And the Han family in the fifteenth ditch was busy wrapping the sticky fire spoon at this time. Yunxue soaked the rhubarb rice for seven or eight days, and changed the water twice in the middle, and finally soaked it. The soaking time of this pack of sticky rice spoon should not be too short, but it should not be too long. It's too short, the rice doesn't bubble up, and the sticky fire spoon that wraps it out is not sticky. If you soak it for a long time, the rice will become sour and taste bad. Normally, glutinous rice takes about ten days, and rhubarb rice is relatively small, and seven or eight days is about the same.

The soaked rhubarb rice was about to be ground and pushed out, and Yun Xue and Tianfu pushed it for a whole day with a grinding stick before they could be regarded as pushing out all the eighty catties of rice. What is introduced is a watery face, and it has to be put in a cloth pocket to control the water. Yun Xue made a few cloth bags, put sticky noodles, put them on the pot curtain or sieve, and then connected a large basin or something underneath to control the water. This thing needs to be controlled overnight, and only when the sticky noodles inside are almost controlled can you wrap the sticky fire spoon.

Early the next morning, Yun Xue got up and cooked red beans in a cauldron first. The sticky fire spoon is to put bean paste in it, and Yun Xue's original intention is to mix these small beans with them, so that they will wrap the sticky fire spoon. The adzuki beans were washed twice in advance with water and then soaked in warm water overnight, which made it easier to cook the paste.

After boiling, the adzuki bean paste should be put with sugar. At this time, Yun Xue missed the saccharin in her previous life very much. Although that thing is not good for the human body, it can be very sweet if it is not used much. Now you can only use white sugar, but this thing is too expensive, where is Yunxue willing to put it in? It's just the meaning, just a little sweet.

Adzuki bean paste is generally cooked on the same day, and if it is cooked too much, it will be sour the next day. Yun Xue estimated that eighty catties of rhubarb rice, I'm afraid they would have to wrap it for three days to make it, so they didn't have a lot of small beans.

After breakfast, everyone began to wrap the sticky fire spoon. With the help of Yun Ting and Tianfu, Yun Xue kneaded the controlled sticky noodles vigorously. When it was almost kneaded, Yun Xue took a piece of sticky noodles and patted it with her hand, feeling that the softness was okay. "Alright, it's time to wrap it."

Yun Ting and Yun Lei happened to be resting today, and they didn't need to go to the school, so the two of them also followed to help. Fortunately, these boys at home are not stupid, and after teaching them a few times, they will be packed.

In fact, wrapping this thing is very simple, just wrap the adzuki bean paste in the sticky dough, and then pat it flat. But don't look simple, if you don't get it right, the sticky face will stick to your hands, and then the sticky fire spoon will break. The main thing about wrapping the sticky fire spoon is to mix it with adzuki beans, so Yun Xue specially instructed everyone to make the skin of the sticky fire spoon a little thinner, so that you can put more adzuki bean paste.

Yun Ting They are boys, and their hands are relatively hot, so they must move quickly, otherwise, the sticky face will easily get on their hands, and the sticky fire spoon will break. Yun Ting was careless, and as a result, he broke one. "Sister, this thing is really hard to get."

Yun Xue smiled, "Don't worry, put the broken one aside, wait for the cold to repack, it's okay." You just have to move fast, or your hands will get too hot and you'll get wet. Yun Xue was talking, but her hands were non-stop, and she quickly wrapped several of them. Just like me, you have to hurry. In addition, the bean paste should be pressed a little bit, otherwise, the filling will fall apart and the outer skin will be broken. ”

Tianfu and Yun Ting both carefully watched Yun Xue's movements, and then when they did it again, it was much better. Xiao Yunxia felt that this thing was so fun that she had to get a piece and play with it there. As a result, the dough was too soft by her, and it was all over her hands, and the angry little guy shouted, "Sister, sister, my hands have turned white." ”

Yun Xue turned her head and looked, good guy, not only on his hands, but also on his face and hair, there was a slight yellow sticky face. "Oh my God, Yunxia, how did you get this?" Yun Xue wailed. This guy, how can he clean up after he gets like this?

The big guys all saw Yunxia's miserable condition, and Yun Lei pointed at Yunxia and laughed. The rest of the people couldn't help laughing, and finally didn't laugh out loud.

When Tianfu saw this, he hurriedly put down the sticky fire spoon wrapped in his hand, "Eldest sister, I'll go clean up for Yunxia and change her clothes." I'll send her to Grandma Zhong's house later, or else this troublemaker won't know what to do." With that, he picked up Yunxia and went to the outhouse to wash his hands.

Yunxia looked back at these people in the room, her little nose was wrinkled, and her little mouth was pouting, "A bunch of villains, laughing at Yunxia, hum, ignore you." ”

Everyone couldn't hold back anymore and all laughed.

Waited until Tianfu cleaned up all of Yunxia, changed her clothes again, and then took Yunxia to Zhong's house.

