Bake the buns, steam them for fifteen minutes after the heat comes up. As soon as the lid of the pot is lifted, the aroma seduces several children. They surround the stove, their eyes are bright, and they keep talking. Sniffling.
Zhao Yulian dipped her hands in cold water, picked up the buns, and placed them one by one on the curtain.
Sun Shuhong carried it out, and several children followed closely like little tails, fearing that they would not be able to eat the buns if they were too late. Cui Jianshe and Zhao Mantian came back, a little embarrassed, and the whole garden was more direct, "It smells so good." Ah, mother, is there meat in it? I can smell meat, it’s so fragrant..."
Sun Shuhong laughed and cursed, "Just like your father, he has a dog nose..."
The whole garden was filled with laughter.
The tiger head was more obvious, and he was drooling with greed for a long time. However, Zhao Yulian usually had good rules, so even if he was greedy, he did not take it, but just looked at Song Hongguo pitifully.
When Sun Shuhong saw this, she couldn't help but laugh and curse, "This is also a little naughty guy..."
He doesn't go to his grandmother who loves him because he knows who has the final say here.
Song Hongguo took one, but didn't give it to him, "It's too hot. Ask grandma to hold it for you and eat slowly..."
"Thank you, cousin." He said in a timid voice, and couldn't wait to sit on Zhao Yulian's lap. Zhao Yulian took the bun, blew it for a few times, then handed it to his mouth, took a sip, and he stared at the delicious smell. Big eyes.
The same is true for several other children. In the past two years, they have not had enough to eat in the countryside. They have been eating wild vegetables all day long. The taste is simply indescribable. They eat some dry food or steamed buns mixed with various coarse grains. , not to mention how it tastes, just the roughness and scratching of the throat is enough to make children suffer every time they eat it.
But now, although the buns in my hand are not made of pure white flour, there are no shells adulterated with wheat bran or the like, and there are no stick cores or tree bark powder that are difficult to swallow. They are delicate, soft, and full of flavor. It’s the aroma of grain, especially the fillings inside, and it’s not those bitter wild vegetables. Carrots are not that rare, but the meat is so expensive. And it’s not just a little bit to borrow the flavor, but a lot of it, which you can eat in your mouth. It's filled with the aroma of meat, and it's so happy that it makes people cry.
Cui Jianshe wiped his eyes and ate the fastest, like a wolf. Zhao Mantian was on the contrary, chewing small bites, as if he was reluctant to eat. Man Yuan leaned on Sun Shuhong and praised while eating, "It's delicious, so good." After eating it, it tastes better than Chinese New Year dumplings..."
When Dumpling heard someone calling his name, he lazily turned his head and glanced at him, then continued to lie at Song Hongguo's feet, looking at her with his dark eyes open.
Song Hongguo was holding a bun and feeding it to Ling Yuan who was sitting in her arms. The bun was too hot, especially after biting it open, the fillings inside had juice seeping out. "Eat slowly, don't burn your mouth..." "
Ling Yuan ate something in his mouth, squinting his eyes and saying "hmm" vaguely.
Ling Zhi glared at him and motioned for him to eat it by himself. How old are you and are you still asking people to feed you?
Ling Yuan didn't listen this time and pretended to be stupid and continued to rely on Song Hongguo. He was really frightened today. It's not too much to act coquettishly in his mother's arms, right?
Lexus, "..."
Zhao Zhenhua was eating steamed buns and looking at the two brothers with a smile on their faces.
Sun Shuhong asked, "What are you so happy about?"
Zhao Zhenhua took a big bite and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, "It's so delicious, can you not be happy?"
"That's true..." Sun Shuhong couldn't help but sigh, and said to Song Hongguo, "It's just costing my cousin money. This is both noodles and meat. You three can eat it for several meals. Now let's ask for it. He came out immediately..."
Song Hongguo said politely, "It's nothing. I don't eat like this every day. It won't affect anything once in a while. Cousin, don't just think about saving it for me. Get another one..."
Sun Shuhong waved her hand, "That's enough, that's enough. I came here after eating. If I'm not hungry, just one meal will be a lot..."
They, a family of three, saw five buns gone.
Zhao Yulian fed more than half of the tiger's head and stuffed the rest into her mouth. She worked vigorously, but ate slowly and carefully. When she saw Song Hongguo handing her another one, she shook her head and said, "I won't eat either." Now, let’s keep it for the two children.”
"Second aunt, please stop being polite to me. I can still afford a few buns..."
Zhao Yulian remembered that she had helped to get so much food before, so she took it without giving in, chewing it in small mouthfuls, as if tasting some rare delicacies.
"Are you guys full?"
How can you be full with such delicious food? But the children were not ignorant, they all nodded and said, "I'm full, thank you cousin..."
Seeing this, Song Hongguo didn't continue to give in enthusiastically. A sense of propriety is still very important in dealing with people, especially now. Being too generous is not necessarily a good thing. "Then drink some more tea..." …”
"good……"
The tea was also delicious, much better than the water made from dried mulberry leaves at home. The children held the cups carefully and drank with gusto.
Sometimes, happiness is so simple. A delicious steamed bun meal can make them unforgettable for a lifetime. Even if they make money in the future and sit in a several-star hotel and eat a meal carefully cooked by a famous chef, they will never be able to taste it again. Delicious to this moment.
After finishing the meal, there were four buns left on the curtain. It was not that they could not finish them all, but that no one was embarrassed to eat them. Naturally, Song Hongguo understood the problem and wrapped two portions in cotton gauze and gave one to Zhao Yulian. Give one portion to Zhao Zhenhua, "That's it. Let's give it to my uncle and uncle to try."
The two of them did not refuse, and they also had a set of drinking cups and a bag of barley tea given by Song Hongguo. In addition, they also packed half a catty of snacks brought back from the city. Through the oil paper, you could smell the aroma of twists and sesame cakes. Son.
When the children left, they were not empty-handed. Man Yuan and Hu Tou were blowing bird whistles, and Zhao Mantian and Cui Jianshe held a glass ball tightly in their hands.
This was not the most exciting thing for them. The most exciting thing was that Song Hongguo promised them to teach them to use cardboard to make handguns when they were free, the kind that could be used to make orders. When they thought of this, they were so excited. Call.
After Zhao Zhenhua returned home, he took the things to the main room. When Zhao Baoqing saw him, he glared at him, "Why are you so shameless when you even eat and take things? You don't know what politeness means when you look at your cousin's generosity. It's a favor." , Only by going back and forth can we get together, look what you are doing, is this what I usually teach you?"
Zhao Baoqing's wife also scolded him with disapproval, "These things are very expensive. It's a courtesy for others to give them. If you just accept them, what will our family give you in return?"
Zhao Zhenhua waited for the two of them to finish scolding, then he spread his hands and said, "What can I do? My cousin said, this is to be filial to you two. It's just two buns. How can I keep giving in to my cousin so much? That's a lot. It's shabby. Besides, there is the second aunt here. She also took it. I would be disrespectful to my cousin if I didn't take it. As for the snack, my cousin said that it was a specialty she brought back from playing in the city. Let me try it for you. Taste it, and there are cups, because I bought them directly from the ceramics factory, no need to roll them, and it’s very affordable, so I brought a set with me. Tell me, my cousin mentioned this, why should I refuse?”
