Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 107 Ma and Twist

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and Wu Yong has begun to get used to the days without He Lian by his side, this is not because he is unkind, but He Lian does not know what stimulation she has received, and insists on staying in her hometown in Shanju, no matter who persuades her, she can't change her mind.

In the past few days, Wu Yong has been worried about her, and she can't sleep and eat, and she can't tell what it's like.

However, to his relief, when He came in to get the spice packets yesterday, Wu Yong learned from him that He Lian began to teach the villagers in Shanju to make noodles, so she was quite respected and loved there.

And several relatives on He Lian's side are now resisted by all the villagers, and they don't even dare to go out of the house on weekdays, so naturally they won't trouble He Lian again.

In addition, He Jin also assigned He eldest sister to accompany He Lian, and the two girls ate and lived together, which can be regarded as taking care of them.

Wu Yong was relieved to know He Lian's recent situation, and at the same time, in order to thank He Jin for taking care of He Lian, he gave him an extra bag of spices.

After He Jin left with the spice bag with great gratitude, Wu Yong also told his mother Guo about He Lian's situation, so that she should not worry too much.

Who knew that Guo Shi glared at him, "If you don't go to see her in Shanju in the future, she will live well." ”

Wu Yong was a little confused about this, but for the sake of his mother's face, he didn't dare to say anything.

In fact, there has been nothing to do for the past two days, Wu Yong simply calmed down in Zhuo Wenxuan's study and studied the Five Classics. He read these verses over and over again, and every sentence, every sentence, every word, benefited him immensely.

In this regard, Zhuo Wenxuan agrees very much, he is extremely optimistic about Wu Yong's future, and hopes that he can learn more Confucian classics.

But it was only two days of leisure, and last night, Zhu Lidian suddenly came to the door with a father and son.

Asked the reason, Zhu Lidian couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's not a secret, I brought them here today to beg the virtuous nephew to think of a way for them." ”

Then Zhu Lidian explained the situation of the other party, during which the two fathers and sons looked at a loss. It was the old lady who said, "They are all villagers, and help is due." ”

Only then did the two relax and cooperate with Zhu Lidian to explain the ins and outs of the incident.

After Wu Yong heard this, he reacted, it turned out that Zhu Lidian came here for the marriage of the young man in front of him.

The young man's name is Zhu Wang, and he set a family business last year, and the two families originally said that they would have a wedding in February this year, but a few days ago, the woman suddenly came to inform him that if the dowry was not satisfactory, the family business might be canceled.

For this matter, the family was depressed, and even they didn't know what to do, so they could only find Zhu Lidian in the end.

If it had been placed in the past, Zhu Lidian would have negotiated with them with the head of the Zhu family, but now that there is Wu Yong in Fuwang, Zhu Lidian immediately thought of asking Wu Yong for help.

Wu Yong was a little confused, he didn't know anything about the dowry. However, he had some impressions of Zhu Wang, in the past, when the Wu family harvested, their father and son volunteered to help a lot. After so many years, the Wu family owes their family a lot of favors.

Wu Yong really wanted to help, but he didn't know how to help! For a while, I had no clue at all.

At this time, Zhu Lidian seemed to understand what he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Actually, the dowry has been prepared a long time ago, but the woman suddenly came to it, and Zhu Wang's family didn't know the other party's intentions, so I wanted to ask you, what are the most common things for the people in Taixu to get married?" Can you make it? ”

"Of course it's money," this is something you don't have to think about, but Wu Yong didn't say it. At this time, the other party's question definitely did not mean money.

Wu Yong thought about it carefully, when he was a child, when he got married in the countryside, in addition to the gift money, the dowry was three golds, and in addition to these, there were some ingredients.

These ingredients are prepared for the woman's family to entertain their relatives and friends, and on the other hand, the value of the ingredients also reflects the man's financial strength.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong suddenly thought of one thing, that is, hemp dumplings, this thing was a necessary thing for rural people to get married when he was a child in later generations.

At that time, there was not much oil and water that families could eat, and this hemp dumpling became a very luxurious food. Only during the Chinese New Year, or when there is a happy event at a relative's house, can you taste some.

And this hemp steamed bun can be described as a versatile food, put some when cooking noodles, put some when making soup, put some when stir-frying, and even put some when steaming steamed buns.

So Wu Yong told everyone what he thought, and everyone else looked at him blankly.

However, although everyone didn't know what this sesame steamed bun was, they immediately became confident when they heard that sesame seeds and salt were to be used and fried in oil.

In the end, Zhu Lidian decided: "Then make some tomorrow to see the effect, if everyone agrees, use this hemp steamed bun, and prepare some tofu and braised pork, and then send it over as a dowry gift." ”

Of course, Wu Yong had no opinion, so everyone agreed to come to Wu's house tomorrow to see how to make this hemp dumpling.

So early this morning, Zhu Wang's family sent ground flour and rapeseed oil to Wu's house. It was followed by a group of folks waiting to see the excitement.

When the women heard that Wu Yong was going to make a new Taixu to eat, they immediately put aside the work in their hands and ran to Wu's house.

