Chapter Eighty-Six: Physique
"Grandpa, mother-in-law, I'm not messing around. Creek argued.
Seeing that the two elders still didn't believe it, Xiaoxi said with a straight face: "Master, I'm serious, I'm going to make some fried rice balls, Binbin has also eaten it, I don't believe you ask Binbin." ”
Chen Yubin said that he was very confused, what did he know, so he had no choice but to stretch his hand to Xiaoxi, his head was slightly tilted, and his shoulders shrugged.
Seeing that his eyes were a little confused, Xiaoxi couldn't help but be anxious, and said hurriedly: "Oh, that's the year, when Xiaojuan and they came back from Guangdong, she brought back fried rice balls from her grandmother, and she also brought steamed dumplings." ”
When I came back from Guangdong, my grandmother brought it back, steamed dumplings. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Oh oh, I know, fried rice balls, Xiaojuan gave them to me, but they are delicious, right, sister." ”
Seeing him think about it, Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, and with Chen Yubin helping him speak, this matter was more than half successful. Half of it is that Granny Chen definitely favors Chen Yubin, as long as Chen Yubin says that she wants to eat, then Granny Chen will definitely agree. The other half is that Old Man Chen neither agrees nor supports it now, as long as he wins Granny Chen's consent, then Xiaoxi can do it.
"Well, it's delicious, isn't it?" she winked at him and motioned for him to convince Granny Chen.
As soon as Chen Yubin received it, he turned to Granny Chen and said exaggeratedly: "Yes~ It's delicious, mother-in-law, you must not have eaten it yet, just make some today, you can taste it." Oops, I haven't eaten since that time, and now that I think about it, I really want to eat, and my saliva is going to flow out. "Pretend to be salivating.
provoked Granny Chen to laugh out loud, and joked: "Come, open your mouth, show me, which tooth is delicious, I'll break it for you." ”
A tooth is a tooth, that's a dialect.
"Ah......" Chen Yubin knew that Granny Chen was joking with him, and he was not afraid, he opened his mouth wide, approached Granny Chen, and said with his mouth open: "Even the teeth (all the teeth) want to eat (eat)." ”
"Hahaha...... It's up to you. Granny Chen couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and rubbed Chen Yubin's two little pink faces lovingly.
"Mother-in-law, you agree. Chen Yubin didn't make a mistake, and sprinkled on Granny Chen and threw her into her arms.
Granny Chen hurriedly pushed him, afraid that he would knock herself to the ground, so she pretended to beg for mercy: "Okay, okay, do it, my little ancestor feeds." ”
"Well, mother-in-law is so nice. Throwing a smug look at the creek, he caught a glimpse of the disapproval on the face of the old man Chen on the side, and suddenly retracted his gaze, returned to his original position, and held the edge of the basin for the old man Chen.
Originally, Mr. Chen didn't agree with Chen Yubin's coquettish behavior, and felt that boys should be more masculine, coquettish like a little girl, and it was unseemly. was ready to talk about it, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and took it back, like a serious boy. He didn't want to criticize his children all the time, so he didn't want to say much.
Seeing that Chen Yubin's task was completed, Xiaoxi turned around and started to work.
I started directly, grabbed a handful of sugar and sprinkled it in, although the pumpkin itself has a sweet taste, but it is only a faint sweetness, so add some sugar to increase its sweetness. Grab a few more handfuls of glutinous rice flour, sprinkle it into the pumpkin puree, and stir well with your hands.
Glutinous rice flour is to increase the viscosity, so that the pumpkin flesh is clumped and not so easy to disperse.
The first was easy, and in the end, I used my strength, like the noodles, because of the young age, Xiaoxi directly pressed the whole person, which was very laborious.
After moving a few times, all the strength in his body was used up, Xiaoxi stopped, walked to Old Man Chen, gasped and said, "Master, this is too tiring, I'll change it with you, I'll pound the red mud, and you go to pick up the pumpkin dough." ”
Old Man Chen pounded the red mud with his hand, and without thinking too much, he tilted the wooden stick in his hand in the direction of the stream, "Yes, you come to pound the red mud, I'll make noodles." ”
Turning around, thinking about it, he turned around and said, "If you're tired, just rest for a while, and when I'm done with the noodles, you can come back and get it." ”
It is estimated that Xiaoxi was panting so badly just now, which made Old Man Chen remember that she was just a child, and he was very distressed, so he let him rest for a while.
Xiaoxi listened, her heart was warm, and she said with a smile in her eyebrows: "Well, master, I know, I'm not tired." The stick in his hand made it lighter.
Thinking of something, he turned to the old man Chen behind him and said, "By the way, master, just pick up the glutinous rice flour, don't push it hard, the glutinous rice flour is solid, it is hard, and it won't taste good when you make it." ”
When Old Man Chen heard this, he didn't look back, and quipped: "I know, your grandfather has been eating for most of his life, and he still knows this thing, hehe......"
The laughter was like saying, "I still use your little things to worry about, I know all these better than you, I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten", and the laughing brook was embarrassed, and her pretty face was slightly red, as if she was more noisy.
