Sweet entertainment circle

After Ai Tian said it, He Ming counted the money left on his body, and there was still 70 yuan. According to his observation of the prices of various products in this market just now, if this money is enough to buy the ingredients for making sesame cakes, I'm afraid it's not enough, but it's enough to buy some ingredients for making ordinary pastries.

As for his special skills, He Ming didn't intend to deliberately hide his clumsiness and let his younger brother accept it a little bit. After all, they are so poor now, and his body is weaker than his previous life. He definitely couldn't do it, and he didn't want to wrong himself, so he could only go back to his old business and make some pastries for sale. He just saw from the dessert shop that the pastries in this world are very expensive.

After making up his mind, He Ming saw that it was still early when he got home, so he was not in a hurry to cook.

"Brother, what are you looking for?"

"Steamer."

"Steamer?"

"It's the kind of round bamboo basket used for steaming things." He Ming gestured again, "It's just the kind of steamed buns we saw when we were shopping in the market today."

He Yu shook his head, "We don't have that kind of thing at home."

Isn’t something like a steamer a must-have in the kitchen?Although the two brothers are not doing well now, before their parents died, life at home was not bad.

"Then you—I mean, when your parents are here, what do they use to steam things?"

"I was only six years old when my parents died. If my brother forgets, I won't even remember." The little girl He Yu pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and took out an old aluminum alloy from under the cabinet. Pot, "Grandma Zhang taught me to use this to steam sweet potatoes."

He Ming opened the lid and took a look, and saw that there was a steaming plate with many small round holes inside, and then his eyes lit up, "This is fine, that's what I want. Xiaoyu, help brother clean this pot, Unseal the stove."

Although it looks different, it is not unusable.

"What is brother going to use this pot for?"

"Steamed rice cakes."

He Yu glanced at his brother, after thinking about it, he decided to obediently clean up the pot. It was rare for him to see his brother so passionate, and he really couldn't bear to hit him.

He Ming didn't know about his younger brother's careful thinking. His mind was full of ingredients and pastries, and his subordinates were skillful with rice noodles. He wished he could make all the types of pastries he could make. Unfortunately, he didn't have the money to buy raw materials and tools.

The aluminum pot that has not been used for a long time has a lot of mold spots. The kitchen is a bit hot in this weather. He Yu simply took the pot and went to the faucet outside the house to wash it. He moved a stool to sit there and brush slowly. He was not in a hurry anyway. , in his opinion, whether this pot can be used or not is still a problem.

Just last time, the second aunt bought KFC for his cousin, and his cousin gave them some French fries. I told him to fry the potatoes, but he washed and cut the potatoes. When his brother came to fry them, they were burnt black in the first pot. His brother felt ashamed and threw away the remaining shredded potatoes in a fit of anger.

Anyway, he doesn't believe that his brother can make any rice cakes. It's probably because his brother is greedy and wants to eat the cakes that Aitian said, and wants to support himself.

However, what Ai Tian said is really delicious.

Thinking of this, He Yu licked his lips again, why was he so extravagant back then, he ate the sesame cake in one bite.

"Xiao Yu, have you washed the pot yet?"

"almost."

Seeing the neat lumps stacked in Miseri, He Yu didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Brother, did you do this?"

"Well, but we have less money to take to the streets today, so we can only buy so few materials, and we can't buy those colorful seasoned candied fruit petal decorations. There is no mold at home, and the kneading is uneven. It seems It’s a bit ugly, but the taste is definitely not bad.”

He Ming's expression was a little unnatural. He hadn't made such a poor-looking pastry for many years, and now he also forgot what kind of person his body was before, and spontaneously interpreted He Yu's surprised expression as an expression of embarrassment to him. The cake looks disgusting.

He Yu nodded stiffly, watching his brother put those blocky millet cakes on the steaming board, the movement was so smooth, if it wasn't for the fact that he was guarding his brother almost every inch of the way these days, he would have suspected that his brother was It was really dropped.

After the steamer was placed on the stove, He Yu still stared at the pot on the stove intently.

"Xiao Yu, it's hot here, go blow the fan, it will take at least half an hour."

He Ming saw his younger brother nod his head, and when he looked again, his dark eyes were looking at the pot again. He smiled, and didn't say anything else. He went to the living room to drink some water and blow on the fan again. Out of the corner of the eye, he glanced at the wall clock in the middle, and saw that the pointer had already pointed to twelve o'clock, thinking that it was time to cook.

These days, he has been thinking about the things that the original owner left in his mind. Thank God, the memory left by the original owner is still reliable. He probably knows that there was no such high-level thing as electricity in their era, so he left it to him. In my memory, there are especially a lot about those electrical equipment. Although he will feel startled and scared when using it at first, he will soon get used to it.

I have to say that this era is much better than theirs. Not to mention other things, just this fan. At that time, in addition to constantly sprinkling water on the eaves to dissipate heat in summer, rich people used ice cubes at home. There's really no other way to beat the heat.Unlike now, electric fans and air conditioners are all available.

After resting from the cold, He Ming made a glass of water for his younger brother, and took it to the kitchen. Sure enough, the little kid was still staring at the pot, and sniffed from time to time, smelling the aroma that came out with the steam. Son.

He Ming also shrugged his nose, "Drink your saliva first, smell it, it's probably almost done, don't stand here and wait, help me pick that handful of water spinach, we're going to cook."

"En." He Yu nodded in response, and swallowed again, "Brother, how can this rice cake be so delicious?"

"The rice flour is used. Of course, it is the sweet smell of this rice. It is swelling at the moment, and the taste is at its strongest."

