Chapter 202 202. Scallion rolls
The green onions given by the uncle downstairs are really good.
The onion tube is fresh and tender, it is a local red-headed spring onion, the onion head is purple-red, and the white whiskers are still stained with a little dirt, which makes it look unclean.
But it was so refreshing that Xiao Feng was reluctant to use force when washing vegetables.
But when I think of the scallion oil rice that my son is going to eat, I feel a little sad: the child is too sensible, knows that the family is not good, and never asks for expensive food.
But given the family situation, Xiao Feng did not blindly want his son to eat and drink well. He just tried his best to make the food better and more delicious.
She took out the casserole at home, washed a box of rice, added some oil and salt to it, and mixed it well.
Then I put the discounted vegetables I just bought from the supermarket back into the refrigerator, leaving only the two handfuls of green onions.
Two kilograms of green onions is quite a lot. She carefully took out three of them, wrapped the rest and put them in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator. Then she cut off the green onions and wrapped them in the same way, saving them for cooking tomorrow.
Cut the green onion tubes into chopped green onions - the taste is so unique and exciting that it feels a little punchy when you cut it.
Xiao Feng couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed—
Because life was hard, even the green onions she used to make buns every day were just ordinary green onions from the vegetable market.
The uncle downstairs gave it to me, and I could tell at a glance that it was a high-quality dish. The difference in taste was also huge.
She couldn't help but secretly make up her mind: when she is a little more affluent, she will have some luxury once a week and choose some dishes that are in good condition. At the very least, you have to buy onions like this! The ones you buy yourself are probably too cheap.
She was used to doing housework, so she moved very quickly. Now she put the casserole on the stove and started cooking. She also chopped some ginger, added some salt and chopped green onion, and mixed it well.
Seeing that the rice was almost cooked, I heated a pot on another stove and poured the hot oil into a small bowl with chopped green onions.
In an instant, a scent of onion burst out in the narrow kitchen, and the entire attic was filled with an unprecedented aroma!
This fragrance is so unique and alluring. Compared with this smell, the buns I make every day are like garbage.
Xiao Feng was stunned.
Even Xuanxuan couldn't help but run to the kitchen. At this moment, she touched her belly and said, "Mom, it smells so good!"
She just came back to her senses.
While responding with a smile on his face, he quickly poured the hot green onion oil into the rice again. It wasn't until the lid of the casserole was put back on for simmering that Xiao Feng took a deep breath:
“Xuanxuan, these are the green onions given by Grandpa Cao downstairs. I encountered them tomorrow morning. You have to say thank you to my mother.”
Xuanxuan nodded hurriedly, but at the moment his eyes were bright and his attention was not on the conversation at all.
Instead, he asked again: "Mom, when can I eat it?"
The rice is already cooked, now it’s just a matter of simmering the onions in. Xiao Feng estimated the time: "You go and clear the dining table first, it will be ready soon."
A casserole with a capacity of 1,000 ml is used to simmer a full bowl of rice.
The emerald green and slightly burnt scallions are mixed with the crystal white rice. When you open the lid, the sweetness of the rice and the unique taste of the scallions are instantly exciting.
There was the sound of a window being opened downstairs.
Unknown to Xiao Feng, Uncle Grass Carp was sitting in the restaurant holding a rice bowl and leftovers, his nose leaning towards the window nearby.
It smells so good.
What a strong onion flavor.
He instantly remembered the two kilograms of juicy green onions that he gave away, which together cost more than 100 yuan!
Now think about it, if I had known that I would be scolded when I came back, why would I have spent money on food?
The daughter-in-law, who was still angry just now, also curiously went to the window. She knew that nothing could be seen outside, but she still subconsciously took a look:
"Who cooks here? Why does it smell so good! It's so late at night..." She touched her stomach. For some reason, she seemed a little hungry.
But when he looked at the simple meal on the table that Uncle Grass Carp had heated in the microwave, he instantly lost his appetite.
Xiao Feng and Xuan Xuan were already holding spoons, and swallowed the fragrant scallion oil rice in one bite.
“(⊙o⊙)Wow!”
Xuanxuan's eyes suddenly widened: "Mom, it's delicious. Can we continue eating it tomorrow?"
Xiao Feng can still eat it no matter how frustrated he is. This is definitely not his cooking skills! The green onions given by the uncle downstairs are good. I don’t know where I bought it. If I use this green onion to make steamed buns...
Forget it, this kind of fine food must be very expensive and not suitable for her stall business.
Hmm, it’s really delicious. Take another bite!
However, the more he ate, the more Xuanxuan became more eager to get the answer: "Mom, can you continue eating this tomorrow? It's really delicious."
Xuan Xuan is usually sensible and rarely makes such urgent requests. Let alone a simple scallion rice, Xiao Feng is not willing to refuse no matter how expensive it is.
She thought for a while: "Mom has to go out to the stall in the morning and doesn't have time to cook for you. Otherwise, I'll make some scallion rolls later and steam them together tomorrow. Can you take them and eat them?"
“Hurrah, hooray!”
Their breakfast has always been steamed buns, but now that they can change the taste, how can Xuanxuan disagree?
The mother and son were busy cooking, filling a large pot with rice. Even though they had small appetites, they scraped all the rice in it.
Until the last grain of rice was brought into his mouth, Xuanxuan put the spoon back into the casserole in despair.
Xiao Feng hesitated once, but couldn't help but ask: "Son, are you full?"
Xuanxuan touched her bulging belly and said, "Mom, I should be full."
It means that the stomach is full but the mouth is not full.
Coincidentally, Xiao Feng feels the same way.
But it was late at night, and stewed rice was not easy to digest, so she had no choice but to suppress the urge to cook another bowl.
Look at the time again: "Have you finished your homework? When you're done, get ready to take a rest."
The scent of onions in the attic gradually dissipated, and several families downstairs all had extra meals tonight.
It’s half past three in the morning.
Xiao Feng got up quietly, washed briefly, and then started to knead the dough, cut vegetables and mix the stuffing.
The noodles that have been made in advance are as fluffy as honeycomb, which is the best texture nowadays. In fact, Xiao Feng is not the best at making steamed buns and adjusting the fillings. But her facial hair is good, soft and fluffy, and she can always master the best taste.
Many people don’t like the dough when eating steamed buns, but hers is the only one who buys them because of the dough that’s soaked in vegetable juices.
Because of his skill in making dough, Xiao Feng’s reputation for selling steamed buns every evening is much better than selling steamed buns.
At five o'clock, after he had wrapped all the buns, he looked at the remaining large ball of dough, turned around and washed and chopped the two kilograms of green onions from yesterday.
Mix thirteen spices with salt and mix well with chopped green onion, pour hot oil on it, then spread it directly on the dough that has just been brushed with oil, roll it up, cut everything, and press it with chopsticks...
In the quiet attic kitchen, the large-barrel range hood made a roaring sound.
The familiar smell of steamed buns filled the air once again, and at the end, it was replaced by the rich and tangy aroma of green onions...
You can use more or less green onions to make flower rolls. Xiao Feng is destined to embark on a road of no return...
There will be more later.
