Chapter 8 Milk Taro Balls

 Listening to the voice, Xiao Nianzhi turned his head: "I tried to make a dessert with milk. Would you like me to try it?"

While he was talking, Xiao Nianzhi had already walked over with a bowl of milk and taro balls.

After listening to Xiao Nianzhi's words, Aunt Yu lowered her eyebrows and looked at the contents of the bowl.

The desserts in the bowl are colorful, and the small dumplings cut into almost the same size are round and cute, and plump and delicious. They are soaked in milk, looming, and contrasting with the red beans. No matter how it tastes,

Just a little bit of appearance, it’s already quite good.

Aunt Yu swallowed her saliva quietly, and her voice became softer unconsciously: "Okay."

After receiving Aunt Yu's affirmative answer, Xiao Nianzhi took the bowl back, put it on the tray, and carried the two bowls together to the stone table outside.

After seeing Aunt Yu sit down, Xiao Nianzhi brought a bowl to her, then sat on the opposite side, took another bowl from the tray, lowered his head and took a sip first.

She had tasted it when it was made just now, and it tasted really good.

She added extra white sugar to each of these round little fatties in the bowl to increase the sweetness and texture, so the taro balls are chewy and sweet when chewed.

The dense red beans are also soft, glutinous and sweet. When paired with milk, it will not make people feel greasy. Instead, it will leave a fragrance on the lips and teeth, leaving an endless aftertaste.

This was a novel dessert that Aunt Yu had never seen before, so she looked at it for a while and then slowly moved the spoon.

Aunt Yu only scooped up two little fat balls at a time, one was golden and the other was as pure white as snow.

The yellow fat man has a faint pumpkin fragrance, but also has the sweetness of sugar. The white fat man has a bit of taro softness, but because of the addition of tapioca flour, it has increased gluten and a little more elastic texture.

A little sweetness from white sugar makes it taste better.

Along with the two little fatties was half a dense red bean. Its soft and fragrant texture, coupled with the refreshing taste of milk, made Aunt Yu squint her eyes in enjoyment.

After taking one bite, Aunt Yu unconsciously scooped up a second bite. After chewing it carefully, she nodded with appreciation: "Not bad."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Yu felt that these two words were not enough, and quickly nodded: "Your skills are very good, not inferior to those of the royal chefs."

After receiving praise, Xiao Nianzhi was not proud and smiled modestly: "It's my aunt who prefers me."

In response, Aunt Yu just shook her head helplessly: "You are quite tactful."

Xiao Nianzhi eats well and doesn’t talk much.

Aunt Yu didn't say anything more and concentrated on enjoying the food.

When finishing the meal and putting away the bowls, Xiao Nianzhi asked softly: "Auntie, I had to take care of Aunt Rich and the others last night. I thought I could share some with them. Is that okay?"

It’s really good to have a good relationship with the people in the kitchen.

And since they are all aunts and wives, they won’t cause any unpleasant things.

So, Aunt Yu nodded: "Well, bring them over during dinner in the evening. Aunt Ye and Aunt Gu should be there by then. Aunt Gu has a cold face, but she is actually quite nice. Don't be scared by her.

Arrive."

Xiao Nianzhi nodded obediently: "Hey, I listen to my aunt."

During lunch, Xiao Nianzhi did see two unfamiliar aunts, one with a smile and the other with a cold face, but neither of them looked at her.

Xiao Nianzhi didn't care at that time. In terms of handling interpersonal relationships, this is how it is. No matter how well you do, there will always be people who don't like you.

She has Xiao Siye as her backer and Aunt Yu as her thigh. She just needs to handle her interpersonal relationships well. There is no need to please others in everything.

In the afternoon, two people continued watering.

Because the water pipe issue has not been resolved yet, we still have to water it manually.

The two of them worked for an hour, spending countless hours paddling and fishing.

As soon as the You hour arrived, Aunt Yu immediately put the bucket back and signaled to Xiao Nianzhi: "Okay, have a rest, let's go have dinner at the end of the You hour."

Three hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.

Xiao Nianzhi feels that these words don’t need to be heard by 996 and 007. If people who work from 9 to 5 hear this, they will turn into red-eyed and crazy literature lovers!

While watering just now, the two of them picked some peaches and came back.

Aunt Yu didn't keep it herself, so she asked Xiao Nianzhi to take it back to the room and keep it to eat slowly.

Xiao Nianzhi did not refuse, thinking in her mind, how to eat so many peaches?

An hour of fishing time passed quickly. At the end of Youshi, Xiao Nianzhi and Aunt Yu went to the cafeteria to eat.

Aunt Cui was also on duty at this time. When she saw Xiao Nianzhi, she hurriedly waved to her: "Yuan Niang, come here quickly."

Aunt Yu is happy to see that Xiao Nianzhi gets along well with them. This way, the little girl can be taken care of wherever she goes, and she can feel more at ease.

Xiao Nianzhi quickly went over, and Aunt Cui took out two pears from her sleeves: "I brought two of the pears that my family stored last winter for you. Put them away soon, and save them for sweet snacks after dinner."

Fruit is now a luxury product for many people.

In many villages, there are not even two fruit trees in the whole village.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi was very grateful for the other party's kindness. She pushed him politely, but when she couldn't push him, she thanked Aunt Cui.

After thanking him, Xiao Nianzhi put the food box in his hand on the table beside the stove and explained with a smile: "I couldn't sleep at noon, so I thought about a dessert and brought it to a few aunts to try.



Aunt Cui's eyes lit up when she heard it was made by Xiao Nianzhi.

The rich aunt who had tasted her craftsmanship also came. After hearing what the two people said, Aunt Ye came over curiously.

Aunt Gu still had a cold face, took off her apron, hung it on the wall, and strode away without looking back.

The other party walked so fast that Xiao Nianzhi didn't even have time to call out.

The rich aunt was afraid that the little girl would think too much, so she hurriedly reached out and patted Xiao Nianzhi's shoulder: "Don't worry about her, she is just such a good-natured person, she has no bad intentions. Come, let me see what treasures you have brought."

The rich aunt's words immediately brought everyone's attention back.

The food box is opened, and there are two layers inside, with a total of four bowls of freshly made milk taro balls.

The aunts had never eaten this thing, and they only looked at it delicately, like something eaten by nobles. They looked at each other, and the rich aunt asked in a low voice: "Yuan Niang, what is this...?"

"Milk taro balls." Xiao Nianzhi first said the name, and then explained the approximate ingredients.

Of course, things like dense red beans and white sugar must be said to be brought from home.

When she heard that it was an exclusive recipe of red beans and white sugar, the rich aunt exclaimed: "Yuan Niang, keep this for yourself. When the little girl is growing, she can't lose her mouth."

Although Aunt Cui and Aunt Ye are curious and greedy, they will not be greedy for such a thing.

The red beans and white sugar sounded very expensive, so the two of them started to give in and were too embarrassed to eat them.
