Qian Mingyuan couldn't find Old Man Dong, so he discussed with Yun Zhen and wanted Yun Xue to come up and preside over the ceremony.

"Uncle Qian, don't let my eldest sister come up about this. Now my eldest sister is also older, and it is not good to come back to the mountains. Our mountain field sacrificed to the sky and found my eldest sister, so what if other mountain fields also went to find my eldest sister? Now that the world is too chaotic, who dares to say that the wooden handles in the mountain field are all good? I think we'll sacrifice to the heavens ourselves. Uncle Qian has been in the mountain field all these years, and he is also clear about the things here, so he doesn't need to look for others. "Yun Zhen naturally disagrees with Yun Xue going up the mountain.

Qian Mingyuan thought about it and felt that Yun Zhen's words also made sense. "That's okay, then let's prepare our own sacrifices to heaven and earth." In fact, Qian Mingyuan also understood in his heart that holding a ceremony to worship the heavens was just a kind of comfort for the big guys, just to be auspicious.

So, on October 12, Qian Mingyuan and Sun Changhai took everyone to hold a ceremony to worship the gods of heaven and earth on the mountain, and the mountain field was officially sawed and the trees were placed.

Yun Zhen has to do the work of wooden handles this year, that is, putting trees and lifting wood, etc., which is tiring and hard. But Yun Zhen didn't care, gritted his teeth and survived. After six or seven days, Yun Zhen gradually adapted to these jobs, and his strength was quite large, and he was really no worse than others in his work.

In addition, Yun Zhen is also responsible for the food and drink of these people in the mountain field. Every day, the three little half-pullers lit the fire and carried water, washed the rice and vegetables, and then waited for Yun Zhen to come back from the mountain to stir-fry and cook. Yun Zhen had to work and take care of cooking, so the big guy discussed it and said that he would let Qian Mingyuan give Yun Zhen more wages when the time came.

Inside the mountain field, year after year, it is so boring. And Yunxue is very busy at home this year. This year, there is less corn, but there are a lot of sweet potatoes, and the family has always steamed cakes with sweet potatoes mixed with sorghum rice noodles.

Yun Xue thought about it, so she grinded the sweet potato, mixed it in the sorghum, and cooked pancakes to eat. Pancakes are baked, they can be stored for a long time, and they are easy to eat. Many people in the village will cook a lot of pancakes in the winter. Originally, corn was used to make pancakes, but this year there was too little corn, so I had to use sorghum and sweet potatoes, so I could always eat my stomach.

The soaked sorghum rice is mixed with cooked rice cooked in advance, and the soaked soybeans are pushed out with a stone mill. Then mix it with the sweet potato powder that was ground before, and mix it into a thin and moderate paste, which can be used to make pancakes. In fact, only sweet potato powder can be baked out of pancakes, but Yun Xue thinks that it is too thick and too hard to eat, so it is deliberately mixed with sorghum rice.

If you want to make the pancakes softer, the main thing is to add the right amount of cooked rice and soybeans. Too little, and the pancakes will be too crispy and easy to break. If it's too much, it'll be too soft, and it's not good. Yun Xue was not very good at this, so she asked the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family to come over and help see how much was appropriate.

Originally, the Han family did not have a stone mill. Or this autumn, Yunxue sees too many sweet potatoes, and it is not easy to preserve. She thought about processing the sweet potatoes and turning them into sweet potato powder, so that they would be easier to store after drying. So, Yun Xue went to the town to find a stonemason and bought a plate of stone grinding back. With this stone mill, there is no need to go to other people's houses to borrow the mill for food at home in the future, but it can also be more convenient.

Tianfu and Yunxue worked in shifts, and finally pushed out all the pancake foam used for pancakes. A pan was set up in the kitchen, and Aunt Zheng taught Yunxue to make pancakes hand in hand. Fortunately, Yunxue is not stupid, and after a while, she has almost learned.

"Okay, just do as I say, this thing is a job where practice makes perfect. Don't burn too much fire under the tweezer, it's easy to paste when the fire is urgent. Aunt Zheng looked at Yun Xue's dozen pancakes and couldn't help but nod. Yunxue, you learn slowly, if there is anything you don't understand, go and call your aunt over. The family is also busy, so I'll go back first. After Aunt Zheng said a few words, she left.

"Thank you, auntie, my aunt is so busy at home, and she came to teach me." Yun Xue stood in front of the pancakes, her eyes staring at the pancakes on the pans, and the small wooden rake in her hand kept scraping the pancake foam. "Yunni, help me send Aunt Zheng, I can't do without this."

Yunni agreed, and then hurriedly sent Aunt Zheng out. "Auntie come and sit when she is free, if there is anything at home that you want us to help, just squeak. Brother Shi is about to get married, if my aunt is useful to us, don't be polite. Yunni said.

"Okay, auntie, remember. It's October now, and when it comes to the winter moon, your sisters will be considered to have completed the filial piety period, and there will be no need to be taboo anymore. If you're idle, I'll go to my aunt's house and sit down. The daughter-in-law of the Zheng family turned around and said a few words, and left in a hurry, because there were too many things to be busy at home.

