Afterwards, Aunt Xue began to boil goat milk or cow milk.
Add icing sugar and glutinous rice flour to the goat milk, stir well with a whisk until the icing sugar is completely melted.
Then cook over low heat, stirring constantly while cooking.
It is not watery at first and not thick at all. As the temperature rises, the milk will gradually thicken.
When it becomes a very thick paste, remove the milk jug from the heat.
Because the temperature outside the pot is very high, please continue stirring for a while to keep the mix smooth and not lumpy.
Then use a spatula to pour the milk paste into an oiled wooden plate while it's hot, smooth the surface as much as possible, take it outside and let it cool.
Then Aunt Xue prepared a bowl of glutinous rice flour, a bowl of egg liquid, and fried dried steamed bun crumbs.
When everything was ready, the milk paste had solidified into milk jelly, and Aunt Xue cut it into finger-wide pieces.
Use a flat spoon to scoop up a piece of custard and roll it in glutinous rice flour to lock in the moisture. Then roll it in egg liquid, then roll it in steamed bun crumbs and fry it in a pan over low heat.
Fry until golden brown, take it out and place it on a plate lined with dried lotus leaves. The crispy milk cake is a success.
"Little lady, come and have a taste." Aunt Xue took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Yingbao: "Be careful of burning them."
Ying Bao took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of crispy milk cake and took a bite.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the outside, your mouth is instantly filled with the rich, sweet milky flavor.
"It's so delicious." Yingbao ate a piece and wanted to eat it, a little bit unsatisfied.
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "The milk cake is delicious freshly fried, but it doesn't taste very good if it has been left for a long time, so our shop does not sell it freshly fried.
If it’s not convenient for you to fry it, you can just coat the custard with a layer of sugar bean powder, which will be delicious.”
"Thank you, ma'am, for letting me know." Yingbao thanked her.
She knew about the sugar bean powder because Yanru, the second uncle, knew how to make it.
Just wash the soybeans, fry them in a pot, grind them into powder, pass them through a sieve to leave a fine powder, add the powdered sugar and stir evenly.
That kind of sugar bean powder is very sweet, and it is used as filling in many kinds of pastries, or sprinkled on the outer layer.
After learning how to make crispy milk cake, Yingbao said goodbye and left the kitchen.
She went to the front hall to look for her cousin, but she didn't find him. Not even Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu were there. There was a little golden boy riding a bamboo horse around in the yard.
Yingbao walked over and asked, "Golden boy, have you seen his elder brother?"
The golden boy nodded, wiped his nose, pointed at a moon door and said: "Sister took brother to feed the fish."
Yingbao glanced at the Moon Gate, that place should be the outer courtyard.
My cousin's brain is broken, so he goes to the outer courtyard with his girl to feed the fish?
Yingbao quickly ran over to check.
As soon as you enter the Moon Gate, you will see a wall of flower shadows separating your sight.
The wall of Nazhidong is not high, and there are carved windows at the top. Through the flower windows, you can see the scene in the outer courtyard, but Yingbao is short, and he can't see the scene inside even if he stands on tiptoe.
Suddenly she saw Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu lying on the flower window, peeking inside furtively.
"Uncle Qiu, Aunt Qiu." Ying Bao called out.
Qiu Furun and his wife were startled, turned around and looked over, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yingbao.
"Oh, he is begging my brother to have dinner." Aunt Qiu came over with a smile, took Ying Bao's legs and led her away from the flower wall. She winked at her husband as she walked outside.
Qiu Fu suddenly understood, coughed, and called outside the flower wall: "Rong'er, the wine table is set. Please invite shopkeeper Jiang to come over for dinner."
"Hey!" Qiu Rong's crisp voice came from outside the flower wall.
Aunt Qiu brought Yingbao to a flower hall. There were some dishes and chopsticks placed on the square table outside the flower hall. A kitchen lady was bringing a hot water kettle in to pour tea.
After a while, Qiu Fuli also walked in with her legs on her back, followed by her son Jintong, followed by Jiang Cheng, and behind Jiang Cheng was Miss Qiu Rong.
