Chapter 486 Snow Clothes Bean Paste (Please vote at the end of the month)
The old lady, who was originally frail and walked with a hunched back, now walked with great speed and was even faster than the young man who was jogging all the way.

This made the people who were delivering things back and forth on the street stunned, and they even rubbed their eyes to make sure that what they saw was real and not an illusion.

The people who were originally watching the fun burst into laughter again.

"People need dignity, and trees need bark, but some people have neither dignity nor bark, and they are not afraid of God's disapproval."

"How could such people know this? They only know how to climb the ladder. They want to take advantage of any little benefit without thinking about whether it will cause trouble to others."

"But then again, Madam Xia has become famous this time, so there will be more troubles like this in the future... Oh!"

"Whether it's a lot or not, doesn't it all depend on you guys? Put away your greedy thoughts and stop thinking about things you shouldn't think about. There won't be that many things!"

"That makes sense. Madam Xia is kind and should not always cause trouble for others. Not only should we do this ourselves, but we should also remind our family members..."

These words fell sporadically into Xia Mingyue's ears as she walked home along Xinghua Lane.

Xia Mingyue frowned slightly.

Her reputation will intimidate evil people, who will not dare to cause trouble for fear of the various connections behind her, thus ensuring her safety.

But at the same time, there are also some greedy people who are like flies and easily come over and make people very annoyed.

Everything is a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages. While enjoying it, you also have to pay some price.

It seems that during this period of time, except for necessary things, you should try to stay indoors, and it is best to politely refuse those who come to your door.

Xia Mingyue thought about this and after returning home, she told Zhuang Cui, Qingju and others about it and started to stay indoors.

In the following few days, Xia Mingyue no longer went out, and even the sale of rice dumplings a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival was handled by Lu and others.

Seeing this, many people naturally understood Xia Mingyue’s situation and helplessness at the moment.

After asking Mrs. Lu and others about Madam Xia's recent situation out of concern, she found out that there was nothing wrong with her, so she vented her resentment on those people who did not know the limits and importance of the matter.

"Madam Xia is a kind person. It's a good thing that she has been rewarded by the Queen. But there are people who can't bear to see her doing well and are trying to find trouble for her. It's really despicable!"

"Of course you are. You don't know anything about yourself, but you bring up all sorts of things. Do you think Madam Xia is a wishing tree in the temple? Doesn't everyone have to say something to her? If no one pays attention to you, you'll still be unhappy. Do you think you're so important?"

"The county magistrate is an official who has the opportunity to see the emperor every five years. Why doesn't anyone ask him to do things for them? Don't they think that Madam Xia is easy to talk to and want to pick on the weak?"

"I hate to see people bullying others because they are easy to talk to. Don't let me see those who are looking for trouble, or don't blame me for being blind with the knife in my hand!"

"I don't care about other things. I was not originally from Jinqiu County, but my whole family, young and old, survived thanks to Madam Xia's idea of ​​setting up a vinegar workshop. Madam Xia is the savior of my family. If anyone makes Madam Xia worried, I would rather die!" "..."

Many people who couldn't stand someone doing such shameless things made harsh remarks one after another. Even Pei Chenghe specially arranged some more yamen runners to increase the patrol shifts near Xinghua Lane.

After Manager Ge and Wu Xiong heard about this, they would always walk around the area to prevent trouble from people with evil intentions.

Therefore, those shameless people who were thinking of finding a way out could only temporarily give up their plans when they saw this scene.

The area around Xia Mingyue's house suddenly became much quieter, but considering that there would be many variables after going out, Xia Mingyue still followed her previous plan and stayed at home for a while with nothing to do. It was just the right time to take a break and recover from the fatigue caused by being too busy in the past period of time.

But rest is rest, and Xia Mingyue is not one who can sit idle. Now that she has some free time, she wants to go into the kitchen and cook in different ways.

This time it’s the sweets’ home turf.

To make snow-coated bean paste, use pure egg whites and use a homemade egg beater to beat them into a white cream. When it is thick enough that the egg white will not fall off even if the bowl is turned upside down, add starch and a little flour, stir evenly, wrap it with delicate bean paste, roll it into suitable round balls, and fry them in a 30% hot oil pan. When the surface is slightly golden and has a hard crust, you can put it on a plate and sprinkle some white sugar on it.

The beaten egg whites are paired with flour and starch, and the taste remains fluffy. The slightly burnt skin makes it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and fragrant. The red bean paste filling is extremely delicate, and tastes soft and sweet. It is perfect as a dessert after a meal, a tea snack, or a snack when you are lonely.

For egg cake, after separating the egg white and egg yolk, beat them with white sugar into a sufficiently thick cream. Then mix them with the previously separated egg yolk and flour. Pour the mixture into a mold and bake in the oven for a cup of tea before it is ready to be taken out of the oven.

Xia Mingyue likes egg cakes with a slightly crispy surface. She bakes it a little more during baking, so the color is a little light brown when it comes out of the oven, but the taste is that the surface is slightly burnt, while the inside is soft and tender, with a strong egg aroma.

Because the sweetness is just right, no matter how much of this soft and delicious egg cake you eat, you will feel like you are eating the first one, so fragrant and appetizing that you will want to eat half of it in one go.

Xia Mingyue was very satisfied with the snow-coated bean paste and egg cake that she made, and the others also liked them very much, so they simply freed up their hands to help separate the eggs and beat the egg whites, just to have one more bite.

Apart from anything else, beating egg whites is indeed a strenuous job. In the absence of an electric mixer, one has to rely entirely on hands to beat the egg whites, which takes more than half an hour without stopping.

Even Xia Mingyue, who was already accustomed to flipping the spoon and chopping the chopping board and had wrist strength greater than most people, still found it very strenuous to do this.

Now that someone came to help, Xia Mingyue was naturally happy to see it happen.

And such strenuous work finally fell on Mao Sanli, who was the strongest.

Mao Sanli did not disappoint everyone, beating the egg whites seemed effortless and he even beat one bowl after another without blushing or panting, looking extremely relaxed.

"At this critical moment, it still has to be Brother Mao." Qingju praised.

Thank you all for your blessings to our second baby. I hope that we can raise our frail second baby to be strong soon.
