Chapter 27: Doubts
Qiao Ruyi smiled and said to Qiao Laixing:
Alright, let's go. Nina is still waiting for us at home.
The two of them walked home with a basket on their backs, and when they arrived at the door, they saw Qiao Ruxin curled up and sitting at the door, with her hands on her shoulders and her head buried in it, looking like she was asleep.
Qiao Ruyi smiled when she saw it, walked up lightly, and whispered:
Ruxin, I'm about to wake up, why are I asleep here, and I'm going to catch a cold when the wind blows down.
Qiao Ruxin raised her head when she heard this, her sleepy eyes were still a little blurry, and when she saw that it was Qiao Ruyi, she said with a smile:
Sister, you're back.
After speaking, he rubbed his eyes with his hands.
Let's go, let's go inside, remember not to sleep outside, you know.
Qiao Ruyi instructed again.
Well, sister, I see.
Qiao Nina agreed.
Qiao Ruyi took her younger siblings into the courtyard and closed the door. Came to the kitchen and looked at the flour placed next to it, after all, it was the graphite milled out of his own family, the flour here is slightly dark, there is no modern white fine, but these days, Qiao Ruyi has been eating Wowotou on Qiao Lao Niang's side, Zheng has always been steaming Wowotou to eat, but Qiao Ruyi knows that the life of Qiao's family is not particularly difficult, and it has been smooth all these years, even the days of Qiao Laoniang's family will not be able to afford to eat white noodles, I don't know why Zheng has been eating Wowotou, The rest of the Qiao family also seemed to be used to it, and they never said anything,
But Qiao Ruyi is really impatient to eat, the taste of Wowotou is too rough, the taste is not good, Qiao Ruyi has long wanted to eat white flour steamed buns, soft puff, it tastes very sweet, in Qiao Lao Niang's side can not be the master, now I can be the master of my own preferences, Qiao Ruyi thought of this, so she decided to make steamed buns to eat, she is a northerner, often make steamed buns to eat in her spare time, there is no baking powder here, you can only use old noodles as an introduction, thinking of this, I took a basin, poured half a bowl of noodles with water and into a ball, It will take a long time for this old face to be good. Thinking that Qiao Ruxin was hungry, she made noodles again, plastic, and made a few dead noodles steamed buns to give birth to embryos
Qiao Ruyi then took out dried dates and sweet potatoes and sweet potato seedlings from the back basket.
Sister, are you going to cook, I'll help you too
Qiao Ruxin ran over and said to Qiao Ruyi:
Okay, Ruxin, there are red dates and sweet potatoes here, you take them to wash the dates and remove the core, and the sweet potatoes are washed and cut into pieces.
Okay, Qiao Ruxin listened to it and ran out.
Sister, what can I do?
Qiao Laixing also walked over.
Qiao Ruyi looked at it and said:
Zixing, you make a fire, choose the coarser firewood, and you can stop burning.
Got it, sister.
Qiao Laixing heard this, so he went to get firewood.
Qiao Ruyi took a basin to wash the sweet potato seedlings, and then cut them into one by one. Qiao Laixing held the firewood and put it under the stove, and after a while, the pot was hot, Qiao Ruyi put the oil, and when the oil was hot, he put the cut sweet potato seedlings into the pot, took the shovel and stirred it up and down evenly, added salt, fried and served in a bowl.
Sister, it's so fragrant
Qiao Nina ran and said. His mouth was almost drooling, Qiao Ruyi smiled and said:
We'll be able to eat later, Ruxin, have you packed up the dates?
Packed up
Qiao Nina nodded and agreed, and brought the packed dates.
Qiao Ruyi took it, put the dates and sweet potatoes in the pot, added two large scoops of water to the pot, then added a handful of cornmeal, added a steaming curtain on it, put the prepared steamed bun embryo on it, covered the pot, and burned it underneath.
Qiao Ruyi began to mix noodles, took out two large bowls of flour from the flour bag, put a large bowl of water, first used chopsticks to roughly live into cotton wool, and then began to mix noodles up and down with his hands.
Sister, I've got the jujubes ready.
