Xiaoxiao and Ning Erlang rushed to the kitchen almost at the same time. The burritos left in the morning were naturally gone, and the meat placed in the basket on the hanging beam was also missing. Ning Erlang's eyes turned red. He knew that it was too embarrassing for a man to eat like this. , but he was angry.

"Why, why should they?"

Mrs. Song couldn't answer. In the afternoon, Second Aunt Ning came over. What she said was that after the separation of the family, she didn't have her parents in her heart. She ate meat by herself and didn't even remember to give soup to her parents. The more she talked, the more she said. The more unpleasant the words were, the more he ran away with the meat in his arms after he finished speaking. She and the head of the house didn't stop him, and it was hard to catch up and get him back.

At this moment, even the most stable Ning Dalang didn't say anything. Mrs. Song looked at the children who were dusty when they returned and were smiling just a moment ago. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She also regretted it in her heart. If she had known it earlier, she might as well have let the children have enough to eat yesterday.

Different from the guilt of Ning Fengnian and his wife and the anger of Ning Erlang, Xiaoxiao was still calm. It should be said that she had expected this. Turning around the pile of firewood, she turned her palm over, took out the inventory from the space, and said lightly: "Fortunately, I hid a little piece.”

Ningjiro:......

When the second aunt came to visit, it was like locusts passing through the border. The reason why she was able to leave a steamed bun was because she could tell at a glance that it was mixed with chaff, so the old man didn't hesitate to ask for it. It's a miracle that my sister can hide so much.

Xiaoxiao washed her hands, picked up the kitchen knife and said to Mrs. Song, "Mom, I want to make steamed buns for dinner."

She emphasized specifically: "Meat buns."

If she made this request before Second Aunt Ning came, it would only result in a brain breakdown, but neither Song nor Ning Fengnian could say no to the child now.

In order to avoid being distressed, one of the couple went back to the house to recuperate and weave bamboo baskets, while the other went to the vegetable field to tend the green vegetables and Chinese cabbage that had grown seedlings. Ning Dalang followed over and whispered to his mother about today's harvest. Excluding those who bought jars, they brought back a total of 258 cash today, which was as much as Ning Dalang earned from helping to build a house next door.

The family now has a total of 530 copper coins. Although it is not much, compared to the time when the family was first separated, Mrs. Song still feels that she has seen hope, but she really can't laugh now. She pushed her eldest son: " Go check on your sister and see if she wants to help."

How could Xiaoxiao not be able to do something like cooking, but kneading dough is a laborious task, and she is still young and not strong enough, so she is instructing her second brother to do it for her.

Ning Erlang was angry and couldn't say anything to his family, so he took advantage of the dough to vent his anger. However, when he was about to add chaff to the dough, Xiaoxiao blocked his hand: "We won't add this stuff."

Ning Erlang was a little hesitant, but he heard her say: "Why should the old man eat our meat, but we ourselves have to eat the chaff?"

Ning Erlang gritted his teeth and tied up the bag containing the chaff again.

My sister is right, listen to your sister and you will have meat to eat!

Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction: Children can be taught. She wasn't actually that angry, but she was just pretending to be aggrieved and sad. In this way, no matter how much meat was put in the buns, her parents would be embarrassed to talk about her.

Knead the flour mixed with water into a dough, add the old noodles and put it on the side of the pot to cover and wait for fermentation. Xiaoxiao starts to make the meat filling. The meat filling has two flavors, one is seasoned with onion, ginger and garlic, and the other is not. For garlic, use only a little green onion juice to remove the fishy smell, mix well and place separately in two large bowls.

When the dough has doubled in size, take it out and knead it to create air bubbles. Ning Dalang helps divide the dough into small balls and roll them into dough. Xiaoxiao then takes over and continues to stuff the dough. Each piece of dough is filled with fillings. meat, and then use the nimble fingers to lift the dough and twist it, and the bun with perfect folds is ready.

Don't rush to put the kneaded buns into the pot. While the water is boiling, put the raw buns in a ventilated place to air and set. It only takes a moment, then put them in the steamer and cover them for the second fermentation. She waited until the buns swelled significantly before she started steaming them.

Put the pot in cold water over medium to low heat. After about half an hour, which is the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the fragrant white and plump buns will be out of the pot. She selected the buns specially made for Rong Yan and the others from the steamer and sent them over herself. .
