Chapter 278 Yes, Still a Pair

After the grandma settled down and sat down, Zhang's mother turned to the kitchen to arrange meals.

"Shuan Zhu, Changsheng!" Mother Zhang shouted from the kitchen door.

"Sister-in-law, are you calling us to do something?" Shuan Zhu and Brother Chang Sheng hurriedly put down their knives, wiped their hands on their aprons, and walked out.

"Your grandma is here, and I want to eat the dishes you two stir-fry!" Mother Zhang said with a smile.

"Ah?! Sister, we don't know how to cook!"

"Then I don't care, your grandma said, if you can't get fired, your father will take care of you." Zhang's mother had a teasing smile on her face.

It's just a naughty little aunt teasing her little nephew.

If Zhang Junping sees it, he will be surprised that his mother still has such a naughty side.

"Sister-in-law, please spare us! We are not lazy at all in the back kitchen! If you don't believe me, you can ask Master." Changsheng pleaded.

Under the help of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, Zhuzi, Shuanzhu, and Changsheng successfully worshiped Master Yu as their teacher.

Zheng'er's Eight Classics sent invitations and ceremonies for apprentices who kowtowed to apprentices.

There are also many kinds of apprentices.

Although it is not like what is written in the novel, there are outer disciples, inner disciples, true disciples, and personal disciples.

But it's almost the same, there are registered disciples, beginner disciples, house-entry disciples, and direct disciples.

As I said before, the disciples who enter the house will live and eat at the master's house, so they can learn real skills.

The direct disciples are actually the best among the disciples who entered the house, who can inherit the mantle.

Although beginners are one level behind, they can learn a lot as long as they study hard.

Zhuzi, Shuanzhu, and Changsheng are just Master Yu's introductory disciples, it's not that Zhang Junping doesn't have enough face.

It is true that the current society is not as good as before, and Master Yu's house cannot accommodate so many people.

Not everyone can be as inhuman as Zhang Junping.

"Why do I have you two idiot nephews, you can't, your master can't?

If you want to cook something for your grandma, let your master instruct you to cook it, and you can learn it and sell it now? "Mother Zhang stepped forward and rewarded the brains of the other one by one, and said bitterly.

"But..." Shuan Zhu and Chang Sheng hesitated.

The master pointed out what seasoning to put, how to control the heat, and when to cook it, but it could be done.

However, it can only be guaranteed to be edible, and it is definitely incomparable with a real chef.

"But what? Your grandma can tell the difference between what you cook and what your master cooks?" Zhang's mother rewarded the two of them again.

"Oh! I got it!"*2
Shuan Zhu and Chang Sheng didn't dare to say anything else, for fear of being beaten again, they were in their thirties and had several children, it would be embarrassing to be beaten again.

But the other party is a sister-in-law, and they can only do it next to each other.

I ran into the kitchen, chatted with the master for a while, and finally agreed to instruct them to cook a few dishes suitable for the elderly.

Zhang Junping and his two apprentices were talking and drinking tea with his grandma.

Zhang Lihong returned to the bar and continued to work.

This point is when it is busy, and the bar cannot be separated from people.

After a while, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother entered the private room together.

It's rare that my mother came, and Zhang's mother also put down her work and had dinner with her.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the dishes came one after another.

There are six dishes in total.

"Mom, these dishes are made by Shuanzhu and Changsheng, you can try them!" Mother Zhang said with a smile.

"Yeah! I'll try the dishes made by my grandson." The grandma smiled and picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of tofu.

Zhang Junping saw it, and this is the most common homemade tofu recipe in Shandong cuisine: roasted tofu.

The fried tofu is a bit old, but it is not bad to be able to make it like this in such a short time.

Several other dishes are also home-cooked.

Dishes that are too complicated cannot be made with a few instructions from the master.

You have to have a solid foundation and practice it many times.

"Grandma, how are you?" Shuan Zhu asked nervously.

"Hmm! It's very good, even better than your mother's cooking.

From the looks of it, my two grandsons did not learn from Master in vain.

I can tell you, study hard!Your aunt has created such good conditions for you, why don't you study hard and see if I don't call your father to clean up you. "Grandma said with a satisfied smile, not forgetting to remind the two of them not to be proud.

After eating, grandma wiped her mouth, "Okay, you guys are busy, don't wait on me here, Pingzi, let's go home and make buns."

