182 Mixing Lime Water
“You are exaggerating. The dishes are delicious because I put in a lot of seasoning.”
How could she not know her own skills? It’s possible to open a snack shop, but it’s not that easy to open a restaurant.
“I suppose. You’re really generous, putting so much oil in your meat dishes. The oil you added is enough for me to cook three or four dishes!”
“Also, I saw that you put scallions, ginger, and garlic in every dish. You’re so generous!” She didn’t usually add these spices. If there were green onions, she would occasionally add some. She almost never put ginger and garlic in dishes.
“Hehe, isn’t the purpose of earning money so that we could live better? If I’m not busy with business, I’d rather spend more time on food.”
After suffering so much in the apocalypse and finally coming to this world, of course she had to treat herself better.
“That’s true. You’re so young, but you’re wiser than me!”
Earning money was to live better. It was such simple logic.
However, there were too many people who didn’t understand, including herself.
Even if she agreed with her words, she could not live as casually as her.
It was because her family was too poor.
She hoped that next year, when Shuanzi got married, their family would be more relaxed.
As they spoke, the three of them quickly finished washing the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen.
After doing all this, Lin xXaoyue, Liu Shi and Aunt w.a.n.g sent the soaked rice to the mill.
“Aunt w.a.n.g, I’ll have to trouble you to help me grind the rice. I’ll go and prepare the lime water,” Lin Xiaoyue said to Aunt w.a.n.g.
“Go, leave this to me and your mother.” Aunt w.a.n.g immediately said.
She knew that in addition to rice, Yue’er’s cold cakes also required lime water.
If she had not seen with her own eyes how Yue’er mixed lime water to make the cold cakes, she would not have believed that such delicious cold cakes were actually made from lime water.
After the Liu family finished building the house, Erya wanted more cold cakes. In addition, Shuanzi and his father also missed the taste of the cold cakes, so she and Erya tried to make some at home.
However, she realized that it was inedible.
Later on, Erya even asked Yue’er why they failed.
It was only after listening to Yue’er’s explanation that she found out that the amount of lime water must be exact.
She and Erya looked at how simple when Yue’er made them, but in fact, the proportion was very delicate.
If no one taught them how to make it step by step, it was impossible to make them at home.
Even if they could, the taste would be bad.
At that time, when they knew that Yue’er was going to start a cold cake business, they did not ask about her recipe anymore.
It wasn’t appropriate for them to inquire about things that other people used to earn money.
Now that she heard that Yue’er was going to mix the lime water, she did not ask further.
Yue’er trusted them so much and took care of their family. She couldn’t be greedy and ruin the relationship between the two families.
“I’ll help,” Liu Shi said.
“Then I’ll go now. I’ll come back to help after I’m done mixing the lime water.”
Lin Xiaoyue went to the backyard to make lime water.
She had to make about 32 buckets of cold cakes today, which required a lot of lime water.
She used a wooden bucket to get water from the big water tank in the yard. Then she began to add lime water into the bucket.
