Chapter Seventy-Five: Pancake Roll Green Onions
After saying goodbye to the third grandfather, the two soon returned to the old mansion.
After driving away the group of children behind his buttocks, Qin Xiuwu quietly pushed open the door. He didn't go in directly, at this time Ah Huang was circling around his grandfather, his tail wagging fast, licking his grandfather's cheeks from time to time. His grandfather also stroked its head affectionately, with a smile on his face.
They have been separated for a long time and miss each other very much. But grandpa squatted there and didn't get up, Qin Xiuwu looked at it, and realized that grandpa was baking pancakes in the corner. This is obviously because he is coming back, and the food prepared for him. Grandpa's somewhat rickety back made Qin Xiuwu feel sad.
There is nothing saddest in the world that the son wants to raise but does not wait for his family. Father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother were the closest people to him. When you grow up, you should know how to repay their nurturing kindness. Thinking about going around his grandfather when he was a child, naughty and mischievous to break his grandfather's heart, at that time he felt that his grandfather was his pillar and relied on the old man very much.
But when he grew up, he never thought about him as an old man when he ran around for a living. Even if you think of it, comfort yourself that when you have money, you can repay him for raising him. Now that he wants money and has no money, how can he give him joy.
But he didn't think that when he really succeeded, maybe the old man was already gone. When the time comes, it's too late to regret it. In fact, the elderly will care whether you have money or not, and what they want most is their own care.
Qin Xiuwu walked over quickly, held his grandfather's hand that was burning the fire, and shouted, "Grandpa, your grandson is back." ”
Grandpa Qin glanced at him with a smile and said, "I know, I heard the movement as early as when you entered the village. Come, help me light the fire first, and I'll make you two pancakes. ”
Although he didn't say much, Qin Xiuwu could hear his joy from his somewhat trembling voice.
Qin Xiuwu agreed, squatting down and burning the fire.
Grandpa Qin stood up, glanced at Ruoyou and said, "You are here too, very good, just show it to his parents, those two little guys are deeply poisoned by feudalism and think about holding their grandson all day long." Even I can't stand it. ”
Ruoyou snorted, smiled with a red face and did not speak.
Then Grandpa Qin picked up the "scraper" and prepared to make pancakes. Baking pancakes is very simple.
Stir with flour and water to form a sticky paste. Then you can burn the pan, which is a pancake utensil, made of cast iron, flat and round, slightly convex in the center, and has three legs underneath, which can be used to burn wood and pancakes underneath.
Wait for the tweezers to heat evenly, brush with a thin layer of oil, take some paste and put it on the edge of the tweezers, and roll quickly from the outer ring to the inner circle, and the paste will be attached to the tweezers. Use a "scraper" to quickly scrape the surface of the pancake to make the thickness thinner, correct the loopholes, and try to make it as uniform as possible.
Then just wait for a sentence to be done, and a thin pancake is ready.
A pot of stirred paste, but it took a while for Grandpa Qin to finish baking.
Qin Xiuwu helped his grandfather put the baked pancakes away, saw that it was noon, and asked his grandfather with a smile. "Grandpa, what are we going to eat at noon today? Ruoyu's stomach was a little hungry. ”
Grandpa Qin smiled kindly and said, "Don't talk about your daughter-in-law, just say it when you're hungry." You kid has been a gluttonous cat since he was a child, and I don't know what you're thinking. ”
Having said that, Grandpa Qin still walked into the house and took out a small jar of sauce. said: "Today, let Ruoyou taste the special pancake rolls and green onions of our hometown." ”
Hearing this, Qin Xiuwu's saliva flowed out.
Pancake rolls and green onions are a special delicacy in Shandong, and there was such a scene in the TV series Prime Minister Liu Luo's pot, He Shen was taken into the prison, and the henchmen around him were scattered, and Liu Yong took food to see him.
He Shen ate very sweetly, and he asked Liu Yong what was this? He had never tasted anything so delicious in all the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. Liu Yong's answer was pancake rolls with green onions. Of course, this is due to his unbearable hunger, but he can also see the deliciousness of the pancake roll and green onions.
