Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she looked at the steaming buns, and her aunt couldn't help but laugh out loud when she looked at her well-behaved and greedy appearance.
Kim Tae-yeon's cheeks were slightly red, and she picked up her chopsticks and said, "I'll eat it well." ”
Authentic Goubuli buns are each the size of a fist, the meat filling is plump, fresh but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, but due to the environment, the aunt had to change the Goubuli buns, and split the original fist-sized buns into small buns the size of chess pieces, so that it happens to be more in line with the needs of Koreans, cheap and more to eat, despite this, but the aunt's enthusiasm for buns has not changed in the slightest, the shape can be changed, the quantity can be changed, the taste can not be changed, insist on making buns with fresh ingredients every day, but this insistence, The business is a little beyond its means, and it can only barely support it.
Kim Taeyeon picked up a hot small bun with chopsticks, fanned it a few times with her hand, and couldn't wait to throw it into her mouth, bite through the skin of the bun, and the delicious meat juice sprayed in her mouth, and her mouth was full of thick meat aroma.
Kim Taeyeon pouted and exhaled, obviously burned by the soup, and inhaled the cold air in a big gulp, which was so cute.
"Hahaha, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let alone hot buns, hahaha, wait a minute, let it cool before eating." The aunt happily patted Kim Taeyeon's little shoulder and smiled.
Kim Taeyeon nodded, picked up the water cup to cool down the little tongue, but her eyes were still on the buns.
The aunt looked at Kim Tae-yeon's greedy appearance, and she also smiled, she used to learn to make steamed buns because she was greedy, and she only met the man who married to South Korea after learning to make steamed buns.
"Little guy, let me tell you why this bun is called a dog ignore it, it is said that during the Qing Dynasty in ancient China, there was a person named Gao Guiyou, his father gave birth to such a son at the age of forty, in order to let the son grow up peacefully, he took the milk name 'Dog', which is a custom, take a cheap name, meaning that it can be as cheap and easy to raise as the name, it was still a feudal era, and it was believed that this kind of name would not attract the attention of those demons and monsters to harm the child."
The child grew up day by day, and then at the age of 14, the dog came to Tianjin to learn art, and worked as a young man in the Liujia steamed food shop on the side of the South Canal in Tianjin.
It is said that Yuan Shikai, a general at that time, when he was appointed as the governor of Zhili and trained the new army in Tianjin, he once presented the "dog" buns to the Empress Dowager Cixi as a tribute. The Empress Dowager Cixi was very happy after tasting it, and said: "The animals in the mountains are the geese in the clouds, the cattle and sheep on the land are fresh on the sea, not as fragrant as the dogs, and the longevity of the food." Since then, the dog's buns have become famous, and branches have gradually opened in many places. After three years of grading, Gouzi has been proficient in various crafts of making steamed buns, so he went out on his own and opened a snack shop specializing in steamed buns - "Dejuhao". He used a ratio of 3:7 of fatty and lean fresh pork with an appropriate amount of water, accompanied by pork rib soup or belly soup, plus small sesame oil, special soy sauce, minced ginger, minced green onions, seasonings, etc., and carefully mixed into a bun filling. The bun skin is made of half-leaved dough, and after rubbing the strips and putting the agent, it is rolled into a round skin with a diameter of about 8.5 cm and a uniform thickness. Wrap the filling, carefully pinch and fold with your fingers, and at the same time twist the folds vigorously, each bun has a fixed 18 pleats, the pleats are dense and consistent, such as the shape of a white chrysanthemum, and finally steamed in the furnace with hard gas. Because the dog has good craftsmanship, and is very serious in doing things, never adulterated, the steamed buns made are soft in taste, fresh and fragrant, similar to chrysanthemums, and the color, fragrance and shape are unique, attracting people from all over the world to eat steamed buns, the business is very prosperous, and the reputation soon sounded. Due to the increasing number of people who come to eat his steamed buns, the dog is too busy to talk to customers, so that the people who eat the steamed buns jokingly call him "the dog sells steamed buns and ignores people". Over time, people shouted smoothly, all called him "Gou Buli", and the steamed buns he operated were called "Gou Buli Buns", the whole story of Gou Buli Buns is like this, I still remember when I was a child, I listened to the stories of the old people in the village with my playmates in my hometown, and the first thing I heard was the story of this Gou Buli Buns. ”
The aunt supported her head with her hands, and said while reminiscing, and after that, she looked at the steamed buns that were no longer steaming, and urged Kim Taeyeon to eat more.
Nodding, Kim Taeyeon picked up a bun with chopsticks again and stuffed it into his mouth, the weather in South Korea in November is already very cold, the highest temperature in the morning is only 11 degrees, and the lowest temperature in the evening is only 5 degrees, so even if the freshly baked hot buns, after this natural cold treatment, it is now the temperature that is just right to eat in the mouth.
I couldn't stop eating until I ate all the buns in the drawer and stuffed my little face like a round ball.
"Hehe, Ah Yi, eat slowly, and I didn't rob you, hehe, it's delicious, right?" The aunt looked at Kim Taeyeon's round and cute little face, couldn't help pinching it, and then handed over the cup so that Kim Taeyeon wouldn't swallow it.
Kim Taeyeon nodded at a speed that was almost as fast as a chick pecking rice, took the water cup, and finally swallowed the bun in her mouth with water: "The steamed bun made by Azuma Nim is the best bun I have ever tasted." ”
After saying that, Kim Taeyeon also gave a big thumbs up.
