It was almost evening when I returned to Changgu from Fuchang City.

Wei Renshi walked all the way back, sweating hot, and said in his heart when he could have a family member and pull a carriage, so he didn't have to walk around by himself, it would be much lighter.

As he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head, he saw several women and an old woman come out of his house. Mrs. Tai also sent all the way out of the house.

I took a few steps faster, and arrived home just as Mrs. Tai returned to the door.

"Ah Niang, who are those people......" At the door of the house, Wei Renshi raised his head and asked Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai smiled a flower on her face, looked at Wei Renshi with a very proud and slightly satisfied look, and said, "They are all here to tell my son!" ”

"What?" Wei Renshi was taken aback.

"I've been away from home for a few days, and there have been more than a dozen matchmakers." Mrs. Tai was very proud, and said a word, turned around and went into the yard, and even walked much more briskly, as if she was about to fly as she walked.

"A-Niang, I'm only twelve, right?" Wei Renshi hurriedly caught up with his hind feet and said.

"My son is precocious, and he has twelve sons." Mrs. Tai smiled: "You are the only man in our family, whether you can strengthen the lintel in the future and spread the branches and leaves, it all depends on you." Besides, my mother won't ask you to get married so early. If there is a suitable one, settle it first, and wait until you are sixteen before getting married. Come here, let my mother measure you, my son hasn't made new clothes for a long time. ”

As he spoke, Wei Renshi was dragged into the house by Mrs. Tai, took out a strip of cloth from the bamboo basket, and measured Wei Renshi.

There were several rolls of linen on the table, and Wei Renshi had never seen them at home, so he asked, "Where did this come from?" ”

"That one was sent by your Li family's aunt." Mrs. Tai said: "It's Changji's aunt." She said that you will also be a famous Xiaolangjun in our Fuchang in the future, but you must have a few good clothes. Alas, your Li family's aunt has always been a good person, and she has always been knowledgeable, but it's a pity that Changji's Aya went too early, otherwise she would also be the county lady! ”

"A-Niang and Aunt Li have a good relationship?" Wei Renshi asked.

"Hmm." Mrs. Tai nodded: "Among the women in Changgu, Wei Niang and Li Zheng are the most able to talk together. ”

Wei Renshi thought about it, isn't it, among the women in Changgu, the two of you have read and read. One was originally the heroine of a large family, and the other was originally the wife of the county order, and both husbands died early, and the family was in the middle of the road. Isn't that a common topic?

I touched the burlap shop and said, "This cloth feels pretty good!" ”

"Isn't it, this is woven by Rob Ma!" Mrs. Tai slapped Wei Renshi's hand: "Don't touch it!" ”

"Rob Ma?" Wei Renshi was taken aback: "We have Luo Buma here?" ”

"No, it's in the sand by the river." Mrs. Tai replied.

"Then I'll have to pick some." Wei Renshi said: "This Luo Bu Ma Ye'er has the best effect on the illness of that Lang Jun of the Jiao family. ”

"I know so much." Mrs. Tai's face was full of relief.

Wei Ren said in his heart: It's not the time for you to say that I should not be distracted!

"Auntie, in the past, this was called distraction, but now it is called understanding?" Wei Renshi said poorly.

"Smack!" slapped her head, and Mrs. Tai glared: "Poor mouth!" ”

Then he laughed again, and pushed Wei Renshi in disgust: "It's measured!" You go and help Xi'er cook! ”

Wei Renshi grinned and walked out the door.

This is the life, the good life of this son in Datang, this is the beginning!

Just as he was in a good mood to go to the stove, there was a sudden knock on the door. Wei Renshi went over and opened the door, and after seeing the people outside, his heart became even more beautiful.

Standing outside the door were Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaosui.

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, please come in." ”

"I've seen Wei Langjun, the old man is bothered!" Wang Laohan saluted, walked in, and saw Mrs. Tai coming out of the house, so he saluted again, and said, "The old man has seen the old lady!" ”

Seeing that she didn't know her, Mrs. Tai looked at Wei Renshi. Wei Renshi introduced: "Ah Niang, this is the shopkeeper of the king in the city, and the Hu cakes he sells are very famous. ”

"It turned out to be the king's shopkeeper!" Mrs. Tai also knew about Wang Laohan's cakes, so she said, "Please come in." ”

"Shopkeeper Wang, Miss Wang, go to the study and talk." Wei Renshi let the two of them in and said.

