The next day, before dawn, Happy was awakened by a slight movement from the bread shop.

The movement from the bun shop was very subtle, except for the happiness of being transformed by the jade of inheritance to the five senses far beyond ordinary people, no one else could hear this sound, it seemed that the other party deliberately kept the sound.

Looking at the time, it's less than five o'clock in the morning, and I can't help but be a little strange: Uncle Hao Han and other guys usually come over at about half past five, who will be in the shop at this point in time?

Is it a thief? Happy looked down at the gray boy, it was still lazily shrunk in the small bed that Li Muxue specially bought for it, shaking its little tail slightly, with a graceful appearance, this appearance made Happy Zhilu say that it must be the little guy's cooked food in the bun shop.

Who could it be? Happy put on a coat and got out of bed.

As soon as the teaching landed, the gray boy on the side was awakened, and his little head stood up all of a sudden.

"Huh?" Gray Boy showed a very humane puzzled expression, as if he was wondering why he was happy to get up so early.

"It's okay, you go back to sleep, I'll go out and have a look." Happy made a reassuring gesture to Gray Boy, and then opened the door and went out.

Walking out of the door, happily turned his head to look to the right, his father's door was still closed, and he listened attentively, and the sound of even breathing sounded in the house, and his father should still be asleep.

Although the bun shop is connected to the main house at the back, it is separated by a large door with a doorknob facing the main house and can only be opened from the inside. When the shop is open during the day, this door is usually closed to allow someone to sneak through it into the back room.

Through this door, I can clearly hear the sound of "popping" coming from the shop, which is very familiar with happiness, and it is clearly the sound of harmony.

Along with the noodles came a whisper of talking.

"Daddy, kid. You move smaller, and be careful not to wake them up. A woman's voice came from inside, with a hint of complaint in her tone, "I've told you several times, why is it always like this?" ”

An apologetic voice with a hint of excitement sounded: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I haven't met for a long time, it's a bit handy!" ”

Hearing these two voices, Happy naturally understood who the other party was.

"Brother Zheng, sister-in-law Zheng," happily opened the door and walked in. I saw Zheng Yingtao lightly mixing the dough on the side of the noodle table, and Zheng's sister-in-law was cutting the medicine on the side, "Who are you?" ”

"Huh? Happy? What are you doing here? Seeing Happy coming in, the Zheng family and his wife couldn't help but panic, with a trace of apprehension and apology on their faces. Zheng Yingtao said apologetically, "Is it that I am moving too much." Woke you up? ”

"Nope." Happy smiled and shook his head, telling a white lie, "It was I who got up and went to the bathroom and saw the light coming through the door, so I came over to take a look." Brother Zheng, why did you come to the bun shop so early? Isn't there still more than half a month to rest? ”

In order for the couple to be able to take care of their children with peace of mind. Happy delayed their report to work by a month, so now seeing the two couples appear in the bun shop, Happy feels a little confused.

"Happy, I discussed it with your sister-in-law. I decided to come to work early. Zheng Yingtao said.

"Are you in a hurry to wait for the money now?" Happy asked, "If you need money urgently, I can pay you two months' salary in advance." ”

"No, no, no," Zheng Yingtao and his wife immediately shook their heads, Zheng Yingtao said, "Uncle Bu gave us a sum of money last time when he came to the hospital, and all the expenses of Yanyan in the hospital were borne by Mayor Li, in fact, we don't have much money to use." ”

Happy wondered: "What about you?" ”

"Happy, in fact, the two of us just don't feel steady." Zheng Yingtao pondered for a while and said, "You saved our Yanyan, found a place for our family to live, and arranged a job for us, you are our great benefactor!" I heard Uncle Tugen say that your shop is very busy every day, so we want to come to work early and can help. ”

So that's it! After listening to Zheng Yingtao's explanation, Happy finally understood why they appeared here.

Xingxing shook his head and said: "Brother Zheng, the most important thing for you now is to accompany Yanyan more, there are good uncles in the shop, and there will be no problem for a while." ”

"Uncle Bu also told us, we just want to come over and do something first, mix the noodles, and then raise the stove, and listen to Uncle Hao Han said that the buns prepared every day are not enough, so we want to come over early to prepare some buns" Zheng Yingtao said, "So that when Uncle Hao Han and they come, they can get started directly, and we will go back when the time comes." ”

Happy nodded, from the expressions of the Zheng family and his wife, Happy could see that they had made up their minds on this matter, so they didn't want to say anything more.

"Sister-in-law, who are you?" Inadvertently, Happy found an anomaly on the table, and couldn't help but raise his hand and point to the platform in Zheng's sister-in-law's hand.

I saw that there were small things next to the wrapped buns, which seemed to be buns, but from the point of view, they were several rounds smaller than the usual buns. And judging from the shape, there seem to be a few more small folds at the top, and there are some black sesame-like dots on the top.

