This is outrageous! How could she have encountered such a spatial system...?
What can we do now that we know? We can't change anything. We can only do what the dog says and strive to achieve freedom of space and financial freedom as soon as possible.
"Alright, let's see how the roujiamo performs tomorrow!"
Replace the water in a clean wooden basin, pour in five pounds of flour, add some water, and knead into a dough.
Tian Sangui found yeast powder in the mall, but unfortunately it couldn't be unlocked, which made her so angry that her teeth ached. It seemed that she would have to go out and borrow some old dough to ferment.
"Big brother, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back!"
She took off her apron, casually placed it on the collapsed wall, patted her clothes, and walked outside.
Tian Da was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard when he heard Tian Sangui calling him. He quickly turned around and answered. After Tian Sangui left, he buried himself in his work again.
In the bushes, the two little ones saw their third sister go out, rolled over to their feet, and hurriedly followed behind her. This was how they had grown up following Tian Sangui.
Over time, it naturally became a habit; whenever she set off, two little tails would always follow behind her.
Judging from the direction they were going, they guessed that their third sister was heading up to the old house.
Sure enough, she pushed open the tightly closed door of the old house with all her might, startling the people in the old house who immediately came out to check the situation.
It was Wang who came out. She swayed her bloated figure. When she saw that it was a menacing figure, she had no choice but to greet her with a smile. She had originally come out to scold people in a fierce manner.
"Oh, it's San Gui. What brings you here to visit the old house today?"
Although it was a polite remark, it still didn't sit well with Tian Sangui.
"Aunt, I need to borrow a lump of old dough. Could you find it for me?"
Tian Sangui spoke to her politely, because before the family was divided, Wang was the one who was most good at tormenting Zhang. Not only did she order her around, but she also liked to gossip behind Yun's back, causing Zhang to be scolded for no reason. Tian Sangui didn't want to talk to her much.
"What, borrow my face? You wish! You've split up and you still want to borrow things from me? No way! It's your own fault you can't make ends meet. Go, lock the door and don't let her in."
Before Wang could speak, Yun, who was inside the room, heard her. She abruptly lifted the floral curtain and glared at Tian Sangui with a resentful expression.
After hearing what Yun said, Wang stood still without moving.
Yun Shi thought to herself: "You old hag, you dare to order her around doing things you yourself wouldn't dare to do. Don't you know that Tian Sangui is an ancestor you can't afford to offend? Asking her to drive Tian Sangui away is something only a madwoman would do to offend that evil star."
Tian Sangui had no idea what Wang was thinking. She smiled, crossed her arms in front of her, and leaned against the door.
Her clear eyes flickered slightly: "Grandma, have you forgotten how the family divided the property back then? Shall I go over it with you again?"
When Yun Shi looked at him closely, she saw that when Tian Sangui brought up the division of the family property, he seemed ready to fight her again. It looked like he wouldn't be satisfied with just tearing her apart.
Having learned her lesson, Yun's momentum immediately softened. Seeing this, Wang thought disdainfully, "What makes you think you're so powerful? You're scared to death by just a few words! Pshaw!"
"Find it for her, give it all to her. Next time she comes, this old woman will never let her step inside."
With a snort, he flung off the curtain and disappeared into the doorway of the main room.
Tian Sangui chuckled inwardly. The old woman was indeed sharp-tongued, but he was even more grateful for his past life-or-death struggles, otherwise there would have been a huge commotion today.
Wang worked swiftly, handing the entire small bowl of noodles to Tian Sangui. After she had walked away, she closed the main door, bracing it tightly with a wooden stick before feeling safe. She then entered the main room, glancing back every few steps.
"Third sister is amazing. With just one word from you, Grandma didn't dare to say a word."
Xiao Si ran beside her, looking at Tian Sangui with admiration, hoping that he would be as powerful as his third sister when he grew up, so that no one could bully his family in the future.
"Of course Third Sister is amazing! As long as Third Sister is around, even someone as powerful as Grandma has to listen to her!"
"Hahaha, Third Sister, I'm a tiger in disguise! Everyone's afraid of me, aren't you?"
As he spoke, Tian Sangui imitated the appearance and roar of a tiger, scaring the two of them from behind.
"Hehehe~ We're not afraid at all. Third Sister is a tiger, she only scares bad people and protects the family."
"Really? Let me try getting caught by a tiger. See if I get so scared I wet my pants! Awooo~"
"Ah! Third Sister has turned into a tiger and is chasing us! Run!"
"Hahaha, run!"
Amidst laughter and chatter, the three of them chased each other to the courtyard.
Tian heard the laughter from afar, which infected him, and he started laughing along, becoming even more energetic at work.
Tian Sangui and her brothers drank some warm water from the pot, and then she began to busy herself with her livelihood.
The four brothers naturally strolled out of the yard and started playing.
Knead the dough until smooth, then place it in a bowl and wait for it to ferment.
