Chapter 43: Cooking Cakes
I can use the rules to restrain everyone, but I can't restrain my mother-in-law from managing my daughter-in-law, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has been a trouble since ancient times, and I have a headache when I think about it.
Liu was making faces, Ruyi brought firewood and lit it with dry branches, and then stuffed a lot of chopped firewood into it, and the fire burned brightly, and the flickering flames illuminated Ruyi's face red.
"Mother, what do you cook deliciously?" Ruyi is also hungry today, but there are so many people, and there is not much food at home, let alone eating, the bowls are not enough, Ruyi frowned, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
"Mother has her own way." Liu bent the corners of her lips mysteriously, Liu is a good hand in the kitchen, and this thing is not difficult for her.
Ruyi thought about it, Liu has been learning to cook since he can remember, and this thing is naturally not a problem.
What Ruyi didn't know was that when Liu was a girl in her mother's house, she was the most skillful girl in the village, whether it was needlework or tea and rice, she was a good hand in the village.
Shili and Eight Villages are very famous, and because of their delicate and gentle appearance, many people in Shili and Eight Villages come to inquire, which can be described as a good girl in a hundred families, and when she is fourteen or fifteen years old, the matchmaker is about to break the threshold of her family.
Liu's father and mother are also very open-minded, although the marriage is decided by the second elder, but Liu also has to nod himself, in the words of Liu's mother, people are your own choice, and the days to come are also your own life, whether you cry or laugh at the path you choose, and grasp it yourself.
In the summer of fifteen years old, when Liu went to deliver food to his father and brother in the field, he met Daddy Yu who was passing by in the village, and the two couldn't help blushing when they saw each other.
At that time, I thought that the life of the Zhuang family was almost the same, and it was the best to live with whomever I lived, since there was a person who saw the heart of the heart.
Looking back now, I feel that I was stupid and cute at that time, marrying a man and marrying a man to dress and eat, if I married a lazy man and gambler, it would be really difficult to live that day, but fortunately my vision is not bad, except for my mother-in-law Zhao who will pick her own thorns, the others have been very good over the years, the children are also well-behaved and filial, and the jade father is even more obedient to himself.
Liu suddenly came to his senses, why did he think about so many things? The face is hot, this is an old thing many years ago, and I will only take it out and think about it when I have occasional leisure.
I'm cooking today! What's going on? Turning his face and thinking about it, it must be that the child's father was playing tricks on him, Liu shook his head and drove away many things in his head.
Turn your face to see that Ruyi is burning on fire, the bright flames are jumping at the door of the pot, shining Ruyi's red face, Ruyi's eyebrows and eyes are very good-looking, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, quite a clever nose, cherry mouth, melon seed face, but still young, not growing, plus these years have not been well raised, the skin is a little dark, the body bones are too thin, pampered for a few years, I am afraid that it will become a beautiful girl in this ten miles and eight villages! Thinking about these, the Liu family feels proud, he and his father are really blessed, giving birth to such a beautiful, capable and considerate daughter.
I just don't know whose boy is lucky enough to be in Niel's eyes. Think about it when the time comes, when the daughter wants to go out, Liu's can't stop feeling sad, the thoughts of parents in the world are the same, for fear that their daughter will not have a good time away from herself, as the saying goes, the mother of the child is worried, it is true!
It's really strange today, a moment of joy and a moment of sorrow, how can there be so many emotions? Thinking of her mother-in-law, a large number of people waiting outside for dinner, Liu didn't dare to get distracted.
What no one knows is that Liu's cooking skills are even more first-class, and everyone who has eaten them praised, but they rarely did it later, and what they did every day after marrying into the Yu family for more than ten years, what they ate was arranged by their mother-in-law Zhao, and they only obeyed.
The amount of food, vegetables and oil for each meal is fixed, and there is no room for even a little return, and Liu is powerless even if he wants to do it.
After so many years, I just don't know if there is a hand!
Liu skillfully mixes the dough with warm water, rolls it out, then brushes it with oil and salt, then sprinkles some five-spice powder, rolls it up, divides it into a suitable size, rolls it out into a cake shape again, and puts it into the cage drawer one by one to steam.
Liu's series of actions are skillful and dexterous, flowing water, with a big belly but it does not affect at all, I am dazzled by Ruyi, I have to sigh in my heart, Jiang is still old and spicy, I used to think that cooking is already good, whether it is technique or skill, the color and fragrance of the work is not bad, now I think I am the frog at the bottom of the well! Self-satisfaction!
Compared with Liu's these, Ruyi felt that he was just stained with the light that had traveled back thousands of years ago.
The dough cakes that Liu cut casually turned out to be exactly the same size, as if they were cut by a machine, and Ruyi was very surprised.
"Mother, what are you doing here? It's so beautiful, it's about the same size! Ruyi smelled the fragrance of steamed buns in the pot, and couldn't help asking, say it's steamed steamed buns, it's not like, it's a pancake, it's not, Ruyi has never seen this in his last life, it's very curious!
The wisdom of the ancients may not be able to reach it in some aspects thousands of years later, and Ruyi was an agent in his previous life, and he was also deeply touched in these aspects.
"This is called cooking cakes, few people will make it, you haven't eaten it, this is your grandmother's grandmother's handicraft passed down, I also did it when I was a girl, we used to live together, your grandmother didn't like me to do this, so I didn't make it for you to eat, it's just right today, there are not so many bowls, two people and two, this cage drawer is just right, and it won't fall into people's mouths, saying that we don't give food."
Liu closed his eyes, not wanting Ruyi to see the reluctance in his heart, this white noodles were bought back by Ruyi, and his family was not willing to eat it, but there are so many people today, there is really no way, there is only a little black noodles left in the family, and there is not enough other food. can only make some white noodles mixed with black noodles, even so, to use so many noodles at one time, Liu is still distressed, this is Nier's hard-earned money, but she has to give it to people who point at her family's nose and scold her every day, and she is unwilling to think about it, but what can be done, who made her Ruyi's own mother!
