Chapter 29 Spicy Steamed Buns

Author: Mu Shenghua

Jiang Miao sat cross-legged, "The man who broke the door last time must have come for the children in the village. Aunt Zhang said that he was still staring at Niuniu today. He must have felt that there was no one in our house last time, so he dared to break the door.

.”

Cheng Huai calmed down and the heat in his chest dissipated. He had guessed it when Jiang Miao asked Aunt Zhang just now.

A stranger stayed in the village just to find out which children were in each family and when the adults were not at home.

The last time he dared to open the door openly, he knew that he and Yu Ying were not at home, so he was not afraid of being discovered.

If Jiang Miao hadn't happened to be there, Dabao and Xiaobao might have really been taken away.

"What method?" Cheng Huai was curious about Jiang Miao's thoughts.

Jiang Miao raised her head and looked at him, "Since he makes us feel uneasy, we will take the initiative to get rid of him. Then we may need to ask Aunt Li for help..."

After hearing her thoughts and plans, Cheng Huai was a little surprised, surprised that she could think so much.

He stood up and looked at her thoughtfully for a while, "I'll go out."

Cheng Huai went out to make arrangements, and Jiang Miao wasn't sleepy anymore. She simply got up to eat dates, then walked slowly to the kitchen.

Going to town tomorrow, Yu Ying kneaded a lot of dough and it is still fermenting.

The stuffing has been prepared, the same stuffing with cabbage and wild vegetables, and the same stuffing with pickles from last time.

Both flavors are good, but you may get tired of them after eating them a few times. After all, one has a very bland taste, while the other only has a dry, salty taste.

Jiang Miao went to the vegetable garden on the left, where a lot of peppers were planted, so she went in with a basket and picked half of the basket.

Wash it quickly and put it on a wooden cutting board. Chop the pepper into pieces. Put it in a bowl and add two spoons of sesame oil and one spoon of salt. Stir it with chopsticks to get the flavor. Divide one-fifth of the pickle filling and mix it with the pepper powder.

The chili pickle stuffing is ready. It is refreshing, spicy and has a unique fragrance.

When she went out in the past few days, she saw that no matter who was eating, there were chili peppers in the bowls. Yu Ying would also put chili peppers in the cooking, and it was a must-have in every dish. It was obvious that most people in Lushui Village loved spicy food.

She just didn't know what the tastes of the people in the town were like, but she didn't adjust a lot and planned to go to the town to try it tomorrow.

After tossing in the kitchen for a while, the dough had fermented to twice its size, and Yu Ying happened to come over.

"Miao girl, why don't you take a nap?"

Jiang Miao kneaded the fermented dough, turned around and said, "Mom, I couldn't sleep, so I made a new filling."

"What kind of stuffing is it?" Yu Ying came over to take a look curiously. When she saw that the bowl was full of chili peppers, she couldn't help but laugh, "There are so many chili peppers."

"Well, I think Mom and Cheng Huai both like chili peppers. Why don't you try it in steamed buns?"

"I love eating it, but if you tell people who buy steamed buns that it contains chili pepper, they won't like it and think it's not worth the money."

Chili peppers are usually added when cooking to add flavor to the meal. How can they be used directly as the main filling?

Normal people would feel that they are at a disadvantage, and this is worth less than cabbage.

Jiang Miao thought it made sense, "Mom, how about we just make these and try them? If no one buys them, it will be an advantage for me. I love spicy food."

Yu Ying naturally agreed: "Okay, if you like to eat it, my mother will make it specially for you."

Jiang Miao smiled and nodded: "Mom is so kind to me."

The dough has been kneaded. Jiang Miao and Yu Ying divided it into half each and began to fill it with stuffing, then put it into the pot to steam.

The steamed buns with different filling flavors are served separately, so that people who buy the steamed buns will not be confused when they ask.

Jiang Miao counted and found that there were only fifteen steamed buns stuffed with spicy pickles. If she couldn't sell them, she would just eat the spicy steamed buns for a few days and she would be able to solve the problem.

There were a lot of steamed buns and they needed to be steamed in two batches. Yu Ying controlled the fire under the stove and took the time to add more firewood.

The two pots of steamed buns were steamed for more than half an hour. Jiang Miao helped Yu Ying separate the buns and disperse the moisture.

After finishing these, Yu Ying packed two more bowls of steamed buns and carried them to the front room with Jiang Miao.

Dabao and Xiaobao woke up and asked Jiang Miao to take them to pee.

Soon, Aunt Li's son Li Dahu came, holding a bow and arrow in his hand.

Yu Ying's face was full of smiles, "The big tiger is coming!"

"Hello, Auntie." Li Dahu called out honestly. He and Cheng Huai had the best relationship in the village. The two often went hunting in the mountains together.

Yu Ying directly brought the steamed bun bowl over, "Here, eat two steamed buns, they were just made at home."

Li Dahu smiled shyly: "Thank you, Auntie!"

Jiang Miao came in from the back with her big and small babies. Cheng Huai gave her some steamed buns to eat. He then took the two children into his arms and patted their butts.

The buns were still warm. Thinking of the new stuffing she had made, Jiang Miao took one and let him taste it, "Cheng Huai, you can eat it too."

The man's face tightened a bit, as if he was embarrassed.

Only then did Jiang Miao see that there was a tall man with a square, dark face beside him, holding a bun and eating it while looking at Cheng Huai and her curiously.

This should be Aunt Li's son Li Dahu.

Meeting Jiang Miao's gaze, Li Dahu immediately shouted loudly: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Jiang Miao was shocked by the roar and quickly replied with a smile: "Hello, brother Dahu."

Brother Cheng Huai is a straightforward and honest man, and his voice is deafening.

Why doesn’t Cheng Huai like to talk?

Jiang Miao's eyes slowly fell on Cheng Huai's face. He had already taken the buns handed to him and started eating them, and he seemed to have a good appetite.

"Is it delicious?" she asked him expectantly.

Cheng Huai raised his eyes to look at her, bit the bun and nodded.

This is the first time I have eaten spicy steamed buns, they are very spicy.

Cheng Huai didn't say anything, but Dahu responded first with a loud voice: "It's delicious! This steamed bun is so spicy, it's even more delicious than what my mother makes!"

"Oh, the steamed buns I made are not delicious, so don't ask me to make steamed buns for you in the future. You won't even get a share if you beg me!" Li Guihua stood at the door with her hands on her hips and angrily.

Li Dahu gnawed on the buns for a moment, then turned around and saw Li Guihua coming, and immediately got scared: "Mom, the buns you make are delicious, I love them all."

Li Guihua snorted again, and Yu Ying handed the bun to her with a smile, "Don't be angry with the children. You should also try this bun. My Miao girl figured it out."

Li Guihua took the bun and said, "If you ask me, a daughter is better. She is considerate and well-behaved. She is much better than a son." As she spoke, she glanced at Li Dahu.

Naturally, Li Dahu ate the buns silently and did not dare to say a word. Only then did Li Guihua break open the buns and take a bite.

"It's the first time I've eaten pepper stuffing. It tastes good." Li Guihua nodded with satisfaction, "I'll try it next time too."

Seeing that everyone liked the spicy buns, Jiang Miao became confident about selling buns tomorrow.
