Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 400 Chapter 390 Nine: Making Ciba

"You can't chase away." Mr. Tang, who had been silent all this time, put down the old cigarette stick and said in a deep voice.

The village chief was puzzled, "Father, why can't we be expelled? You said before that we will not return to our ancestral land, and we will live in Songshan Village from generation to generation. If this reputation is bad, who would want to Marry your daughter to our village, are you willing to ask our village's girl to be your daughter-in-law?"

Mr. Tang shook his head, with a calculating look on his face, "Anyway, it's not a last resort, and we can't chase each other. There are 25 households in Songshan Village, and none of them can be lost."

The village chief was startled, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing his father's expression, he knew that even if he asked, he couldn't ask anything.

For example, the village shrine, for example, what is there on Songshan, for example, why is it necessary to protect every household in Songshan Village.

These things, until the moment father closed his eyes, he, as the village chief, would not know.

"All right, let's take a look."

……

When the radish pieces are cut out, they are pressed with heavy objects, but it is not so fast. It takes at least three or four days to squeeze the water out.

Song Qiu didn't plan to continue to make it, and waited for this batch to be made before taking his time.

For the next two days, the village was also busy making glutinous rice cakes and glutinous rice balls.

There is a big pair of nests and a big mill in the village, which are placed in the village head's house.

In the past few years, it’s rarely used, just like last year, only three families in the whole village made glutinous rice cakes, and they finished beating in less than one morning.

There is no such thing as glutinous rice ball noodles.

Because glutinous rice balls are not mixed with brown rice, they must be made of glutinous rice. Glutinous rice is half the price, but it can't stand the beating.

It would be nice to have some glutinous rice cakes mixed with brown rice.

But this year is different, the villagers have already registered with the village head, and every household has to make glutinous rice cakes and glutinous rice ball noodles.

So the village chief arranged for two days to fight, 24 households, divided by bus, for two days.

Ciba and glutinous rice ball noodles are the same.

The ones who beat the most come first, and the old Yuan's soaked [-] catties of rice to make glutinous rice cakes were ranked first on the first day.

So early in the morning of the fourth day, Song Qiu helped old Yuan carry the drained rice to the village chief's house.

Others who didn't have their turn to call today also came to join in the fun and help. A whole village gathered around the big courtyard of the village chief's house, which was bustling and noisy.

In the stove house of the village chief's house, two large iron pots were heated, filled with water, and placed in wooden barrels for a while to wait for the rice to be steamed.

Besides the Song family, there are a few other families in the village who beat a lot. The village chief’s family beats [-] catties, Wang Butcher’s family beats [-] catties, Liu Caigui’s family beats [-] catties, and Wu Jin’s family beats [-] catties.

When old Yuan Shi and Song Qiu arrived, Mrs. Wang and Huang Caihua arrived earlier, and their rice had already been steamed.

They waited in the back.

The stove house was busy lighting a fire, and outside the courtyard the washed big pair of nests and two big wooden hammers were waiting in the hands of Wang Dali and Liu Caigui's eldest son.

And the two tables on the side of the yard were set up, washed clean, and covered with a layer of oil paper and brushed with a layer of soybean oil to prevent the hot rolling glutinous rice cakes from being beaten out and sticking to the table.

Soon, the rice was steamed first for a while, and two people carried it out. Mrs. Wang pulled the gauze veil on the side with her hands and feet, and emptied the rice in the big pair of nests. The rice grains also have to be shaken clean, don’t waste any.

As soon as the rice was put into the opposite nest, the two people who were in charge of hammering the rice started to do it. You hammered me and I went to the opposite nest, ouch!Whoops!

The rice has to be hammered thoroughly, so that the glutinous glutinous rice cakes are more fragrant and firmer, so it takes a lot of strength.

The hammer was hammering, and soon he was sweating. Wang Dali went to the side and took off his outer clothes, and continued to beat.

The pair of nests were beaten badly, so Mrs. Wang squatted down to hold the beaten rice balls, moved them to the side with two big wooden hammers, and put them on the table.

Huang Caihua, who had been waiting in front of the table for a long time, put a little oil on their hands, and pulled the rice balls clean with both hands, so that there was nothing left on the wooden hammer.

The big ball was divided into two halves, and one half was placed on the same table. Old Yuan rolled up his sleeves and was responsible for pulling out the ball. When the ball was pulled out, a woman took it and pressed it under the palm of her hand.

Press them into circles and spread them out from the corner of the table. If they are warm, they will all stick together if they are placed next to each other. It will not work.

This side also came out of the cage for a while, and the men in charge of the beating never stopped. Hey, hey, if one is tired, he will change to another. In short, all the men in the village are there when they are free, so they are not afraid of lack of manpower.

As for the women, they are responsible for pressing the glutinous rice cakes.

The yard is full, and the work is in full swing.

The Song family's fifty catties of rice could not be steamed in a while, and it took several hours to finish steaming.

Song Qiu guarded the steamed rice from his own house, and when the first basket of rice was moved to the table for old Yuan Shi to rub and pickle, he couldn't help but grabbed a lump and ate it like this.

I still remember when I was young in the previous life, these little kids loved to take advantage of the freshly made glutinous rice cakes when adults were making rice cakes, and they didn’t need to press them. .

And in those days, rice was not so rare, no matter whose family it was, no one would say anything against it if you grabbed a lump to eat, which was different from now.

It's not easy for everyone these days. They all play such a small amount, and they are finally willing to part with it. If they go to grab a lump to eat, it will be very distressing.

So Song Qiu had been enduring it before, and waited for his own to type out, and then grabbed a lump and ate it.

Once in the mouth, it is soft and glutinous. It is really delicious and delicious!
Looking back, seeing a bunch of children watching him swallowing saliva, Song Qiu was also secretly amused, and with a big wave of his hand, he called the children to come over, and asked old Yuan to grab the medicine first, and each child would taste it.

Seeing that Song Qiu was so generous, the kids all surrounded him happily, and the adults knew it too, so they wouldn't chase after the Song family's generosity to ask for it.

Kids just try it, how can adults compete with kids?
Fortunately, all the little ones in the village didn't have much in total, and the older ones were too embarrassed to add up, so I got them all, and they only used a ball of glutinous rice cakes.

After Song Qiu had tasted enough, she rolled up her sleeves to help press the glutinous rice cakes. Her family had a lot of glutinous rice cakes, so she had to press them one round at a time.

The glutinous rice cakes that have been spread out in front of them will be piled up one by one, five in a pile, and put into the dustpan brought by themselves.

After pressing the home, someone will take it home first.

When all the glutinous rice cakes here in the Song family are pressed out, ten piles are piled up, and the largest dustpan can be used to hold two large dustpans.

Old Deng only soaked seven catties of rice to make glutinous rice cakes, so he waited in line to make glutinous rice cakes tomorrow, and came to help today. Seeing that the Song family couldn't move it with so many people, they also helped them move it back.

After the whole morning passed, everyone had to go home to eat first, and then continue playing after a good meal.

The Song family's fight was finished in the morning, and the old Yuan family would also go to help in the afternoon, and there was no reason to leave it alone after finishing the fight.

Helping each other is helping each other. If you come and I don't go, that won't work.

In the afternoon, Song Qiu didn't go. Just after dinner, Du Chuanfu called from the inn, saying that someone was looking for Song Qiu.

Song Qiu hurried to the inn.

　Shhh, I was lazy yesterday and covered my face
