Chapter 718
Lin Yue sighed that Xu Yang's cost of picking up girls was too low, and the phone rang over there, just after being watered, Lin Yue's spirit was so good that he couldn't do it, he glanced at Xu Yang, coughed, and picked up the phone.
The phone was opened by Lafayette, and the general realization was that her third uncle called just now, saying that it was the powder pimple in her hometown that she had started to do it, and asked her to go back with Xu Yang sometimes, and get some powder pimple back.
This powder lump has a scientific name, called skin residue, which is made of vermicelli, and there are many people who love to eat this bite, because of the environmental and seasonal restrictions, this thing can only be found in winter.
Lin Yue hung up the phone and said to Xu Yang, "Little brother, your opportunity to make meritorious service has come" This means that he wants to be a driver.
Xu Yang squatted down, looked at Lin Yue, who was dressed like a hairball, and patted himself on the shoulder, "Come on"
Lin Yue just climbed onto his back, Xu Yang grabbed her two legs, got up and walked out the door.
The Lin family and the Xu family lived upstairs, Xu Yang carried Lin Yue downstairs, and happened to meet Xu Tong who came to take out the garbage, Xu Tong straightened up, "Brother, where did you go last night?" You won't answer my phone call, and you two, dressed so neatly, where are you going? ”
Lin Yue tried not to let himself feel empty, "Why are you 100,000, there are so many questions"
Xu Yang explained, "Didn't you go to the buffet last night, it was a little late, so I didn't come back, mobile phone?" I guess it's out of power, or maybe I've set it to mute, so I didn't hear it."
Xu Tong nodded.
"Well, we're going back to Douzhuang, do you want to go along?"
Lin Yue sent an olive branch towards her.
Xu Tong shook his head. "I have to go out shopping with my classmates today, I haven't bought all the clothes for the New Year."
Lin Yue nodded, "Then we'll go first, and come back in the evening to eat together."
Saying goodbye to Xu Tong, Xu Yang hummed a little song and carried Lin Yue downstairs, Lin Yue also deliberately tossed people, you said, you don't take the elevator at the end of the day, you have to let people carry you up the stairs and walk. also touched people's ears and said that this was Zhu Bajie's daughter-in-law.
Even if he is a Zhu Bajie. Xu Yang couldn't be happier, after going home for so long, this is the first time he has had a space to be alone with his daughter-in-law.
Not long after getting in the car, Lin Yuanan called in. Lin Yue borrowed the phone. I heard the phone clearly. Her brother said, "Is my brother Xu with you?" You give me the phone Brother Xu."
Lin Yue handed it to Xu Yang, "Looking for you"
"Brother Xu. What you did this time is a little unkind, I'm playing games at home, you have to say that you want to play billiards, let me accompany you, I arrived in a hurry, you tell me about you, I've been looking for a long time, why can't I find you? ”
Lin Yue smiled unkindly and was paralyzed.
Brother, where is your brother Xu a little unkind, that is very unkind, if you don't go out, won't you let you know that your brother Xu is staying in your sister's boudoir overnight?
Also, what's this trick called? Give the dummy?
"I don't mean to release your pigeon, isn't your sister in a hurry to call me over, okay, okay, in order to show my apologies, you can consume casually today, brother, I will make amends to you, pay for it all, you come back and give me the invoice."
Xu Yang appeased Lin Yuanan and gave the mobile phone to Lin Yue, "It can be regarded as a fool, you said that I want to be close to my own daughter-in-law, it's easy" After that, he thought about it again, "Otherwise, let's not come back to our hometown today, I know a resort, it's good inside......"
Xu Yang was bewitching Lin Yue not to come back.
"Stop, just stop, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, bear with me, and we'll be able to live together openly in another two years."
Xu Yang instantly followed the balloon that was punctured by a needle, and suddenly lost his energy.
I finally arrived at Douzhuang, and as soon as I entered the village, I saw many people walking to the powder room with a washing tray and a vegetable washing basin the size of the same washing tray.
The noodle is made of vermicelli, and when the vermicelli is ready, put the vermicelli in a basin, add green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, dried shrimp, etc., who wants to make it, and who prepares the materials.
Lin Yue has only eaten ready-made food in the past few years, but he forgot that he still has to prepare these.
After getting out of the car, I sorted out my clothes, and the phone call came in.
