Look at the boiling green water, and then look at the Ling Bao with eyes full of curiosity.
Cheng Yi was suddenly enlightened and felt a little embarrassed at the same time.
What should I do if my sister seems to be smarter than him? He looked at the pot of green water and all he thought of was...nothing came to mind, but Ling Bao thought that they could dye the steamed buns green.
"Is it okay?" Ling Bao asked eagerly.
Cheng Yi said uncertainly: "It should be okay...Brother, come here quickly!"
If you are in doubt, just ask your elder brother!
Cheng Yun was working hard on the barbecue. He had eaten barbecue before, but it was always cooked and served by others. This was his first time doing it himself, so he was a little confused.
Hearing Cheng Yi call him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Dad, take a look first!"
After saying that, he ran away quickly. He really had no talent for cooking at all.
"What are you calling me for?" Cheng Yun wiped the sweat from his work and washed his hands.
Ling Bao: "Brother, look quickly!"
Cheng Yun glanced at it and didn't understand: "What's wrong, you want me to beat the eggs?"
If he wasn't worried about egg shells in the soup, he could give it a try.
"No, no, big brother, look, the water used to blanch the spinach is green!" Ling Baoke was excited, dancing and pointing out the key.
Cheng Yun was stunned for a moment and took a closer look. It was really green.
But so what?
He didn't know why, and looked at Ling Bao strangely. When he met the respectful and shining eyes, he suddenly felt blessed: "You mean, use spinach to dye steamed buns?"
Seeing that his eldest brother had the same idea as him, Ling Bao nodded like a fool, his eyes shining: "Brother, do you think it's okay too?"
Cheng Yun thought for a moment and realized that spinach was meant to be eaten, so adding it to the dough would naturally do no harm.
He remembered Qingtuan, a traditional Jiangnan pastry he had eaten before. It was green and said to be made of green mugwort.
Since green mugwort can be used, there is no reason why spinach cannot be used.
"Of course." Cheng Yun rubbed her little head and praised, "Ling Bao is so smart."
"Great!" Lingbao cheered happily, "We have another one."
At this time, the king said: "Since we can have yellow and green, can we also have other colors?"
Ling Bao was startled for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, yes!
We already have two colors, why not just get a few more? There are seven colors in the rainbow!
"Big brother, second brother!" Ling Bao took their hands, one in each hand, "We can get more colors, like a rainbow, it's so beautiful!"
The two of them suddenly realized, yes, they can definitely get a few more colors and mix them up and sell them!
"But besides spinach, what else can be dyed?" Cheng Yi asked.
Ling Bao frowned and thought for a while, but didn't think of it.
"Your Majesty, do you have books about these in the library?"
"should have."
That's a library!
Then Ling Bao felt relieved and went to look for it in the evening.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it now, let's think about it slowly together."
While they were talking, Cheng Yi had already prepared spinach, egg and tofu soup, poured it into a large basin, and motioned for them to go out together.
Cheng Zhongqian turned the meat skewers over and raised his chin to Cheng Yun: "The ones you grilled just now were left there."
Cheng Yun looked towards the table and was silent for a long time: "Dad, did you burn it for me?"
Cheng Zhongqian scolded: "Why did I burn it for you? I just got it and it was like this! You are also capable. You only need to turn the barbecue over and you can bake it like this."
Cheng Yi, who personally asked his eldest brother to help, could not escape the punishment: "And you, knowing that your eldest brother has no such talent, you still let him barbecue. Isn't this a waste of food?"
Cheng Yi felt that he was so wronged!
Little did he know that his eldest brother could even burn barbecue into charcoal!
But dad now knows not to waste food, which is really unexpected.
Cheng Yun: "..."
He tried to defend himself: "I was fine when I handed it to you, dad..."
Cheng Zhongqian sneered and stopped talking immediately.
Ling Bao came over to take a look and commented innocently: "It really looks like charcoal, as black as charcoal."
Cheng Yun felt a little pain in his heart.
"Would adding this make it black?" Ling Bao poked at the charcoal, picked it up and took a bite. One of his baby teeth almost fell out, "It seems like it won't work."
Afraid of hurting her elder brother's heart, she said euphemistically: "It's not unpalatable, but it will chip the guests' teeth, so that's not good."
Cheng Yun held his forehead, dumbfounded.
He looked at his hands, why were they so unsuitable for cooking?
The meat skewers are moderately fat and lean, and crackle when grilled. The fat is baked out, and it is oily. It is already fragrant without seasoning.
Lingbao was squatting next to the fire, drooling so greedily that it was about to drool. There is no need for you to say anything, because it had already drooled out and formed a small puddle on the ground.
In the past, Lingbao could only eat a bite of meat during the Chinese New Year, but now he can eat it at least twice a month, not to mention often.
Moreover, she had never seen barbecue in this form, let alone eaten it. It turned out to be so delicious!
The family ate and drank and ate everything on the table.
Ling Bao's belly is bulging up, like a small ball.
“Hiccup—” Still hiccuping!
Cheng Yi touched his sister's round belly and laughed: "It's so fun."
Lingbao pushed his hand away, and he came up to touch it.
How annoying!
As a result of eating too much, Ling Bao found that all the elm trees by the river were in bloom after wandering around the village.
"Brother, the elm money has grown. Let's take care of it tomorrow!"
"What is elm money?"
Lingbao pointed to the big elm money tree next to it: "That's it. It's round in shape, like a copper coin."
There were elm coins on the ground that others had dropped while stroking them. Lingbao picked them up and showed them: "Look! It's edible!"
Cheng Yi was surprised and said: "Can this be eaten too?"
Since coming to Beihe Village, he has learned a lot about edible things.
In addition to being delicious, another reason is that Yuqian is homophonic to "surplus money". There is a saying that after eating "Yuqian" you can have "surplus money". Who doesn't want to have surplus money in every household? Isn't this what we look forward to all year round?
Of course I like to eat it.
"We can make Yuqian steamed buns, Yuqian steamed buns are also delicious."
Cheng Yun asked: "Oh? What else can be done?"
Ling Bao smiled broadly, flexed his fingers and said, "That's a lot, Yuqian rice, Yuqian pancakes, Yuqian nests, Yuqian porridge, steamed Yuqian...ah, they're all delicious!"
As I talked, I almost drooled with greed again.
Cheng Yun was really curious as to how someone could talk so attractively that the person talking wanted to taste the food in her mouth. This chapter has been completed!
