After walking around twice and having an idea, it was already afternoon when I returned to the groceries shop. Zhen Sheng first went to find his third uncle Chen Qiucheng and told him his thoughts. came to the door of the third uncle's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in. ”

Zhen Sheng pushed open the door and walked in, and the third uncle changed into the same dress as yesterday, and sang Peking Opera leisurely in the room. It's strange that I didn't see the third aunt today, maybe I'm busy. When the third uncle saw that it was Zhen Sheng, he could ask.

"Zhen Sheng, have you had lunch? Why don't you let the guy buy you two buns?"

Zhen Sheng resigned, after all, there are more important things than eating.

"Third uncle, I've eaten it, and I ate white buns. Oh, by the way, why didn't you see the third aunt today?"

Chen Qiucheng understood that Zhen Sheng was prevaricating himself, after all, he was also familiar with the road of happiness. He didn't know what to eat, where did the white bun come from. Obviously hungry!

"Oh, your third aunt went to Xicheng to play. I'll be back later. Zhen Sheng, the white bun you eat? Xingfu Road doesn't sell this thing. ”

Zhen Sheng scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Ah, third uncle. Really ate it. What do you think I'm going to do if I sell white buns on Happiness Road?"

The third uncle seemed to have heard something incredible, and the boss opened his mouth, and even raised his voice by a few decibels.

"What?!!Selling white buns. ”

"Yes, Third Uncle. Sell white buns. ”

Zhen Sheng nodded and said with great certainty.

"Zhen Sheng, every family steamed this white bun by themselves, who are you selling it to! No, no... Definitely not..."

Chen Qiucheng looked at Zhen Sheng and shook his head incessantly. At that time, a lot of things were made at home, and there were really too few things to buy. This is obviously a meat bun beating a dog, and there is a business of going and not returning.

"Third uncle, I'm not selling it to you. Naturally, I know that most of them are steamed at home. ”

Chen Qiucheng didn't know what kind of medicine Zhen Sheng's gourd was selling! Just listen to what he meant, don't sell it to us? So who can you sell it to? Then Chen Qiucheng frowned.

"Then who do you sell it to? If you don't sell it to us, then you're not steaming for nothing?"

"Third uncle, how can it be white. There are so many people coming and going every day, and the food here is not cheap, and you can't earn a few dollars for a batch of goods. ”

Zhen Shenghan replied to Chen Qiucheng with a smile, and this explanation also made Chen Qiucheng suddenly realize.

"So you're going to sell to those who pull the goods?"

"Yes, Third Uncle. I don't want to ask if I need the big pot at home tomorrow, if not, I want to steam a pot and try it. ”

Zhen Sheng asked Chen Qiucheng's opinion, and Chen Qiucheng was relieved by Zhen Sheng's thoughts at this time. If he was his age, he would never dare to make such a decision.

"Okay, let's try. But I'm going to try the first one!"

"No problem, third uncle, then you are busy first, I'll go see our noodles." ”

Zhen Sheng responded and exited Chen Qiucheng's room. I went to the multigrain shop and looked at the noodles of different qualities. I felt the money in my pocket, and I thought I'd order it in the bag. He said to the man, took the money and asked the man to carry it directly to the firewood room.

Zhen Sheng walked into the kitchen, and he began to recall his mother's usual steamed steamed buns. At that time, the steamed bread was to be old and fat, and if you want to make steamed bread, you must get fat in advance. Zhen Sheng first found a big basin in the kitchen, dug a scoop of white noodles carried by the guys, grabbed a small handful of alkali and put it in the large basin, and then added water and began to mix the noodles. did it in a good way, and the noodles were kneaded out by Zhen Sheng at once. After kneading the noodles, Zhen Sheng sprinkled dry noodles on the wet noodles and covered them with another basin. I thought to myself, tomorrow I will add a little alkali and add a few more scoops of noodles to knead it and it will be steamed.

It was getting late, Zhen Sheng first went to the third uncle's for dinner, and then went to rest early. Tomorrow, there will be a "tough battle" to be fought, and only after a good rest can we have the strength to work, right?

