MTL - Siheyuan: The Final Winner-Chapter 13 I heard Liang Ladi for the first time
Chapter 13 Hearing Liang Ladi for the First Time
Old-faced steamed buns, if you want to taste good, the key is to fully ferment.
Now that the temperature is low, Jiang Ping'an can only use space if he wants to ferment the dough well.
The processing workshop in the space, although it cannot do deep processing, but this simple fermentation process is still possible.
Not only fermented old noodles, but also can be made in the processing workshop when fermenting is required for brewing wine, soy sauce and vinegar, making bean paste, etc. in the future.
After putting the dough into the processing workshop to ferment, Jiang Pingan quickly lit a fire and boiled water.
There are three large steamers at home, all cleaned and ready to use at any time.
After being busy for nearly an hour, Jiang Pingan used up ten catties of flour and steamed 150 big and white steamed buns.
The aroma of wheat was tangy, and it happened that Jiang Pingan hadn't eaten lunch, so he picked up the steamed buns just out of the pan, and ate six of them in one go.
"Shu Tan!" Jiang Pingan let out a long breath after eating.
As for the other steamed buns, they were all put in the space backpack.
When you want to eat, you can take it out at any time.
After resting for a while, Jiang Ping'an continued to be busy.
There were still fifteen catties of flour left, and he took out ten catties, and kept five catties for future use.
He took some cabbage and leeks out of the space, fried them with lard to make stuffing, and made buns and dumplings.
The buns are stuffed with cabbage, and fifty of them are made.
Dumplings have two kinds of fillings, each made one or two hundred.
After the dumplings were cooked, he used two large wooden barrels to fill them up, and put them together with the buns in the space backpack.
Although he was very tired, Jiang Ping'an felt very fulfilled.
From now on, he will no longer be short of food.
After a few days, the chickens and fat pigs in the space will be in groups, and the life will be even better.
Even if you can’t find cattle and sheep in a short time, Jiang Ping’an will not worry about running out of meat. You can look for it slowly in the future, as long as you have pork to eat.
Time passed inadvertently, and it was evening in the blink of an eye.
It was getting dark outside. After Jiang Pingan ate a few steamed buns for dinner, he had just cleaned the kitchen when he heard footsteps.
"It's Qin Jingru who's here." Jiang Pingan thought to himself.
He was very familiar with Qin Jingru's footsteps, and he seemed very cheerful when he walked and jumped.
He didn't go out to greet him, he took a pot of hot water unhurriedly, sat down to soak his feet, and waited quietly for Qin Jingru to come to the door.
After a while, Qin Jingru came.
She was still wearing the pink padded jacket from yesterday, her little face was flushed from the cold, and she was wearing a scarf around her neck, making her look a little cute.
"Brother Pingan is soaking your feet?" Qin Jingru greeted with a smile after entering the kitchen.
Jiang Pingan nodded with a smile, and pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down, are you freezing?"
Qin Jingru sat down obediently, and replied with a smile: "Fortunately, it's not too cold."
"Why are you here now?" Jiang Ping'an raised his eyebrows and asked.
Qin Jingru smiled sweetly, and said: "Today, I have a relative who got married. I went to drink and got a few fruit candies, so I wanted to bring them back and give them to Brother Pingan to taste."
As she spoke, she took out two candies from her pocket, held them in both hands, and handed them to Jiang Pingan with a smile.
In an instant, Jiang Ping'an was a little moved.
He asked: "Have you eaten yet?"
"No, I can't bear to eat." Qin Jingru swallowed, pursed her lips and smiled.
Jiang Pingan hesitated, took one from her hand, peeled off the candy wrapper, and fed it to Qin Jingru.
Qin Jingru hid, and said in his mouth: "Brother Pingan, you eat first, I'm not in a hurry!"
"I eat a lot of this stuff in the city, I want to watch you eat it!" Jiang Ping'an said softly.
"Oh." Qin Jingru responded, glanced at the fruit stand in Jiang Pingan's hand, and then gently swallowed it with his small mouth.
"It's so sweet!" Qin Jingru said with narrowed eyes, her face full of happiness.
As she spoke, she peeled off another candy and wanted to feed it to Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Pingan did not refuse this time.
"It's quite sweet." Jiang Pingan said with a smile, and then asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Qin Jingru shook her head and replied: "My relatives are far away, so I rushed back after lunch. I came to you as soon as I came back. I haven't had time to eat dinner yet!"
After a pause, she smiled embarrassingly again, and said: "Actually, during this period of time, my family has no dinner. For many days, I only eat one meal at noon. I don't care if I am full. I drink stick porridge with clear soup and little water. "
Jiang Pingan heard the words, quickly took out the feet soaked in the basin, rubbed them on the trouser legs, got up and smiled:
"Then you came at the right time. I found some white noodles and made dumplings to eat at night. There are about ten left over. I'll give them to you."
Qin Jingru was both surprised and happy, hesitantly said: "Brother Pingan, you should keep it for yourself, I want to eat, what are you going to eat tomorrow?"
Jiang Pingan came to the cupboard, took a bowl, took out sixteen dumplings from the space behind Qin Jingru's back, pulled out a pair of chopsticks, and brought them to Qin Jingru.
"Don't refuse, this thing is a good thing, and it's still hot. I can't bear it for ordinary people, but I can only bear it if you come here." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.
Paused, he said again: "As for what I will eat tomorrow, isn't there still stick noodles in the rice jar? Don't worry, I won't be hungry."
After several refusals, Qin Jingru finally took the bowl and chopsticks, came to the table and sat down.
"How about we eat together!" Qin Jingru picked up a dumpling and hesitated.
Jiang Ping'an said in a bad mood: "If you tell you to eat, you will eat it. Why are you moaning? Leave me alone. I'm full tonight. Otherwise, why would you have your share?"
"That's great!" Qin Jingru blinked, shrank her neck, and began to chew and swallow slowly.
Jiang Ping'an looked at her a little strangely.
Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu, no matter how hungry or gluttonous they are, they always eat slowly and never gobble it up.
Could it be that tall and beautiful women have unique temperament and image?
When he came back to his senses, Jiang Ping'an said with a smile: "Look at your travel-laden appearance, have you walked a long way today?"
"It's quite far away. I set off when it was slightly bright. When I arrived there, I started the banquet. After eating, I rushed back. All the time was wasted on the road." Qin Jingru nodded while eating dumplings.
Suddenly, she thought of something again, and hurriedly said to Jiang Pingan: "By the way, I heard some news on the way back."
"What news?" Jiang Ping'an asked curiously.
Qin Jingru said: "It's Liang Ladi from your village. Her husband died of illness."
"Liang Ladi? His man seems to be called Peng Jizhong, right? He is a welder in our rolling mill and a machine repair shop." Jiang Ping'an.
"Yeah, yes." Qin Jingru nodded again and again:
"Then Liang Ladi is about the same age as my cousin, but she already has four children."
"Once her man dies, I'm afraid the days to come will be sad!"
Jiang Ping'an shook his head and said, "No matter how sad she is, it's better than a peasant's life."
"Don't forget, she can take over Peng Jizhong's position. She seems to have a tailoring skill. As long as she is not lazy, she has enough conditions to bring up a few children."
Qin Jingru tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right..."
