Plant peaches with uncle

A few days have passed since the last incident in Baoyue Town. Today is the 27th of the lunar calendar, and two days later it will be the [-]th of the Lunar New Year, the Lunar New Year.

Qin Boyu left shortly after he came back, and at the same time brought his old parents back. The many entanglements between father and son, mother and son are probably difficult to untangle before they reveal their hearts to each other.

Their departure didn't alarm anyone. It was because Qin Chengyu was going to visit his parents. Only then did he learn from the hotel manager that the old couple who lived in the view room on the top floor had left. The hotel staff didn't know that the old couple was the owner's parents.

Hearing that they had left, Qin Chengyu felt sad for a moment. He called his parents, and they were silent after a few words. The age difference was too great, and his parents were old enough to be his grandparents. The generation gap is estimated to be similar to that of the Mariana Trench.From childhood to adulthood, he grew up in a strict environment. Now that he thinks about it, the warm feelings of the family come from his elder brother a few times. His parents never bought him toys. He received a military education when he was very young. All must meet the requirements. Only when I see my eldest brother during the Chinese New Year can I get a few books and a few exquisite and rare toys, which are the only few toys in the process of growing up.

After being silent, Qin Chengyu told him frankly that he would not go home during the Chinese New Year.

Hearing this, the other side was silent for a long time, and then I heard Qin's father say that it's okay not to come back during the Chinese New Year, and you must be home for the Lantern Festival.After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and stopped abruptly with a faint sigh, as if it was Qin Chengyu's illusion.

After getting their parents over with, Qin Chengyu and Su Ruoyan began to prepare for the New Year, buying things for the New Year and making food for the New Year. After Hengyuan's annual meeting was over, Qin Chengyu gave himself a holiday in advance, which is more than a statutory holiday. It was only four days early.

"23, sticky melons; 24, house cleaning day; 25, making tofu; 26, stewing white meat; 27, slaughtering roosters; 28, making noodles; 29, steaming steamed buns; [-], staying up all night; New Year's Eve Go to New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year." According to the previous saying, before the Chinese New Year, it was a one-day event, but now there are not so many things to pay attention to, and the living conditions are affluent. You can kill chickens and sheep, make dough and make buns, etc., as long as you want, you can do it anytime. Do.

Qin Chengyu got up at four o'clock, it was still dark outside, Su Ruoyan next to him was still in a dream, he woke up for a while when he moved, and asked him what he was doing with sleepy eyes, he coaxed him twice and buried his head in sleep.

After getting dressed, I went to the bathroom to get a toothbrush and a cup and went downstairs. The movement of going downstairs disturbed the milk cake on the sofa on the first floor, "Meow?"

Qin Chengyu raised his finger, "Hush."

Nai Gao narrowed her eyes, stopped screaming, and watched Qin Chengyu twitch her hands and feet to go downstairs, gently opened the door and then carefully closed the door. Looking at the closed door, Nai Gao yawned, stretched her body, and became He looked like a cat and continued to sleep.

When Qin Chengyu left the bedroom, he turned on the wall lamp and the floor heater in the living room. The floor heater in the living room was turned off at night, and it was chilly after he went out.Wrapping his clothes tightly, Qin Chengyu quickly walked a few steps and opened the door. It was pitch black outside, only the street lamp a few steps away from the old house was on. A line was pulled out from the old house to connect it, and it took a little effort to arrange this line.

It is independently controlled, the wattage is not large, and there is solar charging. Generally, it is turned on for one night, and then turned off after getting up the next day.

Qin Chengyu looked towards the only bright spot in the darkness, there was sparse drizzle dancing in the air with the wind, like floating dust, probably not a good day today.

He yawned uncontrollably, and his breath formed white smoke.The strong wind blew violently, Qin Chengyu shivered slightly, held the toothbrush cup tightly, walked into the kitchen, closed the door, shutting out the wind, rain and cold outside.

Instead of rushing to wash up, he went to a large vat first, lifted the quilt on it, and removed the heating equipment hanging inside. The white flour inside had been fermented successfully, fluffy and soft, and the air was pressed out when he stretched out his hand , You can hear the sound of "噗噗", and the tip of your nose is slightly scented with distiller's grains.

Su Ruoyan suddenly wanted to eat steamed buns made from distiller's lees flour. Some time ago, Lin Sanye's family made some steamed buns filled with meat and red bean paste, soft steamed buns and dried steamed buns.Su Ruoyan especially likes to eat. Dried steamed buns with a lot of space, wrapped in egg liquid and fried in a pan are his favorites. With homemade sausages, he can eat two bowls of rice porridge in the morning.

After eating, it’s not easy to continue to reach out and ask others for it. Qin Chengyu simply made it himself. With the help and guidance of Lin Zhiming, he made a hundred catties of noodles in a big vat, made some steamed buns stuffed with green onions and meat, lotus seed paste and bean paste, and everything else After being made into steamed buns, slice them into sliced ​​steamed buns, put the sliced ​​steamed buns in the sun, and within a few days, they will become dried steamed buns, which can be stored for a long time if stored properly.

When I heard the third grandpa talk about ancient times, they said that when they were young, there was no white noodles to eat, so the dried steamed buns they made were divided into three, six, and nine grades. The best white noodles were rare and expensive, and they were reserved for guests, and the black noodles were eaten by themselves. The one with black noodles is also a delicacy that is only available during festivals.

