Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 8 Past and Present
Although Su Yun was a southerner in his previous life, since his grandma is a northerner, he is not unfamiliar with making pasta.Speaking of which, coming to this ancient time, leaving aside the knowledge learned in school in the previous life, just cooking food can be regarded as a handy craft.

This is thanks to the fact that she was born into a foodie family.Her grandfather, grandmother, uncle, sister-in-law, and her lovely parents are all people who love to eat.Even if he has not received serious culinary training, he can still cook well.

As the saying goes, life is the best teacher in life.

In that era of lack of food and clothing, although there were few things to make, people's imagination was greatly stimulated. How to make some tricks on simple and plain ingredients became the greatest joy in life.

China is a country where people depend on food.No matter how hard you work during the day, as long as you can eat delicious food, all the fatigue will disappear.

Su Yun's grandfather is such a person, he can be said to be the king of food in the family.The old man was born in a wealthy family, but because of his family's decline, he went to Shanghai to make a living in his teens.

In the hard work of survival, I also got a taste of the style of Shanghai at that time. The cuisines of the north and the south converged here, and the cultures of the East and the West collided here, resulting in a special flavor with different layers of flavors but integrated.

Su Yun's grandfather is a caring person. Although he is often shy in his pocket, he has figured out his own way of eating food through various hearsay and his own attention.

Later, this craft was passed on to Su Yun's father, uncle, and sister-in-law. In the daily diet, it has become a great pleasure for the family to compete with each other as a family of foodies.

Su Yun has lived in such a family atmosphere since she was a child. When she was just a little sensible, she often stood beside her parents, drooling and watching how the elders cooked.

Under the influence of her ears and eyes, and with her own hard work, the craftsmanship of her fathers has been passed on to her.Even after work, I even learned baking in my spare time.

It can be said that even if she is not a master chef, she can be regarded as the best among ordinary people in terms of cooking home cooking.

A few days ago, I was wondering if I could rely on this skill to make a living.In fact, during the days in the university town, the customs declaration major she learned was of no use here.

But this person can't do without food.This family is so impoverished, and there is only one cooking skill that can be managed.I also thought in my heart, even if I am not a serious chef, but with a thousand years of knowledge, it will not be a problem to support myself and the people of this big family, right?

But looking at the poor money in the purse, her heart became cold again.There is no start-up capital, and it is useless to think about anything...

Today, with the blessing of my cousin, I secretly stuffed a small bag of white flour over here, and I was a little bit itchy while I was happy.

Although there is not much flour in a small bag, if everyone eats it with an open stomach, at least they can eat it for several days.

While making up with each other, Su Yun pondered secretly.Just now she weighed the bag of flour, and estimated that it weighed at least fifteen catties. When she lamented Lu Chenping's kindness, her mind became a little lively.

Through Lu Xier, she learned that this place is Lixian County, Yunzhou, and that their home is located in Lujia Village, Chashu Township.The people here get this name because most of them make a living by planting tea trees.

Four or five miles away from Lujia Village, there is Yunxia Lake, and there is Xiaoyan Mountain not far from Yunxia Lake, and there is a small island in the center of the lake. There are many different kinds of birds on the island, so it is named Bird Island. .

There are mountains, water and small islands. Such a natural landscape naturally attracts many tourists.Therefore, a market is formed there, and neighboring villagers often sell local specialties.

With such a generous condition, how could Su Yun, who is a descendant of the world, not feel alive when he heard about it?
It's just that the mountains are covered by heavy snow right now, and I don't know if there will be tourists there. I have to go there and do a market research.

As for the products to be sold... The corners of Su Yun's mouth twitched slightly. With this bag of white noodles, wouldn't there be a lot to do?

The people who can go to the mountains and rivers are more or less economically powerful. These people are not fake, but if they do the opposite, they mix white flour and coarse grains to make high-end steamed buns in later generations of restaurants. , maybe it can sell well?
While kneading his dough, Su Yun was planning in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and he couldn't help feeling a little happier, and hummed a little tune involuntarily while kneading his dough.

"Sister-in-law, what are you singing? It's really nice..." The second sister, Lu Huan'er, opened her big eyes and looked at Su Yun curiously. "I've never heard my sister-in-law sing before. This song is really nice."

The hands kneading the dough paused, Su Yun lowered his head and looked at the dough in his hands, the joy that had just flooded into his heart slowly dissipated, and a trace of bitterness emerged.

This is the Changzhou folk tune that my mother likes to hum most on weekdays. Every time she cooks in the kitchen, she always hums a few words, but if you ask the specific name of this tune, I can't get it.

In the years when there was no running water, the generation of parents grew up drinking canal water, "Cows come from the east, horses come from the west..." is an old Changzhou folk song that integrates folk songs, Wu songs, Yangko songs and minor tunes. The rhythm is clear and cheerful, which is the crystallization of the life wisdom of Changzhou people from generation to generation.

The little tune that I hummed inadvertently, and was accidentally asked by an uninformed person, stories about past lives and relatives surfaced in front of my eyes like a tide.

The dough in front of his eyes became hazy, and there was a word called "heart-breaking pain". At this moment, Su Yun felt it clearly.

My heart really hurts...

This kind of unspeakable anguish stuck in her chest was like needlepoints, coming from all directions, piercing the softest part of her heart again and again, she felt dizzy for a while, that part of her chest seemed to burst open, but just At that critical point, it sank again into the deep cold seabed, unable to speak.

The feeling of heartache is actually so uncomfortable.Su Yun, who was carefree since he was a child, at this moment, truly felt all the words used to describe grief in literature, tears streaming down his face but he couldn't even say "pain".

"Sister-in-law..." Seeing that her sister-in-law seemed to be crying, Lu Huan'er was startled, and asked timidly, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Su Yun turned his head to wipe away the tears on his face, and said with a choked voice: "It's nothing, just beat the dough hard, a little bit harder, it seems that something dirty has gone into the eyes..."

The happy atmosphere became depressing. Although the children were young, Su Yun's appearance of going crazy in the past few days was still vivid in his memory, and he still had lingering fears in his heart.

Are you worried that your sister-in-law is going to get sick again?The doctor said that although my sister-in-law has come back to life, she suffers from the disease of losing her soul, and she often behaves differently from others. I want them to be more careful, and don't provoke my sister-in-law any more, or she will get sick more easily. .

Lu Huan'er felt uneasy in her heart, wondering if her sister-in-law was crying because she just asked a question she shouldn't have asked.Otherwise, why would my sister-in-law cry?
