309 Amy Fruit (3)

Gu Qingming had thought that Amy fruit was made from rice.

Now that she saw Eldest Aunt’s actions, she asked in confusion, “Could it be that you would obtain the paste after cooking?”

Eldest Aunt shook her head with a smile and said, “No. The boiled wormwood leaves are boiled and mixed with rice noodles, glutinous rice noodles, and rice balls.”

Gu Qingming did not understand.

However, a moment later, Eldest Aunt scooped up the cooked wormwood from the aluminum pot and filtered it. Then, she poured it directly into a large basin on the table. In the large basin, there was already a proportion of rice noodles and glutinous rice noodles.

To Gu Qingming, she could not tell which were the rice noodles and which were glutinous rice noodles.

The boiled wormwood was already soft.

Then, Shi Yuxin, started to divide them.

Gu Qingming saw that the powder had slowly turned green.

Gu Qingming was speechless.

It was completely different from what she had imagined.

After Eldest Aunt boiled a pot of leaves, she poured the water out of the pot and added water to the pot again. Then, she poured some black water from a bucket beside her and continued to boil the aluminum pot.

Gu Qingming looked at the white foam and asked in confusion, “What kind of water is this? Is it straw gray water?”

“That’s right, it’s straw gray water!” Eldest Aunt nodded and said, “Making such snacks requires alkali. Although the supermarket sells alkali powder, rural people still like this natural alkali. It’s safe and reassuring to use it!”

Gu Qingming walked up to her second brother and looked at the boiled wormwood grass that had already been slowly rubbed open.

She asked, “How many catties of powder are there?”

Eldest Aunt said, “Our family uses the ratio of 1:1:1, which is 500 grams of wormwood, 500 grams of rice noodles, and 500 grams of glutinous rice noodles. Then, we rub and press them.”

Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Oh, I see.”

After a while, Shi Yuxin asked, “Auntie, can you come and take a look?”

Eldest Aunt walked over and looked at it. She pinched it and said, “It’s a little hard. I need to add some water and rub it!”

This water was the water left behind from cooking the wormwood.

Eldest Aunt poured half a small bowl in and said, “Rub it again. It should be fine after rubbing it evenly!”

When Shi Yuxin heard this, he kneaded for a moment. After the water in the pot boiled, his aunt poured a bucket of wormwood into it and stirred it with a spatula for a moment before scooping it up.

This wormwood didn’t need to be cooked for too long. If it was too rotten, the Amy fruit wouldn’t be so fragrant.

When Eldest Aunt was done cooking this pot, she poured it into another large basin with rice noodles and glutinous rice noodles.

At this moment, Shi Yuxin had already kneaded the first pot and brought it directly to the courtyard.

As soon as Shi Yuxin carried out the items, everyone stopped. They divided the large balls into long strips and then made them into small balls to make small blanks. After wrapping in the fillings, they placed them directly in the steamer and waited for them to be steamed!

Gu Qingming walked out of the kitchen and saw the stuffing on the table. The pickled vegetables with fresh bamboo shoots were stir-fried and there were many chili peppers. Just the smell of them made her choke.

There was also the salted radish filling. It was also stir-fried with chili.

Salty radishes were sunbaked at home. They were fragrant, sweet, crispy, and a little salty. Everyone said that the dried radishes this year were surprisingly delicious.

How could it not be delicious? These radishes were secretly watered by Gu Qingming with the spiritual spring water.

They say these fillings are not tasty without chili.

Gu Qingming had never eaten it before.

However, she had just finished her confinement and the child was still breastfeeding. She could not eat these spicy and salty things.

Therefore, there was no need to consider Gu Qingming’s taste in these two fillings. Naturally, everyone could eat them however they liked.

Obviously, everyone had the same taste and liked spicy food.

The sweet ones had peanut, sesame, and bean paste fillings.

Other than Grandpa Shi, Grandpa Gu, Big Grandpa, and Little Grandpa, who were sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard and chatting, everyone was working together.

Gu Qingming also wanted to make a move, but Grandma Shi immediately stopped her and said, “Darling, don’t do it anymore. Your hands would be covered in oil from doing these things. The child still has to be fed later. When the child is hungry, she has to be fed immediately. Otherwise, he will cry.”

Eldest Sister-in-law used a mold to press the skin. She smiled and said, “Grandma, speaking of which, I’ve never heard this child cry. This child is really easy to take care of.”

“This child is indeed easy to take care of. I’ve never seen a child who’s easier to take care of than her. She’s still in confinement and still loves to be clean. If she pees, she must immediately change her diaper after whining twice. If she’s hungry, she would moan three times.”

As long as the adults heard her moan, they would know what she needed.

Usually, she rarely cried.

Occasionally, when she cried, it was because she met someone she didn’t like who hugged her or made her uncomfortable.

Usually, she would close her eyes and sleep soundly.

Occasionally, when she woke up, she would be carried out by the adults to bask in the sun. She did not cry or make a fuss. Her big and round eyes rolled around. Occasionally, she would even spit bubbles from her mouth. She would look at the person who was hugging her and reveal a faint smile.

Sometimes, the baby would even seem to be chatting with the adults. When the adults said something, she would hum along.

Her face was pink and tender. When she looked at someone, she smiled and hummed. She was so adorable that everyone’s hearts almost melted.

This baby was really too cute.

This made the three brothers and sisters-in-law extremely envious. They clamored in their hearts that they had to have a daughter.

Of course, according to the genes of the Shi family, the probability of giving birth to a girl was still quite low.

Gu Qingming liked this treasure that she owed in her previous life even more.

She used to know that human cubs were very cute, but when she had a cub, she found her even more adorable.

She was really glad that she had made the right decision. She had insisted on giving birth to this child whose father was unknown. In the future, it might affect her lifelong happiness.

With such a cute and beautiful child by her side, she was willing to stay single for the rest of her life.

In this life, she must protect her little girl;l and keep her safe.

…

Everyone worked very quickly on the Amy fruits.

If they didn’t move quickly, the dough would be dry in a while.

Once it dried, it would not be easy to press the base. Moreover, it would easily crack. If it dried and cracked, it would not be easy to wrap the filling.

Gu Qingming did not make a move. She watched from the side and chatted with everyone.

Gu Qingming asked, “Grandma, can I eat this Amy Fruit?”

“Sure!” Grandma Shi nodded and said, “This Amy fruit is warm. It can warm the spleen and stomach. However, you can’t eat too much since it was made with glutinous rice noodles. It won’t be easy to digest and will cause the baby’s stomach to hurt.”

“Mingming, just eat one or two later. You can’t eat too much!”
