Chapter 549 Occasionally Eat Steamed Buns Made with Grains and Wild Vegetables. Not to Mention, It Tastes Really Good! 【Please Subscribe】

"Dundun is so awesome!"

Shen Guofu ran to the river and held the light blue stone, which was almost the size of a basketball. It felt warm and moist like a piece of jade.

It’s not unusual to find jade in mountainous rivers.

In many places, there are professional jade diggers who make a living in such stone-filled rivers.

But such a large jade stone has a pure texture, a warm feel, and no impurities on the surface. It is really rare. If it were to be sold, it would probably be worth a lot of money.

After all, such large pieces of jade material can be carved into relatively complex large pieces of jade, which can be sold at a higher price than bracelets and jade pendants.

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"I pulled this out of Dundun. No matter how expensive it is, I won't sell it. I plan to ask someone to carve this piece of jade into the shape of Dundun. Honey, what do you think of Mommy's proposal?"

Dundun was wandering in the river by himself, not interested in what he said.

But Shen Guofu thought it was good to carve it into a pier.

He thought for a while and said:

"Then after I return to Beijing this time, I will find a master sculptor and ask him to carve it in the shape of a dungeon... Not to mention, this piece of jade is really suitable for carving into a dundun shape."

The whole jade material is larger at one end and smaller at the other, which is more suitable for carving into the shape of a cat squatting.

This is also Dundun's signature move. Shen Guofu even wanted to put it on his desk, but thinking that his daughter would definitely not agree, he had to give up.

On the gentle slope not far away, Lin Xu dug another basket of wild vegetables.

The types of these wild vegetables are a bit complicated, so you have to separate them later, especially the wild leeks and wild onions. Pick them out and scramble them with eggs. They are so delicious that they can be swallowed by your tongue.

When Lin Xu went home during the Qingming Festival last year, she ate dumplings made by her mother using wild leeks. They were called fresh dumplings.

Chen Meijuan also found wild onions and said to everyone:

"Dig out the roots of wild onions. The roots are also delicious. Don't leave the roots of leeks. Keep them and they will grow again next time."

She has already made plans to dig out the roots of wild leeks from the river valley when spring gets warmer and transplant them into the small vegetable garden outside the farm restaurant.

This will make it much easier to eat later.

While he was busy, his second uncle Chen Meiliang came from the valley in front, carrying a basket full of oval leaves in his hand.

He smiled and said:

"There is actually a wild pepper tree in front, and the leaves have already grown. I just picked the leaves, chopped them up, mixed them with eggs and fried them. It will taste super delicious."

This valley is really surprising, allowing everyone to have endless wild vegetables a month in advance.

After all the woven bags we brought were filled, we were ready to go back.

Shen Guofu didn't know much about wild vegetables, so he volunteered to pick up the stone Dundun was looking for. Shen Jiayue held Dundun in her arms, while the others picked up tools and picked up the wild vegetables.

When you come, walk all the way down, either down the steps or down the gentle slope.

So everyone unknowingly walked five or six kilometers into the valley, but it was not easy when they returned.

It was a long uphill walk, which was tiring and uncomfortable.

Moreover, the further we walked, the lower the temperature became. I didn’t dare to take off my coat even when it got hot, so I could only sweat silently.

Chen Shaokang and his group of soy sauce cousins ​​had just picked a wild flower and two stones when they were digging wild vegetables. Now they had thrown away all the stones and wild flowers. They even had to pull the railing with their hands when they went up the steps. .

Lin Xu, on the other hand, was still walking at the front of the team, carrying a bag full of wild vegetables, and at the same time carrying his and Shen Jiayue's baskets and shovels.

If you are in good health, you can really do whatever you want.

"Dundun, let's go back and lose weight, okay? It feels like your body is getting heavier... I'm really curious about how those people who raise blue cats weigh 20 pounds usually hold their cats."

Among blue cats, Dundun, who weighs 13 pounds, is not too fat and has a relatively well-proportioned body. However, some big blue cats on the Internet weigh 20 pounds, which is an exaggeration.

When everyone finally came out of the valley, there were beads of sweat on everyone's forehead.

Put all the wild vegetables and tools in the trunk, and everyone drives back.

These wild vegetables dug out of the ground cannot be eaten directly. They must be selected cleanly. And choosing vegetables is also a relatively complicated matter.

Everyone, take a break, drink water if you want, and eat snacks if you want.

After resting for a while, I poured the wild vegetables out of the woven bag and began to select vegetables. When selecting, I also classified the wild vegetables.

