Chapter 207: Steamed buns (second update)
Mrs. Cui said: "I originally said we didn't need it. We can pick it ourselves, but everyone said it didn't take much effort. They picked a lot and they had to give some to us."
“Most people in the village have this temperament. You have helped them, and if they don’t repay you a little bit, they will feel bad about it.”
“That’s fine, the Sophora japonica flowers don’t cost any money and have no impact on everyone.”
Jiang Zhiluo thought of the pure nature of everyone in Donghe Village, and her heart felt warm, "Well, let's make locust flower buns at night."
Mrs. Cui smiled and said: "I have already kneaded the dough. It should be ready by evening."
After lunch, Mrs. Cui hurriedly kneaded the dough.
The noodles will definitely be ready in two hours.
When making steamed buns, it is natural to use yeast bread, which is soft and delicious.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "I'll wash the Sophora japonica flowers first."
Jiang Zhiluo sorted out the pile of sophora flowers piled in the yard, and then took out some to wash.
After cleaning, blanch the Sophora japonica flowers over a fire, take them out quickly, squeeze out the excess water and leave them aside.
Mrs. Cui had almost chopped the meat and asked, "Zhiluo, should you chop these sophora flowers into pieces?"
Jiang Zhiluo explained: "Mom, no need, just mix it with the meat for a while. When we make buns, we don't need a thin filling like dumplings."
“You don’t need to chop the meat too finely.”
Mrs. Cui looked at the meat on the chopping board and said, "Then such a small piece of meat should be enough."
After Jiang Zhiluo finished cooking, she went to the vegetable garden in the yard and pulled out a few green onions, washed them, and brought them into the house to chop them into pieces.
Mrs. Cui said: "Let me cut it."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded.
She stirred the sophora flowers and meat together, and started to add salt and other seasonings.
Mrs. Cui quickly chopped the green onions and put them into the basin.
Pour in the Jiangzhiluo together and stir to mix the filling and seasonings evenly.
I made a big pot of stuffing so that I could make more dumplings.
It just so happens that this weather can be used for storage.
In this era, there is no refrigerator, so there is no way to store things.
If there is a refrigerator, the buns can be frozen in the refrigerator.
“It will be ready in a while.”
Mrs. Cui exclaimed just by smelling the stuffing: "It smells so fragrant, and it must taste delicious too."
“It’s not wrapped yet, you can smell it.”
Mrs. Cui said: "Of course, the flavor you mixed is fragrant."
The fragrance filled her every breath, and she began to look forward to eating sophora flower steamed buns.
“But it’s true that our family hasn’t made steamed buns for a long time.”
At this moment, Mrs. Cui really wants to eat steamed buns.
“I still remember the willow bud buns you made in February. They were also delicious.”
It was then that Mrs. Cui realized that willow buds could also be used as vegetables.
These Sophora Flower Buns definitely taste good too.
Jiang Zhiluo's expression moved. Time passed quickly. It had been three months since she came to Cui's house.
Jiang Zhiluo was talking to Mrs. Cui and mixing the stuffing.
After the dough is ready, two people will put the board in place and make the buns together.
After wrapping the buns, it’s time to steam them.
Not only the Cui family is making buns, but many other families have picked locust flowers and are preparing to make buns.
Some people are reluctant to use white bread, so they eat it with corn bread or multi-grain bread.
Some people only make steamed stuffed buns with vegetarian fillings, while others who are willing to add a little meat will add some.
The Li Zheng family is also making buns
Zhu's youngest son, Zhou Zhaohe, saw that his mother only put a little meat on it and said, "Mom, can you put more meat? The steamed buns are delicious with meat." Zhu said, "If only before, mother would have put more meat on you. , let you have a good meal.”
"But haven't you heard? There is a war outside. I don't know when there will be a war here, so we have to save some food and stock up more food. I don't know if we will hide in the mountains by then. ”
Zhou Zhaohe was a little scared when he heard this, "Mom, is it true? You really know how to fight and you have to hide in the mountains."
“Then if we hide in the mountains for several years, what will we eat?”
Zhu was also taken aback, "It's not like there have been wars outside for several years, right?"
Zhu was actually a little scared.
But she still consoled her: "Children, don't think so much. Go wash your hands and help mother make buns later."
Many people in the village are feeling a little heavy. They are also afraid of fighting or needing to hide.
But I picked a lot of Sophora japonica flowers in one afternoon, and most people were preparing to make Sophora japonica buns or Sophora japonica dumplings.
Thinking of eating delicious food, everyone temporarily forgot about the war outside.
Some people don’t think about it at all.
"We have said that there is a war in Qingzhou, and we won't be able to get here for a while. It's time to eat and rest. Don't worry about anything else."
In the evening, smoke rises from the village, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.
Jiang Zhiluo burned the firewood to steam the buns. The heat seeped through the pot lid, and the aroma of the buns also spread out.
Jiang Zhiluo thought to herself, this is the smoke of fireworks.
The steamed buns are almost ready, and Cui Hejin is back.
Mrs. Cui was cleaning the yard when she saw Cui Hejin coming back and said, "I'm back. Let's eat something delicious tonight. The buns are made with sophora flower and stuffed with dill. It smells delicious."
Mrs. Cui is very excited when she thinks about eating delicious food.
Cui Hejin nodded, "Is everything okay in the village?"
"What can happen? Don't worry. Zhiluo is here. Mom is fine. You don't have to worry."
With her daughter-in-law by her side, Mrs. Cui feels full of security.
At night, the whole family sat together and ate sophora flower steamed buns. They all felt warm and comfortable after eating them.
Mrs. Cui was amazed, "Don't tell me, these locust flower buns are so delicious. They have a unique and delicious taste. They are different from other dishes."
“Zhiluo, you know better. If you had known it, we could pick locust flowers to make buns last spring, but it’s a pity that no one knew about it at that time.”
“Yummy, really delicious.”
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Well, it's quite delicious."
She likes the taste too.
You can only eat Sophora japonica steamed buns in spring.
Reminds her of some memories from her previous life in modern times.
Cui Hejin also thought it tasted good and ate an extra bun according to his appetite.
Many people in the village also make steamed buns, and they are full of emotion when eating the locust flower steamed buns.
Mrs. Zhao saw her two grandsons enjoying the food and said with a smile: "That kid Zhiluo is very capable. If she hadn't told her, who would have known that Sophora japonica is a good thing."
There is also the Niu family. She saw her son eating happily and said with a smile: "Is it so delicious?"
Shan Mao ate the buns, his mouth bulging, "Mom, the buns are really delicious."
“It tastes better than the buns you made before.”
Niu had already eaten a bun and said, "The main reason is that the buns made from Sophora japonica have a unique taste, so the buns are delicious."
She didn’t put in a few pieces of meat, but the taste was just different.
Even her head, Liu Cang, ate two extra buns.
People in the village were very happy to eat the Sophora japonica steamed buns, and they were also grateful to Jiang Zhiluo.
Of course, Jiang Zhiluo didn't know this. When she went to bed that night, she had another dream.
