Chapter VIII

"Yes." Songbai nodded and walked home, she brought a bowl of pumpkin and honey soup to Chen, "Mother, relieve the heat." He took out the wooden hairpin as if he was juggling, "Isn't it good-looking?" I put your mother on it. ”

Chen looked at the wooden hairpin in Orange's hand, his eyes were slightly red, "Why are you so willing to spend money, let your father make one." ”

"Can Dad's work be sold well? When the girl has money, she will buy you gold and silver to wear. Orange joked with Chi Dazhu, "I also bought one for Aunt Sun." ”

Chen became interested, "Orange, you tell Sù Niang the truth, what do you think of the pine and cypress?" ”

Human-faced, beast-hearted, black-bellied, friend of women...... Can these be said? "Mother, you're worrying about it again, he's my brother."

Chen was a little disappointed, remembering what his old man said, maybe these two children really didn't mean that. Orange poked Chen, "Daddy Xiuxiu gave me a piece of meat, it's not worth frying and eating, otherwise let's make wontons." ”

"Didn't you stew meat and eat it?" Chen just saw the oranges stew the ribs.

"That's stewed and marinated, mother, I want to eat wontons."

"It's just that I'm not busy for the past two days, so I'll be able to cook honestly when I go to the field with your father in two days." Although Chen said so, his hands and feet were still quick to give her noodles.

The two were busy in the kitchen, and after a while, they sweated, "Mother, where do you say Dad is going to find someone to make a stove?" ”

"Won't your third uncle know that craft? Your father Zhun Bao went to find your third uncle, and he couldn't say that he would eat at the old courtyard at night. Chen's tone was a little low, "Although your grandmother doesn't want to see me, she is also good to your father." ”

The orange is well filled, and the pork is not very much, so she mixes two kinds of filling. One is the most common pork and green onion filling, and the other is shrimp wonton filling. Since the last time she ate spicy river prawns, her father has taken time to go to the river in the morning, and he doesn't care if he can finish it or not. She made the extra sauce and kept it for dipping in the pot to eat. Take out some of the fried shrimp shells from the basin, peel the shrimp shells and pork and chop them into a puree, add the green onions, ginger, garlic and eggs, and the shrimp filling is ready.

The wonton skin should be thin, the meat should be tender, crystal clear after cooking, the white and tender float in the bowl, the green coriander, the red pepper, scoop a spoonful of pork rib soup and put it in, even the soup is fragrant.

The two of them saw that Chi Dazhu had not come back after wiping black, so they ate a bowl of wontons steamingly, and took a bite of the wonton skin, the meat filling touched the tongue, and the buds were stimulated all of a sudden, the taste was salty, fragrant and smooth, the filling was rich and thin, and the soup was delicious.

The two of them were eating happily, and Chi Dazhu came back in the night, "You two don't know that you are worried about me, so you eat first." He washed his face in a basin.

"What's the matter? You didn't eat at our mother's house? Chen asked in surprise. I'm not afraid that you two will not be comfortable eating by yourself. The night covered a wry smile at the corner of Chi Dazhu's mouth.

Orange hurriedly scooped the wontons again, her father's meal was large, she took the pot to Chi Dazhu again, and scooped the pork rib soup by the way. Chen said deliciously: "You know that you love your father, why don't you scoop pork rib soup for me." ”

"If my mother wants to drink the girl, I'll go and scoop it for you, don't you eat two bowls of wontons, I'm afraid you will hold on and won't be able to sleep well at night." Orange smiled and joked to Chen, "Dad, there is also pumpkin and honey soup to relieve you of the heat." ”

"Yes, yes." Chi Dazhu enjoyed the warmth of his wife and daughter, and the anger he received in the old courtyard in the afternoon suddenly disappeared, and all he did was to hope that life would be better.

Sun came over with a hairpin and took Orange's hand, "What do you say this kid is doing with this money?" The tone was pleased.

