"What are you looking at?"
Hu Lai raised his hand and waved it in front of Liu Ruixuan.
"Nothing." Liu Ruixuan smiled and turned his head.
"Did you find that I'm much more handsome?"
Hu Lai brought his face closer and winked at Liu Ruixuan and smiled.
"Heh." Liu Ruixuan chuckled, "Yes, you are the most handsome, the most handsome next to me."
"That's not true." Hu Lai shook his neck immodestly, "I am very popular with female classmates."
"Heh. Okay. Let me give you some color. Can you open a soy sauce shop?"
Liu Ruixuan glanced at Hu Lai and pointed at the dough in front of him, "Should we just roll it out?"
"Huh?" Hu Lai snorted, "What were you doing just now, didn't you see it?"
"I'm learning from you," Liu Ruixuan snorted, "I just remember you painted green onions."
"Hehe," Hu Lai smiled and turned his face again, "You're not secretly missing your cousin, are you?"
"You deserve a beating." Liu Ruixuan raised his hand towards Hu Lai's smiling face. After thinking about it, he stopped mid-air and kicked him with his left foot.
Come on, it's true.
Unexpectedly, he was hit.
"Ouch." Hu Lai said in pain, "You have the ability to beat your cousin."
"I don't hit girls." Liu Ruixuan snorted, "How do we start? Hurry."
"First divide the dough into two parts, then roll it into a pancake, then spread it with chopped green onion..."
Hu Lai rubbed his kicked right leg, pointed at the pile of noodles on the chopping board, and started teaching seriously.
"Stop!" Liu Ruixuan stopped him, "I understand."
"Okay." Hu Lai stopped and looked at Liu Ruixuan quietly. After thinking for a while, he went to the house and brought out a bamboo chair. He sat on Liu Ruixuan's left side and started supervising the work.
Liu Ruixuan moved his hands left and right, and with a strong movement of his hands, the dough was split into two in an instant. Then he kneaded it in his hands, put it on the chopping board and pressed it. He took the rolling pin and started rolling it while shaking it from side to side.
Hey, he suddenly discovered that the oval shape that had been so easy in his hand suddenly turned into an irregular shape in his hand, swinging left and right on the chopping board, not obeying his orders.
"Okay, okay. It's too long." Hu Lai waved his hand repeatedly, "Pick it up and adjust it. It's too long."
"Oh." Liu Ruixuan looked up and took a look, then reached out to pick up the noodles spread out on the chopping board, only to find that he couldn't pick them up and was stuck to the chopping board.
He looked at Hu Lai blankly.
Hu Lai scratched his head out of habit and said, "Brother, you forgot to add flour under the dough."
Liu Ruixuan twitched the corners of his mouth and blinked: "Then what should we do now?"
"What should I do? Of course I have to pull it down by force." Hu Lai stretched out his hand and made a pulling motion.
"Okay." Liu Ruixuan curled his lips and pulled off the extremely irregular dough. In an instant, the thin and ugly cake was pulled into several strands and held in Liu Ruixuan's hand.
Hu Lai couldn't help laughing.
"Rui, you are so good." Hu Lai raised his hand and patted Liu Ruixuan on the shoulder, "No one is perfect, you are right."
Liu Ruixuan curled his lips, glanced at Hu Lai, and without saying a word, he kneaded the shapeless dough again and again, and then kneaded it into the original shape of dough.
"Yo? It's okay."
Hu Lai, who originally wanted to help, stepped back and left the table to chat.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruixuan raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways at Hu Lai, and continued to knead the dough in his hand.
"Okay, okay, it's almost done." Hu Lai couldn't help but interrupt, "If you knead it any longer, it will be too hard and not tasty."
"Yeah." Liu Ruixuan nodded, grabbed a large handful of flour and put it on the chopping board. Then he put the dough on it, pressed it with his hands, took the rolling pin, and started rolling it out again.
This time, he suddenly had an idea and counted silently in his mind. When he counted to five, he changed the direction of the dough and continued to repeat the same action.
After going back and forth several times, I rolled out an almost perfect circle.
"Ahem," Hu Lai coughed twice, "You have wisdom roots, but this round one is not suitable for placing next to the pot."
"Heh." Liu Ruixuan chuckled, "We don't know how to cook, so the middle must be empty, so just put it in the middle."
"Huh?" Hu Lai was startled for a moment, then nodded, "That makes sense. Then you can continue."
Liu Ruixuan followed the same pattern and rolled out eight or nine pieces of dough in one breath. Except for four round pieces, the others were all oval.
A sense of accomplishment arises in my heart.
"Stop, stop, stop." Hu Lai interrupted Liu Ruixuan's attempt to continue rolling out the dough, and pointed to the bowl on the side, "Apply the scallion oil on it first, otherwise the dough will dry out after a while and it won't stick to the dough."
