Chapter 188 Persimmon Cake (2)

The supper was cooked by Shaoqing, and Lelang was so tired that he was too lazy to move.

Dinner was very simple, with white porridge, fried eggs and fried wild mustard greens. Rice with coarse vegetables, but the few people ate it with relish. In Lelang's heart, he even felt that such a day was the happiest life.

After eating, I lay down for a while and felt that I had recovered a little energy, Lelang got up from the rocking chair again, put the peeled persimmons placed in the yard into the rice basket at home, and then took them into the house, and took them out to dry them tomorrow. The rice basket is a large sieve, and the countryside specializes in using this thing to dry things.

Making persimmon cakes is actually very troublesome. When drying persimmons, you have to be about one meter away from the ground, for fear of getting stuck. On sunny days with plenty of sunshine, it usually takes about eight to ten days for a large persimmon, and you have to turn it around when drying to make it evenly dry. Remember to collect it at night and when it rains, otherwise the persimmons will break and you have to wipe it off immediately evenly even if they are stained with water. This is very troublesome.

When the persimmon is dry for about twenty days, when the flesh outside the persimmon has slightly softened and a layer of "thin skin" is formed, you can start pinching the persimmon and kneading it softens it. Then continue to dry for three to four days, kneading it for a second time, and then dry it for two or three days. Then take out the persimmon from the rice basket, squeeze it into a flat shape, and then put it in the rice basket for ten to fifteen days. When drying, turn it once or twice a day. In the evening, move it to the house and cover it with something (preferably the kind of plastic wrap). The next morning, pick up the things covered on it and then dry it.

When pinching persimmons, you must pinch them evenly and do not allow hard lumps in them. When pinching, press the top of the persimmon with your index finger and middle finger, press the persimmon stem with your thumb, and rotate the persimmon with a little force. The persimmon will gradually be pinched into a flat round shape, which is the shape of a persimmon cake. If the persimmon has seeds, you must squeeze out the seeds when pinching.

It is best to pinch it on sunny and breeze mornings, afternoons and nights. Because the skin of the persimmon is dry after the sun during the day, it is easy to break if it is pinched. In the morning, the moisture inside the persimmon is extra smooth and softened at night, and the surface of the persimmon is tough to regain moisture, so pinching persimmons in the morning is not easy to break the skin. After pinching persimmons each time, the persimmons must be rotated to allow them to receive even light and be consistent with wet and dryness. Generally, it will be done after pinching persimmons for four to five times.

It is because of this persimmon that a familiar sentence is derived from everyone’s words, “You think I am a soft persimmon, and you can pinch it whatever you want.”

When the persimmon cake is formed and dried, put the persimmon cakes into a bamboo basket and pile them together, then place them in a ventilated and cool place to dry, and then persimmon cream will be produced. This way, the more times you dry, the faster the frost will appear, the better, and the persimmon cakes can be packaged and stored. When drying, you should turn them once a day or two to prevent the persimmon cakes from sticking together. When turning, check whether all the persimmon cakes are dried and formed. If they are not dry enough, they should be refilled. If the persimmon cakes are not in a good shape, they should be corrected.

The amount of frosting of persimmon cakes is related to the dry and humidity when they are covered. The persimmon cakes are not easy to soften when they are too dry, and the frost is thin and less; the persimmon cakes are not easy to frost when they are too wet, and even if they are frost, they are easily infected. Persimmon cakes with moderate dry and humidity will have faster and more frost.

The finished persimmon cake is best stored in a ceramic container that is easy to seal, can prevent insects, rats, and moisture, and stored in a low-temperature, dry and well-ventilated place. In rural areas, the prepared persimmon cake is usually placed in a water tank or a clean wine tank, and then taken out when it is about to be eaten or sold.

When storing persimmon cakes, in order to prevent the persimmon cream from being in contact with each other due to the large moisture content of persimmon cakes, some dry persimmon skins can be mixed with the persimmon cakes to absorb moisture.

The main components of the white cream on the surface of the persimmon cake are mannitol and glucose, which can moisten the lungs and stop phlegm.

Collect the persimmon cream that fell off when turning the persimmon cake with raw frosting and sifting away the debris on it. Add two taels of water to a pound of persimmon cream, heat and dissolve. After it cools, find a clean place to roll it into long round strips, cut it into small pieces, and pinch it into a flat round shape like a persimmon cake with your hands. It tastes good and is a real pure natural food.

However, Lelang obviously has a long way to go, and it is probably still a long time to wait for eating persimmon cakes.

