Farmer's Home

Chapter 716 A Process

As soon as he walked into the yard, Hong Qingjiao looked back at his second sister-in-law and said, "Second sister-in-law, when I pass by brother Da Zhuang's house later, I will ask my aunt to come over to help you. My second brother and I can go to the mountain to do business in peace." .”

The saffron empress nodded towards him knowingly, it turned out that Hong Qingjiao was helping her and sending Hong Yu away!
After the two left, Saffron's mother soon came along with Shangguan Yue'er.

"Honghua, Yue'er will help you look after the child, tell me what you want to do, and I will help you quickly."

Saffron packed the rice in the pots in the dining hall into cloth bags.Then she took a basin and a spoon and said to her mother: "Mother, you can help Yue'er look after the child at home. I will go to the big mill at the head of the village to grind the rice."

Saffron's mother came over, trying to hold half a bag of rice in her hand. "I'll go, you can do other things at home."

"No need, mother, please help me boil a pot of hot water at home, I will go by myself and be back soon." Saffron said to her mother.

Grinding rice is a laborious job, and you have to push the big millstone back and forth. How could she let her mother do it!
Saffron carried half a bag of rice and tools by herself, and ran towards the big tree at the entrance of the village. The big tree at the entrance of the village put a millstone composed of two large round stones.Usually, people in the village, whoever grinds cornmeal or something, are here.

In the past, the millstone was placed in the east of the village, and someone in Lizheng moved it under the big tree, because it is shaded and cool here in summer, and it is cool when people come to work, and there is a well next to it, so water is convenient.

Saffron took the bucket next to it, cleaned the millstone, and then ground the rice on it.

Ergou's wife came back from the field and saw Saffron grinding rice. Looking at her, she asked, "Safflower, what are you doing? Why did you grind all the rice?"

"Auntie, I want to grind it into powder, just like white flour, and use it for cooking." Saffron replied to her with a smile.

After hearing this, Gouzi's wife came over to take a closer look, and then asked suspiciously: "Oh, there is such a way to eat this rice. It's the first time I've seen it. How can I do it? Can it be good?" Do you want to eat?"

"Well, actually, I haven't eaten it yet. I'll tell you if it tastes good after I try it." Saffron said to Gouzi's wife while she was doing her work.

"Okay! Let me help you. By the way, you also tell me how to eat. I'll go home and get some rice to grind later!"

Gouzi's daughter-in-law dug the rice with a spoon and put it in the small hole of the millstone, and said while helping Saffron to push the wooden pole that was not on the plate.

"Yeah!" Saffron agreed with a smile, and finally the two of them were talking while grinding the rice, and they didn't feel too tired after grinding all the rice.

By the time Saffron came back from grinding the rice in the village, her mother had already boiled a pot of hot water.

She took the ground rice milk, mixed it with sugar, poured it into several basins, and divided it into five portions.I poured the spinach juice, sesame powder, and cornmeal that I had prepared in the morning in turn.

There is also a pot with a kind of berry produced in autumn in this mountain. The red color is also very bright red.She prepared these in advance, and she didn't put anything in one of the basins, which was the original white color.

Finally, put saffron in each pot. Every household here has old noodles. After mixing, put them in the pot, cover the pot, and wait for the fermentation to succeed.
