Shen Yun swung the wooden pestle to pound the glutinous rice ball in the stone mortar again and again, but he didn't pound very fast.
This is mainly to give Tidom time to adapt, so that he won't be able to keep up with the rhythm and get hit on the hand by the wooden pestle.
Fortunately, the two of them cooperated well, and Shen Yunchong's speed in pounding the rice cakes gradually increased.
Under Shen Yun's guidance, Ohkawa Sae also sprinkled water on the glutinous rice ball in the stone mortar to prevent the rice cake from becoming hard.
Watching Shen Yun hammering the rice cakes one by one, which seemed to be no difficulty, Tidom felt eager to try it.
"Mr. Shen, let me try it too!" said Tidom.
"Okay." Seeing that Tidom was eager to try, Shen Yun chuckled and agreed directly.
Making rice cakes is far from as simple as it seems.
You know, the freshly steamed glutinous rice ball is very sticky. It is easy to beat it, but it is difficult to pick it up.
"You hit it, and I'll flip it over." Shen Yun handed the wooden pestle to Tidom, switched positions with her, and squatted in front of the stone mortar.
"Watch me." Tidom smiled, grasped the handle of the wooden pestle with both hands, swung the pestle and smashed it on the edge of the mortar, making a dull thud.
"It doesn't count this time, it doesn't count this time~" Seeing that she had hit it crookedly, Tidom's pretty face turned red and she waved her hands quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes~"
"I'm going to be serious this time!" Tidom's expression was serious. She slowly lifted the wooden pestle, aimed at the glutinous rice ball in the stone mortar, and smashed the wooden pestle in her hand hard.
"Bang!"
The wooden pestle hit the center of the glutinous rice ball, causing it to cave in.
"Great!" Tidom cheered secretly, then tried to lift the wooden pestle with both hands, but failed.
"What's going on?" Tidom looked confused. He exerted force with both hands holding the handle of the wooden pestle, and then his hands suddenly felt lighter.
"It hurts!" Tidom fell to the ground, cried out in pain, and rubbed his sore butt.
"Doctor, the rice cake is flying out!" Ohkawa Sae raised his head and looked at the glutinous rice ball stuck to the wooden pestle and flew out with the pestle, and said.
"Wrong decision..." Shen Yun was also stunned for a moment.
He really didn't expect this situation.
Although the child is stupid, he is very strong.
As a shrine maiden of the Fangbark Rangers, although Tidom cannot fight like the Fangbark Rangers, her physical fitness and strength are far beyond that of ordinary people, so it seems normal that she can throw sticky rice balls away.
At this time, the Yahoorangers who had replaced the new shimenawa ropes at various locations in the shrine also returned, carrying ladders.
The rice cake that Tidom accidentally threw away also fell towards the direction of the Fangrangers.
"Everyone! Hurry up and save the rice cake!" Ohkawa Sae shouted hurriedly.
"Rice cake?" Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a glutinous rice ball stuck to a wooden pestle, falling towards them together with the pestle.
"Watch me!" Washio Takeshi quickly took out his barking hand and transformed. He jumped on the spot, flew straight into the air, and grabbed the wooden pestle.
But, as luck would have it, the glutinous rice ball that was originally stuck to the wooden pestle slowly slid off the pestle after Washio-dake grabbed the pestle.
"Ah! Rice cake!" Others also exclaimed when they saw the rice cake slipping off the wooden pestle.
Gao Access! (Yawei Connection)
Seeing this, the lion took out his Yawei phone and rushed out. Then he pounced and caught the glutinous rice ball in his hand before it hit the ground.
"It's so hot and painful!" The lion quickly got up from the ground and threw the hot glutinous rice ball back into the stone mortar.
"Doctor, what are you doing? How can you beat the rice cake and make it fly away?" Washio Takeshi put the wooden pestle into the stone mortar and teased.
Tidom's cheeks flushed slightly, and he tilted his head with a guilty look on his face, agreeing, "Yes, yes, why?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Shen Yun saw this and tried to smooth things over with amusement, asking, "Do you want to try it?"
"Heavy work is Black's strong point, right Black?" Samezumi turned his head to look at Utatsu Sotaro and said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right." Niuda Sotaro nodded.
Shen Yun smiled without saying anything, and just handed the wooden pestle to Niu Da Sotaro.
Although making rice cakes is strenuous work, brute force alone is not enough.
Niu Da Sotaro took the wooden pestle, swung it up and smashed it down, then lifted it up with force.
Shen Yun wet his hands with cold water and turned the glutinous rice ball in the stone mortar over.
Then, Niuda Sotaro swung the wooden pestle and smashed it down again.
After hitting it back and forth for more than twenty times, Niuda Sotaro began to breathe heavily, his movements became slower and slower, and his arms became sore and difficult to lift.
"No, no, I can't fight anymore." Niuda Sotaro sat down on the ground, breathing heavily and waving his hands.
"Let me do it." Shen Yun took the wooden pestle with a smile and started swinging it again.
In just over ten minutes, the glutinous rice ball in the stone mortar was formed. The surface of the rice cake was smooth, white with a hint of beige, and had a texture like jade.
Shen Yun pulled a piece of rice cake from the stone mortar, dipped it in cooked soybean powder, and handed it to Tidom, saying, "Tidom, try it."
"Okay~" Tidom took the rice cake from Shen Yun and gently took a bite of the soft and glutinous rice cake. The salty fragrance of soybean powder and the sweetness of rice cake burst on the tip of his tongue, making Tidom couldn't help squinting his eyes.
"Oh vaguely!"
"You all come and try it too." Shen Yun turned to look at everyone and said with a smile.
"Oh!" The Yahoo Rangers didn't hesitate to cut a piece of steaming hot rice cake and stuffed it into their mouths.
"The taste is a little different from the usual rice cakes." Washio Take said while chewing the rice cake.
"It doesn't seem to be as sticky as ordinary rice cakes, and it has a very delicate texture, very chewy, and tastes very sweet." Niuda Sotaro exclaimed.
"This is how rice cakes are made in the doctor's hometown." Ohkawa Sae said with a smile.
"Okay, cut these rice cakes and store them first, and then make the rice cakes for making mirror cakes." Shen Yun called.
"Yes~"
Under Shen Yun's instructions, everyone lifted the beaten rice cakes from the stone mortar onto the table, rolled them flat with bamboo tubes, and then cut the cakes.
Seeing that Didom took out a kitchen knife, Shen Yun quickly stopped him and said, "Didom, you can't use a kitchen knife to cut rice cakes, you need to use cotton thread."
"Cotton thread?" Tidom looked puzzled.
"That's right. If you cut the freshly made rice cake with a knife, it will stick to the knife and destroy the shape of the rice cake. The best way is to cut the rice cake with cotton thread." Shen Yun nodded and explained.
Ohkawa Sae hurried back to the social affairs office, took out a piece of cotton thread and handed it to Shen Yun.
Shen Yun pulled the two ends of the cotton thread, tightened the cotton thread, and demonstrated to the Yahuirangers how to cut rice cakes with cotton thread.
The places where the cotton thread cuts are also very smooth.
“There’s another way.”
Everyone also picked up cotton thread, cut the rice cake on the table into long strips about the length of a finger, and piled them on the plates.
"Okay, once the rice cakes harden, you can soak them in water to preserve them." Shen Yun placed the pile of rice cakes in a cool place and said, "Next, let's make another basket of rice cakes to make mirror cakes."
"oh!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took action. Amidst the noise, the atmosphere in the shrine gradually became heated. (End of this chapter)