After washing, Qin Chengyu started to cook. The noodles made of distiller's lees were soft and mushy. When holding the noodles, wet his hands with water, scoop out an appropriate amount, shape them into a suitable shape, and place them on the steaming cloth.

After making a few oddly shaped buns in a hurry, Qin Chengyu gradually mastered the essentials, and the steamed buns he made were similar in shape to lightning puffs.A steamer came out, and the room was full of fragrance, and Su Ruoyan walked in amidst the fragrant steam.

Qin Chengyu looked up at the sky outside, it was still gray, about six or seven o'clock, "Why don't you sleep more."

"Of course I get up to make steamed buns. How can I sleep?"

"The ground is wet, be careful where you step." Seeing Su Ruoyan walking towards him carelessly, Qin Chengyu raised his voice and warned.

"Oh." Su Ruoyan nodded, took the mop, was careful when walking, wiped off the wet ones, raised his head and smiled, "That's all right."

Qin Chengyu smiled and tapped Su Ruoyan in the air with his wet hands, "Even so, be careful."

"I know, Uncle Qin." Su Ruoyan walked to the table, looked at Qin Chengyu's movements curiously, and felt a little greedy after watching for a while, "I want to try it too."

"You can try it after breakfast. There is rice porridge in the pot, and there are fresh steamed buns on the table over there. The salted duck eggs cooked yesterday are on the cooking table. If you want to eat pickled melon, you can take one out of the jar. , Be careful when cutting with a knife, don't hurt your hands."

Su Ruoyan couldn't help but rolled her eyelids at the sky, and said in a tone full of helplessness: "Brother, I have a baby, it's not because of mental deterioration or physical disability, I can take care of myself."

"Okay." Qin Chengyu nodded repeatedly, but when he saw Su Ruoyan uncovering the pot, he couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful of the heat."

Su Ruoyan turned her head to feign anger, "I'm not a child anymore."

"Okay, okay." Qin Chengyu surrendered, put his hand to his mouth and made a zip movement, so as to ensure that he would not speak again.

The steamed buns just out of the pan are torn open, and there are large gaps inside. Because the dough is fully fermented with distiller's grains, the texture of the steamed buns made is more loose, not as firm as the dough made with yeast.These are freshly baked steamed buns, but they are not just out of the pan. To the touch, there is a layer of tough skin on the outside, which is slightly cold. After tearing, the inside is warm, and the temperature is just right for the mouth.

Take a bite of the original noodle fragrance, add pickles to add to the meal, Su Ruoyan ate two five-centimeter-wide steamed buns in a row, and reached out to touch the third one, but was stopped by Qin Chengyu, "No more."

Su Ruoyan gave up and sucked her fingers, "Okay, I won't eat."

After breakfast, Su Ruoyan did what he could to help, such as mixing stuffing. The finished meat stuffing was whipped vigorously in one direction. It took a little time and effort to do this, but it was not hard.

The two worked so hard that they didn't even know that someone was coming to the house. They didn't find out until their grandparents pushed the kitchen away.

"Grandma!" Su Ruoyan shouted in surprise.

Grandpa coughed, Su Ruoyan frowned, "Grandpa~"

After giving the grandson a look of "it's not too bad", the grandparents entered the house.

"How much dough did you make?" Grandma asked after looking at the finished steamed buns.

"One hundred catties."

Hearing this number, the two elders were startled, "So many!"

"It's done for the whole family, not much."

"You are determined, but it depends on the two of you to make a hundred catties of noodles, and the noodles will be too sour. If we don't come here today, wouldn't we be tired after working all day?" Grandpa shook his head, and the two children were heartbroken. It's good, but I didn't estimate it well, and I didn't call for help. Two people did one hundred catties, and I couldn't lift my arms after I finished.

When Qin Chengyu smoked the cage drawer for the fifth time, he regretted it a little. He felt that he was ill-considered, and was about to call someone to help.

Grandma didn't say much, she just took off her clothes, put on an apron, washed her hands, put on sleeves and started to cook. She pushed and pushed Su Ruoyan, who disliked her grandson for making meat stuffing, let her do it, "Scallion stuffed with pork ?”

"Ang, Daqin likes to eat this." Su Ruoyan likes to eat pure meat and red bean paste, and then remembered the moon cakes filled with lotus paste, so he added some lotus paste that was not thoroughly ground.

"Yeah." Grandma nodded, and looked around the table, "Why is there no ginger?"

"Ah?" Su Ruoyan also searched for it, er, it was not there, "I forgot."

Grandpa laughed beside him, "How can I get rid of the fishy smell without ginger? I'll wash it and bring it here."

"Scrape the outer skin, cut into cubes, pour cold water on it, and use ginger water for the stuffing."

Grandpa has never cooked seriously in his life, and the only few times he did it ended in failure. After a lifetime, grandma, who knows his wife very well, asked him several times.It is also to avoid turning on the big faucet when washing to avoid splashing on the body, and it is also to be careful when holding the knife.He was also talking non-stop, and the grandfather said that he knew it, that he thought it was troublesome, but judging by the expression on his face, he was also happy.

Su Ruoyan suddenly looked at Qin Chengyu, who was also looking at him, and smiled at each other.
