Chapter 17: The Big Meat Bun
"Mother, we'll help you."
Erbao's sound of jumping out of her mind reached Linglong's ears again.
"Why are you here, I'll be fine right now, you go to the yard to play." She didn't plan to let her children work, they were innocent and should enjoy their happy time.
"We want to help you." Erbao and Sanbao competed with Bu Linglong, no matter how much she persuaded them, she was unmoved, and in the end she could only agree, divided the area for them, and pulled out the land.
The three cubs nodded in unison, one person did not fight or grab one place, and squatted there to do a decent job.
After Bu Linglong assigned them, he ignored them, but sped up the movements of his hands.
A morning was spent in the vegetable garden.
After a busy morning, lunch, Bu Linglong was ready to make big meat buns.
A pound of meat with vegetables can make more than 20 buns.
She hadn't tasted the steamed buns in the town, and she didn't know how they tasted, but she knew that the big meat buns in the town cost two pennies each, and they were expensive to die, so it was much more cost-effective to make their own big meat buns to eat.
"Do you want me to help you?" Seeing that Bu Linglong was busy, Dabao took the initiative to ask.
Bu Linglong shook her head and said, "No, I'm busy, if I can't be busy, I'll call you again." ”
She didn't discourage Dabao's enthusiasm, he finally mustered up the courage, she should give him a chance.
Dabao listened to his words, nodded and agreed: "Okay, you are on call when you need help." ”
"Well, let's go play."
Bu Linglong first chopped the meat into a meat filling, added green onions, ginger and garlic, and then chopped the green vegetables, added other condiments and stirred together.
Then start kneading the dough and wrapping the buns.
More than 20 large meat buns were wrapped in a short time.
"Dabao, come and help me light the fire." Bu Linglong shouted into the courtyard.
Dabao sneaked into the kitchen from the yard and helped Bu Linglong light the fire.
Bu Linglong searched around the kitchen and didn't find a cage for steaming buns, "Erbao, ask grandma, do we have a cage for steaming buns at home?" ”
"Hey, let's go." Erbao replied in the yard and ran into the house, "Milk, my mother asked if there was a cage for steaming buns at home?" ”
The old lady looked up at Erbao, "Steamed buns?" ”
"That's right, my mother made big meat buns for us to eat at noon, milk, you haven't answered me yet?"
"We don't have it at home, but we have it at the sixth aunt's house next door." The old lady put down the clothes she was making and walked out.
"Linglong, there is no cage at home, I'll borrow it for you." The old lady said to the kitchen, and prepared to go out and borrow the cage.
"I'll just go, you can make clothes for them in the house, but you can't make clothes all the time, it's not good for your eyes." Bu Linglong untied the apron on her body and stuffed it to the old lady, stepped out of the door first, and walked towards the next door.
"Sixth aunt, sixth aunt, do you use the cage for steaming buns? No, can you lend it to me? "This kind of cage can be said to be available in every household, and the Su family originally had it, but it was later damaged by the original body.
The sixth aunt replied inside, "Yes, I don't need it at home, I'll take it." ”
As the sixth aunt spoke, she went to the kitchen to take out the cage and handed it to Bu Linglong.
"Thank you, Aunt Six." Bu Linglong sincerely thanked her.
"You're welcome, it's not a big deal, but it's just a steamer." The sixth aunt smiled at the corner of her mouth, feeling that Bu Linglong, a little lady, had really become different and polite.
They are next-door neighbors who more or less know something that others don't.
Although they don't see each other much, there are scolding voices from time to time next door, as well as the heart-rending cries of children.
She wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by her old man.
I haven't heard anything like this in the last few days, and it seems that she is really changing.
Bu Linglong borrowed a steamer and went back to clean it immediately, and then put it on the pot and began to steam the buns.
More than 20 steamed buns, which cannot be steamed in one basket, need to be steamed twice.
The bun skin is thin and filling, easy to cook, and the time of one cup of tea is enough.
Soon, the smell of steamed buns filled the entire kitchen.