"My aunt is five years younger, and everyone is in good spirits." Orange looked at Sun carefully, "What does my aunt give me?" If there is something good, don't you think about me first, and then say that this is not my mind alone, pear blossoms and pines and cypresses have a share. ”

"It's not, the children have grown up and know that they love us." Chen pulled Sun Shi over, "The wontons wrapped in oranges, you can take them back and give them to the pear blossoms and pines and cypresses to eat." ”

"Okay, I tasted the pumpkin honey soup just now, and it was delicious. Whoever marries you will be blessed. Sun paused, "Otherwise, I will be my daughter-in-law directly." ”

"Auntie, I'll go scoop up the wontons for you." When Orange heard this, he quickly hid in the kitchen. Sun and Chen glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

After three or four days, Chi Dazhu went to Chi Daliang's house to get the stove back, the oranges looked the right size, and they were easy to use, but how could such a heavy stove be transported to the dock? It is good to say that it takes an hour to get to the pier here.

Pear Blossom shouted oranges in the yard, "Sister Orange, come here, I have something good to show you." ”

Orange wiped his hands, "What's good?" Rika smiled, "You're happy to see Bao Zhun." ”

Pear Blossom led her to the backyard, Zhao Hezheng was doing carpentry with Songbai, but it was a board car. Not to mention horses, even mules could not afford to buy them, and they were driven by hand-pushed carts.

"Uncle, what's so embarrassing. I'm really sorry for you. "Orange is very moved, this car is not easy to play, not only laborious, but also exquisite craftsmanship. She deliberately didn't mention the pines and cypresses who were bored working, although it was not easy to do this work in the summer, and the sweat was pouring out. Thinking of the feeling of pinching his flesh at the bazaar, her mind automatically drew the scene of him working naked, and sweat slid down her muscles drop by drop......

"Orange, what are you talking about with your uncle? When the time comes, let the pine and cypress push the cart for you, and you can also save some miles. Zhao He didn't stop his work when he spoke.

"Then I'll thank you, Uncle Li. When I earn money, I will drink for my uncle. Orange smiled and thanked her, she was really embarrassed, she had to wait to earn money to repay the Zhao family.

"You and Rika go back to the front yard, it's hot here." Songbai, who had not spoken, looked up and said to the orange, looking at his face a little darker than the previous few days.

"Alas, I'll go back and make cold skin for you to eat, and ask my aunt to stop cooking at night." Orange nodded, and Pear Blossom cheered, "Just hearing the name, I think it's delicious, and the cold skin must be very cool to eat." ”

"You'll know when you taste it." Didn't Songbai also say that she wanted to taste it, she could be regarded as repaying the favor.

Go back and talk to Chen, Chen's is also happy, the two families have a good relationship, you help me and I help you, it always makes people happy.

The authentic cool skin is divided into two categories: dough and rice skin, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Rice can nourish the spleen, and wheat can nourish the heart." "Eating dough in winter can be hot and comfortable, eating it cool and comfortable in summer, eating it in autumn can remove moisture in the body, and eating it in spring can also relieve fatigue.

She has little strength, she has to let Chen come when she washes her face, she watches from the sidelines, the number of washes is less, the gluten is sticky, and the gluten is washed away when the number of times is more, and only the number of washes is just the taste of gluten is strong. It's all based on feelings, but fortunately, Chen's made some New Year's dinner, and as soon as Orange said it, she understood.

"Orange, how did you come up with this thing?" Chen asked while washing, her daughter was a little too smart after a while, she could still understand the home cooking in the past, she had never even heard of pumpkin honey soup and the like.

"It's just that after being sick, my brain often comes out to eat by itself, so I just mess around." Orange made an excuse to fool around, was she a little too carried away?

"It's okay, just mess around. Your dad loves to cook. Chi Dazhu sat under a tree in the courtyard weaving a bamboo basket.

"That's, and it doesn't look like who my daughter is?" Orange joked about the big pillar of the pond, and a voice came from the fence outside the door, "Yo, this is the princess selling melons?" ”

Entering the door was a man in his twenties, wearing a coarse cloth shirt for work, "Brother Chi is working, what is Sister-in-law Chi cooking?" Why did you wash the noodles? ”

"Green brick, why are you here?" Chi Dazhu brought a bench for the green bricks, he was also capable in the village, and this year he added a boy.

