Chapter 035: Alkaline Steamed Buns
Bang –
A red signal smoke appeared above Dawang Village.
At this time, the rooster crowed for the first time, and many people in Dawangzhai had already gathered in front of the Juyi Hall, and when they heard the movement, they all made a move, and looked up at the sky with their necks raised.
Zhao Xiaoman walked out with Hatche.
There were more than a dozen steps in front of the hall, and torches were lit around her, and she had a condescending sense of mystery as soon as she appeared.
"I got up without anyone shouting boss," the old uncle laughed at her, and the few cubs standing at the front also bared their teeth and were happy.
Zhao Xiaoman continued to be unmoved: "Let's go when you're ready." ”
Three days ago, she asked Mingyuan, Xiao Zhuzi and other eight and a half children to master simple arithmetic and the routes around the surrounding areas within three days.
Exploring the road during the day, he was knocked on the head by Mr. Tian at night, which is a coolie Mingyuan and the little bolt, fortunately, they are ready to stumble, and they are picked up early in the morning to listen to orders.
The tired face of the little bolt became a little excited, and shouted loudly: "Boss, don't worry, we will definitely complete the task." ”
Mingyuan, who was standing on the side, tilted his head: Hehe.
I don't know, I think they are going to do something big, but in fact......
"Alright, alright."
Aunt Hua poked her head out of the white mist next to her: "Hurry up and bring the basket and load it while it's hot." ”
"I'm coming," said the little bolt, picking up the pole and basket at his feet, and ran in first.
Inside the room, a thick heat came out of the three- or four-meter-high cage drawer, and the aroma of steamed buns could be smelled from afar.
One by one, the white and tender, round buns were picked up by Aunt Hua and put them in the basket, while telling the little bolts, "Sweeter mouth, drink bigger." ”
"Bun-"
"Selling steamed buns—"
"White, big, sweet buns—"
The little bolt shouted at his neck, and the room full of people laughed at his strange appearance.
Aunt Hua saw Mingyuan leaning against the door and greeted him: "Come here, I'll fill it for you, you guys should get off to a good start early." ”
"I don't know what the boss is thinking," Mingyuan muttered listlessly, squeezed in and took the basket to Aunt Hua, and saw the big white bun revealing its greed again.
"Let's go quickly," Aunt Hua stuffed one for them, scolding with a smile, "Don't be eaten by you before it opens, be careful on the road, if others ask, just say that it is from the back mountain, but don't be stupid and say that it is Dawangzhai." ”
The steamed buns with alkaline noodles not only look very good, but also taste unprecedented, and there are so many idlers in the village, just let them sell them, which is why there is a scene early in the morning.
The old uncle sent the eight and a half children out of the village, and he looked at them with anxiety, and sighed: "I don't know if it can be done, it's all rabbit cubs, and the boss will rest assured that he will hand it over to them."
The long shirt held his hands, and he was also looking at the children who were playing and walking out of the mountain: "If it works, you will know if it works, don't stand here anymore, go to find peach branches after eating, and do grafting, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the season." ”
"Boss knows so many weird things? Have you seen it in her house? When the old uncle talked about this, the curiosity in his heart turned the river and the sea overturned.
Chang Yi walked back with him, and when he heard this, he squinted at the old uncle: "I'm also curious, although I've seen it a long time ago, if you don't become an old uncle, you can ask." ”
"I'm not going," the old uncle was stunned when he thought of Zhao Xiaoman's indifferent Lian, and smiled, "Anyway, it's right to listen to her." Hey, fourth, what are you looking at, let's go. ”
"Shhhhh ”
The old uncle was too old to hear clearly, and he saw it when he knew that someone was coming on horseback.
Looking at the man who came on horseback, the old uncle said, "Isn't that Xue Yang?" ”
The signal smoke that appeared above the village before was to send a message to Xue Yang and them in the mountains.
After half an hour, Xue Yang came, and when they met the old uncle, they hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Nothing.
Zhao Xiaoman kept calling Xue Yang, the fat man who came over, to sit down.
"Try the steamed buns made in our village, and make sure you don't want to leave after eating," Aunt Hua put down the basket, made a few jokes and went out.
