Jian Bao and the others cut down a lot of sugar cane one after another, and piled them all up at the entrance of the village.

Looking at the hill-like pile of sugarcane, Yu Yang only felt soreness in his shoulders.

When they boiled sugar last year, they took the squeezed sugarcane juice home and boiled the sugar with the stove at home.

Yu Yang rubbed his shoulders, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a few large iron pots in the house that were not installed on the stove. All he had to do was build an earthen stove with mud at the place where the juice was squeezed, and take the finished sugar cubes back.

This saves a lot of time and effort.

Yu Yang shared his thoughts with Jian Fang and got high approval.

Jian Qiu and Yu Dong were very excited when they heard that they were going to step on the mud for the masonry stove. The two of them took Yu Yang's hand and turned around on a flat concrete floor.It didn't take long for all the mud to work hard, because it was only used once, so Yu Yang didn't make the clay stove very delicate.

After the squeezed sugarcane juice is filtered, it is put into a pot and boiled.Until the juice in the pot turned brown, Yu Yang took a bamboo pole and stirred in the pot to prevent the pot from sticking.

"Yu Dong go to your little mother's place, don't stay with me, the splashed syrup will burn you later, do you hear me?" Yu Yang kept busy while driving Yu Dong who was squatting beside her away.

Yu Dong got up obediently, the clothes she was wearing were a bit baggy, and when the evening wind blew, she bulged into a big bag, she tore her clothes and stood looking at Jian Qiu from a distance.

Jian Qiu wants to learn everything, and every time he works, he always follows behind and watches, and then does it slowly together.He watched Jian Bao take the bagasse to an open place, and slowly followed behind Jian Bao with a pile of trash in his arms.

This bagasse is dried and often used to smoke meat, and the smoke imparts a distinctive flavor to the meat.

When the contents of the pot became more and more viscous, Yu Yang quickly scooped out the contents of the pot, put them into another cold pot, and kept stirring and sanding.

Then pour the sanded syrup into the pre-prepared mold, wait for it to cool and shape, and the brown sugar is ready.

Unmolding is Yu Dong's favorite job. When she pokes a piece of candy with her sharp claws, a piece of candy falls into the basket.But she did it slowly, often Yu Yang took off two molds, and she didn't finish a single mold, but she was careful, the candies were rarely damaged, and I don't know how she did it.

The first batch of sugar was neatly stacked in the basket, and the small brown cubes exuded a sweet and burnt smell.

Jian Qiu couldn't help but secretly ate a piece, his cheeks were bulging, and his eyes widened in surprise.The yellow pupils stood up, and he immediately took another piece and ran over to stuff it into Yu Dong's mouth, and then Yu Yang saw two pairs of big yellow eyes that were as bright as light bulbs.

From the expressions on Jian Qiu and the others' faces, it can be seen that they like this sweet taste very much.

Yu Dong even threw a piece of candy into Yu Yang's arms and handed it to her, then yelled embarrassingly: "Baa baa."

Yu Yang kissed her face gratifiedly, and praised her several times.Yu Dong, who was praised, smiled and ran away.

Yu Dong has always been a sickness in her and Jian's father's heart, and I'm afraid that Yu Dong and Jian Qiu are different in some way.Compared with Jian Qiu, Yu Dong is not only thin and thin, but also has almost no sense of existence.

The worst plan is that Yu Dong is a child with problems. Now it seems that Yu Dong and Jian Qiu are both normal.

Yu Yang looked at the two children who looked like little fools, and pursed his lips and laughed lightly.

Just as he lowered his head to continue working, a piece of sweet brown sugar was stuffed into his mouth.

"Is it sweet?" Jane asked.

"sweet."

"Am I sweet or candy sweet?" Jian Bao asked again.

Yu Yang was silent, she didn't know how to respond to Jian Fan's sudden little gesture, whenever Jian Fan showed a little more intimacy, she would always be dazed and lose the ability to think.

She frowned and thought for a long time, looking at Jian Bao, her voice was rigid and slow: "Sugar."

