Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 793 Wipe tadpoles? (seeking a monthly ticket)

After receiving it, Chen Nian felt the weight, and it was about ten cents.

Looking at Xiao Fugui again, he was already smiling, looking at the money while grinning silly, obviously thinking about how to spend this huge sum of money.

After eating, Chen Nian and Xiao Fugui started to go out to fire a few cannons every once in a while, and then came back to eat melon seeds, peanuts, and sugar, and Chen Nian started making dumplings.

The dumplings made in the afternoon were all eaten at night, so I need to make some more for the next morning.

The custom here is to put a few copper coins in when making dumplings, and whoever can eat the dumplings wrapped with copper coins tomorrow morning means that this year will be better and better, and you can make a fortune.

While busy and chatting happily, Gao Genzhu reviewed the past year, his business has gradually improved, and he recruited such a capable buddy as Chen Nian, but now Chen Nian is no longer a buddy, It's their family.

At the beginning, he just felt that Chen Nian was a young man who was quick at work and worthy of training. When Chen Nian saved Xiao Fugui and was able to teach him how to read and write, he changed his mind and decided to apply what he had learned They are all taught to Chen Nian.

Although he knew that even if all these things were added up, it would not compare to Xiao Fugui's life and the knowledge in Chen Nian's mind, but this was already all he could give.

But as they got along with each other every day, Gao Genzhu also gradually accepted Chen Nian completely, whether he saw Chen Nian helping him educate Xiao Fugui, or now Chen Nian still stayed here as a buddy even if he had money Regardless of his work, he feels that Chen Nian is definitely a trustworthy person.

It's the kind of family you can be with.

Not related by blood, but closer than most relatives.

Including Zhang Chuanfang's thoughts are similar. In fact, she was still wary of Chen Nian at the beginning. After all, if you really want to talk about it, Chen Nian is not too young at 16 years old, and he has reached the point where he can start a family.

But now she also completely regards Chen Nian as her own brother.

In fact, Chen Nian is also the same, every time he enters a dungeon, although his main intention is to get close to the master, but in the process of getting along, he will gradually develop feelings, and finally become a family.

"Another year has passed, and we are also one year older."

During the vigil at night, Gao Genzhu sat by the window and looked at the moon outside, listening to Baijia laughing and saying with emotion.

"Xiao Fugui is now seven years old, and you are old too, and we are all old too."

Seeing Gao Genzhu lamenting the passage of time, as if a passing time, Chen Nian thought for a while: "Brother Genzhu, I was sixteen last year, so I should be seventeen this year."

"You are seventeen years old, so you are eighteen years old." Gao Genzhu turned his head and said with a smile.

"Too."

In this way, they kept watch until after one o'clock in the morning, chatting and chatting, everyone was sleepy, and Chen Nian went back to sleep.

"Another year has passed."

"Thinking back to the last Chinese New Year, it seemed to be a few months ago."

Chen Nian lay on the bed with his eyes closed and thought.

But it wasn't long before he fell asleep too.

Chen Nian woke up early in the morning the next day, and now the crowing of the rooster can't help him at all. The brain seems to have produced antibodies, which can automatically block the crowing of the rooster while sleeping.

After waking up, Chen Nian fetched some water with a bucket, and then boiled a pot of hot water to wash his face and hair.

Gao Genzhu and Zhang Chuanfang also got up after the old years were cleaned up.

"Wake up so early, Chen Nian?"

"Yeah, I'm used to it, and I feel less."

"Then let's wash up first, and cook dumplings later."

"Let me come, brother Genzhu and sister-in-law, you go and wash first, and I will call Xiao Fugui after I cook the dumplings."

"also,"

After Chen Nian went to the side to cook the dumplings, he went back to the room and asked Xiao Fugui to wake up.

"Xiao Fugui has woken up, we have to eat later."

But after Xiao Fugui muttered a few words, he put the quilt over his head and fell asleep again.

"If you keep doing this, we will eat all the dumplings, and you won't be able to eat a single copper coin. But your mother said that whoever eats those copper coins will get it at that time." Chen Nian continued.

But after Xiao Fugui heard this, he just struggled twice and turned over, but he still didn't get up in the end.

Chen Nian had no choice but to say: "We don't have many cannons at home. If you don't want to get up, I'll go out and fire all the cannons."

