The poor man grows watermelon

【Magic Pancake Method】

What happened at the gate of the yamen soon spread throughout the county yamen.

Jia Ding said with emotion that if the county magistrate hadn't appeared in time, Su Ye and Yu Feng would really have been caught in prison and suffered a lot.

It was only then that Su Ye found out that although Yu Xiancheng was not a native of Wannian County, the wife he married was from a local rich family. After he became prosperous, he took over the whole family. Even the former county magistrate gave him three points of courtesy.

Although Su Ye was not afraid of him, the leek pancake business was inevitably affected.

On this day, as usual, he took advantage of lunch time to go to the Yamen Gate to accompany Yu Feng.

Compared with the busyness of the past, Yu Feng is very leisurely today, the noodles in the basin hardly move, and the leeks in the basket are also wilted.

In contrast, the area around Yu San's booth was much more lively.Zao slaves and servants who used to crowd around Yu Feng's side every day, now all gathered around them.

Yu Xiancheng stood beside him with his hands behind his back. The servants found a wooden pier from nowhere and put it behind him obsequiously.

Yu Xiancheng swaggered and sat down, his gaze swept across Su Ye, his eyes were full of disdain.

Su Ye withdrew his gaze, and the expression on his face didn't change.

Yu Feng was in a good mood, and when he saw Su Ye coming out, he happily ran to the street to buy half a catty of roasted pork.

He cut the roasted pork into small pieces, spread it on the hot cake, rolled it into a roll and handed it to Su Ye, "I heard that this roasted pork is good, you can try it."

Su Ye took a tentative bite, then wrinkled her nose, um, it's a bit salty and fishy.

He handed the cake to Yu Feng's mouth, "Try it too."

Yu Feng took a bite, and shook his head while chewing, "It's far from the one made by Xiaoyezi. I'll buy some meat later, and we can marinate it ourselves."

Su Ye nodded.

There were shouts of "Give me one", "I want two", "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze".

The scene was so lively that Su Ye couldn't help but glance over there.

Yu Feng followed his line of sight and explained annoyedly: "They only sell a piece of chive cake for one penny, because it is cheap, and there are many people who buy it, if we follow the price reduction, we will lose..."

Su Ye snorted, not to mention only selling one penny, even if selling two, three, just to curry favor with the county magistrate, those people would not hesitate to pay.

Yu Feng observed Su Ye's expression, and persuaded carefully: "Little Ye, don't be angry, at worst we won't sell it, anyway, it was just to pick you up, it's a matter of convenience!"

Seeing Yu Feng's anxious look, Su Ye smiled, and replied flatly, "It's okay."

In his heart, he was saying viciously, of course he must continue to sell, and he wanted to sell something that they couldn't learn even with crying and shouting!

Looking at the burrito in his hand, Su Ye suddenly had an idea.

-

The next day just caught up with Xiu Mu.

It was rare for Su Ye to sleep late, and when he woke up, he saw Yu Feng coming in with half a basket of spicy vegetables, with morning dew on his eyebrows.

Facing Su Ye's dark eyes, Yu Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then apologized a little, "Did you wake up?"

Su Ye shook his head, sat up from the bed, and looked at his sandals stained with mud.

Yu Feng looked down, stepped back subconsciously, and said with a silly smile: "There's so much mud, I didn't notice it, I'll go outside and wash it."

"Yu Feng—" Su Ye called out a little anxiously.

Yu Feng turned his head and looked at him inexplicably.

Su Ye pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "Are your feet cold?"

Yu Feng smiled and replied very naturally: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Su Ye looked at the worn-out straw sandals on Yu Feng's feet, and then at the pair of wooden silk boots that belonged to him beside the bed, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Yu Feng went outside, scooped up some water with a bamboo tube, and said to Su Ye while washing his feet, "There is corn porridge in the pot, and the spicy cabbage head from Mrs. Su Hua. Let's go up the mountain after breakfast."

