Chapter 287: Scallion Pancake
"Shopkeeper, the eggs are back." Erzhuzi bought a basket of eggs and trotted all the way back, sweat on his forehead and he didn't even bother to wipe it.
"How many eggs are there?" Song Lingyue stretched her neck and glanced at the basket, which was full of eggs.
"There are fifty of them! Originally, it was three cents a piece, but I discussed it with the lady who sold eggs and said that I wanted it, so I only received a hundred dollars, and these were the rest. Erzhuzi handed over the rest of the money to Song Lingyue, "The shopkeeper, I'll go out if there's nothing to do." ”
Song Lingyue replied casually, and the two pillars withdrew.
Ten eggs were taken out of the basket, knocked into a large basin, and crushed to form a golden egg mixture, which was set aside.
I scooped three jars of flour from the dough bowl with a scoop, poured it into another basin, and mixed the flour with cold water little by little.
Grease your hands and start kneading the dough until the dough is lumped a little bit under the kneading of your hands and becomes smooth and no longer sticky to your hands.
Kneading the dough into plum-sized pieces, putting it aside for later use, Qi Mo, who went to pick vegetables at this time, also came back.
Without Song Lingyue's instructions, he went to the water tank to scoop water and wash the vegetables, cut the eggplant loofah into hob pieces, cut the chives into minced green onions, and handed them directly to Song Lingyue.
Song Lingyue raised her eyes to look at the bowl full of green onions and smiled, "How do you know I want green onions?" They all cut it for me. ”
"If you look at kneading the dough, you probably want to make scallion pancakes, right? Speaking of which, it seems like you haven't made scallion pancakes for us in a long time. The last sentence carries an indisputable resentment.
Song Lingyue couldn't help laughing: "It's not easy to eat scallion pancakes?" Let you eat enough in a while. ”
Song Lingyue's work did not stop, she rolled out the agent with a rolling pin, smeared oil on one side, sprinkled chopped green onions on the other, and then wrapped the dough with chopped green onions.
After rolling into a long strip, the long strip of dough is coiled into a circle, pressed tightly by hand, the originally separated dough will be re-glued together, and then rolled with a rolling pin, it becomes the cake base of the scallion pancake, as long as it is fried on both sides of the pan, it can become a golden crispy, with a rich scallion fragrance scallion pancake.
Half of the prepared eggs were made into fried loofah, and the other half was made into egg custard, with a little sesame oil to enhance the flavor, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions.
Song Lingyue quickly fried the scallion pancakes with her hands and feet, and Qi Mo had already prepared a clean plate and waited, and the two of them cooperated tacitly and finished all the scallion pancakes in a short time.
Song Lingyue took a scallion pancake regardless of the scalding, separated it from the middle, left half for herself, and handed half to Qi Mo:
"Didn't you say you wanted to eat scallion pancakes? You eat first. ”
Qi Mo didn't dislike it, mainly because his gluttonous worms were already making trouble in the Five Organs Temple.
While the scallion pancake was still hot, take a bite, the scallion fragrance mixed with the wheat fragrance brought by the dough cake, the light pepper and salty salt seasoning was just right, the onion aroma stimulated the appetite, and the saliva was secreted in the mouth, so that Qi Mo ate the scallion pancake that was half the size of his face in just three or two bites.
This scallion pancake Song Lingyue specially made it bigger, and she was already six minutes full after eating half of it, and then looked at Qi Mo's gobbling appearance, she seemed to be hungry, and couldn't help laughing:
"I don't think we'll go back to dinner, let's just eat with them here! I should have made as many cakes and dishes! ”
Qi Mo's good-looking brows furrowed inaudibly, but they quickly relaxed.
Song Lingyue had already walked out of the kitchen door with scallion pancakes, but she didn't see this scene.
Erzhuzi came to see the fragrance when he smelled the fragrance, and when he saw Song Lingyue holding a scallion pancake in his hand, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Shopkeeper, what are you doing?" It smells so good! ”
"Scallion pancakes." Song Lingyue replied with a smile, "It's a pity that I moved here too late today, and I couldn't buy some meat dishes, so I can only let you settle for a while." ”
Erzhuzi's eyes widened, and he was so greedy that he only swallowed saliva, this rich oil fragrance mixed with the fragrance of green onions, seduced him to secrete a lot of saliva, and he just wanted to eat one now.
Although the fat aunt also made meat dishes for them before, the fat aunt was stingy by nature and was reluctant to put oil and salt, and the so-called meat dishes were just a little meat foam.
But even so, for those of them who are from poor backgrounds and can only eat meat all year round, they are already satisfied with a little meat.
can look at Song Lingyue's scallion pancake, golden and crispy, at a glance, you can know that there is a lot of oil, which naturally makes him greedy.
Song Lingyue looked at him with a pair of eyes looking directly at the scallion pancakes on the plate.
She moved the plate to the right, and the eyeballs of the two pillars followed to the right, and moved the plate to the left, and the eyes of the two pillars also moved to the left.
