Yes, after making a pot of cold cakes, the pot had to be washed.
This was to wash up any remaining cooked cold cakes. If it continued to heat up, it would become mush.
It was easy for the cooked rice paste to get burnt, and a little bit of burnt smell would affect the whole pot.
Hence, Lin Xiaoyue busied herself in the kitchen for more than two hours before she finished making all eight pots of cold cakes.
When the last pot was out, Lin Xiaoyue washed the pot and cleaned up the kitchen. Only then was the work done.
Aunt Wang had already carried two buckets of cold cakes out.
Lin Xiaoyue muttered as she took off her apron.
"I'll go to town to deliver the goods later, and then I'll go to the grocery store and buy a few buckets and a big pot."
This time, Liu Shi did not stop her. In fact, she agreed.
"It's faster to cook two pots at the same time."
