Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 548: Oily Pancake with Scallions
To be honest, as a person from Northeast China, Wang An prefers pasta more.

However, the "noodles" in this pasta refers to white flour, not cornmeal!

To be honest, Wang An has eaten enough cornmeal, both in his past life and in this life.

The main reason is that when Wang An was in the fence in his previous life, he basically ate cornmeal steamed buns for every meal, that is, 365 days a year, at least 362 days.

As for the remaining three days, you can eat fine grains, such as rice dumplings, moon cakes, and dumplings!
The worst thing is that there is not enough cornmeal steamed buns, which means we can’t even have enough for every meal.

You should know that cornmeal steamed buns are not made with leavened dough. That is, after mixing the dough with water, the dough is directly kneaded into a ball, and then a hole is pinched on the dough before being steamed in a pot.

Some people may not understand why we have to "pinch a hole" out of the dough. In fact, the reason is very simple. Solid corn dough is not easy to steam and it wastes firewood!
But when Wang An was reborn, every meal was cornmeal pancakes or cornmeal porridge. In short, he was obsessed with corn.

However, Wang An did not complain. After all, being able to live a good life was a kind of happiness. As for what to eat, it was not something he should consider at all.

So at this moment, the meal Wang An had to make was white flour pancakes, or oily white flour pancakes.

As for the Youzila white flour pancake, it is actually made by chopping the Youzila into pieces, then brewing the Youzila with hot water, and finally using the soup mixed with the Youzila to knead the dough.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Wang An has never had enough of this greasy white flour pancake. It is so delicious that it is impossible for him to get enough of it.

Just as Wang An was making pancakes seriously, Feng Chengmin, Wu Dong and others came back.

Seeing Wang An making pancakes, Feng Chengmin said with a smile:

"Sure, Xiao An, you can also make pancakes? I thought you can eat it."

Wang An turned around and smiled, then said very proudly:
"Uncle, what you said is wrong. Not only can I make pancakes, I can also make oily pancakes, hahahaha"

After Wang An finished speaking, Zhang Shuya praised him and said:

"My brother is so good. He guessed that my elder sister wanted to eat pancakes, so he made pancakes for her."

Wang An immediately said:

"Of course we are. We are half-siblings. If the elder sister wants to eat something, then the younger brother must arrange it."

While everyone was commenting on the pancakes Wang An had baked, Wang Shuai said to everyone:

"Come on, bring the sacks over here. Let's see how much gold we have collected today."

After Wang Shuai finished speaking, everyone came over to him, took out the cloth bags in their pockets, and poured the golden rice inside into a big cloth bag.

The scale that Wang Shuai brought into the mountains was a tray beam scale that was very common in that era.

This kind of scale, also called a small scale, only has a capacity of 30 kilograms.

Of course, there are also scales without a tray, which are the kind of scales used by Qiao Xiaohu. To be more precise, it is a hook scale with the tray replaced with a hook.

Of course, there are scales that are smaller than this one, but those are usually called "stamps" and are generally used in supply and marketing cooperatives or hospital pharmacies. Ordinary people cannot use them.

A scale larger than this one, which also does not have a tray, is called a large scale.

Such a large scale is also called a hook scale or a beam scale.

Wang Shuai placed the cloth bag of golden rice on the tray of the scale, but found that the 30-jin scale could not be opened at all.

The meaning of "cannot open" is that the weight of the item being weighed exceeds the maximum scale. Seeing this scene, everyone's faces immediately became full of smiles. After all, if the scale cannot open, it proves that the golden rice harvested today is more than 30 kilograms.

You have to know that gold, like bear bile and ginseng, is priced by the gram. Even a little more will add up to a completely different amount of money.

After weighing it twice, I added up the total and got the final answer: 30.8 catties.

If converted into money at 8 yuan per gram, it would be more than 12 yuan. On average, it would be more than 1.2 yuan per person!

In this era when the average monthly income is more than 5 yuan and the average annual income is more than 60 yuan, what does 1.2 yuan mean?
I have to say, a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grass. If you work and earn money step by step, then at this time, you will never see 1.2 yuan in your entire life. How much money is that?

Therefore, everyone could no longer hold back and couldn't help cheering.

Yesterday at Shizhudi, Wang Shuai told Wang An that he could earn 10,000 yuan a day. That was just an expectation or prediction, but now it has actually come true.

It can be seen how excited and thrilled everyone is.

Of course, excitement and excitement cannot be eaten, so after cheering, everyone spread soybean paste on the oil-fried pancakes made by Wang An, and then rolled them with the green onions brought by Feng Chengmin. It was quite satisfying to eat.

This kind of food is definitely the favorite of all Northeastern people.

----

A few days later, Wang An had already walked around the area near the camp and on both sides of the river more than 10 miles downstream from the camp.

In a few days, Wang An only harvested two nuggets of gold. One was as big as a goose egg, which was not small.

Although the other piece is as big as a palm, it is a little thinner than a palm.

Fortunately, the price of gold nuggets is not simply measured by weight, so Wang An was very satisfied with only two pieces of gold nuggets he had obtained in a few days.

However, Wang An was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Broken-Tailed Fox, because this cunning and treacherous fox would bring his wife to Wang An for meals every day.

Moreover, this fox with a broken tail would follow Wang An every day as if he was going to work, and would never leave Wang An's side.

However, this fox did not help at all in the search for the gold nugget.

Ever since Wang An discovered that the Broken-Tailed Fox was laughing last time, which led to him deciding to give the Broken-Tailed Fox the respect it deserves, he has never used threats or bribes against the Broken-Tailed Fox in his search for the nugget gold again.

After all, no matter what, the credit for digging out the nugget of gold from under the big rock did belong to the Broken-Tailed Fox.

To be honest, Wang An would never do such a thing as abandoning the donkey after it has done its job.

So even though Wang An got angry when he saw the fox with a broken tail, he could only ignore it and let it be treated as a proper "freeloader".

However, in the past few days, everyone's harvest has been very stable, with about 30 kilograms of golden rice every day, and at the most, the weight has reached 34 kilograms.

More than half of the carnation field has been dug up. It is estimated that in another three or four days, everyone will have to go back to the river to pan for gold.

Until this day, which was the 10th day after Wang An peed out the nugget of gold, and also the day when everyone had finished digging up the carnation field, Wang An decided to ride his horse to the upper reaches of the river.

Finally, the fox with a broken tail is no longer eaten for nothing!
