A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

The two of them got up early the next morning. Since they didn't have to go out to the stall anyway, they could avoid the employer who came to their door and catch up on the farm work. They got up early and started steaming flower rolls.

I was busy pulling and splitting bamboo yesterday afternoon, and I was so busy in the evening that I could hardly see clearly before I stopped. The noodles were still in the basin. Fortunately, the weather was cool and the noodles did not go bad.

Gu Zhou followed her and helped to boil two pots of water. He saw her wash her hands and then cut the green onions she picked in the mountains yesterday into thin circles. He couldn't help but feel curious.

"How to do this?"

"I plan to make scallion steamed buns, which are convenient and quick." Shen Wu lowered his head and kept cutting with the help of the firelight from the stove.

She loves to eat this kind of scallion oil steamed buns. Every Chinese New Year, when she steams buns, she would beg her grandma to make a pot of them. The freshly-out-of-the-pot steamed buns don’t need to be accompanied by anything, she can eat several of them just plain.

Speaking of this, Shen Wu thought of the big white steamed buns and watermelon jam. Her family would dry such jam in autumn and winter. Each time, they would make a big pot of it. After it turned black, it would be kept for a long time. Whenever she wanted to eat it, she would dig some out of the jar, slowly boil it with onion pieces, red pepper and water. It tasted best when the bright red oil was boiled out. With the big steamed buns just out of the pot, Shen Wu could eat five of them in one meal.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be distracted for a while, but fortunately he didn't cut his hand. Shen Wu came back to his senses and finished cutting the green onion carefully.

"Can you get me a bowl?"

Gu Zhou had been standing by wanting to help but he didn't know how to do it, so he could only stand aside. Shen Wu saw that he had forgotten to take the bowl and quickly found a job for him to do.

Gu Zhou brought the bowl and watched her throw the chopped onions into the bowl. She then turned to the place where the seasonings were placed and added nearly ten spoons of vegetable oil, scooped in three or four spoons of salt, and then picked up a wooden spoon and stirred it constantly.

After Shen Wu prepared the scallion oil, she put the bowl away, pulled half of the noodles out of the basin and threw them on the chopping board. There was only one chopping board in the house, which was used for both meat, vegetables and noodles. Every time she finished preparing meat and vegetables, she would wash them with a soap bag and put them there to dry. Even if she didn't prepare meat or vegetables, as long as she used the chopping board, she would rinse it with clean water, so it was no big deal to throw the noodles directly on it after cutting the scallions.

Seeing that she was kneading the dough, Gu Zhou helped scoop a spoonful of flour from the flour jar and poured it on the chopping board. Ever since she came to the house and started selling buns, the flour supply was decreasing rapidly and was almost stockpiled by half a bag.

"Thanks"

Shen Wu didn't even raise his head as he carefully deflated the dough. He didn't leave it by the stove as it was cold. Although an experienced dough maker helped to let it rise, it still took quite a long time.

She quickly rolled the dough into the thickness of a thumb, and placed the excess part of the huge dough on the chopping board like a pancake.

Take the prepared scallion oil and put it on, add more, it will taste better if there is enough salt and oil.

He spread the prepared scallion oil with the bottom of a spoon into a thin layer, then randomly chose a direction and began to roll it up while pulling the dough backwards. As the dough was too big, some scallions fell out because the mouth was not sealed in time, which made Shen Wu feel very distressed.

Gu Zhou watched from the side but didn't know where to start, so he had to look at the pot. Seeing that the water was not hot yet, he turned back to watch her make the steamed buns.

She looked like she had done it many times. Although she was a little hesitant at first, she soon became proficient and quickly rolled it into a large roll and placed it on the chopping board.

"I'll trouble you for help now. I'll teach you after I finish cutting." Shen Wu took the knife and cut out four or five pieces without even trying. She had steamed this thing several times in modern times, so it was very easy to make.

It didn't take long to cut everything. After putting the knife away, Shen Wu picked up one at random and taught Gu Zhou step by step.

"Take any one, pinch both sides facing the cut surface, anywhere on it will do, and then flip it in the opposite direction, like this." As she spoke, she flipped it slowly with both hands, and a very simple steamed bun came out.

Gu Zhou looked at it with great curiosity. His hands were clean to begin with, so he just picked one up directly. He thought about her movements, and tried following her instructions. He actually found one.

I just didn't control the strength well, so it's a little crooked, but I can still eat it.

Seeing that he had mastered it, Shen Wu no longer taught slowly, but went straight to maximum speed, making one steamed bun in a few seconds. In less than a minute, she had finished all the cut buns on the table. Of course, she left a few for Gu Zhou to practice.

"These are enough for two pots. The remaining noodles can be used to make scallion pancakes, steamed buns, etc. What do you want to eat?"

Gu Zhou learned how to roll steamed buns, and did not forget to answer her: "Let's do whatever is simple."

"Okay, let's try them all." In Shen Wu's understanding, they were all very simple and anyone could do them, so he might as well do them all. He would have more dough to leaven anyway.
