Chapter 56: Scallion Pancake Bigger Than My Face



When they came to the mountains, the sun was still high in the sky.

But when they were halfway back, the sky turned cloudy and the wind got stronger.

The wind blowing in my face smells damp.

"The weather changes so suddenly. Let's hurry up, little girl." Niu Guifang said hurriedly.

Su Ruanruan didn't want to get wet in the rain, so she quickened her pace.

The two Hongya siblings have short calves, but they can run quite fast.

The few of them hurried and arrived home in just twenty minutes.

I had just arrived at my house and taken out my key, but before I could open the door, raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky.

Niu Guifang quickened the pace of unlocking the door. "Oh, how can it rain so suddenly? Soft girl, open the door quickly. I am also taking Hongya and the other two home!"

Su Ruanruan's movements were also very fast. The moment she opened the lock, she did not forget to promise, "Sister-in-law, please take Hongya and the others home quickly. I will go home too."

After entering the yard and closing the door, Su Runrun's first reaction was not to go into the house, but to run towards the chicken coop.

The raindrops were very big and fell to the ground one by one, not only stirring up the dust, but also making the two little chicks chirp.

Su Ruanruan held a chick in each hand, protected them in her arms and rushed into the house.

After putting the chicks on the ground, Su Runrun turned around and went back to bring in food and water for the chicks.

There are three rooms in the upper house. The middle one is the kitchen. The east room is where Su Ruanruan and Fu Wenjing sleep, and the west room is empty.

The west room is exactly the same as the east room, except that it lacks a desk and bookcase.

Su Ruanruan placed the chicks' food and water against the wall, and then brought the two chicks in.

Afraid that they would run around and poop in the house, Su Ruanruan went to find some wooden boards and surrounded the chicks.

The fence is a bit simple, but the two little chickens are only the size of a palm and can't jump high, so there is no need to worry about them escaping.

After settling the chicks, Su Runrun was able to take care of herself.

I just hurriedly settled the chicks and ran back and forth in the yard a few times, and my head was inevitably wet by the raindrops.

Fortunately, it wasn't very wet, so I just wiped it a few times with a dry towel.

In just a short while, Su Ruanruan heard crackling sounds.

I walked to the kitchen door and looked out. I saw that the rain outside was falling heavily and fast, making small holes on the ground.

At this time, the air was filled with not only the moisture of rain, but also the "earthy smell" of the wet soil.

Take a deep breath, it smells very good.

Su Ruanruan has liked this taste since she was a child, and it has not changed over the years.

The roofs of the houses here are all covered with tiles. The raindrops hit them, making crisp tapping sounds. The rain slides down the tiles from the eaves, forming small water columns.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting darker and darker, until a gust of wind blew, bringing a slight coolness. Su Ruanruan rubbed her arms, turned around and walked a little inside.

It was around five o'clock in the afternoon. Fu Wenjing said he should be back around six o'clock, so Su Runrun simply started preparing dinner.

I first processed the wild vegetables in the basket. After washing them, there was still about one pound left, just enough for dinner.

After staring at the wild vegetables for a while, Su Runrun decided to cook some corn porridge, some cold wild vegetables, and some scallion pancakes in the evening.

After cooking the porridge, Su Ruanruan started to knead the dough.

The dough for scallion pancakes cannot be too hard, otherwise the cookies will be sticky and difficult to chew.

If you want the scallion pancake to taste good, not only the dough needs to be soft, but the chopped green onions are also very important.

There were still a few green onions that Niu Guifang sent two days ago, but this was obviously not enough.

Su Ruanruan opened the Taojinjin store directly, bought a handful of green onions, and a small bottle of sesame oil used in hot pot restaurants. This was the amount for one meal, so there was no need to worry about not having enough space to put the food.

The green onions have emerald green leaves and less white part, and the scallion pancakes made with such onions are delicious.

Wash the green onions, cut them into chopped green onions, put them into a bowl, add salt and sesame oil and mix them.

You must be willing to add oil in this step, otherwise the chopped green onions will not be fragrant enough.

The sesame oil bottle was very small and made of plastic. Su Runrun simply threw it into the stove and the fire quickly engulfed it.

The kitchen door was open, and gusts of wind blew in continuously, blowing away the smell of burning plastic.

Seeing the bottle being burned, Su Runrun continued to work.

Put the mixed chopped green onions aside, then roll the dough into a large pancake, pour some of the oil bought the day before on it, and spread it evenly on the pancake.

In fact, it tastes best if all of it is cooked with sesame oil, but sesame oil is too fragrant and there is no sesame oil at home. Su Runruan was afraid that Fu Wenjing would find out something was wrong, so she could only use a little sesame oil and some soybean oil.

Pour the pickled chopped green onion on the dough and spread it evenly, roll up the dough little by little, cut it into equal-sized pieces, and finally roll the pieces into dough of appropriate thickness.

Su Runrun made quite a bit of dough, and in the end she had six pancakes that were bigger than her face.

There are some skills to making pancakes. Use a hot pan and cold oil. Make sure the oil is not too little and the fire is not too big, otherwise the pancake will be burnt.

Su Ruanruan had cooked a lot in the past, so she had a certain talent in this area.

The final scallion pancake is golden and crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, and has a fragrant onion aroma.

Su Ruanruan had just finished baking all the pancakes when the courtyard door was pushed open and Fu Wenjing strode in holding an umbrella.

Seeing Fu Wenjing walk to the kitchen door, Su Ruanruan hurriedly stopped him, "Don't come in yet, I just made two scallion pancakes, take them to Sister Niu's house."

As she spoke, Su Ruanruan put two cakes into a small bowl and handed it to Fu Wenjing.

Fu Wenjing took the small basin and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

While Fu Wenjing was delivering the scallion pancakes, Su Runrun served the food and brought it to the table. She also served some pickles and soybean paste and placed them on the table.

Su Ruanruan had just set up everything when Fu Wenjing came back.

As soon as he entered the house, Fu Wenjing hurriedly asked, "Wife, did you go into the mountains with Sister Niu today? Did you get caught in the rain when you came back?"

"No! The rain just started falling when we got home."

"It's good that you didn't get wet, otherwise you'd get sick easily."

As they were talking, Fu Wenjing had already washed his hands, and the two of them sat down at the table together.

People here prefer to eat while sitting on the kang, but Su Runrun prefers to eat at the square table in the kitchen.

Especially when sitting in this position, you can see that it is raining outside.

There is a dim rain curtain outside, the house is lit with orange lights, there is steaming hot food on the table, and opposite is the lover who will accompany you for the rest of your life.

This is probably what life is like in the world.

Su Ruanruan handed Fu Wenjing a scallion pancake and said, "It will taste better if you roll it up directly."

Brush the dough with soybean paste and then roll it with mixed wild vegetables to make the taste richer and more layered.
