383 More Boiling

She only took a glance before she went back to her work.

She got down from the small stool, stood on her tiptoes, and took the salt on the other side of the table. Then she went back to the pot and stepped on the small stool.

Xue Sifu, Liu Guixia, Li Hehua, and Yu Hongyan all came over.

Before Li Hehua came over, they realized that Xue Yan had added a lot of firewood to the bottom of the big pot, making sure that the firewood could burn for a while even if no one cared about it.

Xue Sifu strode over and smiled, “Jiang Yue, you’re planning to make the ice that you can eat with your hands, right? I knew you already had your own thoughts, otherwise, you wouldn’t have asked me to buy glutinous rice flour and white sugar. You even made bamboo tubes and so many thin sticks for this.”

“When it comes to tasty food, who can compare to Jiang Yue?” Liu Guixia said with a smile.

“It might not taste good even if I try it,” Jiang Yue replied.

“I’ll still eat it!” Yu Hongyan immediately laughed. “Everything that you’ve thought of so far has been delicious! This will definitely turn out well. Go ahead and try everything you can think of!”

“Yes, yes.” Liu Guixia and Li Hehua both agreed.

Her family now believed in her talent for crafting various tasty foods. Encouraging her was a good sign, it would be more convenient for her to make more tasty food in the future.

Jiang Yue nodded.

“Okay, okay,” Liu Guixia said with a smile. “Let’s not disturb our baby anymore. Let her focus on making the things that she wants. We’ll take a good look and learn it. Then, we don’t need her to teach us anymore.”

Li Hehua and the others all nodded.

Jiang Yue added an appropriate amount of salt into the water in the pot. As she did so, she said, “Drinking salt water in summer can actually quench your thirst better, but don’t put too much salt in it. If you put too much salt in it, you’ll get more thirsty. I think only a little bit will do. You should add sugar later too. I think the ice won’t taste salty if there’s sugar, but you don’t have to add too much sugar either. Just a little sweetness will do.”

“And then?” Liu Guixia and Xue Sifu both asked. “Didn’t you buy glutinous rice flour too? It should be used for something, right?”

Before she finished speaking, Li Hehua took the glutinous rice flour that Xue Yan had put on the table and prepared to give it to Jiang Yue when she needed it.

“Here’s what I was thinking,” Jiang Yue said unhurriedly, “You should have realized that the ice is very hard even if you put the sweet red beans on it. They’re just ice cubes, and it hurts your jaw when you eat it. If it’s too crunchy, it won’t taste good. So, I was thinking if I should put some glutinous rice flour in it. After it’s boiled in water, it’ll be very smooth. I’ll add a little glutinous rice flour to this one, cook it, and when it’s cold, freeze it in a bamboo tube. Then, the frozen ice won’t be painful to bite on. It won’t hurt too much, and the taste should be more delicate.”

Liu Guixia and the others immediately laughed and said, “The brains of people who think about food are very different from ours. If it were us, we wouldn’t be able to think of this even if you beat us to death.”

Xue Yifu, who was making a pot under another shed, laughed foolishly.

Jiang Yue quietly added an appropriate amount of white sugar into the water in the pot. Then, she stirred the water with her chopsticks so that the sugar and salt in the pot would dissolve well.

Then, she covered the pot and said to Xue Yan, who was sitting by the stove, “It needs to be boiled.”

“Okay.” Xue Yan nodded and buried his head to put more firewood into the stove.

“Xue Yan, are you feeling hot?” Li Hehua quickly asked. “I’ll do it.” With that, she placed him aside and started handling the fire, not caring if he was hot or not.
