Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 130 Mahogany
Xu Ning from the security unit tied magnets to the head of the baton from somewhere, one for each hole.

This thing is effective for iron-containing things, basically useless for other metals, but it can act as a deterrent.

I don't know if this kind of inspection will become the norm, and a gust of inspection has no effect.

Pushing the bicycle and standing there looking at it for a while, I stopped waiting to get off work. I pushed the bicycle outside the door and rode to the address given by Shazhu, which was in Haizibian Hutong.

When passing by the flea market in front of Wen San'er's house, he turned in.

At this time, the sky was beginning to darken, and the bustling crowd in the market was about to leave. It was rare for Li Xuewu to push a cart in like this.

This market should be managed. The stalls or carts on both sides are neatly arranged, and it is not difficult to push a cart to walk inside.

Passing by a group of pigeon households who were about to close their stalls, they moved the cages and made the pigeons "cuckoo".

After groping around for a while, I saw a second-hand kitchen utensil seller, pushing a cart and walking past.

The owner of the stall was a man in his thirties who was loading second-hand goods on a trolley. Seeing Li Xuewu walking over with the trolley, he quickly put down his work and asked with a smile, "What do you want to see?"

Li Xuewu stepped aside to get on the cart, squatted in front of the stall, and knocked on the dark brown frying spoon. The quality was not bad, and it made a clang.

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't answer, but squatted on the ground looking at the frying spoon, it meant that he was going to buy kitchen utensils. The stall owner didn't care about Li Xuewu's attitude, and said with a smile: "Big brother, we use all the kitchen utensils for ourselves, master After being laid off, money is tight, so why don’t you sell it for money?”

Li Xuewu leaned down and took a look. The bottom of the pot was scraped very clean, without scratches (read wèn), but traces of use could still be seen, and the wooden handle of the spoon could also be seen from old use.

"How much is a frying spoon like this?"

The big man said: "This kind of frying pan is Zhangqiu's old handicraft, you can give me 9 cents."

The common people call the frying pan a frying spoon, but this big man stubbornly corrected the name.

Li Xuewu asked: "How many mouths do you have?"

When the big man heard that this comrade wanted to buy more, he quickly replied: "There are still 5 more."

Li Xuewu nodded and said again: "I'll pick and choose later, do you have a hand spoon? Give me a good-looking one."

The big man nodded hurriedly, pointed to the car and said, "Yes, yes, it's over here, take a look."

Li Xuewu walked to the trolley and took a look. The big man put it away earlier, and there were seven or eight white steel hand spoons with wooden handles stacked in the box, which were okay and met his needs.

I chose a handle with good quality and took it out.

The hand spoon Li Xuewu wanted was a spoon with a long handle and a relatively large head, which could be used for adding water, stirring soup, and adding seasonings.

Looking at the handleless double-eared iron pot on the car, the diameter is about 40 centimeters, and the appearance is quite good, so he said to the big man next to him: "How much is this?"

The big man didn't know whether Li Xuewu wanted the handle or not, but he still replied: "The handleless one is a cast iron pot, which is used for stewing. You can give me 8 cents."

Li Xuewu nodded and pointed at the wooden handle wok and stewpan on the ground with the spoon in his hand and said: "One wok, one wok, I'll take a look at the kitchen knife and chopping board, I'm going to start the fire myself, you here If it’s all there, I’ll buy it all from you.”

The big man said happily: "Then I will pick it up for you."

While talking, the big man stacked the two pots picked out by Li Xuewu and put them on the side, and opened the goods that had just been loaded into the cart.

The big man said to Li Xuewu: "A few days ago, I packed up a whole set of kitchen tools. Today is a coincidence. Come and have a look. You can choose what you need."

Li Xuewu picked the corner of his eyes and looked into the car. It was really complete, as the big man said, he brought out the whole set of tools of a cook.

The whole set of pots includes: wok, steamer, soup pot, casserole, hot pot, and pan.

The whole set of knives includes: piece knife, mulberry knife, civil and military knife, machete, leather knife, skin knife, bone chopping knife, boning knife, pork knife, roast meat knife.

There are also colanders, cutting boards, bowls, plates, rolling pins, and other tools.

"I want this set of pots except for the two I picked just now. I also want this set of knives. I don't want the rest. I feel comfortable using new bowls and plates."

The big man anxiously pointed to the chopping board and rolling pin and said: "Our chopping board is made of iron wood, and it will never drop slag. In the early years, iron wood was produced in our Ershan Mountain, but it was all chopped up. Take a look at this piece." , such a well-equipped iron and wood cutting board is rare.”

Li Xuewu knows that ironwood is a famous hardwood in the world. Ironwood is hard and has excellent mechanical properties, but it is rare in later generations, so I really don't know that it can be used as a cutting board.

The chopping board that the big man is pointing at now has a diameter of more than 50 centimeters, and the entire log is cross-cut, with a width of more than ten centimeters, and is surrounded by a circle of iron hoops.

Seeing that the big man was indeed a little anxious, Li Xuewu looked at the thing and said, "All right, all right, I'll take it."

Seeing that the sales promotion was effective, the big man said again: "Look at our two rolling pins, which are made of genuine Chinese toon wood. You can see how dark the color is. You smell it, and they have a fragrance."

While talking, he asked Li Xuewu to smell it, and it did have the scent of Chinese toon, just like the smell of Chinese toon leaves.

"Toon wood is very resistant to corrosion and can keep away insects. The old saying "mahogany" refers to toon wood"

The big man looked like you have earned something if you catch up, and said: "You also know that toon leaves are edible and are often picked by people, which limits the growth of toon trees, so we rarely see that kind of mature trees."

Li Xuewu took two rolling pins, big and small, in his hands dumbfounded, and the big man told Li Xuewu the origin of these two rolling pins.

"There are many kinds of rolling pins, including one-handed sticks, double-handed sticks, olive sticks, flower rolling pins, and walking mallets."

"Our two rolling pins are commonly used by masters in Henan. The dumpling wrappers and wonton wrappers use small rolling pins with two pointed ends, while the noodles are thick and long with large rolling pins of the same diameter."

Li Xuewu knew what the big man meant. The master Baian in the north was the most famous in Shandong and Henan. The big man meant to put nameplates on these two rolling pins.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, and you will give me a good price"

Li Xuewu could tell that this guy was also a chef, otherwise he couldn't have explained it in such detail and so clearly.

Although the big man was surprised that Li Xuewu asked for so much, he was really happy. He helped Li Xuewu tie up these things with straw ropes and hang them on the back seat of the bicycle.
