But Yang Duanwu is not light to give up, how can the healthiest and most nutritious dim sum be without soybean?

Yang Duanwu grinded the soybean into powder and put it in the cage drawer to steam, in order to make the steamed soybean powder more delicate, Yang Duanwu added a spoonful of sesame oil to the mushroom.

The fragrance of sesame oil is mixed with the fragrance of soybean powder, which produces a particularly seductive smell of food, and the moisturizing of sesame oil also increases the adhesion of soybean powder.

Yang Duanwu grinds the grains into flour, mixes them in proportion, and puts them in the cage drawer to steam, and the yellow dough is ready.

For the filling in the dim sum, Yang Duanwu tried more options.

In the past, the fillings were sesame, peanut kernels and the like, although they were full of fragrance, but they lacked novelty, and Yang Duanwu thought about it.

A bold overhaul of the filling was made.

Yang Duanwu divides the fillings into several major flavors, including sweet fillings, salty fillings, vegetarian fillings, and so on.

The most important ingredient for sweet fillings is winter melon strips. These melon strips have a unique flavor and are sweet and delicious. Mixed with nuts, this flavor of pie tends to be the most flattering.

For this salty filling, Yang Duanwu chose dried plum vegetables. This umeboshi is made from fresh vegetables that have been pickled, and the taste is salty and fresh, and it can be used alone or with salted pork. The flavor is also a must.

As for the vegetarian filling, Yang Duanwu often uses a thin dough, which has very little filling, and the most commonly used is a touch of white sugar. But it's easy to get tired of eating too much.

In addition to the preparation method, Yang Duanwu also created a fresh cooking method, using wide lotus leaves instead of cotton yarn, so that in the process of cooking, the fragrance of lotus leaves naturally penetrates into the dim sum, and the taste is unbearable.

"Brother Chongyang, how about it taste." Yang Duanwu took a box of pies from the cage and put it on Ni Chongyang's desk, Ni Chongyang's slender fingers picked up one and looked at it and said with a smile: "Colorful, you have an appetite when you look at it." He ate it and said that if it was sold in a bakery, the business would be very good. This pie is much better than my mother's cake. ”

Yang Duanwu's eyes turned and shook his head, "No, no, no." It's what I've worked so hard to do. It took so much time to make so many boxes, but how could it be enough to do business. But how can I do as much as I can at once? ”

Chongyang took the hand of the Dragon Boat Festival, let her get closer to him, and turned sideways slightly. Looking at her squarely, his gentle hand gently brushed her cheek: "Dragon Boat Festival, listen to me, my mother is indeed not very good at talking sometimes?" If she says something that doesn't suit your heart, don't mind. ”

"Brother Chongyang, what do you say? Why did you get involved with your mother? I just don't think I'm that good, even though I'm staying at home these days. It's also relatively idle. Last time, I went to the bakery pΓΉ to help for a day, but my mother-in-law was not very happy. It was also my mother-in-law who asked me not to go again. Why are you embarrassed to go back now? Dragon Boat Festival said.

"How so? How could my mother say that, maybe you misunderstood. ”

Ni Chongyang always thinks so well of everyone in his family, which makes Yang Duanwu a little disappointed. Shake off his hand and send the rest of the bread back to the kitchen, not wanting to say anything more.

Ni Chongyang was in a hurry, he couldn't see her unhappy the most, so he ran over and took her hand and said, "Good Dragon Boat Festival, don't be angry!" When I'm stupid. Won't speak. If you say no, forget it. Just because I didn't say it! ”

"I'm not lying, your mother did say so, maybe she was afraid that I would steal her limelight. How am I someone who doesn't want to do things. In the past, when I was at my mother's house, I was very diligent. I'm not happy at home now. But if you want me to go to the store to help, I have a request. I will give me half of the bread I make, no matter how much it sells. If I can say yes, I'll go over it. ”

The Dragon Boat Festival is clear. Ni Chongyang said: "This is easy to say, I will discuss it with my mother in the evening." Don't be in a hurry during the Dragon Boat Festival, in fact, my mother will not be too stingy. ”

Dragon Boat Festival smiled bitterly, what could she say? After all, she was his biological mother. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat.

The baked cake shop was opened, Ni Chongyang deliberately went over to help He Xiangjie clean up the shop, clean it up, and the mother and son went home together, He Xiangjie asked: "Why don't you accompany your daughter-in-law today?" "A daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, a mother is still a mother." Ni Chongyang said.

He Xiangjie said happily: "It's good that you know this." You have only been married for less than half a month, and you accompany your daughter-in-law all day long, and your mother understands, but you are a man, and there are many people in your life besides your daughter-in-law. ”

Ni Chongyang said: "Of course, father, mother, and mother, they are all what I want to love." ”

After the family had dinner, Xu Chunling went out to gamble, and Ni Peng went to the yard to set up a bamboo basket.

