Chapter 84 Ming Dai Makes Candy, Zhou Sinian: It's So Sweet!
When Aunt Huang came to find Mingdai, she was busy making candy.
Aunt Huang knocked on the door opened by Zhou Sinian, and when she saw the two of them, she turned her head and thought about it, as if she knew each other, and turned sideways to let the two in.
Aunt Huang rubbed the door panel and moved in, and Sister-in-law Huang followed closely.
After seeing them come in, Zhou Sinian immediately closed the door and startled the two of them with a snap.
Zhou Sinian ignored them and walked directly towards the kitchen.
The two listened to the movement in the kitchen and followed, just in time to hear Ming Dai ask Zhou Sinian who was coming.
Aunt Huang took the opportunity to speak: "Daughter-in-law Xiaoming, I'm here to send the old sister something to change, isn't it convenient?" ”
Ming Dai's voice came: "Convenient, convenient, auntie come in, it's warm here." ”
The two opened the door and entered, and the room was steaming and steaming.
"Auntie, there's a stool over there, you can sit down first."
Only then did Aunt Huang see where Ming Dai was, and she put down the basket she was carrying: "Girl Xiaoming, I brought some dried apples for you to taste." ”
Ming Dai came over with a kettle and looked at the big bag of dried fruits in her basket: "Auntie, why do you give me so much and don't keep it for the children?" ”
Aunt Huang waved her hand: "When my mother's family comes over, I will definitely have to bring it, you can eat this." ”
Ming Dai was not polite, and took a bowl and made two bowls of fried noodles for the two: "Why didn't you bring iron eggs and dog eggs?" ”
Sister-in-law Huang took a sip of the sweet fried noodles and said with a smile: "The two of them are skin monkeys, and they follow the children to skate early in the morning, and they will not be able to see people at all, and they will never come back until they have a meal." ”
"Ice skating?"
Mingdai was a little surprised: "Can you skate now?" ”
Aunt Huang nodded: "The small river is already okay, the big river has to wait, our most famous is the Yudai River, which runs through the entire Song City, and our village is just in a bend, so it is called Liujiawan." When the Yudai River freezes, your aunt will take you to ice skating, and then you can also break the ice and fish, and your uncle can catch it every year. ”
Ming Dai nodded excitedly, in her previous life, she went to see winter fishing, which was very interesting, and she had no problem skating, but she had only played in the skating rink, not on wild ice.
Suddenly, a rich sweet fragrance attracted the attention of the two, and when they raised their eyes, it was Zhou Sinian who couldn't wait to open the lid.
Mingdai got up and went over to take a look, sitting in the warm water, the glutinous rice mixed with malt had already risen.
Aunt Huang and sister-in-law Huang followed over and took a look: "Xiao Mingzhiqing, what are you doing?" ”
Ming Dai asked Zhou Sinian to bring out the basin and put it on the dining table.
"This is for making sugar, Zhou Sinian likes to eat sugar, but I can't afford to spend money on it, so I want to make it myself. It just so happened that he was sending glutinous rice in his package this month, so I wanted to try making some candy to eat. ”
Aunt Huang now has blind confidence in Ming Dai: "You girl is so smart, you can make candy." ”
Ming Dai said embarrassedly: "When I was a child, there was a neighbor who sold candy, I saw how to do it, try to make it." ”
Sister-in-law Huang sniffed: "Sure, this smell is very sweet." ”
Mingdai nodded: "It just so happens that my sister-in-law is here, help me do it together." ”
Sister-in-law Huang happily agreed.
After finding a clean cage cloth, the two of them poured the fermented glutinous rice into it and squeezed it, and soon the abundant juice leaked out, and there was more than half a basin.
Zhou Sinian secretly stretched out his hand to dip it and tasted it, and narrowed his eyes happily.
It's so sweet!
Mingdai called him to go and make a fire, but he didn't hear it.
Sister-in-law Huang hurriedly responded: "I'm going to burn, I'm going to burn!" ”
She wants to do more work, and she will ask Xiao Mingzhiqing to give her a piece of candy to taste, the last time Xiao Mingzhiqing gave her pine nut candy, it was always delicious!
Aunt Huang didn't see it, why was she so greedy!
Ming Dai was not polite, turned around and went to the cupboard to take out the peanuts and pine nuts she had fried in advance.
"Auntie, please help me get the skin."
Aunt Huang nodded in response, washed her hands and began to peel peanuts and pine nuts.
After thinking about it, he said to Sister-in-law Huang who was burning the fire: "Old family, you go home and bring over the half of the bag of hazelnuts in our house." ”
Sister-in-law Huang's eyes lit up: "Mother, there are still some sesame seeds at home, why don't you also fry them and bring them?" ”
Aunt Huang scolded her with a smile: "You gluttonous ghost, the old lady is just half a jar of sesame seeds, you still remember it, go ahead, fry it together and bring it over!" ”
Sister-in-law Huang got up and ran home.
Ming Dai smiled and praised Aunt Huang: "You are really a good mother-in-law, just like the mother and daughter at the sister-in-law." ”
Aunt Huang flipped the small basket in her hand and turned the peanut skin out: "They are all from the daughter-in-law, and if you can tolerate it, you can tolerate it, besides, your sister-in-law is a little greedy, but she is very filial, and she is very good to me and your uncle.
People are good to you, don't you have to be good to others?
Compare your heart to your heart. ”
Ming Dai really thinks that Aunt Huang is one of the few sober people she has seen since she wore books, and the other is Liu Sanye, a senior single aristocrat, who has a sober understanding beyond ordinary people.
Stuffed a handful of cooked peanuts to Zhou Sinian and asked him to go to the fire, Ming Dai poured the sugar juice into the pot and kept stirring it with a spatula.