Qin Xiuwu ran to the vegetable field that his grandfather had cultivated at home, plucked a few fresh green onions, cleaned them and brought them over. I rolled one for Ruoyou first.
The freshly baked pancakes are smeared with sauce and rolled with green onions, and the fragrant and crispy pancakes are spicy and spicy with the taste of sweet sauce, not to mention how delicious.
Qin Xiuwu ate three in a row in one go, and Ruoyou was also very happy to eat. As for Erdemutu, it has long been conquered by its taste.
While eating, Ah Huang stopped drying, and he ran over and wagged his tail, also trying to find something to eat. Qin Xiuwu's childlike heart rose and handed the half-eaten pancake roll green onion to it.
In exchange for Ah Huang's white eyes, he didn't even look at it anymore. People are staunch carnivores, how can they eat this vegetarian diet.
This made Grandpa laugh and even his fallen front teeth were exposed. "What are you kid doing with it? Let's go, Ah Huang, I've already prepared food for you. Guaranteed to make your husband and wife happy. ”
After speaking, he took out a few pieces of stewed pork leg bones from the cauldron, which were still steaming, and there were many pieces of meat on them. Throw them all into Ah Huang's food bowl and let him and the white wolf taste it.
Qin Xiuwu looked at the pancakes in his hand, and then at the gluttonous pork leg bones, and said dissatisfiedly, "Grandpa, even if you don't want to see your granddaughter-in-law, you don't need to be like this!" Give us pancakes, but give a dog and pig bones to gnaw. How can you do that. ”
These words made several people laugh, and Grandpa Qin hit him and said, "It's not that I don't want to see my granddaughter-in-law, I don't want to see you." If you want to eat, Ah Huang, bring him one. ”
Hearing this, Ah Huang raised his head and glanced at him, picked up a pig bone and sent it over.
Qin Xiuwu looked at the bones in its mouth, waved his hand and said, "I'll eat my pancakes!" ”
"Don't you like pork bones?"
"No, I suddenly think pancakes are better."
This was meant to be a joke, and the main thing was...... Damn, Ah Huang, this bastard, the bone he brought over was just half gnawed by him, and it was covered with dog tooth marks, how do you let Qin Xiuwu eat it. This is clearly revenge just now.
After lunch, Grandpa Qin stroked Ah Huang's head and said, "You guys came at the right time, go to the field in the afternoon to have a look, I estimate that the wheat can be harvested in these two days." It just so happens that tomorrow is the fair. You take Ruoyu for a walk, buy two sickles and come back, ready to harvest the wheat. ”
Qin Xiuwu asked in surprise, "Grandpa, you also planted wheat." When you're old and don't rest at home, why are you going to suffer that hardship? ”
"Anyway, it's okay to be idle, just think it's an activity to move the bones, and there aren't many plants."
In the afternoon, Qin Xiuwu took Ruoyou to the field to take a look, and the wheat in the field was ripe, showing a golden yellow, bringing people the joy of a bumper harvest. The ripe ears of wheat are full of grains, and the grains are swollen and bulging, as if they are about to burst. The heavy ears of wheat pressed the wheat bowed their heads, and when the wind blew, the wheat rose and fell with the wind, like a golden wave.
Ruo Yu asked strangely, "Harvesters are not used to harvest wheat now, why do you still need to use a sickle when you get here?" ”
Qin Xiuwu stretched out his hands helplessly, pointed to the road when he came, and said, "The road is too difficult to walk, and few harvesters are willing to come over." Besides, each family here has only three or four acres of land, and it is divided into several small pieces. There is even less land available to grow wheat, and where can harvesters be used. ”
Ruoyu looked at the small field divided into countless pieces and nodded in agreement. Qin Xiuwu's family has even less land, and his grandfather planted no more than seven or eight points of wheat, not even one acre, and it was too wasteful to use a harvester.
