NCCnovel Chapter 140 Brown Sugar Mochi
Chapter 140 Brown Sugar Mochi
Shen Yanchen knew something about Yuexin. When he was a child, his mother would feel unwell for a few days every month and would not let him bother her.
When he grew up, he learned about this from other sources and never investigated it again.
Thinking of the question Xu Si asked, he felt embarrassed but still asked, "Is this serious?"
Xu Si originally thought that he would not talk about this again, and was a little surprised, "It won't be serious after it's treated."
"Do you have enough money? If not, I have more."
Xu Si chuckled. If any other man said this, she would praise him for being generous, but this little boy was sincere in what he said.
She firmly believes that those who are willing to spend money on you do not necessarily love you, and those who are unwilling to spend money on you definitely do not love you. This is applicable to both men and women.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Yanchen's puzzled voice came.
"Nothing, are you so willing to give it up?"
"Give it up."
Shen Yanchen's heart was beating a little faster, and he inexplicably felt that his answer was declaring something.
"But no need, mom will pay for me." Xu Si felt warm in her heart. It's not that she couldn't afford it, but she was still happy to be treated like a child.
She yawned and said, "Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."
The next day, Qinghuan sat next to two clay pots, fanning the fire with a small fan from time to time, then opening the lid and stirring with chopsticks. The air was filled with the smell of medicine.
When Xu Si came over, the medicine for both of them had just been prepared. Qinghuan filled out the medicine for the afternoon and put it in the cabinet.
"Second sister-in-law, the big bowl on the left is yours." Qinghuan was afraid of confusion, so she specially used two bowls of different sizes.
"Okay, thank you Qinghuan."
Xu Si picked up her own bowl of medicine. Before she even drank it, she smelled a strong bitter smell, which made her face wrinkle.
She actually thinks Chinese medicine is good, but she doesn’t like taking Chinese medicine because it’s too bitter.
She had to drink it eventually. If she stuck her head out, she would be cut. If she kept her head down, she would also be cut. She held her breath and gulped down the drink in one go.
I felt nauseous from head to stomach, and couldn't help but stick out my tongue. I felt a little urge to cum.
Qinghuan came in from outside with a package in her hand. Seeing her like this, she hurried forward.
"Second sister-in-law, why are you drinking so fast? I asked you to bring some food over so you can drink more slowly later."
"I just, I just feel..."
Xu Si originally wanted to say that he just felt like finishing the drink as soon as possible so that he could be done with it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the smell of the medicine became more and more obvious, and he felt like he was going to vomit if he continued to speak.
Qinghuan opened the oil paper and handed the contents to her.
Xu Si took a piece of mochi and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet osmanthus and milk flavors temporarily suppressed the bitter taste of the medicine. After swallowing it, he felt a lot better.
Seeing how many pieces of mochi were left, she took a few more slices of sweet potato chips and chewed them slowly. They were sweet and crispy.
Seeing that she was fine, Qinghuan picked up her medicine and drank it calmly. She put the bowl down and ate a little of the food in the oil paper bag out of habit. The whole process was so natural that Xu Si even wondered if he was being a little pretentious.
Seeing that the second sister-in-law looked at him with admiration, Qing Huan explained a little embarrassedly, "If you drink too much, you won't feel the bitterness. And with these snacks made by the second sister-in-law, the bitterness will soon disappear after drinking the medicine."
Xu Si felt a little distressed and pursed his lips. Although the girl lived in a honey pot, she actually grew up in a medicine jar.
I don’t know if I can add sugar to traditional Chinese medicine. I’m always afraid that it will affect the efficacy.
It would be nice if the medicine was sweet.
Suddenly it occurred to me that there is a medicine like this, a sugar pill for treating polio.
She remembered that when she was a child, she would be given a candy after getting an injection. It had a milky flavor and was super delicious. She never ate it again after that. Until now, she still thinks it is the most delicious candy she has ever eaten in her life.
Later, she learned about the actual effect of the sugar pill and felt that it was of great significance.
Seeing that there were not many snacks left in the oil paper bag, and now that two people were taking medicine and were eating faster, Xu Si planned to make some more.
After thinking about some sweet foods that could be kept for a long time, she decided to make some brown sugar mochi.
Lou Yuexin didn't let her do any housework, but she wouldn't stop her if she wanted to make some of her favorite food.
After buying some milk, Xu Si started making it immediately so that he could eat it in the afternoon.
The casserole used to cook the medicine has been washed clean. Add appropriate amounts of brown sugar, salt, flour, milk and oil into it. Turn to low heat and stir with a homemade egg beater until it becomes a paste.
Turn off the heat, pour in tapioca starch while it’s still hot, and stir evenly with a spatula.
When it cools down a little, add the egg liquid in small amounts several times and continue stirring.
After lifting the spatula, the batter will flow down in a triangle shape. Add some black sesame seeds and mix evenly.
The piping bags they have used have always been made by sticking wax paper into a funnel shape and then cutting a hole in the bottom.
Put the batter into a homemade piping bag and squeeze out balls of suitable size on the baking tray, leaving space between each ball to prevent them from sticking together when expanding.
Xu Si dipped his index finger in some warm water and flattened the tip of the lump.
The clay kiln has been burned for a while in advance and is almost preheated, so put the baking tray in.
It has been almost five months since the clay kiln was built. During this period, it has experienced wind, rain, frost and snow. The two semicircular ears are somewhat damaged. Sometimes Dahuang and Xiaobai use them to grind their teeth, and the ink painted on them has long been gone.
Xu Si plans to tear it down next year and rebuild it into a bigger one, which will also make mooncakes and other things more efficient.
Put on thick cotton gloves and take out the baking tray. The batter on it has expanded into big balls.
Without taking a closer look, she quickly returned to the kitchen with the baking tray.
"This is also called mochi?" Qinghuan was a little surprised. She thought it was the same as the one she made before.
"Yes, this is the roasted mochi with a chewy texture, and the one I made before is the soft and sticky mochi."
There is another kind of mochi, which is the soft kind that can be used as a condiment for milk tea or as a filling for pastries.
Qinghuan looked as if she knew something new, her eyes were wide open and she looked at Keaiai.
"Try it quickly."
Xu Si took one first and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a strong aroma of egg and sesame, and a slight sweetness from brown sugar.
There is fascia in the middle, which gives it a chewy feel.
I can’t imagine how delicious it would be if yogurt was poured into it.
After giving everyone a few, Xu Si and Qing Huan packed the remaining mochi one by one with oil paper to prevent them from getting damp and softening.
Knowing that the sister-in-law had a child, Xu Si gave her another wrapped one.
Qi Ning wanted Ping An to have a taste, so when Li the butcher came to collect the slop at night, Xu Si asked him to bring back a few, specifically pointing out that it was the little guy's gift to his friend.
