6. Scallion pancakes

After Ming Yijun said this, he turned around and went back to the room to rest.

Leaving Zhan Lu standing stunned, her face wet and cold, blown by the wind.

Hearing him agree, her mood was a little calmer. It's just that whenever she thinks of his strange reaction, she always feels a little uneasy.

She still has to get along with him for twenty years, even if this matter is settled, what else will happen in the future?

Beasts are beasts, and although they look like people, they are not the same as people. She couldn't figure out what was in his head.

After all, is it right or wrong for her to beg him to stay?

Ming Yijun didn't show up again all day, it was just right that he didn't show up, but Zhan Lu was busy. Her luggage was already packed, but now she had to open it and spread it out in the room. Before, she thought that the liquor store was going to change hands, so she had already informed the few vegetable vendors and butchers who usually sent her vegetables and meat that they didn't have to send them in the future, and they had to say hello again and again today, and reopen tomorrow.

As for Ah Zhen, when she first took shape, she still thought that the Lord would come to pick her up soon, but after so many years of being outcast, she had long understood that she was just wishful thinking, and this time Ming Yijun returned here by chance, which was really unexpected for her. She knew that the Lord had always been strict with his subordinates, so she trembled and served carefully. Seeing that Ming Yijun was resting in the room and didn't go out, he put the prepared dinner at the door. Knock on the door twice, but don't dare to knock hard, for fear of disturbing him.

Zhan Lu has been with Ah Zhen since she was a child, and she knows that Ah Zhen has always been lazy and doesn't care about everything. I've never seen her so cautious, and I can't help but be amazed. I slept with her at night, smiled and asked her:

"Ah Zhen Niang, are you so afraid of him?"

Ah Zhen rolled his eyes at her:

"It's not called fear, it's called worship. There are thousands of servants of the Lord, and now I can serve the Lord closely, and such a blessing cannot be asked for. ”

Zhan Lu looked at her proudly, just snorted twice, didn't say anything, and looked very disdainful.

Ah Zhen looked at her and sighed:

"You're still young, and you'll understand in two years. ”

"I'm not young, it's obviously a strange lady!"

The two of them jokingly quarreled for half a night before they fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Ah Zhen got up early to serve Ming Yijun to freshen up, and Zhan Lu also began to prepare breakfast.

In the past, there were only two people, her and Mrs. Aji, and breakfast was always finished with a casual bite. Now that Ming Yijun is here, he naturally can't fool the past casually. It happened that the little brother who delivered the vegetables today sent more than a dozen eggs, Zhan Lu thought about it, and then broke up the eggs and prepared to steam the egg custard.

When Zhan Lu was a child, she once saw her mother steaming egg custard, beating a few eggs, beating them with chopsticks, adding some water, stirring well, putting a little salt, chopping the green onion finely, and sprinkling it on top with the shrimp skin.

She did as she remembered her mother, and the green onions floating on the egg wash were verdant, and it looked really good.

It's just that she's never done it after all, so she's still a little uneasy. She took the largest steamer, poured water, and divided the beaten egg mixture into several portions and put it in to steam.

At this time when steaming egg custard, Zhan Lu was not idle. She made noodles and baked scallion pancakes.

This kind of dim sum is often made by Zhanlu, so it is handy. Knead the dough, cut the green onions, roll the green onions and oil in the noodles and make cakes, smell it, it is fragrant.

Zhan Lu remembered the egg custard in her heart, and when she was making scallion pancakes, she would go over every once in a while and lift the lid of the steamer to take a look. But maybe it's because the weight is too big, Zhan Lu watched it a few times, but the egg custard didn't solidify.

But when she finished baking the cake and lifted the lid again, the egg custard that should have been smooth and shiny turned into a honeycomb shape, and she steamed old.

After all, it's the first time to steam, and it's not surprising that it doesn't do well. Fortunately, the scallion pancake is quite good, which can completely make up for the lack of egg custard.

Zhan Lu looked outside the kitchen, Ming Yijun had been waiting for a long time. She hurriedly picked up the egg custard and scallion pancakes and put breakfast in front of Ming Yijun.

