After the adopted daughter of a wealthy family was reborn, everyone was cremated
Chapter 64 Making Persimmon Cake
"Eat lunch at my place." After the two of them entered the house, grandma said to An Ran, "It's Sunday, don't you have any classes? I'll ask Aqiu to prepare something delicious for you."
Aqiu is the cook at Grandma An's house.
Grandpa An passed away long ago, and now Grandma An lives alone in the small white building where the whole family once lived, and is cared for by Aqiu and two other nannies.
Aqiu is a live-in nanny who is responsible for Grandma An's food and night care.
The other two nannies are responsible for cleaning upstairs and downstairs, as well as maintaining the house and small garden. They do not live at home and come to Grandma An's house on a regular basis to provide services.
"Okay." An Ran agreed immediately.
She made a temporary decision to come to grandma's place today, but she also decided to stay longer.
"What do you want to eat?"
"It will be all right."
"Today is the beginning of winter. Later, I will ask Aqiu to make mutton soup for you, mutton stewed with white radish." Grandma An happily pulled An Ran to sit down on the small flower fabric sofa by the window, and then pulled An Ran from the cabinet next to her. He took out several food plates and placed them on the small coffee table next to An Ran.
The food plate contains dried fruits, biscuits and other snacks, as well as fruits.
She picked up one of the fruit plates with persimmons and placed it between herself and An Ran. She took out one and gave it to her, "Try this persimmon. It grows in the backyard at home."
"Are the persimmons at home ripe?" An Ran happily took the persimmons given by her grandma and looked at them carefully. The persimmons in her hands were beautiful and soft, and were ripe orange-red.
"It's ripe early." Grandma An put down the plate and took out a persimmon to peel. "Yesterday Aqiu and I picked a basket. You can take them back later. These were picked a few days ago. .”
"Okay." An Ran agreed while peeling the persimmons, "But I can't take too much."
The main thing is to take the persimmons home, and no one at home eats them.
When I lived with my grandma, my adoptive mother said many times that the persimmon and orange trees planted in the backyard were not good-looking, and she would never eat the fruits they produced.
Therefore, at that time, grandma was taking care of the fruit trees at home, and grandma would take her and Anjing to eat the harvest. If they couldn't finish it, she would take her to the neighbors and give it away.
Sometimes, when she and An Jing were eating, they would secretly avoid Mrs. An.
She doesn't let them eat too much of these.
"Grandma will give you money, and you can take a taxi back." Grandma An hoped that An Ran would take all the persimmons back. "Take them back and eat them with your brother. If you don't finish them, share them with other workers. If you don't take them, I will eat them too." If it’s not finished, the neighbors next to me will give away everything they should give.”
"It's too much, I can't move it." Even if you take a taxi, you can only take a taxi to the gate of the community. There is still a long way to go from the gate of the community to your home. "If it's too much, grandma, you can take me with you later." Go and have a look, if it works, we can make them into persimmons together so that they can be put away and eaten longer."
"Persimmons?" Grandma An was extremely surprised. "Persimmons are delicious. Can you make them?"
"I will do it."
An Ran thought about the media era in her past life and that she was sometimes too stressed and couldn't deal with it, so she liked to watch various videos on the Internet about making handicrafts and cooking food.
The more you watch, the more you naturally want to do it yourself. As you continue to do it, you will become more and more capable of making.
When a person knows more and more things, he will continue to gain a sense of accomplishment and improve his confidence and energy through the process of doing it.
For An Ran, doing crafts and cooking are good ways to replenish one's blood.
So, later on, whenever she was particularly stressed and tired, and was too tired to settle down and have a good sleep, she would rely on following short videos on the Internet to make various delicious and fun things to settle down. I can’t help but feel grateful to the bloggers who are willing to sincerely create content and share it.
"Really?" Grandma An looked at An Ran expectantly and suspiciously.
"Of course." An Ran smiled, "Why should I lie to you?"
"How do you know how to make persimmons?"
"Learned from the Internet." An Ran could understand Grandma An's suspicion and simply explained to her, "There are some people who are good at making persimmons. They will make videos of the methods and processes of making persimmons and put them on the Internet for everyone to see. I saw it online and followed it, and then I did it.”
"That's great! I'll take you to see the persimmons now." Grandma An stood up and couldn't wait to take An Ran to see the persimmons. "You can see if our persimmons are good. If they are good, we can do them after we have a rest." "
"Okay." An Ran saw Grandma An's happy look with a smile on her face.
Then, she followed Grandma An to a small room at the back of the first floor that was specially used to store various items. She immediately saw a bamboo basket full of persimmons placed on the open space of the room.
The sunlight outside the window falls in through the open window and shines on the persimmons, making them crystal clear. Everything in front of you is as beautiful as a still life painting. The tiny dust slowly floats in the slanting light, making people forget about time. of beating.