This is Ni Peng's new job after his health is better, a bamboo basket will be made in about three days, and it can be sold in the town to subsidize some families. After all, Ni Peng can no longer do decoration work.

His foot had been broken and half-crippled - for renovation.

Ni Chongyang gave He Xiangjie the pie made by the Dragon Boat Festival to eat, He Xiangjie said: "Which family made this pie, but I bought it from the town, why is it so delicious?" ”

Ni Chongyang said with a smile: "I didn't buy it in the town, I made it during the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

He Xiangjie was stunned when he heard this, "Oh." But seeing Ni Chongyang put his hand on the shoulder of the Dragon Boat Festival, his gentle smile was only facing the Dragon Boat Festival alone, so he put down the pie and said to the faint light: "Mother go to mend the clothes." ”

Ni Chongyang said: "Mother, I want to discuss something with you." ”

He Xiangjie didn't want to, he took Ni Chongyang's coat, the one with embroidered royal blue collarspace on the outside, and sewed it up against the light.

Ni Chongyang didn't give up and said: "Mother, the pies made in the Dragon Boat Festival are so delicious, I plan to sell them in the baked cake shop, what do you think?" ”

"Not bad." He Xiangjie didn't raise his head, but only carefully sewed and mended.

Ni Chongyang said: "However, half of the silver earned will be divided into half for the Dragon Boat Festival to keep." ”

He Xiangjie raised her head suddenly, colliding with the Dragon Boat Festival, and countless lights jumped on He Xiangjie's wrinkled face, making her even more haggard and hardworking.

"That's not needed." He Xiangjie said and lowered his head again.

Dragon Boat Festival and Ni Chongyang glanced at each other, Dragon Boat Festival felt very embarrassed, and was about to leave, He Xiangjie said: "Dragon Boat Festival, you sit." Mother told you that this family is a whole, and all the silver in Chongyang was kept by me and my aunt. If you have a place where you can use it, ask us for it. The end is not divided like this. ”

Dragon Boat Festival smiled faintly, in fact, what He Xiangjie wanted to say. She had expected it a long time ago, but she couldn't resist Ni Chongyang's persistence, so she tried.

"It doesn't matter. It is also the meaning of the husband. Actually, I don't make it delicious, where can I sell it? ”

He Xiangjie didn't speak again. But during the Dragon Boat Festival, her sewing hand was trembling in the light, and the embroidery needle was pierced into another irrelevant hole in the garment.

He Xiangjie was forced not to get angry.

Dragon Boat Festival said: "Mother-in-law, I'm going to sleep." And he left.

When I arrived at my room, I put my hands on the bed during the Dragon Boat Festival. I thought to myself, tomorrow I will take Ni Chongyang's herbs to the town to see how much they can be sold.

This day can't go on like this, no matter how good He Xiangjie's baked cake shop is, none of them belong to her. She is an inconspicuous labor force of the Ni family, a pawn of He Xiangjie to deal with Xu Chunling.

Ni Chongyang chatted with Xiangjie for a long time before entering the house.

The Dragon Boat Festival turned over and fetched water for him to wash his feet.

Ni Chongyang said: "Dragon Boat Festival, my mother said to wait a few more days, and wait for you to get used to it at home." The bakery will take care of the accounts for you. ”

Dragon Boat Festival sneered, this was clearly He Xiangjie's delaying plan.

Closing the door, the Dragon Boat Festival said: "I'm tired today, otherwise I would have wanted to make clothes for you, and the cloth bandages have been set up." ”

"Good lady, don't be too tired, I'll be distressed." Ni Chongyang smiled and hugged the waist of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival pushed him away and said, "Wash your feet." ”

Ni Chongyang asked: "Hey, why are there no petals in the water today?" The Dragon Boat Festival said: "You want to be beautiful, how can I have time to dry flower petals every day to give you fragrant feet." ”

Then he lay down in front of the window alone. Against the silver moonlight.

Ni Chongyang said: "Dragon Boat Festival, are you unhappy? ”

Dragon Boat Festival does not answer.

Ni Chongyang continued: "On that day, when you knelt in front of my aunt, my heart was broken. It's me who is bad. Didn't protect you. ”

Dragon Boat Festival remembered that day, so many villagers, seeing her kneel down like this, she really wanted to go under the ground at that time.

"I owe you a debt, so I went to the mountains today to pick a lot of herbs. I didn't show it to my mother, but tomorrow, all the money I sold in the town will be kept for you. ”

Dragon Boat Festival looked back at him, "The eldest mother-in-law has a bad temper, so that's it, and now the second mother-in-law is too--but I'm also wrong." I won't embarrass you. ”

Ni Chongyang nodded: "When we have our own savings, let's open our own store." ”

"Really?" The Dragon Boat Festival simply didn't believe its ears.