So the Wu family was crowded with villagers who came to watch the production process of hemp dumplings, and everyone looked at Wu Yong curiously, waiting for him to make a new Taixu food.

In fact, this fried hemp dumpling is an extremely tiring job, since there is so much free labor, of course Wu Yong can't let his mother Guo do it anymore.

Next, Wu Yong talked endlessly, and he kept demonstrating to everyone as he spoke.

"Listen to me, the ratio of noodles to salt must be appropriate, too much salt, the dough can't be torn, and if there is too much flour, it will taste tasteless."

"First cut the dough into long strips, don't cut it, then knead it into thin strips with your hands, apply more oil, and then knead it into thin strips, taking care not to rub it too finely and don't break the noodles. But it's okay to rub it off, just plug it on. ”

"When the wire rod is used, be sure to apply oil to each layer to prevent the strip from sticking together when it is pulled for a while. Don't put less in order to save oil, if it sticks together, this pot noodles will be white"

"Don't worry, you have to wake up for at least two hours, you can go home first if you have something to do, and come back in the afternoon."

Everyone listened attentively and watched carefully, for fear of missing any of Wu Yong's words and actions.

In fact, for Wu Yong, this hemp steamed bun is a kind of memory, just like steamed buns and pork, the reason why he teaches everyone for free is to find the memory of life in later generations, otherwise he is a person in later generations in such an era, there is no familiar things, it is easy for him to lose himself.

Only when these familiar things often appear in front of him can he feel that although he is from the afterlife, he is not alone. At the same time, a sense of pride will rise in my heart, and the world will change because of me.

When it was time to fry the hemp dumplings in the afternoon, the back of the Wu family house was crowded with people, not only many women came to learn from the experience, but also some men came to watch the excitement, and they also wanted to know what this food as a dowry looked like.

Zhu Lidian even took Zhu Wang's father and son nervously to watch Wu Yong command everything, this is related to the hope of the family, and there is no room for sloppiness.

"Don't wrap too many lines, just enough to fill the palm, pull a few more times, be sure to pull slowly, don't use brute force."

"Sprinkle sesame seeds after tearing it up, don't sprinkle too much, if you have more, it doesn't matter, just shake it on the basin, and you can use it again in the next batch."

"The oil temperature doesn't have to be too high, first use a dough to see the oil temperature, and when you get out of the pot, you must pull it slowly to let all the lines explode, and then cross and stack them together, then you can remove the iron brace and let the oil temperature fry it."

Wu Yong spoke very seriously, demonstrated it to everyone again, and finally gave it to two skillful women to operate.

It didn't take long for the first pot of steamed dumplings to be fried, and Wu Yong instructed the woman with the iron brace to take the steamed dumplings out of the pot and set them aside to control the oil.

After a while, after it cooled, Wu Yong covered the bun with a bun, brought the hemp steamed bun to Zhu Lidian, and asked him to take the lead in tasting it.

Zhu Lidian pinched off one and chewed it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction: "This thing is really delicious in the world, and it can be the best choice in the dowry." ”

After Zhu Wang's father and son tasted it, they were also overjoyed. This time they are really relieved, if the woman doesn't even look down on this hemp dumpling, it can only mean that the other party is clearly embarrassing them, and it doesn't matter if the marriage is not married.

After Wu Yong gave all the handfuls of hemp dumplings in his hand to the villagers, everyone who had eaten them suddenly began to talk about it.

"This hemp dumpling is good, when you make noodles in the future, grab a handful and put it inside, the oil is gone, it is definitely delicious."

"When making soup, you can also put it, I feel that with this hemp dumpling, I won't need oil to cook in the future!"

"I feel that you can also put it when you make steamed buns, sometimes there is too much water in this steamed bun filling, and when it is steamed, it will be rotten, and you can put in this hemp dumpling to absorb the excess water in the steamed bun filling."

Everyone watched the handfuls of hemp dumplings come out of the pot, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. This thing is so fragrant, just after eating such a bite, it hooked out all the cravings in the stomach.

Wu Yong looked funny, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: After a while, the twist will come out of the pot, and you still don't know what to be hungry for!

In fact, Wu Yong not only plans to make hemp dumplings today, but also plans to make twist flowers.

However, this twist is the most test of people's skills, and when the hemp dumplings are about to be fried, he began to prepare to rub the twist flowers.

So he clicked on the system and demonstrated it a few times, but many women still couldn't master the skills, so Wu Yong had no choice but to do it himself.

Because of the system in hand, Wu Yong's twist is not only very symmetrical, but also his speed is extremely fast, and before the pot is fried, he rubs it out again.

When the twist flower came out of the pot, everyone looked at this completely different form from the hemp dumpling, so they began to discuss.

"What is this? It looks better than hemp dumplings! ”

Wu Yong explained with a smile: "This is a twist flower, hemp dumplings can be used in cooking, and this twist flower can be eaten as a snack for children on weekdays." ”

Everyone was stunned, then looked at Wu Yong and laughed: "I think you want to eat it, so you found a reason!" ”
