Chapter 62 Baking Steamed Buns and Cabbage
"Husband, please forgive me, but I didn't discipline my daughter well." Mrs. Tian's face was full of shame.
"Yes." Jiang Yihe nodded, "The bamboo fruit does grow a little on the wrong side. It is the fault of the son not to teach his father. It is indeed the mother's responsibility for the daughter not to teach. You should teach her more in the future. Bamboo fruit, so that she won't be so rude after going out and make other people laugh."
"Yes." Seeing that Jiang Yihe didn't get angry and just said a few words lightly, Tian felt relieved. , but became more and more ashamed.
Jiang Yihe pursed his lips, "Actually, I have something else I want to ask you for help with..."
"Forget it, just pretend I never said anything." Jiang Yihe waved his hand and turned back to the house.
"Husband, tell me what you have to say, why are you being polite to me?" Tian quickly followed, "No matter how difficult it is, it is my husband's business, and it is my business. Husband and wife should share weal and woe."
Jiang Yihe Weihong He closed his eyes and held Tian's hand, "If you have a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for? In fact, it is such a thing..."
"I heard from my classmates that this fall, in addition to the results of the imperial examination, In addition, there are two filial piety tributes in the hands of the county magistrate. Lian's quota can add luster to the scientific examination. At present, many people are thinking of visiting the county magistrate in order to gain his favor. "
"I also want to go with you, but I am going to see you now. It is inevitable that I will take some belongings with me. I was short of money and really had nothing to offer, so I thought that my wife still had a pair of silver bracelets as a dowry, so I wanted to borrow them and pawn them for silver. If I could go to high school this fall, I would redeem the bracelets for my wife. "
"I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small matter." Mrs. Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "Since your husband is planning for fame, I will naturally support him wholeheartedly."
After saying that, Mrs. Tian entered. She dug out the deeply buried wooden box in the corner of the earthen bed, found her pair of silver bracelets, and gave them to Jiang Yihe.
Jiang Yihe weighed it in his hands.
Although the silver bracelet is large, it is hollow and not heavy. Moreover, due to its age, the surface has become somewhat black, and the quality does not look good.
The amount of silver that could be pawned was much less than he expected.
However, it was enough for him to spend some time.
"Thank you, madam." Jiang Yi and Okita made a deep bow.
"Husband, you're welcome." Tian's eyes also turned red.
The so-called respecting each other as guests is nothing more than this.
She really found a wonderful man.
I hope that my husband will get what he wants this year...
When Jiang Zhuguo returned to Xia Mingyue's home, the sun had already set halfway, and the sunset glow in half of the sky illuminated the entire small courtyard in red. of.
Xia Mingyue is making steamed buns in the yard.
Dead noodles, baked directly in the pot without adding any oil or salt, are as thin as paper and can be rolled into steamed buns.
Previously, Liu Caisheng put a flat and thin iron spatula on a specially built small stove and burned a handful of wheat straw under it.
The spatula material is very thin and heats up quickly. The thin round buns that were just placed on it quickly formed small bubbles one by one due to the absorption of heat.
Turn over, the small bubbles slowly gather into large bubbles, turning the whole steamed bun into a bulging balloon. When the steamed bun is baked, both sides will be slightly burnt and still remain soft. , before it was completely browned and crispy, Xia Mingyue put the cooked steamed buns into the steamed bun basket on the side.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhuguo rushed over to help light the fire and turn the buns.
Xia Mingyue freed up her hands and concentrated on kneading the dough, quickly rolling it into pancakes. Her hand speed was quite fast, and the small rolling pin with two pointed ends was flying up and down, which dazzled everyone watching. "I suddenly got craving for this steamed bun in the afternoon, and I was in a hurry to do it all by myself. Fortunately, you're back." Xia Mingyue saw the cucumbers and beans in the small bamboo basket as she spoke, and she smiled crookedly, "I was still worried about this steamed bun." What kind of food are you bringing here?”
