"Sister-in-law, the craft I taught you today is the last time I went to Laojun Mountain, I met a white-haired old man who taught me, it is not difficult, anyone can learn it when they see it, and it is easier for people like sister-in-law to cook often. It is a kind of pancake craft, called scallion pancake, after learning, sister-in-law can go to the market every day to sell, after all, there is a livelihood income. Xia Hongsheng rolled up his sleeves and said to her sister-in-law while kneading the dough in the basin vigorously. However, looking at Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law's appearance, he looked ashamed and embarrassed, and he wanted to cry, as if he had committed a sin that was difficult to forgive.

"Hongsheng, although my sister-in-law has no knowledge, I have also heard that the gentleman is far away from cooking, you are a man and a scholar, how can you be smoked by this? If this spreads, my sister-in-law will be poked in the back! The woman stood aside and said in horror, if it wasn't for Xia Hongsheng's tantrum just now, which made her stop, she would have withdrawn Xia Hongsheng from the stove at this time.

"As I said earlier, the gentleman's cooking is just an excuse for their laziness, Confucius also cooks by himself, they have a kind of kitchen and a kind of don't eat! Sister-in-law, if you stop me again, I will be sick soon, and I will be in a coma for another four or five days, delaying my studies, see what you do! Xia Hongsheng said to the woman very scoundrelly, the frightened woman really didn't dare to say any more, just stood aside and watched Xia Hongsheng's every move nervously, and peeked at the door from time to time, for fear that someone would suddenly come in at this time and see Xia Hongsheng himself getting off the stove.

Xia Hongsheng didn't care about this, and said while kneading the dough by himself: "Sister-in-law, the branding method of this scallion pancake is very simple, if you take it out and sell it, someone will definitely be able to learn it within a few days, but our family is better than the other people's sales, the key is in two points, one is on the noodles, and a little on the fried green onions." As long as these two little skills are not learned, the ones they make will not be as delicious as ours. Sister-in-law, listen well, this noodle technique is very simple, that is, use warm water to mix the noodles, make the noodles soft, and then sprinkle salt into the noodles, so that the noodles are good. As for fried green onions, hehe, the green onions that are ready to be mated must be poured with hot oil in advance to burst out the green onions, which is enough. ”

After reconciling the noodles, put them in the basin and wake up, and waited for the noodles to be completed, Xia Hongsheng then threw the butter that had just been cut into the oil, and then poured the green onions with those oils, and then put the soldering board on the fire, and then pulled out the hot noodles from the basin, kneaded them skillfully three or two times on the board next to them, rolled them out and sprinkled them with green onions, then formed a dough, and then rolled them out, and a green onion cake was formed. Smeared some of the cooked oil on the soldering board, saw the green smoke rising, and quickly spread the dough cake on it, a soldering board was full of six or seven dough cakes, the sound of "zizilala" sounded, and for a time the whole stove fire and the yard were full of fragrance, the oil fragrance was mixed with the green onion, and the aroma of the baking of the dough cake was mixed together, which made people move their fingers, and the mouth subconsciously swallowed saliva.

"Sister-in-law, it should have been made of lard, it was cheap, easy to get, and the meat was fragrant enough, so I will use lard in the future." Xia Hongsheng instructed while flipping the dough. After a while, the six or seven scallion pancakes were finally baked, and Xia Hongsheng didn't care about being hot, picked it up and tore off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few bites and swallowed it, well, it's not bad, it's quite delicious. So she smiled and handed it to her sister-in-law, the woman was already stunned, she couldn't believe that Xia Hongsheng could actually make such a good cake, when the smell of green onions came out just now, she knew that this must be a very good delicacy. It's just curious, Xia Hongsheng was very skilled in rolling dough and kneading cakes just now, and she asked herself that she had never let Xia Hongsheng get wet with oil smoke before, but she didn't know where she had practiced it. The aroma of scallion pancakes, smelling makes people's saliva water, seeing Xia Hongsheng handed it over, the woman hurriedly took it, and quickly changed her hands to change it, and also tore off a piece and filled it into her mouth like Xia Hongsheng, before she opened it, she was already filled with the spleen by the aroma, chewed a few bites and swallowed it, only to feel fresh and salty, the gluten was soft, with the fragrance of green onions and meat, it was a delicacy that she had never eaten in her life!

"Hongsheng, you...... Where did you ...... from" The woman was shocked, Xia Hongsheng, who had never been in the stove, actually baked the cake so delicious.

"Sister-in-law, you can learn to brand the rest of the rest, learn to be proficient, let's get a cart, set up a charcoal stove, and go to the market to make and sell!" Xia Hongsheng laughed and said.

Women are not stupid people, just heard Xia Hongsheng's words, and thought about why it is so troublesome to get a cart and a stove to go out to do it like other people who sell cakes like other people who sell cakes. But then I thought about it, and I understood. The aroma of this cake in the process of making zuò is much more useful than shouting hard. As long as the dough is reconciled at home first, and the green onion is ready-made, and then take it out to make it, it will not expose those two little tricks. Women are young and run the house, and they still have this bit of intelligence, otherwise they would not grit their teeth and send Xia Hongsheng to the academy. In order to make a living, she has endured enough hardships, and she naturally has no burden when she goes out to sell cakes.

The sister-in-law was learning to make scallion pancakes there, Xia Hongsheng himself walked out, stretched his waist, and just stretched out his arms, he noticed that there were more than a dozen children squatting outside his fence, three or four years old, six or seven years old, all of them staring at the yard with their eyes in the yard, their noses sobbing loudly, and a few small ones were already drooling, and those older ones were all constantly swallowing.

