Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Farmers only need to cook things once they are cooked. They are still busy with daily chores at home and in the fields. No one will spend all their time eating.

Zhao Tianyu is the youngest daughter in the family. Her natal family has a relatively strong financial background. She does not need to do any daily work in the fields. She only cooks meals and washes clothes at home.

She was careful and patient, and she was willing to put in the work on the stove. As time went by, she discovered some small tricks, so she became good at cooking.

Roll the chestnut kernels into powder. The next step is to prepare the filling, then add the water-oil crust and puff pastry.

Zhao Tianyu asked clearly about the ratio of water to flour, lard and sugar when mixing water and oil skin. After Liu Yu clarified it, he thought for a moment and started to measure the ginseng and stir with a spoon.

Mix a small ball of water-oil skin, then the puff pastry. Also use a spoon to estimate the proportion of flour and lard, and start slowly tanning.

After both are kneaded, it is time to adjust the chestnut filling. After Liu Yu explains the ratio of chestnut powder to lard and granulated sugar, he also uses a spoon to measure the amount of chestnut powder, and then adds lard and sugar.

"I used to make chestnut pancakes by boiling the dough. This way, the pancake crust is soft and soft. I didn't expect that a master chef who really made the cake would actually do it this way. It's so troublesome, no wonder it's so delicious."

"There are also sugar and lard. These two things are very expensive. How can the family be willing to use them? The sweetness is all due to the sweetness of the chestnut itself."

Zhao Tianyu mixed the fillings while chattering about making chestnut cakes.

A few people chatted again about the cost of chestnut cakes. After the water-oil crust and puff pastry had risen, Chen Jinmei took over the work: "I'll do it. This requires bending. If you are inconvenient, just sit down and control the overall situation." .”

Liu Yujing took over and cut both skins into small pieces, then rolled them into small balls.

Turning around, he saw Changsheng sitting at the door of the kitchen, looking eagerly here with a bored and pitiful look on his face. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Would you like to try it out?"

"Okay, this doesn't look difficult." Changsheng's eyes were instantly filled with smiles, and he hurriedly went to wash his hands on the bamboo basin stand at the door of the main room.

There were two balls of dough, one big and one small. It took a few people a while to form large and small doughs.

The slightly larger one is water-oil dough, and the slightly smaller one is puff pastry. Liu Yu took a small ball of slightly larger water-oil dough and pressed it into a flat shape, and then placed the small puff pastry dough in the center of the water-oil dough.

Carefully pinch the seam tightly, and a small bun without pleats will come out. Place the seam side down on the chopping board, and Liu Yu carefully turns the dough with both hands to make the dough rounder and fuller.

After looking around, I felt there was nothing wrong with it, so I set it aside and covered it with a steamer cloth to prevent the skin from drying out.

Chen Jinmei and Chang Shengju sat aside and watched carefully. After Liu Yu finished making a cake, they started to work together.

After all the watery dough was wrapped in the puff pastry, the group of people just waited for it to slowly wake up.

While waiting for him to wake up, Zhao Tianyu started talking.

"Ayu, thank you for supporting your second brother yesterday. He and your uncle are both inseparable people. If it weren't for you, your second brother would have suffered this shock in vain. Lang Lang Qiankun, that Ren Dabao , how dare he hurt people with a knife..."

When Zhao Tianyu heard last night that Liu Yan had robbed Ren Dabao with a knife, intending to rob a cow, she felt a sense of fear in her heart.

She was really grateful to Liu Yu in her heart. She really couldn't imagine how she, her two children, and the one in her belly would be able to live in the future if anything happened to Liu Yan.

"The second sister-in-law is serious. The second brother is my second brother. He is not worthy of the second sister-in-law's special thanks." When Liu Yu saw the expression of Chang Sheng beside him change, she felt bad in her heart. She had not yet met her grandpa and grandma. Chang Sheng said this.

"Why are you stabbing someone with a knife? You guys came back so late last night. Sure enough, something happened on the road. There is also something about Ren Dabao. He is a scoundrel. Are you injured?"

Changsheng's tone was anxious, and he wanted to turn over Liu Yu's sleeves to see if there were any injuries.

"It's okay. That Ren Dabao is just a weakling. I knocked him down with just one stone. It didn't even touch the corner of my clothes. But my second brother must have been frightened."

When Liu Yu saw her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law looking over her teasingly, she felt a little uncomfortable and quickly grabbed Chang Sheng's hand to express that she was really fine.

He hurriedly explained what happened yesterday in detail. Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said: "It's better not to walk at night in the future. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves, but you are afraid of being missed. This Dabao must be dead." For a long time, I didn’t know that other bad people had no bad ideas.”

"I won't have anything to do with Wuzui anymore, don't worry." Liu Yuchong comforted Changsheng.

"This is indeed a person who is about to start a family. His actions are all taken care of. Unlike your eldest brother, who never hears a warm word from his mouth." Chen Jinmei's eyes grew hot and her heart felt a little sour.

"Brother is not a glib person. He is thinking about his sister-in-law! He only shows it through actions." Liu Yu was afraid that her sister-in-law would go back and use words to stab her brother, so she hurriedly distracted her with words.

"The dough has woken up, let's roll it out." Liu Yu hurriedly picked up the rolling pin and rolled out the dough without saying a word.

"Neither am I." Chang Sheng whispered beside Liu Yu.

"It's nothing." Liu Yu was surprised.

"........."

Changsheng was silent for a moment, turned his head slightly, and glanced at Liu Yu. This man really knew what he was asking.

Liu Yu reacted slowly, touched Changsheng lightly with her elbow, and said softly: "Of course I know you are also a person of action. What I said was to make my sister-in-law happy!"

Chang Sheng pursed his lips and glanced at Liu Yu, the corners of his lips slightly curved.

The area around the chopping board was not very big, and no matter how quiet the two people's voices were, they couldn't be much quieter. Chen Jinmei felt angry and funny, and used her arm to crook Zhao Tianyu. The two looked at each other, fearing that they were young and thin-skinned and could not talk away. Everyone looked down and had fun.

Liu Yu rolled out the dough, and the other three slowly rolled the dough into an oval shape, then covered it with a steamer cloth to let it rest.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu rolled out the rolled dough again. The three people asked Liu Yu, then rolled it up again, covered it with a steamer cloth and let it rest.

After another quarter of an hour, with the expectation of Chen Jinmei and others, Liu Yu took out a rolled dough, stood it up, pressed it from top to bottom into a round shape, and then rolled it into a round piece with a rolling pin.

"It's the same as the skin of buns, thick in the middle and slightly thinner around the edges."

"It's time to make the filling." Liu Yu took a rolled out dough sheet and put it in his hand, then scooped out a spoonful of filling, began to pinch the dough tightly, then pressed the dough downward to form a round cake shape.

"That's it." Liu Yu put a newly baked chestnut cake embryo in her hand and showed it to everyone.

Everyone is accustomed to doing the kitchen work, and this last step is not difficult at all. Even Chang Sheng does it seemingly.

When all the chestnut cake embryos were ready, Liu Yu counted them and found that there were twenty.

"We haven't met many people, but we have made quite a few."

This is better, the cost is less, the output is more, and they can earn more hard-earned money.

Chen Jinmei had already sat behind the stove and started to light the fire.

Liu Yu took out the rapeseed oil at home so that it could be used for kang cakes later.