…

Early the next morning, Zhen Sheng got up early. Go to the kitchen and start a "show". Half a bag of noodles was poured into the basin, and then he took a bucket and poured the water slowly, but he didn't dare to pour more, about a third of the bucket. Put down the bucket and wash the handles. Insert your hands into the basin and turn it from the bottom to the top, and the bottom of the basin will more or less merge with the water. I don't know how many times I did the repetitive action, and the water and the surface were almost together. He grabbed the dough with his left hand, and pierced it down with the base of his palm with his right hand, again and again. The outside of the wet noodles gradually became less furrowed, and the skin became smoother.

Then Zhen Sheng added half a pot of water to the pot, lit the firewood and burned it. The fire burned extremely vigorously, and the raging flames seemed to ignite the hope in Zhen Sheng's heart, the water gradually boiled, and Zhen Sheng first put some firewood to let it burn slowly. Dig out the live noodles from the basin, cut a small piece on the panel, roll it into cylindrical strips, take a knife and cut down the small strips about five centimeters long, the work is also neat, and after a while, this small piece of noodles will be evenly cut out of about 20 pieces.

Hurriedly found the drawer cloth and put it on the ladder. Arrange the cut pieces of dough one by one. After about 20 minutes, a smell of wheat came from the cauldron, and the whole backyard was filled with a faint smell. Zhen Sheng estimated that it was almost cooked, and as soon as he lifted the lid of the pot, the door of the kitchen was pushed open.

"It's so fragrant! Zhen Sheng, the craftsmanship is not bad, the whole backyard is full of the fragrance of steamed buns. ”

Chen Qiucheng leaned forward with his eyes closed, sniffing the aroma of the kitchen with his nose. Seeing his expression extremely intoxicated, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Come on, give me a taste. It's better than what your third aunt did!"

Zhen Sheng held a shovel in his right hand and a bowl of water in his left hand and put it on the stove. With his right leg on the stove and his left hand dipped in some water, the shovel then went into the pot and choked a few times along the edge of the pot. With his left hand, a white bun appeared in Zhen Sheng's hand, the difference is that this shape is a little strange! Third Uncle Chen Qiucheng looked at the thing in Zhen Sheng's hand and was stunned.

"What is this?"

"Bai Bao! Third Uncle. ”

"Aren't the white buns round?"

"Ahh Oops, it burned me. ”

Zhen Sheng, who was only concerned about talking, forgot the hot steamed bun in his hand, which was not too slow.

"It's okay, pick it up and eat it like skinning. ”

As he spoke, the third uncle squatted down and picked up the white bun that had fallen on the ground. I peeled off the outer layer of skin, took a bite, and savored it. The entrance is chewy, it looks very tender and appetizing, and the inner honeycomb is small. The taste is really good, and the third uncle can't help but praise it again and again.

"Good, good, good. Zhen Sheng, don't say that the steamed white bun you earn is really good, but this is not quite like a white bun, it is better to call it a steamed bun! Wait a minute, you'll go...... Sell!"

"What the third uncle said is reasonable, so let's call it steamed buns. ”

"Have you counted this amount?"

"Well, third uncle, I did a rough calculation. This bag of noodles can earn about ten yuan. The more you steam, the more you earn, and besides, we just tested the water now, and we don't know what the market is. ”

"Yes, Zhen Sheng. The down-to-earth third uncle is optimistic about you!"

Saying that, the third uncle Chen Qiucheng walked out of the kitchen humming a little song, Zhen Sheng shoveled out the steamed buns one by one, and just shoveled them out, the door was pushed open again. It was the third aunt who came in this time, and when the third aunt saw that the person in the kitchen was Zhen Sheng, her face changed immediately.

"Zhen boy, what are you doing?"

"Oh, Aunt San. I tried my hand and made some white buns. I'm going to go out and sell it later. ”

"Bai Bao, you kid don't want to trick me, that's Bai Bao? Heh, I don't think I can eat it. ”

The third aunt stepped forward and stretched out a finger to poke at the white bun that Zhen Sheng had earned. He picked up two of them in his hands and walked out the door while watching.