They are all children from the neighborhood, looking at their gluttony, Xia Hongsheng suddenly felt full of a sense of accomplishment, laughed, turned around and went back to the stove to slip out of several scallion pancakes, as soon as the door was opened, those children saw what he was going to do, so they all surrounded him.

There were too many children, and the cakes were not enough to divide, so one person tore some and finished the cakes that had just been baked. The older children politely thanked them, and then reluctantly went home, and a few of them still had some of the rest in their hands and did not eat them, thinking that they would take them home for their families to taste.

Looking at this group of children, Xia Hongsheng's heart suddenly moved, grinned, turned around and ran back into the fire, and said to his sister-in-law who was carefully learning to cook scallion pancakes: "Sister-in-law, I'm going back to the academy tomorrow for class, haha, don't bring anything else, just bring some scallion pancakes!" You can save some noodles and chopped green onions, and cook a few tomorrow morning, and I'll take advantage of the tropics to eat at the academy! ”

Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law is also a long-term housewife, she is very good at cooking, this scallion pancake is simple, it is difficult for her, she quickly learned, and a few in a row, more and more proficient, taste the taste, except for the first few are a little salty, to the back, it is no different from Xia Hongsheng's own scallion pancakes, even more regular than what he made.

My sister-in-law is in a good mood, she knows the situation in the market, this scallion pancake tastes so good, it is foreseeable that the business will not be bad. finally saw the hope that life was gradually getting better, how could she not be excited? Under the excitement of love, the woman boiled a large basin of water, and forced Xia Hongsheng to wash the red meat, saying that she wanted to wash off the fumes, but she didn't dare to let people find out that he was going to enter the stove fire as a scholar.

Early the next morning, Xia Hongsheng woke up in the aroma of fragrant scallion pancakes, and as soon as he got dressed and went out, he saw his sister-in-law busy in the stove, and a stack of scallion pancakes had been baked beside him. Xia Hongsheng went to wash himself, nibbled on two hot scallion pancakes in this millet soup, wrapped some more, and then took him out. His sister-in-law is more familiar with this Luanzhou city than him, and he naturally doesn't have to worry about selling scallion pancakes, but there is less noodles today, and there are not many things to do. Xia Hongsheng saw those sandy coarse salts, his mind was already alive, and he felt that he seemed to be able to boil refined salt from them, but the specific method was a little unclear, and he had to find a time to test it and give it a try.

Luanzhou City is not very large, it is a county seat under Luoyang, but it is not close to Luoyang City. The location of the academy is very good, built on the mountain, gradually rising, the name of the mountain is Kuiqiu Mountain, this word is deep and the heart of Mr. College and a kind of student.

When I arrived at the academy, many students were hurrying away, and few people greeted Xia Hongsheng, because Xia Hongsheng only knew how to read earlier, but he was extremely wooden in dealing with people, and there was no other interaction on weekdays except for a few brothers who followed the same gentleman. The academy has to read in the morning, go very early, and only eat breakfast after the morning reading, and the students have to bring it from home regardless of the food. For those who are older, there are subordinates in the family, and when they arrive at the restaurant, someone will naturally send them, and those poor children can only stay by themselves, and squat in the yard to eat when they eat. Xia Hongsheng took a fancy to this time, and deliberately wrapped several layers of scallion pancakes for heat preservation with cloth, and opened them in the academy to let the fragrance out, which was so attractive! There are very few students in the academy like Xia Hongsheng, and they can still get a scallion pancake for one or two pennies. In ancient times, the literati were light on businessmen, and naturally they could not be sold in the academy, and they were seen by the husband, not to mention that it was also a board, and they could be dropped out of school if they were strict. What Xia Hongsheng has to do is just need to sue them, and it can be sold in the market.

At the end of the morning reading, Xia Hongsheng rushed out of the classroom at the right time, and ran to a large locust tree in the courtyard in a few steps, which was the most crowded place during meals. Soon, I saw the side door of the academy open, and the little guy who delivered the food came in one by one with the food box, and Xia Hongsheng, who was watching, was red-eyed, damn, local tyrants are everywhere!

"Little junior brother, why did you run so fast today?" Xia Hongsheng had just sat down when an arm hooked him, and then he saw a figure sitting down on the bluestone next to him. When he looked up, wasn't it Senior Brother Xu who went to send something to visit him yesterday! I don't know if yesterday's thing was his or Mr.'s, but whoever sent it should be thanked.

So Xia Hongsheng stood up and thanked him, and said, "Yesterday, Senior Brother Xu and Mr. visited me together, and they also sent such valuable things, and the junior brother thanked Senior Brother Xu!" Senior Brother Xu didn't eat? ”

"The next person hasn't arrived yet, and I think it's already on the way." Xu Qixian waved his hand, and Laxia Hongsheng sat back on the bluestone.

Xia Hongsheng smiled, mysteriously lit up the package in his hand, and said, "Then Senior Brother Xu, why don't you taste the cake I brought today, my sister-in-law made it is delicious." ”

Xu Qixian originally came to see Xia Hongsheng's mysterious appearance, and he was quite curious about what was inside the package, because of the close distance, it seemed to have an oil fragrance, but when he heard that it was still a cake, it was tasteless. However, when Xia Hongsheng opened the package with a smile, the fragrance of the scallion pancakes that was still hot spread, and Xu Qixian's eyes couldn't be taken off. The golden surface was dotted with green green onions, and the fragrance of oil was overflowing with the fragrance of green onions, which made him sniffle involuntarily, and then his stomach made a very cooperative "goo" sound.
