Chapter 9 Grandpa's Teaching

It was already a week later when I returned home again.

In the end, Liu's mother couldn't survive and left on the third day after her grandfather and grandson arrived after hearing the news.

As a filial son, Yang Zhenxing finally gave Mother Liu a ride.

Feeling sad and tired, he returned home and slept for a whole day and night before he managed to regain some energy.

When I went home this time, Liu Jianye also came back with me. Compared with Yang Zhenxing, his condition was much worse. After he came back, he fell ill and had a serious fever.

His father had to deal with follow-up matters and was unable to take good care of his son, so he temporarily entrusted Liu Jianye to the care of the Yang family.

After getting up, Yang Zhenxing put on his clothes very carefully, glanced at Faxiao who was still sleeping, and left his room quietly.

After returning home, Yang Xingsheng has been taking care of his two children at home and has not gone out to work. At this time, he is continuing to copy books in the house.

Yang Zhenxing stood at the door and knocked on the door. After seeing his grandfather stop writing, he asked:

"Grandpa, do you want to wake the dog up and take medicine?"

"Let him sleep for a while. The medicine will have to be fried for a while. You can take the notebook and bring back this month's sesame paste. I will make sesame noodles for you at noon."

Yang Zhenxing did not act immediately. He hesitated a little and asked with some depression and worry:

"Is the dog okay like this? I heard him crying under the quilt for a long time last night."

"Hey, these are things that we must experience and face in life. Life still needs to go on, and your life still needs to go on. How can people become sensible and mature without going through ups and downs?

One day in the future I will also pass away. I hope you won’t be so sad. Living your life well is the best way to remember me!"

"Grandpa, you are in good health, why are you saying such things?" Yang Zhenxing became a little anxious when he heard what his grandfather said.

"Didn't you originally say that you wanted to see me get married and have children? You can't just keep your word!"

"Haha!" Yang Xingsheng touched his grandson's head to reassure him not to worry.

"Grandpa is just kidding you. Hurry up and get dressed to make sesame paste. Don't eat it by yourself on the way! If you eat it, Jianye won't be able to eat more."

After going out to buy sesame paste, Yang Zhenxing wrote more than a hundred words in the yard.

Liu Jianye in the room had just woken up at this time.

In fact, he woke up long ago, but he just lay in bed in a daze with no intention of getting up. Maybe he heard that Yang Zhenxing was not making much movement in the yard, and he became curious to see what he was doing.

"Brother Yang,"

Yang Zhenxing was born earlier than Liu Jianye, and he kept calling him brother, "What are you doing?"

Hearing Liu Jianye's words, Yang Zhenxing bent down and stood up. He even ignored his beloved brush, put it on the ground, turned around and ran over.

"Gouzi, are you awake? Take a shower and drink the medicine quickly. Grandpa will make sesame sauce noodles for us at noon. If you don't drink the medicine early, you won't have enough stomach for noodles at noon!"

"Oh Brother Yang, I listen to you."

Liu Jianye's complexion looks much better today than when he came back yesterday.

After being led back to the house to wash his face by Yang Zhenxing, he looked at the place where the Yang family now lives for the first time.

"Brother Yang, I didn't expect you to live in such a big courtyard now! Are you and grandpa the only ones living there? Your original dream has come true!"

Yang Zhenxing didn't want to treat him like the children in the alley outside when he was young, so he resisted showing off and made a few casual remarks.

"Oh, grandpa said this was originally our house. Now there are only two of us in the house. There are not many people, so there are more empty houses. You can ask your father later to see if you two can move here together."

He wanted to move in together, but Liu Jianye resisted the urge.

"Our family lives in a building. Dad said it is the dormitory of his work unit. It is close to where he works and is more convenient than before."

"Okay, but you can come and live here for a few months during your school holidays. I have met two good friends here. They are both very nice people and know a lot of games. I will introduce you to them later."

Yang Xingsheng, who had been copying books in his room, saw Liu Jianye waking up and went to their room to add some briquettes and turn on the stove.

After reheating the medicine, Liu Jianye was asked to drink it while it was hot, and he was allowed to warm himself by the stove and sweat.

On the side, he started kneading dough for lunch.

While kneading the dough, I saw two children on one side looking at it curiously, so I couldn't help but start introducing it.

"Although you are not required to become chefs in the future, you still need to know some basic life knowledge recently, otherwise you will not understand anything and will be laughed at."

Yang Zhenxing knew the reason, so he knew what his grandfather was referring to.

But Liu Jianye didn't know, and asked curiously: "Grandpa, what kind of life knowledge? I will not be a cook in the future, I will be a scientist!"

Not paying attention to his reaction, Yang Xingsheng nodded and continued his story.

"Scientists are very good, but scientists also have to cook and eat. Otherwise, if you don't know how to cook in the future, you will have to starve at home. There is no harm in learning more.

Just like you see me kneading dough now, it seems very simple. Just add water and keep kneading it with your hands. In fact, there is a lot of knowledge involved.

First of all, there are several types of flour, each of which is different. The methods and uses of flour are also various. Making different foods requires different methods. A little understanding of it will also be helpful to you in your future life. "

After hearing the answer, Liu Jianye didn't react much, but Yang Zhenxing on the side became interested.

"Grandpa, since you have so much knowledge, can you briefly tell us about it?"

"Even if you don't tell me, I will teach you sooner or later."

Rubbing the dough off his fingers, Yang Xingsheng used a small spoon to take a small spoonful of flour from the food cabinet.

"Four is generally divided into several types. The most common ones are wheat flour ground into wheat flour, which can be divided into low-gluten, medium-gluten, and high-gluten. The rest is mostly flour ground from other grains, such as corn noodles, bean noodles, etc. I mainly

What I want to tell you is the most common wheat flour.”

"It's all wheat flour, why can it be divided into several different types?" Yang Zhenxing didn't understand.

"This brings me to the point!"

Yang Xingsheng was very happy that his grandson had such a high curiosity about food. He was not angry at interrupting his explanation, but continued to explain happily.

"Your question is a good one, and this is what I want to talk about next.

Wheat flour is divided into different types due to the protein content in it. High-gluten flour has high protein content, is dark and smooth in color, and is not easy to knead into balls by hand;

Medium-gluten flour has a moderate protein content and is the most common at home. It can be used for steamed buns, pancakes, and cut noodles. Low-gluten flour has the lowest protein content and is very loose. It can be kneaded into balls with just a pinch. Many snacks and biscuits outside are made of this flour.

Made from flour.

The spoonful of flour I have in my hand now is all-purpose flour. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will bring back some high-gluten and low-gluten flour for you to compare and understand."

Children are young. Although they are naughty and lively, they are also thirsty for knowledge and want to know more.

The two of them carefully memorized the knowledge that Yang Xingsheng told them. One planned to show off to his good friends later, and the other planned to go back and see his father to show off to him.

Seeing the happy expressions on the two children's faces that they had learned something, Yang Xingsheng nodded slightly, looking very pleased.

Don't worry about whether Yang's time-honored brand will be opened again in the future, but at least future generations can't be devoid of any cooking skills.
