and asked angrily.
Ning Laosan can't scold his own mother, and he can't scold Old Man Zhao.
After glancing up and down at Old Man Zhao for a few times, he rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"The fourth child agrees or not, it is our mother's own son, our own brother, the most important thing is that although the Ning family is indeed separated, but if there is anything important, my mother still has the final say. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether he agrees or not, the important thing is that the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders! ”
Old man Zhao covered his heart angrily, pointing at Ning Laosan who was speechless.
Hearing Ning Laosan's words, and seeing the future father-in-law looking like he was about to die, Ning Youcai was suddenly a little unhappy.
"Third brother, I don't like to hear what you say, what's wrong? Could it be that after I leave a family, I can't even manage my own fields? ”
"Don't yell at me, you have the ability, go home and yell at your mother. Also, you have to remember that you are now a daughter-in-law, not like your father. ”
After speaking, Ning Laosan glanced meaningfully at Old Man Zhao and Ma, who had changed their faces, and then turned around and left.
For the old man of the Zhao family to calculate the fourth child like this, Ning Laosan doesn't like to see him at all.
Even if he looks at his family's face, it will be the fourth child who will be unlucky anyway, and it has nothing to do with him.
Ning Youcai was also blocked by Ning Laosan's words, and he couldn't say half a sentence to refute it.
Now seeing that Ning Laosan actually turned around and left like this, Ning Youcai suddenly became a little anxious.
After saying a word to Old Man Zhao and Ma's family, he hurriedly ran home, and even Zhao Juan, his fiancée, was left behind by him!
"I'll just say, this Ning Laosi is not planted, what good can Juanzi marry him in the future?"
Old man Zhao coughed angrily, pointed in the direction of Ning Youcai's figure, and complained to his mother-in-law angrily.
Ma Shi thought differently from Old Man Zhao, if Mrs. Ning could really correct her youngest son this time, it would not be a good thing for her daughter.
In fact, the reason why Ning Youcai is so lazy is because Mrs. Ning spoils her little son too much.
Anyway, the sky is falling, and his three brothers and his mother are on top of him, so he naturally doesn't have to work hard.
When Ning Youcai hurried home, he saw that Boss Ning had already taken the Liu family back to the town.
Ning Lao Er went to the field again, after all, he is the one who has the most land in the family now, and he has to serve the land well!
Ning Laosan was reluctant to take out that bit of food, so naturally he had no choice, so he went to the ground with Ning Laosan.
Now in the family, there are only two sisters-in-law and three sisters-in-law, as well as their mother-in-law and younger sister.
"Mother, why did you give my land to my second brother?"
Ning Youcai saw that Mrs. Ning didn't know what she was sorting out, and there was a stack of wooden boxes in the shape of long strips, which looked quite new.
What Ning Pengpeng fiddled with in his hand was the mold sent by Wang Dashan.
I didn't expect the other party's craftsmanship to be very good, although the words engraved inside are upright, but they are very clear.
Although Wang Dashan sent six molds, it was enough for the beans she soaked today.
"What, if you don't plant it for your second brother, will you be able to plant it?"
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the mold, Ning Peng looked back at his youngest son without raising his head.
Ning Youcai choked, he naturally didn't want to go to the ground, but didn't he have his future father-in-law's family to help!
Of course, in his mind, the most important thing is that his future father-in-law will help him farm the land, and he doesn't have to produce food.
It's just that this is easy to say and not good, so Ning Youcai stood beside Ning Pengpeng for a long time, and he didn't say why.
Ning Pengpeng didn't have time to take care of him, so he first removed the top layer of floating skin from the soaked peas, only poured the pea meat into the pot with water, and then boiled over high heat.
Cook until the water is about to receive, and the peas are already soft and rotten, so take the opportunity to quickly scoop up the boiled peas and put them in a basin.
Then add brown sugar water, beat it with a rolling pin, then pour the pea puree back into the pot, stir-fry it over low heat, only fry the pea puree until it is thick, and then it can be put into the mold coated with a layer of oil.
Use a wooden shovel to compact the pea puree in the mold, scrape the excess pea puree on the side, and then put the mold full of pea puree in a basket and hang it under the well.
When this pea puree is formed, after pouring it out of the mold, it is the famous sweet snack pea yellow.
In fact, this pea yellow was originally supposed to be filled with sugar.
But in Mrs. Ning's memory, she had never heard of any white sugar, even if it was brown sugar, it was a rare good thing at the moment.
Usually, whoever gives birth to a child, is sick, or gives gifts during the New Year, they will basically give this brown sugar.
Just the brown sugar that Ning Peng put in the pea puree just now was the brown sugar water after she found the finest sieve in the house and carefully sifted it, and then took a layer of gauze.
It's just because the current brown sugar is not only rough, but there are also impurities in it, which really makes Ning Pengpeng a little unacceptable.
Also, now that it's hot, there is no ice, and this pea puree has to be placed at the bottom of the well if it wants to take shape for a while.
Fortunately, this ancient deep well is warm in winter and cool in summer, and now the well water below is very cool, not much warmer than in a modern refrigerator.
Then put the soaked red beans into the pot and boil them softly, then remove the outer layer of skin, and then continue to cook, stir slowly, stir until the sand boils, and then pour in the remaining brown sugar water just now and continue to stir, boil until viscous, after the spatula is scooped up and tilted, it falls down into a line, and then it is put aside.
When Ning Youcai was doing these things in Ning Pengpeng, he followed him to the east and west.
In the end, Ning Pengpeng was impatient, and directly threw away two catties of glutinous rice, and asked him to grind the glutinous rice into flour with a hand-pushed mill at home, so as not to dangle it and hinder her eyes.
Therefore, by the time Ning Peng Peng cooked the red bean paste, Ning Youcai had already ground the glutinous rice into wet powder.
Ning Pengpeng stepped forward and twisted it, and was very satisfied with the fineness of the mill.
However, he still carefully sifted it again with a fine sieve, and there were still some large ones that had not been crushed, so that Ning Youcai continued to grind.
She put the rice noodles sieved out in a basin, and then took out the pea yellow that had been placed in the well water before, turned the mold over and knocked it gently, and the square pea yellow came out with the word Fu Lu Shou on it.
This pea yellow is not sticky or crispy, because the skin is removed, so there will be a feeling of imminent melting.
In addition, because of the sugar added to it, it is as delicate as silky and sweet as honey, and with the fragrance in the peas, it makes people have an endless aftertaste.
Ning Pengpeng tasted a piece carefully, and nodded reluctantly, this is the first time I have done it, it is still qualified!