Aunt Huang looked at Zhou Sinian who was reflected by the firelight, this would make him not wear his red bandana, and it looked much more normal.
His black hair was neatly cut, his eyes were lowered, he was playing with the peanuts in his hands, he was well-behaved, he didn't look crazy, but because of Ming Dai's feeding during this time, he gained a lot of weight, although he was still thinner than ordinary people, but at least he looked like a handsome young man.
This person is really lucky, I met Xiao Mingzhiqing.
The two chatted and gossip, Zhou Sinian ate peanuts, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a while, the soup in the pot thickened, and the color gradually deepened, and the edges bulged and bubbled.
Ming Dai looked at the same, took an enamel basin smeared with cooked oil, and shoveled the boiled sugar into it.
Aunt Huang also chopped the peanuts and laid them on the board.
Ming Dai went over with the enamel basin and shoveled a small half of the syrup, and Aunt Huang quickly began to stir until the peanuts and syrup were evenly fused together.
Ming Dai took out the wooden frame mold that had been polished a long time ago, put the mixed peanut syrup in it, squeezed it flat, and got a peanut candy brick in the style of a brick.
Take a knife and cut the large peanut candy bricks into slices and put them in a bamboo sieve to dry.
Zhou Sinian looked at her with bright eyes, and Ming Dai couldn't resist the coquettish eyes of the big dog, so she handed him a piece.
"Now eat sticky teeth, you lick and eat first, and then bite when it's cold, you know?"
Zhou Sinian nodded wildly, took a piece, sat on the side and licked it, it was so sweet!
If there had been a tail, it would have been a little fan long ago.
After making peanut candy, the two made another piece of pine nut kernels, but the pine nuts were made less, and only a dozen slices were cut.
In the end, she took the fried soybean noodles in the cupboard, poured some sugar into it, and pulled some sugar out while it was hot.
Aunt Huang and Zhou Sinian were amazed by her hand, and Zhou Sinian wanted to try it himself.
Ming Dai was afraid that he would get herself, so she refused, took two chopsticks, picked a piece of syrup, and let him play around.
Zhou Sinian really didn't make a fuss about pulling candy, and had fun.
Before Sister-in-law Huang came, Ming Dai added a scoop of water to the cauldron and boiled it, scooped it out and poured it into the tea jar to drink, and then added water to the pot to boil, and sat the enamel basin in it to avoid syrup hardening.
One person and one bowl of sugar water, biting the crunchy peanut candy, Aunt Huang smiled happily.
"I haven't eaten as much sugar in my life as I have today, and I have enjoyed happiness with Xiao Ming's daughter!"
Ming Dai smiled: "The blessing of the aunt is behind, it's too early." ”
Aunt Huang laughed sweetly, and Zhou Sinian gave her a strange look.
After a while, the door rang, Ming Dai went to open the door, and Sister-in-law Huang was holding a small basket, followed by two small tails.
She was very disgusted: "Let these two little bastards get entangled, you have to come with them." ”
The dog didn't mind his mother's dislike, and showed an innocent smile at Mingdai.
"Aunt Ming! We're coming! ”
Ming Dai responded with a smile and led the three of them into the kitchen.
The two little ones were stunned by a sieve-dried sugar cube!
Ming Dai placed them next to Zhou Sinian, and also picked two lumps of syrup for the two of them, and ate them while playing, and soon the three of them played together.
Sister-in-law Huang brought a lot of cooked sesame seeds, and the syrup was not enough.
Aunt Huang waved her hand: "Just do less, and you can grind the rest and add some salt to make sesame salt to eat, and it will be fragrant!" ”
Ming Dai agreed he, compared to sweets, she prefers salt and pepper snacks, sesame salt sounds good.
The enamel basin was brought out, and hazelnut candy and sesame candy were made in turn.
Fortunately, Aunt Huang is here, her hands have been trained in cooking and making iron sand palms, and she is not afraid of being hot, if Ming Dai comes to knead the sugar, it is estimated that she will have to burn a bag.
After everything was done, it was noon, and Ming Dai left them to eat, but Aunt Huang was unwilling.
Or Ming Dai said that she would eat the rice dregs with leftover sugar and paste cakes, so she was willing to stay.
Ming Dai beckoned Zhou Sinian to wash the grinding disc, put the remaining rice residue on the grinding disc, and added some water to grind it into rice milk.
Aunt Huang looked at the grinding plate and sighed: "It is convenient to have a grinding plate, you can eat fresh bud rice milk buns in autumn, that sweet and delicious"
Zhou Sinian's ears moved: fresh bud rice milk bag... Sweet... Delicious!
Mingdai: Yes! He's heard it again!
Rice milk plus some glutinous rice flour kneaded into a dough, smear some oil in the pot, paste it along the bottom of the pot, fry it on both sides of the golden, bite it soft and glutinous and sweet, with sugar water, a few people who eat it are very happy.
The dog is even more called the New Year!
At this moment, at the captain's house, Liu Dazhu was eating bud rice flour cakes and hot water, looking at the two unlucky sons and sighing.
He didn't make his wife angry, did he? Why didn't you come back to cook the meal?
Thinking that his eldest daughter-in-law was not there, he stretched out his chopsticks and slammed them on his eldest son's head.
"Boom!"
Whose tears are swishing out!
"You bear thing, did you make your daughter-in-law angry, so you don't go home to cook?"
Liu Laifu covered his head with tears in his eyes: I'm not the only one whose daughter-in-law is not at home, isn't my mother also at home? !
But he didn't dare to say it, for fear that the old man would beat him.
Liu Laifa silently nibbled on the cake, glad that he did not have a daughter-in-law.
