Chapter 18 I'm going to "invent" fritters

When I came to the morning market again, the sky was already bright, and the streets were full of stalls of various colors, and the pedestrians on the streets were endless, and it was a lively scene.

In addition to the stalls selling melons, fruits, and vegetables, there are also many snack stalls, all kinds of steamed cakes, steamed buns, and pastries, which are exquisite in style and look delicious.

"This old man, may I ask, where is the baking powder you need to steam steamed buns here?"

"This lady, may I ask, do you know where to sell alum?"

……

Wang Dong asked when he saw people, but the people of Datang were patient and hospitable, and they helped Wang Dong solve the problem as much as possible. After nearly a morning of tossing, in addition to alum, he has bought flour, cooking oil, baking powder and other things.

It's just that he spent most of the money in his hands to buy these things.

Carrying more than a dozen catties of flour on his back, Wang Dong walked down from side to side, and he also looked very tired. However, the whereabouts of the most important "alum" are still unknown.

"Could it be that there is no alum in this era? Impossible. Wang Dong frowned as he continued to ask passers-by.

"This little lady, may I ask ......?"

"Is that you?"

Wang Dong found out that the person who was asking was the little lady of the Zhang family who sold bean curd at dawn. At this moment, she may have closed the stall and appeared here, and it was a coincidence that the two met again.

"It turned out to be the lady of the Zhang family," Wang Dong's face was a little embarrassed, "The matter of the early morning is really abrupt, don't be surprised by the little lady." As he spoke, he followed the example of the ancients and bowed deeply to show his sincerity.

The little lady said, "Okay, okay, forgive you." ”

"That's good, that's good." Wang Dong nodded, his gaze moved elsewhere, and he didn't dare to look at this little lady.

The little lady seemed to remember the so-called "fritters" mentioned by Wang Dong, and she also pretended to look at other places, and asked very casually: "Have you made your fritters?" ”

"Not yet." Wang Dong sighed, "Now, I still lack a material. ”

"What is the material?" The lady of the Zhang family turned her head, looked up at Wang Dong's side face here, looked at his serious thinking appearance, and was a little daze under the morning light.

Wang Dong sighed: "It's alum." ”

"Alum?" The little lady stared at Wang Dong's face and said, "What is the relationship with Bai Alum?" ”

"What? Alum? As soon as he heard the voice of the little lady of the Zhang family, Wang Dong suddenly became excited, and happily looked at this side, "catching" someone who was staring at him.

As if she was caught as a thief, the little lady of the Zhang family suddenly twisted her head to the side, but her cheeks were red.

"Do you know where to buy alum?" Wang Dong was excited, and grabbed the little lady's shoulders with both hands, which made her even more ashamed.

"You...... You let go of me. The little lady protested coquettishly.

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that he was too excited, and his behavior was a little out of order, so he immediately withdrew his hands in embarrassment and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was so excited just now." However, I really hope that you can tell me where to buy the alum you are talking about. ”

Based on the chemistry knowledge of Wang Dong Middle School, alum and alum are two names for the same thing.

No wonder, when he asked other people, they couldn't get the whereabouts of alum, it turned out that the name was different.

"You come with me."

Under Wang Dong's repeated "rude" offenses, this little lady was also bold and unsuspecting, so she led Wang Dong towards the pharmacy in the city.

Because only in pharmacies, there is the storage of alum, they use alum as a medicinal material, used to treat phlegm drinking, diarrhea, there is a wonderful use of removing wind and labor, eliminating phlegm and quenching thirst, snakes and insects sting, can also take its detoxification. However, it is rare to use alum into food.

The reason why this little lady of the Zhang family is willing to lead the way for Wang Dong is also out of her own strong curiosity.

The little lady was attracted by the "fritters" described by Wang Dong, and she really wanted to see what kind of thing it was.

When he came to the pharmacy and grabbed a few taels of alum packed with white powder, Wang Dong thought that the materials for frying fritters were already available.

Next, he has to mix the noodles, ferment them, and then realize what proportion of alum to fry the best fritters.

It's just that when he thinks of "noodles", Wang Dong is a little big. In the 21st century, Mo said that he was a barrister in Tang Tang, even if he was an ordinary city resident, there were very few people who steamed steamed buns in person.

Now, when I came to this Tang Dynasty, the word "noodles" is easy to say, but it is very difficult for Wang Dong.

"The alum you want has been bought, why do you still look sad?" The little lady frowned, and a crisp voice came.

Wang Dong's eyes looked at the little lady, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, so he asked, "Little lady, will you meet?" ”

"And noodles? The kind of steamed buns? ”

Wang Dong nodded wildly: "That's right, that's right." "He's not sure, but it's not too far off.

"Yes."

When the little lady's answer came, Wang Dong suddenly blossomed, he looked at the little lady and found that her face seemed to emit "divine light", like a lucky star from the sky.

Seeing Wang Dong looking at herself with a smile, the little lady was a little weak in her heart, she didn't know what kind of weird behavior this Wang Dong would have.

I saw Wang Dong say happily: "Then I ask you to help, are you willing?" ”

"Help?" The little lady frowned, and looked at Wang Dong with a wary face, "What do you want to do?" The body also quietly stepped back.

Wang Dong saw that the little lady wanted to stay away from him, so he suddenly grabbed the little lady's soft hair, and said anxiously: "Now, only you can help me, it's a big deal, I won't let you help in vain, I'll pay you for your wages, do you think it's okay?" ”

As he spoke, Wang Dong groped around for a while, and after a while, he stuffed his remaining few pennies into the little lady's hand.

"That's all I have now, you just need to help me for a day, please."

The word "begging" knocked heavily on the heart of the little lady, and for the first time in her life, a man "begged" her. In this male-dominated society, it is a matter of pride for a woman to be "begged" by men.

The little lady, moved by Wang Dong's word "beg", immediately pretended to be heroic and said, "Okay! Since you begged me, then I promised you! ”

I have to say that the hearts of ancient people were very straight. Wang Dong said a few words, and this little lady agreed to his request lightly. This kind of person, if it is placed in the 21st century, I am afraid that he belongs to the kind of master who is sold and helps to count the money.

"I'd like to ask you to help me make a meeting."

"Good!" Little lady, she agreed quite simply. Fortunately, Wang Dong is not a bad person, otherwise...... No wonder there were so many infatuated women in ancient times, Bo Xinglang, it turned out that they were all too stupid.
