Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 504

After a while of giggling, Bai Qian cut the dates, and Cheng He fermented the dough.

Bai Qian put down the knife, rubbed her fingers, and said, "This jujube bun is a bit expensive to eat. If it's really delicious, it can comfort my fragile fingers and heart."

Cheng He saw that her fingers were red and swollen when holding the knife. He guessed that the knife was a bit heavy for her, so he said, "I told you a long time ago, you don't need to cut it, just pat it a few times. If you don't listen, don't listen."

"I won't listen, I don't want to make the jujube juice flow everywhere, I just want to cut it." Bai Qian said desperately, but kept rubbing her fingers.

"Okay, you've done a good job. You've worked hard. I'll make jujube buns in a while, and I'll wrap them on my body. It's delicious, fragrant and sweet, and comforts your fragile fingers and heart." Cheng He repeated her words .

Bai Qian smiled sweetly at him, her eyebrows and eyes curved.

Cheng He pinched her face and said, "You want to trick me? Tell you, I won't do this."

Bai Qian also pinched his face, and said, "Well, this 'beauty trick' is well said, I like to hear it."

Cheng Xinxin saw it, raised her face and said, "Father, I want to pinch, I want to pinch too."

It's a pity that she is too short to reach her father's face when she jumps up, and she is anxious on the ground.

Cheng He picked her up, grabbed her small face and said, "Your mother pinches me, and you want to pinch me too? Dad, you better pinch me? Do you still want to eat jujube buns?"

Cheng Xinxin giggled, and stretched out her hand to pinch his face, saying, "Dad, it's best to pinch, Dad, it's best to pinch."

Bai Qian saw that Cheng He had pinched her daughter's face just now, and there were two white fingernail marks, which were two balls of white flour.

She suddenly remembered and said, "You didn't wash your hands, did you? You pinched my face just now. My face is also white?"

No, the white fingernail marks on it are very obvious.

And if she hadn't seen Cheng Xinxin's face, she wouldn't have thought of her own face, and she might go out like this in a while.

This guy must have done it on purpose.

Cheng He raised his hand, saw that it was full of flour, and said, "Why wash your hands? Do you still think flour is dirty? You will eat it later, what should I do?"

Bai Qian rubbed her face, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, it's not dirty, I'll pinch your face too."

"Hey, don't be so narrow-minded, your daughter has been pinching me for a long time, isn't it enough?" Cheng He hugged Cheng Xinxin and quickly hid.

However, he didn't run far, afraid that Bai Qian would chase her, and it was not suitable for her to run at this time.

Bai Qian grabbed his face a few more times as she wished, and finally breathed out.

After playing around for a while, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Cheng He washed his hands and went to knead the jujube noodles.

After the dough is fermented, it is loose and soft. At this time, it needs to be kneaded again, and the dates are kneaded in, and then divided into buns one by one. After waking up for a while, steam it in a pot.

Seeing that Cheng He's kneading posture is very skillful, Bai Qian said eagerly, "Shall I knead it too?"

Cheng He said: "You can't do it. Kneading dough is hard work. You are weak and can't do it well."

"You like to underestimate people."

"I'm not underestimating you, really, it takes strength. Your strength itself is weak, and now it's not suitable for heavy work, you know?"

"I don't believe it. The north often eats noodles, so don't the pregnant women over there stop kneading noodles? Are they all raised at home?"

"Hey! The ambition is not small! Pregnant women in the north... Can you compare with others? They can lift you up with one hand, and you can crush ants to death. Oh no, you don't even dare to squeeze ants .”

"Look, look, you just underestimate me, let me tell you, I'm angry. Hmph!"

"You said you... your man loves you, you don't know what's good, you still say 'I'm angry', how childish! Are you five years old?"

The two of them sat around the table and talked to each other. Cheng He rubbed and said, and heard him say: "Okay, okay, I've finished rubbing after talking for a long time. The saliva of the two of us , it made the dough bigger, you know it!"

Bai Qian was teased by him and smiled.

While Cheng He was kneading the noodles, she could smell the fragrance of jujubes, and felt very comfortable.

She doesn't like the greasy smell very much now, but the taste of these fresh fruits is much better, and it smells smooth.

Cheng He pulled the dough kneaded with dates into pieces, rounded them, put them aside, and woke up.

The temperature is still high now, wake up for more than ten minutes before steaming, the bun will be more fluffy.

Taking advantage of this time, he went to the vegetable field and brought back some vegetables, mainly a few pumpkin leaves.

Ordinary people will put a piece of white cotton cloth under the steamer to separate the steamed buns. It should be breathable and not too watery, otherwise the steamed buns will not be good.

But in the countryside, they are all padded with some seasonal vegetable leaves.In summer, lotus leaves are used for padding. Now that there are pumpkin leaves, pumpkin leaves are used.

