Chapter 26: Mung Bean Cake

When You Li was just born, Grandma Shen also came to the hospital to see Youli at that time, and You Li was small at that time, and eight or nine years have passed in a blink of an eye. Grandma Shen lovingly touched You Li's head and said, "I didn't expect my pear to grow into a big girl, it's grandma who is old." ”

She hugged Grandma Shen's waist and replied with peace of mind in her arms: "Grandma is not old, be obedient and go for a physical examination with me next week, so that godfather can rest assured." ”

"Okay, listen to you, do you want to eat mung bean cake? Grandma can do it for you. Grandma Shen asked gently.

"Mung bean cake, okay!" As soon as she heard what she was eating, You Li's eyes lit up.

Grandma Shen took out the mung beans she carried from her hometown, "This mung bean is grown by herself, but it's okay, you can eat it with confidence." ”

She first peeled the mung beans and poured them into water to soak for five hours, "Pears and pears, you can eat them at night, let the mung beans soak in the pot first." After eating lunch, Grandma Shen couldn't wait to drain the soaked mung beans and put them in a pot to steam for 20 minutes, and then she crushed the steamed mung beans with strong strength, added the butter that had melted in advance, and stirred the two evenly.

Then pour the milled mung bean puree into the pot, add honey, powdered sugar and salt, stir-fry over low heat until the mung bean puree can form a ball, then turn off the heat.

"Lili, when this mung bean puree is cold, we can do what we want!"

After that, Grandma Shen first kneaded the mung bean puree into small balls of uniform size, and Lan Jiali found cute molds of different sizes from the cabinet, and said with a smile: "Mom, you and Lili use this." ”

You Li chose the pear pattern, pressed it against the small dough that had been kneaded, Lan Jiali was about to move as she watched from the sidelines, and said, "I also want to join you and make room for me." ”

Shen Yanzhi, who was out of class after self-study in the evening, went home just in time for the first wave of mung bean cakes, "Brother Yanyan, you are back from school, come and try the mung bean cakes I made." You Li shouted excitedly.

Shen Yanzhi changed his slippers, said hello to Grandma Shen and Lan Jiali first, and then took the "pear" shaped mung bean cake in the tray and stuffed it into his mouth, and instantly the faint milky fragrance spread in his mouth, and some mung bean cakes bought outside would be sweet, but this was not just right.

"How do you know I did this?" Yuri asked in surprise.

"Because I'm smart." Although Shen Yanzhi said so, what he thought in his heart was: Fool, can I still not see it when it is so obvious?

Lan Jiali and Grandma Shen looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, Lili, I'll decorate you with mung bean cake in a box, and you can bring some back for Lanlan to taste." Lan Jiali said as she took out the box in the cupboard and began to pack.

"Godmother, can you pack me more? I want to take it to school and share it with Su Yan. You Li asked sweetly at Lan Jiali.

Of course, it is a good thing for children to know how to share, Lan Jiali agreed without thinking about it, and packed an extra box for You Li.

Fang Lan's expression of surprise filled her face when she ate the mung bean cake: "Grandma Shen's skills are really good. ”

When Su Yan ate the sweet and soft mung bean cake, she let out an exclamation sound: "Pear, this mung bean cake is so delicious." The fragrance is sweet, and the most important thing is that it is not greasy to eat. ”

"It's delicious, this is made by Shen Yanzhi's grandmother, and I will be responsible for taking the model and pressing it out." You Li said proudly.

Dou Huaisheng, who was sitting in the back row, had already smelled the aroma of mung bean cake, and he thought that You Li would take the initiative to hand him a piece to taste, but no, he couldn't help but say, "Lili, aren't you going to give me a taste too?" ”

"But I've given the whole box to Yanyan, why don't I bring it to you next time? Or you go and ask Yeon-yeon if she'd like to give you a piece? You Li said helplessly.

Seeing this, Su Yan immediately protected the remaining mung bean cake in her arms, and said with a wicked smile: "Impossible, unless you promise me one thing." ”

"Okay, okay, promise you, you let me taste it first." Dou Huaisheng agreed without thinking about it, he felt that Su Yan would not let himself do something very excessive. After thinking about it, he continued to add: "I don't do anything that violates the law and discipline." ”

Su Yan slapped Dou Huaisheng's head and shouted: "What are you thinking about?" ”

Yu Li said that he was used to playing with them.

Soon, Shen Yanzhi's birthday on Saturday arrived, although he didn't show any special enthusiasm, but this couldn't resist Lan Jiali, he got up early in the morning and went out to buy vegetables, followed by Grandma Shen and said, "I haven't cooked anything for my grandson for so many years, and I have to show my hand today." ”

Grandma Shen felt that the black chicken stew was fresh and replenishing, so Lan Jiali picked one and asked the boss to weigh it. One morning, the two of them walked home with their loot.

You Li woke up early in the morning, excitedly walking towards Shen Yanzhi's room with the birthday gift she had already prepared, she knocked on the door and found that no one answered, "Brother Yanyan, are you awake?" I'm in, huh? ”

The tiptoeing You Li entered Shen Yanzhi's room, and she found that Shen Yanzhi was still asleep, so she obediently sat on a chair next to her and waited for him to wake up.