In the end, before three seconds had passed, Xiao Fugui bounced off the bed, with gum in the corner of his eyes, looking at Chen Nian: "No way! Keep it for me, I want to fire!"

"Okay." Chen Nian nodded.

"Then get dressed and come out, and we'll fire the cannon after dinner. If I don't see you by dinner time, then don't blame me for being merciless."

After Chen Nian finished speaking, he turned around and left the room.

And just after Chen Nian went out, Xiao Fugui was also in a hurry, put on his clothes in a hurry and chased him out.

"Xiao Fugui, it's just in time for you to come, taste it and see if the dumpling is done."

At this time, the dumplings in the pot had already floated up, Chen Nian picked up a dumpling, put it in a bowl and handed it to Xiao Fugui.

And Xiao Fugui first opened the dumplings with chopsticks to see if there were any copper coins inside. After seeing that there were no copper coins, he tasted the dumplings with some disappointment.

"It's ripe!"

"Okay, go call your parents, we're going to have dinner, and we'll go out to fry cow dung after dinner."

After hearing the first part of the sentence, Xiao Fugui was just about to run to ask his parents to have dinner, but after running for two steps, he heard the last two sentences: "I won't go, I won't go, I won't fry cow dung anymore."

"Why?" Chen Nian asked, he thought to himself, shouldn't children always be that stubborn?
Speaking of this topic, Xiao Fugui's face could not help drooping, and he said with a mournful face: "Cow dung is not tasty, it is bitter."

Chen Nian laughed out loud when he heard this.

When making dumplings yesterday, Chen Nian and Zhang Chuanfang each made a few marked ones, but Chen Nian just fell to the bottom when scooping them up.

But Chen Nian didn't care too much, just ate normally, but Xiao Fugui was different, he put three or four into the bowl in a row, but after filling it thoroughly, he found that there was not a single copper plate in it.

So he ate the dumplings in the bowl and continued to pick them back.

"Oh, it's a bit rough again, I seem to have eaten it."

Eating and eating aged, I felt a hard thing in my mouth.

When I spit it out, it turned out to be a copper plate.

Seeing this, Xiao Fugui's forehead turned purple with envy.

But now he is full.

So Chen Nian bewitched Xiao Fugui to eat another one, maybe the next one would be it.

Xiao Fugui listened to Chen Nian's nonsense, and took another one out of it, but he still didn't get any copper coins.

Chen Nian couldn't stand it anymore, and finally started to help Xiao Fugui find it. After finding the marked dumpling, Chen Nian pointed: "Xiao Fugui, I think there should be copper coins in this, what do you think?"

Xiao Fugui stared at the dumpling seriously: "Why do I feel that there is nothing in this?"

"No way, do you think the shape of the edge looks like it's pushed out by copper coins?"

Xiao Fugui looked carefully again: "It seems to be true."

So Xiao Fugui dubiously put the dumpling into his own bowl, dipped it in the vinegar and pricked it with the chopsticks first, but the prick missed and missed, and discouraged, he stuffed the dumpling into his mouth and ate it.

But as soon as I took a bite, I realized that something was not quite right.

"Have!"

"With it, I also get money!"

Xiao Fugui danced happily, spat out the copper plate with vegetables and meat on it, and dropped it on the table with a clang.

After eating the copper coins, Xiao Fugui didn't eat any more. He was just out of breath just now, but now there is absolutely no need to eat any more.

After breakfast, Chen Nian took Xiao Fugui out to play with cannons. Although he didn't fry cow dung, there were still many ways to play the cannonball.

It didn't take long for Xiao Fugui to run out of cannons, and the other children's cannons were also empty, but when Master Liu's son saw this, he said that they had them at home, and he could go back and steal some.

As a result, when Mr. Liu went back to steal the cannon, he happened to meet Mr. Liu.

"Why are you going?"

"I go to the toilet and I want to poop."

But how could Mr. Liu fail to see that his child was lying.

"The toilet is over there, what are you doing here? Are you going to play with firecrackers?"

"Father, I'll just take a few. They've finished firing their cannons. I want to take a few for them."

"Just a few of you kids playing together?"

"No, there is Brother Chen Nian."

"That's fine, let Chen Nian release it when the time comes, don't let it go, just watch it from a distance, last year when a child fired a cannon, his hand was blown up, and his fingers were blown apart,"

When Mr. Liu heard his father's permission, he ran to the warehouse as if oiling the soles of his feet.

