Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Then, Li Ruxiu rolled up his sleeves, walked to the working panel, and prepared to knead the dough to make pancakes.

When she stood in front of the chopping board, her graceful figure instantly attracted everyone's attention.

I saw her bending down slightly, kneading the dough vigorously with both hands. As her movements rose and fell, her curvy figure twisted gently like a moving dance.

This graceful figure was so alluring that Xu Damao, who was standing by, stared with his eyes wide open, swallowed saliva unconsciously, and felt his mouth dry.

If the fire wasn't still burning, Xu Damao would have wanted to hug Li Ruxiu from behind...

After a while, Li Ruxiu picked up the rolling pin and began to roll the dough rhythmically, making the dough evenly thick and thin.

Then, Li Ruxiu evenly sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on the dough, and then carefully spread a layer of white lard on it.

The lard looks particularly crystal clear against the backdrop of chopped green onions, emitting a charming luster.

After completing these steps, Li Ruxiu skillfully folded the dough in half and rolled it again with a rolling pin, repeating this several times until the dough became clearly layered.

At this time, the pot had already been heated. Li Ruxiu poured a little lard into the pot. When the oil was hot enough, she quickly and accurately put the dough into the pot.

With a "sizzling" sound, the dough meets the hot oil, and immediately emits a mouth-watering aroma.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon the whole house was filled with the rich wheat aroma unique to scallion pancakes.

This fragrance seems to have a magical power. It has passed through thousands of years and is deeply imprinted in people's genes.

As soon as you smell this scent, all the cells in your body will become excited involuntarily.

……

"Sister Xiu, the scallion pancakes you made are so delicious!"

In the main room, Xu Damao opened his mouth wide and took a big bite of the scallion pancake that had just come out of the oven.

The crispy outer skin is crushed between the teeth, making a "crunching" sound, and the soft dough inside mixed with the aroma of chopped green onions and lard instantly fills the mouth.

Xu Damao chewed the food voraciously, gave Li Ruxiu a thumbs up and praised her highly. He swallowed the food in his mouth hastily without even chewing a few bites.

"Brother Damao, if it's delicious, eat more!" Li Ruxiu greeted him warmly with a simple smile on his face.

Xu Damao chewed the fragrant pancake and responded vaguely: "Sister Xiu, this pancake is so fragrant, but it takes a lot of white flour to make so many pancakes, right?"

Li Ruxiu nodded gently, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "That's right, brother Damao, flour is hard to buy now! We had to go to the town a few days ago to buy this little flour. I heard that you need food coupons to buy food now, I'm afraid it will be even harder to buy in the future."

After saying that, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Xu Damao swallowed the food in his mouth and took over the conversation: "Sister Xiu, you are right, this is indeed a major trend. From now on, no matter where you buy food, you must use food coupons."

Li Ruxiu looked at him with confusion and asked curiously, "Brother Damao, you are from the city and you are well-informed. Can you tell me what is going on here?"

Xu Damao cleared his throat and explained in a knowledgeable manner: "Sister Xiu, our country was founded not long ago. We are still poor everywhere. How can we produce so many supplies and food all at once?"

"So, these food coupons are used to plan the distribution of food. If we don't do this, the food will be unevenly distributed, and some people will definitely not be able to eat a meal, and then they will starve to death!"

Li Ruxiu was stunned and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She quickly put a few more pieces of cake into Xu Damao's bowl and said, "Oh, so that's what's going on. Damao, you have to eat more!"

Xu Damao devoured the fragrant pancake in just a few bites. Li Ruxiu smiled and took out another steaming pancake from the basket.

She picked up the chopsticks skillfully, gently picked up a few slices of tempting, plump braised pork head, and carefully spread them on the pancake.

Then, Li Ruxiu rolled the pancake skillfully like a skilled chef and handed it to Xu Damao.

Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly took the delicious scallion pancake with pork head and said to Li Ruxiu with gratitude: "Thank you, Sister Xiu, you should try it too. It took a lot of flour to make these."

Li Ruxiu quickly waved her hands and responded enthusiastically: "What are you talking about? Damao, just eat as much as you can!"

At this time, Xu Damao chewed the delicious food in his mouth and said incoherently: "Sister Xiu, when you went to get the roast chicken and pork head just now, you must have seen the half bag of white flour and the whole set of salt in my basket, right?"

Li Ruxiu nodded to indicate that he had indeed noticed it.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Xu Damao continued, "Actually, I prepared all of them specially for this trip. I was planning to exchange them with others for some old items to collect. But now the situation has changed, and I have to rush back home tomorrow. So, this remaining half bag of flour and the whole jar of salt are my little gifts to you, Sister Xiu!"

After saying that, he took another big bite of the scallion pancake with pork head in his hand.

Hearing this, Li Ruxiu's eyes widened and he quickly declined, "Oh my, how can I do this, Brother Damao! Those salt and flour are precious things. I can't take them from you for free. I can't take advantage of you."

Xu Damao smiled mischievously and said jokingly, "Sister Xiu, look at what you said. Haven't you already taken advantage of me? If you refuse this little advantage, I will be really sad."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he smiled wickedly and looked teasing.

"What do you mean I took advantage of you? It's obviously you who took advantage of me, okay? Look at this delicious pig head meat, it can't stop you from eating it."

When Li Ruxiu heard Xu Damao's teasing, her face suddenly turned red with shame, and she looked as beautiful as a ripe apple.

She raised her head coquettishly, her beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water, staring straight at Xu Damao. Her eyes seemed to be able to drip water, shy and charming.

"Why can't it be blocked? It can be blocked!"

As Xu Damao spoke, he picked up a piece of pork head with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Look, it's blocked now."