These green leaves are placed under the steamer, which has good air permeability and can also give the steamed bun a scent. If it is steamed with lotus leaves, the steamed buns will also have the fragrance of lotus leaves, which is delicious to eat.

After Cheng He arranged the pumpkin leaves in the steamer, he put the jujube buns that had just woken up on it, and steamed them in a large pot. Taking advantage of this time, he went to make some dishes.

When eating jujube buns, the most ideal side dish is of course chili fried pork.This taste is like the meat clip mo in the Northwest, it is fragrant and not greasy.

The taste of jujube bun is sweet, and it is also suitable for eating oily and meaty things. It tastes good, and it is more appetizing with a little spicy taste.

Let's serve it with a few other dishes, and steam a minced meat and egg custard, to add a little nutrition to Bai Qian, and let's work together.

When the dinner was almost ready, Bai Qiming, who had gone out fishing, also came back with a fish basket, just in time for dinner.

Cheng Xinxin took his hand and said softly, "Grandpa, today we are eating jujube buns. My father made them. They are delicious."

This guy helped her father start selling.She obviously hadn't eaten it yet, so she started to say that it was delicious.

Bai Qiming said with a smile: "Oh? Really? Then how much do you want to eat today?"

Cheng Xinxin stretched out her little hand, gestured for a "two", thought for a while, added another finger, made a gesture for "three", and said, "I want to eat three."

Bai Qiming rubbed her little head and said, "Okay, okay, it's better to eat more, and you will grow taller and smarter if you eat more."

Cheng Xinxin was grinning.

Sure enough, after steaming the hot jujube buns, as soon as the lid of the steamer is lifted, you can smell the fragrance of jujubes filling the kitchen, just smelling it can make people swallow.

Both Bai Qian and Cheng Xinxin liked this fresh scent, they were delicious.

These buns are not small in size, one can fill your stomach, and two can fill you up, but Cheng Xinxin is worthy of her bragging, she really ate three, probably because she really thought it was so delicious.

Cheng He saw that she liked to eat, and Bai Qian also enjoyed it, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Bai Qian also yelled to ask if there was any more in the pot, fearing that she would finish it in one meal, Cheng He said, "The buns steamed today can last for two or three days, why are you panicking?"

Isn’t it? It’s not easy to make a meal of steamed buns. Usually, it’s prepared for a few days, and then steamed slowly.

There is still a lot in the pot, Cheng Xinxin is also relieved, you can continue to eat tomorrow, don't panic.

A meal of jujube buns will feed the whole family, and they all lean on the back of their chairs, unwilling to move.

Even the big yellow dog and the raccoon got a little bit, and they ate deliciously.

Bai Qian leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at the jujube tree, and said, "I really want to plant all the jujube trees in the yard, then I can eat jujube buns every day."

Cheng He said with a smile: "It's the first time you eat it. It feels fresh and you think it's delicious. It really makes you eat it every day. You must be unhappy again. This is what we used to supplement when the food was not enough. White steamed buns are not popular, so I added some dates to it. See how rare you are."

"I don't care, I just like to eat." Bai Qian said.

Cheng He made fun of her: "Look at you, no child is as delicate as you."

Bai Qian ignored him, stood up, went to the kitchen to get a big soup bowl, filled several jujube buns into it, called Cheng Xinxin, and said, "Honey, let's go and see Uncle Cheng Shi's new aunt .”

Cheng Shi has been married for a few days, but the bride has become shy and doesn't go out much, hiding at home.

Bai Qian knew the feeling of a foreign daughter-in-law. Although she could feel that the villagers were kind to her, she couldn't understand the accent first, and she was a foreigner after all, so she always felt a little out of place.

Then let's take the initiative and get closer together.

Cheng Shi's mother was really nice to Cheng Xinxin, and Cheng He went out some time ago, and his mother even made a special trip to deliver food to her mother-in-law, so she was also willing to get closer to Cheng Shi's daughter-in-law.

Reciprocity.

Cheng He saw her go out, so he took a bowl of steamed buns and said, "How dare you take it?"

What people brought over were chicken and fish, how many buns did she serve them?
People thought he was stingy when he said it.

Bai Qian turned around and said, "You don't understand this, do you? Cheng Shi's wife is also from the city, so she must have never eaten this. Believe me, she will definitely like it."

When Cheng He thought about it, this theory is really possible!
Cheng Shi's family just held a wedding banquet two days ago, and there are always some unused ingredients, big fish and big meat must be indispensable, maybe they really like this?

Bai Qian took Cheng Xinxin by the hand and said, "Come on, let's go see Uncle Cheng Shi's new aunt."

Cheng Xinxin was thinking about her new aunt's beautiful clothes that day, and happily followed her.