After a group of people came in, they took their seats one by one.
Ying Bao glanced at her cousin and saw that he behaved calmly and looked natural, feeling a little relieved.
It seemed that Miss Qiu Rong really wanted to take him to feed the koi, and there was no ambiguity between the two.
During the dinner, Qiu Fuyong praised his daughter openly and secretly. Jiang Chengcheng pretended not to understand, agreed casually but said nothing else, and just immersed himself in eating.
Aunt Qiu began to praise Yingbao again for how smart she was and asked her daughter to play with Yingbao more in the future.
Yingbao naturally agreed.
She just learned how to make pastry, so she can't turn her back on him.
After the meal, Qiu Fulin personally sent the brothers and sisters back, and soon brought two boxes of crispy milk cakes freshly made at home to give to Yingbao.
At noon that day, Jiang Cheng went to pick up Yuanbao from his private school. Early the next morning, he locked the doors of the shop and the backyard, and returned home with his younger siblings and two large baskets of gifts.
Yingbao originally wanted to buy some goat's milk or cow's milk in the county town and make crispy milk cakes for her family to try when she went back, but it turned out that she couldn't buy it.
If you have no choice, you can separate the two boxes of milk cakes given by Uncle Qiu, give one to Yuan Bao, and take the other to your brother.
A cart with a thin horse doesn't go very fast, but it's not slow either. It's about the same as a donkey cart.
The clever pony didn't even need a tether, and followed the thin horse all the way without falling behind.
Ru Ming's two horses have basically recovered, but they need to be nursed back to health slowly, and they will not be truly healthy until they grow fat.
"Yingbao, where did I put all my money?" The little cousin didn't send the money to the bank, which made Jiang Quan very curious.
It's more than a thousand taels and a hundred pounds. Where did she hide it?
Ying Bao patted a locked wooden box beside her: "Over there." Actually, it wasn't there. She had kept it in the cave.
Jiang Quan looked at the wooden box a few times, very suspicious.
The box he carried in the carriage was a bit heavy, but it didn't weigh a hundred pounds.
Forget it, why are you worrying so much? Anyway, my little cousin is as good at hiding things as anyone.
···
As the saying goes, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, steam the noodles; on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, steam the steamed buns.
The three sisters-in-law of the Jiang family work together to make red bean steamed buns, steamed buns with three delicacies and steamed buns.
The first steamed basket was tasted by old man Jiang and his wife Jiang Liu, and then it was the turn of the children and grandchildren.
Ying Bao and her brothers each took two fresh steamed buns and ran out to practice fighting in the martial arts field.
There were also children from the village who came to practice, but most of them just watched and kept shouting and cheering.
After a practice session, Ying Bao walked to the stone bench on the sidelines to rest, and saw Chu Chu, a newlywed in a green coat, holding a bowl of sweet soy milk over to her.
"Well, let me have a taste of what he just cooked." With a sweet smile on Chu Chu's face, she walked beside Ying Bao and said coquettishly, "I won't come back if he gets married, otherwise I'll forget about him."
Yingbao blinked.
She had indeed forgotten before, but fortunately she remembered it when she was buying New Year's gifts, so she specially bought a set of silver and turquoise beads for Chu Chu.
She took out the silver beads flowers from her pocket and stuffed them into Chu Chu's legs: "He picked them in the county town as a wedding gift for me."
Chu Chu opened the silk bag, picked up two silver bead flowers, inserted them on both sides of her bun, and asked: "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Yingbao nodded and took a sip of sweet soy milk, which was fragrant.
Chu Chu is so beautiful now, her face is like a delicate flower, charming and moving, even if there is a birthmark on her forehead, it does not ruin her appearance at all.
Chu Chu hugged Ying Bao and thanked her in a low voice: "Thank you, Ying Bao."
If Yingbao hadn't taken her in and given her money and bacteria, she might have been married to someone in that village by her father. But she would never be able to see the scenery outside the ravine, and how could she meet someone like Zhang Lang?
