Chapter 67 - 066 Bag of Fruit
Tian Sisi arrived home with her hair in disarray, puffing up her cheeks as she complained to Li Yuedi, "Second Lady, look what Brother Xin Hua did to my hair."
Li Yuedi chuckled and gently patted Tian Xinhua a few times, "Alright, Second Lady has scolded your Brother Xin Hua. Ah Nan, don’t be mad anymore, let Second Lady fix your hair."
Li Yuedi was very skillful, and quickly restored the messy hair back to its original state, "There, now you’re back to being a beautiful little Ah Nan."
Tian Xinhua mixed the blanched Qingming grass into a bowl of rice flour, which was half glutinous rice flour and half late rice flour, making the Qingming Cake chewy. After mixing the blanched Qingming grass with the rice flour evenly, he added boiling water and began kneading. It’s essential to use boiling water for the dough to become elastic. As Tian Xinhua added more water and kneaded, Tian Shouhua did the same, each with a basin, energetically kneading the dough.
This time, Granny Zhao really invested a lot, planning not only to give some to the girls from yesterday but also to Tian Family’s relatives and friends, and to reserve some for her own family. Considering this, she brought out about thirty pounds of rice flour. The old tofu had already been prepared, weighing about ten pounds, and the Old Man dug about ten pounds of winter bamboo shoots. Tian Sisi was sent to fetch about twenty pounds of pork belly. Li Yuedi was quite surprised by the amount of ingredients Granny Zhao had prepared.
"Sister-in-law, how many cakes are you planning to make?"
"Since we’re making them, might as well make plenty. I’ll send some to our family’s relatives and friends, as well as the young girls who helped find Ah Nan and our own girls. I calculated, and these ingredients might not even be enough." Granny Zhao peeled the bamboo shoots and blanched them, smiling and speaking confidently since Ah Nan had the help of Lord Bai Yuan.
Li Yuedi quickly brought out the ingredients she had brought, smiling and saying, "I have some more here. This year I’ll be a bit lazy; I won’t make the cakes myself. After you finish making them, just give us some to eat."
