Chapter 212 Are You Angry?
"Xuyuan, why don't you take a break and I'll help you?"
Gu Qinghan walked to Xu Yuan's side and extended his hand to him.
It required a strong beating, so Xu Yuan had taken off the heavy and cumbersome clothes and was now wearing thin clothes.
It’s winter, but I don’t feel cold at all.
"Sister, you've been fighting for so long, take a break first. It's rare that Brother Gu is willing to come and help." Xu Zhi also echoed.
"Row."
He handed the wooden hammer to Gu Qinghan on the side.
"Xuyuan, can you help me hold it?" Gu Qinghan took off his heavy coat and handed it to Xuyuan beside him.
"Here." Xu Yuan took Gu Qinghan's coat, folded it, put it on the empty bench, sat on another empty bench, poured a cup of tea into the bowl, and took a sip.
Gu Qinghan took the wooden hammer and smashed it down as if he was making a wish.
"Is this kind of force okay?" Gu Qinghan looked at Xu Yuan and asked.
"almost."
Xuyuan nodded.
Every time you hit it, the rice will become more sticky, until it becomes a sticky consistency.
Gu Qinghan also saw clearly what Xu Zhi was doing with the wooden stick.
After each pounding, Xu Zhi would use a wooden stick to turn the dough underneath, probably to ensure that every part of the dough inside could be evenly stressed and not stick to the mortar.
Xu Yuan sat on the stool and rested for a while, then stood up and motioned to Gu Qinghan to give him the wooden hammer.
Gu Qinghan shook his head. It was the first time in his life that he saw delicious food being cooked in this way. It was a rare occasion and he didn’t feel tired, so he refused to make a wish.
Helplessly, he had to let Xu Zhi rest aside and then take over her work.
"Sister Xuyuan, can I try it?" Gu Qingming stood aside with sparkling eyes, looking very expectant.
"You can't. You're too weak to stir it."
"Ok."
"Brother A Ming, sit here." Xuanyu came over and pulled Gu Qingming to sit on a chair beside them, watching the two of them do it.
"Make a wish. How bad does it have to be to be considered good?"
Gu Qinghan watched the dough gradually become sticky and elastic under the wooden hammer as he pounded it.
"Anyway, just pound the dough until it becomes a lump and becomes smooth and sticky."
"That should be enough. Just smash it for a while."
Make a wish and nod.
Four pairs of eyes sitting in the back were also watching.
"Xiaozhi, go clean up the table. We'll need it later."
"it is good."
"Then we'll go help too."
Hearing that it was almost ready, Guozi and the others could no longer sit still and hurried into the kitchen to help Xu Zhi clean up.
The yard outside suddenly became quiet.
There was only the sound of the hammer hitting the target.
"Xuyuan, are you angry with me?" Gu Qinghan felt that the timing was right. Since they were the only two of them there, he spoke carefully.
"Ok?"
"What can I be mad at you for?"
Xu Yuan gave a lukewarm answer while stirring the dough in the mortar.
"I missed your date last night. I'm sorry."
"I don't take it seriously. It's mainly because you asked me to do something for you. If you don't come, I won't lose anything."
I don't think it matters to make a wish, and I can save points. Anyway, I just wait for a while, if he doesn't come at the appointed time, I won't wait after the time limit, so I just turn off the lights and go to bed.
"Oh."
Gu Qinghan suddenly felt that the anger he had in the morning had instantly dissipated.
I just hope she's not angry.
Looking at Xu Yuan standing aside, the corners of his mouth raised inadvertently.
Fortunately, I went to take a look when I was out selling roe deer.
It is still not completed, and construction will not start in the days leading up to the Chinese New Year. It will only start after the Chinese New Year.
Fortunately, I paid half of the money to the old man who was in charge at that time, and then settled the balance when the work was completed, so I don't have to worry about the wages.
"almost."
Gu Qinghan put the wooden hammer aside.
Xuyuan put down the stick, stood up and called inside: "Xiaozhi, are you done packing?"
"Almost. It will be ready soon."
Xu Zhi heard the shout and responded. He looked at the plate of dumplings spilled on the ground and felt helpless.
Gu Qingming and many others squatted on the ground, picking up the dusty dumplings.
These dumplings are already cooked, so you can still eat them after shaking off the dust on the surface.
"Sorry, hey, my foot tripped over the basket."
Many people were embarrassed to come and spilled a plate of dumplings.
"Hurry up, both of you pick it up, I'll wipe the table."
"Zhizi, take this basket away. Who put it here?"
"Second sister, this doesn't seem to be our basket." Guozi picked up the basket and looked at it. There was no red ribbon tied around the edge of the basket.
"Oh, this is my house. I guess my brother just put it on the stool and then it fell down." Gu Qingming saw the familiar mark. It was his own house.
"Then I'll put it here. Remember to take it when you go back later." Guozi put the basket on the cabinet and reminded Gu Qingming.
"it is good."
Xuyuan took the rag, wet it with hot water, and quickly wiped the table several times.
Guozi took a dry cloth and wiped the table dry.
Just then Xuyuan had already entered the kitchen with the mashed rice ball.
"Sister, it's done, you can put it down now."
"it is good."
At this time, Gu Qinghan also brought in the bamboo sieve that he had requested for.
Xuyuan put the rice ball on the table, pinched it into small balls and placed them neatly together.
"Sister, what can we do?"
Xu Zhi felt itchy to try, but didn't know how to do it.
"If you want to help, let's divide the work."
Xuyuan took a ball and kneaded it. After a while, it was kneaded into a long strip. Then he took a piece of wood and cut it into small pieces and placed them on a bamboo sieve.
"Then my second sister and I will roll it into long strips." Guozi volunteered.
"Then I'll take the wood chip and cut it into pieces." Gu Qinghan took the wood chip that Xu Yuan put down.
"In that case, Xiaoduo and I will lay out the cut pieces." Gu Qingming brought Xiaoduo and stood next to his eldest brother.
After everyone had divided the work, they began to act on their own.
It takes some time to knead the fruit into long strips, so Gu Qinghan helped. When there was a certain amount, Gu Qinghan began to cut it. The fruits and many others began to be neatly placed on the bamboo sieve.
"Sister, can we eat it now?" Many people looked at the rice cake cut into small pieces and were very curious about what it tasted like.
"It's edible. You can try it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingming and Xu Duo, who were still arranging the rice cakes, took a piece and stuffed it to the left.
Manyu took a bite and said, "It's chewy, but sister, why is it tasteless?"
Gu Qingming felt that even though it had no taste, it was delicious and had the aroma of rice.
"I didn't put sugar in it. If you want something sweet, we can make it sweeter."
"Small twig fruit, you guys should make some slices, so it's convenient to fry and roast later."
"Is that so? Sister." Xu Zhi picked up a dough and started kneading it.
"Right, that is it."