Qiao Ruxin said, and broke the red dates with the removed core in a basin, Qiao Ruyi looked inward and said: Yes, Nina cleaned it up.
Qiao Ruyi looked at the noodles in his hand, which were roughly smooth, so he put the noodles in a warm and sunny place, and then took the basin in Qiao Ruxin's hand. Qiao Laixing happened to come over with a bunch of dry branches at this time. Qiao Ruyi said:
Come on, you can make a fire.
Well, when Qiao Laixing heard this, he squatted under the stove and lit a fire. After a while, hot air came out of the pot, and the room was filled with fragrance.
Qiao Ruxin snorted fiercely and said, "It's so fragrant, sister, what can we eat?"
It's fast, it's coming, it's just going to be boring for a while.
Qiao Ruyi said.
Well, Qiao Nina nodded and replied.
After a while, Qiao Ruyi opened the lid of the pot, the steamed buns on the steamer had been cooked, Qiao Ruyi quickly picked out the steamed buns and put them in the dustpan, and then took out the sweet potato and red date corn porridge in a bowl.
Qiao Ruxin rushed up to serve the bowl, Qiao Laixing put down the table, and the three of them had a beautiful meal.
After eating, there was warmth in the stomach, the earthen kang in the inner room was connected to the stove, the heat in the stove was transmitted to the earthen kang, and the earthen kang was also warm, Qiao Ruyi and the three of them were busy for most of the day, they all went to the kang and fell asleep soundly.
I don't know how long later, Qiao Ruyi woke up with his eyes, the sun had set, the sky was dark, and it was already twilight.
Qiao Ruyi got up and got off the kang, came to the kitchen, and took a look at the old noodles he had made earlier. Then I started to add noodles, sleep, and old noodles were kneaded together, kneaded until the surface was smooth, and then put aside the noodles.
I saw that there were still a few red dates on the steamer, so I might as well make red date steamed buns, Qiao Ruyi wanted to do it, Qiao Ruyi took out the red dates, and smashed them with a spoon.
Sister, what are you doing here?
Qiao Ruxin didn't know when she woke up, walked out, and asked when she saw Qiao Ruyi's movements.
I'm making red date steamed buns, let's eat red date steamed buns early tomorrow morning.
Qiao Ruyi said, the dough in the basin was twice as big, pressed it with his hand, and did not shrink back, Qiao Ruyi knew that this was a good noodle, so he put the mashed red dates in the basin and kneaded them with both hands.
Sister, what are you doing here?
Qiao Ruxin stood next to her, watching Qiao Ruyi's movements with both eyes, looking at her appearance, it seemed to be particularly curious.
Steamed steamed buns
Qiao Ruyi said, what, has the eldest aunt never done it?
Qiao Ruxin shook her head and said:
The eldest aunt has always eaten the nest and the nest, and has never eaten steamed bread, sister, what is steamed bread?
Poor child, he doesn't even know what a steamed bun is, Qiao Ruyi thought, this Zheng family is too lazy, and noodles do have to use some strength, but they can't not be made for their families all at once.
Qiao Ruyi couldn't help but shake her head and said to Qiao Ruxin:
Ruxin, this steamed bun,
Qiao Ruyi thought for a while, and didn't know how to explain it to Qiao Ruxin, so she said:
When my sister makes it, you'll know.
Qiao Ruyi said, looked at the noodles and kneaded them almost, and then divided them into pieces, each piece was kneaded into a semicircle, Qiao Ruxin looked at it motionlessly, and when she saw that the steamed bun was formed, Qiao Ruxin suddenly raised a serious little face and asked:
Sister, how do you know how to make steamed buns?
Belch-
Qiao Ruyi listened, and couldn't help but be stunned, steamed buns are a very common staple food in them, Qiao Ruyi naturally made it, and did not prevent Qiao Ruxin from doing this, how would she answer, if she said that she was wrong and missed, and was discovered by others, would she be regarded as a monster, would it be put on the shelf and set on fire by the people here, and the thoughts of people here do not know whether they are ignorant or not. Qiao Ruyi thought of this, and couldn't help but be stunned.