Yunni sent away the Zheng family's daughter-in-law, and hurried back to the kitchen to help. Those baked pancakes have to be peeled again, so that the heat will not be dispersed, and they will stick together when the time comes.

Yun Xue stood in front of the pan, busy baking pancakes on top, and watching the fire below. It was close to the tweezers, and it didn't take long for him to be roasted and covered in sweat. Yun Xue casually dragged a dry cloth towel from the side and wiped it on her head twice. "It's still winter, and if it's a pancake in the summer, then it won't be even more sinful?"

"Eldest sister, why don't you teach me too, I'll replace you for a while, I think this thing is quite tiring." Yun Ni saw that the eldest sister was busy and couldn't help but say.

"Forget it, you better not come here, I just figured it out myself, where can I teach you? It's okay, you can help me keep an eye on the fire down there, so I can save some trouble. Yun Xue was reluctant to let Yun Ni suffer as well, so she asked Yun Ni to help watch the fire.

Yun Xue saw that the pancake under her hand was cooked, so she quickly took it off and put it on the panel next to her, where a small stack of pancakes was already placed. "Just peel them all off and put them on top of the curtain." After Yun Xue finished speaking, she turned around and scooped a spoonful of pancake foam from the bucket with a spoon and poured it on top of the pan.

A skilled hand can bake 30 catties of pancakes a day at most, and a raw hand like Yun Xue can be baked for 20 catties. By noon, Yun Xue felt that her shoulders were sore and her legs were tired.

Yun Ting and Yun Lei came back from the school, and before they could enter the door, they smelled a fragrance. The freshly baked pancakes have a sweet aroma in addition to the rich grain flavor. "Eldest sister, you are pancakes, they are so fragrant." Yun Lei suddenly rushed into the kitchen, "Ah, it's too hot in this kitchen, right?" Eldest sister, it's so hot, you have to be careful, it's better to leave the door open for a while and let out the heat. Yun Lei said and opened the kitchen door.

"Eldest sister, let's just eat pancakes at noon, this thing, roll it with some pickles and sauce, and you can eat it with water." Yun Ting said.

"Well, let's just eat pancakes, the eldest sister is too busy to cook, and she really doesn't have time to cook anything else." Yun Xue's hands are non-stop. "If only it were spring, get some leeks, just in time for the pancake box." Yun Xue suddenly remembered this. Fresh leeks are wrapped in freshly baked pancakes and cooked on top of pans, which is delicious.

"Sister, tell me again, we're all hungry." Yunni laughed.

"It seems that there is still white sugar at home, otherwise there are a few rolled white sugar, right? Yunni, you go get candy, let a few of you eat something delicious today. Yun Xue remembered this, so she hurriedly asked Yun Ni to get the sugar.

"Eldest sister, that's too much sugar, so don't you use it?" Yunni was a little reluctant.

"It's okay, just this once, I won't do it in the future. It's rare to make pancakes, so you have to satisfy your cravings. Yun Xue smiled and urged Yun Ni to hurry up and get the candy.

Pancake rolls with sugar, especially freshly baked pancakes with sugar rolled inside, are simply children's favorites. As soon as Yun Lei heard this, he couldn't help but jump up and cheer. "I like this, big sister, you're so good."

Yun Xue smiled, in these years, there are not many snacks among the children, and few people can afford to buy any snacks and fruits. It's very rare to be able to eat pancake rolls and candy once. "Eldest sister, a few more sheets, so that you can eat enough."

Yunni brought the sugar jar and placed it on the panel.

Yun Xue saw that the pancakes on the pan were almost there, so she used a scraper to dip the edge twice to lift the pancakes off the pancakes. Then Yun Xue folded the pancake in half on the pancake, picked up the sugar jar, scooped out some sugar from it, and sprinkled it on the pancake. Finally, roll up the pancakes again, and that's it. "Okay, cut it with your knife, and each of you will take one piece and eat it. I'll give you a few more. Yun Xue put the rolled pancakes on the panel.

Yunni took a knife and cut the pancakes into evenly sized pieces, "Okay, let's try it." Yunni took two pieces in her hand and went into the house to find Yunxia and Tianfu.

"Yunxia, see what delicious food the second sister brought you?" Yunni handed the pancake in her hand to Tianfu, "You better feed her, Yunxia is too small, don't burn her." ”

Tianfu took the pancakes, "It's so fragrant, the eldest sister is really good." He turned his head to look at Yunxia, "Come, brother feeds you delicious food, there is sugar in it." With that, Tianfu sent the pancake to Yunxia's mouth and let Yunxia bite it.

The freshly baked pancakes are crispy and crispy, exuding a sweet aroma. Xiao Yunxia was very interested in this fresh food, and took a big bite when she went up. "Sweet." How can a child not like sweets, Yunxia quickly swallowed the pancake in her mouth, and then took another big bite.

"Eat slowly, and there's more." Tianfu took the handkerchief and carefully wiped Yunxia's mouth.