He Yu seemed to understand, seeing his brother go to the rice vat to scoop rice for cooking, he sniffed hard again, and then took the water spinach he just bought and went to the faucet outside.

"Xiao Yu, what are you doing here? Why is it so fragrant?"

As soon as He Yu looked up, he saw Mrs. Zhang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, carrying a big package and was heading to her house. She didn't care about washing the vegetables, so she got up and ran towards her, "Grandma Zhang, you're finally back. "

"You child, why are you crying? I've only been out for a long time. Look at you skinny..."

When He Ming heard the news, he saw this scene. His younger brother was crying in the arms of a strange old woman. After a little thought, he knew who it was, and shyly called out, "Zhang grandmother."

According to the memory left to him by the original owner, he was really embarrassed to face this old lady.

This old lady is a widowed old man who lives next door to his house. Her son died when she was middle-aged, and her husband died when she was old. Fortunately, her body is still strong and she can support herself without any problem.Although the old lady has a bit of a pungent personality, she has taken good care of them since childhood, especially when her parents just passed away, she often brought them meals.

However, later, the second aunt often pointed at Sang and scolded Huai in the village, saying that some people just wanted to do some small favors to coax the little baby to be her grandson, so that they could support her in the future.This word reached the old lady's ears, and she scolded the second aunt's house flatly. The second aunt was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she scolded back immediately.

"You old woman's sordid heart, you still think that no one else knows. I didn't name you, and you just say that I'm talking about you behind your back. Aren't you a guilty conscience? Besides, even if I said you What's the matter, my nephew is taking care of me as the second aunt, why are you rushing to deliver food, let others think of me, thinking that I am short of their food and clothing..."

When He Ming's mother was still there, she didn't kiss this younger sibling, nor her own mother-in-law. Instead, she kissed this old lady. Because of this incident, the second aunt and her mother-in-law hated this old lady, so they would seize the opportunity Now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went into battle together, making people speechless with sharp teeth.

The old lady has been living alone all these years, and she has never lost the gossip of Ke Zikefu. She was bullied by this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law once. It seems that it is better for the brothers.

How could the second aunt be able to swallow this breath, so she urged her mother-in-law to put bad medicine in He Ming's ear, "He Ming, you have to think about it clearly, there is no free lunch in the world, why should an outsider treat you two brothers?" It's so good, it's nothing more than to see that you brothers have no parents to serve, and she took such a cheap thing. Your second aunt is right, she is uneasy and kind, your brother is still young and doesn't understand, you are a teenager It's time for someone to weigh it clearly."

At that time, the original owner didn't understand these people's ways of the world, his ears were soft, and he was taking his younger brother to live with others at the second aunt's house. Both aunt and grandma said that, in the future, if the old lady sent things to her door, he would not want it, and would not allow it. Brother picks up.

As time goes by, the old lady will be chilled.

However, the little girl He Yu is not affected by these things at all, and she is still affectionate to the old lady. She should be sweet and sweet.

Later, the original owner gradually became sensible and knew that the second aunt and grandma treated them badly. Even if he knew that his younger brother and the old lady were close, he pretended not to notice.

Therefore, in recent years, the relationship between the two families has not been very good on the surface, but secretly, the two brothers have eaten snacks such as corn on the cob and eggs given by the old lady, and there is no such thing as delivering meals in a serious manner.

This time the original owner had an accident, and it happened that the old lady went to other provinces to visit her old sister, otherwise the two brothers would not have such a miserable life, drinking white rice porridge continuously.

The original owner was thick-skinned, but He Ming was not. After being glared at by the old lady, his face turned even redder, "Grandma Zhang, come and sit in the room. It's hot outside, so I'm going to have lunch."

As soon as He Ming said this, the old lady Zhang was stunned. Just now she was still wondering what was wrong, but now she realized that when did He Ming treat her so affectionately? Don't even call, now not only call someone, but also invite her to the house?

However, the old lady didn't think about other things, thinking that he had seen clearly the character of his second uncle and aunt's family after what happened a few days ago.But as soon as she came back, she heard about the lack of heart that the second son of the He family had done, so she didn't care about resting at home, put down her luggage, and hurried to see the two brothers.

"Look at the two of you, you both look malnourished. He Ming, I'm not talking about you. You're an adult and you need to grow up."

The old lady Zhang is really distressed. In the past, when the boss of the He family was still alive, there was nowhere to find a young man who was more handsome than this He Ming. Look at him, he is as thin as a bamboo pole in just a few years.

"Grandma, don't talk about brother, brother already knows." In the past, He Yu would not have protected his brother so much, but since his brother recovered from his illness, he has been treated well, not only that, but also made pastries. Miles, it's delicious.

Mrs. Zhang tapped his forehead, "Look, this is the kiss, grandma hasn't said anything yet." Then, she looked at He Ming again, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Well, you are a very lucky child, you must be a blessed one in the future, you will see, you seem to be a lot more sensible."

He Ming looked at his younger brother who was secretly sticking out his tongue at him, and smiled, "Grandma, I'll save it." Then he waved to his younger brother, "Xiao Yu, don't get bored with grandma under the sun, let grandma come in." Go to the house and blow the fan to cool it down."

"Okay, grandma, let me go into the house. My brother is going to cook. You will have lunch at our house today. By the way, my brother can make pastries now. The sweet smell is the rice made by my brother." Cake, it will be ready soon."

The author has something to say: He Yu: Brother must have seen Grandma Zhang bring a big bag of snacks before calling me?

Mingming: Nonsense, is brother this kind of person?

He Yu: Then don't eat the popsicles that Grandma Zhang gave...

Mingming: Do you know that kindness is hard to turn down? (becoming angry from embarrassment)

He Yu: Cut...
