Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 81 Hanamaki
In the courtyard outside the house, the dark night was approaching little by little, followed closely by the stars and the cold wind.

Xu Qing smiled softly, his forehead was already sweating, this was a physical job, it looked simple, but it was not easy at all.

Especially for Xu Qing, cooking is no different from learning skills in a workshop.

I haven't done it before, but now I have practiced crawling for half a year, plus asking Shazhu, frying and cooking, every step has been memorized in my mind, but I still can't be as light and comfortable as Shazhu.

Diligence is also a skill, and not everyone can do it well.

There are quite a few people working as cooks in the canteen in the factory, but among those who are as outstanding as Sha Zhu, you can’t count them on your fingers.

What's more, Xu Qing still became a monk halfway, so the gap between him and Sha Zhu is naturally not small.

If Xu Qing devotes himself to studying, he may be able to catch up, but the problem is that he does not work in the back kitchen of the cafeteria, so it is difficult for him to learn a lot about cooking.

However, Xu Qing didn't want to work hard all his life. Now that his parents are away, this is what he has to do.

Xu Qing was a little tired of steaming steamed buns every time. Now he thought about steaming steamed buns and eating them in a different way to give the three little ones a change of taste.

Meat rolls are also okay, but there isn't much meat in the house.

There are still about ten days until the Chinese New Year, so we can only wait a few more days before talking about it.

There is no change in the early steps of steamed buns and flower rolls, except that when shaping them, we must pay attention to the technique.

Of course, steamed buns are simple, while Hanamaki is a little more complicated. It has a layered texture and is sprinkled with chopped green onion and other small ingredients. It tastes better than steamed buns.

After more than half an hour of busy work, Xu Qingcai made the flower rolls, and then dried them on the chopping board. After waking up for more than ten minutes, they put them in the pot for steaming.

At this moment, the three little guys who were playing around in the yard all ran back and sat around the stove in the front room to keep warm.

Xu Qing came out of the kitchen and saw Xu Fengming. His hands were red from the cold, and so was his face, but he grinned and looked very happy.

The little girl didn't suffer much from the cold. She stayed close to the old lady, so she was fine.

As for Xu Aiguo who went out late, his face turned red and his hands were the same as Xu Fengming's.

Which boy doesn't like to play in the snow? The Jia family's stick in the middle courtyard broke his leg, and was scolded by Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu and refused to go to the courtyard.

Even so, Banggeng secretly went out to play a few times in the past few days.

But I didn't dare to run wild in the backyard.

Otherwise, the three little guys will be beaten until he runs away with his head in his arms!
Xu Qing walked to the door outside the house, took a few briquettes and returned to the kitchen. He sat on the bench in front of the stove and turned on the fire.

The little girl didn't know what kind of dispute she had with Xu Fengming, so she ran into the kitchen angrily, took Xu Qing's arm, and forced him to go out and deal with her third brother.

At this moment, the door of the front room was suddenly pushed open, and then the third uncle's voice came in.

"Xu Qing, are you at home?"

Xu Qing stood up, took the little girl's hand, and walked out of the kitchen, frightened Xu Fengming in the front room, sat on the bench in front of the stove, lowered his head, and hid slightly behind Xu Aiguo.

"Third Master, what's the matter?"

Xu Qing did not go to Xu Fengming's side, but asked Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui sat on the edge of the Kang and said with a smile: "It's okay, just come over and take a look."

Xu Qing raised his hand and asked the girl to pour water for Yan Bugui.

The little girl pouted her little mouth, holding a thermos bottle and pouring water into the enamel tea jar, while still angrily looking at Xu Fengming with watery eyes.

Xu Qing took out a cigarette, handed it to Yan Bugui and said:

"Third Master, how is Jie Kuang's arm these days? Is it better?"

"It's much better, but I still have to continue to rest and try to get better before school starts next year. I'll be relieved."

Yan Bugui sighed, reached out and took the economic cigarette that Xu Qing handed him, and without disdain, held it in the corner of his mouth and started smoking.

Xu Qing's economy cigarettes cost eight cents. On weekdays, Yan Bugui rarely smoked them.

The ones he smoked were big front doors, with handles (filters) like Hardman. As a teacher, he naturally wanted to be more respectable.

It's the same reason that cadres always carry peony cigarettes on their bodies.

If someone offers Yanbu expensive cigarettes, he will never refuse. Why don't you take advantage of something?

Yan Bugui took two puffs of the cigarette, and his mouth was full of cigarette scum, so he raised his hand to hold the cigarette in his hand and said:
"Xu Qing, I heard that you were praised in your factory a few days ago."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Third uncle, that's nothing."

Yan Bugui shook his head and said with the same expression on his face as when he was teaching on the podium:

"How can it be nothing? If you have done a good thing, you have done a good thing and saved people. How can you say it is nothing. This morning, I asked your third aunt to tell the street office. I estimate that in two days, our street office will People want to come to the courtyard to find trouble."

When Xu Qing heard this, for a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or smile wryly.

Taking advantage of the fact that it didn't snow in the past two days, he planned to go to the coal station to buy coal ash early in the morning when he had a rest the day after tomorrow.

If someone from the street office came to the courtyard the day after tomorrow, he would most likely not have distributed it.

After sending Yan Bugui away, Xu Qing stood at the door of the house, looking at the completely dark backyard, and sighed softly.

Then he returned to the house, ran into the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot, and checked to see if the flower rolls were cooked.

The little girl was still having trouble with Xu Fengming. She stood in the kitchen and kept complaining to her elder brother Xu Qing.

In the front room, Xu Fengming was sitting in front of the stove, but now he also ran into the kitchen.

Holding two fruit candies in his hand, he handed them to the little girl and said:

"Third brother, I was wrong, can you please eat candy?"

The little girl snorted and grabbed the candy into her palm with her little hand. Her puffy face revealed a trace of happiness.

Xu Qing held the kitchen knife and cut the vegetables. He turned his head and saw the reconciled two people, smiled, turned around, and continued to work.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Qing and San Xiaozhi sat around on the kang in the front room and had dinner.

The effect of steaming the Hanamaki is good, it is not too collapsed, and it is relatively successful, mainly because the time to wake up is enough.

The three little guys each held a flower roll and were very satisfied with the meal.

Xu Fengming ate two in one meal, and his stomach became round.

Xu Qing's steamed flower rolls are not small at all. They are not as small and delicate as those in the south, but as big as a big steamed bun.

Just after finishing the meal, before Xu Qing could put away the dishes and the remaining flower rolls into the kitchen, Sha Zhu and He Yuyu came to the door.

Today Silly Zhu brought He Yushuicong back from school. He had nothing to do at night, so he came to visit.

As soon as Si Zhu entered the room, he saw Xu Qing's steamed flower rolls. His eyes suddenly shone. He walked to the edge of the kang, stretched out his hand, broke off a small piece, put it in his mouth, tasted it, and said to Xu Qing:
"The craftsmanship is good, but the salt is a bit short, remember to add a little more next time."

When Xu Fengming heard Shazhu say that the steamed rolls made by elder brother were not tasty, he was holding his stomach, and said unwillingly:
"Brother Yu Zhu, my elder brother's steamed flower rolls are the best in the whole world. I ate two of them if there is less salt. Look at my stomach."

Silly Zhu grinned, and reached out to touch the little guy's stomach.
