She thought that she had run out of milk powder at home, so she went to Li Wu and bought two cans of milk powder, as well as flour and glutinous rice, and carried them to the tree where Li Xiangyang was squatting.
"Xiangyang, Sister Liqun has also started making tofu. Could you please order a truck of coal for me at the end of the month?"
Li Xiangyang smiled and nodded: "Okay! I killed a big fat pig today, and I'll keep the suet for you."
"Okay! Save any good suet for me when it gets cold." Lin Lan thought about it and said, "I plan to make pumpkin cakes today. You can close the stall and come to my house to bring some back to Uncle Li and Xiuyun.
"
"Well!" Li Xiangyang took out the vegetable basket from the back of the folder, which was filled with white suet and four pig's trotters. "You keep two and give two to Grandma Yang."
"Okay!" Lin Lan took it with a smile, paid for the suet, and walked back with the vegetable basket.
Yang Liying had already packed up the stall, and the two of them took out their poles and walked back. Along the way, they met several members of the team who were selling vegetables home.
When Lin Lan got home, Xiaodouzi had already come back from school. As soon as he saw her, he said, "Mom, I won't come back until I finish my homework."
"Mom makes a lot of things. After finishing her homework, she will send the pig's trotters to the grandma. When Dandan finishes her homework, she will ask the grandma to come over and eat pumpkin pie with her."
After a while, the two pig trotters were split into ten pieces, put in a pot and boiled in water.
The old lady waved her hands and said with a smile: "You go and do your work. I'll go to the backyard to see the chickens you feed."
Xiaodouzi thought about it and said, "Mom said tofu brain is delicious. Third aunt can make some tofu brain anytime."
Xiaodouzi pouted and said: "Mom said, you have to give me feedback after eating, so that she can improve!"
Just as I was about to trim the pig's trotters, Xiaodouzi and Dandan came.
"Okay! After I dig the potatoes, I will plant all the vegetables in the private plot and pickle them for next year." Lin Lan said and brought her a chair. "You sit down for a while and I will go and see if the dough has risen."
"It smells good! I added milk powder and eggs, and it tastes milky and fragrant." Lin Lan picked it up with bamboo clips, put it on a plate, and handed it to Dandan, "Let it dry before eating."
"No need to fry it today, I guarantee it will taste better than that day."
Lin Lan smiled proudly and said: "It tastes better when it's hot."
Dig it out and roll it into strips, pick out the ingredients, roll it into a ball, wrap it in white sesame seeds and press it into a round cake, then brush some oil on it and put it in a baking pan to rise.
Yang Liying looked at Xiaodouzi holding a pig's trotter in one hand, and sighed, thinking that the youngest had been gone for so long, and she had never heard Xiaodouzi say that she missed her father, and she never asked where his father was.
Lin Lan took out the baking pan and put it in a small bamboo frame. She tasted one and felt that it tasted better than before. She picked up the baking pan and said with a smile: "You guys eat slowly! I'll bake the rest."
"Oh!" Xiaodouzi thought for a moment, "Mom, the fried pumpkin cake is too oily and doesn't taste good!"
"Don't worry, let's wait and see for two days after setting up the stall. If the sales are still good, I will send it to you!"
"Hmm!" The two children walked towards the eaves carrying plates.
When the pumpkin cakes were placed on all four baking sheets, Lin Yuezhen had already fired up the oven, put them in the oven and baked them for twenty minutes before taking them out.
Lin Lan nodded and took a look. The noodles were already awake.
Two children gathered around the baking pan: "Mom, (aunt) smells so good!"
"Okay!" Yang Liying smiled and walked away with the pumpkin cake.
Yang Liying took it with a smile: "Okay, I'll bring you some of the old pumpkins at home."
Was it because the youngest was treating him badly when he was around, or was it because he was such a young person that he understood that his father was dead and would never be seen again?
Thinking of this, she rubbed her face sadly, picked up the tofu handkerchief and tofu frame and walked towards the backyard.
"Third Aunt, this is more delicious than fried ones." Xiaodouzi and Dandan came over eating pumpkin pie and said.
Lin Lan picked up some and put them in a paper bag and handed them to Yang Liying: "Third sister, take some back to Xiaoyun and the others."
Lin Lan added beaten eggs and milk powder to the pumpkin puree, then added flour and glutinous rice flour several times, and finally added a small amount of powdered sugar. After mixing evenly, she kneaded it into a smooth dough, covered the basin and let it rise.
"Go and play for a while. I'll call you when I'm done."
"Oh! Let's go skipping rope." The two of them ran out hand in hand.
Yang Liying picked him up with a smile on her face and said, "Young lady! What do you think of Third Aunt's tofu? How does it taste?"
Lin Lan put the two pig's trotters on the stove and cooked them until they were brown. He used a knife to scrape off the pig hair and white old skin in the cracks between the tips of the hooves. He poured hot water to clean them. He opened the spring knife and cut two pieces of pig trotters from the back.
Make a knife in the middle of the toe, and slit it firmly along the joint seam from top to bottom.
She calculated that pumpkins cost two cents a pound, and the only ingredients used were sesame seeds and milk powder. Eggs were more expensive. If all the costs were shared equally, she could still make a profit if she sold them for two cents each.
Lin Lan washed her hands and went into the kitchen. Lin Yuezhen opened the lid on the chopping board. There was already crushed pumpkin puree in the porcelain basin. Three pumpkin purees filled most of the porcelain basin.
Xiaodouzi nodded repeatedly: "Yes! I will send pig trotters to the old lady."
"Auntie, are the pumpkin cakes ready?" Dandan rushed in like a cannonball.
Yang Liying looked at the golden pumpkin cake in the baking pan and marveled: "The pumpkin cake looks so good when baked!"
Lin Yuezhen nodded and went to the backyard.
After she put all the remaining pancakes into the baking pan, brothers Li Xiangyang and Wang Zhixue entered the yard together.
Lin Lan smiled and said: "We just made peace with each other, have you finished your homework?"
Dandan nodded: "After I finished writing, I also taught my brother how to read."
Yang Liying smiled and patted him: "Little thing, your mouth is getting more and more naughty. The fried pumpkin cake is still not delicious."
Yang Liying kissed him lovingly: "Okay, it's not easy to eat tofu nao. Third aunt will make it for you tomorrow!"
"Sister, after you clean the things for the stall, fire up the oven. I'll make the pumpkin pie and bake it."
The old lady also nodded: "Fried food is difficult to digest, and baked food is much softer."
The old lady slowly walked into the yard. When she saw the radish seedlings and celery growing in the vegetable field, she smiled and said: "It's getting cold. I have cauliflower seeds and vegetable seeds. I will bring them over and spread them on you."
side."
After eating it, Yang Liying and Lin Yuezhen also felt that it tasted better than fried food and was not cloying.
When the two brothers Wang Zhixue saw the old lady, they said happily: "Grandma, how are you?"
The old lady smiled and nodded, "Okay, this is the first time I have been hospitalized in decades." Then she pointed to the pumpkin cake on the table: "Xiang Yang, come and try the pumpkin cake made by Lin Lan."
"I'm just here to eat pumpkin pie." Li Xiangyang smiled and walked to the bamboo chair next to her and sat down. Wangcai waggled his tail and lay down next to him.
The old lady looked at him and winked at him mischievously: "Lin Lan is very handy. She can turn anything we are tired of eating into delicious food in exchange for money."
