Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 327 Mountain Sea Pocket

After making up her mind, Wen Shu acted immediately, picked up the chosen things and rushed to the kitchen.

To make a bag, the dough is the key, so the first thing she has to do is spread enough mung bean noodles.Fortunately, when she bought the ingredients for the banquet yesterday, she bought a lot of mung bean powder and stocked it up, so she didn't need to spend extra money to ask someone to buy it.

Mix mung bean flour and water with a little salt in a ratio of 1:2 to form a slurry, spread it over hot water to form a skin, then put it in cold water to cool, and the thin and chewy mung bean noodle skin is ready.

Then wrap the prepared stuffing with powder skin to make a bag.

The busy time always flies very fast, the time passes quietly with the sound of pots and bowls clashing in the kitchen, and when night falls, Wen Shu has already made [-] pockets.

There are one hundred bags of each kind, and three fruit bags of each kind are reserved for dinner, and all other Wenshu are put into the storage basket while they are hot.

The smell wafting from Wen's kitchen from time to time once again put the neighbors off guard.

What is this writer doing!In this situation, I still cook food all day long. Is it free for food? Or is it free for firewood?
Oh, by the way, the firewood in his family may be really free. Who told him to be a "carpenter"?

When the neighbors were complaining, Wen Shu was coming out of the kitchen with a plate, and Father Wen also finished work and was washing his hands by the well.

On a cool summer night, the parents sat down at the table, and a few crystal clear pockets wafted a faint fragrance under the flickering candlelight.

Wen Shu took out two chopsticks for each of her father's pockets, and kept one for herself.

When she tried to make it before, she had tasted the "Peach Red Pouch" made of peaches and fish, which tasted sweet.The aroma of the peach well conceals the fishy smell of the fish, and the umami of the fish adds a touch of flavor to the pulp.

All in all, the taste is very good, both fresh and sweet, and the taste is top grade.

The "Xinghuangdou" made of apricot and fish is similar, but the most obvious feature of the apricot meat is not the sweetness, but the softness.Compared with "Taohongdou" which is springy, smooth and tender, "Xinghuangdou" has a springy and waxy taste.

The most special one is "Bing Li Pocket".

She obviously added pear flesh when mixing the stuffing, but after steaming, she couldn't eat the flesh, even if she opened the bag to search for it.

You want to say that the pears have turned into water, but there is no extra water in the bag, except that the fish has become more crystal clear.

It's as if the pear flesh disappeared out of thin air, or it turned into water and was sucked into the fish flesh.

The fish in other pockets were either dyed pink or light yellow by the fruit, or green by the side dishes.Only it has become a transparent color.

Only the middle rice grain-sized part of the whole fish meat is white, and the rest are all transparent.Looking in from the skin of the bag, it looks like nothing is wrapped.

But the puffed-up skin of the pocket tells the world that there is indeed something inside.

At this moment, Father Wen was looking at Bing Lidou in amazement and asking her questions.However, Wen Shu himself didn't know, so he could only answer truthfully, and Father Wen sighed again and again after hearing this.

They had a comfortable dinner here, but the Lin family in the same alley was in a panic at this time. The eldest granddaughter of the Lin family, Lin Xiaodie, had a high fever.

At this time, he had a high fever, which was almost the same as declaring that he had contracted chicken plague. The old lady of the Lin family immediately pulled her eldest grandson behind her and asked if there was anything wrong.

Lin Xiaodie's parents were both sad and happy. They were happy because their son hadn't shown any symptoms yet, but worried about what to do if the girl contracted chicken plague. Should she report it?

If you don't report it, you won't be able to hire a doctor, and if you can't get a doctor, your child will be in danger.

But inviting a doctor is equivalent to telling everyone that someone in their Lin family has contracted chicken plague, so those who have not shown symptoms for the time being can't escape suspicion.

Although the government did not take any measures against the Zhao family infected with chicken plague, they just asked them to stay at home and not let them go out, and even called a doctor.

But if the doctor can't cure it in the end, and the infection is strong, according to the government's practice of shedding the small to protect the big, I am afraid that the Zhao family will be dragged outside the city to fend for itself.

They dare not gamble.

Finally, after the whole family discussed, they decided to hide it for a day and wait until tomorrow to see the Zhao family's situation. If the Zhao family's people improved after treatment, they would report it.

If the situation of the Zhao family does not improve, or if there is a new trend in the government, then a decision will be made.

This is also an inevitable decision.

When there is hope of surviving, no one wants to seek death.

At the same time, at Yaoerzhuang on the other side, after a day of inquiry, the old doctor who was left behind already had a vague guess in his mind.

It's just that this thought flashed by, making it too late for him to catch it.

During the day, after the official sent a visit to the entire village, and found that other people in the village also had symptoms, they handed over all the patients in the village to him, on the grounds that they would not bother the two masters.

There is nothing wrong with the old doctor.Anyway, he had already entered the village, so he took a look around, and there were many cases, so it was convenient for him to find out the problem.

After visiting all the sick people in the village for a day, he discovered a strange phenomenon.

It is in the homes of these infected patients that there seem to be one or two asymptomatic people in each household, and most of these asymptomatic people are children.

Could it be that children are not easily infected with chicken plague?
Thinking of this, the old doctor hastily opened the medicine box and found out the course record of the day, which recorded his consultation process today.Include the patient's recent diet.

After flipping through more than a dozen pieces of paper, the old doctor noticed the three words on many papers, Baijiafan!
It is very common to eat Baijia rice in the summer solstice. He ate it at home yesterday, it seems nothing unusual.But when the three words Baijiafan all come from the mouth of a child, it is worth pondering.

Why did all the children mention Baijiafan, but none of the adults mentioned it?Is it because the adults haven't eaten Baijiafan?
While thinking about it, I saw the eldest granddaughter of the Zhang family coming over with a bowl, "Fu Wengweng, drink tea."

"Your father asked you to send it?"

"Well, although it's Chen Cha, it's the only one in the house, don't hold it against you."

The old doctor took the tea bowl, and just as Miss Zhang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Wait, girl, did you eat Baijia rice the day before yesterday?"

"Eat it."

"Then did your father and Weng Weng eat them?"

"I ate it too."

I ate them all. ． ．
That. ．It's not about food.

The old doctor fell into deep thought again, and at this moment the granddaughter of the Zhang family added, "However, the food my father and the others eat is not as good as ours."

"Oh, what do you say, don't you eat a kind of rice?"

"Well, what my brother and I ate were delivered from tea shops outside, and what dad and the others ate was exchanged from uncles and aunts in the village."

"Sent from a tea shop outside?" The old doctor frowned.

"Well, it's sweet and has a faint fragrance. It's delicious, but there's only one bowl. Dad saw that we like it, so he gave it to us." The grandson of the Zhang family ran over and said.

From a few sentences, the old doctor grasped a key message, the food eaten by children and adults is different.

Thinking of this, he jumped up and covered the medicine box, and went to ask Mr. Zhang family.

He wanted to ask if what the children said was true?If it is true, where did the Baijia rice for the children come from, and which tea shop distributed it?