"Thank you, being appreciated by customers is the happiest thing for every chef."
"Auntie, my name is Kim Taeyeon, you can call me Taeyeon."
"Oh? Kim Taeyeon? Very nice name, my surname is Cen, you can call me Aunt Cen. ”
"Oh, Aunt Cen, hello!" Kim Taeyeon saluted in a serious manner.
"Good boy, don't be so polite, in South Korea, it's this thing that is troublesome, it's like us in China, acquaintances don't pay attention to these things, how convenient and how to deal with them, but I've been married to South Korea for so many years, and I'm used to it."
Seeing Kim Taeyeon bowing and saluting, Aunt Cen hurriedly helped her up and touched her head to show her closeness.
"By the way, Aunt Cen, you make steamed buns so delicious, why don't you open a Goubuli steamed bun shop like that Goubuli?" Kim Taeyeon asked curiously, looking at her.
Aunt Cen pursed her lips and smiled: "There are many reasons, there are money problems, and there are also family problems. ”
"Oh, I see." Kim Taeyeon nodded, then stretched out her head to look inside the stall, but she didn't find other people helping, and the whole stall was just Aunt Cen alone, unlike the food stall next to it, where several people were busy.
"Curious, am I the only one setting up the stall?" Aunt Shum saw Kim Tae-yeon's careful thoughts.
Nodding, Kim Taeyeon looked at Aunt Cen curiously.
"Alas~~" Inexplicably, Aunt Cen sighed.
"Because I have a bad marriage, when I was young, I met my current husband, we belong to the kind of love at first sight, we loved each other very much at that time, the relationship between the two warmed up quickly, finally, after three months of dating, he proposed to me, I was carried away by love, resolutely disregarded the opposition of my parents, gave up my career, and followed him to South Korea.
At first, our marriage has been very stable, his work is also very smooth, he didn't let me work, as long as I take care of the family, learn the Korean customs, at that time our life can be said to be happy, however, this happiness did not last long, a few years after marriage, I was pregnant with a child, and my husband he was very happy, more hard to work, but unfortunately bad luck, encountered the 97 financial crisis, in the economic environment, the husband's company had to cut wages and lay off employees, since then, the husband has become sluggish, Drinking all day long, sleeping when drunk, waking up and drinking again, no money and so we saved for the children to buy wine, at that time in order not to let this family go down, I had to pick up the craft, with a big belly to sell steamed buns, although in the case of the economic crisis, it is impossible to make any money, but at least the family will support it.
However, when my husband saw that I could support the family by selling steamed buns, the man's self-esteem was a little unbearable, and he indulged in drinking more and more every day, becoming more and more cold to me, and even, even when I was working on the steamed bun stall to give birth, I was sent to the hospital with the help of the next door......" said this, Aunt Cen choked up a little.
Kim Taeyeon hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it over, and Aunt Cen's bleak life touched Kim Taeyeon very much.
Aunt Cen wiped away her tears and burst into laughter: "I'm really sorry for letting you hear something unhappy, but I didn't expect to say it without holding back for a while, it scared you, right?" ”
Kim Taeyeon shook her head and looked at Aunt Cen: "Auntie, have you ever regretted it?" ”
"Regrets? Perhaps. Aunt Cen smiled lightly.
"So, then you haven't thought about leaving ......?" Kim Taeyeon couldn't say the latter words, after all, it was not a good thing.
"Divorced?" Aunt Cen broke Kim Tae-yeon's words, Kim Tae-yeon's cheeks were a little hot, as if there is a saying in China that you can't teach people to divorce?
Aunt Cen shook her head and smiled, looking at Kim Tae-yeon: "It's not that I haven't thought about divorce, whenever I brave the cold to go to the vegetable market to buy steamed buns, whenever I spill because I bought too many materials, whenever I guard the stall alone until the early hours of the morning, whenever I clean up the stall and go home by myself in the early morning, whenever I always take care of my drunk husband alone, whenever I always clean up the quilt full of alcohol, whenever I always complain about the leaking floor cracks at home, Whenever I can't stand this life anymore, whenever I feel hesitant, helpless, and most in need of someone to accompany me, I always hope that someone can help me, give me support, shelter me from the wind and rain, and give me the courage to live, but unfortunately, every time I go home with such emotions, I only see my drunk husband, the soju spilled on the floor, and the quilt that vomited a lot of filth, I also thought about divorce, and I also thought about leaving this man like this in Korean dramas and walking away, and living my life again, but, I think of our children, I don't want my children to grow up in a single-parent family since childhood, I don't want my children to be looked down upon, and our family, although the husband has become a burden, and has not fulfilled the duties of marriage, but marriage is a sacred thing for a lifetime, even if there are many difficulties in life, this is the test of life, whether he is dedicated to maintaining this family, at least, I am dedicated to this family, to this marriage, I will not have regrets, this may be fate, if it really comes to the unbearable time, I think I'll leave with my children and go back to Tianjin to sell steamed buns. ”
"In the most fortunate time, occasionally our family will help me do a little thing, at this time, I will feel very happy, very satisfied, as if I am not afraid of all the difficulties in front of me, and I can live forever, probably, this is my only happiness."
Thinking of the child, Aunt Cen has a smile on her face, this smile is like a bright light in the cold night, which can emit warm light.
For a while, Kim Taeyeon was a little crazy.
