Jiang Xinyu finished cooking all the leftover mung beans from yesterday, and then started making Shaqima.
There was a square wooden plate at home, which was used to put melon seeds and peanut candies during the Chinese New Year. After she cleaned it, she used it as a mold.
The fluffy egg noodles coated in syrup and fried are pressed flat with a rolling pin while they are still hot. After cooling, they are poured out of the mold and cut into square chunks with a knife.
The Shaqima was covered with a layer of syrup, and she didn't have a packaging bag, so she could only cut it into larger pieces and let the person who bought it back cut it themselves.
Although she knew how to make it, she was still a bit unwieldy. She didn't cook much in the first pot because she was afraid that it would break into pieces when cutting. Fortunately, the knife at home was very sharp. She was somewhat talented at making pastries, and she was able to cut out four pieces.
The square chunks are complete.
After making it once, she cut out a small piece and tasted it. It was sweet and delicious, crispy and soft. Although it was full of oil and water, it was not greasy at all. It would be better if it was garnished with sweet and sour raisins.
However, the texture produced using old noodles is still not as good as that made using yeast powder, but it tastes sweet and does not hide the flaws, so it is still very good.
She started cooking the next pot without stopping.
When Chen Xiuyun came back in the middle of the afternoon, Jiang Xinyu had already made four pots and was probably weighing more than ten pounds.
If she hadn't destroyed all the eggs at home, left a little bit of sugar, and lost all the old faces, she could have continued to cook these good things.
Chen Xiuyun looked at the small yellow squares with a sweet aroma that made people appetizing. She could think of its sweet and delicious taste before taking it into her mouth. When she took it into her mouth, the sweet taste conquered her at once.
The largest department store in Shanghai sells saqima. I heard that this thing used to be a palace snack. I have bought it at home before. The taste is slightly different, but it is still delicious.
Tomorrow Ding Changhai is going to the county to deliver goods. The family has been busy making goods these two days in order to catch up with the first sale.
I have made an agreement with Chen Yi that he will come back to deliver the goods in the evening.
Today Chen Yi went to the Qinghe Brigade to show a movie. It was already after seven o'clock when the movie was finished, and it was nearly ten o'clock when he arrived at the Wuliqiao Brigade.
It was already late at night, and there were only sporadic barkings of dogs in the team.
There was a lot of mung bean cake, but it was difficult to put it into a sack for fear of being crushed, so I simply put a stick across the back seat and carried the two sacks one to the left and the other to the right.
Jiang Xinyu also saved the mung bean cake and Shaqima for Ding Changhai's family to try, wrapping them in paper and putting them in a small cloth pocket.
While Chen Xiuyun and Chen Yi were loading bags, Jiang Xinyu took the listless Xiao Hei out for a walk.
The focus of her inspection was the forest belt in front, back, left, and right of the courtyard and at the entrance to the village.
Xiao Hei's energy has not yet recovered, his tail is hanging down and he is not barking, but his eyes are wandering around very vigilantly.
After making sure that no one was watching, Chen Yi rode his bicycle to the town.
There was not enough food at home, so this time Chen Xiuyun directly gave Chen Yi fifty yuan and asked him to bring something back.
When Chen Yi arrived at Ding Changhai's house, Ding Changhai was still awake. He was packing things in the cellar that he would take to the county tomorrow.
Chen Yi brought a lot of things. Mung bean cake and Shaqima were all packed in packages, which were very good to order.
Zhao Ying tasted the mung bean cake and Sachima given by Jiang Xinyu, and immediately decided to keep a pack of Sachima at home. It was sweet, soft, and rich in oil and water. Who wouldn't like to eat it?
A pack of mung bean cake cost 60 cents, and a pack of Shaqima cost 1 yuan. Ding Changhai settled the bill for Chen Yi on the spot. Chen Yi bought eight jins of white sugar, fifty jins of mung beans, forty jins of flour, and two cans.
Malted milk.
"Shaqima can only be stored for three days in this weather. It is different from the packaged one. You need to make it clear to the buyer."
Ding Changhai nodded, "Of course."
"I still have more than 200 kilograms of mung beans. I can't get more recently. If you want them, I'll keep them all for you."
Of course Chen Yi wanted it, but he couldn't take it all back today. He asked about red dates and chestnuts, and both asked for thirty kilograms each, and fifty eggs.
Ding Changhai calculated all the things he wanted to take away, compared it with the amount of cakes sent, and paid Chen Yi another eleven and eight dollars.
From this account, we can see that finished food is much more expensive than grain.
"In addition to Uncle He's line, I have other lines. If you can do more, I'll take them all."
Chen Yi's eyebrows moved slightly, feeling that Ding Changhai's business was bigger than he thought, and this man was really courageous.
After talking for a while, Chen Yi carried his things and walked back.
The car was full when we came, and it was still full when we went back.
The night was already deep, and it would be dawn in a few hours. There was not even a shadow of a ghost on the road.
Chen Xiuyun was afraid of making any noise at night, so she left the door latch inside and locked the door. She gave the key to Chen Yi so that he could unlock the courtyard by himself when he rode back.
The gap between the courtyard door and the fence wall is not big enough for a person to get in, but one can reach out and take out the lock from inside.
Jiang Xinyu woke up when Chen Yi went in to unload her things.
She had not slept well in the first place, fearing that something would happen to him.
While the two were stacking things, Chen Xiuyun also got dressed and came out.
The three of them exchanged a few words, and Chen Yi handed Chen Xiuyun the proceeds and the five big tickets, and also gave her the "bill" that Ding Changhai handed him.
Jiang Xinyu didn't sleep well for two consecutive nights, so she went back to the house and fell asleep in the dark.
Chen Yi arrived at the door of Zhang Tiezhu's house and threw more than 30 cents into his yard.
This old bachelor has no money in his hands recently, and he has no money to go to the county to play cards, so he can only create conditions for him.
If the old bachelor doesn't go, he can only think of other damaging ways.
There is a woman in her early forties in the Qinghe Brigade. Her eyes look at people like hooks. She is different from Yuan Chunhua. Yuan Chunhua works with other men to get something to support the family, but that woman is not like that. I heard that she used to be
The young wife of a certain big landowner lived a life of wealth and wealth.
Many men from the Qinghe brigade have gone to visit, and the gossip they gather in private is really unpleasant. When Chen Yi goes to the countryside to play movies, it is inevitable that he will hear some rumors.
There is still room for maneuver if you spend some money to let this woman send the old bachelor to be renovated.
But he really didn't want to do such a damaging thing unless he had to.
Two days passed by in a flash, and Jiang Xinyu turned into a ruthless pastry-making machine. Shaqima could not be left alone for long. All she and Chen Xiuyun made together were mung bean cakes for the time being.
When Fang Xiaobing went to fetch water with her, the elders and ladies in the village gathered together and were talking lively.
Jiang Xinyu caught the key point after listening to it twice. Zhang Tiezhu, the bastard, got in because he was playing money, but the amount was small. Those who were caught were sent to work in the phosphate fertilizer factory. Others were fifteen days old, and Zhang Tiezhu was playing money.
I was lucky and earned quite a lot. When I was arrested, I tried to escape and beat the police twice. This time I had to rehabilitate myself three months longer than others.
I finished reading "Ancient Lovesickness" in one go last night. It was really good. I highly recommend it.