"Xubao, what are you eating today?"

Shen Jiayue felt that the pig head she had eaten for lunch had been completely digested, and even the fat accumulated in the past two days had been burned. It was too tiring to walk several kilometers on a mountain road with steps and gentle slopes.

Lin Xu said:

"Steam the multi-grain wowo and wild vegetable wowo, heat up the leftovers from lunch, and make chicken noodle soup. It's a simple meal."

Shen Guofu, who was busy filling the large basin with water and washing wild vegetables, thought of the half of the pig head left at noon and other dishes, and felt that the simple meal his son-in-law said was not simple at all.

But that's just fine.

I didn’t enjoy the pig’s head at lunch, so I’ll try it again in the evening. It’s a double pleasure!

As for the chicken noodle soup, that's fine. I haven't had it for a long time. My son-in-law is so good at cooking, and it's a hearty meal with both meat and vegetables.

After Dundun got off the car, he first went to his own automatic thermos water basin and drank a lot of water while squatting.

Then he jumped to the table in the yard, looked at the stone carefully for a while, then raised his tail, went to the cage next to the pig pen, and started bullying the duck inside.

Shen Jiayue said:

"Dundun is like a small village chief. He will scold small animals when he sees them in the yard."

Chen Yuanyuan grabbed a handful of wild onions and asked while selecting them quickly:

"I see that many people on the Internet are urging Dundun to start a live broadcast. Why don't you let Dundun broadcast it?"

"We don't like Dundun to live under the camera, and we don't like to force it to do anything. One day it will ask for a live broadcast."

Since the first live broadcast, Dundun has only broadcast live three or four times.

Although advertisers kept calling during every live broadcast, hoping to get Dundun to help bring goods or advertise, Shen Jiayue did not agree.

Lin Xu said:

"President Hou contacted me years ago and asked Dundun to place a Maisari car model next to her during the live broadcast. I didn't agree at the time, but since they have increased the money this time, I will ask Sister Yan to talk to them about it. Implanted contract."

Although you are not allowed to accept any advertisements, if you endorse something yourself, the publicity must be promoted.

Shen Jiayue had a good sense of Maisharui and said with a smile:

"Yes, the brand Mesarui will at least not ruin the reputation of our family... Yesterday I checked on the official website of Mesarui. Not only are their cars expensive, but the car peripherals are also super expensive, including a child seat." The chair can actually be sold for six figures, I really know how to cut the leeks of the rich."

In my impression, a child seat only costs a few hundred yuan. Even if it is more expensive, it costs up to a thousand yuan.

Mesarui sells for hundreds of thousands, and even Lin Xu is curious about who the target customers of these seats are.

Shen Guofu said with a smile:

"This kind of positioning is generally not for selling, but to highlight the brand value. The use of accessories, jewelry, tools and other ancillary items can increase customer recognition and increase brand cohesion, which can be regarded as maintaining a strong style."

High-end brands often have similar operations.

For example, in the past few years, those high-end mooncakes often cost tens of thousands per box.

Even though we know that the sales volume is not high and no one even buys it, we will still place it in a prominent position in the shopping mall. The purpose is to increase the style and attract the public's attention with gimmicks.

While everyone was choosing dishes, Lin Xu came to the kitchen, took out the multi-grain noodles in the kitchen, and started kneading the noodles.

The so-called multi-grain noodles generally refer to sorghum flour, corn flour and bean flour. Steamed steamed buns made of these three types of noodles are called multi-grain noodles.

In addition to these three types, millet noodles, pea noodles, mung bean noodles, black bean noodles and flour ground from various coarse grains can also be added to the multigrain nest.

Coarse grains is a general term that refers to all whole grains except rice and noodles.

But in real life, the so-called coarse grains are actually not very coarse, because now it is advocated to cook coarse grains carefully.

Eating whole grains in a limited amount is good for your health, but if you really have to do it the same way you did during difficult times, that would not be healthy, it would be self-abuse.

Lin Xu soaked some corn grits in hot water.

Corn grits taste better than cornmeal, and the dietary fiber in corn also helps digestion.

In addition to corn grits, sorghum noodles and soybean noodles are all shelled and finely processed, and he even passes them through a sieve before using them.

Soak the corn grits until soft, add sorghum flour and soybean flour, add a little baking powder, a little salt, and some sugar, and knead it into a dough with hot water.

Finally, put the basin in warm water and start to wash it.

Not long after, the wild vegetables outside had been packed away, and the eldest aunt's family and the second aunt's family were also preparing to drive back. They still had relatives to move around, and they agreed to come back on the sixth day of the lunar new year.

