Nanshanxia

Chapter 23

"What? Is there any good?" The old lady Zhu suddenly got up from the stone stool, stood there silent for a while, and then walked towards the door, muttering, "Our boss has always been so narrow-minded. I didn’t wish the second child much, I have to go and have a look to prevent the second child from playing tricks again.”

"Grandma, I'll go with you too." Zhu Yan quickly caught up with the old lady Zhu, and when the old lady looked at him, she explained again and again, "Grandma is a woman after all, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat Mrs. Two them."

"My eldest nephew, you are wrong. If your grandma beats someone up, none of us can compare." After Zhu Boss finished speaking, he walked into the yard from the door. Rubbing his hands together with embarrassment, he explained, "I knew you were worried about me. When I heard that Li Lanhua and the others wanted to drink with me, I ran back without saying a word."

The old lady Zhu, who was very anxious at first, relaxed after seeing Boss Zhu, she returned to her original sitting position, looked up at Boss Zhu, nodded with satisfaction, "You are smart, if I find out If you tell outsiders what happened at home again, I will sew your mouth shut with a needle."

Boss Zhu shivered in fright at the old lady Zhu's words, and hurriedly defended himself, "After the lesson from last time, how dare I tell outsiders about our family? , but I'm still a little puzzled, what exactly do they want to know when they pester me so much?"

The old lady Zhu gave Boss Zhu a blank look, and took the conversation away, "Of course they want to trick our family into making tofu and bean curd. Why did I give birth to such a fool like you?"

"..."

Boss Zhu on the other end stopped talking, and Zhu Yan then said, "They must have seized on the reason why uncle is usually talkative, so they chose to start with uncle. This time they failed, and there will probably be a next time, uncle and everyone Be careful, don't be taken advantage of by them."

"That's right, from now on, none of you are allowed to talk about family affairs with others. When you see Zhu Er Er and his family, you will take a detour, you know?" The old lady Zhu told everyone in the family that everyone understood, just now Go to prepare lunch with Bai Zhen.

Zhu Yan was not idle, and led Yuan Xiao to pick beans in his big yard. The good beans he picked out were reserved for grinding tofu tomorrow, and the bad beans were naturally not thrown away, but used for homemade tofu.

On the other side, Boss Zhu ground two pieces of tofu with the bad beans that Zhu Yan had accumulated, and showed it to Zhu Yan, "Ah Yan, look at the tofu made from these less-quality beans, isn't it pretty good!"

Zhu Yan glanced at the two square pieces of white and tender tofu in front of him, and then laughed, "It's really good, and uncle's craftsmanship is also good."

"Hehe, you're the only one who can talk. I'll ask your aunt to make fried bean dregs for us in a while." Boss Zhu was originally a very easy-to-satisfy person. Go in the direction of the kitchen.

Zhu Yan was left alone in the yard, reflecting on the fried bean dregs that the boss said. The family lived a frugal life. Yuan Xiao, who was carefully picking beans, said, "Yuan Xiao, do you think it's delicious to make food with bean dregs?"

"Well, it's delicious, what's the matter, Ah Yan?" Yuan Xiao stopped his work of picking beans, and quietly waited for Zhu Yan's next words.

At this moment, Zhu Yan also began to think about his new ideas. His tofu stall will develop into a shop in the future. It is impossible to rely on the current tofu, tofu and soy milk to maintain business. Everyone likes to eat it for a while, but every day It’s like this, over time, there will be no novelty and everyone will get tired of eating it, so it will be difficult to make money in the future. He must research new food when the bean curd is still fresh, so as to attract more diners. Sometimes, he needs someone to study with him, so as not to be suspected. Thinking of this, he looked at Yuan Xiao even more enthusiastically, "Do you think anyone will eat the leftover bean dregs made into dry food?"

"Dry food?" Yuan Xiao's face was flushed red by Zhu Yan's non-stop discharge eyes, and it was really difficult for him to answer now, but for Zhu Yan, he still thought hard for a long time, "The bean dregs, I have only eaten fried bean dregs, but I have never tried making it into dry food, what kind of dry food does Ah Yan want to make?"

