Chapter 12: The Great Gathering Every Five Days

He was even afraid that she wouldn't be able to do the job, so he arranged a marriage for him early and married Lin Yan.

Although it was partly because he was in poor health and wanted to be happy, the bigger purpose was to worry that no one would be able to do the work at home.

Therefore, Huang's performance these days really surprised him.

He did not persuade Mr. Huang not to continue selling pancakes. After all, he still had to copy books to make money, and he couldn't really leave all the work to Lin Yan.

Therefore, after feeling distressed, Shen Jing'an just said: "If mother feels comfortable, my son will come over and massage it for you every day."

After hearing this, Mrs. Huang felt that these words made her feel more comfortable than the warm water in the basin. She smiled and refused: "How can that be done? You have to copy so many books every day and review your homework. If you keep doing this, you will not be able to do anything." What can I do if I'm tired again?"

Shen Jingan's health has been poor since she was a child. She can't blow or get tired, and can't think too much.

How could Mrs. Huang be willing to let him come over and massage her feet every day?

But Shen Jingan didn't listen to her: "Just this little thing, how can it be compared to the two of you being tired in front of the shop? It's because my son is useless, that's why you two have to work so hard every day."

Huang, who originally felt that she was tired from working so hard, suddenly felt no longer miserable when she heard this: "I'm tired no matter where I am. It's just a morning's work. I can rest after closing the stall at noon."

Shen Jingan did not continue to discuss this topic with Mr. Huang, since he would come over every afternoon anyway.

Huang ran around and took a nap for a while, then asked Lin Yan to wake her up.

Lin Yan was going to get the steamer in the afternoon, and just in time, the bucket of wheat ground two days ago was almost used up, so he had to buy some more.

The shop's business seemed to be stable, so Lin Yan decided to buy more at once this time, and then planned to call Mr. Huang along.

After Shen Jingan heard about it, he put down his pen and said that he wanted to go with him. He thought that such a big steamer was bought two sets at once, and Lin Yan and Huang had to buy other things. I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back.

They first went to the grain store to buy wheat, and then went to the mill to grind it into flour.

Thinking that there was not much sugar in the clay pot, I bought a small bag of sugar under Huang's pitiful eyes.

Sugar at this time was extremely expensive. Less than a pound of sugar cost nearly a hundred pence.

After all the necessary things were prepared, he went to get the steamer. When he arrived at Mr. Guan's place, Lin Yan stopped by Mr. Guan and asked him to help him make a shovel.

On the second day, there will be a big gathering every five days.

In the memory of the original owner, the number of people in Daji was three times the usual number. Villages a little further away would set off in the middle of the night on the day of Daji, carrying burdens to do business. At the same time, they would also buy some daily necessities such as salt, needlework, and thread. go back.

Even wealthy families in the town and people from the county would come to join in the fun.

Since there will be a lot of people tomorrow, tomorrow is a good time for her to make a name for herself with steamed buns!

That night, Lin Yan soaked beans and went to bed early.

The next day she got up before the rooster crowed.

While kneading the dough with half-closed eyes, he secretly admired himself in his heart.

At this time in the past, she had just put down her phone and was getting ready to sleep, right?

Now I don’t even need the alarm clock anymore, I actually set it on my own initiative.

Lin Yan kneaded the dough according to the proportion, put it in a basin and covered it with a lid to let it rise. He also washed the beans and steamed them first.

After the beans were put on the steamer and the noodles were not ready yet, Lin Yan pulled up a small stool and dozed off against the door frame.

Probably because she was still remembering something, she naturally didn't dare to fall asleep. She dozed off for a while, and got up from time to time to see if her hair was healed.

By the time the dough is done, the beans will be completely rotten.

She took out the beans and filled the pot with water. There was still a small flame left in the stove, but she didn't care, letting the fire warm the cold water in the pot.

Then he took the noodles out of the basin, deflated them, rolled them into long strips, cut them into evenly sized pieces, sorted them out a little, put them in the steamer, and waited for the second time.

Fermentation.

At this time, Lin Yan began to weigh the noodles again and prepared for the second interview.

Wait for the noodles to be fermented again in the basin, and the steamed buns will be ready for the second fermentation.

Each one was swollen and round. Lin Yan washed an egg and put it in. He closed the lid with satisfaction and steamed it over high heat.

At this time, the genius has just begun to dawn.

Lin Yan waited until the steamed buns were steamed and the fire was extinguished. Then she washed her hands, took the two hundred coins that Huang gave her yesterday, and went out.

The market was indeed different from usual days. Normally, she had just gotten up at this time, and the market was still quiet.

Today, Lin Yan just wanted to go out and see if the meat stalls were here. Unexpectedly, most of the stalls on both sides of the market were already occupied.

Apparently these people had just arrived and were packing their loads in the still gray weather.

Lin Yan walked all the way to the meat stall and looked at the stalls on both sides.

It is early summer and the weather is still slightly cool in the morning, which is the time when vegetables grow best.

Later, Lin Yan actually saw leeks in front of a vegetable stall. Leeks were delicious in both pancakes and scrambled eggs, so she couldn't help but buy a small handful.

I also bought some other vegetables and a few carrots, and finally bought a few eggs from the grocery store near the butcher stall.

When buying meat, Lin Yan couldn't help but make a calculation and felt that he should be able to sustain it, so he secretly bought an extra piece of meat.

Because Lin Yan's shop was at the end of Market Street, it wasn't too far away. When Lin Yan went back, the noodles were only half cooked.

She chopped up the meat quickly and used a wok to boil the white meat into oil as usual.

As soon as the white meat was put into the wok, Huang got up. Seeing Lin Yan already busy in the kitchen, she felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Yan hurriedly showed her a big smile and greeted her: "Mom, help me look after this white meat. When it becomes golden, you can fish it out."

She said and gave the shovel to Huang and quickly chopped the meat.

After the meat was rotten, Lin Yan divided the minced meat into two parts, added ginger and garlic to one half, grated the carrots into shreds and mixed in the other half.

The sky is getting brighter and the noodles are almost fermented.

Sprinkling some flour on the chopping board, Lin Yan took out the flour, and after breathing it out for a while, he taught Huang how to make buns.

Huang's hands are particularly skillful.

Just like she is good at rolling out dough, she also learns how to make buns very quickly, and she can quickly make the folds very even and beautiful.

The meat buns are wrinkled, while the bean buns are directly rounded.

After teaching Huang, Lin Yan speeded up and quickly put the buns into the second steamer and steamed them.

Then we started making dough cakes.

Lin Yan also divided the yeast cakes into three types this time.

There are white-haired pancakes with nothing wrapped in them, some with meat fillings, and some bean fillings.
