Chapter 196: Chapter 192: Soapnut Rice_1

Yanru collected a large pile of soapberry fruit with the children, removed the seeds, cleaned the shells of silt, dried and then ground them in a stone mortar.

She bought a pig pancreas in advance, cleaned it of blood and fascia, diced it, and pounded it into a paste in a small stone mortar.

Afterward, she mixed the pig pancreas paste with the soapberry paste, adding some osmanthus and grinding again until all three were fully combined.

Yanru then brought two carved molds, pressing and shaping the paste within, letting it solidify naturally before overturning them to air dry; thus, a piece of osmanthus pancreas candy was made.

She made a total of twenty pieces of the candy, gave some to her sister-in-law, and her three younger siblings, and kept a few for herself.

She gave the remaining soapberry shells to Dani, Second Sister, and Yingbao, advising them to learn how to make the pancreas candy as well.
