114 Let It Cool in the Pond

Then, she poured the filtered water into the pot and placed it on the stove.

“Aunt, can I trouble you to help me boil this pot of liquid?” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said to aunt w.a.n.g.

“Sure!” Aunt w.a.n.g agreed.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, then went to the stream to wash the bucket and the rice.

When she came back, the water was about to boil.

“Please lower the fire a little. Next, change to medium fire.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

“Alright!” Aunt w.a.n.g smiled and did as she was told.

Lin Xiaoyue used a big wooden spoon to stir the ground rice pulp. Then, she stirred the water in the pot while pouring the rice pulp into the pot.

She mixed them together and slowed down the speed of stirring.

Soon, the rice pulp in the pot began to become sticky, and its color changed from white to a pale yellow.

Lin Xiaoyue continued to stir the thick rice pulp in the pot slowly. When the mixture began to bubble, she asked Aunt w.a.n.g to lower the heat.

When the small bubbles in the mixture turned into big bubbles, she quickly asked Aunt w.a.n.g to put off the small fire.

Then, she stirred it a few more times. When she felt that it was almost done, Lin Xiaoyue wrapped the two pot handles with the loofah she used to wash the dishes and moved the pot away from the stove.

She took the cleaned wooden bucket and put the cold glutinous cake batter into the wooden bucket.

She only filled half of the bucket, and Lin Xiaoyue poured the rest into three big bowls.

“Just like this, it’s done?” Aunt w.a.n.g saw the warm batter that Lin Xiaoyue made, and her eyes were filled with curiosity.

It looks like rice paste. Is it delicious?

“Not yet. I still have to put them in cold water to cool them down and wait for them to coagulate.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

Then, she went to the small shed and took out the largest wooden bucket in the house.

“Erya, help me carry the cold glutinous cakes. Let’s put them in the stream to cool them.” Lin Xiaoyue looked at w.a.n.g Erya.

“Alright, Yue’er!” w.a.n.g Erya hurried forward to help.

So Lin Xiaoyue and w.a.n.g Erya took the cold cakes to the stream.

In order to collect water to wash clothes, Li Xiao had dug two large ponds in the stream.

Lin Xiaoyue chose one of them and put some water into the big wooden bucket. Then, she put the big wooden bucket into the pond. She put the small wooden bucket with the cold cakes and three big bowls into the big wooden bucket.

In order to prevent mosquitoes and dust, Lin Xiaoyue also found a piece of cloth to cover the big wooden bucket.

At this moment, Lin Xiaozhi and Xiao Qing also came out to watch the fun.

When Lin Xiaoshi heard that his sister was making cold glutinous cakes, he couldn’t concentrate on studying with Xiao Qing in the shed.

That’s right, after more than ten days, Xiao Qing’s illness was almost fully recovered. However, his body was weak, and the Liu family didn’t dare to let him do anything.

It was Xiao Qing who was bored and saw that Lin Xiaozhi had the potential to be a top student, so he proposed to teach Lin Xiaozhi how to read.

Lin Xiaoyue and Liu Shi agreed and left Lin Xiaozhi to Xiao Qing. This was great. Not only did the child have someone to watch over him, but he could also learn something.

“When can I eat it?” Lin Xiaozhi’s eyes stared at the big wooden bucket in the pond and he swallowed.

Xiao Qing was also looking at it with a curious look in his eyes.

“Let’s wait for an hour.” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

They were actually edible once they cooled down, but they would taste better if they stayed in the pond for a while.

“Let’s go. Don’t stand here. I have to go prepare for dinner.” Lin Xiaoyue stood up and said to the three children.