Thinking of his kind reminder, but in exchange for a laugh, the reddish little face was slightly sunk, the small mouth was pursed, the eyebrows were slanted, and with a coquettish snort, he turned around, but the smile between the eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden.
Old Man Chen, like in his previous life, loves himself, the first grandchild of the Chen family, even if he loves him, but children are probably more afraid of their elders, how dare they play a little temper at their elders like now.
Hearing this coquettish sound, Old Man Chen laughed even louder.
Chen Yubin on the side had stars in his eyes, looked at his sister with admiration, and secretly admired it, his sister was so powerful that she dared to lose her temper at her grandfather, if it was him, he wouldn't dare.
Because of a full pot of red roots, if the creek was to score two pots, but Old Man Chen relied on his strength to pound it together. But the point is that he has pounded half of it, and most of the bottom of the basin has not been pounded, so it is very difficult for the creek to pound.
After tinkering for a while, he straightened up and rubbed his sore arms.
"Sister, I'll change you, you go and hold the edge of the basin. Chen Yubin, who was sitting by the fire, got up, snatched the wooden stick from Xiaoxi's hand, pointed to the stool by the fire, and motioned for her to sit and rest for a while, and replace him.
Look at him doing a look of eagerness, you must know that these jobs are very easy for others to look at, but only those who do the work know that they are not so light.
"Okay. "Her arm is indeed quite sore, and she knows that Chen Yubin has the strength to do it. Besides, no matter how tiring it is, the two of them won't be tired if they change. is not hypocritical, rubbing his arms and walking towards the fire.
Indeed, he looked at his sister pounding the red lotus, looking very relaxed, and feeling very funny. Seeing that my sister was tired, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she got up and snatched the wooden stick in her sister's hand.
At first, I had the strength, and it was really easy, but I didn't make two strokes......
Although the red lotus is soft and rotten, there are too many pots, and if it is soft, the resistance will be great, and the red lotus mud is also sticky, which is more laborious. After not tinkering for a while, the little face was slightly red, the heat was on the head, a thin layer of sweat on the back, the autumn clothes were slightly wet, and a slight panting sound could be heard.
"Haha...... I'm tired, it's easy to watch people do it, right, but it's not like that. Xiaoxi put the edge of the basin, crossed Erlang's legs, roasted the fire, and said leisurely.
was ridiculed, Chen Yubin didn't want to be underestimated, he volunteered to take over just now, and he just got started for a while, so he couldn't do it. Pretending not to hear the stream's words, he held back his breath and worked harder.
But the beads of sweat on his head came out one after another, hanging on his forehead, and after a while, wisps of white smoke came out of his hair, and he was panting with red faces.
"Okay, I'll do it for a while, you go and rest for a while. Xiaoxi took the fast-moving wooden stick and said to Chen Yubin distressedly.
Chen Yubin is a tough temper, and he is still competing with this pot of red lotus at this time. Blocking the air, he parted his hand and asked Xiaoxi to let go of his hand, so that he could continue to pound the red lotus. "No...... I still...... Not tired yet, drink ...... I'll be tinkering for a while, you just sit. "I'm still panting when I speak.
Xiaoxi had strength in his hand and did not let Chen Yubin continue. Seeing that Chen Yubin was disobedient, he was still more energetic, and couldn't help but say sharply: "Go and sit, you see the sweat on your head dripping point by bit, and there will be smoke on the top of your head. ”
Single-point sweating is to describe the sweat is large and abundant, a little sweat like rain.
Although he has always been a little stunned by Xiaoxi's black face, but now that his temper has come up, there is nothing to be afraid of. Shaking his head, he gasped and said, "No, I'm still ......"
Hearing the sound of the dispute behind him, Old Man Chen turned around and saw Chen Yubin standing by the basin sweating profusely, his face red and his ears stiffened with the stream, and wisps of white smoke on his head.
Thinking that he was having fun and making trouble, he darkened his face and scolded: "Binbin, what are you doing? You see you're sweaty, why don't you go and sit by the fire for a while, dry your hair, if you catch a cold, what's the problem? Why don't you obey?"
Hearing the scolding, Chen Yubin's whole body was suddenly filled with grievances, tears rolled in his eyes, his mouth was curled, and his nose was shrugged.
He helped with good intentions, why did he make trouble, and he was disobedient wherever he was, and he was talking about him.
The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, and the tears rolling in my eyes could no longer hold back the big ones rolling down, leaving two lines of tear marks on my crimson cheeks.
As the tears fell, the snot flowed out uncontrollably. In addition to the boiling sound of "gurgling" in the pot, only the sound of Chen Yubin's nose was heard.
I saw tears and snot coming out, except for the sound of sniffing, only silently holding tears, which made people feel pity and felt slightly sour at the bottom of my heart.
Granny Chen sat in front of the stove door, and when she was full and her whole body was hot, she took a nap. First I heard a few scolds, then I heard the sound of sniffing, and I thought that someone was crying, and I woke up in a trance.