It's her third aunt.
"I saw that the car that just entered our village looked like your family, so I called and asked if you were here."
Lin Yue nodded, this powder room was opened by her third uncle, at that time, her third uncle was thinking about raising funds with others and running a credit union, but later the third aunt had a heart, and called Lin Yue to interrupt his third uncle's thoughts in time, and later set up this powder room.
The masters of this powder room have all had thirty or forty years of craftsmanship, and ordinary people can't make it even if they want to, and they can't get the taste.
Lin Yue nodded, "Third aunt, my family has taken more this year, my mother said, let's not worry about it first, let's take care of you first, come here so early today, just to see if you can help."
"That's a good relationship, you two or come over here, I'm really too busy here"
They are famous for their delicious pink gnocchi, if it is summer, you can also do it, but if you do it, you must eat it within a day or two, this thing can't be put down when the temperature is high, and when the temperature is high, it will become a small section in the pot, unless there is a wedding banquet at home, you can eat it at one time, ordinary people want to eat, only the opportunity for the New Year.
Moreover, you can only cook and eat it in the first few days before the Chinese New Year.
The people of Douzhuang don't count their own food, the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, knowing that this is delicious, will let their relatives or friends help them do it in advance, and wait for them to have time to get it, if they have no relatives and friends, they can only drive the car and get it by themselves.
So at the entrance of the village, there are already a lot of cars parked.
Lin Yue had been to the powder room before, so even if this was a familiar road, the temperature in the powder room was particularly high, because to make noodles, it must be in hot water at an extremely high temperature before it can be formed.
When Lin Yue entered, he instantly felt as if he was filming a mythological drama, and it was full of smoke.
Aunt Lin Yue took Lin Yue Xu Yang in, and she was as busy as a spinning top. apologized, "The third aunt will not be able to bear you anymore, and I finally came here and asked you to help, but you see, there are too many people, and I don't have enough manpower."
"Third aunt, don't be so outside, Xu Yang and I didn't eat less delicious food from your house when we were young, so we have to be so polite to help this little thing."
Aunt Lin Yue smiled, "That's what I said." The more I live, the more I go back."
The third aunt will have to count. After collecting the money, there was a long queue outside the powder room, and her third aunt gave her a number when it was her turn. I collected the money first. Conservatively speaking. This pot of powder gnocchi weighs eleven pounds, and a pot is thirty pieces.
Whoever collects the money will put their basin in the powder room.
Lin Yue took off her down jacket. The temperature inside is very high, there is no need to wear such a thick one, Xu Yang was only wearing a shirt, and was taken to the cauldron by a master.
The cauldron, which was more than two meters wide in diameter and almost as high as a man, stood by the cauldron and had to use a huge colander to expose the paste made of the starch to the hot water.
The master is very skilled, looking at the cauldron boiling water, seeing the right time, let Xu Yang grasp the colander, Xu Yang stood straight by the cauldron, took a deep breath, and grasped the colander steadily.
Lin Yue couldn't see Xu Yang soon.
Although now they are only less than two meters away.
The whole room filled with water vapor was white, and no one could see each other clearly.
The vermicelli was rolled three times in boiling water, and another master took a big stick and scooped up the vermicelli, and then put it in a pot prepared by the villagers in advance, with soy sauce and dried shrimp, green onions, ginger and garlic.
Lin Yue's job is to take a rolling pin and stir up the noodles.
There is salt in this soy sauce, and these ingredients are stirred and put outside, and the temperature outside is low, and the noodles can be clumped in a short time.
Lin Yue was so busy that he couldn't even wipe the sweat dripping, "I saw that the master put this vermicelli in this basin with a colander, didn't we say that we would collect money according to a basin?" A pot must be kept at eleven catties, just throw it in, and don't weigh it, is the catty enough to do it?"
The little girl who was two years younger than her next to Lin Yue smiled, this girl was a relative of the third aunt's family, Lin Yue didn't know what it was called, she only knew that the girl loved to laugh, and she did things quickly, she could make three pots in ten minutes, and other girls could make five pots.
Hearing Lin Yue's doubts at this time, she said loudly, "Don't worry, these masters, each of them has been doing it for decades, and the weight control is very accurate, don't believe it, you will weigh them one by one, and they are all the same."
