Chapter 81 Date Cake
Seeing that Tang Ruanruan agreed, Ruan Nianxi did not stay any longer. She still had to go to work. Although she was the director, she could not go to the ban'gongshi too late.

Tang Ruanruan sent her to the intersection and then went back.

She could naturally see that Ruan Nianxi was depressed, but they were all adults and not close to each other. They were only related by blood, and Tang Ruanruan didn't want to spend time and energy comforting her and taking care of her emotions.

After calming herself down, Tang Ruanruan continued to live her life as before, getting up early and going to bed late to cook various foods.

Saturday came quickly.

Before going to bed, Tang Ruanruan thought that the grandmother must miss her daughter who had been missing for many years, so she went out of the room and went to the backyard.

Taking out the big red dates that she bought at the market a few days ago, Tang Ruanruan decided to make a date cake for the grandmother she had never met.

After washing the dates and removing the core, she took out the wooden pestle she had made in Tangshan.

Put the red dates with plump flesh in, hit the bottom of the tube with a smooth and round wooden stick at the front, and the dark red dates will quickly break into pieces.

When there were no longer any large pieces of date meat in the barrel, Tang Ruanruan added half a cup of water and continued to beat it.

After looking at the chopped dates in her hand and feeling that they were almost done, Tang Ruanruan took out a small pot and poured the chopped dates in the wooden barrel into it.

After lighting the fire and adding water, Tang Ruanruan stood in front of the pot and stirred it constantly.

Tang Ruanruan added a spoonful of sugar until the chopped dates and water in the pot blended into a silky cement-like consistency.

Then stir until a strong sweet aroma emanates from the pot. The date paste in the pot is already very thick. Pour the date paste into a large wooden bowl to cool. After working for a while, Tang Ruanruan is no longer sleepy and even wants to do something else.

She soaked some red beans and put them next to it, and took out a few small sweet potatoes and purple potatoes from the pile of sweet potatoes next to it.

Peel, wash and steam.

After going through the same steps as for making the date paste, Tang Ruanruan got two large bowls of sweet potato paste and purple potato paste.

Finally, boil the red beans until soft, crush them, add sugar and water to make red bean paste, also known as red bean paste.

Four full bowls were placed in front of Tang Ruanruan. She added flour and yeast to the date paste, added warm sugar water, kneaded it into dough, and placed it next to the stove to ferment.

After finishing all this, it was already late at night. Tang Ruanruan estimated that it was already past twelve o'clock.

A strong sense of sleepiness came over Tang Ruanruan, and she forgot about the anxiety in her heart while being busy. She fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

In her dream, she saw Ruan Xi.

She was the same gentle woman as in her memory, stroking her hair with soft hands. She half-knelt and smiled gently at her.

Tang Ruanruan was trapped in a dream and didn't want to wake up. Her gentle and kind mother was her deepest expectation.

There was a knock on the door and I woke up from the dream.