Now there is nothing to do in the Zhong family, the old man of the Zhong family has come back from outside, and there are still Grandpa Zhao and others at home, talking and chatting there. It has been ten days since Qianru gave birth to a child, and the little guy is getting better and better-looking, Grandma Zhong has to go to Qianru's confinement house every day, and it is rare to hold the child.

When Tianfu came in, Grandma Zhong happened to hug the little doll for a while, and after being satisfied, she came out of Qianru's house. "God's blessing, why are you free to come here today? Yo, why is Yunxia still pouting? ”

"Grandma, hug. They laugh at me and hate it. When Yunxia saw Grandma Zhong, she immediately ran to her and stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Grandma Zhong's thigh.

Grandma Zhong bent down and hugged Yunxia, "Who laughed at you, grandma will help you clean them up, and see how grandma spanks them." ”

When Yunxia heard that she was going to be spanked, she quickly shook her head, "Don't beat, don't beat." My brothers and sisters laughed at me and couldn't fight. ”

Tianfu hurriedly explained beside her, "Grandma, there is a sticky fire spoon at home, but this girl made a piece of noodles, and the big guy laughed at her, and she got angry." I thought I'd let my grandmother watch it for a while, and then pick it up when we're done. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a sticky fire spoon, okay, Yunxia will stay with me. Do you have enough people at home? Otherwise, let Baozhu and Mingzhu go over together to help. Grandma Zhong smiled when she heard this.

"We're all helping, we should be able to get busy. If Sister Baozhu and the others have time tomorrow, they can go over and do a favor. Tomorrow Yun Ting and Yun Lei will go back to the school to study, and my eldest sister and Yun Ni will be busy. "Tianfu is not polite, anyway, the relationship between the two families is so good, there is no need to be too rusty.

"Okay, I'll ask Baozhu and Mingzhu to help tomorrow." Grandma Zhong smiled and agreed.

Tianfu left Yunxia at the Zhong family, and then returned to the Han family by himself. At this time, everyone has already wrapped a lot, and there can be three curtains. As soon as Yun Xue saw it, she hurriedly went to light the fire, and then began to burn the fire spoon. Originally, the sticky fire spoon should have been put in the pot, and the pot was cooked without adding water. Yun Xue disliked that the tweezers were too big and too thick, and it was very laborious to use, so she asked someone to make a round piece of iron in the blacksmith shop in the town. The iron piece is placed in the pot, exactly halfway there. That's how it works.

Yun Xue took the oil bag and wiped it vigorously on the iron plate, waiting for the iron plate to be hot, and then put the sticky fire spoons on top one by one. It takes a lot of heat to burn this thing, so you need to cover the pot and wait a while before baking the other side in reverse. As long as you see that the edge of the sticky spoon is no longer white, but becomes a little translucent, it is considered cooked.

Yun Xue looked at the pot and placed two pots on the pot table, one for sticky noodles and one for adzuki bean paste. In this way, she can take advantage of the gap between the sticky fire spoons and wrap a few more.

"Eldest sister, you just stick to the fire spoon, and we can supply a few bags." Tianfu saw it and said.

"It's okay, or wouldn't I be idle? Take advantage of this gap to pack as many as you can. Yun Xue moved quickly, and quickly wrapped one and put it on the curtain. Then she lifted the lid of the pot and tried to turn over a sticky spoon to see, and felt that it was about the same, so she turned them all over one by one.

"It's this thing at noon today, I'll cook some of the hotter ones later, let's eat them." Yun Xue said as she flipped over.

"Okay, what to eat, this sticky fire spoon is a good thing, delicious and anti-hunger. If it weren't for the millet that our family planted this year, we really wouldn't have that opportunity to pack. Tianfu said with a smile.

"Yes, our family has a lot of land this year, and all kinds of things have been planted, so that we can wrap the sticky fire spoon. In the past, even if there was a little rhubarb rice at home, but without adzuki beans, it would not be able to wrap it. Yun Xue sighed, "So, you still have to have a variety of land, and the more you plant, the more flowers you will eat." ”

"Sister, will we still buy land next year? Our land is still too little. Tianfu said with a little regret. Although there is a lot of wasteland, there is no food in the first few years, only those potatoes and sweet potatoes. ”

"Let's talk about it then, there must be that opportunity, who will sell land for ordinary good people?" Yun Xue also wanted to buy more land, so that she wouldn't have to worry about running out of food to eat at that time. Now that there is no shortage of money at home, it is really necessary to buy some more land, but this thing must also be met.

As Yun Xue spoke, she opened the pot again and saw that the sticky fire spoon in the pot was ready.

The sticky fire spoon is about to be shoveled out of the pot with a spatula. There is a wooden trough next to the pot, which is used to hold the sticky fire spoon. Put the sticky fire spoon in it loosely, so that it is easier to dissipate heat. Wait until it is cool, then you can take it outside to freeze it, and when you want to eat it in the future, you can take it back and eat it hot.

"Would you like to have a try?" Yun Xue scooped out all the sticky fire spoons in the pot, and a fragrance wafted out. She smiled and asked Tianfu.

"No need, you can eat later." Tianfu shook his head.
