The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 91 The Chef Who Eats Dog Food
"It's delicious! Especially when dipped in sugar, it tastes amazing!"

"I also love to eat sticky bean buns. Every year before the Chinese New Year, I save some for Chinese New Year."

"Why do I feel... that this thing is only available in the Northeast? In the south, I've only heard of red bean paste buns, but I've never heard of nian sticky bean buns."

Li Yuan: "Well, that's true, because this soybean bun first appeared in the northern region. Later, with the migration of the population in many areas in North China, soybean buns with white flour as the skin gradually appeared. In order to distinguish it from steamed buns, some people began to use it. The rouge is dotted with red dots on it, which is the origin of the bean paste bun."

Li Yuan walked into the kitchen while talking, at this moment, the master who went out to hold firewood had already returned.

"Xiao Yuan, why are you here so early? You can only eat these bean buns in the afternoon!"

The old lady on the side smiled and said, "Xiao Yuan said to come over and help me."

When the master heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Just you, brat, I don't know if you know how to make beanbags. When you were young, you were the first to steal beanbags!"

Everyone in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing when they heard the master's complaints.

"I didn't expect our anchor to be so naughty when we were young."

"Haha, the anchor has been exposed, right? No wonder the anchor is so slippery up and down the mountain now, it seems that it is the experience accumulated when he was a child."

The old lady couldn't help but smiled and said: "Okay, don't you want to help, hurry up, pour out the red bean water, put it in the pot and steam it."

Li Yuan agreed with a smile, and then quickly started to help.

Having a young labor force does save a lot of time. Li Yuan is quick and quick, and he is quite familiar with the process of watching his elders make soybean buns since he was a child.

Not long after the conference, Li Yuan had already finished the preparations, and then started to cook the red beans.

On the other hand, Master Li Yuan and the old woman became the ones who were idle.

"In fact, this sticky bean bun is simply a special food made from yellow rice noodles."

"In the earliest days, farmers had two meals a day. Breakfast at dawn, then work in the fields, and dinner at night to fill their stomachs. But such two meals a day are too long for farmers who do heavy physical labor. , After a long time, people can't bear it."

"Because of this, farmers use yellow rice to grind flour every year in winter, make egg-sized bean buns with bean filling inside, and put them outside to freeze until they are ready to be steamed when they go to the fields in spring. Because of the yellow rice Rice is a kind of food that digests slowly, which is what everyone calls... to fight hunger, so the sticky bean buns made of yellow rice flour have become the main food for farmers.”

"After a long time, this sticky bean bun has also been used as a folk food during the Spring Festival, especially loved by farmers."

"However, it's the same as big pancakes, because people's living standards are getting better and better now, and sticky bean buns are not just used to fight hunger, but as an authentic food with northern characteristics."

While explaining the origin of the sticky bean buns to everyone, Li Yuan kept adding firewood to the stove pit.

"I remember when I used to live in the village, when it entered the twelfth lunar month, it was freezing cold in the northeast, which was when sticky bean buns were on the market."

"At that time, every household in the countryside was busy steaming sticky bean buns around the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. It produces fine grains, and only one or two catties of white flour or rice is supplied every New Year’s festival, and sticky bean buns are the most luxurious food for rural people.”

As Li Yuan said, he seemed to think of the tempting aroma when steaming sticky bean buns.Every time the pot is opened, the children watching around the pot can't control their salivation when they see the delicious sticky bean buns.

"It's so pitiful to hear what the anchor said..."

"Was the Northeast so poor before?"

"Yeah, I think so too."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "In the past, the conditions in the Northeast were not very good because of the freezing weather."

"So many foods that are only unique to the north appeared in that era. Of course, this is also related to the unique weather in the Northeast."

"It's like being in the south, but there are also many southern delicacies."

"But now that the conditions are better, the choices are naturally much greater, but sometimes the customs passed down from generation to generation by the elderly in the family still affect many people."

The hot air on the pot surged, and in less than half an hour, the red beans in the pot were completely cooked, and as soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of red beans wafted instantly.

Li Yuan fished out the red beans and put them in a large basin that was prepared aside.

At this time, the grandmother also came out of the house.

The old lady picked up the spoon on the side and pressed it on the red beans that had been scooped out. Sure enough, it was already soft and sticky, just right.

"Well, it's pretty good. It's neither hard nor too rotten. It seems that Xiao Yuan really knows how to do it?"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Of course, I'm a chef."

Li Yuan's words couldn't help but make the old lady beside him laugh.

"Okay, Master Chef Li, then you can do it, and I'll save you trouble."

Li Yuan nodded and agreed: "Okay, this year's sticky bean buns are on me."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan poured the diced red dates and glutinous rice flour that had been prepared on the side into the red beans. One of these two things is to enhance the aroma of the red beans, and the other is to enhance the taste of the red beans.

Adding glutinous rice flour is also a matter of experience. Although the old lady at the side said that Li Yao made it by himself, she still stood aside with a little worry, and planned to see it before talking.

But obviously Li Yuan's cooking is quite good, the glutinous rice flour is just right, and there is no need to add the second kind, seeing this, the old lady can't help but feel relieved.

"I'll leave the kitchen to you. I can go inside to warm up for a while."

After finishing speaking, the old lady wiped her hands, then turned around and walked back into the house, and just as the door was closing, Li Yuan heard the master's voice coming from the house.

"I told you to go inside and wait, if he wants to do it, let him do it, why are you suffering this..."

When everyone in the live broadcast room heard the master's words, they couldn't help laughing again,

"Suffer...the anchor is so pitiful."

"It's really pitiful, but I don't know why, but I want to laugh inexplicably."

"Haha, I like the anchor's master and grandma's family so much, the atmosphere is really good."

"Especially every time the anchor is in front of this old couple, he can eat a big wave of dog food. I just feel inexplicably cool, haha!"

Li Yuan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly.

Really... It's hard to be single.
