"One pound of noodles and one pound of water will be exchanged for seven big steamed buns. The remaining water from steaming the steamed buns will be poured back to everyone." Yan Laoer opened his mouth, and the villagers gathered around him to look at the big round steamed buns.
, watch him put the remaining 6 steamed buns on the scale.
One pound and two taels, if you include the one I just gave to the Cui family's wife, it's almost one and a half pounds.
"Did you see that the scale is high? It's definitely not as good as the steamed buns sold in the town. Our noodles are ground coarsely, while other people's noodles are fine, but they are better than pancakes. They are hard and throat-irritating, and they are good for the elderly and children.
Eating with difficulty.
And this water, we can no longer drink raw water in the future, as it will make us sick easily, so we only share this pot of water every day, so we don’t have to set up another stove to boil water." Yan Laoer explained to everyone.
"Brother Yan, can you try another one first?"
Thanks to Sister-in-law Cui's unremitting praise, people in the village yearn for the big steamed buns.
Brother Yan made it clear, we are not going to compare with the thin-wheat buns sold in town.
In other words, if Yan Laoer hadn't steamed this pot of steamed buns in front of them, they really wouldn't have known that with the same noodles, if the pancakes were replaced with steamed buns, there would be so much more.
"Why don't you ask Brother Yan to change it for you?" Sister-in-law Cui helped: "I have a small family, so I won't be able to finish a pound of replacement for fear of spoilage. Who wants to change it? Let's give it half a pound of noodles and half a pound of water. How about our family?
?”
Qi Da's wife tugged at her and whispered: "My family and my sister-in-law will work together to exchange half a catty."
Sister-in-law Cui turned around and saw it was her. She smiled and said, "Sister, let's go back and get water."
Yan Laoer hurriedly stopped the two people: "Sisters-in-law, bring this water over here. We can't give the steamed buns to you tomorrow morning. They need to wake up."
"I know." Sister-in-law Cui rolled her eyes at him, "We all understand that the dough needs to be big and sticky before it can be steamed in the pot...
Really, if I had known it was so simple, what we used to buy in town would be so much cheaper if we made it ourselves." She dragged Qi Da's wife and left muttering.
With the leader in charge, each family would pool their weight together and send a lot of water one after another.
Yan Lao'er took care of everyone, and when everyone left, he actually recorded the numbers of each family accurately.
Yan Laoer: What the hell!
For a small business owner who opens a shop in front of a school, isn’t this a basic act?
The kid often forgets to bring money and wants to eat popsicles. He has a bad memory, so why does he block those little guys at the school gate asking for money?
Li Xuemei saw him kneading the dough, and her forehead was covered with sweat. She felt distressed and said, "Tomorrow, teach them and let them make it by themselves."
Yan Laoer said while covering his face: "They can't even bear to wash their hands with a little water, so why let them do it?"
"Find a few people and watch under our eyes. You will be the supervisor. Otherwise, you will not be able to endure so many things in this day." Li Xuemei suggested.
Yan Laoer thought it would work, "Then I'll discuss it with them tomorrow and see who is willing to come."
The next day, Yan Laoer got up early and steamed two large pots to count. This was because he went to borrow steamers from various stores last night, otherwise he would have been busy for how long.
This morning, everyone ate steamed buns made from home-made wheat.
Drink the boiling water left after steaming the steamed buns.
The rice tastes particularly delicious.
Women from various families are very enthusiastic about learning how to steam steamed buns.
The water was brought to them early. Yan Laoer did not hide anything and patiently explained step by step. He only had one request for them, that their hands must be washed.
Things at the entrance must be hygienic.
As for whether the dough they knead is round or not, it doesn't matter. You can't eat it.
They are all the women in charge of the family, and within two days, they were all mastered.
Yan Laoer relaxed and asked for everyone's opinions, leaving three sisters-in-law who worked particularly neatly and neatly to continue the business of exchanging steamed buns on the water.
Everyone was grateful that he had taught him the art of steaming steamed buns without any secret, and it was obvious from the water that the Yan family was not cheap at all, but they also took the trouble to manage it. Everyone discussed it, and everyone helped with the firewood for steaming steamed buns every day.
Picked it.
Li Xuemei, the person who was not selected, suggested that they knit more straw sandals when they have time.
We all walk every day, so our shoes are expensive.
Although cloth shoes are durable, straw sandals are more convenient to make from materials and can be found everywhere.
Anyone with quick hands can knit a pair in the time it takes to ride in the car every day.
What's more, because of Yan Huaiwen's arrangements, they have a lot of free time.
Country people have a restless temper, and when they have no work to do, they always feel empty inside.
Ever since they listened to Mrs. Yan's words, they would get together to knit straw sandals when they had nothing to do. The good ones would tie the knots with the unskilled ones, and they would talk and laugh. Most of the pain of leaving home had gone away.
Yan Yu watched them stringing up the hanging straw sandals, feeling hot inside.
Those strings of more and more straw sandals, in her eyes, are the wonderful balance of the platform!
She counted the days every day, and finally, it was May 30th.
The countdown to platform opening appears!
"Dad, can you take me out at noon?" Yan Yu begged her father pitifully.
She never wants to be abused by her uncle again!
Uncle...it's not enough just to endorse the book, now he even has to watch her write it!
The sitting posture must be correct and the pen holding posture must be correct...
Her poor little wrist was so weak that it had to bear a load it shouldn't bear.
When the car was driving, she endorsed it, and when the car was parked, she practiced calligraphy.
fall!
Is this the childhood a child should live?
She is still a baby!
Even the eldest brother looked at her with sympathy in his eyes.
The saddest thing is that although Sister Da Ya is also studying, her progress and intensity are completely different from hers.
With contrasting damage multiplied by critical hits...
Yan Laoer carefully looked at Lao Yan not far away.
"Daughter! Your uncle wants to teach you more because he thinks you have a good brain."
Lao Yan stares at you, doesn't it free me?
Yan Laoer smiled flatteringly: "In order not to be illiterate, come on!"
Yan Yu:......
I didn’t expect you to be such a dad!
"Dad, don't think that I don't know. My uncle is in charge of me, so he doesn't have time to take care of you, right? I don't care. If you don't take me out, I will tell my uncle that you have forgotten everything you learned before. Now
I can’t even recognize the characters!” Yan Yu angrily used her trump card.
"Hey, my dear, let's not hurt each other. I'll go talk to your uncle and ask for a leave." Yan Laoer gave in.
It's not that he's afraid that his daughter will report him, but that he really feels sorry for his family's eldest son, and it's because of his children.
"Brother, I want to take Erya out for a walk." Yan Laoer whispered.
Yan Huaiwen looked at him for a while and said yes.
Yan Laoer smiled brightly, and the expression on his face suddenly became vivid.
"Pay attention to safety, go early and come back early." Yan Huaiwen asked: "Borrow Erya a straw hat. The child's face is tender, so don't get sunburned."
Yan Laoer went to find his wife with a smile.
Li Xuemei has recently become involved with the Straw Knitting Detachment of Women and is learning how to knit a pair of quality straw shoes.
When he went over to tell him, the youngest daughter of the Hu family found a small straw hat for him.
After Yan Yu put it on, half of her head was stuck in the straw hat. She pulled it back hard, but her father mercilessly pushed it back.
"The sun is poisonous. If you don't block it, how can you do it? You will suffer."
