Chapter 50 Baking Onion Pancakes
(I have something to do at night, so I will update it in advance. Please support me (╯3╰).)
Most of the homes of the people in this village are three or two rooms, and some main rooms are spacious, so there are small rooms for children to squeeze together.

And those who have a lot of children, the young children have to sleep in the parents' room, but they still do what they need to do at night, so what does the little child know.

But Chu Ge is different, the two little children are uncle and aunt, people don’t have the time to think about messing around at night, so Liu discussed it with Ji Laoliu, saying to find an excuse another day, Calling Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er to sleep at home, wouldn't Chu Ge be able to mess things up by then.

Although this Mrs. Liu is well-intentioned, but after all, this is the private work of the young couple. It’s a lot of things. There is a layer of window paper on the surface. Everyone is living a good life, but you are stunned It was about to be pierced, which was a mistake.

Fortunately, Ji Laoliu thought leniently, and insisted on Liu Shi to get rid of this idea, "You don't know what the two of you are thinking, you meddle in nonsense, and tell you that you won't do it in the future." Dare to be with you."

Mrs. Liu said to herself, "Yo, I really mean it."

Ji Laoliu said, "You are very kind, but do people know? People know that you lie on your stomach and listen to the bottom of the wall, and then laugh at them in a different way after the end, that Xiuniang sister In the future, I will guarantee that you will not even be asked to enter the house."

Mrs. Liu frowned, "What's the matter, I was just thinking about it..."

Ji Laoliu picked up the main point and said, "Anyway, I don't know if that girl Xiuniang thinks so. You are with her for nothing. You don't know what kind of temper she has. If it's you, you What are you doing?"

Liu thought it was reasonable, if someone else knew about the private affairs of the couple, she would be angry and hated, if it was her, she would not ask anyone to enter the house.

She thought for a while, stood up, and Ji Laoliu saw him and said, "What are you going to do?"

Mrs. Liu took the apron and said that she wanted to go across the house to find Xiu Niang, and then said, "Hey, why are you staring? I'm not idle and looking for scolding, I am If you need something, go to Xiuniang."

Ji Laoliu nodded his head together, sucking on the cigarette holder, "Well, then you go, I guess I've finished washing myself by now."

Listening to this, Mrs. Liu stood still, raised her arms and sniffed, "Father, you said that I would wash myself before going over."

Ji Laoliu took a bong and put it on the door threshold and knocked, "Hey, that little auntie, you don't want to rub the mud, what are you going to do, I think it's best for you to be like this, I don't care about your mouth .”

Mrs. Liu was delighted when she heard it, but she said, "Oh, what are you yelling about, that young man, wash yourself up, and see you bury him. What do you mean by rubbing mud?"

Ji Laoliu put the cigarette stick into the pouch, "Hey, you old sauerkraut has to smell like this. Besides, you make a lot of noise after washing your body. It's a waste of water and firewood. You still have to pay for it when you're done." Fei that stick... hey, don't grab my bong."

******************************
Xiu Niang was busy with work in the first half of the day, because she had to prepare some takeaway food, and at noon she had to go across the field to deliver food to Chu Ge.

Since there is no such work in the field, Chu Ge usually goes home to eat, but earlier, she and Chu Ge said that they would plant some Erbao vines in the field, so the few acres of open land had to be cleaned up first. , After finishing, it is easy to plant something.

Chu Ge has been busy since the afternoon. He only took a hoe with him when he went to the field. He just wanted to turn the soil out of the field to bask in the sun, put it back together, and remove some weeds.

Since this is a laborious job, you have to eat something to keep you full. Yesterday, Xiu Niang brought a big bowl of rice with fried vegetables on it, but Chu Ge only ate half of the bowl. With that, the rice grains were dry and hard to swallow.

So today she thought about getting some scallion pancakes, that is, the scallion pancakes, and it would be best to serve them with a jar of porridge.

Let Xiu Niang store some water in the pot first, put it on a small fire and slowly bake it, and when the water is warm, she scoops it up and adds it to the flour. To make onion pancakes, you need to use this warm water to knead the noodles. The lumpy dumplings that come out are soft and easy to use.

Then when you knead the noodles, add some lard, we have to make a puff pastry, right? She used to store peanut oil or something, but no one squeezed the oil here to buy it, so let’s just do it .

Xiu Niang kneaded the dough into a smooth ball on the chopping board, put it in a basin covered with a damp cloth and woke up, guessing that it would take a cup of tea, and used the spare time to make up ingredients.

Coincidentally, this morning, a big family member from Shi Laodao's family came to pick pigs, shouting to be slaughtered, picking out the bones to keep half of the pigs, and shouting to chop the other piece into pieces.

The rest of the meat slices were left to Shi Laodao to deal with, and as much as he sold, he would break off some silver taels for the big family, and send them to his house in half an hour.

There are three couples who weigh meat in this village, and Xiu Niang is one of them. According to what she said, it would be enough to weigh eight taels, but the sister-in-law cut up a catty with the knife, and it was a catty after finishing it. It is more expensive than the three pennies in the town.

She looked at it and didn't say anything. Originally, you don't have to go to the town to buy meat, so people just make money from you. Besides, the money is not wasted, anyway, it will be in the end. Eat it in the stomach of your own family.

Xiuniang took the more than one catty of pork to the yard to wash first, then picked out the fat, found a plate to put lean meat in, put a few spoonfuls of salt in it, grabbed it, and brought it back to the corner of the hall. In the corner, take a bamboo basket to cover, that is the coolest place.

Then take a larger soup pot, chop the shallots that were picked and washed earlier, and put them in it together with the fat that has been cut into small cubes. Roll out the dough.

After counting, two quarters of an hour passed, and the dough was ready to wake up. Xiu Niang took it to the chopping board and kneaded it a few times, divided it into four small balls, took one and rolled it into a large sheet. When it is completely white, sprinkle chopped green onion and salt, and then put the fat on it, and watch it spread evenly.

All that is left is to circle it by hand, make a long strip and cut a knife in the middle, circle the two halves into a circle, like a wheel, and then use a wooden stick to roll it open. All right.

Xiu Niang looked at it from the sidelines, but she was very relieved. This pancake was about to be baked, but it had multiple layers of puff pastry, charred on the outside and tender green onions on the inside. With her, it was also fattened. Put it into the pan. There is a "sizzling" sound, and the mouth will be full of oil after biting, and the fragrance is boundless.

Thinking of making herself greedy, she went out of the stove to get some firewood, so she could cook pancakes for a while.

But she suddenly saw a few mothers-in-law and aunts standing at the door, and two of them were pointing at her and talking about something, and they all dispersed after seeing her.