When she left, Chen Meijuan packed a lot of wild vegetables, and also took away a lot of the bacon from home and the soy sauce meat and soy sauce duck that Lin Xu brought from the capital.

There is a large pot of leftover wild vegetables.

Lin Xu planned to scramble the eggs with wild onions. There was a little bit of wild leeks, so he just mixed them into the chicken soup noodles.

As for other wild vegetables, stir-fry some with dried chili peppers, steam some with dry powder, and make the rest into wild vegetable nests.

Wild vegetable nests are relatively simple. Just cut the wild vegetables and put them in a basin, add salt and grain flour, mix them into a dough, and then make individual nests.

When you eat it, it tastes great whether you dip it in garlic paste or chili oil.

After eating big fish and meat for several days, it’s time to eat some fresh wild vegetables.

Lin Xu prepared the wild vegetables and put them into a steaming tray lined with silicone cage cloth. The multi-grain noodles were almost ready.

Put the dough on the chopping board, knead it, and then pull it into dough balls.

Then knead the balls separately, and press your thumb in while kneading to make a concave nest. This is the origin of the name Wowotou.

In fact, there is a similar dim sum in Beijing called Xiaowowo.

Chestnut noodles are used, and the steamed ones are sweet and silky. It is best eaten with honey, the texture is smoother and it tastes more wonderful.

It is said to be Cixi's favorite, but the authenticity is unknown. After all, almost all the delicacies in the capital can be related to Qianlong and Cixi.

That means they can't speak, otherwise they may have to litigate with many people.

Both kinds of steamed buns are prepared and put into the steaming cabinet for steaming.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu mixed some more noodles and prepared to make chicken soup noodles. When eating whole grains, drink some soup to moisturize the stomach and promote digestion.

Because she is going to the capital tomorrow, Chen Yuanyuan is going to pack her things now.

After breakfast tomorrow, I will go to the high-speed rail station and take the bus, trying not to delay having lunch in the store.

The second aunt also went to help. Although she was happy that her daughter had been promoted, she had to go to work on the third day of the new year, which made her feel inexplicably distressed as a mother.

Fortunately, Sister Yuanyuan is very enterprising:

"My brother gave me that stall. I can't be empty-handed and prepare nothing, right? The employees have to go to work on the seventh day of the year, and the store will resume work on the eighth day. I have to make plans in advance."

She has already thought about establishing a foothold in the capital in the past two years, waiting for Chen Shaokang to enter college, and trying her best to apply for schools in the capital.

With his family and relatives around, Chen Shaokang's college career will be much more comfortable.

"Xubao, when will you teach me how to make cut cakes?"

Shen Jiayue had nothing to do, so she took a kiwi fruit brought by her second aunt, peeled it, held it in her hand and ate it slowly.

I couldn't wait for dinner, so I had to eat some fruit first.

Lin Xu brought out the chicken soup that he had cooked in the morning. He originally wanted to make it tomorrow, but thinking that when Sister Yuanyuan took the high-speed rail tomorrow, she could take two pieces with her to eat on the road, so she said:

"Let's do it tonight. I'll teach you how to make it tonight. It's very simple. Apart from the ingredients and sugar, the rest is the combination and placement of the various ingredients."

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she said with a smile:

"That's great, I can't help but want Yan Bao to see it."

Lin Xu smiled bitterly, are you planning to let her break off the sisterhood with you in advance?

The dough that has been made together at this time is still relaxing and cannot be rolled out.

He had nothing to do, so he prepared chili oil, garlic juice, watermelon bean paste and other dipping sauces to go with the steamed buns, as well as side dishes such as pickles and pickled peppers.

Then reheat the leftovers from the morning.

After the dough has rested, roll it out into a thin sheet, put it into the boiling chicken soup, season it, sprinkle with chopped wild leeks, and serve it out in a thermos.

At this time, the steamed buns have also been steamed.

Lin Xu opened the steaming cabinet, took out the steaming tray, and put the steamed cereals and wild vegetables into bamboo baskets. Today's dinner officially started.

The three old people liked Lin Xu's steamed steamed buns very much.

"The wowotou in the past were very rough, but I didn't expect Xiaoxu to make it so exquisitely."

"It tastes different too. It's sweet, with a salty aftertaste. It's not as harsh on the throat as it was in the past."

"Not only did it irritate my throat, but I couldn't digest it after eating too much... Xiaoxu suddenly made the dough heads into snacks."