"Okay! Let's go! Mom, bring me a piece of pork belly, we can make buns." Zhang Junping smiled and helped his grandma to go out, not forgetting to remind Zhang's mother to bring a piece of meat.

The restaurant uses a lot of pork, at least two pigs are consumed a day.

They were all purchased by Hou San from the village below and slaughtered by himself.

Red Star Farm accounts for the bulk, accounting for one-third of the total supply.

Of course, Red Star Farm didn't suffer, Zhang Junping bought them a lot of reinforced concrete to expand the pigsty.

Zhang Junping helped grandma to the car.

Xia Guoxiang took a piece of pork belly that weighed at least five catties, and followed into the car.

"Goodbye, grandparents!" Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang waved to Zhang's parents.

"Mom and Dad, let's go! Go home to eat buns tonight!" Zhang Junping said hello, started the car, and left Zhiweizhai.

When they got home, Zhang Junping started chopping stuffing, and grandma took Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang to choose shepherd's purse.

Shepherd's purse is delicious to eat, but it is troublesome to clean up. You have to pick off the dead leaves and roots on it.

It has to be washed several times, and the water can be cleaned before it can be chopped into the meat.

Zhang Junping first cut the pork belly into small pieces with a knife, and then began to mince the meat.

Holding knives in both hands, the two knives were flying on the chopping board, and the pork belly gradually turned into fat and thin minced meat.

In the afternoon, the four of them worked together, and finally at four o'clock, the minced meat was prepared and the noodles were reconciled, and the only thing left was to wrap it.

To be honest, making dumplings is okay, but Zhang Junping really can't make buns, but he can roll them.

Zhang Junping rolled the buns, and grandma took Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang to make the buns.

These two little guys are not good either, not to mention ugly buns, but also slow, grandma made three buns, they couldn't wrap one well.

However, this is not a part-time job in a restaurant. It doesn't matter at home. Let the two of them learn while doing it. It's a lot of fun.

At [-]:[-], a big bowl of minced shepherd's purse and minced meat had already consumed more than half of it. At this time, Qiu Wenyan came back from get off work.

"Why did you come back so early today? You made so many buns?"

"I sent the rest of the artists away early this morning, and I gave everyone a day off to make up for the day before yesterday.

In the morning, I talked to my grandma about shepherd's purse, so I went to the field with my grandma to dig a lot of shepherd's purse and came back.

Will you pack it?Hurry up, wash your hands and wash your hands. "Zhang Junping said with a smile.

Then he said to Xia Guoxiang, who was purely making soy sauce: "Xiangzi, don't worry about it, go and light the pot!"

"Okay, I'm going to cook the pot right now!" Xia Guoxiang agreed swiftly, and ran to light the pot with a sigh of relief.

He really doesn't have the talent to make buns. Li Wenjuan has already learned how to make buns. The buns he makes look good, but the ones he makes are crooked. Li Wenjuan often makes fun of him all afternoon.

Qiu Wenyan washed her hands, and came over to make buns with everyone.

She is very good at making buns, and she often helps Qiu's mother make buns at home.

However, just as Qiu Wenyan sat down to make a few buns, she smelled the smell of shepherd's purse and meat stuffing, and suddenly felt sick.

Get up quickly, run outside and vomit.

Zhang Junping quickly got up, followed outside, and gently patted Qiu Wenyan on the back, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, just now I smelled the smell of shepherd's purse minced meat, and I suddenly felt sick." Qiu Wenyan vomited for a while, feeling better, and then said.

At this time, Li Wenjuan came over with a glass of water, "Master, drink some water and rinse!"

"Okay, thank you, Juanzi." Qiu Wenyan took the water glass, took a sip, and then spat it out.

After gargling like this several times, I drank the rest of the water.

"It's okay, I'm much better." Qiu Wenyan said with a sigh, patting her chest.

"Swallow, how long has it been since you had menstruation?" Grandma also came out of the room and asked with a smile.

"I... I figured I should come in a few days." Qiu Wenyan said with a red face.

Fortunately, Xia Guoxiang was not here, otherwise it would be a little embarrassing for grandma to ask such a question.

Hearing grandma's words, Zhang Junping's heart moved, he grabbed Qiu Wenyan's hand, and pressed Cunguanchi with three fingers.

slippery pulse!