After taking a shower, Lelang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He didn't know if there was a Zhizhao living next door. He glanced at Saburo and saw that Saburo had fallen asleep. He got up quietly and walked out quietly. He didn't forget to bring him to the door when he went out.

When he arrived at the Shaoqing Gate opposite, Lelang felt his heart beating "bang bang", and he felt like he was a thief. I don't know if it was fear, excitement or other inexplicable emotions.

"Keep, chee, chee", Lelang knocked on the door gently, and did not forget to look back at the room opposite, before saying softly, "Shaoqing, it's me."

Shaoqing was not asleep yet, and sat at the head of the bed, holding a script in his hand and watching it. Hearing Lelang's voice, he walked down and opened the door.

"It's so late, haven't gone to bed yet?" Shaoqing said to Lelang.

"I miss you." Lelang said to Shaoqing with a smile.

"Slutty." Shaoqing glanced at him and said unhappy.

Lelang walked into the room and closed the door. At this time, Shaoqing realized something, his face instantly blushed and he lowered his head: "What do you... want to do...?"

"What do you think?" Lelang asked back to her, and without waiting for her to answer, he had already hugged her tightly and kissed her soft and fragrant lips hard.

"Uh-huh……"

After a long time, the lips parted.

Shaoqing slapped Lelang's chest in shame and said, "I almost couldn't breathe."

Looking at Shaoqing's blushing look, Lelang laughed loudly, picked up Shaoqing and threw it on the bed. He quickly took off his clothes. In an instant, the two of them were naked.

Le Lang lay on Shaoqing and said gently: "I will make you the happiest woman in the world."

"Um."

Although Shaoqing had already prepared in his heart, the day came too quickly and too suddenly. Her face turned red and she didn't dare to open her eyes to look at Lelang, but just said softly: "Be gentle."

Looking at Shaoqing's shy appearance, there seemed to be a surging flame burning in Lelang's dantian, with passion surging. All the words turned into the driving force for action, and we worked hard to move forward.

"ah……."

Outside the door, Sanlang lay on the door and heard the strange and messy sound from Guli coming from inside, looking confused.

In fact, he was not asleep. When he saw Lelang coming out with his hands and feet, he was curious. After a while, he followed him secretly. He heard the sound from the room opposite, and he lay on the door and listened.

After listening for a long time, Saburo felt that he didn't understand, so he had to run back to sleep.

The clouds and rain are about to stop.

Le Lang gently hugged Shaoqing from behind, and his hands crossed her delicate and tender skin, which would cause a slight tremor and kiss her hair. The two of them didn't say anything, and they could feel each other's heartbeats quietly.

Shaoqing leaned against Lelang's chest and felt a warmth inexplicably, which was a feeling she had never felt before. She couldn't help but move her body again, making her snuggle closer to him.

Holding her delicate body tightly, she felt the temperature coming from inside, and suddenly she was about to move below. Shaoqing felt the hot temperature coming from below, turned to him and said, "No..."

Before he finished speaking, his lips were blocked by a hot warmth. Lelang did not speak, so his words turned into motivation and he worked hard to move forward.

"Ah...hum...um...um..."

Shaoqing's virginity, who had not finished his worldly affairs, finally couldn't stand the battle of Lelang, and fell asleep as soon as he blew. Lelang just hugged her tightly, blending together, and not distinguishing each other, and fell asleep.

The morning sun shone in front of the window, Shaoqing slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was Lelang's sleeping face like a child.

This man is his lifelong support? Shaoqing asked in his heart, looking at his face, his hands couldn't help but stretch out and gently touched his eyebrows. Lelang's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she quickly retracted her hands, like a child stealing candy, feeling anxious.

After waiting for a while, I saw that there was no movement, so I breathed a sigh of relief. I frowned and pulled out my eyebrows, struggling to stand up, but there was a thrust and I couldn't help but fall back to the bed.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Shaoqing's appearance, Lelang, who pretended to be asleep, quickly got up and asked with concern.

"It's not you. I told you yesterday that I didn't want it, but you insisted on it..." Suddenly, Shaoqing felt that what he said seemed to be very irrelevant, and quickly stopped, just staring at Le Lang, the initiator.

Lelang looked at her swollen redness and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay? Ah..." Shaoqing said, and then he realized that he was not wearing clothes. Although he had already met calmly yesterday, she still felt a little shy for no reason. She quickly turned around, leaned against Le Lang, and said noddedly: "You...you go out for a while."

"ah……"

"hurry up."
