Chapter 110 Cold Cake
Chapter 110 Cold Cake

Putting on the heavy diving suit, diving goggles, biting respirator, headlamp, flippers, and some weight-bearing lead weights on his chest and legs, Li Junge couldn't wait to go down to the pool.

This time it was much more relaxed. Although there were still many discomforts, at least I was much calmer, and I didn't have to be in a hurry like last time.

As the body gradually sank, the field of vision gradually became dim. Li Junge turned on the spotlight on his head, and the area three meters in front of him suddenly became green, as if he was in a piece of emerald.

It's a very magical experience.

The heavy lead weight did not appear to be sinking in the water, and when it was about to reach the bottom, Li Junge began to flatten his body and kick his legs against the bottom of the water, and began to inspect this side of the green pool.

There is a stone forest under the water, and various jagged qingming stones are scattered everywhere on the bottom of the fine stones.

Qingming stone is more beautiful in the bottom of the water. Under the light, the precious light on its body is shining, like stream monsters, looking at this uninvited guest who disturbs their tranquility.

The closer to the water inlet of the stream, the Qingming stone has been scoured here for a long time, and its shape is more peculiar and magnificent.

Some boulders lie horizontally, seven or eight meters long, three to five meters in diameter, and the weight is estimated to reach thirty or forty tons.

The boulders are covered with algae and moss, like giants with disheveled hair, showing their teeth and claws.

The caves on the boulders are big enough for people to enter and exit, and small ones are only the size of a finger. They are entangled with each other, and the hives and eddies are all wonderful.

Li Junge was so amazed, he lingered so much that he almost forgot the business.

It was the temperature from the Tai Chi Stone on his chest that reminded Li Junge, and then he began to charge frantically.

This time the small ones really didn't matter, Li Junge swam comfortably while collecting those giant Qingming stones into the space.

Li Junge was busy until the evening, before Li Junge received all the stones taller than one person into the space, and Li Junge planned to leave the rest to the villagers. If he was the only one who found this kind of stone, it would probably make everyone feel strange.

"Let's leave it to someone with insight in the future!" Li Junge was already very satisfied.

Changed the oxygen tank, floated out from the water outlet, walked all the way under the water, and collected the Qingming stones encountered into the space.

There is water to send each other, and the return speed is very fast.

Returning to the place where the boat was parked and changing clothes, Li Junge threw the heavy diving equipment into the space, removed all the dry branches and miscellaneous stones in the space and threw them into Yulong River, and then moved all the green stones to the lake in the space to soak .

Now I have a general understanding of the characteristics of some Qingming stones. These things are hydrophilic, and Li Junge soaked them in the water, also based on the mentality of hitting a pole with dates or no dates.

When I got home, the children had eaten, and they organized the dogs to line up there, preparing to go to the threshing ground to play.

When Wang Meixian came over, she raised her opinion: "Uncle Erpi, how long has it been since you played with us? You don't see anyone all day long!"

All the children made severe criticisms.

The problem was very serious, and Li Junge made a deep self-criticism: "I was wrong, I will play with you all tomorrow, new rice is here, how about we get some delicious food?"

The children immediately forgave the unreliable Uncle Erpi: "Okay, okay! Uncle Erpi, let's make cold cakes tomorrow!"

Li Junge said: "Okay! Then let's make cold cakes!"

That night, Li Junge went to shovel five catties of rice and three catties of glutinous rice to soak in it. Good guy, there are more than a dozen children in this ancestral hall, as well as foodies like Zhuer Chong Erzhun, and Japanese guests. They don’t know that the bowls at home are enough. No.

Early the next morning, Li Junge dug out the lime that hadn't been used up last time, smashed it all up and soaked it in lime water.

Quicklime must be placed in a sealed place, otherwise it will be oxidized to calcium carbonate by moisture and lose its alkalinity.

Move the soaking rice barrel to the beater, and beat two large barrels of rice milk.

Yes, my father has built a shed beside the fish pond, and the small farm machinery inside has been put in place. Now the folks don’t have to go to Pan’ao Township to harvest corn.

Returning to the kitchen with the rice milk, Li Junge dug out all the bowls and pots in the house to find a place to put them.

Then began to boil half a pot of boiling water.

The rural cooking pot is super big. After half a pot of water is boiled, two buckets of rice milk are poured into it, so the pot is not yet full.

Then start to stir constantly, so that the rice milk is evenly heated and cooked.

After a while, the rice milk in the pot turned into a paste, bubbling and bubbling.

Pour half a basin of clarified lime water into it, and continue to stir until the rice milk bubbles again. Li Junge removes the firewood, and continues to heat the pot to prevent the rice milk from congealing, and then starts to pour the rice milk into the bowl with a large spoon .

A pot of rice milk is enough to fill seventy or eighty bowls.

After arriving at the house, I nailed a large wooden frame with a few pieces of wood and placed it on the concrete table, then took a large piece of clean plastic cloth and spread it on it for compaction, and put in mountain spring water, and the cement table became a large sink .

Take out the bowls and bowls from the kitchen and put them all in the sink, so that the semi-solidified cold cakes are submerged under the water.

The mountain spring flows in and overflows continuously, taking away the excess alkali in the cold cake.

The children were all very happy when they got up and saw: "Oh! Oh! There is cold cake for lunch!"

Dad was very annoyed: "I just said what are you doing so early in the morning! You are messing around again, Yaoba! You have run out of bowls and bowls! How are you going to eat breakfast now!"