"Swallow, congratulations, you are going to be a mother!" Zhang Junping was also surprised and excited, "I have a child! I have a child!"

"Really?" Qiu Wenyan also had a look of surprise, but couldn't believe her ears.

"Of course it's true! You still don't believe my medical skills?

Your body has been adjusted by me, and your menstruation is already on time. Do you calculate how many days you are late?
I also ignored it!
Grandma, there are swallows! "Zhang Junping said excitedly.

"Okay, okay! Your old Zhang family is going to have a baby again.

Help your daughter-in-law go back and rest! "Grandma laughed so hard that all the creases on her face bloomed.

"Congratulations, Master, Mistress! May Mistress give us a little brother." Li Wenjuan pulled Qiu Wenyan's arm and said pleasant words.

"Junior and junior sisters are the same, you do it first, and I'll come back later." Zhang Junping helped Qiu Wenyan back to the room.

Ask Qiu Wenyan to sit on a chair, and take Qiu Wenyan's pulse carefully.

Counting the days, it should be the wedding night, and the seeds planted have sprouted.

And it's not one seed that sprouts, it's two maybe more seeds that sprout.

The date of request in the traditional wedding process is not a feudal superstition, but a science.

Let the woman choose her own day, so that she can avoid the bride's menstrual period.

After all, the wedding night was a very taboo thing in the past.

In addition, scientific research in later generations has proved that when the mood swings are relatively large, the chance of pregnancy is higher.

The woman sets the date, which can be set in the days of ovulation, which can increase the chance of pregnancy.

This is not a random fabrication. Although ancient Chinese medicine did not know what ovulation period is, they can calculate the period of pregnancy more easily through the menstrual period.

The day when Zhang Junping and Qiu Wenyan got married happened to be Qiu Wenyan's ovulation period, so Zhang Junping was a hit.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the good health of Zhang Junping and Qiu Wenyan.

"It's okay, you are in good health! Apart from not being able to drink medicinal wine, you don't have to restrict your diet. You can eat whatever you want.

However, you may have to suffer a little bit later. Zhang Junping said with a relieved smile.

"Don't be afraid of suffering. A woman is not immune to giving birth to a child." Qiu Wenyan patted her stomach with a happy face.

"The suffering I said doesn't mean this. You should be pregnant with twins, so I said you will suffer a little later." Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"Twins? Can you feel this too?"

"What's so rare about this? Huamai, double pulse, aren't these twins?
The main reason is that your family's genes are good, with the genes of twins. Zhang Junping said while holding Qiu Wenyan's hand and stroking it lightly.

Whether twins are born or not depends on the woman, and twins can also be hereditary.

"That's right! What you said seems to be true. My mother gave birth to twins Lingling and Longlong, and my grandmother also gave birth to my uncle." Qiu Wenyan suddenly said.

"Pingzi, I'm so lucky. Originally, the country required family planning. I thought I could only give you one child, but I didn't expect to have two.

No, I have to call my mom and tell her the good news. "Qiu Wenyan said as she stood up and was about to go out of the study to make a phone call.

Zhang Junping is a department-level cadre, and according to relevant regulations, he is qualified to install a telephone at home.

"Don't fight, it's about this time, if our mother finds out, she will definitely come over, don't bother her old man.

Waiting for tomorrow, let's go back together and say goodbye to our mother. Zhang Junping stopped Qiu Wenyan and said with a smile.

"Yes! That's right, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Qiu Wenyan thought that what Zhang Junping said was reasonable, and didn't insist anymore, just kept stroking her flat stomach.

After comforting Qiu Wenyan, Zhang Junping got up and went back to the backyard to continue making buns.

It's just that he rolled the skin much faster, revealing his excitement.

"Your grandpa and I are pregnant with our great grandson again." The grandma confessed with joy on her face, "Pingzi, your daughter-in-law is just pregnant, so you can't mess around at night."

"Grandma, I know, you forgot, I know medical skills." Zhang Junping replied with a smile.

Li Wenjuan's face flushed as she listened beside her.

Perhaps seeing Li Wenjuan's embarrassment, grandma didn't continue to say anything else, but wrapped the buns quickly.

"Master, the pot is boiling!" Xia Guoxiang didn't know that he had two more juniors/sisters after cooking the pot by himself.

"Understood!" Zhang Junping got up, picked up a pot of buns, and walked into the kitchen.