The fat man devoured: "The steamed bun has become like this?" Isn't this a snack, sweet? ”
Xue Yang also said that it was delicious, and the other brothers who came with him had already robbed the rest.
Zhao Xiaoman sat on the chair with one hand supporting his face and no energy at all.
Xue Yang asked while eating, "Why are you in such a hurry to call us over?" ”
Zhao Xiaoman: "Has Su Qinghe entered the mountains again these days?" ”
Called them over before dawn just to ask this?
Xue Yang bit down on the bun fiercely, and said vaguely: "I didn't pay attention." ”
The fat man on the opposite side looked up at him cautiously.
Xue Yang already said: "Boss, why are you asking this?" ”
Zhao Xiaoman idly put his tongue on the top side of his face: "Just ask." If you're okay, find someone for me. ”
"Something to do with Su Qinghe?" Xue Yang felt it at once.
"Heh," Zhao Xiaoman laughed for no reason, "Does it have anything to do with him, and what is the connection with me asking you to find someone?" ”
"I'll just ask," Xue Yang was awkward, and then asked, "Boss, who are you looking for?" ”
"The surname is Yan, his name is Yan Zhengqing, he is a scholar, help me find out this person."
Xue Yang rolled his throat: "What are you looking for this person?" Didn't Mr. Teacher just come to the village? ”
Zhao Xiaoman looked at him: "The news is quite well-informed." ”
"The brother who went up the mountain said," Xue Yang laughed.
He ate up the bun in a few bites, and said, "It's best to find someone who is engaged in learning, and I'll get someone to the boss after a while." Boss, you're giving me some signaling stuff. ”
*
The sky was exposed to the white belly of the fish, and Mingyuan and others also carried the basket into the county.
It's all half-sized, and I'm used to being wild in the mountains, and I don't feel tired when I walk with dozens of pounds of things, but I look confused when I enter the city.
Mingyuan, who was in charge of exploring the road here, commanded: "Let's go together, Lao Tang and Donkey will go to the east, and Fengfeng and Rizhao will go to the west......"
Eight people separated, and all of them pushed me and let the other party sell first.
"What's there to be afraid of," the little bolt opened his mouth and shouted loudly, "Sell steamed buns, fragrant and sweet steamed buns—"
Mingyuan looked at him and smiled: "If you shout a sentence that is whiter than a woman's thighs, you will definitely be able to open it immediately." ”
"you," the little bolt scolded, thinking he was stupid.
A few half-sized men shouted vigorously, wandering around the streets and alleys of Shixian, and got the orders of the long shirts, and shouted at the door of the door of the wealthy people.
"Why do you want a penny for a golden bun?"
The old man, who came out listening to the shouting, stopped the little bolt.
"Uncle," the little bolt turned around and ran back, lifting the thin white quilt on the basket, and the smell of exclusive pasta made the old man 'hey'.
The little bolt didn't say a word and broke a piece for the uncle: "You always taste it." ”
Seeing that the two of them were half-grown children, they looked like they couldn't do business, so the uncle took them and tasted them.
"Hey," he sighed again, his eyes lit up, and he quickly chewed the bun in his mouth, "why is it so soft and so elastic?" ”
"Yes," the little plug laughed, smug and said, "There is a secret recipe added to it, and it is very delicious." ”
"What's the secret ingredient?" The uncle finished the bun in a few bites, and looked into the basket with his eyes.
The little plug waved his hand, and said indifferently: "It's not a big deal, it's just to add some alkali to it when mixing noodles, it's not caustic soda, caustic soda people eat it badly, it's edible alkali, that thing can remove the sour taste in the pasta, so the steamed bun is soft and elastic, uncle, can you buy some?" ”
Uncle: "What edible alkali can be made by adding some edible alkali?" ”
"That's right," the little bolt continued to be careless, "if it's too expensive, go to the grocery store and buy edible soda and make it yourself." ”
"Okay, okay, don't say it," Mingyuan dragged him and gave him a look.
Seeing that they were leaving, several people who came around chased after them and asked one after another.
