Chapter 21 Chicken Cake(1/2)
Author: Mahjong Jun
Zhao Wenmu didn't know what happened at the glass factory.
He went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Brother Li Saner has not been very good recently. After so many days, except for a sewing machine coupon, he has not obtained any other coupons.
He decided to push it and put some pressure on it.
Without pressure, there is no motivation!
As a result, Li San'er was not found. After asking Li San'er's "colleagues", I found out that this kid had been arrested.
No wonder I haven’t believed it for so long!
I guess it will be out soon.
As long as the crime is not too big, such as too much stolen property found on the person, the person will usually be released after ten days and a half.
Zhao Wenmu then found someone else to buy fifteen industrial coupons, as well as some non-staple food coupons such as sugar, salt, vinegar, and some eggs and pork coupons.
The industrial coupon is for buying a large clock.
I wanted to buy it before, but I either didn’t have industrial coupons or had no money, so I’ve been putting it off until now.
It is really inconvenient not to have a wall clock at home.
Not only a wall clock, but also a watch as soon as possible.
Zhao Wenmu, who was accustomed to mobile phones in his previous life, now has empty hands and always feels a little awkward.
Time is money, this slogan with the highest reputation and the most influence on Chinese people will not stand in Shenzhen Shekou Industrial Zone until next year.
People nowadays generally don't have much sense of time.
Zhao Wenmu bought the Polaris large wall clock, which cost 58 yuan each, so he bought three of them!
It’s a big addition to your home, after all, it’s not cheap!
Of course I didn't buy three just to use one to watch one and save one. The other two are for Zhao Wenlin and Zhao Wenguang.
Back at the old house, Zhao Wenmu moved the wall clocks into the yard. Several aunts in the village saw them from a distance and couldn't help but admire:
"The youngest of the Xuehai family is really prosperous now. He just bought a sewing machine and a new house. He bought three such big wall clocks at once!"
"Yeah, yeah, I don't know where the money comes from."
"A Yuan, that boy from the Xueqin family, follows him to the city every day. Even if I ask him what he is doing, he won't tell me!"
A woman living at the end of the village said in a low voice.
"Isn't that Aunt Cuihua from the Xueqin family over there? Let's go and ask."
Several women walked towards Zhao Wenyuan's wife, Sun Cuihua.
As a result, Sun Cuihua also had no idea what to ask.
She didn't mean to hide it from everyone, she really didn't know.
Her son runs away every day, so she is naturally concerned about what he is doing.
But Zhao Wenyuan didn't say anything. He only said that he was helping Zhao Wenmu to work, that he was doing serious work, and asked her not to pry around.
Sun Cuihua was so angry that she patted her son on the back several times.
Who is Zhao Wenmu? He is a famous second-rate man in the village. What good things can he do by following him?
She winked hard at her husband, Zhao Xueqin, who just sucked the pipe in his hand and said nothing.
Zhao Xueqin is still very relieved that his son will follow Zhao Wenmu.
Amu, this kid, is not confused about big things.
At this moment, Sun Cuihua, like these aunts, was murmuring in her heart. Everyone noticed that Zhao Wenmu was not doing his job properly in the past, but when such a big change happened in such a short period of time, many people actually had doubts in their hearts.
I suspect that the source of the money may not be legitimate.
They haven't noticed that their children have been eating too much sweets recently.
Those families where someone secretly sold prey to Zhao Wenmu knew that Zhao Wenmu had really made a lot of money with his skills.
Zhao Wenmu came back late today, and his second sister-in-law Song Yun was helping Zhao Jing cook for the villagers who were building houses.
A big pot full of pork and cabbage buns.
The meat is rich and filling, and the aroma lingers throughout the yard.
Steamed buns are cooked using large firewood, which are thick branches or split tree trunks.
In the past, Zhao Jing did all the work of chopping firewood and carrying water at home. With her thin body, she could carry two full buckets of water without swaying when she walked.
When she was pregnant and in confinement, Zhao Wenlin and Zhao Wenguang took turns helping her.
Since Zhao Wenmu was reborn, he has completely taken over these two jobs.
This is originally a man's job.
There is no open flame in the stove now, but the embers of the wood are still full of heat.
Zhao Wenmu suddenly remembered a delicious dish.
Chicken cake.
It's simple and delicious, and it just makes use of the residual heat from the stove.
Thinking of this, he immediately fetched water and washed his hands thoroughly.
Then take seven or eight eggs and beat them in a bowl, and use a spoon to carefully separate the egg whites and egg yolks.
Add soybean oil, white sugar, and a little salt to the egg yolks, stir gently, then sprinkle in flour, an appropriate amount of water, and stir gently until there are no particles in the flour.
Seeing that Zhao Wenmu was making delicious food again, Zhao Zimeng and Zhao Ziting put down the rattles in their hands and rushed over to watch with their little girls in their arms.
Zhao Wenmu then used chopsticks to gently stir the egg whites into a foamy form, adding some sugar to it while stirring.
There were no electric egg beaters in this era, not even simple manual egg beaters.
Stirring with chopsticks is a little more troublesome, but the effect is actually not much different.
After the egg whites are stirred until thick, stir the egg whites into the prepared egg yolk paste several times, trying to ensure that the air in the egg whites is not squeezed out.
Then pour the prepared egg cake batter into a small cast iron pan.
He used a fire stick to gather the embers in the stove, and then squatted the small iron pot directly in the center of the embers.
When the embers are extinguished, the cake will be baked.
Although the egg cake produced in this way is not as soft and tender as the steamed one, and because the heat cannot be accurately controlled, the bottom of the cake is still a little burnt.
But it is better in that it is simple to make and has a unique flavor.
The surface of the pastry is soft and sweet, and the bottom also has the feeling of eating crispy rice, and the aroma is stronger.
This chicken cake with the smell of firewood instantly conquered the hearts of Zimeng and Ziting.
"The cake was big, round, delicious and sweet. Ziting ate one piece after another, and my uncle made pot after pot!"
Zhao Zimeng made up a jingle on the spot.
It made Song Yun and Zhao Jing laugh so hard that their flowers trembled.
This guy will definitely be a glib guy in the future!
The little girl can't eat complementary food at the moment. Watching her brothers and sisters eat, she reaches out to grab them in a hurry.
Although the little guy is small, he is very fast, and once he is caught in her hand, he will not let go, and his strength is quite strong.
You must keep an eye on it at all times.
This kind of soft and sweet stuff is rare. Song Yun and Zhao Jing were only willing to eat a little bit, leaving the rest for their two little carrot heads.
"Is it tasty?"
Zhao Wenmu asked Zhao Jing with a smile.
“Delicious, so delicious!”
Zhao Jing's eyes were sparkling.
"Then I'll do a good job for you from now on!"
"Um!"
Zhao Jing felt very sweet in her heart. Such a little brother made her feel that her life was running forward every day, unlike before, where she just lived in numbness.
At the same time, she began to feel a little worried. Her younger brother was getting better and better, would she one day not be able to keep up with him?
Song Yun, who was inexplicably fed a mouthful of dog food, said, "Where am I and what am I doing?"
The weather is starting to get hotter. Spring in the north is very short, and summer is here just after winter.
The wheat in the ground began to grow vigorously and rapidly.
Almost overnight, knots began to form and ears grew.
