Du Shaoqing said to do it, at home to find some home-made leftover sake lees juice, the Tang Dynasty in this era because of the lack of food in the country, so the state stipulates that grain brewing is illegal, but the people have been drinking for a long time, mostly to the wild fruits on the mountain to brew some turbid fruit wine, Du Shaoqing's family opened an inn, this turbid wine is naturally indispensable, and winemaking will also produce sake lees.If you want to make steamed buns, in this era when there is no baking powder, you can only use traditional old noodles to make noodles, which need to be mixed with flour with sake lees juice and water, mixed and fermented in a warm environment for four hours to make old noodles.At night, Du Shaoqing lay on the couch with the child in his arms, the little girl who was tired for a day was also sleepy, and was soon coaxed to sleep, looking at the little girl sleeping sweetly, and frowning from time to time, Du Shaoqing guessed that he might be a dream mother, and at the same time he was even more puzzled, who is the mother of this child?
Where did it go?
At the same time, in the palace of Chang'an City, the queen's dormitory, the princess who was accompanying her seriously ill mother woke up from her sleep and sat up in shock.The mother next to her, Empress Changsun, was also awakened, and asked lovingly, "Is it a nightmare?"
If you have anything on your mind, you can talk to the queen mother, don't hold it alone, it will hurt your body. ”The princess pressed her mother, who was about to get up, and said with an apology: "Let the queen mother worry, the child is fine, it's just a dream, the queen mother's body is important, rest quickly." ”Then the princess also lay down again, and the mother and daughter were silent for a moment, and the queen sighed and asked, "You are my own child, how can I not understand your character?"
If there is anything to tell me, a mother, my mother can't harm you, there won't be that kind of thing five years ago, and your father and I have long regretted it. ”The queen already called herself a mother, and wanted to say something intimate, but what she was waiting for was a few slight snorings, and the princess was already asleep, maybe pretending to be asleep, but even so, the queen could only sigh, and did not wake up her daughter, and in the silent darkness, a tear slipped through the corner of the princess's eyes.After Du Shaoqing put the child to sleep, he quietly got up and came to the kitchen alone to get busy again, and the time was almost midnight.Looking at the small dough in the basin, there are many cracks on it, Du Shaoqing knows that it has succeeded, God help me, this is a ball of fermented old noodles.Then he took the flour again, this time the amount was larger, five catties, mixed with this old dough with water, and fermented again for four hours, if the five catties of flour let the third aunt see, it must be distressed, in case it is not done, isn't this a waste of food?
Du Shaoqing had no sleepiness in his thoughts, so anxiously waiting for the second fermentation of steamed buns, whether he could develop steamed buns depends on this time, if not, he will not have time to test himself a second time, because if he can't take out the steamed buns tomorrow, the store will be taken away by Master Tian.The hard work paid off, and after a long four hours, Du Shaoqing saw a pot full of fermented dough, and he was overjoyed, and the next thing was to knead the steamed buns and then steam them in the pot.In this way, he was busy from late at night to early the next morning, Du Shaoqing did not close his eyes all night, and he had already boiled out two black circles under his eyes.At dawn, when the sky was just dawning, the time was almost up, the firewood was removed, and then he got up and opened the steamer, after a burst of mist steaming, the cage drawer was a white and round fresh steamed bun, Du Shaoqing laughed, it was done, it was done!"
Daddy, what are you doing?
Is it delicious?
Xuanxuan is hungry and wants to eat!
”It turned out that although the little girl was small, she had barely learned to dress, but it seemed that she had forgotten to put on her shoes, and ran to the kitchen barefoot.Looking at the steamed buns that had just been lifted here, smelling the tempting fragrance of wheat, Du Shaoqing had already seen the saliva on the corner of the little girl's mouth, it seemed that this was also a snack.stepped forward and picked up his daughter, and then regardless of whether he washed his face or not, he picked up a steamed bun and handed it over, "Come, try Daddy's craftsmanship, this is what I said yesterday, something ten times better than bread." ”The little girl stared at the steamed bun and nodded again and again, then hugged it with both hands and took a big bite, and then she kept listening to her constant uh-huh, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and it seemed that it was delicious and speechless."
I'll help you put on your shoes, and then you go to the third grandfather's house and call the third grandfather's family for breakfast, okay?"
Du Xuanxuan nodded very happily and agreed, if it weren't for Du Shaoqingqiang holding down and helping her put on her shoes, it is estimated that she would have to run barefoot.Not long after, the third uncle's family came to the back house of the inn, and the fastest step was his cousin Du Shaoming, who laughed after seeing Du Shaoqing's image, "Big brother, what are you doing here?"
When will you still be able to heal?
Is this green poop-like thing curing your head?
”"Go, go, don't mess around, this is the swelling herb I collected yesterday, it looks indecent but has the best effect, I forgot to take it off when I was busy, what do children know?""
Huh?
Do you really know how to heal?
It seems that what Daddy said is really right, it's good to read more, even if there is no inn, you won't be hungry when you go to practice medicine. ”Du Shaoming said with some envy.But Du Shaoqing did not rejoice, in his previous life, his family practiced medicine for generations, he also learned medical skills since childhood, and was very talented, he was favored by many predecessors in China at a young age, and was known as a rare genius of Chinese medicine in a hundred years, but unfortunately he became famous at a young age and was envied, and then he was framed, and the family spent a lot of effort to protect him, so he went to climb Mount Hua alone, and later had an accident to cross.With the painful experience of the last time, Du Shaoqing was tired of practicing medicine to help the world, so in this life, he didn't think about relying on medical skills to eat anymore."
Haha, Da Lang got up really early, yesterday Uncle I was lucky, not only arrived at two pheasants, but on the way back there was a good red fox, that fox skin will definitely be able to sell for a good price."
The third uncle, who came in, said with a smile.The third aunt, who walked in with Xuanxuan in her arms, asked puzzledly: "Da Lang, you called us over so early, wouldn't you be in a hurry to talk about your pure white noodles?"
”"Wow, big brother, this steamed bun must be delicious, I drool when I smell this taste."
It turned out that Du Shaoming, who was the first to go, had already discovered steamed buns."
You're hungry when you get some food, try it quickly."
Du Shaoqing took one for each of the three uncles and three aunts, and the two of them pinched it in their hands, it was really magical, what was so soft?
Tried to take a bite, both of them were eye-catching, good things, absolutely good things, which can't be compared to the thick bread.The third uncle was overjoyed and said: "Dalang, with this good thing, it must be easier to sell than pastries, and now our bread stall doesn't have to close." ”"But what do you do?
And I heard your third aunt say that it is pure white noodles, I'm afraid the price is not low, if so, then it's hard to say. ”Listening to the words of the third uncle, Du Shaoqing explained with a smile: "Third uncle, this is made of a secret recipe, except for me, no one else will do it, and I am not afraid that they will rob the business again."
And this steamed bun is carefully made by me, a steamed bun uses the same amount of white flour as your coarse bread white flour, but the steamed size is larger, so we don't have to sell four for one penny, this time we sell three for one penny, such a good thing, it must be easy to sell. ”It's true?
The third uncle exclaimed, a little incredulous.The price level of the Tang Dynasty, compared with the modern era, is roughly the four yuan of one money in modern times at that time, and the one thousand in the Tang Dynasty is consistent money, which is also equal to one or two silver Here only the official quotation is said, not to mention that one or two black market transactions can be worth one thousand and one hundred and so on, this book is all converted with this economy, please don't be serious."
This is a secret method, how can you, a scholar who stays at home, know about it?
Da Lang, no matter how poor we are, we can't do bad things with our conscience. ”The third uncle admonished.
