Chapter 111 - 111 Cold Glutinous Cake
111 Cold Glutinous Cake
She missed the detergent from before the apocalypse. Here, they could only use hot water and wood ashes to wash the dishes and remove the oil.
As wood ashes were too difficult to use, they basically only boiled water to wash the dishes at home. Every time she finished washing the dishes, there would be oil on her hands.
What was even more unbearable for her was that the villagers of this era mainly used wood ash to wash their hair and shower.
She still had a small amount of shampoo and soap left in her interspatial ring, otherwise, she would have a hard time.
However, this was not a long-term solution. When the house was built and she was not so busy, she wanted to make some honey locust shampoo and soap.
Well, perhaps she could also sell them.
Lin Xiaoyue made a note in her heart.
“Okay, then we’ll start cooking early tomorrow.” Aunt Wang said.
“Thank you, Aunt Wang.”
They had to serve so many people every day. She had to prepare a fire, cook, and boil water. Her mother wasn’t used to doing these things, so she wasn’t as nimble as Aunt Wang and Wang Erya.
She would also be called away by others from time to time to deal with other matters. Aunt Wang and Erya were basically in charge of the kitchen.
“No problem! It’s not like we did it for free!” Aunt Wang said with a smile.
She was willing to help the Liu family. Even if it wasn’t something related to cooking, she would still lend a hand.
It was not only because of the high salary and good food provided, but also because of the relationship between them and the Liu family.
Their entire family was able to earn money and ate well by helping them.
In these ten days, she felt that she had put on weight.
Lin Xiaoyue wanted to continue chatting with Aunt Wang, but she saw Li Xiao coming over with a bucket.
“The water is almost empty, we need to boil another pot.” He walked to Lin Xiaoyue and put the empty bucket aside.
“Alright! Please boil another pot of water.” Lin Xiaoyue looked at Aunt Wang.
“Sure!” Aunt Wang replied.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue turned around and went into the small shed, and then brought out a pot used to boil water.
After putting the pot on the stove, Aunt Wang started a fire.
Lin Xiaoyue was about to scoop water into the pot, but Li Xiao went up and lifted the water bucket, pouring the water straight into the pot.
Lin Xiaoyue did not stop him. She stood at the side and smiled at Li Xiao. She gave Li Xiao a thumbs up in her heart.
Aunt Wang also smiled at the two of them. When she looked at Lin Xiaoyue, her eyes had a teasing look.
Previously, Lin Xiaoyue would blush. Now, her skin had become thick. Not only did she not feel embarrassed, but she also returned a smile to Aunt Wang.
Li Xiao felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he turned around and picked up two empty buckets.
“I’ll go get two more buckets of water.” After saying that, he quickly left.
“Hehe, you have good taste.” After he was more than ten meters away, Aunt Wang smiled at Lin Xiaoyue.
“I agree.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded her head playfully.
Then, they laughed.
They continued working in the kitchen. Lin Xiaoyue used her sleeve to wipe her sweat.
She thought to herself, “it would be great if I could have a bowl of shaved ice.”
Then, Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Ice was very difficult to get in the past. However, it’s not impossible for her to make some cold glutinous cake.
Looking at the lime used by the construction team not far away, Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
When she was a child, she often watched her grandmother make cold glutinous cakes. Later, when she was older, she even made some with her grandmother. In the summer, they sold them at the market, and business was very good.
