Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 12 Steamed Bun Conference 1
The next morning, Fuwang was inexplicably lively.
As soon as the day dawned, Li Tiandian went door-to-door to notify everyone to gather at the inner gate.
When Wu Yong's family arrived, the inner door was already crowded, and the big guys gathered together in a small circle of families to find acquaintances to inquire about the situation.
"Isn't it a few days to wait for the spring festival? What is this for? ”
"Maybe something big happened to the imperial court, two years ago the new monarch ascended the throne, didn't we also assemble."
"No, I didn't call all the women and children at that gathering two years ago."
……
Wu Yong looked at the noisy crowd, which was quite a bit of a rural gathering in later generations.
At this time, Zhu Lidian walked to a high platform, coughed lightly, and said: "Everyone be quiet first, I have summoned you here today because there are two major events related to the rise and fall of our Fuwangli, inform the big guys." ”
Seeing that everyone gradually quieted down, I only heard him continue to say unhurriedly: "The first thing is Wu Yong in the northwest corner, everyone must know it, he had a cold disease when he was two years old, and he has been in a mess, everyone thinks that he has a bad brain, and I don't want Wu Yong to have an adventure recently and return to normal." ”
As soon as the words fell, the crowd began to talk again.
"Ah, I heard that Wu Yong had a cold illness a few days ago, but he was not cured and died, and he plans to give more mourning money in a few days for funeral."
"I also heard that it is said that Wu Yong's grandmother is also ill, and I am afraid that she will not live long, and his grandfather's brothers have come to share the family property."
"How can this be reasonable, I hate to take people's property the most in my life, if I meet it, I must let them know the power of my fist."
……
Wu Yong looked at the person who was going to beat him, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, only to see that the person was not a few years older than him, and his body was thin, probably because he was young and hot-blooded and said cruel things.
After a while, the voices in the crowd were quieter, Zhu Lidian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "This second thing is also related to Wu Yong, yesterday when I went to visit his house with Li Tiandian, I found that their family had two kinds of food that they had never seen.
These two kinds of food are ordinary people in the realm of Taixu must eat every day, one is called rice noodles, the other is called to relieve worries, today to gather everyone, that is, Wu Yong will make the two ways of eating public, let us look back at the people can also eat this food every day. ”
As soon as he blurted out the words, it was no surprise that there was a stir in the crowded venue.
"Is what Zhu Lidian said true? Is it easy to eat too much? ”
"Does the Void Realm really exist? What are the women wearing inside? Do they want to eat too? ”
"My house is not far from Wu Yong's house, yesterday I smelled a very fragrant fragrance, and told my grandmother that she still didn't believe it."
"My family is next door to Zhuo Tao's house, and I smelled the fragrance yesterday, and my sister yelled to eat, and was beaten by my father."
"What are you waiting for, hurry up and call Wu Yong out..."
The surroundings were suddenly quiet, and everyone's eyes looked at Wu Yong.
Wu Yong's dark eyes glanced around, met those hopeful eyes, and said: "Uncles, brothers and aunts, I have indeed had some adventures recently, but please rest assured, as long as it is my Wu Yonghui, I will never hide it." ”
The crowd immediately cheered, "Okay, it is worthy of being the man in my refuge, if there is anything sent by Wu Yong's family in the future, or where I can be used, I will never refuse." ”
Wu Yong walked out, and the crowd automatically split their way.
Walking through the crowd, Wu Yong came to the high platform, beside the grinding plate prepared in advance, and said loudly: "Everyone, this rice noodles and the relief bun are made of wheat flour, I will first tell you about the grinding noodles, this wheat, the first grinding flour is the best, and the whitest the relief bun made, the further back the grinding, the less the noodles appear, the more inferior the flour, and the color of the relief bun is closer to the wheat color." ”
After saying this, Wu Yong saw that two bags of wheat had already been prepared next to the grinding plate, so he said to everyone in the audience: "Two people come up to help push the grinding and sieve noodles." ”
Everyone recommended themselves one after another, Wu Yong came out with a bucket of wheat, ordered the young man who was going to beat someone just now to sift the noodles, and ordered a sturdy young man to grind.
In order to let everyone clearly feel the importance of flour, Wu Yong and Zhu Lidian asked for four large clay pots, and each time the milled flour was screened and put into pots.
After the first time the flour was sifted out, Wu Yong ordered two little women who didn't look too old to come over and make noodles, and constantly guided the movements of the two during the period.
"The most important thing is to add water, water should be added to it little by little, and in the process of adding water, knead it with the three fingertips in the middle, so that the dough can be evenly proportioned."
"The amount of water you add depends on the feel of your hand, and it can't be too dry or too wet. If it's too dry, you can't knead it, and if it's too wet, you need to add more flour to keep it from sticking to your hands. ”
After the two little women kneaded the dough into a dough, Wu Yong hurriedly stopped and explained: "After the dough is formed, don't worry, wait for a quarter of an hour or so, wake up, and then continue to mix the dough." ”
At this time, the second noodle was polished, and the two little women began to familiarize themselves with the noodles without Wu Yong's instructions.
Wu Yong just saved some tongue, and saw a low case not far away, with two large iron pots on the two stoves, and when he was thinking about how to steam the buns, he saw Zhuo Wenxuan's family pushing a cart to the stove.
After Zhuo Wenxuan greeted Zhu Lidian and Li Tiandian, he took out a large bamboo strip from the car, and carried a large clay pot with Zhu Lidian.
Zhuo Tao took down a round board and a rolling pin, and Wu Yong recognized at a glance that they were the two he made yesterday.
Then the three uncles and daughters of the Li family and the mother and son of the eldest maid Chen took all kinds of vegetables from the car respectively.
After unloading the goods, Zhuo Wenxuan instructed Zhuo Tao and Li Miao to push the cart home, and then went to the high platform with Zhu Lidian and Li Tiandian to watch Wu Yong teach how to eat.
The Li family led the women of the Zhuo family to meet with the grandmother of the Wu family, and after a salute, a group of young girls smiled and pointed at Wu Yong on the stage.
Wu Yong didn't have the heart to take care of them, because all the flour in the first bucket had been screened, Wu Yong instructed the two young men who helped to continue grinding the noodles, and at the same time ordered two older women to take over the dough work of the first two little women, and at the same time arched his hand and said: "Bother the two uncles to take out the first pot of noodles, put them on the board, and continue to mix the noodles." ”
The two women smiled heartily and waved their hands to signal that he didn't need to be polite, and one of the women smiled with a smile on their eyebrows: "Haha, the nephews of the Wu family don't need to care about these red tapes. ”
Wu Yonglian said that he didn't dare, which caused everyone below to laugh again.
After everyone laughed, Wu Yong explained to everyone: "This second time to mix noodles, you should pay attention to the dough at this time is a little wet and will get wet, so you need to sprinkle some dry flour on the board in advance to prevent it from sticking to the board, and in the process of kneading the dough, you must continue to sprinkle some dry flour on the dough. ”
