Chapter 64: The Function of Buns

Qin Fangci first marinated the lean meat that Li Yulan had cut, and then Du's oil residue in the big pot could be taken out.

"Scoop it all out. I need the pot."

"I know, Mom. I'll scoop it out right away."

After feeding the pigs, Daya and Erya came to help Mrs. Du. Qin Fangci drove them out and said, "Go to the backyard and see if the intestines have been washed. If they are, bring them over quickly. The bamboo shoots outside need to be peeled. They will be blanched later to remove the astringency and then put in the stew."

"You from the old house, go and mix a bowl of flour, two bowls of white flour and two bowls of coarse flour. While the flour is rising, go to the backyard and cut some leeks. We will make leek buns with oil residue tonight." Qin Fangci sent Mrs. Du away and quickly packed the oil residue and lard.

Add water directly to the remaining oil at the bottom of the pot, put the washed rice in, bring it to a boil over high heat, put it in a small ceramic pot, and simmer it over low heat.

The pot is also clean without any oil stains, no waste at all.

After the marinade is prepared, wrap it with gauze, boil water in a large pot again, put the ingredients in and blanch them. Add water and marinade again, cover the pot and simmer.

Mrs. Du was a quick worker. After Qin Fangci had done all these things, she kneaded the dough, cut the leeks, washed them and cut them.

Qin Fangci put the oil residue in, and took out some lean meat and asked Li Yulan to chop it up, and mixed everything together. Just smelling the meat filling was so delicious that people drooled.

"Mom, your buns must be more delicious than the ones sold outside." Li Yulan is now her mother's little tail, praising her no matter what.

"Come here, mom will teach you how to make dumplings. If you make them well, you can open a dumpling shop and eat more dumplings than you can finish every day."

"That would be great, Mom. If I open a bun shop, I'll give you buns every day."

"No, I'm tired of eating buns every day." Qin Fangci refused.

Mrs. Du and Li Yulan both looked at Qin Fangci in surprise. They couldn't imagine what it was like to get tired of eating buns.

"Little sister, I will never get tired of eating them. When you open a bun shop, I will help you. Just give me enough buns every day."

As soon as Boss Li spoke, Qin Fangci noticed the two people who started to slack off.

"The eldest will go collect bamboo rats. After that, he will pick up some yellow mud and build a small yellow mud stove here. The second will go to the mountain to collect firewood. We have used up a lot of firewood at home these days."

Li Laoer immediately glared at Li Laoda and said, "I told you not to talk too much. I told you to just want to eat buns!"

Boss Li was also very depressed. "Mom, I worked all day today and my back and waist are sore."

"Okay, then go back to your room and lie down. You can get up tomorrow." Qin Fangci was very easy to talk to.

Boss Li: “…”

"Mom, I'm not tired anymore. I'll go and get the bamboo rats now." Li Lao Dama got up quickly. After all, his mother was still a little partial to him. Chopping firewood was more tiring than getting bamboo rats. Anyway, the third child was still fetching water, so he could just ask him to fetch one more load later.

Pan Sloppy walked around Qin Fangci with his nose twitching, his eyes fixed on the filling in the bowl. "I promised you what you said. I'm going to take your children to the mountains to collect firewood now. Remember to make the buns a little bigger, the kind that you can eat the meat filling in one bite."

"You guys go ahead." Qin Fangci responded readily.

So, behind Li Laoer, who was carrying a thousand loads of clothes, was a group of little kids.

Dadaner and Erdaner were standing in the front with their heads held high.

Grandma said that we will have big buns tonight, and those who get Mr. Pan’s praise can have one more.

They can definitely perform better.

Daya, Erya and Sanya walked in the middle holding hands.

Li Baisong was carrying Si Ya on his back.

Yes, Si Ya is coming too.

All the brothers and sisters went out, and Si Ya, who was left at home, cried heart-wrenchingly.

Pan Laita thinks that there is nothing wrong with children practicing from a young age, and since they already have three daughters, it doesn't matter if there is one more.

But this one was indeed a little too small, so he was put on Li Baisong's back.

Little Si Ya kicked her short legs happily, "Uncle, uncle."

He kicked Li Baisong's buttocks with his feet.

Li Baisong had no choice but to use both hands to control Si Ya's two little feet.

"Si Ya, stop kicking. Do you still remember the book your uncle taught you to recite?"

"It's okay if you forget, we can recite it again."

"The sky and the earth are dark yellow..."

Li Baisong led Si Ya to recite two sentences, and San Ya in the front followed and recited loudly.

Daya and Erya joined in unconsciously.

When Dadan and Erdan heard it, they also recited it at the top of their voices.

The sun is scorching, and golden light covers the earth. On the ridges of the fields, small shadows are swaying, and a pair of free little feet are swinging rhythmically with the shaking of big hands. The tender voices of reading are swaying with the spring breeze, blowing away the dreams in the children's hearts.

At Old Li’s family’s dinner, everyone ate big, delicious buns.

Adding rough flour into it gives it a unique aroma.

Even Xiao Si Ya can finish one by herself.

Have another bowl of hot and oily minced meat porridge, which will warm your heart and body.

After dinner, it was time to work and earn money, and everyone was very enthusiastic.

"Mom, I want to change places today. I can go a little further, even to the town. Please give me more."

"Mom, I'll go with the head of the family."

"Grandma, let's go supervise our parents." Dadan and Erdan immediately raised their hands.

But we can't let the milk drive them out, because if we drive them out, they won't be able to eat the free braised food and fragrant fried dumplings.

Li Laoer and Yuan: "@%%#&!"

It’s better not to have a son like this.

"Okay, for a family of four, I'll give you a large basin. If you buy more, I'll give you half a bowl of bamboo shoots. If you buy bamboo shoots separately, it's two cents a bowl."

"Mom, don't worry about leaving the business to me." As soon as Li Laoer finished speaking, everyone looked at him at the same time, and everything was said without words.

Li Laoer: "..."

"Mom, Baitai and I can also go to two or three villages." Wang raised her hand and signed up, "We'll carry Sandan on our backs."

"Okay, take Da Ya and Er Ya with you. They are both very good at settling scores now. Third brother, don't let anyone bully them."

"Mom, don't worry." Li Laosan patted his chest and assured.

"Mom, I don't want to be with my eldest brother." Li Yulan disdained her eldest brother because he was the laziest at work.

Boss Li glared, "I don't want to go with you, Mom. I'm alone. I'm in the village. If there's not much to buy in the village, I can go to Dongshi Village."

Li Yulan didn't want to go to Dongshi Village even more.

It would be better for her not to meet Xu Jiahuai now. After feeling that he was not that good, she just didn't want to see him again.

"Then come with us." Pan Sloppy offered, "I'll take Bo Song with me to help. He can't just study all the time. If he doesn't understand something, I can explain it to him on the way."

"That's great, little brother. I'll go with you." Li Yulan immediately stood next to Li Baisong.

"Okay, you three, discuss this with the third brother and the others. Go to different villages, ask for directions if you don't know the way, and be careful. Even if you can't sell all the goods before dark, you must come back." Qin Fangci instructed, "The same goes for you, you must get home before dark."

"Got it, Mom." Everyone packed up their things and walked out.