"Didn't I hear from the village chief last time that your oranges are delicious when cooking, my brother doesn't talk about family affairs, and wants to let oranges come over to help." Qing Brick started to help Chi Dazhu weave the basket, "Brother Chi, do you like it?" ”

Chi Dazhu was silent for a moment, "Your brother said that it is a good thing to be married, and it is also appropriate for Orange to help, but you also know that Orange has just been withdrawn from his kiss in front of his head, if you don't taboo it......"

"Brother Chi, we've been in a village for so many years, who doesn't know who? What a good girl with oranges, the Zhang family is not a thing, my family is not taboo about this. If it weren't for my mother's inconvenience, she would have come to ask for oranges herself. ”

"Green brick, what you said can go to my heart! Go, the oranges will definitely make you a beautiful meal when the time comes! Chen's strength increased by three points, and he asked gossipingly: "Who is your brother talking about?" ”

"A household in Peach Blossom Village, my mother-in-law asked someone to tell me, and the woman came to recognize the door." The green bricks were quickly woven into a back basket, which was a few miles faster than Chi Dazhu's.

"Your brother is not too young, so it's good to settle down early. When the time comes, you can call the orange. Qing Brick looked at Orange, and Orange nodded, "Brother Green Brick, don't worry, I'll go with Pear Blossom then?" ”

"Medium! Why don't you win, pear blossom is also very capable. You are all the girls of our Beihe Village. Qing Brick saw that the orange used all the steamers, "What is this steaming?" Washing and steaming? ”

"Make cold skin and eat miles." The oranges were busy in their hands, taking advantage of the steaming efforts to wash the cucumbers, shredded bean sprouts, green onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, peanut vinegar, sesame sauce, and chili peppers.

"Cool skin? It doesn't seem like we're here, is it? I remember hearing the eggs in the village say that he ate them when he went to northern Shaanxi to walk darts. The green brick fox looked at the orange suspiciously, and the orange knew that he couldn't be fooled, "Brother Songbai told me, and he told me what I did." ”

Qingzhuan let out a clear "oh", "Songbai has read a lot of books, and he used to follow Peng Fei to read and write." When he mentioned Pengfei, he suddenly felt embarrassed, and he was relieved to see that the Chi family didn't hear it.

"Don't leave later, Brother Zhao will come over for dinner in a while, and let's have some wine." Chi Dazhu did not miss any opportunity to drink. Usually, I can't take care of the work in the field, and I will only rest for a few days when the farm is slack.

"Okay, I'll accompany Brother Chi to have a few drinks, and by the way, taste this cold skin." The bricks are unequivocal.

A total of 10 sheets of cold peel were made of oranges, cut with a knife to a finger's width. Liangpi mainly relies on seasonings to produce flavor, and seasonings are the most important, and she also prepares more side dishes, saving no head.

Chi Dazhu looked at it almost, and shouted through the fence, "Brother Zhao, Songbai, come and eat." ”

"Here we are." The pear blossom came jumping up, and saw that the cold skin was like noodles, but it was wider and more transparent than noodles. The table was full of spices and side dishes, and the oranges were first put into a bowl, the gluten was put in, then vinegar, sesame sauce, chili peppers, and chopped peanuts were poured in, and a chopstick cucumber shreds were sandwiched and mixed in the bowl.

"Eat what you eat yourself." The orange evenly falls on each cold peel, and it tastes sour and spicy and smooth. Chi Dazhu and they drank wine with peanuts, and the Chen and Sun families chatted while talking, and everyone was full of praise for Liangpi.

"Songbai, I toast you. If you hadn't told me how to make orange cold skin, I might not have been able to eat such a delicious thing. Qing Brick took a glass of wine and toasted Songbai, Songbai took a sip, raised his eyebrows and looked at the orange, and the orange turned his head directly and ignored it.