"Oh!" Liu Ruixuan responded, nodded, put down the rolling pin, took the spoon on the side, filled a spoonful, and spread it on the dough.
"That's wrong, you don't have to apply it on everyone." Hu Lai stopped him and said, "Just apply the middle one between the two."
"Are you afraid that there won't be enough green onions?" Liu Ruixuan responded, but did not stop applying scallion oil. "My mother planted a lot of them under the grape trellis, so don't worry."
"Okay then." Hu Lai responded, "Actually, if you apply more, it will taste better."
Liu Ruixuan smiled, glanced at Hu, took the bowl, scooped it up with a spoon, and poured some more down.
Then, I spread it one by one with a spoon. After applying it, I suddenly felt dizzy. Every piece of green onion was coated and it was difficult to turn it over. When I turned it over, the pure white chopped green onions would fall off.
After thinking about it, forget it and just fold a piece of dough in half.
Done!
Hu Lai looked on, his eyes widening in an instant, Huh?
Is this okay?
Rui is indeed smart!
When there were four of the twelve dough balls left on the chopping board, I suddenly discovered that the scallion oil had bottomed out.
Liu Ruixuan beat the flour on his hand, glanced at Hu, and then walked towards the three fields of green onions under the grape trellis.
"Can you chop green onions?" Hu Lai looked at Liu Ruixuan who came over with more than a dozen green onions and asked, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
"No, but you can learn it. Just chop it into small pieces, right?" Liu Ruixuan snorted and looked at the chopped green onion in his hand, "Is it a lot? Not a lot, right?"
"It's a bit too much. There were so many green onions just now, but my mother only used five green onions?" Hu Lai smacked his mouth, "We still have four more, no, it's eight when you open them. It's okay if there are more. Wait until Aunt Hua comes back. The cooking is ready."
"That's right." Liu Ruixuan nodded and began to clean up the dirt and yellow leaves on the green onions. He walked over to help clean up.
"I'll cut it." After cleaning up, Hu Lai took the green onion and put it on the corner of the table. "You haven't cut it before, so don't cut it."
"Have you ever chopped it?" Liu Ruixuan shook the green onions in his hand, put them on the table, and looked at Hu Lai, "It's as if you are really a great chef."
"I don't have cherry blossoms either," Hu Lai replied seriously, and then laughed again, "I think my mother has done it. So."
"What's the reason?" Liu Ruixuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the kid, "Today, you are here to teach me, not to perform on your own."
"Okay." Hu Lai smiled and stepped back to the right, "Then you can be more careful. This knife looks much brighter than the one I have. I tried it just now and it seems to be pretty fast."
"Don't worry," Liu Ruixuan snorted, gestured left and right, then took a green onion and carefully chopped it into two halves, then carefully folded the two halves in half and cut them in half again.
Repeatedly, a long fat onion was soon chopped into a length shorter than half of a finger.
It's just that it seems to be a bit long.
Liu Ruixuan looked at the pile of green onions in front of him and glanced at Hu: "Is it too long?"
"Yeah." Hu Lai nodded heavily, "I made some gestures and found that it should be about the same size as the nail of my thumb. So it's still a little big."
"Oh." Liu Rui blessing
The left hand held the upper left part of the trap, and the right hand held the chain handle, and moved it from side to side on the pile of half-grown green onions.
Ah! How smart!
Hu Lai on the side looked at the chopped green onions that had become much thinner in an instant, and couldn't help but nod in his heart.
A warm breeze blew by, carrying the smell of ripe grapes.
Liu Ruixuan raised his head and looked at the grape trellis in the yard.
July is here again.
The grapes in the yard are almost ripe again.
Very sweet grapes.
Looking at the vine leaves dancing in the wind, Liu Ruixuan's thoughts were suddenly pulled far away again.
In that not-too-distant memory, there was a girl with two braids. She took a grape with a smile, peeled off the skin of the grape very carefully, and then took a bite of it very elegantly. She smiled, it was so sweet. where.
As he looked at it, he laughed along with him. His mood was as bright and brilliant as the sunshine above his head.
At that moment, he discovered that grapes could also be eaten without their skins. He and Lailai had always swallowed the grapes with their skins on one bite at a time.
Liu Ruixuan smiled, looked away, and continued to cut the green beans in his hand.
July has arrived, can September be far behind?
In two months, he can go to Jingyun.
Thinking like that, I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in my heart.
I wonder, what is my cousin doing in the distant Jingyun at this time?
Are you also like him, when you see grapes, you will also think of the past of going to the wind?
Everything is like the past.
But he always thought of those past events that had gone far away in the gusts of wind. What he also thought of was the cousin who left but never went far.
Over the years, accompanied by a ray of bright sunshine, it came from the depths of memory and softened his entire summer and even his entire childhood.
Liu Ruixuan smiled slightly, hoping that time would pass gradually. Stay with her and smile, enjoy a quiet warmth, and wait for the arrival of the next summer.
