Chapter 16 The Leek Box
If you don't look at the place to serve this big bowl of fried rice, you can still sell it for five yuan a bowl!
If Chen Jin's big bowl is divided, it can be divided into three bowls, which is enough for him to eat twice.
Out of the cupboard took out a glass jar full of dried radish!
Pour out half a bowl of dried radish, add two spoonfuls of vinegar and half a spoonful of sugar, stir a few times with chopsticks and the dish is ready.
Such a bottle of dried radish weighs about two catties, and the cost is about three yuan!
There are seven large bottles in the cupboard, close to twenty catties!
According to Chen Jin's memory, he ate dried radish for seven years, from the age of thirteen to the age of twenty.
I will eat and tidy up the things to be done in the afternoon, buy lard and find Aunt Xiang, all in the market!
According to Chen Jin's temper in his previous life, he must have slept and then did these two things.
Now that I have crossed back, I always feel that there is not enough time.
Next year, there will be an unprecedented flood that washes away the efforts of farmers.
Although it is far away, but the Huai River is the main flood outlet, it is not good to say whether it affects Chen Jin, after all, he has not learned!
Uncle Zhang and Xizi went to the county seat, which is also a good thing in itself.
Although Xizi has no culture, he is a good hand at raising fish, and he is relieved to be in charge of the fish pond in the future.
The booth distributes by itself, and now the logistics industry is not developed, Chen Jin can only pick up the goods by himself every day.
It's not that I haven't thought about getting involved in the logistics industry, but now I don't allow myself to do so financially.
"Aunt Xiang, I've been looking for you for a long time!"
At the market, Aunt Xiang is sitting on a tricycle eating pancakes.
Chen Jin noticed that the pancake was wrapped in three green onions, and there were no green onion leaves.
"It's Xiaojin? Having something to do with your aunt? Aunt Xiang put the pancakes in a plastic bag, clapped her hands, and dusted off her clothes.
"Eat, it's okay! I just want to inform you to go to the dock at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning to pick up the goods! Chen Jin said with a smile.
"Okay, my aunt promises to arrive by two o'clock tomorrow morning! What do you think? The stall is ok, right? Sit!" Aunt Xiang got out of the car and wiped the cushion.
"Don't be busy, auntie, I'll tell you, I have to buy lard, you eat first, I'll go!"
Chen Jin waved his hand and entered the market.
When he came out again, Chen Jin was holding twenty catties of fat and five catties of pork belly in his hands!
Originally, he wanted to buy thirty catties of fat meat to refine oil, but after thinking about the white onion in Aunt Xiang's pancakes, Chen Jin gritted his teeth and bought five catties of pork belly.
But I looked around for a long time but didn't see Aunt Xiang, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so I had no choice but to carry the meat home.
Opening the door of the stove and putting the pot on, Chen Jin weighed three or four catties of fat and cut it into pieces and put it in the pot.
In the afternoon, three pieces of honeycomb coal, these twenty catties of lard were refined.
There is a glass jar given by the uncle at home, which is said to be an experiment in a pharmaceutical factory, and it is no problem to hold twenty pounds.
This bottle of lard was filled with a large bottle, and a few bowls were brought in, about twenty-four or five catties.
Chen Jin didn't expect that the oil yield of this lard would be so high, and he estimated that fifteen catties would be great at most.
Looking at the four or five catties of oil residue, Chen Jin felt that it was a pity to throw it away, so he ran out and bought some leeks and came back.
He wanted to make the oil residue into a leek box that his mother used to pack when he was a child!
Wash the leeks and dice, put them together with the oil residue and stir!
Add salt, monosodium glutamate, five-spice powder (Note 1), eggs, and stir vigorously for two or three minutes.
Five catties of leeks together with five catties of oil residue, and ten catties of stuffing were stirred by Chen Jin.
The following is the noodles, of course, ten catties of stuffing can't use ten catties of noodles, and Chen Jin doesn't have any skills, so he simply packs bigger.
When she was about to sprinkle the dough and roll the dough, Aunt Ming appeared at the door with melon seeds.
"Ouch Xiaojin, I haven't come to your house for a few days to make dumplings, when did you learn it?" Aunt Ming teased.
"Hehe, auntie, I don't know how to make dumplings, I make leek boxes! I won't wrap it up, I'm going to make it bigger! ”
grabbed a ball of noodles and cut a piece with a knife, but was stopped by Aunt Ming.
"Come in, the noodles are dry, I'm afraid I can't wrap it up!" Aunt Ming's accent is extremely strong!
After that, he threw away the melon seeds in his hand, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to wash his hands, and after a while, he was carrying a bowl of water and an egg in his hand.
"You have to add eggs to this side to increase the toughness, and it will be chewy when it comes out, and we also add salt in our hometown!"
While talking to each other, Aunt Ming's technique was like flowing water, and Chen Jin was dumbfounded!
"Auntie, Uncle Ming is really blessed!" Chen Jin admires from the bottom of his heart!
"What's this, before your Uncle Ming didn't sell fish, our family opened a bun shop!" Aunt Ming said with some pride.
In one go, Aunt Ming covered the basin with a rag after reconciliation.
"Let it wake up for ten minutes! Xiaojin, I can't see that your kid is quite good at eating! Aunt Ming teased.
"Auntie, I'm poor and happy, and I can't finish eating so much, you said that you have opened a bun shop, how many can you make here?"
Aunt Ming picked up the basin and weighed it: "Hmm...... There are more than ten catties, and 2 taels can probably pack about fifty! ”
Chen Jin listened to the number and said silently: "Xizi has a lot of family, twenty ...... No, twenty-five, and fifteen in Uncle Ming's family! ”
I originally wanted to be fresh, this thing is oily, and the children of the two families like to eat it, so I kept a dozen or so for myself.
Chen Jin also kept an eye on it, and didn't say it to Aunt Ming, but just helped wrap the leek box.
At the same time, Aunt Ming asked Chen Jin to replace the oil refining wok with a frying pan, and after about four packs, he tested the temperature by hand.
"Almost, this leek box was slowly boiled out over a warm fire, and the fire will only be paste, so put it in!"
put four, Aunt Ming drove two more out, and there were exactly six in one pot.
After getting three or four pots of Uncle Ming's sister and brother, they came back, smelled the fragrance and ran to Chen Jin's house, looking at Aunt Ming with a greedy look on their faces.
"It's useless, wash your hands!" Aunt Ming said angrily, but there was a hint of doting in her eyes!
Aunt Ming sighed, put down the rolling pin, and clapped her hands.
"Little Erzi, don't move, I'll wash you!"
"Look at your hands, you grab mud and eat?"
"If you have your sister's peace of mind, your mother and I can live for ten more years!"
Aunt Ming's words smashed Chen Jin's heart like a hammer.
Once upon a time, when I was naughty when I was young, my mother used to say this to herself.
If Aunt Ming didn't say this, Chen Jin would have integrated himself into Uncle Ming's family.
For the longing for home, Chen Jin did not stop for a quarter of an hour.
"No, no, no, I can't ask for it!" Aunt Ming's attitude is very resolute.
Chen Jin can wrap this alone, which proves that this kid wants to eat, and his family will take one-third of it when his family is in an uproar, how is this possible.
Fifteen leek boxes were pushed back and forth, forcing Chen Jin to shout: "If I don't accept it, I won't go to your house to eat again!" ”
Aunt Ming took it slowly and patted the heads of the two little children: "Thank you Brother Jin yet!" ”
"Thank you for entering the brother, it is the best to enter the brother!" The child is always the most innocent, and the two children compete to squeeze into Chen Jin's arms to be coquettish.
