Chapter 37: Fish Soup with Flatbread
Xu Hui went into the kitchen to see if the dough was good, washed her hands and pressed it, she felt almost it, rolled up her sleeves and kneaded her dough.
"How much strength you kid can have! Quickly put down the dough, I will come with your mother to knead the dough, and you can say how to cook this cake today! Deng Alian didn't ask her granddaughter how she caught so many fish, as long as the person is good, Deng Alian can accept anything.
Zhou Xiaomei stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at the petite figure, this child has been a little different since she woke up after hitting her head, and now even such strange things as attracting fish have happened to her, will there be more weird things in the future!
She couldn't help but think of the rumors in the village, could it be that the girl was really a fairy child in the sky? Will it be brought back after a while?
"Milk, mother, I slept in bed for two nights after the last fall, and when I woke up, I found that I liked to cook and cook, and I had some recipes in my head.
The water I scoop is also extraordinarily sweet, and I didn't expect it to attract fish, which is not always a bad thing, is it? "There are some things that must be revealed to the family members, and if you want to do business, it is impossible to keep the matter of clear spring water and spring water all the time.
"It's good that our family knows about these things, if anyone dares to leak it out, get out of the Xu family by themselves, and never have to come back in the future!" Deng Alian believed her granddaughter's words, and as soon as her words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Jianlin, and he was the most likely to leak secrets in the family.
Xu Jianlin jumped up: "I'm not a child anymore, okay?" Know what you can say and what you can't say outside, if you don't believe me, I can swear that if I Xu Jianlin leaks my sister's secret, I will die a good death......"
Xu Hui hurriedly ran a few steps to cover the second brother's mouth: "We believe you, don't swear at every turn!" "It's still that kind of poisonous oath, and I even said that I can't die well.
Deng Alian told her grandson to remember his words: "What should you do, why go, Zhiyong will separate the bigger fish, Huihui, what kind of fish are you going to use to make soup tomorrow!" ”
"Crucian carp, dad, help me distinguish crucian carp from other fish, let's make cakes!"
Zhou Xiaomei was responsible for adding firewood, Deng Alian rolled the cake, Xu Hui stepped on the stool and poured a little oil in the pot first, took a cake embryo and put it into the pot, waited for a while, used a shovel to lift the cake, and with the other hand, picked a piece of fat and quickly wiped it along the edge of the pot, and put the turned cake back into the pot.
Xu Hui's speed of baking cakes is faster than Deng Alian, but she is a child after all, and she has to take a break when she bakes three or five sheets, and the grandparents and grandchildren cooperate until dark to make one hundred and ten flatbreads.
"Tomorrow give me six crucian carp to make soup, and the rest of my father will sell them!" Xu Hui made crucian carp soup in the evening, and the family ate fifteen or six flatbreads.
After eating, she was more confident in tomorrow's business, and Deng Alian asked Xu Hui if she could teach her how to make soup, so that Xu Hui would not have to disguise herself and go to the market tomorrow.
Xu Hui took out a fish, taught her grandmother to make soup by hand, and after making it, she filled half a bowl by one person, Deng Alian drank it and shook her head: "This taste is far from good!" ”
"Milk, your craft is really not comparable to that of my little sister, some people are naturally good at doing something, and others can't learn it if they want to!" Xu Jianlin shook his head and said, suddenly feeling that his words were very reasonable, and asked the eldest brother and younger sister to think of an idiom to summarize it.
"Is the ruler short and the inch long?" Xu Jianwen said.
"That's called talent!" Xu Hui added.
"That's right, it's called talent!
Although Deng Alian was very annoyed, she didn't throw her shoes at her grandson for the first time, and she herself admitted that the fish soup she boiled was not as delicious as her granddaughter's cooking.
"Then tomorrow we will work hard, sell fish soup and flatbread milk for you to buy maltose to eat!" Deng Alian promised.
"Little sister, you will definitely leave a piece for the second brother, right?" Tomorrow, one of the Xu brothers will go to a private school, one will take care of the house, and the others will go to the market to set up stalls.
After the discussion, the Xu family rested early, and the next morning, when they could see the road clearly, Xu Zhiyong drove the ox cart out.
Deng Alian wrapped her granddaughter in a thick dress and let her lie in her arms before she could sleep, and she had to walk half an hour from Shiling Village to the county seat!
"Okay, I'll sleep again, call me somewhere!" Xu Hui knows that her grandmother feels guilty in her heart, so let her old man feel better!
When the Xu family came to the market, the sellers arrived one after another, and they were all busy working on their own territory. The area occupied by the Xu family is close to the end of the market, and most of them sell agricultural products and farm tools, and there is really no food.
Moving the tables and chairs from the store, Xu Zhiyong quickly set up two simple tandoor stoves, and on the other side, Xu Hui had already put the condiments for the soup and the washed fish in the pot, waiting for the fire to boil the fish soup and hot flatbread.
"Your family is going to sell food! It's the end of the market, can you sell food here? A lady selling roosters next to her kindly reminded the Xu family.
Deng Alian's heart was already bottomless, and she was really worried when she heard others say this.
"Milk, although the location here is not very good, there is no food for sale! Today's wind is blowing on the other side of the market, and the smell of fish soup is sure to attract customers after a while. Xu Hui comforted her grandmother.
A few of the stalls next to him shook their heads, what does a child know, the people who came here basically came over with a full meal and drink in front, who would stay up until the end of the market and then eat! There are many housekeepers and maids of large families who never come to them.
The cauldron sat on the stove, Deng Alian Mali lit the fire, Xu Hui heard her muttering while working, she must open today, everything goes well!
Add a bucket and a half of water to the pot, Xu Hui put in a seasoning bag wrapped in muslin, and dripped two drops of soup spring water while putting things, the fire under the stove quickly ignited, and when the hot air came out of the pot, someone shouted, "It's so fragrant!" ”
"Auntie, what kind of food is your family selling, it smells so good!" Several vegetable sellers came to inquire.
"Fish soup is flatbread, fish soup is a penny a bowl, flatbread is a penny, a woman is full in a bowl of soup and a cake, and she also eats meat, how cost-effective, the best appetite for men is two bowls of soup and two cakes are also full, and it will cost four cents at most, you can not only drink delicious fish soup, but also eat cakes without loss!" Deng Alian had already thought of a way to solicit guests.
Xu Hui gave her grandmother a thumbs up, and they couldn't go wrong with renting their grandson to cooperate in business.
The aroma of the fish soup is getting stronger and stronger, the fish raised in the space, the addition of soup spring water, coupled with Xu Hui's cooking skills, it is difficult to think of fish soup whether it tastes good or not.
When the fish soup is almost ready, another pot stove is also lit, and twenty or thirty flatbreads are spread on the clean curtain, as long as the fire is guaranteed under this stove, the dough is very soft when it is slightly hot.