Ming Yijun smiled when he saw the egg custard:

"I've never seen egg custard steamed like this, and this time it's really insightful. ”

According to Zhanlu's usual temper, if you hear someone mock you like this, you will be angry. But the ancestor in front of her was about to eat people at every turn, and she really couldn't afford to offend, so she only laughed twice with an old cheek:

"The first time I steamed, I didn't steam well, Lang Jun forgave me. ”

Ming Yijun didn't say anything else, stretched out two slender fingers, picked up a slice of scallion pancake, opened his lips and tasted it.

With just one bite, Ming Yijun's brows furrowed. He swallowed the piece of bread in his hand and said to Zhan Lu:

"It's also difficult for the old customers in your store, in order to take care of your business, this kind of thing can actually be eaten. ”

Zhan Lu usually makes scallion pancakes, and the customers usually buy them home to eat, and the sales are not bad. Therefore, Zhan Lu has always been quite confident in her skills in making scallion pancakes. Hearing Ming Yijun say this, her face fell suddenly.

"Even if you can't taste it, you should be able to understand how failed this scallion pancake is, you can taste it yourself. ”

Zhan Lu was indignant in his heart, took a piece of cake, and took a bite of it.

Isn't that good? She can't taste it, but her sense of smell isn't bad. This scallion pancake smells so good!

Zhan Lu's disbelief was all written on his face, and Ming Yijun saw it clearly, sighed, and said:

"Scallion pancakes don't just have the smell of green onions. A good scallion pancake, when you bite into it, you need to be able to feel the crunch and firmness at the same time. If you look at the cakes you make, the water and puff pastry are not enough, they are dry and hard, and they do not meet the standard of scallion pancakes at all. ”

Zhan Lu was a little embarrassed, but listened to Ming Yijun pointing:

"To make scallion pancakes, use flour and cold water with a little salt on top of 60% and a half, and then slowly knead it into half water. Wake up for two quarters of an hour and roll out into thin slices. Then use flour to make puff pastry, add a little salt to the puff pastry and green onion and sprinkle it on the pastry, then roll the cake into a roll and coil it, wake up for three moments, and finally roll it into a cake and put it in the pot to cook, and beat it more in the process of branding, so that the puff pastry layer can be separated. ”

Zhan Lu never knew that making a scallion pancake also had so much knowledge, and she was dumbfounded.

Ming Yijun frowned slightly:

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you do it again!"

Zhan Lu hurriedly went back to the kitchen and redid it according to what Ming Yijun said. Be cautious and don't dare to be sloppy at all.

She redid it a few times before she got Ming Yijun's approval. At this time, it was not early, Zhan Lu packed up and prepared to open the store.

Zhan Lu usually opens a shop before noon, some farmers who come to the county to sell vegetables or run errands, sell vegetables at noon, earn dozens of copper coins, maybe stop here, play half a pot of wine, ask for a small dish, the cost is not much, but you can taste it slowly.

Sometimes, some traveling merchants or travelers happen to pass by and sit down for a meal, so that they can earn a little more. In any case, the business of this liquor store is nothing more than barely supporting. Most of the wealthy customers entered the proud building opposite.

As soon as Zhan Lu opened the door, an old patron Wang Da came over and asked:

"What new dish did you make? ”

Zhan Lu smiled and agreed:

"I just baked the scallion pancake, today's scallion pancake is not as usual, it costs five cents a piece, Uncle Wang would like to buy one and try it?"

That Wang Da was a little too expensive, hesitated for a while, looked at Zhan Lu's sweet smiling face, and was embarrassed not to buy it, so he had to say:

"Then take one and bring it back to my family to eat. ”

Zhan Lu took a piece of bread, wrapped it in oiled paper and handed it to him. Wang Da opened the oil paper and felt a burst of aroma coming to his face. I saw that the scallion pancake was burned golden, and the green of the green onion could be faintly seen inside, and the crispy layers of the scallion pancake were overlapped, which was very exquisite.

Wang Da was not very hungry, but when he saw this scallion pancake, he suddenly felt hungry. He picked up the cake and took a bite, his teeth touching the crispy skin of the scallion pancake, making a pleasant crunch sound, and the inside of the cake was strong but not hard. The oil fragrance contains the fragrance of the face, the fragrance of the face with the fragrance of green onions, and the three fragrances are intertwined and mixed, which is very luscious.

