Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Chapter 123 Getting angry

Yang Dashan and his wife looked at each other, having no idea what had happened to make the old lady so angry.

In recent years, the old lady rarely gets angry. She always smiles at everyone and is very kind. What happened today?

Before Yang Dashan could figure it out, Old Lady Yang immediately arranged for the couple to help their granddaughter.

"We have washed the sweet potatoes for you. Just chop them into small pieces as before, and then pound them in the mortar and pestle. Xiaocao's mother will be in charge of filtering the powder."

Old Mrs. Yang said that she would let Yang Dashan and his wife do it, but she also had a knife in her hand and fought with the sweet potatoes at that time.

"Grandma, now that we have a foot-operated pestle and mortar, we don't have to chop the sweet potatoes into small pieces, which saves a lot of time."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Just sit here and watch us do it. Tell us if there's anything wrong. But you can't use the knife, okay?" Old Mrs. Yang said to Xiao Cao'er as she chopped.

"Got it, grandma, I'll ask my mom to get those basins out first, I can wash this one."

Li took out the basin and said to her daughter, "Just wash it. It won't take long. Your clothes will get wet. Just sit there and watch."

After making sweet potato noodles last time, Xiaocaoer felt that the pots at home were not enough, and they were particularly small. It looked like a whole yard was filled with them, but in fact the pots were too small to hold much.

Later, Yang Dashan asked someone in the village who knew how to make basins to make a few large basins and a few large barrels like bathtubs.

At first, Yang Dashan thought there was no need to make such a big one, as it would be enough for the family. However, Xiao Caoer insisted on making it, saying that it would be useful later, so they made it.

Now that the pot is big, it is much easier to filter out the powder.

With the foot-operated mortar and pestle, the sweet potatoes were ground quickly. Li was responsible for filtering them, and the filtered water was set aside to settle.

She did not waste the sweet potato residue, but collected it and planned to beat two eggs in the evening, add some flour and make some pancakes.

The family was busy for more than an hour to finish cooking several baskets of sweet potatoes.

Old Lady Yang: "Xiao Cao'er, is it ok now?"

Xiao Cao'er: "Not yet. It needs to settle overnight. We need to change the water and wash the powder tomorrow morning. I think it will be ready to eat by noon tomorrow."

Yang Dashan: "Using a foot-operated mortar and pestle to pound the fruits saves a lot of effort and is quicker. Last time we made two more baskets than this time and it took us an entire afternoon to finish. Now it only takes a little over an hour to finish."

Xiao Cao'er: "Grandma, you can ask someone to help make two more. You will definitely need to ask someone to do it. The three of you can't do so many."

When Li heard her daughter say that she needed two more pestles and mortars, she quickly asked, "Daughter, what do you need so many pestles and mortars for?"

Old Lady Yang: "Your daughter is going to do something big again. Shouldn't all the things she needs be prepared in advance? I'm just saying you don't know what you're doing all day long. My good granddaughter does everything."

In order to prevent Old Lady Yang from repeating what she said in the afternoon, Xiao Caoer quickly said, "Mom, I want to make sweet potato vermicelli. After drying it, it can be stored for a while."

When Yang Dashan heard his daughter's new move, he immediately said flatteringly: "Daughter, if you need me to do anything, just tell me. I'm free these few days."

"Okay, thanks Dad!"

"Mom is free too. If you have anything to tell me, I won't go to the embroidery workshop. I will focus on my daughter's affairs first."

"Okay, thank you, mother." Xiao Cao'er smiled with her eyes curved.

After they cleaned up the yard, Li used the sweet potato residue to beat two eggs and added some flour to fry a pancake. She also cooked a pot of porridge and fried a dish of vegetables. It was another simple meal.

"Mom, I think we'll need to ask two people to help tomorrow. I'm still young and grandma is old, and neither of them can do it. You can't handle it alone." Xiao Cao'er said to Li.

"It's okay. There's not much here. I'll just take my time. No need to ask for help. If that doesn't work, there's still your father."

Yang Dashan: "Yes, yes, yes, and there is also my father."

"When making this vermicelli, one person has to filter the vermicelli. After the vermicelli is filtered out, it has to be boiled and scooped out. You can't be slow. Dad, do you think you can do it?" Xiao Cao'er asked.

When asked by his daughter, Yang Dashan really felt that he might not be able to do such delicate work.

In fact, when Old Lady Yang heard her precious granddaughter say that she was too old to do the job, she wanted to object. She felt that she could still help, but she was afraid of ruining her granddaughter's plans so she did not dare to volunteer.

I had no choice but to say to Li: "Then after dinner, go find two people who are not working and are quick to work to come and help."

Li: "Okay, mother, I'll go there later."

Yang Dashan: "My daughter, what about Dad? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Xiao Cao'er: "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I get to a certain stage tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Old Lady Yang was in the yard directing Yang Dashan to change the water and wash the sweet potato flour.

Before going to bed last night, Xiao Caoer had already told them that the steps were the same as those for making the sweet potato flour before. Old Lady Yang had done these tasks before, so she would show no mercy when she ordered Yang Dashan to do the job.

Li called two people last night and arranged for them to come over at noon, because the sweet potato flour needed to be processed by changing water, washing flour, and settling, which would take until noon.

"Grandma, do we have any gourd ladles at home? A bigger one." Xiao Caoer got up and then remembered that he was still missing one tool.

Old Lady Yang was stunned for a moment, and then she thought carefully, "I remember there should be more."

She said uncertainly, then stood up and walked to the kitchen. "I remember I cut several last year. What do you want the ladle for? Is the original one broken?"

"No," Xiao Cao'er shook her head, "I'm going to make vermicelli later, so I need two larger gourd ladles with holes punched in them, one with a big hole and one with a small hole."

Seeing that his mother had found several gourd ladles, Yang Dashan quickly took them and said to his daughter, "Okay, Dad will make them for you. How big do you want the holes to be?"

"It's a little bigger than the drinking ladle we have at home."

The drinking ladle at home is really not big, probably enough to scoop a bowl of water, but the fetching ladle is too big.

"Girl, can you see which two are suitable?" Yang Dashan put several watering ladles on the ground for Xiaocaoer to choose.

Xiao Caoer took a look and pointed to two that seemed suitable and said, "Let's take these two."

"Okay, Dad will make it for you." Yang Dashan said with a smile.

Old Mrs. Yang curled her lips and said: Now you know how hard it is for your daughter, she has to worry about every little thing.