Su Ye responded, and while she was getting up to wash, she secretly thought about how to make the cotton shoes.

He had read an article on farming before, in which the author mentioned the details of shackles, quilted bottoms, and shoe uppers. Su Ye was very interested and searched for related popular science posts, and found that it was not too difficult.

After washing his face, Su Ye poured the water into the toilet as usual.

This is also newly built after he came here. It is located in the downwind of the thatched shed, surrounded by bamboo, with a pit made of stones below, and a sloping bamboo board on the top. When it rains, the rainwater can flow along the bamboo board. flow down.

Although paper already existed in this era, its texture was rough and very precious, and it was far from being popularized in the daily life of ordinary people.Therefore, ordinary people use bamboo chips to clean after convenience.

Su Ye couldn't stand the repeated use of a piece of bamboo, so she quietly tore her underwear into small squares, wiped it and threw it away.

Yu Feng somehow discovered it, and after that, he would cut out a large handful of bamboo slices and put them within reach every now and then, and there would be new ones every time he used them.

Unknowingly, Yu Feng did so much for him.

Su Ye felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

-

On the way into the mountain, Su Ye seemed preoccupied.

Yu Feng noticed his strangeness carefully, and asked with concern: "What's the matter, little page? Are you tired?"

Su Ye adjusted her mood secretly, smiled at him, and then talked about the new food she thought of.

"Have you ever eaten spring pancakes?"

"Spring pancakes?" Yu Feng shook his head and said with a smile, "Cookies eaten in spring?"

Not to mention, he was really fooled. In the traditional folk customs of the big foodie country, spring pancakes are indeed eaten in the beginning of spring.

"Is it delicious?" After Yu Feng finished asking, he said to himself, "The little page must be delicious."

Su Ye couldn't help laughing, "Try it when you go back, if you think it's delicious, I'll sell it tomorrow."

Yu Feng was taken aback for a moment, only then did he realize that although Su Ye didn't say anything, he was still thinking about that matter in his heart.

He smiled and said "OK".

-

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the wild animals on the mountain seemed to be hiding. The two of them walked all the way, but they didn't find any trace of the prey.

Fortunately, there has been enough rain recently. Although the weather is getting colder and colder, the fungus on the mountain has grown one crop after another.

Su Ye dug two flowers here and two there, just like hunting for treasure, and her mood improved accordingly.

In addition to the mountain fungus, Su Ye also found peppercorns and dogwood, which are growing in clusters when they are ripe.

I don't know if it was because of the special taste. Not only did no one pick these two things, even birds and beasts never patronized them. Su Ye unceremoniously picked them all into the basket.

With the fragrant pepper and the spicy cornel, you don't have to worry about the taste of the side dishes of spring pancakes.

After returning home, Su Ye fried a small pot of delicious mushroom sauce with Chinese prickly ash and dogwood. The water radish, spicy cabbage head, winter melon strips, and okra were also washed and cut into thin shreds, and set aside for later use.

At this time, Yu Feng had already reconciled the noodles and put them in the basin to wake up.

Su Ye tested soft and hard, and took a deep breath.

In fact, he has no idea at all. Although he is familiar with the strategy, he has never really started it.

Even so, Su pretended to be confident on the page, and joked to the man next to him: "Now we're going to start doing it, let me demonstrate it, you can watch it."

Yu Feng nodded hastily, with a doting smile on his face.

Su Ye curled her lips and focused on the dough in her hand.

Knead the dough, roll the balls, roll them into palm-sized round cakes, apply a layer of oil, and then sprinkle a thin layer of dry flour, and stack them together.

After stacking ten layers in a row, Su Ye stopped, pressed it with the palm of his hand, then picked up the rolling pin and continued rolling until the dough was thinned again.

The pan was just hot, brushed with oil, put the cake in, turned it over three times and six times, and when there were a little scorched marks on both sides, it was taken out of the pan and uncovered while it was hot.

The front has been going smoothly, but when the cake was unveiled, it encountered a problem.

