Zhang Xiaoxue's aunt is not the kind of person who is greedy for small and cheap. I felt that I would not be happy to ask for so much food from their family. After all, the conditions of the second family are not good. The eldest aunt didn't know that Xiaoxue's family was not short of food.

"Sister-in-law, there is a lot of food at home, so you don't need to take food here. You don't know, ever since Cher got her head hurt. Xue'er, I recognized a master, and Xue'er's master sent a lot of food, which was really enough to eat. The friendship between our two families, you don't have to see too much. You've helped our family a lot in the past. Mother Zhang said with a smile, for Xue'er to give the pancakes to the uncle's mother's house, Mother Zhang didn't feel heartache at all, Zhang's father and Mother Zhang are very kind, they are all people who know how to repay their kindness. In the past, the family had no food, and the sister-in-law often took some food to help them, and her family was taken care of by the old family. So this little thing for the old family is nothing at all.

Everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and Zhang Xiaoxue's grandmother came. "Grandma, you're here, sit down for a while, we're going to go to my uncle's house to grind grain so that we can make pancakes later." You can wait at home. After Zhang Xiaoxue finished speaking, she went to the house and took out a basket of strawberries and a basket of cherries. Put it on the table in the living room and beckon grandma and everyone to eat fruit.

The two boys saw fresh strawberries and watery cherries. I can't wait to eat it in my mouth, and while eating, I say it's delicious. The cherries produced by the farm are all round and smooth, like countless sparkling red agate. Zhang Xiaoxue is also taking it out for the first time, and she hasn't tasted it yet. Pick up a cherry and put it in your mouth, the wonderful taste instantly conquered Zhang Xiaoxue, this cherry is really delicious. It's really hard to stop. Seeing such an attractive fruit, of course, everyone couldn't help but step forward to eat it. They praised the deliciousness of this fruit. Regarding the origin of the fruit, Zhang Xiaoxue of course said that it was given by the master.

Bin'er and Huzi didn't stop talking until they had enough to eat. Huzi was really embarrassed to eat good things at Zhang Xiaoxue's house again, and then look at the slingshot in his hand, which he ate and held. But those two red fruits are really so tempting that I can't stop talking. It wasn't until I finished eating that I remembered that I could eat so much as a guest. will be laughed at, and when I think of this, my face can't help but turn red.

Because the fruit is very delicious, everyone eats a lot, two baskets, and eats it quickly. Zhang Xiaoxue put the empty basket aside, and went into her house again, pretending to take out two baskets of fruit from the farm. Put the fruit back on the table. Everyone actually ate a lot, and they didn't eat it. Wash your hands and get ready to get to work.

The two boys also ate the fruit, and now they want to go out to play, and they can't wait to run out to play after saying hello.

In the end, leaving her grandmother at home to guard the door, Zhang Xiaoxue and the three of them took the soaked food and went to the uncle's house. Fortunately, the eldest aunt came with her this time, otherwise Zhang Xiaoxue and her mother would not have been able to take so many things.

Both the basin and the bucket are very heavy. Mother Zhang and the eldest aunt didn't let Xiaoxue take it. Two people, one of them carried a basin in one hand, and then the bucket was placed in the middle and carried it. Zhang Xiaoxue had two empty hands, thought for a while, went into the house, and took two baskets of two kinds of fruits. I'm going to take the uncle's mother's house, so that the uncle and a few cousins can also taste it. The eldest aunt felt that these two fruits must be very expensive. I don't want to feel sorry for it, Zhang Xiaoxue explained again and again that there are many more at home. Auntie, I reluctantly accepted it.

When I went to the eldest uncle's house, the small water mill had been cleaned up when Zhang's mother came just now, and she could just start grinding the grain.

The soybeans in the bucket are the least, so start grinding the soybeans first, and slowly put a small amount of soybeans when grinding the soybeans. Add a little water so that the ground soybeans will be finer, and the pancakes will taste better. The ground soybean paste is scooped into the pot with a spoon, and the pot is of course provided by the uncle's mother's family.

I didn't feel tired at first, but my arms became very sore after a long time. It's tiring. The three of them took turns grinding and grinding, and it took half a morning to finish pushing all the three kinds of soaked grain. I looked at my watch, and it was half past nine.

Because the soaked grain still needs to be ground with some water, when the grinding is finished, one pot of grain will become two pots of grain paste. It took six pots to fill them all.

It took the three of them two trips to bring the ground grain paste to the house.

When the pancakes were fried in the morning, Zhang Xiaoxue had already set them up. Once the firewood is ready, you can make a fire. I found some corn stalks and wheat straw for firewood. It takes two people to make a fire and make pancakes. That way you don't have to scramble. Zhang Xiaoxue arranged for Zhang's mother to be responsible for lighting the fire.

Before making the pancakes, Zhang Xiaoxue first wiped the oil on the top of the pancakes with a cloth dipped in oil that had been prepared long ago, which not only removed the debris on the pancakes, but also made it easy for the cooked pancakes to separate from the pancakes.

"Mother, you light the fire now, and heat the tweezers first. Zhang Xiaoxue commanded. Corn stalks and wheat stalks are very flammable, and a little bit of it catches fire. Zhang's mother didn't have much effort, and quickly heated the pot. When the pan is hot, Zhang Xiaoxue scoops a spoonful of corn paste with a spoon and puts it in the middle of the pan, and spreads it along the pan with a flat piece of wood that has been prepared long ago, that is, a rake. Since the pan is hot, the pancake batter is quickly solidified wherever it goes, and the non-solidified is carried forward by the rake, repeating the process until the whole pan is full. The length of the rake is exactly equal to the radius of the pan, so the rake goes around the field and the pancake is made.

In order to make the pancakes of better quality, a small flat wooden board is used before the upper layer of pancake batter is fully set and cooked, which is called a scraper in the countryside. Scrape on top to make it flat and evenly thick. Because the pancakes are very thin and easy to cook, the process should be very fast, that is, twenty or thirty seconds, otherwise they will burn. When ripe, you need to use a shovel to grab and remove the spread pancakes along the edge of the pan in time. Although Zhang Xiaoxue is also making this kind of pancake for the first time. Because Zhang's mother was burning the fire next to her, she was not in a hurry at all. This first pancake was made very successfully, it was not broken at all, and it was very completely removed.

The back one is also very smooth, and occasionally there is a little slag on the tweezer, so wipe it with an oily cloth. The process of making Zhang Mu and the eldest aunt both understood, and after Zhang Xiaoxue spread out three or four pancakes, the eldest aunt was eager to try it next to her.

"Xue'er, you go to the side, let me spread a pancake and take a look, I don't think it's too difficult. If I don't do it right, you can teach me then. The eldest aunt felt that she should know, so she took the initiative to ask for help.
