Chapter 172 Garlic Buns
This method will be faster than natural light exposure.
The disadvantage is the control of heat and time. If you don't control it well, it will easily burn.
She still needs to test more and experience more.
The lunch was quite sumptuous. In addition to the barbecue made by Zhou Mingshu, there was a dish of fried eggs with garlic, a dish of stir-fried water chestnuts, a dish of porcini mushrooms and lard, a dish of mung bean jelly, and a bowl of thirst-quenching noodle soup.
For the entire afternoon, Zhou Mingshu and his two sisters were circling around the oven.
I looked at the ceramic jar and saw that it was already half full of dried strawberries.
Some of them were burnt, but that was okay, they were still edible.
Liu and her friends were making big garlic buns.
In the evening, they will have delicious food again.
"Grandma, there's more than one way to make dumplings. They can be steamed or fried. Make us a few small ones and fry them later."
Zhou Mingshu was a little greedy. The fried buns were golden and crispy on the outside, and more fragrant than the steamed ones.
"Okay, then pack a small basket for the children."
Old Mrs. Zhou asked Feng to roll out a few small sheets of dough.
They prepared a large pot of stuffing, which was enough to make two large pots of buns, enough for their whole family to eat for two days.
There is no meat in the filling, but there is lard, chopped eggs, and diced long beans. The taste is no worse than meat buns.
Boss Zhou and his men went to work in the fields, which was Zhou Mingshu's idea.
They are digging the buffer zone.
With this isolation zone, the possibility of fire will be much smaller.
They have summed up some experience in terms of time and timing.
Zhou Mingshu asked her eldest and second sisters to watch over the oven while she went to make the strawberry jam.
Since no one is watching in the kitchen, it will be much easier for her to add ingredients.
The previous jar was not full, but she cleaned a new one anyway so that it would be safer to use.
If there is a slight mistake and the strawberry jam becomes moldy, it would be a waste of time.
This time she added more sugar and lemon juice and also some honey.
There are few vegetables and fruits in winter, so it is a good idea to use strawberry jam to replace vitamin C.
When Brother Zhou came back, he happened to go behind the house.
He took out a few eels from the fish basket.
"I haven't caught any fish for several days, but I catch eels quite often."
They kept the eels in a bucket for the time being and had no intention of killing them.
Because I can't have dinner today.
Who would want to eat eels when you have these big buns to eat?
You don’t even need to cook noodle soup. Just drink some tea when you’re thirsty.
After all, with so many people at home, it’s not easy to prepare a meal.
After resting for a while, they were called away by Old Lady Zhou and asked to clean up the donkey shed and chicken shed in the back...
The sheds for these livestock need to be cleaned regularly, otherwise they will get sick from being stuffy.
Besides, farming is about to begin, and the manure is all fertilizer. Collecting it and fermenting it will make it easier to use it in the fields later.
After scraping out all the feces, they put some hay and wood ash in it, and it looked much cleaner than before.
Even the flies and insects have decreased a little.
"Since we've had these animals, there have been more flies and insects in the backyard, and that's the downside of feeding them."
Boss Zhou sighed imperceptibly.
Why don't God take these flies away? They buzz around every day and are really annoying.
"Just clean up more. If that doesn't work, just use more mugwort. We have plenty of it at home anyway."
Zhou Laosan suggested.
"This is a good idea, but there are some waste wormwood. These things are for our use. Burning them in the house will have some effect. I wonder if the effect will be greatly reduced if we burn them in the yard."
Besides, it would be bad if the water leaked.
"The effect is definitely not as good as in the house. If you really feel annoyed, just light it up. There are plenty of wormwood bushes at the foot of the mountain."
Zhou Laosan plucked a strand of dogtail grass from the side, held it in his mouth, and swayed it from side to side, looking very playful.
By the time they finished cleaning the backyard, the first pot of big buns in the front yard had already been steamed.
Zhou Mingshu's strawberry jam has also reached the final stage.
By the time she was done, another pot was steaming buns.
The remaining buns on the table were left for Zhou Mingshu to fry and eat.
All the pots in the house were used, so these small buns were left for last.
I'll show you how she makes pan-fried dumplings later.
By then, the crispy pan-fried buns will surely amaze everyone.
Zhou Mingqin used the roasted strawberry preserves to make tea for a while, then took a big bun and started eating.
It’s so delicious!
"Daya, is it delicious?" asked Old Mrs. Zhou.
"It's delicious and fragrant. It's really fragrant. I think this big bun tastes better than dumplings. I can eat two!"
Zhou Mingqin held up two fingers, and Old Mrs. Zhou smiled with joy.
"As long as it tastes good, as long as it tastes good." She also likes eating this big bun, to the point that she would not trade it for anything else!
The big buns were still steaming. Zhou Mingqin squatted in the kitchen and ate them. She laughed even though she was burned, but she didn't stop eating.
"Are your dried strawberries almost ready?"
"Almost there, one last board."
"Yeah, that's fine. It's getting dark. If you can't finish it, you can do it tomorrow."
"No, we can finish it all today. It will save us a lot of trouble. Maybe we will have other work to do tomorrow."
"Yeah, that's right. When you're done eating, go to the backyard and call your dad and ask them to come over and eat some buns."
"it is good."
How could Zhou Mingqin possibly wait until she finished eating? She stood up and walked away while biting the bun.
Zhou Mingshu did not stop. After serving the strawberry jam, he added oil to the bottom of the pot and then placed the buns in a circle around the bottom of the pot.
This pot is not a frying pan, so it’s not very easy to use. Let’s just make do with this.
The buns are easy to fry, but it takes at least twenty minutes.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Mingshu fried it a little longer, but unfortunately, the batter she wanted was not as crispy as she wanted.
But the crispy and fragrant buns still received unanimous praise from everyone.
Zhou Mingshu was eating the "pan-fried buns" she made, thinking about making a frying pan in the future.
The big buns in the first pot were quickly eaten up, but all the buns in the second pot were left.
Everyone was full, and some couldn't eat anymore.
After the heat from the buns dissipated, Liu put all the buns in a basket and put them in the closet.
Wait until tomorrow to have it for breakfast.
"Let's get up earlier tomorrow. There will be a lot of dew in the morning, so the straw won't burn so quickly. It's a good time to go to the field and burn the straw. We can bring some things with us, so if the fire can't be controlled, we can still put it out."
After Mrs. Zhou gave the instructions, everyone went to rest with their full stomachs.
Zhou Mingshu asked everyone to go to her room to listen to the class and learn to read, and also review the Arabic numerals learned in the previous two days, and take a test on addition and subtraction within three.
