Chapter Twenty-Three: A Knock on the Door from Next Door

Zhang Heng ran to the grocery store with a cigarette, bought a bag of rice ball noodles and a handful of salted vegetables, and then ran home non-stop......

The high school in his hometown was rebuilt by the people's commune in the former township, at the foot of the mountain, far away from the town, Zhang Heng only went to the town to get the remittance slip at the post office, only twice a year, and his grandmother had not been out of the village for more than 20 years, Zhang Heng was exposed to the outside world, only through the word of mouth of the seniors working in the village, as well as gossip news among classmates, and through TV and books, now he can think of the idea of making Ye Erba to make money, the mood can be described as very good, very excited!

When I entered the kitchen, I rinsed the pork quickly, put it on the cutting board and chopped it into meat foam, and after thinking about it, I grabbed some of the thigh meat and stacked it into meat foam and put it in a small bowl alone, and then cut some salted vegetables into a small bowl. The next thing is to mix with the powder, which is quite simple, because there is no need to ferment, just add water and knead it well.

Now it is necessary to fry the ingredients first, Zhang Heng groped for a while to figure out the use of the gas tank, after heating the pan, the rapeseed oil was added, and the water in the oil was blistered and dried, and the stacked meat was put into the pot.

Zhang Heng, as a villager and his parents are not around, naturally learned to cook since he was a child, as the lyrics say: "A child without a mother is like a grass." ”

However, Zhang Heng, the grassroots, has long learned to entertain himself, that is, he said that he was a big dream, but he happily stir-fried the meat foam to seven maturity, added salt and pepper powder, and after stir-frying evenly, the salt cabbage foam was put into the pot, and the salt cabbage was salty, so there was no need to add salt.

Next, he fried the thigh meat foam and salted vegetables in the same way, without comparison, Zhang Heng still felt that the ingredients were very fragrant just now, and now when the thigh meat is fried, the fragrance is simply different from before, not on the same level.

The smile on her face is even stronger, my sister will definitely like to eat it very much, even if her mother does not agree to sell Ye Erba in the end, at least my sister likes to eat it, and it is enough for Zhang Heng to spend more effort on cooking.

Since the ingredients are fried, they don't wait to cool, and they are directly wrapped up, and all the snacks in my hometown are basically called Ba'er, and the steamed buns are all called Ba'er, but this Ye'er Ba'er is worthy of the name and belongs to the best of the Ba'er.

Since it is made to eat by his own family, naturally the skin is thin and the meat is filling, Zhang Heng grabbed a dough, rubbed it round and pressed it a few times with his thumb to the middle, it became a bowl, and then scooped the meat with a spoon and put it into the dough, and after sealing it, it was wrapped in dragon leaf leaves, and put it in a basket.

As concocted, it didn't take much effort to fill the basket, most of it was pork filling, only one corner was thigh meat filling, Zhang Heng separated it with a chopstick, and the delicious ones should be left for his mother and sister, if he couldn't finish eating, Ming'er could also be steamed in the morning as breakfast.

"I have a chicken in my left hand, a duck in my right hand, and a fat doll on my back......" Zhang Heng hummed a small tune, his hand was not waiting, scooping water into the pot, and after the basket was also placed, Ye Erba sorted out the yard on the top of the basket, and counted a total of more than thirty.

Then I tidied up the kitchen again, put the remaining leaves back into the room and hid them, everything was said after the experiment The taste of the dragon pattern leaf baba was talking, and there was no hurry to finish this, the leaf cake could be steamed in less than ten minutes, even if the water boiled, it would take some time, and it would take no more than twenty minutes at most to eat.

Looking at the time, it was almost seven o'clock in a blink of an eye, and the family had not come back yet, Zhang Heng thought about it and planned to go to the butcher shop to help his mother and sister clean up, although it was summer, it was almost dark outside.

"Buckle ......"

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and Zhang Heng was suddenly puzzled, the courtyard door was not closed?

"Excuse me, can I come in? I'm the one next door. Then came a woman's voice.

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment and went out, the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, the relationship between neighbors is very important in the village, before arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Heng saw a woman standing at the door, about thirty years old, dressing style like an aunt in the village in her forties, a big flower apron, two black sleeves, a little thin, a trace of tiredness on her face, and the brilliance in her eyes is also very light.

Zhang Heng shook his head, when did he become so observant? Hurriedly said loudly: "Hello Auntie, is there anything wrong with you?" My mom hasn't come back yet. ”

The woman replied a little embarrassedly: "I'm not here to find Sister Wang, that, I live next door to the wall, alas! I said it directly, the two children in the family smelled the fragrance just now, and they made a lot of noise, so I came over cheekily to ask for some food, young man, what were you doing just now, it smelled so good. ”

When Zhang Heng heard this, a strong sense of accomplishment spread all over his body, it turned out to be such a situation, and he hurriedly said: "Auntie, you are too outside, they are all neighbors, what do you say to ask for it, I am making Ye Er Ba'er, I was stir-frying the ingredients just now, but Ye Er Ba has not yet started steaming." ”

Speaking of this, seeing that the woman's expression was even more embarrassed, Zhang Heng said again: "Auntie, if you don't dislike me, I'll give you the rest of the meat first, and I'll send you some when the poop is steamed later." ”

"Okay, okay, thank you, young man, it's all the two children in the family who slander you, and Aunt Gai Ming'er will bring you delicious food." The woman rejoiced.

Zhang Heng smiled and nodded, he really didn't think there was anything, this situation is very common in the village, just like a few grandfathers' houses, basically every time they come back after cutting meat, they will bring a bowl to their grandmother after they are done, and neighbors with good relationships are often like this.

While thinking about it, he returned to the kitchen and brought out the remaining two small bowls of meat, because it was divided into pork and thigh meat, so there were two bowls, "Auntie, there is so much left, you let the children eat first, and I will send Ba'er over later." ”

"Thank you, thank you, your family is a good person." The woman thanked her again, and went to the next door with the bowl in her hand.

In this farmland area, although there are dozens of households, but the houses of each family are a little far apart, this woman is actually a house with Zhang Heng's family, but there is a wall in the middle, and it becomes two households.

Some people praised Zhang Heng for being in a good mood, because the woman even praised her mother and sister, and the people in the village had a good face, and they were more popular when they went out to visit the door with a good reputation, not to mention that they also had face.

Thinking of this, I happily closed the courtyard door and walked to the shop, next to the mud ridge is farmland land, in fact, it can't be said to be farmland, because there are no traces of planting rice, the land is planted with vegetables, there are many varieties, celery, garlic sprouts, potatoes, spinach, cabbage, bamboo shoots, peppers......
