Chapter 77: Barbecue and Elm Money
Look at the boiling green water, and then look at the Lingbao full of curiosity.
Cheng Yi suddenly became enlightened at the same time, but he was a little embarrassed.
What if my sister seems to be smarter than him? He looked at the pot of green water and thought of ...... didn't expect anything, but Lingbao thought that they could dye the steamed buns green.
"Is that okay?" Ling Bao asked eagerly.
Cheng Yi said uncertainly: "It should be possible...... Big brother, come here! β
If you don't make a decision, ask your eldest brother!
Cheng Yun is conscientiously barbecue, and he has also eaten barbecue, but it is all roasted by others and sent it up, and it is the first time to do it himself, which is a bit of a hurry.
Hearing Cheng Yi call himself, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Dad, take a look first!" β
After saying that, he hurriedly ran away, he really didn't have any talent for cooking.
"What do you call me?" Cheng Yun wiped the sweat from his busy work and washed his hands by the way.
Lingbao: "Big brother, look! β
Cheng Yun glanced at it and didn't understand: "What's the matter, let me beat eggs?" β
If he's not worried about eggshells in the soup, he can give it a try.
"No, no, big brother, look, the water that has blanched the spinach is green!" Ling Poke was excited, and danced to point out the key.
Cheng Yun was stunned for a moment, took a closer look, and it was really green.
But what's the matter?
He didn't know why, he looked at Lingbao strangely, and looked at the bright eyes of the elderly, and suddenly blessed his heart: "You mean, use spinach to dye steamed buns?" β
Seeing that the eldest brother had an idea with himself, Ling Bao nodded like pounded garlic, and his eyes were shining: "Big brother, do you think it's okay too?" β
Cheng Yun thought for a moment, spinach is meant to be eaten, and adding it to the dough will naturally not be harmful.
He remembered a kind of Jiangnan traditional pastry Qingtuan that he had eaten before, which was green and said to be made with green wormwood.
Since green wormwood can, it doesn't make sense that spinach can't.
"Absolutely." Cheng Yun rubbed her little head and praised, "Lingbao is so smart." β
"Great!" Ling Bao cheered happily, "We have one more." β
At this time, the king said, "If there can be yellow-green, can there also be other colors?" β
Ling Bao was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, yes!
There are two colors, so why not just get a few more? There are seven colors of the rainbow!
"Big brother, second brother!" Ling Bao took their hands, one in each hand, "We can make more colors, like a rainbow, it's beautiful!" β
The two of them suddenly opened their mouths, yes, they can make a few more colors and sell them together!
"But what else can you dye but spinach?" Cheng Yi asked.
Ling Bao frowned and thought about it, but didn't think about it.
"My lord, do you have any books in the library to write this?"
"There should be."
That's a library!
That Lingbao was relieved, and she would look for it in the evening.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it now, let's think slowly together."
At this time they were talking, Cheng Yi had already made the spinach, egg and tofu soup, put it in a large basin, and motioned for the two of them to go out together.
Cheng Zhongqian turned the meat skewer underneath and raised his chin to Cheng Yun: "You just roasted it there." β
Cheng Yun looked over at the table and was silent for a long time: "Dad, did you bake me paste?" β
Cheng Zhongqian scolded: "What I baked for you, I'll get my hands on it!" You are also capable, just use the barbecue you turn over, you can grill it like this. β
Cheng Yi, who personally asked his eldest brother to help, also failed to escape the sanction: "And you, knowing that your eldest brother doesn't have this talent, and let him barbecue, isn't it a waste of food?" β
Cheng Yi felt that he was so wronged!
How did he know that his eldest brother could even make charcoal into charcoal for barbecue!
But now Dad knows that he can't waste food, which is really unexpected.
Cheng Yun: "......"
He tried to defend himself: "I was still fine when I handed it over to you...... daddy"
Cheng Zhongqian sneered, and he immediately stopped talking.
Ling Bao leaned over and took a look, and commented innocently: "It's really like charcoal, as black as charcoal." β
Cheng Yun felt a little pain in his heart.
"Isn't it going to turn black if you add this?" Lingbao poked the charcoal, picked it up and took a bite, and a small baby tooth almost collapsed, "It seems that it won't work." β
Afraid of hurting the eldest brother's heart, she said euphemistically: "It's not unpalatable, but it will break the guest's teeth, which is not good." β
Cheng Yun held his forehead, crying and laughing.
He looked at his hands, why was he so unfit for cooking?
The meat skewers are moderately fat and thin, crackling when they are roasted by the fire, and the grease is grilled out, and they are oily, and they are already very fragrant without sprinkling seasoning.
Lingbao squatted next to the fire, and his greedy saliva was about to flow out. Needless to say, the king had already drooled out of his saliva and formed a small puddle on the ground.
In the past, Lingbao could only eat a bite of meat during the Chinese New Year, but now it is not said that it is often eaten, and it can be eaten at least twice a month.
And she has never seen this form of barbecue, let alone eaten it, it is so fragrant!
The family ate and drank, and ate all the food on the table.
Lingbao's belly was up, like a small round ball.
"Hiccupβ" Hiccup!
Cheng Yi touched his sister's round little belly and laughed: "It's so fun." β
Ling Bao pushed his hand away, and he leaned in to touch it again.
It's annoying!
The result of eating too much is to consume food, wandering around the village, and when passing by the river, Lingbao found that the elm trees by the river are blooming.
"Brother, the elm money has grown, let's come to get the elm money tomorrow!"
"What is elm money?"
Ling Bao pointed to the big elm money tree next to him: "That's it, the shape is round, like a copper coin." β
On the ground, there was another elm coin that fell when someone else was picking it up, and Lingbao picked it up and showed them: "Look! It can be eaten! β
Cheng Yi was surprised: "Can you eat this?" β
Since he came to Beihe Village, he has learned a lot about what he can eat.
"Yes." Lingbao said, "It's delicious, everyone likes to eat it." β
In addition to being delicious, there is another reason that Yu Qian, homonym "surplus money", there is a saying that you can have "surplus money" after eating "Yu money", who doesn't want to have extra money? Isn't that all year round, I naturally like to eat.
"We can make Yuqian buns, and Yuqian buns are also delicious."
Cheng Yun asked, "Oh? What else can be done? β
Ling Bao smiled, crossed his fingers and said, "That's a lot, Yuqian rice, Yuqian pancakes, Yuqian nest, Yuqian porridge, steamed Yuqian...... Ah, it's all delicious! β
As he spoke, he almost drooled greedily.
Cheng Yun was really curious, how could someone say something so fascinating, and everyone who said it wanted to taste the food in her mouth.
