Chapter 68 - Bean Paste Dumplings 1
After Chen Xiayue harvested rice again, she no longer planted all rice. She planted half an mu of rice, half an mu of sweet potatoes and half an mu of corn on one and a half mu of land.
After Chen Xiayue pulled the grass for a while, she didn’t want to dry it anymore. After leaving the weeds in an open place to bask in the sun, she carried the bench back to the house.
After she entered the farm, she came to the store. Because there is only one customer like Ans, the store does not need to be guarded all the time.
When Chen Xiayue came over, Ans was not online either. Chen Xiayue looked at the kitchen and planned to make some snacks or something.
Now she has flour, rice flour, sweet potato flour and other ingredients here, Chen Xiayue thought about what snacks she could make. Some dim sum cannot be made without glutinous rice flour, tapioca flour, etc.
But Chen Xiayue thought about it, and she can make cakes. She has flour, eggs and cream, so she can make cream cakes.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiayue plans to make bean paste dumplings. Of course, bean paste is not grown on her farm. She has not unlocked the two crops of red beans and mung beans.
But she and Ans exchanged a lot of grains, including red beans, mung beans, soybeans, peas, broad beans, black beans, etc., as well as sesame, sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts and the like.
Chen Xiayue took out all the flour, lard, sugar, eggs, bean paste and sesame seeds. The above materials are needed to make bean paste dumplings.
First make the water and oil skin, sieve the flour, then add sugar, lard, eggs and water to knead the noodles. After the dough is full and smooth, cover with a damp cloth and set it aside to wake up the noodles.
Repeat the same steps to make the oily heart, but this time you need flour and lard, no need to add Qingshui River eggs, knead the dough and put it aside.
Chen Xiayue took out both the red bean paste and the mung bean paste. She planned to make two flavors of bean paste dumplings. Although the red bean paste was more suitable, Chen Xiayue preferred the mung bean paste.
Roll the bean paste into **** and put them aside, then divide the oily core and the water-oiled skin into small doughs and small doses, then wrap the oily core with the water-oiled skin, roll it into a strip, fold it in three, and dry it into thin slices.
After wrapping the puff pastry in the bean paste, pinch the sides tightly like dumplings. After wrapping, put them on the baking tray. Repeat the same action to wrap the water oil skin, oil core and bean paste.
After wrapping all the ingredients, brush egg wash on the dumplings and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Finally, put the wrapped dumplings in the oven to bake until cooked.
Chen Xiayue cooked a lot this time. So many people in the Zhang family have to eat. Of course, she also wants to save some for Ans to exchange for something good.
She is now making food and filming videos in the thatched hut on the farm, so that the farm system can directly record the steps of her cooking, but she does not have the opportunity and time to go to the farm to make food every time she is afraid of videos.
So Chen Xiayue intends to use these bean paste dumplings with Ans for the video. There should be a very hidden camera in the interstellar era, right? Even if she shoots a video outside, it won’t reveal the existence of the camera, right?
Chen Xiayue thought very happily, and when she made bean paste dumplings, she moved very neatly.
Fifteen minutes later, the bean paste dumplings were baked. After the first batch was baked, Chen Xiayue put the bean paste dumplings in the farm warehouse.
The farm warehouse is a very magical thing. I don’t know how big the space is, but all the food crops harvested on the farm can be stored in it, as well as other things. The things that Chen Xiayue traded and the food she made herself can also be put in.
What it looks like when you put it in, and what it looks like when you take it out, is equivalent to saying that this warehouse is similar to a space where time is still.
Chen Xiayue is also accustomed to storing things in the farm warehouse. For example, the various delicacies she made by herself are put in the warehouse to prevent them from getting cold or becoming bad for a long time.
Chen Xiayue continued to bake the next batch of bean paste dumplings. In addition to the bean paste dumplings, Chen Xiayue thought about it and made some mung bean cakes.
After Chen Xiayue made the mung bean cake, the bean paste dumplings were also baked. After the mung bean cake was put in and baked, Chen Xiayue was ready for today’s dinner.
I had eaten meat at noon, and Chen Xiayue didn’t plan to make any meat for dinner.
Of course, she made meat for the dinner prepared by Ans. She prepared four dishes of boiled beef, shredded duck, and squirrel mandarin fish.
Then Chen Xiayue prepared dinner for her family with vinegared cabbage, lettuce with oyster sauce, fried beans with shredded pork, and tomato and egg drop soup.
Chen Xiayue prepared all the dishes, and put the dinner prepared for Ans in the shop. Ans can take it directly when he comes.
Of course, the bean paste dumplings were also installed for Ans. She has a thermal insulation box prepared by Ans, so there is no need to worry about the food being cold when it is placed in the store and waiting for Ans to come over to pick it up.
After dinner and snacks were ready, Chen Xiayue left the farm space, and it was almost time when she came out. Zhang Deping and the others should be off work soon, and Zhang Chengchuan should be back soon.
“Daughter-in-law, I’m back—” Zhang Chengchuan, who was carrying a large load of firewood, went home first. After putting the firewood under the eaves, he patted his body, looked at Chen Xiayue who was carrying the vegetables, and said, “My mother and father are back. Yet?”
“Not yet.” Chen Xiayue shook her head, “Go and shout, it’s almost time to get off work at this time.”
“Oh, then let me shout.” Zhang Chengchuan nodded, put down the straw hat and hatchet, and went out to find his parents.
Zhang Deping and Liu Guiying soon came back with their son. The family sat at the dining table, looking at the white rice and three dishes and one soup in front of them.
At noon, there was such a delicious meat that I didn’t cook dry rice. As a result, I was vegetarian at night and prepared dry rice. Zhang Deping and Liu Guiying didn’t respond, and some of them were good.
And whether it’s meat dishes or vegetarian dishes, the daughter-in-law’s craftsmanship is very good, and the food she makes is very fragrant, and they like it very much.
However, Liu Guiying still likes to say a few words, “What kind of dry rice do you cook? Where do you get so much rice to cook dry rice? And it’s still polished rice, which is a waste of money.”
Chen Xiayue smiled and didn’t say anything. Liu Guiying disliked her, especially when Zhang Chengchuan was doing laundry, helping her to set fires from time to time, and fighting her while she was cooking, which made her even more disliked.
Such a precious son of hers was so ordered by her daughter-in-law, and she didn’t break out into a fight with her daughter-in-law, it was already very good.
“It’s rare to buy rice. Let’s treat ourselves to a good meal.” Chen Xiayue smiled. Taking advantage of the fact that she came back from the county town to have a dry meal today, she used the pretext of buying rice from the county and taking out the rice she grew from the farm to eat. Chen Xiayue said I’m in a good mood.
As for the mother-in-law, when did she not say a few words to her in a strange way? It would be terrifying if she and her mother-in-law were really close as a mother and daughter.