Li Junge scratched his forehead: "Oh! Forgot about this!"

No way, the family had to eat breakfast on a plate.

After breakfast and sending off the children, Li Junge started to boil sugar water with brown sugar and sesame sugar.

He didn't dare to make it too sweet, so Li Junge used some soybean flour to thicken the syrup, turning the thinner syrup into a thicker syrup.

When it was almost noon, Li Junge took out a bamboo knife and four barrels, each of which was filled with half a barrel of mountain spring, and began to pour the well-prepared cold cakes into the four barrels.

The big bowl is cut into four pieces with a bamboo knife horizontally and vertically, and the small bowl is straightened, and the movement should be light, otherwise the cold cake will break.

The cold cake ripped out of the bowl, fluttered and sank into the bucket, and trembled a few times after sinking to the bottom of the bucket.

After filling four buckets of cold cakes, Li Junge left one bucket for his family, filled two cans of sugar juice, took more than a dozen bowls and spoons, and loaded the cold cakes and sugar juice on the cart.

Push to the end of the village first, give Liu Sanwa a bucket of cold cakes and sugar juice, let him entertain the Japanese guests, and then push the rest to the ancestral hall.

It just so happened that the kids were out of class, and a group of kids gathered around, shouting, "Uncle Erpi Laipi! You agreed to play with us, how long has it been since I saw anyone!"

Li Junge opened the bucket, let the children see what was inside, then closed the lid, and said, "It's a pity that I also made cold cakes for everyone, and I've been busy all morning to be criticized, well, I'll just push it away! "

When you're done, you're going to leave.

The children are not doing it anymore, and we will forgive you for making a lot of noise!Hurry up, hurry up, we want to eat cold cakes!
Only then did Li Junge tap on the rim of the bucket in awe: "Then hurry up and line up from childhood to adulthood, and we'll start eating!"

Take out a large bowl, take out a piece of cold cake and put it upside down, use a bamboo knife to cut it into small squares, pour a spoonful of sugar juice on it, next!
After a while, everyone is eating with a bowl.

Li Junge also filled a bowl for the fourth grandfather, Si Xingzhun, and Zhu Chaoan, and the few people ignored the children, eating and chatting with each other.

Zhu Chaoan ate one bowl after another, very happy: "The new rice brown sugar cold cake is still very tasty."

Li Junge couldn't help but hit him: "This stuff is sweet, you'd better eat less."

Zhu Chaoan rolled his eyes: "You don't know how to care about me. I have lost seventeen or eight catties in the past month, okay? I went to the hospital for an examination last week, and all the three highs are gone!"

This should be the effect of spiritual spring water again. Seeing how hard it was to decorate the farmhouse some time ago, Li Junge secretly used some for Zhu Chaoan.

Si Xingzhun laughed loudly and said, "Oh, Zhu Erchong, congratulations! This wedding dress is very interesting! Then I will guide you!"

Zhu Chaoan said: "Hahahaha, that's a must. I'm going to call Xiaomei. From now on, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it's not easy for my brother to get this image. I don't know if it will bounce back. I have to keep the picture quickly. Good for the kids to see."

Li Junge laughed loudly and said, "Baby, come back! It seems that you have been addicted to the children in Lijiagou!"

Zhu Chao'an scratched his forehead and said, "Boys are making noise, it's so frustrating to see you these few days, Erpi, do you think I'm cheap?"

Several people laughed.

Si Xingzhun said to Li Junge: "Erpi, when are you going to delay this matter of scouting and filming materials?"

Li Junge said: "Aren't you in a hurry these days? Let me say, why are you always grabbing Uncle Bamboo Carpenter and taking pictures?"

Si Xingzhun smiled and said: "This is a secret for the time being. By the way, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter's filming is almost finished. When will I shoot some more shots of you going up the mountain to fetch bamboo, and the work will be over."

Li Junge said: "That's a bit difficult. We all go to Bifeng Mountain to pick bamboos on days when the mountains are covered by heavy snow. We will suffer a lot when we come down!"

Si Xingzhun said: "That's necessary! The more you suffer, the more valuable the material you get! I can accept this."

The fourth grandpa said: "Baby, with your body, you have to practice hard. Running in the mountains in winter, Pi Wa loses a few catties after such a trip!"

Si Xingzhun said: "Recently, I contacted the teacher of the Wushu Department of Shudu Institute of Physical Education, and they are practicing boxing and swords. When winter comes, my health will definitely be fine!"

Li Junge patted Si Xingzhun on the back and said: "This is for real! Well, after seeing off the Japanese guests, we will go to Uncle Orion and Uncle Pharmacist. Before autumn comes, we will go to the mountains and let you Let’s experience it first, otherwise you don’t know how much it weighs. Speaking of which, if Si Quan doesn’t pull him to practice his legs, he’s really going to be a useless dog!”

After eating the cold cake, Li Junge and Zhu Chaoan took the children to swim again, and Si Xingzhun still had to ask the fourth grandfather for advice. There are still many places in the script that need to be enriched.

Pushing the unfinished cold cakes to the pier, the children still couldn't wait to plop into the water, one by one, plopping towards the water slide.

Li Junge looked surprised and said: "Hey! It won't be long, the children seem to be able to swim!"

Zhu Chaoan said: "If you are playful, you will grow fast if you are water-based. These kids spend every afternoon soaking in the water. The big ones take care of the young ones. Aren't they quick learners?"

After speaking, I also jumped into the water, and it was another big splash.
