Marrying a village tyrant husband with space, being spoiled by the in-laws

Chapter 26 Making Red Date Glutinous Rice Cake at Midnight

"Give it to me. If it's not enough, I'll get you some more."

Li Chengjin picked up a few soybeans, tilted his head back and put them into his mouth, making a crunching sound while chewing.

Yu Suihuan took the small basket and found some fried peanuts, soybeans and melon seeds in it.

She peeled a peanut and put it in her mouth. It had the original crispy and fragrant flavor. It was not bad, but it did not have the many flavors of modern ones.

When I think of those spiced, garlic, walnut, and milky peanuts, the food in my mouth tastes even less tasty.

"Are you going to take these with you when you visit relatives tomorrow?"

Yu Suihuan couldn't help but ask.

"These things are pretty good. Ordinary people wouldn't even eat them. Only people in town with extra money would buy them to listen to music or eat with wine."

"Don't we always bring some cakes and pastries when we visit relatives?"

To be honest, she doesn't know much about what people brought when visiting relatives in ancient times. She just remembers that when her grandmother took her to visit relatives when she was a child, she would always buy some sweet snacks, such as fried dough twists, which were also wrapped in oil paper at that time.

"Most snacks are made of sugar, which is a precious commodity. Only rich people can afford snacks. When poor people visit relatives, they bring some practical food."

Li Chengjin patiently explained that after all, Yu Suihuan had been pampered in the Yu family for more than ten years, so it was normal for him not to know these things.

Emma, ​​it turns out that snacks are still considered luxuries here.

Wouldn't it be difficult to cook this on a normal day?

Her eyes fell on Li Chengjin and she spoke mysteriously.

"Let me tell you something. I found that the things we collected that day contained not only corn, wheat, rice, and soybeans."

"There are also glutinous rice, red beans, mung beans, red dates, white sugar, brown sugar, sesame seeds, fungus, medicinal herbs, and many other things."

"I want to make some red date glutinous rice cakes to eat. We can say that these things are what I brought here today. Anyway, there are not many, and they don't know whether there is anything in the donkey cart today. What do you say?"

She really had a sweet tooth, and if she didn't make excuses now, it would be harder to do so later.

"Okay, shall we go to the kitchen and do it now?"

Li Chengjin couldn't bear to refuse her because of her greedy look.

"Of course, we'll go now."

Yu Suihuan stood up and walked towards the kitchen impatiently.

The pot on the stove is very large and comes with a matching steamer.

She swiftly found the earthenware bowl in the cupboard and washed it again.

The method of making red date glutinous rice cake is very simple. Just boil the glutinous rice in water for about five minutes.

Soak the red dates in warm water for a while, then cut them in half with a knife, then cut them into quarters and set aside.

Lay out the clean bowls in a row, then put a layer of glutinous rice in the bowls, followed by a layer of red dates, and then some brown sugar, and continue like this layer by layer until the bowls are flat.

Yu Suihuan made a lot. Not only did she keep some for home, but she also planned to ask her mother-in-law and her elder and second sisters-in-law to take some away with them when they visited relatives tomorrow.

As the saying goes, a man who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and a man who receives someone's favor will be obliged to return the favor. So even if she does less work in the future, they won't say anything.

The sweet scent of red dates wafted in the air, and Li Chengjin had to admit that this red date glutinous rice cake would be very delicious if it was well made.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and start boiling the pot."

Yu Suihuan rolled his eyes at him, showing that he had no vision at all.

The man sneered. This little greedy cat was really taking advantage of others. Now he even dared to order him to do things.

So he sat in front of the stove and started to light the fire. He could only pamper his wife by himself.

It took a three-layer steamer to put more than a dozen bowls of red date glutinous rice cakes into the steamer. After putting the lid on, Yu Suihuan breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

"Bring it to a boil over high heat first, then switch to medium heat when it starts to steam. It will take about half an hour."

She found a stool and sat down nearby, resting her chin on her hand, waiting quietly for her red date glutinous rice cake.

The flickering firelight reflected on her face. At this moment, Li Chengjin felt that the person next to him was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

Yu Suihuan was so happy that he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"This red date glutinous rice cake is best when it is stewed for a while. It tastes fragrant, soft and sweet."

He just smiled and said nothing, really a little greedy cat.

After the fire boiled, white steam rose up, and after a while, the sweet fragrance of glutinous rice mixed with red dates spread in the air.

The sweet scent spread from the kitchen all the way to the entire yard, and then drifted into each room through the gaps.

At this time, no one in the house was asleep yet. They heard some noise outside and thought someone was boiling water in the kitchen.

Now the sweet fragrance of glutinous rice mixed with red dates wafts into the nose, making it impossible for adults or children to fall asleep.

"Who is doing this so late at night? How come the fragrance is so sweet that it even drifts into our house?"

Tao Guihua climbed up from the bed and stuck her head out to look outside.

"Mom, I'm so hungry."

The eldest child also jumped up from his crib.

"Mom, I'm hungry too."

Erwa, who was sleeping next to Tao Guihua, couldn't help but sniff hard, and his big eyes suddenly twinkled.

"Why do I feel like this smell is coming from our house?"

Li Chengjia had a fight with several people during the day today, and his arms and legs were sore now, so he naturally couldn't sleep.

"Our home? Let's go and take a look."

Their home smelled so good that Tao Guihua couldn't sit still anymore, and the four members of the family put on their clothes one after another.

Not only the first wife and the second wife, but also the old couple Li Lao Da and Li Zhou put on their clothes and went out to see what was going on.

When everyone looked, they saw that there was indeed a light in their own kitchen, and bursts of white smoke mixed with a sweet fragrance wafting out.

Only the third brother and his wife were not there, and they were obviously in the kitchen.

"Mom, I don't know what delicious food the old couple made in the kitchen. It tastes so delicious."

Tao Guihua just felt that she was hungry now, as it had just been more than an hour since she had dinner.

"You'll know if you go in and take a look."

Li Zhou was also a little curious about what the third brother and his wife were doing.

Everyone walked towards the kitchen out of curiosity, and the moment they opened the door, the sweet smell became stronger.

In the light of the fire, Li Chengjin was sitting in front of the stove and adding firewood to it, while Yu Suihuan was sitting beside him waiting quietly.

"Old Three, what are you two doing?"

Li Zhou stepped forward.

"Mom, when I came here today, I brought some glutinous rice, red dates, and brown sugar. You and your elder and second sisters-in-law are going to visit your parents tomorrow, so I thought of making some red date glutinous rice cakes for you to eat when you visit your relatives."

Yu Suihuan stood up, walked forward with a smile on his face and took Li Zhou's arm.

"What, making snacks? Huanhuan, you can also make snacks!"

No wonder it tastes so fragrant and sweet, it turns out it is a snack.

She had eaten dim sum only a few times in her life, and those dim sum were made of expensive things. In the pastry shop in town, a small piece cost only five or six cents.

I can’t afford it, I simply can’t afford it!
