Chapter 465 - 460: Making Mochi



After Qin Xue finished getting distressed, she washed up, went back to her room, changed into another set of clothes, and came out to begin sorting out the ingredients they had bought in the afternoon.

Qin Xue planned to make mochi and claypot rice cake. Mochi is a special snack in the Southern Region.

There are two ways to make mochi, one is using glutinous rice flour, and the other is using glutinous rice. To make mochi with glutinous rice, one must wash the rice clean, steam it with water, then put it into a stone mortar to grind. After the rice is ground evenly, the stuffing can be added.

Qin Xue took out the ingredients she planned to use for the stuffing. She wanted to make two flavors, one savory and the other sweet.

For the savory filling, Qin Xue made vermicelli, jelly ear, and shredded radish. Qin Xue soaked the jelly ear and vermicelli in hot water. Then, she pulled a white radish out of her space, washed it, and finely chopped it into thin slices.

After the jelly ear and vermicelli were soaked and washed, she drained the water and chopped them finely. She then fried the three chopped ingredients together, adding seasoning to create a fragrant and salty filling.

For the sweet filling, Qin Xue used peanuts and sesame seeds that were roasted and crushed, then mixed it evenly with brown sugar.

After the fillings were prepared, Qin Xue set them aside.

She took out the glutinous rice flour, put it in a bowl, and mixed it evenly with boiling water.

She shaped the dough into small pieces, flattened them, and filled them with the stuffing. She rolled them into rounds, flattened them again, and placed them in steamer trays lined with vegetable leaves to steam until they were cooked.

In her previous life, her grandmother used to make mochi for her as well. When her grandmother made it, she would mix raw glutinous rice flour evenly, pinch it into dough balls, boil it, scoop it up, drain the water, grind it to a paste, and then directly eat it after filling it with stuffing.

However, Qin Xue didn’t have the strength to grind the cooked glutinous rice balls to an even paste using that method. If she didn’t grind it evenly and there were lumps, it wouldn’t taste good.

As Chu Molin had to go to work and Qin Xue didn’t want to hold him up, she gave up on her grandmother’s method and chose the easiest and most convenient one – steaming them directly.

Qin Xue made quite a lot of mochi because she wanted to take some to Mr. Xie’s and Mr. Xu’s families after they were done.

Recently, since she had been staying in the hospital, she hadn’t been in contact with Fang Hong and Yu Xiu and didn’t know how their businesses were doing.

Especially Fang Hong, who had recently been running the business outside. Qin Xue also remembered that Fang Hong had finished her medicine.

Logically, she should have consummated her marriage with Mr. Xie by now. Qin Xue wondered if she was pregnant?

When Fang Hong came back, Qin Xue had to ask her about these matters and understand the situation.

She couldn’t just neglect these issues due to her own carelessness; that would be unfair to Fang Hong.

Qin Xue also wondered how Nangong Shulan and her brother were doing after they went back home.

Although Nangong Shulan wasn’t Qin Xue’s biological mother, she was the biological mother of the body she now inhabited. Especially since she looked so much like her mother from her previous life and was so good to her.

Qin Xue always had a special feeling in her heart, as if Nangong Shulan was her mother in her previous life, and she had come to this time to find her mother.

Now, whether Nangong Shulan was her mother or not, as long as her mother was living a happy life in this world, it was enough for Qin Xue.

Because that’s what she wanted to see, as long as her mother felt happy, she was willing to do anything.

As Qin Xue made the mochi, she pondered various questions in her mind.

In her previous life, she also had brothers and sisters, but she wasn’t close to them and their relationship wasn’t good. In this life, however, her siblings were very good to her.

As long as her family was harmonious, Qin Xue didn’t mind working hard. Wasn’t what she had always longed for was the warmth of a family?

Since she got her wish in this life, she wouldn’t let anyone destroy it.
