Chapter 42 Lin's Baked Dough

"Xiaofang, what are you eating, why is it burnt?"

Yang Xin came back from get off work in the workshop. When he approached the door of Lin's house, he smelled a faint burnt aroma coming from the small kitchen. He thought it was Lin Fanghua who was cooking, so he yelled.

These days, Lin Zhenhua was left behind to work in the petrochemical machine, so Yang Xin moved here to be Lin Fanghua's companion. He stayed at the Lin's house every day, and went straight back to the Lin's house after work, which almost made his parents think that the girl was married.

"It's not Xiaofang, I'm back." Lin Zhenhua poked his head out from the kitchen, and smiled at Yang Xin.

"Brother Xiao Hua." Yang Xin burst into joy, "When did you come back?"

"I came back after three o'clock in the afternoon. When I passed by the farmers' market, I bought some food. These days, I'm not at home. Are you suffering?"

"What are you talking about?" Yang Xin said angrily, "It seems like you have done a lot of work at home, isn't Xiaofang doing all the housework?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "It's true that Xiaofang can do housework, but if you want to eat good food, you need me, a super chef, to come on stage, right? You must not have much money these days, wait for me to comfort you."

Lin Zhenhua was busy in the kitchen while talking to Yang Xin.Yang Xin felt so strange and couldn't help but leaned forward to watch it.

I saw a simple iron frame set up on the briquette stove in the kitchen, and a cage-like thing made of thick wire was supported in the middle of the iron frame, and a huge dough was placed in it, which was baking on the fire.Lin Zhenhua kept turning the iron cage to heat the dough evenly in all directions.Since it has been baked for a while, the surface of the dough has some scorched marks, and the burnt smell that Yang Xin smelled just now came from here.

"Brother Xiaohua, are you baking bread?" Yang Xin asked. Although bread is considered a luxury, everyone has seen it before.However, it seems that the dough baked by Lin Zhenhua is not as fluffy as bread, not to mention, the volume is much larger than bread.

"It's much tastier than bread." Lin Zhenhua said deliberately.

"Why do I smell alcohol?"

"That's right, when I made the noodles, I put half a bottle of white wine in."

"Why is that?" Yang Xin was very curious.

"What are you talking about!" Lin Fanghua suddenly appeared behind the two of them and shouted at them.

Yang Xin patted her chest: "Oh, you scared me to death! Why didn't you say anything?"

"Squeak!" Lin Fanghua squeaked loudly in response to Yang Xin's call, and then looked at Lin Zhenhua happily: "Brother, you still know how to come back?"

"Nonsense, this is my home, why don't I come back?"

"I heard from Master Hao that you fell in love with a young female welder over there, and her name has been changed to Lin Chenshi." Lin Fanghua said as if exposing the news. The master Hao she said was Hao Hao, an electric welder from the container workshop. Pine Forest, lives near their home.Among the welders who went to the petrochemical machine this time was Hao Songlin, who also witnessed the bet between Lin Zhenhua and Shen Jiale.

"Please, when did you start gossiping like a middle-aged woman?" Lin Zhenhua had a headache.

"Brother Xiaohua, is there such a thing? I heard that Mrs. Lin Chen is very beautiful?" Yang Xin also booed from the side. When Hao Songlin said this, she was also there. She cared more than Xiaofang. The truth and details of this story.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "Don't listen to Master Hao's nonsense, in his eyes, old sows have double eyelids."

"What do you think?" Yang Xin didn't want him to change the subject.

"Uh... Here's the thing, that female welder, Shen Jiale, is older than my aunt, her waist is as thick and round as a heat exchanger made in a container workshop, her face is full of bumps, and her flange Whatever her face looks like..." Lin Zhenhua slandered Shen Jiale against his will, and he clearly heard a strong sneezing sound coming from more than 60 kilometers to the north.

"How can you describe people like that!" Yang Xin and Lin Fanghua were laughing together, a face that looked like a flange was too spoof.However, Yang Xin liked Lin Zhenhua's metaphor from the bottom of his heart. All the women who tried or had approached Lin Zhenhua were flimsy in Yang Xin's eyes.As a miller, Yang Xin's task was to drill holes in the flange, one after another.

"Okay, okay, you all go back to the house and sit down, I'll make the meal in a while." Seeing that the alarm had been lifted, Lin Zhenhua said to the two girls.

Lin Fanghua said: "Brother, what are you doing? You didn't ask me to eat baked dough at night, did you?"

"Why, do you let me eat less baked dough?" Lin Zhenhua asked back, this is a short statement, because Xiaofang often cooks rice like baked dough or rice balls.

"You have to eat better today." Lin Fanghua said.These days when Lin Zhenhua was not at home, she and Yang Xin ate a little simple at home. She really missed the boiled fish Lin Zhenhua made.

"Give me a reason first." Lin Zhenhua said, he is not worried that his sister can't understand Hong Kong accent, he has already popularized science many times.

"Of course there is a reason." Lin Fanghua said, "First, you are back, Yang Xin and I miss you very much..."

"I didn't think about it..." Yang Xin denied it in a low voice, blushing.

