Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chapter 173 Steamed Buns

The next day, Chen Feng did not get up early as usual. After all, he had already sent all the New Year's benefits to the scrap yard, so it didn't matter to him whether to go to the scrap yard or not.

Jin Ling had already gone to work, while Jin Ming was on vacation at home, enjoying a rare lazy sleep with Chen Feng. It was not until after nine in the morning that Chen Feng slowly got up from the bed.

In fact, Jin Ling was supposed to go to work yesterday, but Chen Feng successfully persuaded her to skip work for a day. However, her skipping work did not cause much problem, because her daily job was just to open the door.

Even if she is not there, the night shift security guards will open the door according to regulations when it is time to go to work to ensure that everyone can go to work smoothly. Therefore, Li Guotao should not have too many opinions about Jin Ling's skipping work.

Chen Feng stretched and climbed up from the bed. After a simple wash, he went out to the alley to buy some buns and fried dough sticks for breakfast.

After returning home, he placed the steaming food on the table in the main room, then went into Jin Ming's room to wake him up.

Looking at Jin Ming who was still asleep, Chen Feng gently pushed him: "Little lazy guy, you're getting up only when the sun is shining on your butt!"

Jin Ming opened his eyes dazedly and saw Chen Feng standing beside the bed. He muttered, "Oh, let me sleep a little longer..."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Okay, okay, hurry up and get up. We still have to go out and play after breakfast!"

After hearing this, Jin Ming immediately sat up, rubbed his eyes, and quickly put on his clothes. After washing up, the two sat at the table together to enjoy a delicious breakfast.

While eating the buns, Jin Ming excitedly said to Chen Feng: "Brother-in-law, where are we going to play today?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "I have something else to do today, go and play by yourself! But don't go too far, okay?"

Jin Ming nodded happily: "Okay, I understand. Xiaolong and I will play at the gate."

After breakfast, Jin Ming couldn't wait to run out to play with Xiaolong and the others, while Chen Feng stayed at home to clean up the dishes and went into Jin Ming's room again to check on the dough fermentation.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Feng found that the dough had almost fermented. He nodded with satisfaction, and looked at his watch again, and found that it was almost ten o'clock.

"Time flies!" he said to himself.

Since the dough is ready, there is no need to delay any longer. So Chen Feng took the basin into the kitchen without hesitation and prepared to start steaming the buns.

Before steaming the buns, Chen Feng took out a large piece of fat from the space. He put the fat on the chopping board, then skillfully picked up the kitchen knife and cut it into pieces.

Then he put the pieces of meat into the pot and started to boil a pot of fragrant lard.

However, what Chen Feng really wanted was not the lard itself, but the delicious lard residue left after boiling the lard.

Among the welfare benefits distributed by the scrap station the day before yesterday were some vermicelli, and today he could use the lard and vermicelli to steam two baskets of buns.

While Chen Feng was concentrating on boiling lard, he had already soaked the vermicelli in warm water. He observed the changes of the vermicelli from time to time until he saw them gradually soften.

When he was sure that the vermicelli had become soft, he did not rush to take them out, but let them soak for a while while Chen Feng went to knead the dough to make steamed buns.

When the first pot of steamed buns began to cook, Chen Feng finally turned his attention to the vermicelli. He gently scooped out the vermicelli and let them drain.

After processing the vermicelli, Chen Feng started rolling out the bun skins without stopping. When he saw that the bun skins were almost done, Chen Feng stopped.

He turned around and looked at the vermicelli on the side, and found that they were almost dry. So he immediately started to prepare the stuffing.

After the fillings were ready, Chen Feng did not stop, but quickly started making dumplings. When a pot of dumplings was finished, the steamed buns on the stove were also cooked.

He carefully took out the steamed buns, put them into the steamer, and continued to steam them. However, at this time, Chen Feng's speed of making buns was obviously much slower.

It turned out that the reason why Chen Feng was in such a hurry before was because Jin Ling would be home from get off work in a little while. If the buns were not steamed yet and he did not cook today, Jin Ling might only be able to eat steamed buns when she got home.

Now that the buns were cooked successfully, Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he only had to wait for Jin Ling to come home and let her eat the buns directly, so that Chen Feng would not have to cook anymore.

Just when the buns were almost ready, Chen Feng suddenly heard footsteps outside, followed by Jin Ming's miserable voice.

"Sister! Sister! Be gentle! You almost twisted my ears off! Sister! Please let go of my hand, and I promise to go home with you obediently!"

With a loud bang, the door was pushed open, and Chen Feng quickly turned sideways from the kitchen to look outside.

Jin Ling was seen pulling Jin Ming's ears and walking towards the house at a brisk pace. Chen Feng only took a glance at Jin Ming's condition and understood why Jin Ling was so angry that she wanted to pull Jin Ming's ears.

