Chapter 6 Grandma Lin's Unique Job

Compared with her grandmother, Lin Ma, who grew up in the city since she was a child, was relatively wealthy when she was a child, and independently took on a large family meal when she grew up, the level of stir-fry is much higher, and the color, flavor and flavor are readily available. Lin Xiaoxiao's later cooking skills came from Lin Ma, and she has a greater tendency to be green and blue, plus she likes to study some foreign dishes, and the dishes she makes are not even comparable to Lin Ma's later.

Grandma Lin has another strong point - pasta.

I always hear people say that southerners eat more rice, and northerners eat more noodles. But there is also a big difference between this side and the surface.

For example, in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and even Inner Mongolia, all kinds of "boiled" noodles are used as the staple food, and most of them are made of various noodles, shaved noodles, ramen, rolling noodles, shaving tips, etc., and the noodles used are generally "dead noodles". That is, there is no need to make noodles, and the noodles are directly put into the pot or steamed or boiled. Coupled with the ever-changing "marinade", when adjusted to the same ever-changing noodles, each kind of noodles can be eaten in many different variations.

Lin Xiaoxiao once shared a room with a friend in Shanxi for a while, and she basically learned the noodles in Shanxi, except for those that required some special tools and special materials.

Grandma Lin is different, her hometown is in Hebei, where people are good at steaming.

After the noodles are made, they are made into steamed buns, steamed buns, and other foods that make noodles.

Don't think that there are only these two kinds of noodles, plus different colors of noodles, you can make different kinds of pasta, if you carry out different plasticity before steaming, you can make all kinds of pasta that makes you drool and get it in your hand but are not willing to eat!

This is a technique that she couldn't learn back in her previous life! Not to mention learning, she often fails even to ferment with yeast, in this life, she has to learn from her grandmother, this craft must not be given to others!

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Grandma Lin made noodles early in the morning, soaked red dates, QIU (read three times) made the bean paste, took out brown sugar, and then prepared food coloring, five-spice powder, and sesame paste.

On the round table are panels, rolling pins, oil, scissors, lye, and other things.

After checking the large basin next to the stove a few times, Grandma Lin finally confirmed that the noodles were ready!

Pour some alkaline water, knead it, then take the dough under your nose and smell it, then put some ...... Adjust until there is no sourness.

After the preparation process was completed, Grandma Lin began to work!

Take the big bowl soaked with jujube to your side first, and then roll the noodles into a round flatbread, one by one along the outermost layer to the inside, Lin Xiaoxiao's little head also nodded with Grandma Lin's movements.

Soon, the jujube yard at the bottom was finished! Grandma Lin rolled out a smaller one and stacked it on top of the layer just now, and stacked another layer of dates.

Layer after layer, after a while, Grandma Lin made this five-layer jujube cake.

Lin Xiaoxiao sweated a little in her heart, among the people she knew, Grandma Lin dared to do this, and later when Grandma Lin was unable to move and lay in bed every day, Mother Lin did not dare to steam such a big jujube cake when preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, first, the largest steamer in the house was broken, and second, she was afraid that it would not be steamed.

The remaining jujubes are no longer made into such a big jujube cake, half of the jujube is stacked on a round cake, and then the other half of the noodles is folded over, and then the jujube is stacked again in the three-quarters position, and then folded, and finally another jujube is put on the top of the finished jujube cake, and a small jujube cake is ready!

After the jujube cake was made, it was immediately put into a large pot and began to steam, and after waiting for about 40 minutes, the first pot of noodles was baked!

Smelling the sweet smell of jujubes, Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously smashed his mouth and smacked his mouth: It's a pity, I can't eat it......

The stove was burning, and pots and pots of pasta were baked, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's gluttony, Grandma Lin smiled and smeared a little brown sugar into her mouth to relieve her hunger.

Blinking the taste in her mouth, Lin Xiaoxiao watched her grandmother make a sugar triangle with regret - she loves to eat sugar triangle more than jujube cake!!

A round piece of noodles, put brown sugar filling in the middle, then pull up the three sides and pinch tightly, and one after another cute sugar triangles are formed.

Subsequently, the brown sugar was slowly used, and the rest should be made into steamed buns, right?

Watching Grandma Lin pick up a ball of noodles and knead them into an oblong shape, Lin Xiaoxiao, who suddenly recalled the memory of her childhood, opened her eyes again.

Really! Grandma Lin picked up the scissors, and with two "clicks", she cut out two rabbit ears!

It's a white rabbit!! I haven't seen a white rabbit in nearly 20 years!!

Grandma Lin separated the scissors, pressed out a three-petal mouth in the mouth part, and scratched out the limbs, and then put the little white rabbit on the top of the cage drawer.