"Are these persimmons okay?" Grandma An walked to the basket full of persimmons and asked An Ran, "Are they too raw?"
"It won't be raw. You need a slightly harder persimmon to make persimmons." An Ran walked to her side, picked up a persimmon from the frame, and pinched it. "We will peel off the skin of the persimmon later and tie it up." Air-drying is the best."
"That's good, that's good." Grandma An was very happy when she heard that the persimmons at home could be made into persimmon cakes. "You tell me what you want to use to make it later, and I'll ask Aqiu to prepare it for us."
"A knife for peeling, a basket for holding the persimmons, boiling water for soaking the peeled persimmons, twine and a drying pole for hanging the persimmons, and enough sunlight."
"I have all of these." After hearing An Ran report this, Grandma An turned around and called Aqiu.
She was still mumbling as she walked, "I just don't know what the weather will be like next. I'll ask Aqiu to watch the weather forecast on TV later."
"It will be sunny next week, so we can make persimmons today." An Ran followed her grandma to the kitchen to find Aqiu.
"Aqiu." Grandma An called before she even entered the kitchen door.
"Mother-in-law."
Aqiu is a woman in her fifties who has worked at Grandma An's house for a long time. When Anran lived here with Antu and the others, Aqiu also took care of their family.
She heard Grandma An shouting, turned around and saw An Ran following her, "Ran Ran, why did you cut your hair so short?"
"Yes, it's easy to wash and dry." An Ran stood behind Grandma An and looked at Aqiu with a smile.
Ah Qiu happily gathered around her, "Of course you've grown taller. I almost thought you were Master Jing just now."
"It's been growing faster lately."
Specifically, in the third year of junior high school, she grew very fast, almost as fast as the wind. She grew ten centimeters a year.
No wonder Aqiu was surprised to see her.
"I've lost weight." Aqiu looked at her and said with a distressed expression, "Going to school is very hard."
"It's not hard, school is fun." An Ran shook his head.
"Ran Ran has good grades and likes school." Grandma An said beside her, "Ah Qiu, please help me prepare some tools for making persimmon cakes, and then stew the mutton. Let's have mutton soup for lunch."
"Okay." Ah Qiu is quick with his hands and feet and has a fiery personality. Hearing Grandma An's instructions, he turned around and immediately started to do the work, "Mother-in-law, are you going to make persimmon cakes from the persimmons at home?"
"Yes." Grandma An said happily, "Ran Ran said that you can make persimmons. You can make them with us later. Once you learn how, we can make them ourselves next year."
"Okay, okay." Aqiu was also very happy about making persimmon cakes with her own hands.
Wait until Ah Qiu prepares the tools.
An Ran and Grandma An returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa by the window.
Ah Qiu prepared the tools and quickly brewed a pot of longan, red dates and apple tea and brought it over, "Of course, drink some tea to warm yourself up."
The bright and warm sunshine shone on An Ran and Grandma An. She picked up a cup of tea and looked at the grandmother's face illuminated by the autumn light and her head of white hair. She remembered that when she was a child, her grandmother often took her to sit in this seat, holding a cup of tea. Reading to her with this book on her lap was her favorite and happiest time.
The cabinet behind grandma was full of things, including dried flowers, various porcelain ornaments, quartz clocks, etc., as well as books. The cabinet and the items on it were all wiped clean and arranged neatly.
Every item looks old, yet full of retro charm and texture.
"Grandma hasn't lost the book I read when I was a kid." She saw a pile of Andersen's fairy tales that was almost rotten on the bookshelf behind her grandma.
"They are all books, how can I throw them away?" Grandma turned her head and glanced at the cabinet behind her where the books were placed. "You can still read them."
"My mother-in-law still often takes it out to read." Aqiu heard the conversation between An Ran and her grandmother and interrupted with a smile.
"Grandma likes reading. I'll bring you some next time." Grandma An has read books and graduated from high school. She read a lot in her time.
"You don't need to bring me anything." Grandma An said with a smile, "I'm very happy if you can come and see me."
"Okay." An Ran promised, "I will visit you often in the future."
The two drank a pot of tea and moved to the small room where the persimmons were placed.
In the small room, Aqiu has already set up three small wooden chairs, bamboo baskets, knives and other tools.
After An Ran helped her grandma sit down on the small wooden chair, she sat down next to her and picked up a knife and started peeling the persimmons. However, she found that her hand was very inconvenient and painful because of the injury to her palm.
"Aqiu, do you have a plane?" She raised her head and asked Aqiu next to her.
"Yes." Aqiu stood up and said, "I'll get it."
Grandma An noticed her hand carefully, "Of course my hand is injured. Peeling is difficult. Does it hurt?"
"It hurts a little." An Ran said helplessly, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I won't be able to work well today."
"What kind of force?" Grandma An didn't quite understand. "If your hand hurts, you don't have to do it. You can just watch from the side." 1314
