Chapter 225 Making Walnut and Date Cake
Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e were stunned when they heard this. Wang Hexiang said in amazement, "Wow, the world has really changed. There are so many new and interesting things. Panpan, you are really knowledgeable. People in our village now say that your house is the most fashionable in the whole town. Everyone is very envious."
Lin Xiu'e also agreed with a smile: "Yes, Panpan, when you have time one day, you must let us go to your new house to have a good look and broaden our horizons."
Su Panpan smiled and replied, "Okay, sister-in-law, auntie, when you're not busy in a while, you can come to town anytime and I'll show you around."
The three of them chatted lively and cheerful laughter could be heard from the yard from time to time.
After a while, Su Panpan stood up, said goodbye to Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e, and turned to walk home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Qin Mu and his children had already peeled half a basin of walnuts.
"Wow, you two are pretty quick!" Su Panpan joked with a smile.
"Of course I'm waiting for you to come back and prepare something delicious!" Xiaoxiao said with blinking eyes.
Su Panpan smiled and went forward to help.
She reached out and grabbed a walnut, and peeled it skillfully.
After a while, the color of the walnut shell was stained on her hands, which were black, as if she had just dug something out of a coal pile.
Su Panpan glanced at her black hand, rolled her eyes, and looked at Yueyue beside her with a wicked smile.
"Yueyue, come here." Su Panpan waved to Yueyue.
Yueyue didn't understand what was going on, so she just went over obediently.
Su Panpan stretched out her black fingers and gently stroked Yueyue's face a few times, muttering, "Hey, let me draw a little clown face for you."
In an instant, Yueyue's fair and clean little face was covered with several black marks, making her look just like a little cat.
When everyone saw this, they were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
Xiaoxiao laughed so hard that she slammed her hands on the table and pointed at Yueyue, shouting, "Oh, Yueyue, you look so funny, you've really become a little cat!"
Qin Xiao also laughed so hard that tears almost came out. She held her stomach and said, "Haha, Mom, you are too mean. But this little cat is quite cute."
Qin Mu was also trying to suppress his laughter while peeling walnuts. After all, he was the steady elder brother, so he had some baggage!
As for Yueyue, she didn't react at first. But when she realized that she had become a "little cat", she laughed with everyone else and even pretended to be fierce and said to Su Panpan: "Huh, Mom, just wait, I will paint a big clown face on you too!"
At this moment, the laughter in the courtyard was even more lively.
Suddenly, Su Panpan seemed to remember something, and immediately got up and ran to the back room. After a while, she brought out the dried dates that she had picked on the mountain.
"Hey, how about we use these dates, walnuts and sugar to make a walnut-date cake today?" Su Panpan said with anticipation, shaking the dates in her hand.
"Wow, great, great, it must be super delicious!" When the children heard it, they gathered around excitedly and shouted in unison.
Su Panpan directed everyone, "Qin Mu, go get the sugar jar. Xiaoxiao, go crush these walnuts a little more."
Qin Mu quickly ran to get the sugar jar, while Xiaoxiao took a small rolling pin and began to grind walnuts in a very professional manner, muttering, "Hmph, look at me, I'll grind you all into pieces and turn you into delicious food!"
Qin Xiao is responsible for removing the pits from the dates.
Yueyue stared at them intently from the side.
Su Panpan also found a bag of black sesame seeds from the back room.
She hummed a little tune as she stood in front of the stove, ready to show off her skills in making delicious walnut and date cakes.
She first poured an appropriate amount of water and oil into the pot.
The water in the pot slowly began to heat up and took on a slight sheen.
At this time, Qin Mu brought the sugar jar.
Su Panpan started pouring sugar into the pot.
"Pour more, pour more." Yueyue said in a baby voice while standing on tiptoe.
Su Panpan said with a smile: "Hehe, if I don't add a little more sugar, how can it be sweet enough to satisfy a greedy little cat like you?"
As the temperature rises little by little, the sugar gradually melts and blends perfectly with the oil, and a sweet aroma emanates from the pot.
At this time, Su Panpan poured all the dates that had been prepared long ago into the pot.
The plump dates roll in the "arms" of sugar and oil, and are wrapped in a layer of shiny sugar and oil.
Su Panpan picked up the spatula and kept stirring, making sure that every date was evenly coated with sugar juice.
After a while, the dates in the pot became more shiny and attractive.
Then pour in the crushed walnuts, mix well, and finally sprinkle in plenty of black sesame seeds and continue to stir-fry.
As soon as the black sesame seeds fall into the pot, it is like adding the finishing touch to the walnut and date cake, making the ingredients in the whole pot look more tempting.
After stir-frying for a while, the aroma wafted out and hit the noses, and the children couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Then Su Panpan poured the mixed date and walnut paste into several square plates and patted them flat.
At this time, the walnut and red date cake in the square plate showed an attractive dark brown color with a slightly oily luster.
Small pieces of walnuts and dates are inlaid in it, distributed irregularly, and black sesame seeds are scattered among them like stars.
"Wow, I'm going to be able to eat delicious walnut and date cake soon. I'm so looking forward to it!" Xiaoxiao jumped up and down.
After waiting for a long time, it finally got cold.
Su Panpan turned the walnut and date cake upside down on the chopping board and cut it into slices.
"Wow, it looks delicious!" The children's eyes lit up.
Su Panpan smiled and cut a few pieces for everyone: "Try it, we made it ourselves."
Several children couldn't wait to take it and put it in their mouths, and immediately their faces were filled with happy smiles.
"Wow, it's so sweet and delicious!"
"Yeah, everything mom makes is the best!"
"The days with my mother are so happy!"
Su Panpan felt happy watching the children eating happily. The small yard was full of laughter.
After Su Panpan finished cutting the food, she put it on two plates and asked the children to take one to Shen Ru's family and the other to Zhang's family.
I left some for the children to eat, and put the rest into oil bags, two big bags in total, and put them all into the back room.
The back room finally has more space now that the red dates and walnuts have been cleared out.
After a while, the sound of ox carts "da da da" was heard coming from far away.
"It must be Erniu coming back from town!" Su Panpan's eyes lit up, she quickly wiped her hands, and trotted out to greet him.
Sure enough, Erniu was driving the ox cart steadily and stopped at the door.
The car was filled with wine, fish, meat and other things.