Song Lingyue couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, don't look at it, you call a few people to the kitchen to bring out the remaining scallion pancakes and vegetables." ”
Erzhuzi wiped the saliva oozing from the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go and ask someone to go to the kitchen to serve food." ”
Song Lingyue baked more than 100 scallion pancakes, which took five plates to fit, plus a large pot of scrambled eggs with loofah and a large bowl of steamed eggs, each of which was extremely large.
I thought that this amount of more than a dozen people should be enough to eat, but I didn't expect that with her order to open the meal, the dozen or so workers were like hungry wolves, grabbing scallion pancakes.
But in a blink of an eye, the five plates of scallion pancakes were eaten at a low level, and the big pot of loofah scrambled eggs was eaten by them on the scallion pancakes.
"Oh my God." Song Lingyue was frightened by their ferocious eating posture, took a step back, and said with a wry smile:
"I thought there was a lot to do, but I was afraid that these things would not be enough for them to eat."
With just this skill, the big bowl of steamed eggs was divided up by the sixteen people.
The youngest boy, named Shugen, held the big bowl and scraped off the egg custard that stuck to the bowl little by little with a spoon, wishing he could lick the whole bowl again.
"Delicious! It's really delicious! Erzhuzi swallowed the last bite of scallion pancake, and his ten fingers were stained with oil stars, but his heart and stomach were satisfied.
Erzhuzi patted his round stomach and let out a satisfied sigh, "Even my mother can't make such delicious cakes." ”
Zhao Quan on the side said with a smile: "You are talking nonsense, this cake is used for fine flour at a glance, not to mention that there is no cornmeal in it, not even grit." ”
The roots of the tree that were full of oil wiped a handful of oily mouths, and clicked their mouths, as if they were still unsatisfied: "I don't just use fine noodles but also smear oil, which is fragrant and crispy, and it is much better than what my mother made." ”
"I didn't expect the shopkeeper's cooking skills to be so good, it's so delicious."
"You know that the scallion pancakes, I think the egg custard is really delicious, and the sesame oil is also put in, and the taste of the eggs is called a strong one!"
“……”
Everyone praised Song Lingyue's delicious cooking, which made Song Lingyue a little embarrassed.
"It's too late today, I can only do it casually, and tomorrow I will go to the tooth shop to recruit the cook, and everyone will have a hot meal every day in the future, but I am afraid that I will wronged you in the past two days." Song Lingyue smiled apologetically at everyone.
Zhao Quan, who was the leader, was the oldest among them, he stood up and smiled at Song Lingyue, and said:
"We're all rough men, just have a bite of hot food. We all see the good of the owner to us.
There is no need to worry about this trick cook, although we are all big and rough and don't know how to eat too carefully, but the following noodles will still be done, and you can deal with two bites. ”
"Okay, then you have been wronged in the past two days, and when you recruit the cook, I will ask the cook to cook for you." Song Lingyue promised with a smile.
The second pillar on the side had a lively personality, and he had an idea with a roll of his eyes, and saw that Song Lingyue was a good person to get along with, so he asked:
"I don't know what kind of cook the owner is looking for? What are the requirements? ”
Song Lingyue thought for a moment and said:
"The most important thing is, of course, to be able to cook, and to make a big pot of rice, which is much more difficult to do than a small stove.
Then people should love cleanliness and hygiene, it is best to be careful in doing things, it doesn't matter if you are older, the most important thing is to be diligent with hands and feet. ”
"There are recommended candidates for the small ones, I don't know if the owner is willing to give it a try?" Erzhu rubbed his hands together and asked Song Lingyue cautiously.
Song Lingyue raised a thin brow: "Tell me?" ”
"Sister-in-law Qiu Ju is quite in line with your requirements." The second pillar reported that a person was chosen.
"Who is Qiu Ju?" Song Lingyue blinked.
"It's Brother Quan's daughter-in-law." Erzhuzi's eyes were shining, "Don't you know, Aunt Qiu Ju's good cooking skills, when she was in good health before, the red and white ceremonies in the village liked to find Aunt Qiu Ju to do." ”
"I think of Erzhuzi, Qiu Ju girl is indeed good, she works neatly, and she is also very good at cooking tea and rice." Zhao Quan on the side also agreed with the statement of the second pillar.
Although the others did not speak, they seemed to agree with this statement.
"The owner, why don't you give this cook's job to Aunt Qiu Ju! Now that Brother Daquan is in prison, he can't get out for a while, and Aunt Qiu Ju has to farm and take Niuniu in the village alone, which is too hard.
No matter what Brother Daquan says, he is from the same village as us, he has done something wrong......" Erzhuzi said this, raised his head and carefully glanced at Song Lingyue's face, and saw that there was no strange expression on her face, so he continued:
"But Aunt Qiu Ju and Niuniu are innocent, and we have all promised Brother Daquan to help take care of Aunt Qiu Ju, but we all have our own families to take care of, and we take too little care of Aunt Qiu Ju and Niuniu.
If the owner agrees to hire Aunt Qiu Ju to be a cook, it is equivalent to giving Aunt Qiu Ju and Niuniu hope to live. ”
Song Lingyue's brows furrowed slightly, Erzhuzi said these words with a smell of moral kidnapping, but she also promised Daquan to help take care of his daughter-in-law.
