Little Scholar's Circle of Husbands

Jiuniang Mantou is not a special product of Sheng County, but a special product of neighboring counties Fenghua and Cixi, or Yin County and other places farther away.The master of the Zhou family brought it back by the way when he went out to sell tea.

The general method is to use flour, or flour and rice as the raw material, instead of fermenting with yeast, ferment with fermented rice.Steamed steamed buns have larger and denser pores than yeast-fermented ones, which are somewhat similar to the pores of Western-style bread.

Lu Fangzhou happened to eat this kind of fermented steamed buns. There were six people in the dormitory before, and four of them were from this area. He usually brought some when he went home. Lu Fangzhou had eaten different recipes. The kind made by yeast.

At that time, Lu Fangzhou casually asked his classmates how to make this kind of steamed buns, and now it happened to be used, so he told Yan Yan one by one.

Yan Yan made an analysis, and first ruled out the kind made entirely of rice. The food that can make the old people remember it must be rare here. Rice is more common here in Shengxian County, and flour is rare. If it is pure It is made of rice, which may not be rare for the elderly.

The one made entirely of flour was also rejected by Yan Yan. After all, the fermentation ability of fermented glutinous rice is not comparable to that of yeast. If all flour is used, the fermentation may not be as good as it should be.

However, half of the rice and half of the flour have more room to play. The rice will ferment after being soaked for a long time. Soak it until it becomes soft, then grind it with water, then mix it with flour, add fermented rice and sugar, and knead it well. After the fermentation is complete , then take it out and continue kneading to ferment again, and steam it in a pot after completion.

Yan Yan and Lu Fangzhou used some copper coins to borrow the kitchen of a family in the old man's village and started making.

Lu Fangzhou is not good at kneading dough. Yan Yan is not good at it, so he is in charge of doing it. While obediently handing over the tools, he is earnestly stealing the teacher. Such delicious food can’t always be made for him, he has to do it too. Give it to Yan Yan once!

Seeing this, Yan Yan smiled, and patiently explained the steps to Lu Fangzhou, and also passed on the tips. Seeing that Lu Fangzhou was listening intently, he became playful, and touched Lu Fangzhou's nose with flour.

"..." Lu Fangzhou blinked in confusion.

Unfinished, Yan Yan added a beard to Lu Fangzhou's cheeks, and commented, does this look like a cat?Still like a dog?

Seeing that Lu Fangzhou couldn't help crying, the male god is really naughty.../(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

After an afternoon of repeated practice, Yan Yan and Lu Fangzhou finally brought out the most delicious steamed buns made with fermented rice. Not to mention the aroma, they were soft and slightly sweet after one bite, which made Lu Fangzhou praise Yan Yan's cooking skills.

The children of this family also smelled the scent, and their little heads poked their heads toward the kitchen neatly. Lu Fangzhou and Yan Yan stayed all afternoon, and they didn't come to watch and make trouble. It can be seen that the tutor is good, and Lu Fangzhou is not stingy. , each person gave one, and said with a smile: "Go out and eat."

The children happily went out with the steamed buns, and the smell of the steamed buns immediately attracted other children to look at it.The children of this family did not enjoy it all to themselves, and some were also distributed.

After a while, it turned into a scene of a row of children sitting in front of the door eating delicious steamed buns.

The adults passing by couldn't help but stop, and many people who could smell the aroma of fermented steamed buns couldn't help sighing: "How many years have passed, and I have asked about this smell again."

"Yeah, when my aunt was still there, when we went to the mountains to pick tea during the rainy season of Qingming, she would make this for us. I really miss it."

"It's a pity, my aunt has passed away for many years."

"I don't know who is doing it today?"

Everyone speculated that it was Lu Fangzhou who came out with a rice bucket (he didn't bring a food box to go out, so Lu Fangzhou had to borrow a rice bucket to pack steamed buns), that bastard scholar who knew how to drink.

Everyone was surprised, and seeing him walking towards Old Man Qiu's house with a rice bucket, everyone was even more surprised and followed him.