Zhu Yan also pretended to be very distressed, and muttered, "I didn't think about it, I just thought that the bean dregs look soft, and they should be steamed in a steamer like our cornmeal, but as for How to do it I really don't know."

"Hey, let me give it a try." Yuan Xiao always followed Zhu Yan, but now he saw that Zhu Yan was distressed, so he wanted to step forward to help, he straightened up and looked towards the kitchen, and found that the food was almost ready He took Zhu Yan's hand and suggested, "Ah Yan, let's go and see how much bean dregs are left. Just tell me what you want to do, and I will help you find a way."

"it is good!"

The two of them acted vigorously and went to the kitchen to explain the situation to Mrs. Zhu. With Mrs. Zhu's consent, they began to fiddle with bean dregs in the kitchen.

The bean dregs are not as white as white flour, but the whole body is a kind of dark milky white. It feels soft and soft and not as firm as white dough, but the advantage is that it is cheap.

"Ah Yan, my aunt said that she finished frying and steaming the rice, so we will use the pot for us. Let's wash our hands first." Yuan Xiao brought a basin of clean water, washed his hands with Zhu Yan, and prepared to cook. meal.

Zhu Yan came back to his senses and found that he and Yuan Xiao were the only ones left in the kitchen, so he relaxed even more. After washing his hands, he began to study the method of bean dregs with Yuan Xiao.

Bean dregs can be eaten together with white flour pancakes, but there is very little white flour at home and the cost is high. Zhu Yan makes bean dregs cakes mainly to make money, and if the asking price is high, diners are not easy to accept.

Therefore, Zhu Yan replaced the white flour with cornmeal, which is plentiful in the farm, and mixed the bean dregs and cornmeal with an appropriate amount of water to ferment for a while, and then kneaded the dough to make a dough.

"Ah Yan, what are you going to do after this?" Yuan Xiao rolled up his sleeves to help Zhu Yan knead the dough. This dough is first pressed into the shape of a cake, and then baked in a pan?"

"Yes, yes, Yuan Xiao is smarter!" Zhu Yan deliberately pretended to be difficult, mainly because he wanted Yuan Xiao to cooperate with his performance, after all, he was originally a fool, and if he did too much, he would definitely attract suspicion from others.

With the help of Yuan Xiao, Zhu Yan took the rapeseed oil that Mrs. Zhu deliberately left in the kitchen, and baked cakes in the kitchen. Before the cakes were cooked, they attracted all the old and young from the old Zhu's family.

Zhu Chunya, who usually likes to eat the most, can't control herself at all at this moment. Regardless of Bai Zhen's obstruction, she rushed to the kitchen, looking at the big golden pancakes in the pot, swallowing her saliva, her eyes were extremely hungry Staring at Zhu Yan, "Brother Yan, it doesn't look like an ordinary corn tortilla, it's much more fragrant than corn tortillas."

"Yes, this smell is not oily, Ah Yan, what kind of cake is this?" The old lady Zhu also followed Zhu Chunya into the kitchen, and seeing that all the oil she had left was not used up, she was overwhelmed by the pot again. I like the fragrant and fuel-efficient pancakes even more.

Seeing that everyone was curious, Zhu Yan didn't hold back, "Yuan Xiao and I made this cake with bean dregs. I don't know if it's good or not."

"Looking at it like this, I know it must be delicious!" Zhu Chunya's eyes were completely focused on the few golden pancakes in the pot. As for the others, they were no longer important to her.

In fact, Zhu Chunya's words were correct. Bean dregs tortillas have become the object of competition since they were taken out of the pot.

The bean dregs tortillas are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, giving people a different experience in terms of taste. The bean aroma of the bean dregs and the sweetness of the corn flour have conquered everyone's taste buds. With the bean dregs tortillas, everyone has a more delicious lunch up.