"I just thought that Sister Xia might want to eat it, so I picked some in my vegetable field." Seeing that he could just help Xia Mingyue, Jiang Zhuguo raised his eyebrows proudly.
Flip the steamed bun on the spoon smoothly.
Xia Mingyue smiled, while speeding up the rolling of the buns in her hands, while thinking about the dishes to be made later.
After all the steamed buns were rolled out and the Liujiang Bamboo Fruit was cooked there, Xia Mingyue began to choose vegetables and cut meat.
Blank the long beans and cut into dices, chop the pork belly into grainy meat cubes, and put them into a pot with sautéed onions, ginger and garlic. Simply add some salt, soy sauce and rice wine, and it will be fragrant. The minced pork and beans are ready to be cooked.
In order to enhance the taste of the minced pork and beans and make the steamed buns and rolls taste more exciting, Xia Mingyue added some extra small red peppers when cooking.
After the minced pork and beans came out of the pot, Xia Mingyue made another dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes and a simple cold cucumber dish.
Put enough vinegar in the potato shreds, and put some fresh nepeta leaves in when cucumbers are served cold.
Finally, half a pot of white flour porridge was cooked, and two frangipani flowers were smashed on top.
After the busy work is completed, the food is put on the table and the meal begins.
Put the steamed bun in your hand, tear a slit about one-third in diameter along one-third of the entire steamed bun, fold the bottom of the big half up, and then fold the smaller half sideways. Shape it into a groove and evenly add enough shredded potatoes and minced meat and beans.
Fold the bottom to seal, and then roll up the dish completely from the vertical fold line. A complete Luo Mo roll that will not leak at all and can be eaten to your heart's content is completed.
When you take a bite of the neatly wrapped steamed bun, it has a chewy texture. The fragrance of flour, the spiciness of minced meat and beans, and the sourness of vinegar-coated potato shreds all spread in your mouth.
The long shredded potatoes and diced beans both have a crispy texture, which is completely different from the chewy steamed buns but complement each other. In addition, the meat is fragrant and crispy when you pick it up with chopsticks from time to time. Cucumber, and then a bite of smooth and soft white flour porridge...
There is nothing more enjoyable in life than this.
Xia Mingyue loves this steamed bun very much, and she has a big appetite now, and the steamed bun does not require oil or salt, so she will not get tired of it no matter how much she eats. So after this dinner, Xia Mingyue ate four large sheets alone. .
That night, Xia Mingyue felt that her stomach was a little stretched and it was a little difficult to bend down.
In order to eat, Xia Mingyue walked in the yard in the dark.
One lap, two laps, three laps...
Wu Jin, who was drinking porridge, saw Xia Mingyue's movements and stopped eating.
Why do you feel like you have seen this scene before?
After thinking for a long time, Wu Jin finally didn't figure it out and just lowered his head and continued to drink porridge.
Egg porridge is so delicious!
——
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter day by day.
Liangpi, a highly seasonal food, suddenly surpassed wontons and became the most popular food at Xia Kee food stalls. In order to enrich the product variety, Xia Mingyue tried making and improving the taste several times before making the food. There are new cold noodles on the stall.
銊子, with four sounds of ao, is a very local pan, a bit like the pan used to make pancakes and fruits, but the one we have here has a slight protrusion in the center, and it can be used as a pan by placing three bricks on it. .
"Laomo" is pronounced in the Luo dialect. I can't find a suitable word, so I will temporarily use this closest word instead. It is a bit like Shandong pancakes, but softer and tougher, and it is not made with paste. Instead, knead the noodles, roll them into paper-thin cakes, and bake them on a griddle. When they are still soft, they are called baked buns. If they are baked longer, they will become completely crispy. We call them burnt buns here. It tastes good and is sprinkled with sesame seeds, which makes it delicious. I will write the following chapters if I have the chance~