When they got to the study, after letting the two sit down, the study seemed a little crowded.

Wei Renshi asked, "Shopkeeper Wang has figured it out?" ”

"Figured it out! Wei Langjun's attainments in cooking are convincing to the old man! And Wei Langjun can improve farm tools, and even the county lord personally rewarded Wei Langjun, which shows that Wei Langjun is really capable. Wang Laohan said: "Partnering with Wei Langjun, we took advantage. If you learn Wei Langjun's skills and practices, your business will only be better in the future. Speaking of which, it was Wei Langjun who ignored his past suspicions and promoted the old man. The old man still can't see through it, he's really ashamed! ”

"When is the king's shopkeeper going to start?" Wei Renshi asked again.

Wang Laohan stood up and clenched his fists and said, "Wei Langjun is the one who can let the county lord personally come to deliver the reward, and he will definitely not deceive the old man." The old man will listen to Wei Langjun in the future, what do you say, just do it! ”

Wei Renshi thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'll teach you a few things first, and after you have learned, if you don't think it's good, then forget it." If we think it can be done, we will go to the government to set up a city bond and sign a contract. ”

"Good! Everything listen to Wei Langjun! Wang Laohan nodded, and said, "I don't know when it will start?" ”

"Then after every evening." Wei Renshi thought for a while and said, "I have a lot of other things, and you have to take care of the business of the Hu Cake Shop during the day." Just like today. ”

"Good!" Wang Laohan nodded.

"Then let's start today, while you come here, teach first." Wei Renshi said.

"Good! Good! Thank you Wei Langjun! Wang Laohan nodded again and again.

Wei Renshi got up and went out, and the two hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at the stove, Wei Renshi said: "Today, I will teach you to make fried buns, which are a bit similar to jade tip noodles, they are all stuffed." You can decide for yourself what the stuffing is, both meat and vegetarian. But the method of making noodles is different, and the method is also different. You don't need to steam it, you have to fry it with a flat bottom. ”

As he spoke, he replaced the water that Xi'er had boiled, mixed it with some cold water to adjust the temperature, and then warmed the water and noodles, and woke up for a while.

Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaosui are making Hu cakes, and they are very good at harmony, and they are also making noodles according to what Wei Renshi said.

"Grass and trees gray water, filter it and set it aside, this thing will be prepared more in the future, and it will not be used to make pasta." Wei Renshi said: "After the dough is made, add plant ash water when kneading the dough, so that the dough will not be sour, which is my unique secret. ”

Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaosui stared at the water in Wei Renshi's hand tightly, nodding again and again, their faces full of surprise.

After kneading the noodles, wrapping the fried buns, and going up to the iron pan with a flat bottom to fry, Wei Renshi said again: "This is the most critical time, fried buns and fried buns, this frying is the most important." ”

"When the bottom of the pot is full, first pour oil, cover and fry for a while, then mix a little flour with water to make a noodle soup, pour it in, and then cover and simmer until it is cooked. At this time, don't rush to get out of the pot, pour a little more oil, cover and simmer for a while. The temperature of the bottom of the pot should not be too high, and it should be hot. When the bottom is burnt yellow, use a shovel to separate the surrounding from the bottom of the pan, turn it over, and leave the fire. At this time, the background color of this fried bun is golden and crispy, the filling is fragrant and delicious, and the color and fragrance are good. ”

Wei Renshi explained and demonstrated the whole process of making fried buns to the two of them.

"I had a blacksmith make this pan, and you will go and get one later. Today, I made this stuffing casually, and it will affect the taste in the end, so you can carefully prepare the filling when the time comes. Wei Renshi shoveled out the steaming fried buns and said to Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaosui'er.

As he spoke, he handed over the plate again: "Taste it." ”

Wang Laohan first looked at the golden color, then smelled the tempting aroma, swallowed his saliva, raised his hand and took out one.

Sent into the mouth, a bite, the face was first shocked, and then turned to great joy, regardless of the hot mouth, a few bites swallowed the fried bun in his hand, said: "Delicious!" Delicious! Wei Langjun...... This ......"

"It's just a matter of making a simple one with what you have." Wei Renshi smiled: "Do you really believe what I said now?" ”

"Believe! Believe! Wang Laohan nodded non-stop: "The old man believed it when he came!" ”