"Yo, this thing. I'll take two of them and feed them to the dog, and see if the dog eats them. ”

Zhen Sheng clenched his fists with both hands, and it was the first time he felt so aggrieved since he was a child. The fruits of his labor were not respected, and he said that he was going to feed the dogs. Zhen Sheng suddenly felt that if he wanted not to be insulted, he had to be rich. I put away the remaining dozen or so white buns, put them in my apron, and walked to the front hall.

It was morning, Zhen Sheng carried the bun into the front hall where people came and went, and sat directly on the door frame, shouting non-stop.

"Sell steamed buns! Two for one dollar! Delicious and inexpensive noodle steamed buns!"

Those who passed by, those who bought goods, heard someone calling for a steamed bun seller. They all gathered around and took a look. Zhen Sheng saw that there were more people around, so he spread out his apron, and the white buns the size of an adult's fist were lying in the apron, which was very eye-catching. The man with good deeds asked.

"How much does this bun cost?"

"Two for a dollar!"

"Give me two, I'll taste it. ”

The person who asked the price just now took out a dollar and bought two of them and tasted them, and it tasted good to see how he ate. Among them, the person who brought his own yellow bun silently took out the one in his arms and compared it with this one, and then bought a few.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's better than our own steaming. ”

Some people praised it, and more people bought it, and these dozen or so white buns were snatched up by the people who surrounded them after a while.

"When is there still one? Why do you get it like that? ”

Different dialects are competing to discuss, and many people regret not buying it, why didn't they buy it sooner and try it. The third aunt saw that there were more and more people surrounding the door, blocked the door, and she walked forward. The signature gesture is swinging, and the hands are pinching the waist.

"What are you doing? Why are you blocking the door of the old lady if you don't buy anything? Don't let people in? Zhen Sheng, you let me in. ”

"Ah, I know the third aunt. ”

Zhen Sheng hurriedly apologized to the people who came up, and then spoke.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I'll steam more next time. Let's disperse first, let's disperse. ”

"Next time, not next time. Hurry on in!"

The third aunt said angrily to Zhen Sheng, Zhen Sheng hurriedly ran into the front hall, and even forgot to take back the apron at the door, or the guy in the store helped bring it in. After entering the house, the third aunt called Zhen Sheng to go to the backyard and go to the third uncle's room.

"Chen Qiucheng, you are an old immortal. Come out for the old lady! Are you sincere in causing trouble for the old lady? Let Zhen Sheng block the door! Don't hide it, come out for me quickly! Otherwise, I will pick your skin tonight!"

The third aunt's shouting did not yell out the third uncle, on the contrary, the third uncle seemed to be really not at home, and immediately turned the finger to Zhen Sheng.

"Zhen Sheng, you tell the truth. Did your third uncle tell you to sell there?"

"No, it's not the third aunt. I thought of it myself. ”

"Hmph, don't try to lie to me. ”

"Third aunt, I really thought of it myself, and I haven't seen the third uncle today. ”

"Next time, don't block the door, or you'll go back and forth from where. What's the matter, good dogs aren't in the way!"

"Who are you scolding?"

Zhen Sheng was really angry this time, these three aunts didn't look like elders at all, and they repeatedly made things difficult for Zhen Sheng, and this time Zhen Sheng couldn't bear it.

"Yo, Zhen boy. I said that the good dog didn't get in the way, and I didn't say you. What are you in such a hurry to admit?"

"Heh, third aunt. I'm a dog, so what are you?"

"I'm not really a thing. ”

"yes! You're not a thing!"

As he spoke, Zhen Sheng went back to his room without shaking his head. Only the third aunt with a confused face was left in the room. Packed his bags, went to the kitchen and left Xinglong cereals with the remaining half bag of noodles. The four seas are so big, where can I have a place to stay?Zhen Sheng asked himself in his heart, but he at least had a good beginning, didn't he?......