"Mother, mother, it's so fragrant, are the buns steamed?" Erbao's nose was like a dog's nose, and the aroma had just come out, when he smelled it, and stood at the kitchen door with half of his head poked out and looked in.
Bu Linglong smiled and said: "Yes, it's steamed, it's still hot now, my mother will pack it up first, and then eat it after it cools for a while." ”
Erbao had no choice but to endure the gluttony in his stomach and nodded, "Okay mother, then wait." ”
Bu Linglong counted it, and steamed a total of twenty-six meat buns.
A pound of meat plus some vegetables can make twenty-six buns out of a lot, and it is a lot to sell them in the town, one or two yuan, a pound of fat and thin meat for fifteen yuan a pound, and you can only buy eight meat buns.
She was able to save half of the money by doing it herself.
Although she earns money, she can save what she can save, and she has to spend what she should spend, which is her principle of being a person and doing things.
borrowed the steamer of the sixth aunt's house, and she was going to send two meat buns to the sixth aunt's family to express her gratitude.
After all, it's a next-door neighbor, as the old saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and it is also appropriate to send two buns to win over the relationship.
"Dabao extinguishes the fire, Erbao goes to call grandma." Bu Linglong ordered the children to do things in an orderly manner.
"Okay, let's go."
Bu Linglong cleaned the steamer of the sixth aunt's house and rinsed it with clean water.
After washing the steamer, I took two big meat buns and went to Aunt Liu's house.
"Aunt Six, I used the steamer well, and now I'll return it to you. Here's my freshly steamed bun, and those two will give you a taste. ”
When the sixth aunt saw that Bu Linglong had come to return the steamer and brought two buns over, she immediately politely excused herself: "Oh, Hansong daughter-in-law, didn't you just borrow a steamer, you just returned it, why did you send the buns?" ”
Steamed buns made of white flour, old gold is expensive.
There are two pennies for a meat bun in the town, and Hansong's daughter-in-law is two when she gives it, so it's not four pennies.
It's enough for the rednecks.
Bu Linglong said with a smile: "Aunt Six, they are all sent to you, you can keep it, try my craftsmanship." I still have it at home, and they are still waiting for me, so I won't stay, I'll go back first. ”
Seeing her like this, the sixth aunt also missed eating something good, so she didn't shirk and took the meat buns sent by Bu Linglong.
Bu Linglong saw her take the bun and went back.
Looking at the back of Bu Linglong leaving, Aunt Six sighed with emotion, "Hansong's daughter-in-law looks like a different person." ”
After the sixth aunt finished speaking, she took a big bun and sent it to her daughter-in-law who was in confinement.
A woman's confinement is the time when she needs tonic.
If you don't eat well and don't care well, it will have a great impact on the future.
If she can't eat the milk that her children don't drink, her daughter-in-law doesn't eat it, and her eldest grandson has to eat it too.
The conditions at home are not good, but if there is something good, she will try her best to send it to her daughter-in-law's house.
"Come on, Ge'er, eat a big hot meat bun." The sixth aunt smiled and handed a large meat bun to her daughter-in-law Sun Ge'er.
Sun Ge'er saw the big meat bun in her mother-in-law's hand and asked in surprise, "Mother, where did you get this big meat bun?" ”
The sixth aunt said with a smile: "Han Song's daughter-in-law sent it, she borrowed our steamer steamed buns, and gave two big meat buns when she came back. ”
Sun Ge'er nodded and said with emotion: "It seems that Hansong's daughter-in-law is not so bad, probably because she hasn't adapted yet, so she made some fuss before, but now that she has adapted, it's fine." ”
"Maybe it's exactly what you say." The sixth aunt said approvingly: "I see that people have really changed, if it goes on like this, I can get along more and deal with more." ”
"Don't look at it, hurry up and taste it, what do you think it tastes like?" The sixth aunt urged Sun Ge'er.