Ni Chongyang nodded: "The baked cake shop is my mother's brainchild, I can't rob it." She's my mother after all, and we should help her. If you help her talk about money, I'm afraid it will break her heart. But if we open our own store in the future, we can manage it freely. ”

Dragon Boat Festival smiled faintly, thinking of the dowry Xie Ling gave her, there were twenty taels of cash alone, and the cost of opening a small shop like a baked cake shop in the village was enough.

At the moment, though, she doesn't want to use up her dowry so soon.

"Brother Chongyang, this is what you said." The Dragon Boat Festival approached and gave Ni Chongyang a beating on the back.

Ni Chongyang shook her hand, and his fingers reached into her sleeve, "I want you to know, as long as you are happy." ”

The next day, the Dragon Boat Festival came to the town with Ni Chongyang's herbs.

The bustling street is really difficult for her to find a pharmacy all of a sudden. But she didn't want to trouble others.

What she was carrying was He Shou Wu and Desmodium.

However, she inquired before, the best pharmacy in the town is a relative of the shopkeeper Li in the village, also surnamed Li, the Dragon Boat Festival is easy to find that shop, the Dragon Boat Festival wants to see the shopkeeper, but was bombarded away by the shopkeeper, "Our shopkeeper is busy, you say that you can see good herbs." ”

The Dragon Boat Festival secretly scolded the little two for not knowing the goods, but he didn't leave. It's hopeless to go.

There are a lot of people coming and going in this pharmacy, and there are always people who know the goods. The Dragon Boat Festival was looked down upon by the shopkeeper, what mattered.

"Dragon Boat Festival girl." Suddenly, a Qing Lingling's voice sounded, and when the Dragon Boat Festival looked back, it was the daughter of the shopkeeper Li in the village, Li Ruyan!

"It's you." The Dragon Boat Festival was stunned.

I saw Li Ruyan carrying a basket in his hand, taking off the veil from his hat, and saying, "The shopkeeper of this shop is my uncle, and I will come to get medicine for my father today." ”

"Is it your uncle?" The Dragon Boat Festival repeated.

"Well, Dragon Boat Festival girl, who are you looking for?"

"I'm just looking for your uncle, so I can see him?" Dragon Boat Festival asked. Li Ruyan listened, and didn't ask why he wanted to see the shopkeeper Li during the Dragon Boat Festival, so he said to the shopkeeper: "She is my good friend, you can take her to see my uncle." ”

The shopkeeper didn't expect the Dragon Boat Festival to really have a background, so he changed his stinky face to a smiling face, "I'm sorry, the villain has no eyes, and I was offended just now." ”

The Dragon Boat Festival didn't even look at this villain, and said to Li Ruyan gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Ruyan." ”

Li Ruyan nodded. She put the basket on the table, and another shopkeeper came over and piled a lot of herbs in the basket. Then Li Ruyan put the veil down again.

The Dragon Boat Festival looked at her, Li Ruyan's hat was very chic, there was a hole in the back of the hat, and Li Ruyan's twisted braid hung down, the big eyes were shining in the veil, and the quiet and strong lips were tightly pursed, so he asked: "Miss Ruyan, don't you wait for me to go back to the village together?" ”

Li Ruyan shook his head: "In addition to getting medicine for my father, there are other things to do, the carriage at home is parked outside, I want to leave immediately, if the Dragon Boat Festival girl is free, come to my house to sit." ”

Dragon Boat Festival nodded.

Ruyan left, and the shopkeeper sent her out.

Then the Dragon Boat Festival was introduced to the shopkeeper Li.

"Shopkeeper, this girl said that there are medicinal herbs to sell." After the shopkeeper finished the introduction, he went down.

The Dragon Boat Festival then spread out the herbs and showed them to the shopkeeper Li.

"How about giving you two taels of silver for these herbs?" The shopkeeper was talking, but his hand was still touching the herbs that Yang Duanwu had carried over.

There were many people who came to sell herbs every day, and Shopkeeper Li didn't care much at first.

The corners of Yang Duanwu's mouth raised slightly, and he said lightly: "It is said that this is a radius of ten miles, and Shopkeeper Li knows the most about medicinal materials." When I see it today, I'm afraid that my ears are empty. ”

Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he saw Yang Duanwu's aura. But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm.

"Girl, can you tell me, how are your herbs different?"

Yang Duanwu took out a piece of He Shou Wu, pointed and said: "The thickness of this Shou Wu is by no means three or five years can be grown, on the black-brown skin, the fibrous roots are uniform, such a uniform and complete Shou Wu, the market can be sold for eight taels of silver."

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he was immediately impressed by Yang Duanwu. On his face, he also restrained his previous contempt.

Yang Duanwu continued to point to the desmodium and said: "This desmodium is also known as the fairy sitting grass, the leaves are large and green, and it is used to scatter fossils, and it can also be sold for three taels of silver in the market." ”

Shopkeeper Li was surprised and admired, he had seen someone who understood medicine, but he had never seen someone who understood both medicinal materials and the market. (To be continued.) )
