The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

 Chapter 153 153 Liangpi and crystal rice dumplings

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and a shelf has been set up above the well. It is covered with loofahs, which have just blossomed and become twisted. It is estimated that it will take ten or eight days to eat.

Su Ruojin said to the little plant climbing close to the corridor, "Little prince, in three years' time, I'll treat you to grapes."

 Three years? Zhao Lan thought about it, he was sixteen and his wife was eleven, what would that be like? I got up from the lounge chair with great interest, walked through the patio, and walked to the well. The sunlight was blocked by the lush loofah vine leaves, providing a shade.

He looked at the short grapevine, which was climbing up on a small support and trying to grow upward. It looked like it would be used to shade the well platform in two or three years.

 “Is there any more?” He also wanted to plant grapes in his yard, and when the fruits came out, he would invite the young lady to come over and eat them.

Su Ruojin shook his head, "I'll ask Father Feng to bring it to you next spring. How many do you want?"

 “A few more.”

"good."

Seeing that the two of them were almost chatting, Lu Dani stepped forward and reminded, "Second lady, it's time to start dinner."

 “Okay!”

The weather is hot. In addition to all kinds of food made from Sophora japonica, Su Ruojin also made jelly and Liangpi. When he put them on the table, he felt cool and pleasant. In addition to Sophora japonica dumplings, what Zhao Lan ate the most was Liangpi.

 Liangpi is thin, translucent, and tastes sour and spicy, making it especially suitable for summer consumption.

The Su family has never heard of this technique of making cold skin transparent. Zhao Lan likes to eat it, and Shuang Rui has never asked for it. Su Ruojin plans to add this cold skin to the barbecue stall tomorrow, and teaches Shi Liu the skill of washing noodles.

“Should we reduce the amount of barbecue?”

"Yes." Su Ruojin said, "In May and June, it is hot but not hot, and people have little appetite. We reduce the amount of BBQ and serve appetizers such as Liangpi, which also gives a sense of freshness to the diners around who are tired of barbecue."

When mixing cold skin, you can add salt, vinegar, sesame paste, chili pepper, cucumber shreds, bean sprouts, garlic juice and seasonal vegetables according to different tastes. It is estimated that there will be many people eating it.

After eating and digesting, Zhao Lan was in no hurry to leave. He kept sitting in the corridor, either taking a nap or playing with Su Sanlang, as if it was a day off.

 The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and Suji Breakfast Shop has already served various kinds of rice dumplings.

 Northern people eat sweet rice dumplings, while southerners like salty rice dumplings. Su Ji serves a variety of flavors for breakfast.

This year, Su Ruojin didn't use the rice dumplings from the shop. She taught Lu Dani how to make the exquisite crystal rice dumplings at home. In addition to eating them with her own family, she also gave them to neighbors and friends, Su Yanli's immediate boss, and the Su family. Thighs and so on.

While Zhao Lan was resting with his eyes squinted in the corridor, Su Ruojin led Ding, Lu Dani, Mao Ya and others around the barrel to make rice dumplings together.

She chattered a lot and gave little guidance, but she didn't make a lot of packages. Most women are ingenious. Ding and Lu Dani made things quickly and well, and they made several flavors in a short time.

A kind of crystal rice dumpling is the Cantonese-style alkaline water rice dumpling. It is made into a clear yellow color and looks beautiful and textured. Su Ruojin added red bean paste to it and cooked it out of the pot. It is sweet and chewy. One bite is really sweet and glutinous. When we get home, we can’t stop eating.

Another type of crystal rice dumpling uses sago. Although this thing is only available in later generations, it is also called sago and is a specialty of Indonesia. However, some sago is made from tapioca flour and wheat starch. Processed rice, shaped like pearls, is often used to make porridge, soup, and snacks.

We don’t have anything overseas, but we do have tapioca flour and wheat starch. In April, Su Ruojin started preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival and made a lot of sago.

Sago can warm the spleen and strengthen the spleen, treat weak spleen and stomach, and indigestion. It can also restore the natural moisture of the skin, which is a favorite among women.

After the sago is ready, Su Ruojin makes some sago soup for her family every now and then. It is sweet, glutinous and refreshing, and everyone loves it. Today she uses it to make rice dumplings, and after peeling them out of the pot, each one is crystal clear, just like a work of art. , How can I still be willing to eat it?

In the evening, the sun gradually sets, and the sunlight loses its heat. It gently shines on the ridges and eaves of the roof, and falls on the green plants in the courtyard, adding a gentle color. After waking up from a long sleep, Zhao Lan slowly opened his eyes. The breeze blew slowly, and the rays of sunlight hit his face, coating his beautiful appearance with a layer of warm color.

Su Ruojin was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground. When she saw Shuangrui coming to fetch water, she asked, "Is your master awake?"

Shuangrui smiled and nodded.

She quickly peeled off five small rice dumplings as if they were offering treasures, put them on a white porcelain plate and took them out, "Little prince, are you hungry? Let's have some snacks!"

 Wake up in a good mood.

Zhao Lan seemed to be assimilated by Su Yanli, with a soft smile on his face. While enjoying Shuangrui washing his face and wiping his hands, he watched the young lady put colorful rice dumplings on the small table next to the lounge chair.

 “How is it transparent?”

The little lady seemed to be waiting for him to ask this question, and asked proudly, "What do you think?" Her little face was cute and lively.

 “Used the same thing as rice rolls and cold skin?”

Su Ruojin shook her head, "That is Chengfen, this one is made from sago made from starch."

Zhao Lan looked at the small and long rice dumplings. There were various colors in the middle, including green, pink, egg yellow, purple and black.

 The green one, Zhao Lan knew, was green vegetable juice. “What kind of juice was used for the pink color?”

“Red amaranth juice.” This one is the most beautiful among the five colors, very eye-catching, and is Su Ruojin’s favorite.

"Oh." As he spoke, Shuangrui helped his master wash up and leave. Su Ruojin quickly gave Zhao Lan a small pink rice dumpling with a bamboo skewer, asking him to try it quickly.

The little rice dumplings were really small. Zhao Lan swallowed them in one bite. Not only were they sweet and glutinous, they were also very bouncy and very addictive. He ate all five of the rice dumplings that the lady brought to him in one go. The ones with jujube paste, The bean paste and taro paste ones are all sweet and delicious, so delicious that you can’t stop eating them.

 He still wants to eat.

A pair of beautiful eyes between peach blossoms and red phoenixes, looking at the little lady eagerly, as clear as Su Sanlang and with a greedy mouth.

Su Ruojin: ...he is obviously older than her, not his younger brother!

She deliberately bluffed, "Little prince, it's hard to conquer. Besides, it's dinner time, let's have dinner first." After saying that, she left with an aura that could not be refuted. She actually secretly smacked her heart, the young man's lethality was so great. Yes, that little aunt can handle it.

 Hurry up and stay away from the monster.

Zhao Lan lowered his head and smiled, melting away the boundless gloom like a warm little puppy.

 After dinner, Zhao Lan took away all the rice dumplings made by the Su family in the afternoon, forcing Su Ruojin to make them again.

Cheng Yingzhen was worried, "If it is sent to Fan's house, Mrs. Fan will probably ask for more."

 “There is not much sago left.” No matter how hard we try, we can’t catch up.

Su Ruojin originally wanted to save some sago for making soup, but now she can only pack it all. Since the sago rice dumplings are not enough, she packs more lye rice dumplings. The crystal is bright and beautiful.

Zhao Lan took the rice dumplings from the Su family and went to her aunt's princess house instead of returning home first.