Old Man Qiu was Master Zhou's favorite apprentice back then. He was smart and hardworking.At that time, everyone speculated that he was the one who would be the most suitable son-in-law in Zhou's family. Old man Qiu was also considerate to his eldest aunt.

I don't want my aunt to marry a talented person from the Lu family. The old man Qiu hid in the tea garden and drank wine for three days and three nights. He almost died. After he finally rescued him, his whole person changed. , his temper also became eccentric, and he never did anything other than go to the tea garden. He lived in the dilapidated house for more than 20 years and didn't know how to repair it.

So seeing Lu Fangzhou going to Old Man Qiu's house, everyone seemed to see the sun coming out from the west.

Lu Fangzhou arrived at the door of Old Man Qiu's house, and was about to knock on the door when he heard a sound from inside, like the sound of a heavy object falling from the height of a table and chair, and the sound of a bowl breaking.

Lu Fangzhou felt bad when he heard it, and he didn't care about the tricks anymore, he hurriedly asked: "Old man, what's wrong with you? But you fell!"

"Hum!" There was a humming sound from inside, and after a while, the door opened, old man Qiu looked at Lu Fangzhou with a cold face, then at the rice bucket Lu Fangzhou was holding, and turned around: "Come in!"

Lu Fangzhou was overjoyed, looked at Yan Yan with a smile, and hurried in, and Yan Yan followed in, Old Man Qiu snorted, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Fangzhou was in a hurry to explain that Yan Yan was with him, but he didn't want Yan Yan to signal not to say anything, so he retreated like a gentleman and closed the door behind him.

Lu Fangzhou looked at Yan Yan reluctantly, and unexpectedly the old man Qiu said: "Why are you standing there, why don't you bring it here?"

Lu Fangzhou came back to his senses, and hurriedly put the rice bucket on the table. The old man Qiu picked up the chopsticks on the table and wiped them with his sleeves. Then he lifted the lid of the rice bucket, took a steamed bun out, and stopped after taking a bite. down.

Lu Fangzhou was surprised. Why does this reaction taste wrong?

However, it’s not that the taste is wrong, but that the taste is right. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, or it’s God’s will. The wine-brewed steamed buns made by Lu Yan and Lu Fangzhou are exactly the same as those made by Aunt Zhou in old man Qiu’s memory. .

More than 20 years have passed, and once again tasted the taste that once haunted him, the pain, longing, and sadness that had been buried in the old man's heart for many years all came together.

He used to like his aunt so much, but it was a pity that there was no destiny, but the person who got her didn't know how to cherish her, and he knew how to do things wrong.The treasure he holds in his palm for fear of falling, and holds it in his mouth for fear of melting, is like a fish eye in the eyes of others.

The pearl is dusty!

Old man Qiu thought about it, and couldn't help but burst into tears.Remembering that there was a junior in the house, he hurriedly wiped it. One of them accidentally dropped the steamed buns on the chopsticks. He hurried to pick it up, but the junior had already said: "Old man, it's dirty, change it."

"What do you know? Food is precious, and if you lose it, you can blow it off. It's true that a full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry." Old man Qiu scolded.

Lu Fangzhou hurriedly explained with a smile: "It's not about throwing it away, it's just that you don't eat the dirty ones."

The old man Qiu heard Lu Fangzhou's kindness, and snorted again, but it was different from the prejudiced snort before, the snort this time was mostly the discomfort of the elders' concern for the younger generation.

Lu Fangzhou also heard it, so he stopped talking, just smiled and watched Old Man Qiu eat.

Seeing this, old man Qiu snorted again: "Look what I'm doing, come over to eat, it's almost dark."

It was getting dark, and it was time to have dinner. Lu Fangzhou understood what old man Qiu meant, but Yan Yan didn't eat it. He didn't want to eat first, but he was afraid that old man Qiu would misunderstand, so he explained a little.

Old Man Qiu frowned immediately: "That's a fallen man, what do you look like when you're with him?"