One after another cute little white rabbits were presented in Grandma Lin's hands, Lin Xiaoxiao was so excited that she almost burst into tears, although her mother often made pasta later, but who thought that she would do this if she had nothing to do? Even Grandma Lin will only make patterns for steamed buns so hard during the New Year's holidays.

After making a layer of white rabbits, Grandma Lin put the oil bowl in front of her, a small ball of noodles, flattened and rolled out, smeared with some oil, and then picked up another ball of noodles, kneaded it twice and wrapped it into the inside of the previous dough, and then kneaded and kneaded and kneaded......

Noodles and peaches?

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the peaches that were pointed at the top and round at the bottom, why did they have to wrap a layer? Why use oil?

But now, she can't ask her own questions at all, so she has to put her doubts in her heart and wait for Grandma Lin's next action.

After pressing a mark on the finished noodles and peaches with scissors, they went to the side first, and then Grandma Lin took out another ball of green noodles from another small basin.

Could it be that grandma wants to make peach leaves?

Sure enough, a ball of noodles was made into two leaves, and the finished peach was put on top of the leaves, and it was ready to be steamed in the pot.

The production of Shou Tao is more laborious than that of the little white rabbit, but fortunately, Grandma Lin is used to making pasta at a glance, one after another, and it doesn't take long for the upper layer to be filled.

After making a bunch of spiced and sesame flavored flower rolls, the rest of the noodles were not so troublesome. Grandma Lin kneaded them all into small and cute steamed buns one after another - don't look at the small and cute now, they will gain weight at least twice when steamed in the pot!

After the pot of longevity peach and white rabbit came out of the pot, Lin Xiaoxiao understood Grandma Lin's intentions.

She took out the shou peach one by one, and then began to tear the skin!

That's right, it's to tear off the outer layer of skin.

The shou peach that had been torn off its skin was fluffy on the top, and Grandma Lin sprinkled some red pigment powder on it, plus the green leaves below...... Those peaches are so real!!

For as long as she can remember, Lin Xiaoxiao has never seen Grandma Lin make this kind of "hairy peach", it must be because this kind of peach is very laborious and a little wasteful (don't use the torn dough, of course it's wasteful.) So I didn't do it again, but until now, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know that grandma had such a unique skill.

Looking at Grandma Lin blankly with admiration, Grandma Lin, who was tearing the skin of the "peach", saw it as soon as she raised her eyes, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Do you want to play too? ”

opened his little hand and waved at "Mao Tao" and "White Rabbit", screaming in alien words, which amused Grandma Lin.

"It's hot now, and I'll play with it when it's cold!"

Yes, the co-author thought she was using the steamed bun as a toy......

After all the rabbits had eyes, the peaches grew hair and dyed red, and the steamed buns were all lit with red dots, Grandma Lin really took a cool white rabbit and a hairy peach for Lin Xiaoxiao to play.

Holding those two soft big steamed buns, Lin Xiaoxiao fell into a sweet sleep - when I grow up, I must learn to ......

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the second uncle went home.

According to local customs, every Chinese New Year, even if the children have been separated, they must take some New Year's things home before the New Year, as a supplement to the parents' New Year's Festival.

The second uncle took a bag of hairtail fish and five yuan...... That's right, it's just a pack of hairtail, or the kind that is not too thick, at most eight, and the five yuan.

The five yuan in that array was also valuable, but as a son, it was really a little too much to take such a small thing......

So, the second uncle sat with Dad Lin, who didn't go to work in the afternoon, and chatted and discussed.

"We handed over the house to the school a year ago, and the school will only divide the house after the New Year, and the current conditions are not very good......

Listening to the second uncle's words, Lin Xiaoxiao's little face twisted to the other side, grabbing the wave drum that her father bought for her and playing with it, and couldn't help but sneer.

After the Lin family implemented the policy, they returned two houses above, and at that time, as the second child and stayed in N City and did not go to the countryside, he and Lin's father decided to have one set for one person - after all, there are only two sets, and my aunt has no right to distribute them as a daughter.

At that time, the two brothers negotiated: whoever takes care of their mother will live in the big one and live with their mother. The second child was reluctant at the time, so he and the second aunt chose the small one.

As teachers, these two people's brains turned faster and more shrewd than ordinary people, and the school had a rule at that time, if anyone handed over their own house, the school would allocate it according to the family's conditions.

And their school happened to be preparing to build a staff dormitory somewhere, so the two of them exchanged the house left by the old man for a two-bedroom and one-living room.

This is nothing, people have their own calculations, and people can change houses to prove that they have good jobs and skills.

But the problem is that after Grandma Lin died, before the old man died, he promised to make a will several times: the house before his death belonged to Father Lin. But every time the second child went to live at home, and then went home, Grandma Lin changed her mind and resolutely refused to make a will. As a result, until Grandma Lin died, this will was not made.

So, when it comes to demolition, trouble comes.