"Think about it, tell my brother." Lin Fanghua glared at Yang Xin.The two of them lived together these few days, Lin Fanghua had figured it out a long time ago, and decided that Yang Xin wanted to have a date with her brother.She was of course in favor of that.Seeing Yang Xin's duplicity now, of course she couldn't help but despise her.

"Second!" Lin Fanghua deliberately paused, "Comrade Lin Zhenhua, you want to reward me, guess why?"

"Because you washed all my stinky socks?"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Lin Fanghua said, "Whenever I didn't wash it for you, you still have the face to say it."

"So you helped the old lady cross the road after school today?" Lin Zhenhua continued to guess.

"It was helped, but after being helped, the old lady said that her house is actually on the other side of the road, and she didn't have to cross the road." Lin Fanghua said with a smile. Lin Zhenhua actually taught her this joke. , she learned a lot of spoof jokes from Lin Zhenhua.

"Then I can't guess."

Lin Fanghua said proudly: "Let me tell you, the results of our final exam have been announced today, and I got No. 6 in the class!"

"Really?" Yang Xin was both surprised and delighted, "Xiaofang, you really got sixth in the class?"

Lin Fanghua attended No. 6 Middle School in the county seat.There are eight classes in the high school, six of which are rural classes, and two are urban classes, all of which are top students in the county.Lin Fanghua's grades in junior high school were not very good, and she barely got into No. [-] Middle School. Her grades could only be at the bottom of her class, but now she got No. [-] in the exam, which is really unexpected.If she can maintain such grades, it is possible for her to take an ordinary undergraduate course in the college entrance examination.You know, the children of Hanhua Machinery Factory have always been known for their low grades in the county No. [-] middle school. In previous years, they never passed the college entrance examination even a technical secondary school.

Lin Zhenhua looked at his younger sister expressionlessly, as if he didn't understand why she was so proud: "You mean the sixth in the class, not the sixth in the grade?"

"Are you mistaken? No. 1 in our class is the sixth grader!" Lin Fanghua said angrily, "Lin Zhenhua, you're not happy for me at all?"

"Good, good, happy, happy." Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to admit defeat. From the bottom of his heart, the sixth grade in the class did not fall into Lin Zhenhua's eyes at all, and the sixth grade in the grade was just barely in his eyes.However, seeing Lin Fanghua so happy, it was inconvenient for him to hit her again: "Go, set the table, we'll have a big meal tonight."

"It's just your baked dough, and you still say you have a big meal?" Lin Fanghua was very dissatisfied.

Lin Zhenhua ignored her, but turned to Yang Xin and said, "Yang Xin, go back and call your brother over, and say that there is something delicious, if you come late, it will be gone."

Both Yang Xin and Xiaofang knew that Lin Zhenhua was good at playing tricks, since he put on such a look, maybe he really hid some delicious things somewhere.The two left the kitchen, one went back to call his younger brother Yang Tao to eat together, and the other went back to the house to set up the table and set up the dishes.

"Here we come—" Under the attention of everyone, Lin Zhenhua walked in holding the big steaming dough with his hands wearing two pairs of gauze gloves. He put a big plate on the table and put the dough on the plate. Go up, and then shake your hands desperately, because the dough is too hot.

"How do you eat this?" Everyone asked together.

"Look!" Lin Zhenhua broke the dough hard through the gauze gloves, the dough was split in two, and a scent gushed out from the middle of the dough, filling the whole room.

"It's chicken!" Lin Fanghua shouted happily, and saw a big fat chicken with soft skin and tender meat wrapped in the dough. The chicken was dripping with juice and shiny.

"This is Lin's beggar's chicken, which I am best at. Comments and corrections are welcome!" Lin Zhenhua announced loudly, "Please see, the traditional beggar's chicken is wrapped in yellow mud, but the yellow mud is not clean enough, so, The clever Lin Zhenhua invented the use of dough for wrapping, and white wine was added when kneading the dough, which helps to remove the fishy smell of the chicken. The outside of the chicken should have been wrapped with a layer of lotus leaves, but the season is not right now. I couldn't find fresh lotus leaves, so I used cabbage leaves, which can also produce a fragrant taste...Hey, hey, don't just eat it, listen to me! It's okay to say a few words of praise. .”

"Here, Yang Tao, I'll give you this thigh. Yang Xin, each of us has a wing. It's so delicious." Lin Fanghua didn't have time to listen to Lin Zhenhua showing off. Hold a fat chicken wing and eat it up.

"Why do you have everything, but I don't have anything?" Lin Zhenhua looked at everyone and said depressingly. Lin Fanghua picked up a large piece of chicken for Yang Xin and Yang Tao, but only for his brother.

Yang Xin smiled sweetly at Lin Zhenhua, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the remaining chicken thigh, and put it in Lin Zhenhua's bowl: "Isn't this right? Xiaofang is keeping it for you. Who made you talk so much."

"Hehe, it's still Yang Xin who knows that he loves me." Lin Zhenhua said gratefully after getting a chicken thigh.

Yang Xin said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Lin Fanghua with a ghostly heart, and met Lin Fanghua's teasing gaze, Yang Xin couldn't help being embarrassed: "Damn Xiaofang, what are you looking at? It's weird to eat something!"
