Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

Lin Xiaoyue stopped after pouring eight lime water filled with half a barrel in a row.

She estimated the amount of each bucket of lime water, just enough to make a large pot of cold cakes.

One pot of cold cake can hold the amount of four wooden pots. It is more convenient to operate in this way.

After mixing the lime water, Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the empty water tank, thinking that Li Xiao would come back later and let him carry water again.

After mixing the lime water, Lin Xiaoyue rested for a while, also waiting for the lime water to stand still.

After about ten minutes, Lin Xiaoyue sent the lime water to the shed built on the side.

Next, pour the lime water onto the fixed filter cloth for filtration.

Because there were not enough water buckets, after vacating the empty bucket, Lin Xiaoyue had to scoop up water to clean the empty bucket.

Wash away the lime and impurities precipitated at the bottom of the empty bucket, and then use it to fill the filtered clean lime water.

The water tank in the yard had bottomed out, and it was too troublesome to go to the creek. Lin Xiaoyue could only fetch water from the kitchen water tank.

Fortunately, there was still a lot of water left in the kitchen tank, but it was enough for her.

Four buckets of lime water were filtered one after another, and a lot of unmelted lime and small particles had been stained on the filter cloth.

Lin Xiaoyue changed the filter cloth again before continuing to process the remaining lime water.

After all the lime water was finally filtered, the second filter cloth was also removed and placed in an empty bucket on the side.

Prepare to wait for the cold cake to be finished, and then send it to the creek for cleaning.

After finally finishing the lime water, Lin Xiaoyue brought two buckets of lime water into the kitchen and put it aside for later use.

After getting everything ready, I went to the mill.

In the mill, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu had already milled the rice milk to the same extent.

After Lin Xiaoyue arrived, she originally wanted to replace Aunt Wang's grinding mill.

But Aunt Wang refused to let it go, and insisted on pushing the mill to the end.

Lin Xiaoyue got started, cleaned up the stone mill, and then returned to the kitchen with the two of them carrying the milled rice paste.

Then came the cold cakes.

Lin Xiaoyue took out the cauldron for making cold cakes and put it on the stove.

Then he picked up a bucket of lime water and poured it into the pot.

Then, I scooped up the corresponding amount of rice milk with a water ladle and put it into the pot.

At the same time, Liu Shi had already started the fire and added firewood to the stove.

This is not the first time Liu Shi has made cold cakes with Lin Xiaoyue, and he is already very familiar with the temperature of making cold cakes.

There was still some time before the cold cake was ready, so Lin Xiaoyue carried a wooden barrel and took Aunt Wang to the shed in the backyard of the kitchen.

"This afternoon, we are going to make eight pots of cold cakes, four at a time. Later, auntie, you are mainly responsible for helping me send the cold cakes to the creek to cool down."

"Also, help send the wooden barrels and filter cloths filled with lime water to the creek to wash them, and then bring them back to dry."

The job sounds easy, but it's not easy.

Thirty or so pots of cold cakes and eight wooden barrels require many trips back and forth.

"Done!" Aunt Wang responded.

He took the wooden barrel in Lin Xiaoyue's hand, took the two filter cloths, and left.

Lin Xiaoyue went to the side shelf to get four wooden basins, and then went back to the kitchen to continue making cold cakes.

Before long, the cold cake will be cooked.

Lin Xiaoyue divided the cold cakes in the pot into four wooden basins, and then carried the wooden basins to the opposite chopping board, and waited for Aunt Wang to come back later and carry them to the creek.

Just thinking about Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang came back.

Seeing that the cold cake was out of the pot, he took two pots of cold cake and went out.

Lin Xiaoyue told Aunt Wang to slow down, and then went to wash the pot, ready to make the next pot of cold cakes.