Shen Yanzhi always felt that someone was staring at him, and the moment he blinked, it confirmed his thoughts, it was indeed someone staring at him, and he asked with a headache: "Why did you come to my room so early?" ”

"It's not your birthday today, I want to be the first to give you a gift, I didn't bother you when I was sleeping when I came, am I good." You Li had a praising expression.

Shen Yanzhi felt like a flock of crows flying by, and he explained slowly: "Lili, do you know that this is very scary? Although your original intention is good. ”

Seeing that Shen Yanzhi seemed to be really a little angry, although You Li, who didn't know what was wrong, still apologized as soon as possible, and said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Yanyan, I won't do this next time, I just want to be the first person to give you a gift." ”

Shen Yanzhi, who realized that he might have said something serious, said softly: "Okay, I don't mean to blame you, don't straddle your face, otherwise my mother will think that I bullied you when she sees it later, didn't she say that she wanted to give me a gift, what is it?" Show me. ”

You Li knew that this was Shen Yanzhi changing the topic and giving herself a step, so she took out the gift box that was placed aside and handed it over: "Brother Yanyan, give it, this is a cup made by me, you can use it for drinking water." After speaking, You Li turned around and walked out of Shen Yanzhi's room.

Shen Yanzhi, who was holding the gift box, opened it expectantly, after all, You Li had not given herself any serious gifts for so many years, and this was the first time that there was packaging. However, when he saw the contents of the gift box, the corners of Shen Yanzhi's mouth twitched slightly subconsciously.

He took out the "cup" mentioned in You Li's mouth, probably because the producer's level was not good, the cup mouth was uneven, and the outrageous thing was that there was not even a cup handle. The color of the "cup" is even more indescribable, as if the mixed color has been smeared after the seasoning plate has been overturned.

Shen Yanzhi, who got up and cleaned up, naturally put this new water cup of his own next to the water dispenser in the living room.

Lan Jiali, who came back from shopping for vegetables, was thirsty and anxious to drink water, looked at the new "thing" next to the water dispenser and asked suspiciously: "Have I ever bought such a strange thing?" ”

Shen Yanzhi said coldly on the side: "The water cup that Lili made for me with her own hands." ”

"How? Godmother, is it good-looking? You Li asked Lan Jiali expectantly.

This topic almost choked Lan Jiali when she asked, and said on the premise of trying not to hurt You Lixin: "Lili, you see that you are a representative of the abstract school, not bad, not to mention that what you do is quite in line with the temperament of words." ”

Shen Yanzhi looked at his mother's unobtrusive praise on the side, and laughed, and Lan Jiali immediately glared at him with a roll of eyes. However, Shen Yanzhi just shrugged his arm and made a helpless look.

Lan Jiali was too lazy to be familiar with him, so she had better go cook first, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to help but use force against Shen Yanzhi today.

When the living room was empty, Shen Yanzhi walked to the water dispenser and took the cup he had just gotten, and admired it, but he happened to be seen by Shen Yanzhong, who came back from work, thinking that his son was mentally ill, so he quietly went to the kitchen to ask Lan Jiali.

"How can your son have a mental illness, are you too sensitive?" Lan Jiali retorted without thinking about it.

"But I saw my son staring at something unseemly in his hand for a long time, and I didn't even notice it when I came back." Shen Yanzhong replied with an oath.

"That's a birthday gift made by Lili to Yanyan, what do you know? Get out of here, don't get in the way of me cooking. Lan Jiali drove Shen Yanzhong out of the kitchen in disgust.

Shen Yanzhong, who looked puzzled, returned to the living room and saw that his son had returned to "normal" and was sitting on the sofa watching TV, he shook his head and thought to himself: This seems to be no problem, it turned out to be sent by Lili, then everything is easy to explain.

When You Yecheng came over, he deliberately carried a cake in his hand, and walked in with a smile and gave Shen Yanzhi a big red envelope: "Godson, happy birthday!" ”

Although he usually eats Shen Yanzhi's vinegar, today is Shen Yanzhi's birthday and he is his godson, so of course the etiquette must be in place. In other words, if it was other boys who appeared next to You Li now, he might not be able to accept it, and it would be more pleasing to Shen Yanzhi. I watched it grow up, and I was more at ease with my character.

Shen Yanzhi took the red envelope after thanking him, because Lan Jiali would also make a big red envelope on You Li's birthday, so the two families had already acquiesced to this method, and Shen Yanzhi would not twist it.

Grandma Shen specially stewed a black chicken soup today, and also made a sweet and sour grilled fish, You Li's eyes were immediately attracted by this dish, a whole fish was fried until golden brown, and the tomato sauce was boiled in a pot and poured on top of the fish.

"Grandma Shen, this fish is really delicious." You Li said and sandwiched a large piece for herself, the fish was fried just right, very tender, and it was really delicious and appetizing with this sweet and sour sauce.

"Well, grandma's cooking is really delicious, eat more." Shen Yanzhi also gave great affirmation to this dish, and by the way, he put the fish meat that he had picked out and put it in You Li's bowl.

"If you like it." Grandma Shen watched that the dishes she made were deeply loved by the children, and she was happy like a child.