Jian Fan's eyebrows were huddled together, and his face was clearly unhappy.

Yu Yanghong pierced her ears, and said angrily: "The sugar you feed is the sweetest."

After speaking, he carried a bamboo basket of brown sugar and walked away as if fleeing.

After getting the answer, Jian Fan finally relaxed her brows, put a small piece of candy into her mouth, and happily turned to get the bamboo basket containing the candy.

After returning home, he simply took care of his stomach, talked for a while by the stove, and then took Jian Qiu and the others to bed.

Yu Yang took the candle and went to the utility room to find the steamer for steaming rice, and put it on the stove.

the next day.

Yu Yang crawled out of the soft blanket, and the sudden cold wind hit her neck.Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he quickly blocked the gap in the quilt, and got dressed tremblingly.

The weather in the mountains is always fickle. The weather was so good yesterday, and today's temperature has plummeted. It's too cold.

Looking at Jian Bao who was still asleep, Yu Yang poked her face viciously: "Why do you sleep like a little pig?"

After speaking, he kissed her on the forehead, and then walked out of the bedroom lightly.

Jian Fan opened her eyes and touched her forehead. The reassuring smell of that man seemed to be still lingering around her. She turned around and grabbed Yu Yang's pillow, and sniffed it hard.

Yu Yang had to light up the extinguished stove first. If he wanted to have a warm environment in the cold mountains, the stove was indispensable.

In order to make it easier to start a fire the next day, Jian Vana would always put one or two pieces of firewood on the hob of the stove before going to bed.

First take out some small sticks and dead leaves from the basket in the corner, light them and put them in the stove.When the light blue smoke slowly came out of the chimney, she took the kettle outside to fetch water and put it on the burning stove.

There wasn't much firewood in the corner of the room, but fortunately, she and Jane were diligent enough to gather a lot of firewood and pile them outside.

Yu Yang looked at the gloomy weather after washing his face, and was a little worried about the potatoes she had just planted a few days ago.In fact, she was not sure what season to plant potatoes, but her parents were too busy at work and sent her to her grandparents in the countryside.

She had seen her grandparents grow them, probably around January, when the weather was not as warm as it is now.

However, the weather in the mountains is changeable, and Yu Yang is even more uncertain whether it is the right season for him to plant potatoes this time.

Yu Yang held the washbasin in his hand: "I hope I don't freeze to death."

She poured out the water in the washbasin, found an ax from another small house, and started chopping firewood in the yard.

She stacked the chopped firewood neatly under the eaves, and then put up the plastic sheet for rain protection, thinking: When the weather gets warmer, I must build a log cabin for firewood.

The weather is dry and cold now, and it will rain in the mountains in February and March.At that time, some of the firewood placed outside the house had to be removed and put inside the house, lest the firewood be damp and difficult to burn.

After she got all the firewood in the yard, she took a broom and swept the yard again.

Jian Fan yawned and kissed Yu Yang's forehead, then went out to brush his teeth with a mouthwash cup and a forked toothbrush.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Yu Yang asked.

Jian Fan held the water glass: "I always feel that the quilt is not so warm when you are not in the quilt. Besides, don't you want to make glutinous rice cakes today?"

"That has to be after breakfast."

"Then I'll be making breakfast right after I wash up." Jian Bao smiled.

Yu Yang's face froze for a moment, and she held a handful of garlic in her hand and said, "I still have some bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms left from cooking noodles yesterday, so let's make noodles and eat them."

Seeing her appearance, Jian Bao muttered: How delicious the baked rice balls are.

Yu Yang didn't hear Jian Fang's words, and Yu Yang felt a little uneasy: "What...how is it?"

Jian Fan spat out the water in his mouth and said, "Remember to put more shallots in the noodles, it tastes delicious."

Yu Yang nodded and went to the vegetable garden.

The two little guys, Yu Dong and Jian Qiu, may be tired from playing recently and sleep deeply every day.The first thing they do when they get up is to obediently go to the corner to find mint leaves to chew, and then ask Jane to wash their faces.