At this point, she began preparing the ingredients: chopped scallions, ginger, and garlic; chopped the large intestine into small pieces; and chopped the remaining large piece into thumb-length pieces, placing them in a bowl to prepare for making spicy sausage noodles that evening.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon. Tian Sangui didn't know how to tell time in ancient times, so he judged it roughly by the shadows on the trees and the sun overhead.
All the necessary ingredients and spices are ready. Now, let's start heating the oil in the wok.
Heat oil, add Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry briefly, then add minced ginger, minced garlic and red chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the diced pork intestines to the pot.
The aroma of spiciness filled the courtyard. As Tian Sangui turned around, he accidentally stepped on Tian Da's instep, causing him to writhe in pain, clutching his foot.
"Hey, when did you guys come in? Oh dear, the kitchen is too small to fit many people. You can go out first, but you'll get your share when it's done!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Tian Sangui pushed his three brothers, forcibly pushing them out of the kitchen under their reluctant gazes.
Unwilling to leave, they clung to the doorframe, stretching their heads as far as they could, licking their lips at the smell of cooking oil, wishing they could steal a piece to try.
Even a small piece would be fine!
Tian Sangui was too busy to pay attention to their thoughts at the moment. He thought that once he finished making it, he would give each of them a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) to satisfy their cravings.
The important thing now is to focus on the task at hand.
With the pork intestines simmering in the pot, she turned to check on the dough's fermentation, poking her finger into the smooth, much larger dough than before.
When you lift it up, you can see a collapsed round hole in the middle of the dough.
Tian Sangui knew that the dough had risen properly. He peeled the dough apart and found that it was full of honeycomb-like structures, which looked beautiful.
Next, put the large intestine into a wooden bucket and let it cool naturally.
After washing the pot, I habitually add a ladle of water to it. Since it's a wood-fired stove, I'm afraid the pot might burn while the fire is still burning. Adding a ladle of water solves that problem.
Now start kneading the dough to release the air, then cut it into small dough balls of equal size, and roll them all into round balls so that it's easier to stuff the steamed buns with fillings.
Because of the steamer baskets, although the store had many, they only took out two baskets to make an excuse, making the steamed buns slow and laborious to steam.
To avoid arousing suspicion, it's better to go slowly.
Twenty steamed buns were placed in two steamers, and two batches were steamed. The sky was already getting dark.
After tidying up, Tian Sangui began preparing dinner, and after dinner, he would finish steaming the rest.
When Zhang and Tian Lao Si returned together, they saw their four sons sitting in a row in the courtyard, eating large white steamed buns with relish.
The house was filled with the aroma of meat, and it was obvious that Tian Sangui had done it.
"San Gui, what dishes did you make? I can smell the aroma from far away!"
Seeing Zhang approach, Tian Sangui smiled mysteriously.
"Mom, come and try it, how does it taste?"
After saying that, Tian Sangui picked up a piece of fatty intestine from the pot and put it into Zhang's mouth.
The tangy and spicy flavor was just right, and the meat was rich but not greasy. It was even more tender and juicy than the pork belly I had for lunch. This was the first time in my life I had ever tasted such delicious meat.
"What kind of meat is it? It's fragrant, spicy, and delicious!"
Upon receiving Zhang's praise, Tian Sangui covered his mouth and chuckled to himself.
They were fighting over throwing it away at noon, but now they're praising how delicious it is?
"Look, it's the pig offal you've been wanting to throw away."
Tian Sangui pointed to the prepared minced meat in the bucket and answered.
"ah?"
"I've lived most of my life and I've never seen anyone cook offal so deliciously! My goodness, San Gui, you're amazing!"
Surprised, Zhang gave Tian Sangui a thumbs-up, admiring her talent.
"But who taught you your cooking skills?"
Oh no, I'm being asked about this again.
"I wander around the village every day, looking at this house and that house, and then I go to the hillside to experiment and figure it out slowly. Mom, how about the dish I came up with?"
Hearing her explanation, Zhang had no doubts. After all, since her daughter could walk, she never sat at home except to eat. She often heard the village head say that San Gui was setting fires on the hillside and asked them to do something about it. Now that she heard her say this, Zhang completely believed her.
"Not only is he good, but in my opinion, he's even better than the head chef in a restaurant."
In her heart, her own daughter was undoubtedly the best and most incomparable.
"Hehe, Mom, please try the roujiamo I made!"
Having received Zhang's approval, he felt full of confidence and handed the steamed bun with the filling to Zhang to taste.
Zhang glanced at her and always felt that she was mysterious.
However, seeing the delicious-smelling steamed bun in her hand, she took a big bite, eating it like a meat bun, which was spicy and appetizing.
"The steamed buns are delicious too, Sangui, you're amazing! They're much better than what your mother makes."
"Hehe, no way, in my heart my mother's cooking is the best in the world."
"Mom, I'll take these roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) to sell at Dad's construction site tomorrow morning. They're sure to sell well!"
