Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 5993
Qingshui Town, Zhangji Steamed Bun Shop.

At the end of the ugly hour, the sky had not yet dawned, and the rooster had not yet crowed, and the residents of the huge town fell into a deep sleep.

The stove in the backyard of Zhang Ji Baozi Shop was brightly lit.

Every day at this time, the shopkeeper Zhang Dawei would get up from his wife’s fragrant bed, rub his sleepy eyes, and come to the kitchen to knead the noodles, wake up the noodles, and mix the stuffing. start.

"Shopkeeper, the water for the dough is ready, can you see if it's hot enough?" A waiter brought a basin of water and asked Zhang Dawei.

Zhang Dawei didn't reach in with a hand to touch the temperature of the water, but felt it with the back of his hand.

"It's a bit overheated, give me time to dry half a stick of incense." He ordered, then turned his head and continued to sift the wheat flour in his hand with a fine sieve.

Zhang Ji's pastry has been well-known in Qingshui Town for a hundred years. From a thatched house with open-air tables and chairs, it has transformed into a shop with two floors of attics, private rooms in the lobby and a large kitchen in the backyard. It is Zhang Dawei's great grandfather, grandpa. , Dad, this generation of people worked hard from dawn to dusk, groping hard and summing up experience.

In Zhang Dawei's memory, except for the few days during the Chinese New Year, he can sleep in like other children. At other times, he would be called up by his father every day when he was ugly.

Dad kneads the dough, wakes it up, and mixes the ingredients. He has to watch and learn from the whole process.

The pastry made by Zhang's family is different from other breakfast shops in the town. Zhang's pastry is famous for its soft, white and tender buns.

This is a unique skill of the Zhang family, which is passed on from father to son, and from son to grandson. The family rules stipulate that daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law cannot learn it.

Therefore, these guys in the shop can only do some peripheral chores, and the core things cannot be learned. As the shopkeeper, Zhang Dawei does it himself.

No, he sifted the flour and was about to start kneading the dough.

The way of kneading dough cannot be seen by outsiders, so Zhang Dawei sent out the two guys in the kitchen.

"Ah Fu, go wash and chop the vegetables in the basket, soak the vermicelli in cold water, and let the mushrooms bloom."

"Don't move the meat, let me go."

"Gui, go prepare the steamer and firewood."

The two guys called A Fu and A Gui quietly pushed each other with their eyes, and finally A Gui stood up.

"Shopkeeper, there's a lot of work here, and it's about to open at the beginning of Mao, why don't I go and call that little black over?"

Ah Gui opened his mouth, and Ah Fu hurriedly followed: "The shopkeeper, that boy Xiao Hei said he was repaying the debt, but he ate more than anyone else, and his work was a mess. He broke three bowls and two bowls in a row for the past few days. It's just a plate, by the way, I even got a pot of vinegar on the guests yesterday, causing the proprietress to say a lot of good things to the guests, and she gave up the order..."

When mentioning the boy who ate the overlord's meal imprisoned in the firewood room, Zhang Dawei was furious.

"Then why dawdle? Go, call that kid to work!"

……

After Afu and Agui came in holding a candle, they couldn't help giggling when they saw Dabai's sleeping position.

Ah Fu stiffened his neck, "Don't talk nonsense, I sleep well..."

Agui smiled strangely and looked at Afu: "Don't pretend to be like me, everyone is a man, who doesn't know who?"

"Besides, there's nothing shameful about this kind of thing. Just save more money and wait until you marry a wife."

Ah Fu blushed, rushed to Dabai angrily, and kicked Dabai a few times.

"Xiao Hei, wake up, wake up!"

Dabai Yigulu sat up, his eyes were full of anger.

"Are you sick? Do you want to fight or what?"

He rubbed his eyes and asked angrily.

Even though it was a tiger falling in Pingyang, it was still a coward in front of the shopkeeper and the proprietress, otherwise he would be twisted and sent to the government by the two of them.

Faced with these two fellows, Dabai was not shy at all.

"The ghost is fighting with you? The shopkeeper told you to work in the kitchen!" Agui said.

In the past few days, everyone has fought quite a lot. Although two of them fight one, this kid was pressed to the ground and beaten.

But this kid has a lot of vigor and a rascal, obviously he was pushed to the ground and beat him up at this moment, he got up when he turned around, and when you were not paying attention, he grabbed you from behind and kicked you, specially It's very annoying to make dirty tricks.

"Get up quickly, the shopkeeper is waiting!" Agui added.

Dabai yawned and looked at the dark yard outside: "That's right, right? It's only midnight!"

"Isn't that the way to shop early? If you want to enjoy yourself, you have to pay off your debts!" ​​Agui said.

Dabai rolled his eyes.

The firewood room was so hot that he couldn't sleep at all in the first half of the night, and he finally fell asleep in the second half of the night.

Being called up to work before a dream is finished, these days are really hard, not so hard for cattle, horses and mules.

"What about people? Where did they all die?"

Suddenly, the shopkeeper Zhang Dawei's roar came from the kitchen.

The three boys in the firewood room were startled.

Agui hurried to the door and responded to the kitchen: "Shopkeeper, Xiao Hei is not happy..."

What?
The kitchen room was stunned for a moment, then footsteps came towards the firewood room mixed with shouting and cursing.

Dabai got up quickly, and rushed out while pulling out his shoes, "Ah Gui, you son of a bitch, let me remember!"

Dabai dropped a harsh word and ran out of the room.

Agui smiled triumphantly, brat, I told you to bully me yesterday!

In the yard, while arranging his clothes, Dabai said to Zhang Dawei with a smile on his face, "Shopkeeper, I got up as soon as I heard them calling me. Whatever the shopkeeper wants me to do, I just do what I'm told. Go up the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire , my little black brow doesn't even frown!"

Looking at Dabai's nodding and bowing appearance, Zhang Dawei's anger subsided a little.

"You're a smart kid, come with me!"

He turned around and walked back, followed by Dabai step by step, glanced at the thick and long rolling pin in Zhang Dawei's hand, and secretly ground his teeth.

You bastard, sooner or later I will be stronger than you, so I won't be able to beat you to death!

After entering the stove, Zhang Dawei asked Dabai to boil water in the pot. Zhang Dawei pointed to a stack of steamers taller than a person and said to Dabai, "First scrub these steamers, and then carry them to the hot water pot to preheat."

After giving the order, he turned around and went to the front of the two large vats, lifted the veil covering it to check the proofing of the dough inside, and when he had a good idea, he put the veil back on again, and came to the door of the kitchen and ordered loudly. Agui and Afu wash and chop vegetables.
