Chapter 604: Bullying Xue Shi
“Waa…” Xue Shi cried.
Jiang Yue was speechless.
“Waa…” Xue Shi’s cries grew even louder.
She was convinced that this child only wanted to hear the sound of the rattle drum. She shook the rattle-drum with her small hands again.
Xue Shi immediately stopped crying, and looked at her without blinking.
Jiang Yue really didn’t want to tease the child, so she quickly gave the rattle-drum to Xue Yan.
“Waa…” Not hearing the sound of the rattle-drum, Xue Shi immediately cried again.
Xue Yan shook her head.
Xue Shi stopped crying.
In the yard, Xue Erfu, who was chopping wood with his back bent, heard the rhythmic crying and laughed. He continued chopping wood with his ax and laughed, “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, I asked you to play with my son, not bully him.”
Liu Guixia and the others all laughed at this.
Xue Yifu laughed naively.
In the room, Yu Hongyan had slept for the entire morning and another two hours in the afternoon. She was woken up because her family had returned from town. When she heard this, she smiled happily.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other while Xue Shi looked at them.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were speechless.
The chicken stew at home was especially fragrant. Yu Hongyan was in the midst of her confinement and needed to nourish herself. However, Yu
Hongyan was already sick of eating chicken. Ever since the family’s conditions improved, she had chicken to eat almost every day. Now, she didn’t even want to eat chicken anymore. She only wanted to drink some soup.
However, Yu Hongyan really liked to eat noodles with chicken soup. So, after the chicken was stewed, Liu Guixia scooped out a bowl of chicken soup and made a big bowl of noodles for Yu Hongyan. She also placed two white and fat eggs on top of it before letting Xue Erfu carry it over.
This was Yu Hongyan’s dinner.
Jiang Yue didn’t want to eat chicken anymore. She didn’t want to eat chicken for dinner, nor did she want to drink chicken soup. She only ate a cornmeal and half a bowl of porridge.
Before going to bed at night, Jiang Yue told Liu Guixia and the others that she would make breakfast tomorrow. She had to think about the steamed buns that Sifu sold in town.
In fact, there was no need to think about it at all. She had so much food in her original world that she would never run out of ideas.
She planned to make steamed buns stuffed with rice noodles tomorrow. It just so happened that there were ready-made rice noodles at home. Other families had not used rice noodles as the filling.
If other people wanted to make buns with this filling, they would definitely buy rice noodles from her, killing two birds with one stone.
As for the mantou, she planned to make the tri-colored mantou, which was made of flour, cornmeal, and purple sweet potato. There were purple sweet potatoes at home, and there were corn seeds in both the North and South. Even if they were ground into powder, it would still be cheaper than flour. The mantou made in this way would naturally cost less than those made of flour, and it would look new and refreshing.
Originally, she had planned to make purple sweet potato mantou directly, but considering that there were only so many purple sweet potatoes at home, it was better to make tri-colored ones so that she could use less purple sweet potatoes each time.
After all, they had only planted half an acre of purple sweet potatoes at home.
As for the dumplings, she planned to add some potato starch into the flour. Therefore, making the final dumplings more chewy and smooth.
In fact, if clear flour and potato starch were used to make the dumpling skin, the dumpling skin would be transparent in the end, which meant that crystal dumplings could also be made into crystal buns. This would be even better and adds more competition in the food making market.
However, the problem was that the clear flour was the starch that was produced after washing the dough, which was also the starch used to make liangpi, which was also the wheat starch. If this was the case, she had to wash the dough before anything else, which was troublesome.
They didn’t even make liangpi anymore, so the crystal dumplings and crystal buns could wait. If the dumplings and buns in the shop were no longer in demand, it wouldn’t be too late to make them then..
