191. Let’s start making pancakes in September

Youzi is a wiper sewn with more than ten layers of cloth, with cooking oil seeping on it. It is used to wipe the griddle to prevent the pancakes from sticking to the griddle.

As for the shovel, we did have it in this era. As the pancakes spread out gradually turned yellow, you had to use the shovel to gently scoop it along the edge of the spatula. When the sides of the pancake were lifted up, grab one side of the pancake with both hands and peel it off with a "sizzling" sound.

When you get up, a hot pancake is ready.

Well, there is another very important preparation work, which is to make the paste.

Grind the sweet potato noodles, add wheat flour or other flour, soak it in water overnight, grind it into pancake paste the next day, choose a place to spread the pancakes, set up the griddle, prepare firewood, and sit on the futon

Now you can start spreading the pancakes.

"Mom, when did you get this thing? Why haven't I seen it before? What is it for?"

Mrs. Liu was very curious about the spatula that Yue Jiuyue took out. What on earth is this? An upside-down pot? What are the three upward iron pieces used for? And the pot is too shallow, right?

Is it enough to cook something? What’s rare is that someone actually buys it! Isn’t it sh...a...

Oh, the person who bought this pot was her mother-in-law. She couldn't call her mother-in-law stupid. It would be unfilial to scold her mother-in-law's daughter-in-law!

"This is a griddle, used for spreading pancakes."

Yue Jiuyue's explanation couldn't solve Liu's confusion, so she continued to ask with new questions:

"Mom, what are pancakes? How do you spread them? Also, why is it called a pancake? Why isn't it called an upside-down pan or something?"

Yue Jiuyue:......

Spare her! There are a hundred thousand reasons why, she is not a Du Niang, don’t ask her, she doesn’t know anything!

Yue Jiuyue only answered the part she knew.

"I'll show them to you soon and you'll know."

Mrs. Liu nodded subconsciously, but then she felt something was wrong. Her mother-in-law hadn't told her why this thing was called "grilled rice" or when she got it, but her intuition told her,

Can't ask anymore.

So, she nodded again, and then quietly listened to Yue Jiuyue's instructions, sometimes holding the spoon, sometimes holding the firewood, and finally completed the preparations.

Yue Jiuyue looked at the griddle covered with several small stone slabs, the pancake batter on the left, and the pile of firewood on the right, and nodded happily.

Not to mention, although Ms. Liu made her feel quite irritated when she transformed into "One Hundred Thousand Whys", Ms. Liu was really neat at work and she didn't need to intervene at all.

"Look, that's it, wipe the griddle with oil first, so that when you spread out the pancakes, the pancakes will not stick to the griddle.

Pour another spoonful of paste into the middle of the griddle, and then use a spatula to spread the paste evenly over the griddle.

Use the scraper to scrape a few more times, and the pancakes will be thin, soft, and chewy. Don't be lazy. If you scrape less, the pancakes will be thick, rough, and have a bad taste.

When you see that the pancakes are turning yellow, use a shovel to scoop them out, lift your buttocks and reach out, lift up the pancakes, and place them on the curtain."

Yue Jiuyue wiped the griddle with oil again, and when he spread out the second pancake, he also reminded Mrs. Liu:

"Actually, this first pancake is not very delicious, but we poor people don't have to pay attention to it, so we can just make do with it to fill our stomachs."

Mrs. Liu agreed 100% with these words. She nodded while keeping her eyes on Yue Jiuyue spreading pancakes.
Chapter completed!
