Chapter 24 Aunt Shen
After stewing the meat, Xu Qinghe went inside to prepare to knead dough and make pancakes.
Before kneading, I poked the dough with my hand and saw that it became soft before taking it out of the bowl.
Set aside a piece of dough in a bowl, and knead the rest as you like. Since there is no yeast at this point, the piece of dough that Xu Qinghe set aside is for use as a starter.
After preparing the starter dough, Xu Qinghe began kneading and rolling out the dough. Since it was for roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), the dough didn't need to be too big; about the size of the palm of her hand would suffice.
Xu Qinghe rolled out a lot of dough in no time, because in addition to making roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), it could also be eaten as a staple food, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to make a staple food for every meal.
If she has time after coming down from the mountain tomorrow, she'd like to steam some buns.
Seeing that there were more and more dough cakes on the bamboo tray, Xu Qinghe stopped rolling them out, gently patted the dough on her hands, and walked out.
Then you can see that someone has added a little more wood to the stove, and it's burning just right.
Xu Qinghe picked up a spoon from the side, lifted the lid of the pot and stirred it. Seeing that the meat was thoroughly cooked, she then took the iron pot off the stove.
Then she placed the pancake pan on it. It was a pan she bought at the grocery store, a pan for three people, with a flat bottom and not very big, with handles on both sides.
As soon as the pot was placed on the stove, Xu Qinghe poured in the oil. After pouring the oil, she quickly went into the house and came out a short while later carrying a steamer basket.
Place the steamer basket on the stool next to you and start putting the pancakes in one by one. Because the pan is not very big, it can only hold three pancakes.
Even so, it did not stop Xu Qinghe's enthusiasm, and in no time a basket of pancakes was baked by her.
As soon as the pancakes were baked, the yard was filled with their delicious aroma, which was very tempting.
The two children ran to Xu Qinghe's side early and pestered her for food.
Xu Qinghe looked at the two people clinging to her legs and acting coquettishly, and without hesitation, she agreed, "Okay, let's go wash our hands first."
A flatbread, three pieces of meat, and an egg, all finely chopped. Cut the flatbread in half, put the chopped meat inside, and a fragrant roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) is ready.
After placing one on each of the two children's plates, Xu Qinghe asked Shen Zhi, who was still working on the dish, "Do you want some?"
Shen Zhigang had just finished eating not long ago. Even though the food smelled delicious, he restrained himself, saying, "I'll eat after I'm done with my work." He didn't want to waste food if he wasn't hungry.
Xu Qinghe didn't know what he was thinking, and seeing that Shen Zhi wasn't eating, she didn't try to persuade him anymore.
Instead, she scooped out a large spoonful of meat and made three roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwiches). As she made them, she asked Shen Zhi, "I'd like to send a few to Auntie later, are three enough?"
Shen Zhi glanced at the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in Xu Qinghe's hand and said calmly, "That's enough."
After hearing this, Xu Qinghe stopped making it, put the meat sandwich into a plate, covered the plate with a cloth, and was about to take it to Aunt Shen.
Unfortunately, she didn't know the way to Aunt Shen's house, so she could only call Shen Chengyue to come with her.
Although Shen Chengyue arrived in Shenjia Village not long before her, he knew every household inside and out. This was largely thanks to the abuse he suffered at the hands of his sister-in-law, who forced him to hide outside every day, making him a household name.
Shen Chengyue didn't refuse after hearing this, and while eating a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), he led Xu Qinghe towards Shen Da Niang's house.
As for Shen Chengchuan, he was handed over to Shen Zhi because he didn't want to take a long journey.
When the two arrived at Aunt Shen's house, Aunt Shen was sitting in the yard sewing shoe soles. She was a little surprised to see Xu Qinghe come over.
But she still greeted him warmly, "Second son's wife, what brings you here? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm feeling better. I just didn't know your house, so I asked Chengyue to come and show me the way."
Aunt Shen was even happier to hear that, "It's good that you know the way! I should have had Chengyue bring you here sooner."
"Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll go make you something right away. It's your first time visiting, you should stay and have a bite." With that, she went to get busy.
Xu Qinghe quickly grabbed her arm and explained, "We ate here, you don't need to bother."
"I made some fresh food for the kids and thought I'd share some with you."
At this moment, Aunt Shen only thought that Xu Qinghe had brought some wild vegetable scraps or something, and didn't think much of it. When she heard this, she immediately became happy, "Why don't you keep them for yourself? Why are you so thoughtful?"
Xu Qinghe smiled and said, "This shouldn't be. You and my sister-in-law helped me a lot yesterday, and I remember it all." As she spoke, she lifted the cloth off the plate.
When Aunt Shen saw what was on Xu Qinghe's plate, her eyes widened immediately. "White flour pancakes?"
"That won't do, that won't do. These are such precious things, you should save them for the two little ones." She pointed at Shen Chengyue as she spoke.
Xu Qinghe said frankly, "They both ate, they ate their way here."
Shen Chengyue stood beside Xu Qinghe and nodded solemnly.
Even so, Aunt Shen still didn't want it. Just then, two children suddenly ran in through the door.
Not only was she dressed in thin clothes, but she was also pitifully thin, about the same size as when she first met Shen Chengyue and his companion.
"Who are these two?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Shen quickly explained, "These are your eldest brother and sister-in-law's children, Jianjian and Kangkang."
Xu Qinghe muttered subconsciously, "Healthy?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Aunt Shen's eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Yes, just for good luck."
Xu Qinghe: "That's a good name." Then she called to the two little ones, "Jiankangkang, come here quickly, look what delicious food your auntie has in her hands."
Perhaps because Xu Qinghe's words were too gentle, the two children hesitated for a moment before running over. Seeing this, Xu Qinghe quickly handed them the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) she was holding.
The two children glanced at Aunt Shen instinctively but didn't dare to take it. Seeing their pitiful eyes, Xu Qinghe gently nudged Aunt Shen and pleaded, "Just let the children have one!"
Seeing how skin and bones the two children were, Aunt Shen finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Aunt Shen agreed, the two children immediately stretched out their dark hands, each took one, and wolfed it down into their mouths.
Seeing this, Aunt Shen's eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly wiped them away when Xu Qinghe wasn't looking.
Xu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they had eaten; otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing if the food hadn't been delivered.
Just then, Xu Qinghe suddenly remembered Sister-in-law Shen and subconsciously asked, "Where are my brother and sister-in-law?"
Looking at Xu Qinghe's confused eyes, Aunt Shen knew that Shen Zhi had not told her about her family's situation.
"Your sister-in-law went to the mountains with Ping An to dig for wild vegetables, and your older brother is lying in the house."
"Wait a moment, I'll wake him up and have him say hello to you." With that, she walked towards the side room.
She gently pushed open the door to the side room and went inside. Then she heard Aunt Shen's voice, "Eldest son, eldest son, wake up! Shen Zhi's wife is here. Get up and say hello." After a while, Aunt Shen came out and beckoned Xu Qinghe to come into the room.
Xu Qinghe then bent down and entered the side room, only to find that the side room was dark and had no windows, and was filled with the smell of herbs.