When he came out, he already had a lot of firecrackers in his arms.

"Liu Song, your family is really rich and can buy so many cannons." Everyone said enviously.

Only Xiao Fugui thought in his heart, I will earn a lot of money in the future, and I will buy a room full of firecrackers to play with.

Speaking of envying him is actually envious, but he knows that his family has no money, and Mr. Liu's family is rich, but he also knows that the money belongs to others, and envy is useless.

But soon he started playing with the children again.

The children didn't dare to set off the cannons, so they split the middle of the cannons to release flowers. If they wanted to hear the cannons explode, they asked Chen Nian to release them.

However, the creativity of these children is still very rich. They found all kinds of things and asked Chen Nian to press these things on the cannon.

Xiao Fugui even found a broken wooden bowl.

When the firecracker exploded, the broken wooden wrist was directly smashed up to a height of more than three meters. Everyone who watched was jumping, jumping and clapping happily.

But while playing, another child started to come up with a bad idea to fry cow dung.

Now Xiao Fugui couldn't help smacking his lips when he heard the words fried cow dung, with a bitter expression on his face.

In the end, he didn't follow, but asked Chen Nian to take him home.

As a result, that morning, several children were beaten after returning home.

……

The happy time is always short-lived. In a blink of an eye, it will be the eighth day of the first lunar month, and all walks of life will reopen for business.

The Genzhu noodle restaurant has also re-opened its stall. Although there are still not many people who come out to eat noodles these days, they can still sell fifty or sixty bowls a day.

It was just that after Chen Nian went out to buy vegetables in the morning, he found Gao Genzhu: "Brother Genzhu, when I went out today, I heard they said that there is a kind of rubbing tadpoles, which can be made with bean noodles. Is it delicious?"

Gao Genzhu was taken aback when he heard it, and it took him a while to understand what Chen Nian was saying: "You mean Chagedou, right? This one is okay, the surface of Zagedou is wiped out with a wiper, we There is this tool at home, if you want to eat it, we will eat this at noon."

"Row."

"Then do we have bean noodles at home?"

"I don't have any bean noodles. You should be busy first. I'll go out and buy some."

"No need brother Genzhu, let me go buy it."

Speaking of Chen Nian, he went out and bought five catties of bean noodles and came back. When he bought it, he asked specifically, only to find out that the bean noodles were not ground from pure peas like those sold in later generations.

Instead, peas are used as the main ingredient, and wheat, red beans, adzuki beans and other grains are mixed in and ground together to make noodles.

So at noon, Gao Genzhu started to fight against Chen Nian.

"The making of Za Ge Dou is not much different from other noodles. The only difference is that after the noodles are reconciled, they need to be wiped on the brush. Generally speaking, if you like to eat refreshing food at home, you can make noodles. It's a little thinner, and if you want a chewy texture, live a little harder"

"What kind of pillar did you make before?"

"I like to eat slightly softer ones, but don't look at how soft they are, they are not soft at all after they are made."

Gao Genzhu reconciled after speaking, and started to wake up after he left.

After waking up for a while, I took out the noodles. At this time, the noodles were already very soft, but by no means reached the level of wateriness.

I saw Gao Hezhu directly put a particularly large wiper in the middle of the pot, and then directly put the dough on it and started kneading.

The leaked noodles fell into the pot and gradually took shape.

"Because this noodle is relatively short and small, it is better to eat it with vegetables."

Chen Nian nodded. After the noodles were cooked, Chen Nian brought a spoonful of meat, another spoonful of vegetarian, and some soup.

The taste is indeed similar to other noodles, but the taste of the bean noodles ground with miscellaneous grains is still somewhat different from that of pure white noodles, and it can produce some graininess in the mouth.

It's not as delicate as white flour.

But the size of the pasta itself is doomed to be particularly refreshing to eat, and a lot of it can be pulled into the mouth with one chopstick.

Between chewing, it is full of chewiness.

Paired with garlic, it seems to be good to eat like this, but some people who are not used to eating bean noodles will feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Fugui felt uncomfortable with the chopsticks while eating, so he took a spoon to eat.

"Actually, the noodles are not seasoned after they are cooked. It would be delicious if you add some green peppers and tomatoes and stir-fry them with some meat. How about we have fried noodles at night?"
