Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Brother Xu wants to give you a task...
After hearing what Xu Yunfan said, Qin Run finally understood why Qin An hesitated. "Want to see Grandma Fang? Then come with me."
Xu Yunfan was surprised and asked, "Oh, our An'er and Grandma Fang are getting along well?"
Qin An: "Grandma Fang is very nice. She even gave me eggs to eat."
Qin Run nodded. "Uncle Fang's family is very nice, just like Aunt Qin and the others. They're all good people."
For Qin Run, the reason why he thinks Aunt Qin and others are good is not because they have helped him, they are good people, and those who have not helped him are bad people.
Instead, the Fang family, Aunt Qin, and even some members of the Qin clan did not talk about him behind his back like others did, saying bad things about him, slandering his innocence, nor did they look down on him or frame him everywhere.
Qin Run thought that if conditions did not allow it, he should bring something with him since he rarely came to visit. But he had no money. Which of the rice and grain in the house was not bought with the money earned by Xu Yunfan?
Qin An doesn't know the true relationship between him and Xu Yunfan. Doesn't he know yet?
How could he have the nerve to give the things Xu Yunfan bought as gifts to others?
Why had Xu Yunfan been willing to come back with him in the first place? Qin Run remembered that he had said that he would support Xu Yunfan and that he wouldn't have to do anything.
Right now, not only can he not do that, he also eats Xu Yunfan's food and spends Xu Yunfan's money. Even Qin An is taken care of by Xu Yunfan and eats so many delicious foods from Xu Yunfan. Even so, how can he have the nerve to give things bought by Xu Yunfan to others?
Qin Run thought so, but Xu Yunfan didn’t think so!
To Xu Yunfan, he regards the Qin Run brothers as his family. In this strange place, they are the people he is most familiar with, family members, so why bother about so many things?
Besides, Qin Run saved his life, can this be settled by spending money?
Even if he could, Xu Yunfan thought, he must be worth at least tens of millions of taels of gold.
He couldn't get tens of millions of taels of gold at the moment, but he could be good to Brother Qin Run.
"Since An'er is going to see Grandma Fang, it wouldn't be appropriate to go empty-handed. Qin Run, where are the meat buns you bought this morning? Aren't there still a few left?"
"Well, there are four left." Qin Run looked at Xu Yunfan, "Do you want me to take Roubaozi to see Grandma Fang?"
Xu Yunfan didn't quite understand these social customs. "What's wrong? Is it not possible? Four meat buns are a little too few, not enough for the whole family to share, but right now, the only thing we can offer is meat buns."
"No." Qin Run shook his head and took a few steps towards Xu Yunfan. "I just didn't expect you to let me take the meat buns to Grandma Fang."
A meat bun costs two cents, and a strong man looking for work in the town can only earn about ten or twenty cents a day.
Qin Run had worked in the town before. Those employers were not wealthy people. They only wanted to find others to do the dirty and tiring work because they really didn't want to do it themselves. But they felt bad about paying them, so these people always kept the wages very low. Anyway, if you want to work, do it. If you don't want to work, get out. After all, many people go to the town to find work during the slack season every year. If you don't do it, there will naturally be plenty of people rushing to do it, so they are not short of people.
Once, Qin Run was cleaning a manure pit in the town. He had to carry the manure water from the pit to the fields. It was at least several miles from the town to the fields outside the town. That day, he carried the manure from morning to night. He didn't know how many loads he carried, and his shoulders were swollen.
After a day's hard work, all I got was twenty cents, which is enough to buy ten meat buns.
Now, Xu Yunfan asked him to give away four meat buns at once, and Qin Run was naturally shocked.
Xu Yunfan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Oh, it's just four meat buns, what's there to be reluctant about? Go quickly, it will be even hotter by noon."
After watching Qin Run and his brother leave, Xu Yunfan quickly added a few more firewood into the stove while there were still sparks in it.
Seeing smoke coming out of the firewood, Xu Yunfan took the fire pipe beside him, puffed up his cheeks and blew hard.
After the fire was finally lit, Xu Yunfan stood up and walked to the chopping board and took out the dough that had been proofed in the wooden basin.
Because of the addition of eggs, the yellow dough looks pretty good.
Xu Yunfan began to roll out the dough, kneading it to release the air, then rolling it into long strips, and then tearing it into small balls one by one.
After rolling the small ball of dough into a short strip and then rolling it up, Xu Yunfan found eight or nine bowls.
In ancient times, bowls were relatively large. Xu Yunfan brushed a layer of lard in the bowl and then put the rolled noodles into the bowl. Because the bowl was large, Xu Yunfan put two noodles in one bowl. In this way, when they were steamed, the shape would be better.
After this step, you cannot steam it directly. You have to wait for the dough to rise a second time so that the bread will be softer.
After the dough had risen, Xu Yunfan poured water into the pot, placed a row of bamboo racks on it, then turned around and took another egg from the cupboard.
For this egg, only the yolk is enough.
Stir the egg yolk evenly, then apply a layer of egg yolk liquid on the dough rolls in the bowl. Finally, without waterproof plastic wrap, Xu Yunfan could only find a few banana leaves to make a few "big plates" and put them on the rim of the bowl. This way, the entry of water vapor can be effectively reduced.
Everything was done. Xu Yunfan covered the pot with a wooden lid and sat in front of the stove to add some firewood.
