Chapter 175: Buns (1)

Sometimes it's really not that being rich makes you happy, the higher your status, the more money you have, and the more troubles you have!

The Li family is busy preparing for the New Year!

"Hui'er, do you want to help?" Hu Shi had breakfast and said to Li Hui with a smile, today is the day of steaming steamed buns, of course, not only steamed buns, but also a lot of steamed buns!

Although Li Hui knows everything, but the bun is not good, almost every one of them has a big mouth, grinning at the person who wants to eat it, Li Hui is also very helpless, so Hu Shi wants her to learn it, after all, this is a necessary skill for the peasant family!

"Good! Mother! Li Hui agreed that she likes to cook, and she is very interested in this time!

The steamed buns earned by the peasant family during the New Year are enough to eat for half a month, that is, to be enough to eat on the first day of the New Year until the Lantern Festival.

The rural saying is that you can't be busy on the New Year's Day, otherwise it will indicate that you will be busy this year, so everyone prepares a lot of food!

"Third brother and sister, you can make peace!" Hu said to Zhou's that Zhou's noodles are the best in the family, and they can earn steamed buns, so this job was handed over to Zhou!

"Okay, sister-in-law!" Zhou did not shirk, on the contrary, he felt that it was an honor to be able to do these things and contribute to the family!

"Second brother and sister, you come to cook red bean paste, and I'll fry the radish filling!" Hu Shi arranged the work well, the three of them worked together, one person mastered one side, and the match was appropriate!

Li Hui followed a few of them to learn, and Li Xiu saw Li Hui studying. She also joined in the fun, although she didn't like it!

Easier said than done, don't look at it as just bun filling. That's also very troublesome, let's look at the Li family first!

First pick the good red beans, mung beans and jujubes, and pick out the bad ones, otherwise it will affect the taste! Then wash it again in clean water to wash off any dirt stuck to it until the water is clear!

"Xiu'er, you go scoop some water and put it in the pot!" Li asked Li Xiu, who was standing next to him, to help! She can't get her hands out!

Then she puts the processed beans in the pot. Put an appropriate amount of water, not less, otherwise the beans will not be cooked. It can't be too much, otherwise the filling is too thin and the bun can't be wrapped, it depends on experience! Lee's movements are swift. It was dealt with very quickly. Cover the pot and start the fire!

Don't look at just burning the fire, this is not a simple job, you have to grasp the heat, not too big, not too small, too big and easy to paste, and. After the water is boiling, stir the pot from time to time, and at the end of the day, keep stirring. Otherwise, it will stick to the pan!

The work on Hu's side is not easy, the radish was washed yesterday, and there was no special tool in ancient times, so it was easy to break the radish, and it could only be cut manually!

This is a big project, Li Hui also came to help, and it was not completed in half an hour, because there are many people in the family, and there are many steamed buns needed, and Hu's arms are sore!

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to help too!"

"Hey, okay, let's hurry up together!" Hu Shi saw that Zhou had reconciled, of course there was no disagreement!

Time passed little by little, and the sound of chopping vegetables kept stopping, and none of us stopped!

"Alright. Third brother and sister, let's start blowing up! Hu clapped his hands, two people plus Li Hui, it took an hour to chop the radish, what Hu said about fried is actually a rural saying, that is, put the radish in boiling water and scald, the radish is scalded, and then the bun is delicious!

Radish buns are not delicious with only radishes, tofu is indispensable, and Hu bought a large piece of tofu in the town two days ago!

Cut the tofu into small pieces, put oil in the pot, put in the green onions, ginger and garlic, and put the cut condiments into the hot oil pot.

When the tofu is put into a pan of oil and stir-fried, it will turn golden and golden in a short time, exuding an attractive aroma! Looking at it, her appetite was greatly enhanced, and Li Hui couldn't help but take a few bites with chopsticks!

"Girl's house, what does it look like? See what you're craving? Seeing Li Hui like this, Hu patted Li Hui's hand and couldn't help but say, it's really gluttonous, let others see it, it's time to gossip!

"Mother, isn't it at your own home? It's not that you're frying it too delicious! Li Hui took Hu's hand and was coquettish! She just likes this kind of freshly fried filling, which is much more delicious than wrapping it into buns!

However, she also knows that this is ancient, not as casual as modern times, maybe there will be gossip to say that it is lazy and greedy, although Li Hui doesn't care, but she also has to consider the views of her family and the eyes of others!

All kinds of seasonings are ready, and Hu Shi mixes the radish and tofu together, puts the seasoning such as oil and salt, and it is done!

"Mother, don't put some small pickles anymore!" Li Hui suddenly proposed, before Hu Shi mixed all the dishes!

"Will it be delicious?" Hu is very suspicious, no one likes to eat small pickles like his daughter!

Li Hui just loves this bite and thinks it's refreshing to eat some small pickles! It's still very good!

"Mother, how about making less stuffing, putting small pickles, and not putting the rest?" Li Hui proposed that this is also to avoid unnecessary waste!

"That'll do!" Hu reluctantly agreed, leaving a small part of the filling for Li Hui!

After finishing these, it was already noon, on the other side, Li also cooked the bean paste, and finally put a lot of red dates, stirred with white sugar, tasted it, and felt that the sweetness was moderate, so he stopped the fire under the stove, and then scooped out the filling and put it in the basin, which is considered a prepared filling, and the rest is to wrap the buns!

"Brother and sister, let's eat first! Wrap it again in the afternoon, and then let's make a little bit of profit, and it is estimated that it can be steamed today! Hu Shi looked at the sky, and then saw that the freshly mixed stuffing was still steaming, and the noodles had not yet been made, and they could not be wrapped for the time being, so it was better to eat first, and the work of the hut was also hard work!

"Cheng, just keep it simple!" Li rubbed his arm, a little sour, he didn't have the time or energy to cook exquisite meals again!

"Everyone, I'm here to help in the afternoon! And Ruyi, let's do it together! Niu saw that several daughters-in-law were tired, and took the initiative to take the work, if it wasn't for a few daughters-in-law who stopped her, she would have started in the morning, or Hu had to stop her!

"Okay, mother, you can just make buns when the time comes!" Hu Shi said with a smile that Niu's buns are very beautiful, and the pleats are like flowers! In addition, Bao Baozi is not very tired, so Hu Shi agreed!

A simple meal, still very fragrant, then rubbing your arms, everyone went back to the house, ready to take a nap, rest, in the afternoon to have the strength to work hard, and strive to wrap all the buns today! (To be continued.) )