In fact, the store originally had cereal steamed buns, which were really sold as snacks, so this snack was not difficult at all for Lin Xu.

Take a steamed bun and turn it over, put a little bit of chili oil or watermelon bean paste inside, take a bite of it, and feel your appetite instantly whet your appetite.

Shen Jiayue ate it happily. She thought it was more delicious than white flour steamed buns.

After eating the cereals, she followed Lin Xu's example, dipping a wild vegetable in the chili oil and taking a bite. The freshness of the wild vegetables and the spiciness of the chili oil mixed together, making people feel like they were straight away. Tian Ling Gai is so comfortable.

It was as if after eating light food for a month, I suddenly sat in a hot pot restaurant and ate the spicy butter hot pot that I had been craving for a long time. It was very satisfying.

"This is delicious. I like eating wild vegetables. Xu Bao, what should we do if we can't eat wild vegetables when we go to the capital?"

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Other vegetables can also be used to make steamed buns, such as celery leaves, spinach, chrysanthemum, etc., and many wild vegetables are now cultivated artificially, such as shepherd's purse, which are basically easy to buy."

With the improvement of living standards, many rural ingredients can also be purchased in cities.

As for seasonal ingredients such as Sophora japonica and Yuqian, you can basically see them in the vegetable market every season.

Shen Guofu took a small steamed bun and did not put chili oil or watermelon bean paste in it. Instead, he put a piece of pig head meat in it.

Such a delicious bite, the pork inside is full of oil, and the multi-grain nest outside is delicate and delicious.

The two flavors and textures blend together, which is simply a supreme enjoyment for meat lovers.

Chen Meijuan took a spoon and served chicken soup noodles for everyone. Then she picked up a bowl and tasted it. She was very surprised by Lin Xu's craftsmanship:

"Oh, this is even more delicious than what I made."

Han Shuzhen smiled:

"It's better that you teach me well. In our family, my mother can't cook, and I don't know much about it either. As for Yueyue, let alone..."

She was just about to say that her kitchen novices were from the same origin, when Shen Jiayue said:

"Ahem, I advise someone not to take me with them. I can cook so many delicious things now. I'm going to learn how to make cakes tonight, but it's not like I don't know how to cook."

Hey, you and grandma can brazenly say that you can’t cook.

But as Xu Bao’s wife, how could I not know how to cook?

Han Shuzhen glared at her daughter:

"Again, don't waste ingredients."

"No, I'll make the cut cake tonight, and Sister Yuanyuan can take it on the road tomorrow to eat... If you want to eat it, I can reluctantly let you try it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan bumped shoulders with Shen Jiayue:

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You don't have to be so polite, Sister Yuanyuan."

Han Shuzhen glared at her daughter.

You stinky girl, she is so humble even in her husband’s family.

Who eats cakes in the middle of the night? It’s full of nuts and sugar, and it’s so high in calories. You’ll probably gain several pounds in one bite.

She ignored her daughter and continued to eat. By the way, she planned to dig wild vegetables in the valley tomorrow and the day after. This would not only exercise her body, but also taste ingredients that could not be eaten outside. It was the best of both worlds.

Lao Shen was not very interested in wild vegetables, but he wanted to go to the river and pull out the stones in it.

When he had nothing to do before, he always watched some videos of digging for jade. Now that he had this opportunity, he naturally wanted to experience it. If he could dig up some rare jade, wouldn't it be quite memorable?

But you can't say this, lest your wife will criticize you for not doing your job properly.

Soon, dinner was over. Chen Meijuan and her eldest aunt helped clear the table. Her second aunt took Chen Yuanyuan and explained the precautions on the way to the capital.

"Mom, don't worry. There aren't many people in the business class class I'm sitting in, and Sister Yan will pick me up at the station, so I won't get lost."

The second aunt is not worried, she just can't bear her daughter leaving so soon.

In the kitchen, while Lin Xu was washing the dishes, Chen Meijuan whispered:

"If I don't tell your sister Yuanyuan and let her leave in two days, your second aunt will cry."

Lin Xu said:

"It was her own choice. Besides, Sister Jing is still in the capital. While they are not at work, they can plan for the future of Ziqiang Shengjian..."

It's human nature to always feel uncomfortable after parting.

But for the sake of living, I can only suppress my emotions temporarily and pursue my career.

After the kitchen was tidied up, Shen Jiayue came to the kitchen with a whole box of various nuts and said with a smile:

"Xubao, I'm ready, shall we start now?"

Lin Xu wiped his hands, nodded and said:

"good!"