Breakfast was leftover noodles with bamboo shoots and mushrooms from last night.In order to avoid Jian Bao's interference, Yu Yang specially ordered Jian Bao to light up the fire when he was cooking.

There is almost no fresh food at home, mostly pickled vegetables, dried vegetables or made pickles.

After Yu Yang finished eating, he took out the rice steamer, cleaned it by the sink, and put it in the house.

Today I want to steam glutinous rice and make glutinous rice cakes. Almost all the glutinous rice at home has grown rice worms, and if I don’t eat it, it will go bad.

In Yu Yang's memory, only during the Chinese New Year, every household in the village would be busy steaming the newly harvested glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes, and dot festive patterns on them with red edible dyes.

Later, when she grew up, she left her grandparents' house, and also left the village full of memories.

Glutinous rice cakes are common in the city.

The fried glutinous rice cakes are covered with a layer of sweet brown sugar syrup, which is fragrant and glutinous after one bite.The taste seems to be better than the glutinous rice cakes made by people in the country, but Yu Yang always feels that something is missing.

Jian Fan was at the door with her two children, holding a dustpan filled with glutinous rice and carefully sorting out the impurities.

The gap between their claws is huge, and the rice grains are so small that it takes a long time to catch a broken rice.

Jian Qiu is impatient: "Meh."

He pointed to a small stone and yelled, and then Jane picked it up.

Yu Dong couldn't catch it, so he didn't help to pick it up, and stared at Jian Bao's movements with a pair of big eyes.She stretched out her paw suddenly, which meant that Jane would put the thing she picked out on the palm of her hand.

Jian Bao smiled and put the picked things in, Yu Dong pursed his lips and showed a slightly shy smile.

After steaming the rice, pour it into the clean stone trough prepared earlier, and break the glutinous rice with a wooden hammer.Finally, divide the glutinous rice cakes into small pieces, put them into a bowl and pour the brown sugar syrup boiled by Jian Fan. When the hot glutinous rice cakes are just out of the pan, sprinkle some crushed peanuts.

After one bite, the glutinous rice has a firm and elastic texture, together with the sweetness of brown sugar. Looking at the three people eating happily, Yu Yang silently unscrewed the glass bottle containing the chili sauce.

"I think fried rice cakes will taste better." Jian Qiu took the bowl and put a chopstick into Yu Yang's mouth.

Seeing that she wanted another bite, Yu Yang quickly waved his hands and smeared chili sauce on the white and soft glutinous rice cakes: "I won't eat it, it's too sweet. Let's fry it next time I make it. I still have soybean flour and sesame seeds at home. Ciba wrapped in soy flour and sesame is also delicious.”

Jian Fan looked straight at the things in Yu Yang's hands: "I want to eat spicy food too, give me a bite of yours."

Yu Yang took a bite of the glutinous rice cake and said, "Aren't you afraid of having a stomachache after eating sweet and spicy ones?"

Jian Fan shut his mouth, and honestly ate what was in his bowl.

She looked at the woman squatting on the ground eating with a bowl, and remembered that when they first entered the village and found the sugarcane field, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep for a long time.For someone with a sweet tooth, the sugar cane fields are nothing short of a treasure.

Knowing that she likes sweets, Yu Yang carried half a basket of boiled candies for her to eat and play with. His hands were scalded several times by the splashed syrup. It was obvious that Yu Yang didn't like sweet things.And at that time, Jian Bao was more capable of being a demon, now thinking about it, Jian Bao only felt that his heart was swollen and warm.

Seeing that the two little ones were eating happily, Yu Yang was afraid that the two of them would not be able to digest if they ate too much glutinous rice, so he quickly hid the glutinous rice cakes.

These glutinous rice cakes harden and can be stored in water for more than two months, and then taken out of the water when it is time to eat.Looking at Jian Qiu and Yu Dong's appearance now, the glutinous rice cakes they made will be eaten up in a short time.