Sun Ge'er didn't eat alone, she broke the meat bun in two, half for herself, and handed the other half to her mother-in-law, "Mother, half of us, you can also taste it." ”
"Mother doesn't eat, you eat, you have to feed the pillar, you have to eat something good." The sixth aunt pushed back half of the meat bun handed over by her daughter-in-law and did not answer.
Sun Ge'er tasted a big steamed bun made by Bu Linglong, the skin of the bun was very thin, the soup inside was rich, and the taste of the meat filling was even more delicious, which was even more delicious than the steamed bun she had eaten before.
She thought that the steamed buns she had eaten before were already extremely delicious, but she didn't expect that the craftsmanship of her neighbor Hansong's daughter-in-law was even more unique.
"Mother, it's delicious, it's even better than the big meat bun in the town."
"Really? I really didn't expect that such a lazy person could be so good at cooking? Aunt Six felt a little incredulous.
It's no wonder that she thinks so, it's that she has heard a lot, and she feels that the other party is not the kind of person who can cook.
"Really, mother, you can taste it."
The sixth aunt was still reluctant to eat, "Forget it, the old woman won't eat it." There is also one for the children to eat. ”
"Mother, it's nothing if you taste it, taste the taste, it's really good." Brother Sun persuaded again.
The sixth aunt smelled the fragrance of the buns, coupled with the persuasion of her daughter-in-law, and she couldn't help but taste it.
"Oh, don't say it, it's really good, Hansong's daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is really amazing, I'm at this age, I've been a talent all my life, and I can't make such delicious meat buns." The sixth aunt sighed, and at the same time her impression of Bu Linglong was a little better.
When Bu Linglong returned home, she saw that everyone was waiting for her.
The meat bun was a little cold, so Bu Linglong beckoned the children and the old lady to eat, and at the same time took one to eat.
"You guys slow down, no one is robbing you, don't choke." Bu Linglong saw that the three cubs ate so fast and so violently, and she was really worried that she would choke me all of a sudden, so she could only remind me loudly.
"Mother, no, the buns you made are so delicious." Erbao swallowed a mouthful of buns, took another bite and said vaguely.
"From now on, I will make food for you every day." Bu Linglong said with a smile, they like to eat, so she will make it for them.
"Okay, mother has worked hard." Although Erbao is a foodie, his mouth is also sweet, and he can coax people.
"It's not hard." Bu Linglong rubbed Erbao's head.
Seeing this, Sanbao stretched his head under Bu Linglong's palm and shook his little head.
Bu Linglong snorted and laughed, feeling that Sanbao is sometimes very cute, and especially likes to compete with Erbao for favor.
Dabao also wanted to try the feeling of being touched by Bu Linglong, but he felt that he was a big child, and he couldn't be as faceless and skinless as his younger brother, so he could only look at them enviously, bow his head and eat steamed buns silently.
Although Dabao's eyes flashed, he was still captured by Bu Linglong.
She smiled and reached out to rub his head, clearly feeling the little one's head stiffen.
Dabao didn't expect Bu Linglong to rub his head, and his eyes were moist for a while, and he held back his tears to prevent it from falling.
"Dabao is also a good boy, is it delicious?" For Dabao, Bu Linglong is a little more patient, and the little guy is too sensitive.
Dabao didn't say anything, he was afraid that he would reveal his emotions as soon as he spoke, so he could only nod his head to indicate that it was delicious.
"If you like it, I'll make you more delicious food in the future." Bu Linglong stopped, withdrew his hand, and ate the bun quietly.
You don't have to cook more dinner with this steamed bun, you can just heat the steamed bun and solve it.
With the money in his hand, during this period of time, Bu Linglong stayed at home, serving the vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard, while preparing food for the children and conditioning their bodies.
After more than half a month of hard work, there is still a harvest, and the faces of the three cubs have grown some small flesh, and their bodies have become a lot stronger.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden that have been cleaned by the ability have also risen a lot, and some of the vegetables are already ready to eat, but I don't know how they taste.
Today, she picked two cucumbers and two eggplants, the cucumbers are used for cold dressing, and the eggplants are used to make eggplants with meat foam, and taste the difference from ordinary ones.
