"Okay, wife, I'll go now." After saying that, Yun the butcher cleaned the big iron pot, added half a pot of water, put the bamboo grate in, covered it with a layer of cage cloth, and covered the pot.
Butcher Yun used hay to ignite the firewood, and then put in a few thicker pieces of firewood. After the firewood in the stove was completely burned, he washed his hands and went to help Zhang roll out the dough.
Zhang had already divided the dough into small pieces. Then, she pressed the small pieces with both hands at the same time and soon flattened them all.
At this time, Yun the butcher took the rolling pin and started rolling the dough. Zhang took this opportunity to add appropriate amount of salt to both fillings and mixed them evenly.
Zhang looked up and saw that Yun the butcher had already rolled out a large pile of dough. So she started to make dumplings quickly. Zhang first made round dumplings with many folds.
All I saw was Zhang putting a large spoonful of stuffing on a piece of dough, then starting to pinch the dough with her right hand, and soon she made a beautiful round bun.
In order to separate the two kinds of fillings, Zhang's dumplings with radish filling are made into round shapes, while the dumplings with cabbage filling are made into the shape of ingots. They are plump and very beautiful.
Butcher Yun and Zhang were both very efficient workers, and they quickly finished wrapping the two kinds of buns. The fillings were all used up, but there was a piece of dough left, which Zhang kept as a spare dough.
Butcher Yun washed his hands, lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. The pot was full of steam, and he listened carefully to the gurgling sound coming from the pot.
"Wife, the water in the pot is boiling. You can put the buns in now."
"Here you are. Help me open the lid of the pot." Zhang came over carrying a large steamed bun with a lid.
Zhang started putting buns into the pot. When the pot was full, there were still half of the buns on the lid.
"Okay, put the lid on the pot and keep the fire burning. The buns will be cooked in about twenty minutes."
"Okay." Yun the butcher covered the pot, put more firewood into the stove, and increased the fire.
Zhang returned to the table and washed a large radish. She cut the radish into thin strips and put the strips into a clay pot. Finally, she added salt, pepper powder, and sesame oil and stirred them evenly. This was a delicious cold dish.
Then, Zhang took out seven bowls and placed them in order, and then added two tablespoons of fried noodles to each bowl in order. After the steamed buns were finished, just add water to the bowl and stir evenly. It is not only convenient but also delicious.
Zhang estimated that it was almost time, so she came to the pot, opened the lid and looked at the buns. The fragrance of the buns instantly came over her. She pressed the buns to make sure they were cooked, and then started picking them out.
By the time Zhang had put the second pot of buns into the big iron pot, the weather had gotten a little cooler. There was already a noisy sound coming from the square.
"Wife, you light the fire. I'll go get some water."
"Okay, boss, just drive the mule cart there." Zhang also knew that buying water was a big deal and could not be delayed.
"Okay." Yun the butcher said, and then he harnessed the mule cart and drove it to the city gate to buy water.
At this time, free water was being drawn at the city gate, and there was no one queuing in front of the officers and soldiers selling water, which was convenient for Yun the butcher.
In a short while, Yun the Butcher filled three water tanks. He paid the soldiers and drove the mule cart back. On the way, he met several villagers from Yunjia Village who came to buy water.
When Yun the butcher arrived home, Zhang's second pot of buns was ready. At this moment, she was taking out the buns that Yun the butcher bought in the city yesterday and putting them in the pot to heat them up again. She would eat them in the morning.
By now, it was already very light.
"Boss, please wake up the children. Once they have washed up, they can have dinner."
Butcher Yun nodded and went to wake the children up.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, Yiyi, Zirui, get up and get ready for dinner."
As soon as Yun the Butcher finished speaking, the three Yun brothers got up one after another.
After a few minutes, Xie Zirui also got up.
Now only Yun Yiyi was still asleep. Just as Yun the Butcher was about to pick her up, Yun Yiyi sat up, rubbing her eyes. That's it, it's easy this time.
So, under the leadership of Boss Yun, the children all went to wash up.
By the time the children sat down at the table, Zhang had already prepared the buns, cold dishes, and fried flour, so they could eat right away.
After Zhang and Yun the butcher sat down, everyone started to eat. Although it was not very bright, it was no problem to eat. So Zhang turned off the oil lamp.
After Yun the butcher and his friends finished their breakfast, the village chief urged them to set off. Everyone hurriedly packed up the things they needed for cooking and eating. Zhang was busy washing the dishes and basins. Several children helped to load the food onto the car.
Yun the butcher also carefully covered the ashes in the stove hole with a thick layer of soil. This way, it is not easy to cause a fire. Yun the butcher originally planned to use water, but later thought about it and decided not to.
After everyone packed up everything and put it on the cart, Yun the Butcher harnessed the cart. Everyone stood by and waited for the Yunjia Village team to walk onto the official road before Yun the Butcher and his men drove the cart to follow.
In front of Yun the Butcher was Old Man Wu and his family. They now had two horse-drawn carriages and a mule-drawn cart, so the line was a bit long.
The Yun family's donkey cart, driven by Yun Lao Er and Yun Lao San, was in the front. The donkey cart was not loaded with heavy things, so Yun Lao Er and his brother both sat on the donkey cart, and the speed was much faster than before.
In the middle were Boss Yun, Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui. Boss Yun was driving the cart. Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui went to sleep in the mule cart again. The sun hadn't come out yet and the temperature was not high, which was the best time to sleep.
At the end of the line was the mule cart driven by Yun the Butcher and Zhang. Yun the Butcher sat outside driving the cart. Zhang had opened the curtain and was cutting a piece of cotton cloth with scissors. She planned to make clothes and quilts for the whole family while traveling during the day.
Zhang used to help push the cart, which was not only tiring but also time-consuming. Now, she can sit on the mule cart, which is not tiring and is just right for making clothes. Zhang happily cuts the cloth, and she can already imagine how cute Yun Yiyi will look in her new clothes.
Zhang planned to make cotton clothes for Xie Zirui after making single clothes for Yun Yiyi. The main reason was that the second and third Yuns could give Xie Zirui two sets of single clothes to change.
However, cotton clothes cannot be evenly distributed. Yun Lao Er and Yun Lao San also need to make another set of thicker cotton clothes.
Therefore, Zhang thought about making two sets of thick clothes for Xie Zirui first, and then for others. After all, the weather can't get cold all of a sudden. However, it has been noticeably cooler in the mornings and evenings recently.
