Chapter 105: 113 Grinding Rice into a Pulp

113 Grinding Rice into a Pulp

She had to earn money to buy food and make sure that her family’s quality of life would not decline.

It wasn’t easy for her to escape from the apocalypse, and she didn’t want to live a bitter life anymore.

Lin Xiaoyue gave herself a pep talk. She gritted her teeth and took out more than three catties of polished rice.

Then, she scooped some water into the bucket and washed the polished rice twice. After that, she added water and soaked the rice.

After processing the rice, Lin Xiaoyue took another bucket of water. She also took a small amount of lime and mixed it into the water.

Then, she looked at the time before going to help Aunt Wang and the others.

The few of them were curious about what Lin Xiaoyue was doing, but Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said to keep it a secret. She told them to wait until she’s done.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was not willing to say anything, everyone could only wait.

After more than two hours, Lin Xiaoyue went to check on the soaked rice again.

She realized that the rice could be crushed with her fingers and knew that it was almost done.

Hence, she went to the village chief’s house.

It was Zhang Shi who opened the door.

Knowing that Lin Xiaoyue was here to borrow the stone mill, Zhang Shi immediately took Lin Xiaoyue there and even offered to help her.

“Thank you!”

Then, with the help of Zhang Shi, she washed the stone mill and prepared to grind the rice pulp.

“Oh, this is refined rice! Yue’er, what are you preparing to do with this?” Zhang Shi asked Lin Xiaoyue while helping her.

After eating the dishes sent by Lin Xiaoyue twice in a row, she really admired Lin Xiaoyue’s cooking skills.

Could the rice pulp be used to make dishes?

“Hehe, previously in the town, I happened to hear a merchant talking about a snack called cold glutinous caked, which is cooling and delicious. I bought some refined rice and brown sugar to try it out.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

The method of making cold glutinous cake was actually quite simple, but it wasn’t something that could be learned just by watching.

If she hadn’t seen her grandmother make it in her previous life, and later on, tried it herself, even if she knew the process, she wouldn’t have been able to make it well.

The two most difficult parts were the treatment of the lime water and the control of the fire during the boiling process.

The ratio of lime water must be precise. Otherwise, the cold glutinous cake made would not be delicious at all. It might even cause diarrhea.

And if too little lime was put in the water, it would not coagulate.

Also, it was extremely important to control the heat.

After the rice pulp was added to boiling water, it cooked quickly, and then it would stick to the pot.

Once it was burnt, the entire pot would be considered useless.

Although the cold glutinous cake might not be burnt, it would smell bad.

Therefore, she really wasn’t worried about others seeing how she made them. Ordinary people couldn’t learn it just by watching.

“Oh, really? Can I try it afterwards?” Zhang Shi said with a smile.

Hearing that Lin Xiaoyue was just trying it out, Zhang Shi did not ask for specific steps. She was going to wait until it’s done.

“Sure, if it’s a success, I’ll send some over to you.” Lin Xiaoyue said cheerfully.

“Hehe, I knew you were a good girl!”

Not long after, the rice pulp was done.

Lin Xiaoyue cleaned up the stone mill before bidding farewell to the Zhang family and going back.

Back in the kitchen, under the curious eyes of the three people, Lin Xiaoyue took out a filter cloth and filtered the top layer of the lime water.