Su Ye inhaled while uncovering it, and hopped to touch her ears when it was so hot, she looked like a little jumping frog, rarely showing a little childishness.

Yu Feng was distressed, but couldn't help but want to laugh, "Since it's hot, let's dry it first, and then fix it later."

"No, no, you have to take it while it's hot. It won't be easy to peel off when it's cold." Su Ye blew on her hot red finger, and stretched it out again.

"Let me do it!" Yu Feng pushed him away, raised the cake with his hands, and peeled off a slightly thicker cake into ten thin layers with two or three strokes.

Although there are inevitable breakages, overall it is still a success.

Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and praised in a serious manner: "Good job."

Yu Feng grinned, revealing a handsome smile.

The next step is much simpler, water radish, wax gourd strips, spicy cabbage head, okra, all boiled in water, sprinkled with salt, sauteed peppercorns in the oil, hot and poured on the shredded cabbage, the fragrance immediately spread out .

Su Ye picked up a piece of spring pancake, smeared it with a little mushroom sauce, wrapped the shredded cabbage, well, fresh, fragrant, crispy, delicious!

Following his example, Yu Feng wrapped one for himself, and his eyes lit up as soon as he took the first bite, "I didn't expect the taste to be so good!"

Su didn't show it on the page, but his heart was bubbling with pride.

Aunt Su Hua's smiling voice came from outside the door, "What are you doing? It's so fragrant!"

"Xiao Yezi's new food, auntie, come in and taste it." Yu Feng said enthusiastically.

Aunt Su Hua responded generously, "I'll put the quilts in the house for you first."

"It's ready so soon?" Yu Feng was overjoyed, and walked outside, "I'll put it away, auntie comes in to eat the cake."

"Just put a quilt, I don't need you." While talking, Aunt Su Hua put away the bundle, opened the bamboo curtain and came in.

Su Ye rolled up a hot pancake at the right time, and handed it over with both hands, with a light smile on his face, "Young lady, try it, I'll change it if it's not good."

"Okay!" Aunt Su Hua rubbed her hands on her body quickly, and then took the cake, she looked a little flattered.

Su Ye kept smiling, trying to make herself look more pleasing.

"Hey, this cake is so thin!" Aunt Su Hua took the cake in her hand and exclaimed, "I didn't expect Yezi to have such a good craftsmanship!"

Yu Feng laughed loudly, and said triumphantly, "Auntie, you must never have imagined how this cake is made!"

"How did you make it? Isn't it just rolling it with a rolling pin?" Aunt Su Hua answered naturally.

Su Ye smiled, didn't say much, but did it again in front of her.

Aunt Su Hua stared straight at her eyes, and said repeatedly: "Xiao Yezi has a good brain, if it were someone else, he would never think he could do it like this (zhao)!"

"I also learned from others." Su Ye smiled and asked uncertainly, "You said, if we sell this cake in the county, can someone buy it?"

Before Mrs. Su Hua answered, Yu Feng hurriedly said: "The little page is so delicious, why don't you rush to buy it?"

Aunt Su Hua was more objective. After thinking for a while, she asked, "How much is the page going to sell?"

"This kind of vegetables are stuffed inside, and they cost four renminbi each. If they sell well, they can be filled with marinated pork skin and bean curd sticks, and they are sold for five renminbi."

Aunt Su Hua nodded, "You can try it. If they are reluctant to buy a whole one, they can cut it up and sell it in half. There will always be someone willing to try something new!"

When Su Ye heard this, she immediately gained confidence.

The author has something to say:

Haha, is anyone hungry? ? ?

The spring cakes mentioned here are different from those eaten in some fast food restaurants. Most fast food restaurants stack two sheets together, each sheet has burnt marks, and it is not thin enough.

The traditional spring pancakes are five or six sheets or even a stack of ten or so sheets. After being baked, they are peeled off layer by layer. They are really thin enough to allow light to pass through. softer and thinner).
