The water in the pot had already boiled when they were steaming the noodles. As soon as the lid was covered, it fogged up. In a short while, the liangpi on the plate was steamed.

If the bottom of the plate was directly placed against the hot water in the pot, the liangpi would be cooked faster. This was the only way to ensure that it was in perfect condition when it was done.

He took out the plate and put the bottom of the plate in cold water to make it easier for the liangpi to come off.

Jiang Yue took off the liangpi and put it on another clean plate that Xue Yan brought over.

This large round liangpi looked transparent, chewy, and elastic.

Liu Guixia and the others were watching from the side. They were stunned by the situation. What’s going on? Why was it bouncing like that?

Jiang Yue didn’t rush to steam another plate, but asked Xue Yan to cut the liangpi into wide strips and taste it. Although the taste was not obvious because there were no side dishes and seasonings, it was really chewy and smooth.

After that, Jiang Yue let Xue Yan, Liu Guixia, and the others have a taste.

“This is really good and smooth.” Li Hehua couldn’t help but say.

“I’ve definitely never seen this in town before.” Yu Hongyan was also very happy.

“Me either,” Liu Guixia couldn’t stop smiling.

Xue Yifu smiled naively and said, “This is great. There will be one more dish for the stall. It doesn’t smell good though…”

“We haven’t added any seasoning yet,” Liu Guixia said with a smile. “You’re just eating the thing unseasoned. That’s why.”

“That’s true, that’s true.” Xue Yifu kept nodding his head, his smile especially cheeky.

Xue Yan didn’t say anything. Jiang Yue had told him in the morning, so he knew what it would be like. “That’s good. Sifu would definitely be very happy with this.”

“It’s just like the skin, ” Jiang Yue said. “It’ll be a cold dish… Maybe liangpi?”

“Jiang Yue, you’re good at giving names. Each one is more fitting than the last.” Liu Guixia and the others laughed.

Then, they started to steam the liangpi again.

Placing them one by one would take up too much s.p.a.ce, so they decided that it was best to stack them up. However, in order to prevent the liangpi from sticking to each other, they had to brush a little oil on the liangpi, then put another one on top. Then, they had to brush a little oil again, and then put a third one. This went on and on.

Yu Hongyan looked at them without blinking. She couldn’t help but say, “It’s said that women look like their mothers. I used to think that it was a lie, but now it’s true. Look at Jiang Yue, she can also cook so well.”

Jiang Yue didn’t say anything, but in her heart, she felt that the original owner’s mother, who was good at cooking, had helped her a lot.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan stopped after all the white flour paste was steamed.

The little pot was also returned to Liu Guixia and the others for their rice noodles.

Xue Yan helped to put the stack of liangpi together with the plate into a deep basin and then covered the basin with a clean sieve. Then, he took a basket and said to Liu Guixia, “Mother, Jiang Yue wants to go to the vegetable garden to see if there are any vegetables that can go with this liangpi. Jiang Yue and I can go by ourselves.”

“Go on, go on.” Liu Guixia said. Then, she thought of something. “By the way, the corn in the garden was planted earlier than in the field, so it should be ready to be eaten. When you come back, break a few and we can cook them for you tonight.”

“Okay.” Xue Yan agreed, then held Jiang Yue’s hand with his other hand and brought her out.

“Also pick some cuc.u.mber for the side dish. There’s no need to go through so much trouble.” Jiang Yue said as she followed Xue Yan to the vegetable garden. “We can cut the cuc.u.mber into shreds and add them in.”

“Okay.”

“The corn in the garden can be plucked back to eat. I think it won’t be long before the corn in the field can be plucked back too.”