Xu Yunfan kneaded a lot of dough this time, enough to steam two pots.
When the bread was almost steamed, the Qin Run brothers came back.
As soon as he reached the kitchen door, Qin An smelled a fragrant aroma. His eyes immediately lit up and he trotted into the kitchen. "Brother, what are you cooking? It smells so good!"
"Guess." Xu Yunfan scratched Qin An's nose in amusement. "Brother Xu, let me give you a hint. It's delicious."
Qin Run looked at the fire in the stove, and thought about the dough Xu Yunfan had kneaded this morning, and what he had said yesterday about making bread for him and Qin An. The little brother guessed it immediately.
It was bread. Xu Yunfan really made bread for them.
Qin Run looked at the stove and his eyes brightened up.
Qin An thought for a long time, but couldn't think of what Gefu was cooking. He said disappointedly, "Gefu, I can't guess. Can you tell me?"
Xu Yunfan didn't say anything, but took Qin Run and his brother into the kitchen. After steaming for so long, the bread should be ready.
Xu Yunfan took off the lid of the pot, and Qin An saw the banana leaves in the pot and was even more confused.
"Come and see what this is." Xu Yunfan took off a banana leaf, revealing the golden and fragrant bread inside.
Because of Xu Yunfan's presentation, the bread looked very good. Qin An's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he exclaimed, "Bread, it's bread, wow~ The bread made by Gefu looks so good, and it smells so good~"
Hearing Qin An's occasional wows, you can tell how happy this little guy is.
Looking at Qin Run again, his eyes fell on the golden bread and he swallowed subconsciously.
Although this behavior was very embarrassing, he couldn't help it.
Since they were little, the best food he and Qin An had ever eaten was given by Xu Yunfan.
Qin Run thought that it was great to meet someone who was so good to him. Even if Xu Yunfan left in the future, all he would be left with would be endless longing, but as long as Xu Yunfan was good to him, then everything would be worth it.
The time before that it was bread, the time before that it was a bag of crispy biscuits, and today it was a piece of candy that was extremely sweet. Now, Xu Yunfan made some small bread for them again.
Qin Run had never seen these things before, let alone eaten them.
Qin Run couldn't forget the taste of the bread he had eaten before. When he smelled the sweet aroma of the bread, he couldn't control his saliva.
Xu Yunfan saw that the Qin Run brothers were staring at the bread with their eyes almost popping out of their minds. He couldn't help but feel funny, but also sad at the same time.
He removed all the other banana leaves and took out all the bread from the steamer.
Even though it was his first time, Xu Yunfan made a lot. He made nine large bowls of bread, each bowl making one loaf of bread, which was enough for Qin Run and the others to eat.
Because the dough rose well, the bread Xu Yunfan made was very soft. Also, because he brushed it with egg yolk liquid and added eggs and sugar when kneading the dough, the bread not only looked good in color, but was also very fragrant and delicious.
Xu Yunfan took one out of the bowl, broke it open, and saw it steaming hot. "Come on, try it and see if it tastes good."
Qin Run took half of the bread. Just looking at the softness of the bread, he wondered if he needed to try it. He knew at a glance that it must be super delicious.
Qin Run took a big bite and squinted his eyes in enjoyment, "Delicious."
Seeing this, Qin An also started eating and finished half of the bread in no time. It was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating and had no time to comment at all.
Looking at their expressions, Xu Yunfan knew there was something he didn't know. He looked at Qin An, who was still licking his lips after finishing his meal, and asked, "Are you going to eat more?"
"Can I eat more?" Qin An saw that there was still a lot in the pot, but he didn't know that he had already eaten half of it. Such delicious bread, he had to wait until tomorrow to eat it.
Xu Yunfan: "Why not? I made these for you two brothers to eat. It's only noon now, so you can eat whenever you want. Don't worry about being too full and not being able to eat dinner at night."
Hearing this, Qin An looked at Qin Run again. Qin Run rubbed his head distressedly and said, "Listen to your brother Xu."
Xu Yunfan found a small basket and put four loaves of bread in it. He turned around and tore off some unused banana leaves from the ground beside him. He covered the basket with them and handed the basket to Qin An. "Brother An, Brother Xu has a task for you."
Qin An quickly swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked curiously, "What mission? Just tell me, Gefu. I will definitely complete it."
Xu Yunfan handed the small basket to Qin An, "There are four loaves of bread in it. Take them and share them with the three eggs. Don't forget to share one with Xiaoshan from Grandpa Qinsen's house."
"Okay~" Qin An plays best with them in Dali Village. It can be said that they and Ye Wa are his best friends.
Qin An was very happy to be able to take such delicious bread to share with his friends.
The happy Qin An held the bread in one hand and a small basket in the other, and ran very fast with his short legs.
Qin Run looked at his increasingly lively and cheerful brother and felt even more grateful to Xu Yunfan. "Yunfan, thank you."
The sudden thank you made Xu Yunfan stunned for a moment, "What's there to thank me for? An Ge'er is also my brother. Children should be carefree and play. What's the point of him working alone at home all day? Oh, by the way, what did Uncle Fang's family say? Do they agree?"
It is said that when Qin Run took the four buns to Fang Liehu's house, Fang Liehu happened to take Fang Yifang and others to the town to find work.
Aunt Fang took Fang San to the mountain to collect firewood, leaving only Grandma Fang and Grandpa Fang, who had difficulty walking, at home.