Wang Da stood at the door, ate the whole cake in a few bites, and felt that he was still unfinished:

"Ah Lu, get three more cakes for Uncle! No, five!"

Zhan Lu grinned, watching Wang Da eat six cakes before stopping, he wiped his oiled mouth, and said with a smile:

"The money was originally asked by the old woman to sell meat, but I didn't expect to buy bread here to eat. When I go back, my wife will blame me. Ah Lu, you can fill six more cakes, and the uncle will take them back and give them to the old woman to eat, so as to stop her mouth. ”

Zhan Lu smiled and agreed, filled Wang Da with bread, and sent him out. At this time, there are more people on the streets. Everyone knew that Wang Da was a glutton, and when they saw that he had bought so many cakes, they all came to buy cakes and taste new ones, and for a while, Zhan Lu was very busy. It is said that Ah Zhen should be on the side to help at this time, but she didn't know where to hide Qingjing, Zhan Lu never saw her figure, so she had to be busy alone.

This scallion pancake had just been sold out, and six or seven people suddenly walked into the store.

These people are dressed in Taoist crowns, and at a glance they know that they are a group of Taoist priests. Most of them were men in their twenties and thirties, and the oldest looked no more than forty years old, and they were different from mortals.

Zhan Lu hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and poured hot water for them:

"A few Taoist leaders looked at Mian Sheng, are you new to this place?

One of the young Taoist priests was particularly exquisitely dressed, with a particularly delicate expression, with a green silk hair tied in a bun on his head, and some broken hair scattered unkemptly, even more free. He bowed his head to her in thanks, and then said:

"The poor road is called Qingxuan, and several poor road masters and apprentices are here from Taibai Mountain. Yesterday, it rained heavily, and the patriarch pinched his fingers and found that the rain was done by demons, so he came here to subdue demons and eliminate demons. May I ask this good believer, have there been any people in Qingping County recently?"

This Qingxuan Daoist's appearance is actually only delicate, but those beautiful eyes are full of three points of enchantment, at this time he raised his eyes to look at her, and that expression was enough to seduce the soul. If it weren't for Zhan Lu's previous appearance of Ming Yijun's beauty, I am afraid that it would be planted in the hands of this person at this time.

When she heard the man's words, her heart jumped. If there is anything alive, it naturally refers to Ming Yijun. She looked left and right, but fortunately, Ming Yijun was not there, so she probably went back to the room early to rest.

These Taoist priests came rashly, but they didn't know what their skills were. If you don't have the ability to do anything, and you hit that evil star, wouldn't it be a death?

But if these Taoist priests can't die, then it will be Ming Yijun who will die. Her sense of taste has not yet recovered, if these Taoist priests really accept Ming Yijun, where will she find such a person to treat her illness?

No, no, we still have to send these Taoist priests away quickly.

Thinking of this, she smiled innocently and said:

"Dao Chief, my family has a wine shop, and the news is the most influential. If any living man enters the city, I know for sure. It's just that it rained so hard yesterday, who would brave the rain to come?"

Seeing that she refused to speak, the Qingxuan Daoist said:

"You don't know this good faith, this matter is very important, this demon is extraordinary, if you indulge him to bring disaster to the world, you will definitely be ruined. ”

Zhan Lu shook his head and didn't know, and the Qingxuan Daoist had to say:

"The demon has been injured, and now his mana is weak, and it is difficult to kill him. Therefore, he turned into a man, wearing a white robe, describing him as suave and suave, and the most confusing. If the good faith sees him, don't be confused by him, and quickly send people to Taibai Mountain to look for me. ”

Zhan Lu responded one by one, and the Taoist priests left. Seeing them go out, Zhan Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

These Taoist priests went out and walked out more than 20 steps, and a Taoist priest was full of doubts and asked Qingxuan Daoist:

"Uncle Shi, that little girl is clearly lying, why didn't Uncle Shi expose her?"

Qingxuan Daoist didn't speak, clenched the seven-star sword in his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a vague smile.