After lunch, Zhu Yan had nothing to do, so he agreed to Yuan Xiao’s request to go to the mountain to pick wild fruits together. It is the end of summer, and the wild fruits in the woods are at their best. Sentimental and with the sweetness of early autumn, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao walked on the path in the forest one after the other. He watched Yuan Xiao keep picking all kinds of wild fruits, and also followed up to help.

Yuan Xiao picked a lot of mulberries, turned around and looked at Zhu Yan expectantly in a place that he couldn't reach, "Ah Yan, help me pick more."

Zhu Yan couldn't stand Yuan Xiao's big eyes that could talk. Seeing Yuan Xiao showing weakness, he took off the basket on his shoulder, climbed up the tree in two or three strokes, and carefully helped Yuan Xiao pick mulberries, "Yuan Xiao , you take the backpack and carry on, and I'll pick some more for you."

"Yeah!" Yuan Xiao heard that his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, and he held the basket and looked up, waiting for Zhu Yan to throw fruit into it.

Zhu Yan picked some of the largest mulberries from the old mulberry tree, ate one himself, and gave the rest to Yuan Xiao, "Yuan Xiao, these should be the biggest mulberries on the tree, you can eat them while they are fresh." Eat it!"

Yuan Xiao caught the mulberries thrown by Zhu Yan with his back basket, and easily found the big mulberries in the back basket, and stuffed them all into his mouth with a smile, "Ah Yan, these mulberry fruits are so sweet, they are really a blessing." It’s such a blessing.”

The sudden appearance of the name made Zhu Yan hold the tree trunk and think for a long time. Then he remembered that Zhaofu was a friend they met in the town. He said at the right time, "So Yuan Xiao, you came to the mountain this time to pick fruits for Zhaofu?"

"That's right, I told Zhaofu that there are a lot of wild fruits to eat on the mountain, and he became greedy. I thought about picking some for him to try." Yuan Xiao looked up at Zhu Yan on the tree who was constantly wiping away his sweat, and felt a little bit of pain in his heart. Pulling, he turned the subject and said, "Ah Yan, it's almost done, come down quickly, the afternoon sun is still a little bit hot."

"Success." Zhu Yan was also too hot to bear, so he jumped down from the tree, raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Xiao carefully, and when he realized that Yuan Xiao was a little embarrassed, he grinned and said, "It's also good for you to make more friends." Okay, we can still play and whisper with them in the future."

"Hmph, I don't need it." Yuan Xiao turned his head to look elsewhere, very dissatisfied with Zhu Yan's words.

Yuan Xiao's snort was like a kitten's claw, scratching Zhu Yan's heart very itchy, and at the same time he was very puzzled by Yuan Xiao's attitude, "You don't need it, why do you have to pick it off for him?" fruit?"

"Because Ah Yan needs it."

"I need it? You didn't say that the mulberry fruit was for attracting blessings, why are you giving it to me now?" Zhu Yan was bewildered.

Seeing that Zhu Yan didn't react, Yuan Xiao simply said all his thoughts. He is not a person who treats people well silently. If he wants to treat others well, he must let that person know. There is nothing to hide. He sees Xiang Zhuyan fixed his eyes, "Because Qi Lianhai is the town's yamen servant, Ah Yan needs his help, and Lu Zhaofu is Qi Lianhai's heart, I can't do it if you ask me to please Qi Lianhai, but I will still please Lu Zhaofu." made……"

"Then you are..." Zhu Yan never thought that Yuan Xiao would do this for himself. His heart has softened so much now. He looked at Yuan Xiao's delicate face and that long, curly face. Eyelashes, he looked fascinated again.

Yuan Xiao met Zhu Yan's eyes, his eyes were full of images of Zhu Yan, he continued, "That's right, as long as you want Ah Yan, I can help you get it."

"Yuan Xiao, you're like this..." Zhu Yan finally couldn't bear it any longer. He held Yuan Xiao's cheek and was about to kiss it when he was distracted by a series of conversations between men and women.