The pot cover is a kind of kitchen utensil made of sorghum stalks. It is very popular in the north, and basically every household cannot do without it.

It’s just that they are called differently in different places. Some are called Gailian, some are called Guochao, some are called Grate Lian, and some are called Shuanggrate. They are all the same thing.

It is used for making buns and steaming steamed buns. First put the raw ones on the lid of the pot, then bring them to the kitchen and put them on the grate in the pot.

This is also used when making dumplings, and it has even become a measuring tool.

In rural areas, such conversations are often heard: How many dumplings did your family make?My house has two pots covered.

This kind of measurement is actually a disguised form of showing off wealth, which evolved slowly.

Before the 80s, every family was not rich, even if they ate dumplings during the Chinese New Year, they were all based on the number of dumplings.

So this kind of dialogue about showing off wealth is derived.

When the neighbor asked how many dumplings did you make?
My family made fifty dumplings.

Who can eat [-] dumplings in a family of eight?It doesn't sound good to say it.

So he simply said: My house has two pots covered.

Having said that, the force came out.

How much is a pot cover?There are big and small pot lids, the big ones can hold [-] or [-], and the small ones can hold [-] or [-].

But I don't say how big the lid is, I just say that I wrapped two lids.

This can be regarded as a kind of life wisdom.

Zhang Junping put the buns one by one on the grate in the pot, and then covered the pot.

Zhang Junping’s steamed stuffed pot cover is called a pot cover because it is really a pot cover. Before the 80s and [-]s, its other function was a pot cover, pot cover, and cylinder cover.

It wasn't until later that there was an aluminum pot lid, an aluminum alloy pot lid, that replaced it.

"Keep burning the fire! When the pot boils, check the time, the pot will be ready in 10 minutes." Zhang Junping explained to Xia Guoxiang.

Half of the steamed buns can be steamed in 15 minutes, but the meat stuffing used by Zhang Junping is raw, so he deliberately added 5 minutes.

Although buns are not very eye-catching, they are actually recorded in history books.

As early as the Song Dynasty Gao Cheng compiled the "Wu Shi Ji Yuan" there is a record of steamed stuffed buns: Zhuge Liang marched south and went to paint a human head to sacrifice to it.

This should be the earliest steamed stuffed bun.

In addition, in the "Qing Barnyard Banknotes" compiled by Xu Ke in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it is mentioned that the so-called steamed buns in the south are also fermented and steamed, and they are rounded, but they are actually steamed buns. Steamed buns have existed in Song Dynasty .

In fact, I personally feel that Xu Ke’s paragraph is all nonsense. During the Song Dynasty, steamed buns were already on sale. In "Water Margin", there are descriptions of human meat buns and steamed buns stuffed with meat. This is a well-known thing, and he used it in the book specifically.

This also proves from the side that hydrology and making up the number of words are not an invention of later Internet writers. The ancients have already started hydrology and making up the number of words.

Far away.

Zhang Junping went out of the kitchen, washed his hands, and continued rolling the skin.

The three of them worked together and quickly wrapped a large pot of stuffing into meat buns.

This side is finished, and the second pot over there has also been cooked.

The steaming steamed buns are filled with an aroma.

Sending out buns not only smells good, tastes good, but also looks good.

Qiu Wenyan, who just vomited because she couldn't stand the smell of shepherd's purse, had already ate a few steamed buns deliciously.

"It's good to be able to eat. When a woman is pregnant, it's a blessing to be able to eat!" Grandma squinted and said with a smile.

"Swallow is a blessed person at first glance, much better than you. In the first few months of your meeting, you ate and vomited, but I was so worried." The grandfather who came back from fishing also said with a smile.

"Grandma, you can eat too. This is the fruit of my mother's daily labor." Zhang Junping took a bun for grandma and another for grandpa, "Grandpa, you should try these meat buns too."

"Okay, okay! This bun looks delicious." Grandpa took the bun with a smile.

"You eat first. Today I will cook. I will show you my skills and make you a crucian carp soup. Then I will make a braised carp." Zhang Junping rolled up his sleeves and walked to the edge of the pool with his grandfather's fishing net bag.

　I finally saw the light of day. Most of the communities in Jining have been unsealed, and I guess it will be soon.

　　Brothers and sisters, let's celebrate with a few monthly tickets.