I don't know what happened to Jin Ming. He had only been out for two hours and his clothes had already become dirty and messy. There were dirty spots all over his body. No wonder Jin Ling was so angry.

Chen Feng looked at Jin Ling who had been holding Jin Ming's ears tightly and refused to let go. Seeing that the base of Jin Ming's ears had turned red, he spoke to Jin Ling.

"Jin Ling! I think Jin Ming knows he's wrong, so just let go of your hand! Otherwise, Jin Ming's ears will definitely be pulled off by you!"

When Jin Ming heard Chen Feng's plea, he also said in a hurry, "Sister, brother-in-law is right! If you don't let go, my ears will fall off!"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling snorted at Jin Ming and said, "It's because your brother-in-law pleaded for you. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble today! Now hurry back to your room and practice calligraphy!"

After saying that, Jin Ling let go of her hand. When Jin Ming saw Jin Ling let go of her hand, he dared not stay in the main room anymore and ran back to his room.

After Jin Ming ran back to the room, Jin Ling also walked into the kitchen and saw Chen Feng making dumplings, so Jin Ling also prepared to wash her hands and help make them.

When Chen Feng saw Jin Ling washing her hands and preparing to make dumplings, he immediately stopped her and said, "Jin Ling, you don't have to get involved. I can do it by myself. Just watch the pot and call me when the dumplings are cooked."

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Jin Ling did not insist on making the dumplings. She knew her own skills, so she did not try to force herself. Instead, she stood beside Chen Feng and watched him make the dumplings.

Chen Feng looked at Jin Ling who was standing next to him, so he asked, "Jin Ling, you didn't go to work yesterday. Did Station Master Li say anything to you today?"

When Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said, she did not answer Chen Feng immediately, but looked at Chen Feng with a strange look, and then said, "Stationmaster Li didn't say anything to me."

Jin Ling paused for a moment, then continued, "He asked me why I didn't go to work yesterday. I said I went shopping with you, and then Station Master Li said, don't let me learn from you."

Jin Ling also stopped talking at this point. Chen Feng saw her stop, so he asked, "What are you learning from me?"

Jin Ling hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Stationmaster Li told me not to learn from you to be lazy every day. He said that as an employee of the station, you are either fishing or shopping at home every day, which is too unmotivated."

Chen Feng didn't know how to refute Jin Ling's words. What should he say? What Li Guotao said was basically true, and Chen Feng couldn't refute it!

So Chen Feng thought for a moment and said to Jin Ling, "Wife! Don't listen to Li Guotao! He said these things just to sow discord between us! Yes! That's right, it's to sow discord!"

Jin Ling was a little confused when she heard what Chen Feng said. She didn't know what Li Guotao said was provocative, so she asked Chen Feng, "Is Stationmaster Li trying to provoke me again? Why didn't I hear that?"

In fact, Chen Feng didn't hear where Li Guotao was provoking him. Anyway, Chen Feng was just talking nonsense just now.

So Chen Feng said to Jin Ling, "Jin Ling! You have to listen to your husband, okay? I told him to instigate, and he did."

When Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said, she was speechless, but she didn't want to argue with Chen Feng, so as not to affect the relationship between husband and wife, so Jin Ling said, "Well! Honey, it's what you say!"

Seeing that Jin Ling agreed with what he said, Chen Feng said with a smile, "Well! Jin Ling is really good!"

Seeing Chen Feng coaxing her like a child, Jin Ling really didn't know how to respond. Just when Jin Ling was in a dilemma, the steamer happened to open.

Jin Ling hurried to take the buns out of the pot, so she didn't have to respond to Chen Feng. Chen Feng saw that she didn't respond to him, so he just thought she was busy and didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he didn't care.

After seeing Jin Ling take the buns out of the pot, Chen Feng said to Jin Ling: "I'm not going to cook today, you and Jin Ming can eat buns for lunch today!"

When Jin Ling heard what Chen Feng said, she immediately replied, "Okay, husband, I understand.

After hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng didn't say anything more. He just silently put the buns back into the pot and turned on the fire to steam them again.

By around two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng had finally steamed all the buns and steamed buns.

He looked at the pile of steamed buns in front of him, and felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. These steamed buns were made by him, and each one represented his hard work and dedication.

At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly felt hungry in his stomach. He realized that he had not eaten lunch yet.

However, he was too tired to spend time and energy on cooking, so he decided to eat a few buns to fill his stomach first.

Chen Feng picked up the steamed buns and took a bite. He immediately found them delicious. The buns had thin skin and large fillings, and the fragrance was overflowing, making him eat them with relish. He ate three buns in one breath before he felt a little full.