Seeing the items that Happy knew, the Zheng family and his wife suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and Zheng's sister-in-law's face was slightly red and said: "I didn't pay attention to it before, the agent was cut small, and I subconsciously made them into raw fried." ”

"Raw fried?" Hearing this word, Happy couldn't help but be stunned.

For northerners, fried food is a familiar and unfamiliar snack. Because it originated in the south, it then swept the whole of China. It is said that it is familiar, and it stems from this.

But it is strange because the pastry chefs in the north rarely can make authentic and authentic fried food, so in the north, all the famous pastry chefs easily do not make fried noodles, for fear of smashing their own signboards.

At the beginning, I was happy to stay in the breakfast shop for two months, and I never saw the master cook a raw fried meal. Because of this, Happy never learned how to make raw frying.

Therefore, when Happy heard the word "raw frying" from Sister-in-law Zheng's mouth, there was a little excitement in his heart.

"Sister-in-law, do you know how to make raw frying?" Happy suppressed the excitement in his heart, and gestured with his hands, "I'm talking about authentic raw frying." ”

"Yes, but I am a halfway monk, born in Yeluzi, and my skills are all taught by your eldest brother Zheng," Sister-in-law Zheng smiled and pointed to Brother Zheng opposite, "Their Zheng family is an ancestral family of raw fried food, and his grandfather is a closed disciple of the shopkeeper of Luo Chunge in Shanghai." ”

"Really?" The sudden surge of happiness made the Zheng family and his wife jump, but when he saw the smile on his happy face, he knew that he was happy.

Ha Lu Ha! I've really picked up a treasure now! Happy suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "Sister-in-law, can you wrap a few raw decoctions and try them?" ”

Seeing the appearance of happiness, the Zheng family and his wife still didn't understand, and when they saw Happy for the first time, they couldn't help but show a smile.

"Okay! I was going to make some fried rice and xiao long for you to make for breakfast. The sister-in-law nodded, and then started to do it.

Sister-in-law Zheng pecked a pinch of meat filling from the stuffing dough next to her with one hand and put it into the dough, then clenched her fist, and a raw fry was formed.

Then one after another raw fried from the hands of Sister-in-law Zheng, although it has been a long time since I started, but from this skillful action, it can be seen that the craft of this raw fried has long been integrated into Sister-in-law Zheng's soul, so that it can be easily accessed without recalling.

Zheng Yingtao, who was on the side, put down the work in his hand and opened the jar placed aside, happily only then noticed that in addition to the fillings prepared by his own family, there was also a jar for the fillings on the table.

Zheng Yingtao said that the meat filling in the jar was taken out, mixed with the meat filling prepared happily, and mixed up like noodles.

"Brother Zheng, what is this?" Happy pointed to the jar.

"It's meat jelly here," Zheng Yingtao explained with a smile, "I came to the shop yesterday afternoon and found that there was no meat jelly in the shop, so I brought some here." If there is no jelly of meat skin, the filling will not produce oil, and the taste will be much worse. ”

"Jelly?" Hearing Zheng Yingtao's explanation, Happy suddenly felt embarrassed, the conscience of heaven and earth, he never put meat skin jelly in his meat filling, and the beautiful taste of space vegetables perfectly covered up the lack of happiness in craftsmanship, so that even Happy himself was a little complacent, thinking that his craftsmanship was already very good.

As everyone knows, except for space vegetables, happiness is just a rookie on the way to pastry.

Reconcile the meat skin jelly with the meat filling, Zheng Yingtao said that the meat filling was put aside, holding a rolling pin in one hand and a dough that had been kneaded into small round grains in the other, and directly rolling it into a round leather surface with thin edges and thick middle, slightly transparent, and then put it in a place where his wife could reach it.

Under Zheng Yingtao's control, thin and transparent dough was quickly produced, and it spread all over the small half of the table in front of him in an instant.

I was happy to find that these doughs were much thinner than before.

Sister-in-law Zheng skillfully and carefully picked up a piece of dough, and took a rub from the stuffed dough with meat jelly next to it, unlike the previous one-handed dough pinched into a ball, this time Sister-in-law Zheng used both hands to fold the dough along the edge little by little, and the whole bun was like a small round white flower, which was very beautiful.

"Is this ......" Happy was stunned, "Xiaolongbao?" ”

"Yes." Sister-in-law Zheng raised her head and nodded towards Xingxing, "To be complete, it should be Xiaolong soup dumplings." This is the secret of Changshi soup dumplings that he exchanged with a pastry master in Changshi City, Suzhou Province. ”

Looking at Zheng Yingtao, who was stunned on the side, he suddenly found that what he picked up this time was not an ordinary treasure, this was simply the treasure of the town!
