Chapter 37 Why Are They?

Xiaoxiao and Ning Erlang rushed to the kitchen almost at the same time. Naturally, the burritos left in the morning were gone, and the meat in the basket hanging on the beam was also gone. Ning Erlang's eyes turned red, he knew that it was too embarrassing for a man to eat in one bite , but he was angry.

"Why, why are they?"

Mrs. Song couldn't answer, so Second Aunt Ning came over in the afternoon, saying inside and out that after the separation of the big house, there would be no parents in her heart. The worse the words sounded, the more she ran away with the meat in her arms after she finished speaking. She and the head of the family didn't stop her, and it was hard to catch up and get back.

At this moment, even Ning Dalang, who was the most stable, didn't speak. Seeing the children who were dusty and full of smiles when they returned, Song didn't know what to say for a while.She also regretted it in her heart. If she had known earlier, she might as well have let the children have enough to eat yesterday.

Different from the guilt of Ning Fengnian and his wife and the anger of Ning Erlang, Xiaoxiao is quite calm. It should be said that she had expected this long ago. When she turned the pile of firewood, she flipped her palm and took out the stock from the space. I hid a little piece."

Ning Erlang: ...

When the second aunt came to the door, it was locusts crossing the border, and the only reason she could leave a steamed bun was because she could see it was mixed with chaff, and the old house didn't hesitate to ask for it.It was a miracle that my sister could hide so much.

Xiaoxiao washed her hands, picked up the kitchen knife and said to Mrs. Song, "Mother, I want to make buns for dinner."

She specially emphasized: "Meat buns."

But if she made this request before Second Aunt Ning came, it would only result in a brain collapse, but neither Mrs. Song nor Ning Fengnian could refuse the child now.

In order to avoid looking distressed, the couple went back to the house to recuperate and weave bamboo baskets, and the other went to the vegetable field to serve the green vegetables and cabbage that had grown seedlings.Ning Dalang followed, and whispered to his mother about today's harvest. Excluding those who bought the jars, they brought back a total of 250 Bawen today, which was more than the money Ning Dalang earned by helping build the house next door.

The family now has a total of 530 Wen copper coins. Although it is not much, Song still feels hopeful compared to when the family was separated, but she really can’t laugh now. She pushed the eldest son: "Go and see Look at your sister, see if she wants to help."

Xiaoxiao can't handle things like cooking, but kneading dough is hard work, she is still young and not strong enough, so she is instructing her second brother to do it for her.

Ning Erlang was in a fit of anger, and he couldn't say anything to his family, so he just wanted to use the dough to vent his anger, but just as he was about to add chaff to the dough, Xiaoxiao blocked his hand: "We won't add this stuff."

Ning Erlang was a little hesitant, but he heard her say: "Why does the old house eat our meat, but we ourselves want to eat chaff?"

Ning Erlang gritted his teeth cruelly, and tied the chaff bag again.

What my sister said is right, listen to my sister, there is meat to eat!
Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction: Ruzi can be taught.She was actually not that angry, but deliberately pretended to be wronged and sad, so that no matter how much meat was put in the bun, her parents would not be ashamed to talk about her.

Knead the flour mixed with water into a dough, add the old noodles and put it on the side of the pot to cover and wait for fermentation. Xiaoxiao starts to adjust the meat filling. The meat filling has two flavors, one is seasoned with onion, ginger and garlic, and the other is left alone For the garlic, use only a little onion juice to remove the fishy smell. After mixing, put them separately in two large bowls.

When the dough has expanded to twice its original size, take it out and knead the air bubbles. Ning Dalang helps divide the dough into small balls and roll them into skins. Xiaoxiao takes over and continues to stuff them. Each dough is filled with meat, and then the nimble fingers turned the dough around, and the perfectly wrinkled buns were pinched.

The kneaded buns are not in a hurry to be put into the pot. When the water is boiled, the raw buns are placed in a ventilated place to air and shape. It only takes a moment, then put them into the steamer and cover them for the second fermentation.She didn't start steaming until the steamed buns expanded significantly.

Put cold water on the pot, keep the medium and low heat steady, about half an hour, that is, after a stick of incense, the fragrant white and fat buns came out of the pot, she selected from the steamer specially made for Rong Yan and the others, and sent it over by herself .