Later, it turned out that what people said was good, there is a special electronic scale outside this powder room, who can weigh it if you are not at ease, there are a few people to weigh, but no one said that the number of catties is not enough.
"This is amazing," Lin Yue admired.
They are so busy, they are busy until the night, this winter is already dark early, plus they came late, and after this order is busy, it is already dark outside.
Lin Yue felt that her arm was not hers, she was too busy at the time, her spirit was highly nervous, and she didn't feel uncomfortable with her arm, but when she was idle, she felt that her arm was sore.
"I'm tired of you today," Aunt Lin Yue came in from outside.
Today's nephew and niece have been busy for so long, she went to buy some water meat and roast chicken and roast duck, and then fry a few more dishes, everyone drank some wine, and was lively together.
"Third aunt, you're going to be busy for a few days."
"I can't say for sure, but when I wait a few years ago, I'm afraid I won't be able to be idle" Lin Yue couldn't count how many pots of powder lumps had been stirred up today, and he only felt that it would be good if it was really the New Year every day.
The third uncle has been in the steel mill all these years, he can't be said to be the first leader, but he is also the second in command, he was in the marketing department earlier, and then the steel mill was not worried, and he directly became the management department.
Every year, the third uncle participates in the company's dividends, and the money is definitely not a small amount.
Lin Yue felt sorry for her third aunt.
"Your third uncle didn't want me to get it before," Aunt Lin Yue saw what she meant, and explained with a smile, "But, this powder room has been open for decades, if this is completely closed, if we want to eat in the future, then we can only eat machine-made, you know, the machine-made can be the same as handmade?" ”
Lin Yue nodded.
"Moreover, we, the masters, rely on this little craft to support our families."
Lin Yue's third aunt said, "Anyway, your third aunt is still young, when I can't do it at all, I will retreat."
Lin Yue nodded, "That's the case."
"Let's not talk about it first, I'm going to cook, Tuan Tuan, I called your mother and said that you won't go back tonight, your family has been empty for a year, and it's not hot in winter, so I'll go back with me later"
Lin Yue was not hypocritical and nodded.
Xu Yang jumped down from the one-person-high cauldron, Lin Yue walked to him and pinched his shoulder distressedly, "Are you tired?" “
Xu Yang wiped his sweat, "It turned out to be a little tearful, but my daughter-in-law's little hand was pinched like this, and I was not tired in an instant."
Lin Yue glared at him angrily, "Can there be a righteous line, so many people?"
Xu Yang looked up, there was a white mist in front of him, he couldn't even see the white bulb at the top of his head, who could see them clearly?
secretly lowered his head, kissed Lin Yue's little face who was massaging him, and immediately raised his head, pretending to be serious.
Xu Yang just succeeded in stealing incense, and slapped his shoulder with a palm, "Boy, yes, it's a good seedling, who is your grandfather?" Why don't you learn a craft from me?"
Xu Yang was flattered, don't look at this vermicelli looks very simple, there are a lot of doorways in it, when is the best time to make this vermicelli, how to add water to dilute it, how to make it worry, how long to put it in the pot before putting it in the pot, this is all particular.
It is an incomparable honor for an old man to be able to teach him the craft that he has hidden all his life.
"Old man, I also want to learn from you, but I'm afraid I won't have time this year, you can afford me, if you don't dislike it, when I graduate, I will learn from you."
The old man nodded, got dressed and went out.
"Xu Yang, you stepped on shit and got lucky" Lin Yue stared at him, "Okay, it's only been half a day, tell me, how did you get taken by others?" ”
Xu Yang smiled but said nothing.
"I think the old man must have a granddaughter or granddaughter, if you learn someone else's craft, you will definitely have to marry someone else's girl as a daughter-in-law."
Didn't all storytellers say that before?
"You don't know what to think in your head all day."
The two of you come and go, talking with relish, at this moment, the third aunt's voice floated over, "Lin Yue, Xu Yang, don't clean up yet, come out to eat"
When Aunt Lin Yue saw that they were delayed in going out, she thought she was doing the finishing work.
"Hey. This is coming," Lin Yue pushed Xu Yang out.
This third aunt came down to cook, there was wine and meat, and when they came out, the old masters were already sitting there with wine cups and began to drink.
"Everyone is working hard today, eat and drink more, let's continue to ...... tomorrow" (to be continued.) )
