Chapter 9: Make oil rolls
When I returned to Aunt Wang's house, it was past noon, and when I entered the yard, several children were chasing after me, and they were playing energetically.
"Sister, you're finally back, Yanyan misses you", the little girl hugged her leg and said coquettishly.
"I'll see, what do you think, the mouth is still the belly", Li Miaomiao pinched the little girl's belly after speaking, and the itchy girl giggled.
"Sister, I miss you too", Lei Lei is older, and he is embarrassed to report to his sister outside.
"Well, Lei Lei is good, my sister misses you too."
Seeing Da Niu and Erya shyly standing aside, Li Miaomiao also stepped forward and gently touched the top of the two children's heads, "Good boy, sister, thank you for helping to take care of Lei Lei and Yanyan, it's okay to go to my house to play, sister will make you something to eat."
Looking at Li Miaomiao, who suddenly became so gentle in front of them, the two children felt incredible, so much so that they forgot to reply and just looked at her blankly.
"These two children, why don't you talk to your sister silently", Aunt Wang looked at the children who were staying and urged loudly.
"It's okay, auntie, the child and I are a little raw, I'll come more in the future", seeing that Aunt Wang was about to open her mouth to blame the child again, Li Miaomiao hurriedly stopped her, "Auntie, it's not early, hurry up and cook something for the child, it's time to be hungry."
It was already past lunch, and Li Miaomiao didn't stay long, so she refused Aunt Wang's kindness to stay for dinner, and took her younger siblings back to her house. The two homes are close to each other, and they are only a few steps away.
"You two are hungry, my sister brought you buns."
"Really, sister, there are buns to eat"
"Of course, my sister promised you, and she won't break her promise"
Let the two children eat steamed buns in the house, and Li Miaomiao went to the stove room to store the things bought in the town. There is only a small jar of noodles at home, and the white noodles are only two catties, so she decided to steam some steamed buns and stop pretending. Pour four catties of black noodles into it, and put salt into the seasoning jar, soybean oil is contained in a jar, and you can put it directly on the table. At this point, it's cleaned up, and it's really easy to clean up.
Poured half of the two catties of white noodles, grabbed several handfuls of black noodles, and used the old noodles taken from Aunt Wang's house, Li Miaomiao began to make noodles, ready to steam steamed buns to eat at night, and let her only eat mushy gruel every day, she couldn't stand it, she originally wanted to make it all with white noodles, but it was still too luxurious.
After living the noodles and covering them with something, Li Miaomiao left the kitchen, now that the weather is warm, the dough should be able to rise well.
Back in the bedroom, the two children had finished eating steamed buns and playing on the kang. Seeing that there was still a bun left next to her, Li Miaomiao looked at the two children.
"Leave it for my sister", Lei Lei opened his mouth to answer to his sister.
"Well, sister eat", seeing such a sensible child, Li Miaomiao's heart was warm, and she didn't say much, and began to eat steamed buns with warm water. The child is so sensible, she shouldn't change.
The ancient buns are really Hui, Rao is an adult, and she is also full.
After eating the buns and looking at the dilapidated house, Li Miaomiao decided to change it, the family can be lacking, but she can't feel dirty, for her who is mildly clean, it is really torturous to be in such an environment.
There are also weeds in the yard, Li Miaomiao asked the two children to pull it out first, she didn't want the two children to be tired, but the two little guys insisted on helping her, and it would be bad to shirk it again, and the family should work together.
She began to clean up the house herself, first drying the quilt on the rope in the yard, she wanted to disassemble and wash the quilt, but she couldn't find a change of washing when she searched the house, the quilt was hard and dirty, I really don't know how Miao Cuilan, who has always regarded herself as the eldest lady, received it.
When she has money, she must completely change her set. Sleep is so important that you can't settle down. There was no way to change the washing, so Li Miaomiao had to take a stick and beat it vigorously, hoping to knock out the dust.
I couldn't find the rags, so I reduced a piece of Li Sanzhuang's clothes, fetched water to dismantle and wash all the house. went to the kitchen to clean it thoroughly, and Li Miaomiao's tired waist was almost straight.
After resting for a while, they went to the yard to weed with their younger siblings, Rao is not a big yard, and it took the three of them most of the day to clean it.
Seeing that it was not too early, Li Miaomiao washed her hands and began to steam the steamed buns, the dough fermented to twice the size, and the smell of raw noodles was very fragrant. Since there is salt and oil, Li Miaomiao decided to make oil rolls to eat, and her favorite thing to eat when she was a child was oil rolls.
Because she often did it in her previous life, Li Miaomiao skillfully kneaded the noodles, rolled them into a large dough agent, smeared them with oil, sprinkled them with salt, and asked Lei Lei to go to the back of the house to pull out some wild onions, wash them and cut them into green onions, sprinkle them well, make them into shapes, and wake up on the table.
Lei Lei began to burn the fire, I have to say that this child's fire-burning skills are much better than his own, and he is really a poor man's child.
The water was boiling, and because there was no steamer, the thirty rolls of oil had to be steamed in three parts.
Soon the first pot was baked, and as soon as the lid was opened, the aroma spread throughout the kitchen, and Li Miaomiao couldn't help but spit. I dipped my hand in cold water and put them into the basket one by one. The steamed buns are soft and fragrant, but the color is not very good-looking, and if they are all white, they will be particularly beautiful.
Originally, he prepared this pot to give away, but seeing that the two children were hungry, Li Miaomiao pointed out six and put them in the basket. put ten more raw ones into the pot, let Lei Lei look at the fire, she decided to take Yanyan to send it to Aunt Wang, but this girl only cared about eating the oil rolls in her hand, so she didn't react.
I had to go by myself, and when I arrived at Aunt Wang's house, she was weeding in the vegetable garden with her two children. Seeing Li Miaomiao, she hurriedly led the child over.
"Miao Miao, why did you come here at this point?"
"Auntie, I steamed some oil rolls, and sent them over for you all to taste."
"Why do you send things again, buy that little noodles and save some money, my aunt's family has something to eat, take it back quickly"
"Auntie, I make a lot, and it's not a precious thing, you can eat it," he said, lifting the cloth that covered the basket.
The fragrance came all of a sudden, and looking at her child looking at the basket, Aunt Wang no longer shirked and took the basket. I'll be kind to those kids in the future.
"How do you do it, it's so fragrant, it's even more fragrant than what is sold in the town"
"I put white flour, oil, and some chopped green onions, if my aunt wants to learn, I will teach my aunt when I have time."
Hearing that there was white flour and oil, Aunt Wang wanted to send the basket to Li Miaomiao's hand again, but thinking of Li Miaomiao's temperament, she had to give up.
"Miao Miao, you still have to save a little bit of your life, otherwise you ......"
"Auntie, I know, but things are not saved, they are earned, don't worry, auntie, I will definitely be able to earn more money"
"Auntie believes in you", this girl is capable.
"Auntie, I'll go back first, it's still steaming in the pot."
"Then you go back quickly", Aunt Wang urged Li Miaomiao to go back.
When she got home, the oil rolls were just right, and Li Miaomiao picked them all out and put them in a basket for the other two neighbors who usually took care of them.
When I came back, it was almost dark, and there was no kerosene lamp at home, so Li Miaomiao hurriedly finished eating and boiled water to wash herself and her younger siblings, otherwise it would be inconvenient to do anything when it was completely dark.
After washing up, I lie on the bed, so to speak, I close my eyes and fall asleep. Today is really tired, climbing the mountain, catching up with the market, and cleaning, Li Miaomiao feels that her body is hollowed out.
