Chapter 29: The Pigeon Is Released
Then, she called Shen Xiuyuan to come and help pick the fish.
Shen Xiuyuan didn't know where to start, but Mu Dongzhi picked up a small fish and pinched it along the navel, and squeezed it with both fingers, squeezing out the belly of the small fish.
He did the same as he did on the winter solstice.
The two of them fumbled until noon to clean up the fish, and they didn't bother to eat breakfast.
"You go burn the pot." Mu Dongzhi said.
Shen Xiuyuan went to boil the pot.
Mu Dongzhi poured oil into the pot, let Shen Xiuyuan burn it, and went to get the small fish by himself.
She put some salt in the fish, and when all the salt had melted, she beat three eggs into it and mixed some dry flour.
The small fish are coated in egg wash, and then mixed with dry flour, and immediately they all turn into battered fish one by one.
When the oil in the pot was hot, she put the small fish in the pot one by one.
"Don't get too big of a fire." Mu Dongzhi said.
Shen Xiuyuan immediately controlled the heat.
I saw that Mu Dongzhi's movements were quite fast, she put the small fish into the pot one by one, and waited until the small fish were fried hard, and then used two pairs of chopsticks to copy the bottom of the pot and fished it, and the small fish were copied together.
She slowly turned the fish in the pot over and continued to fry it.
Fried until the fish was brown, then it was fished into the sieve where the pork liver was put before.
Then, she continued to fish the fish.
The two of them fried the fish for a long time, and when Shen Kuan came back, they hadn't finished blowing it up.
Shen Kuan was surprised to see Mu Dongzhi fried the fish.
He went to the river last night to catch it, to be precise, he used a frame to make it.
I was thinking about cooking fish soup tomorrow, but I didn't expect Mu Dongzhi to fry it.
It's fried, and I can't finish it today anyway.
Mu Dongzhi finished frying the last pot of fish, put the oil out, left the oil base, and let Shen Xiuyuan continue to burn the fire.
She directly added water and asked him to boil it.
After the water boiled, she grabbed a handful of fried fish and put it in, then put water in the basin where she had just wrapped the fish in batter, and when the water boiled in the pot, she poured the flour water into it.
After boiling again, she put the green onion in it.
The fragrant fish soup is out of the pot.
Mu Dongzhi beckoned Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan to drink fish soup, and said, "Drink some fish soup first, and you can eat more steamed buns in a while." ”
Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan were very excited when they heard that they were going to eat steamed buns.
The bun of Mu Dongzhi is not a pure white flour bun, but a bun mixed with rice noodles.
However, rice flour accounts for less, and wheat flour accounts for more.
After eating, she saw that the noodles in the morning were opened, so she asked Shen Xiuyuan to help make the noodles.
She's so small, she can't even move such a large piece of noodles.
However, the amount of alkali is in her hands, and Shen Xiuyuan's task is to mix these alkalis into the noodles.
It's a lot of work.
Shen Xiuyuan was not ambiguous.
He prepared the noodles, covered Mu Dongzhi with a cloth, and woke up for a while before going to make steamed buns.
When she dragged the bun, she was dragged according to the size of her palm, and after she had enough to steam a pot, she kneaded the bun.
Knead them all into a circle and set them aside.
Spread the cage cloth on the grate, put the bun on it, and steam it in the pot.
Shen Xiuyuan was boiling the pot, and Shen Kuan was busy chopping firewood.
After the first pot of steamed buns came out, the three of them finished eating.
Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan hadn't eaten steamed buns for a long time.
The steamed buns that came out of the pot felt that I didn't feel full no matter how much I ate, and when I finished eating a pot of steamed buns, I found that I had eaten too much.
Shen Kuan was overjoyed, thinking that they had found a treasure.
originally thought that Mu Dongzhi would not be able to steam, but I didn't expect that she would not only know, but also have good craftsmanship.
Mu Dongzhi steamed the buns for an afternoon, all the noodles were steamed, and a lot of steamed buns were also steamed.
They spread the buns out and left them to dry.
Mu Dongzhi went to pick a handful of fungus seeds, came back and put them in a bowl and mashed them, took a chopstick and carried the bowl to the house, turned the bun over, and used chopsticks to dot the red dot on the bun.
This is the Hualien bun when the beam was put on.
Everything was ready, and Mu Dongzhi put the buns in a clean frame.
Shen Xiuyuan and Shen Kuan both said that they ate a little bit in the afternoon, and they just drank some noodle soup in the evening.
Mu Dongzhi didn't say much, anyway, now there are more buns at home, and no one is hungry.
Mu Dongzhi still wanted to continue to work this night, but Shen Kuan said that he would be very busy tomorrow, so let them rest early tonight.
Mu Dongzhi said: "Big brother, you also have to rest early, you can't be tired anymore." ”
Shen Kuan's chest was warm, and he walked behind the fence with a hum.
The next day, Shen Kuan got up early in the morning and went to carry all the beams that were to be mounted together.
Many children came to see the excitement, and they were all waiting to grab Hualien buns.
"Brother Shen, are you going to be able to get on the beam today?" One of the children asked.
"Up."
"But Uncle Nezumi, they went to sell bamboo baskets early in the morning, and the door was locked." The kid said.
The movement in Shen Kuan's hand suddenly stopped, and asked:
"What did you say?"
The child was a little scared of Shen Kuan, and immediately took two steps back, and stammered: "Root, root, uncle, they went to sell bamboo baskets early in the morning." ”
Shen Kuan immediately became angry when he heard this, obviously he said last night that he would help them on the beam, why did he go to sell bamboo baskets early this morning?
He immediately dropped the work in his hand and prepared to go to Anyuan Town to ask for an understanding.
Mu Dongzhi just came over and called him back for dinner, she heard the child's words, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Big brother, don't be in a hurry to get angry first, it's a big deal for our family to go to Liang."
It's better for us to look for someone else, ten copper plates a day, there is always someone to do it. ”
When she finished, she looked at the child and said, "Come with me." ”
The child was not a few years younger than Mu Dongzhi, and he was not very afraid of her.
followed her to the door of the old house.
Mu Dongzhi went into the house to get a few steamed buns, and said, "You go and help me find someone to come to the beam, and give ten copper plates a day."
If they don't believe me, show them the buns, and they will come. ”
When the child saw the Hualien bun in his hand, he immediately nodded excitedly and said:
"I'll go now."
After a while, seven or eight strong men came, led by Wang Da Fat, who was a real person.
"That big brother of the Shen family, I heard that your family is looking for someone in Shangliang, but is it true?"
"Hmm." Shen Kuan replied.
Shen Xiuyuan hurriedly answered and said, "Ten copper plates a day, take care of the rice." ”
"Then you see a few of us can do." Wang Dapang said.
"Okay, the big fat brothers and these brothers are willing to come, we are honored." Shen Xiuyuan smiled elegantly.
Wang Dapang saw Shen Xiuyuan like this, and laughed with his hands on the back of his head.
I thought that reading people would listen to it well.
Mu Dongzhi came out with a basket of steamed buns and said, "Shangliang is a hard work, you eat steamed buns first." ”
Those people are surprised, you look at me, I look at you, do you eat buns before you start working?
"I've eaten, I've eaten." Wang Dapang hurriedly waved his hand.
"Eat more." Mu Dongzhi said.
Those people were all honest people, and they couldn't hold back, so one of them took a bun and gnawed it.