"The fallen people are also human beings. You can't judge people by their status. There are scumbags among the talented scholars, but there are also elites among the fallen people. I searched all over Sheng County and couldn't find anything better than him." Okay, he can still read." Lu Fangzhou boasted of Yan Yan in a rustic manner, and at the same time used his identity as a nurse to cover up his true identity.

The old man Qiu didn't seem to be persuaded, he stared at Lu Fangzhou and said, "If I want you to leave him before taking you as a disciple, what are you going to do?"

"This..." Lu Fangzhou was stunned for a moment. The old man Qiu was willing to accept him as his apprentice, which was something he wished for, but if he could do it without Yan Yan, he was naturally not happy, so he decided to persuade the old man Qiu again, " Old man, you are embarrassing me, you are always willing to accept me as an apprentice, I am too happy, but Yan Yan and I have saved my life, I can't let go of both of you."

Old man Qiu was silent for a while, his eyes still fixed on Lu Fangzhou.

Lu Fangzhou also looked back at the old man Qiu, looking like he shouldn't have made up his mind.

The old man Qiu then sighed, and Lu Fangzhou's heart skipped a beat, it's over, the matter is going to be ruined, and he was about to say more, but the old man Qiu nodded and said: "You are not bad, you are much better than your ungrateful father, that bastard When I was not married to your mother, I used to do the same thing in front of my face and the other behind my back, flattering your grandfather to the death, and talking bad things about our apprentices. Later, I was admitted as a scholar, and my eyes grew even higher. .Aren’t you just a scholar? Do you think I’ve never seen the world? A scholar can’t even be a ninth-rank sesame official, so why should he be so proud?”

The old man Qiu cursed angrily, and vented the anger he had accumulated for many years. After seeing Lu Fangzhou standing there listening to him scolding, he blew his beard and stared: "Why are you still standing there? Serve tea!"

Tea?

Oh oh oh!right!Appreciate the teacher to offer tea!Is the old man ready to accept him as a disciple?Lu Fangzhou looked excitedly, and the old man Qiu blew his beard and stared: "Yum wood head."

Hearing this, Lu Fangzhou hurriedly looked around to find the tea bowl. After searching for it, he suddenly realized how to offer tea to the master with something from the master's house. He was so stupid that he hurried out to find Yan Yan.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yan had already prepared everything. Seeing Lu Fangzhou rushing out, he smiled and said, "But do you want these?" Yan Yan opened the insulation box made of straw, and inside was a pot of hot water and a set of tea bowls. Put away the tea.

Lu Fangzhou looked admiringly: "You, how do you know that he will agree and prepare this?"

"Guess." Yan Yan smiled.

"Huh?" He guessed so accurately, his male god is so powerful/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ Lu Fangzhou thought happily, took the straw warm box and went in.

After entering, put it on the table, carefully took out the tea bowl, poured hot water on it, and respectfully knelt down to offer tea.

The old man Qiu looked at Lu Fangzhou with satisfaction, then looked at Yan Yan outside the house, nodded and said: "Since you become my apprentice, you have to work hard, get the tea garden before the sun rises, and do things carefully, Professor You have to study hard and don't be lazy."

"Yes, yes." Lu Fangzhou nodded vigorously.

The old man Qiu let Lu Fangzhou go back: "It's late today, you go back early to rest, and tomorrow will be on time."

"Master, you should also go to bed earlier." Lu Fangzhou said, took the door and left happily.

The onlookers outside the house had dispersed, it was already dark, and it was time to sleep.Yan Yan stood at the door, and a torch was inserted on the ground for lighting. Under the light of the fire, Yan Yan's smile became more and more moving.

Lu Fangzhou rushed forward in three steps and two steps: "It's done~~"

Yan Yan easily caught Lu Fangzhou, hugged him tightly and smiled: "Well, it's done!"

The author has something to say: Lu Fangzhou: I'm so happy~~~ Go back and celebrate.

Yan Yan: Well, yes, celebrate well (go to bed).
