I'm a street kid, and my beautiful wife doesn't want a divorce!

Old Zhaotou took a sickle and cut ten catties of leeks and ten catties of cabbage in his own land, bundled them and threw them on Li Xia's cart.

"You can give me the money as you like, it all comes from the folks in the hometown."

Old Zhaotou waved his hands indifferently.

He originally disliked Li Xia, a street kid, but in the past few days, he found that this kid suddenly became nice to his wife.

His attitude towards Li Xia also changed slightly.

Selling steamed buns Although it's not a good idea, it's better than this street kid just sitting around all day.

"Uncle Zhao, I can't let you suffer a loss, so I'll give you the market price, which is seven cents per catty for leeks and three cents per catty for cabbage, a total of one yuan."

Li Xia counted a few cents, and they added up to exactly one dollar, and handed it to Old Zhaotou.

Old Zhaotou was stunned and took the money.

This guy was quite happy to give me the money, and he didn't let me suffer.

It seems that he sold The fish really made some money.

No wonder I can afford a donkey.

Aunt Wang, who lives next door to Li Xia, is the leader of the village’s gossip squad. She learned that night that Li Xia had made money selling fish. The next day, everyone in the village knew.

They were all surprised. The river in Shangrong Village is notoriously difficult to catch fish.

But Li Xia has the ability to catch fish, which is quite impressive.

"Okay, then Uncle Zhao will leave first. Li

Xia got on the donkey cart and said,"I may come to buy your vegetables tomorrow.""

After that, Li Xia drove the donkey back.

Old Zhaotou was stunned for a while, and then he realized what he was doing.

What?

Are you coming to buy tomorrow?

Does this guy really think he can sell the buns?

At the county market There are several experts in making steamed buns.

The steamed buns are made authentic and delicious.

Moreover, those experts have been selling steamed buns for many years.

Li Xia went to sell them in a hurry, and it was not a loss that he even lost his pants. After all , they are young people who lack social experience and are waiting for trouble.

Old Zhaotou picked up the hoe and continued to weed weeds.

……

Li Xia returned home and unloaded the bamboo.

After the two milk dumplings finished eating the candied haws on a stick, they were happy and contented, and came skipping over to help Li Xia.

Li Xia coaxed the two little guys into the house. The bamboo had burrs that would sting the hands, and he didn't want the two little guys to get hurt.

The handmade steamer made of natural bamboo can quickly evaporate the water vapor in the cage when steaming food, making the steamed food more delicious and sweeter.

It is also paint-free and wax-free, does not use any glue, and is environmentally friendly and healthy.

Li Xia brought tools such as hatchets, pliers, and steel wires, took a bamboo chair, sat in the middle of the yard, and started making cages.

The bamboo he chooses is very hard and tough. After removing the outer layer, it does not need to be roasted, which can save a lot of production time.

Li Xia used a hatchet to smoothen the bamboo joints, then cut the bamboo in the middle, inserted a wooden stick, and split the bamboo into two halves through the squeezing force of the wooden stick.

After the bamboo turned into bamboo strips, Li Xia began to polish the surface of the bamboo strips and then cut the bamboo strips into thinner bamboo slices.

The bamboo slices are rolled up into a circle, which is the outer frame of the cage.

Li Xia made a cage with a diameter of 86 centimeters based on the size of the iron pot on his kitchen stove.

A basket of this size can steam a hundred steamed buns per layer.

Next, Li Xia cut the bamboo boards and made the bottom of the cage...

The steps of making the cage have a specific order. They are particular about where they should be reinforced and where there should be no gaps.

However, these are not difficult for Li Xia.

It took Li Xia two and a half hours to complete the three-layer cage.

The three-layer steamer can steam 300 steamed buns.

Li Xia rinsed the basket with clean water and moved it into the kitchen.

Then start making buns.

Today I will make steamed buns with three fillings: pork filling, cabbage sauce meat filling, and leek and shrimp filling.

The old steamed bun maker once said that the secret to making delicious steamed buns lies in making them yourself.

If you don't do it well, you are afraid that you won't do it. Nothing can make you better.

For Li Xia, he has skipped this primary stage and surpassed the intermediate stage of making perfect. He is now in the advanced stage of striving for excellence.

The top stage is those master-level white case masters.

In his previous life, the top master Bai An who taught Li Xia how to make pastry told Li Xia.

Your experience and skills in making steamed buns are impeccable, and you are only one step away from the top.

This one step away is love.

When it comes to pastry, you have to put all your heart and soul into it.

At that time, Li Xia didn't want to jump in, be a Baozi for the rest of his life, and devote his whole youth to Baozi.

He would rather choose to be a tool man with no feelings.

Li Xia found two large clean stainless steel basins. In one of them, he added 3 liters of warm water, 18g of sugar, and 30g of yeast powder, stirred and melted...

The number of grams of sugar and yeast depends on the environment.

It has just entered spring and the temperature is not very high, so Li Xia chose the above proportion of yeast and warm water.

In another basin, put 12 pounds of flour and 120g of lard.

One pound of flour can make more than twenty buns, and 12 pounds of flour can make almost three hundred.

The purpose of adding lard is to make the steamed buns softer, whiter and smoother. Even if the buns are cold, they will not be hard.

In this era, no one would add lard to flour when making steamed buns. This is the experience gained by the steamed bun masters of later generations after decades of summarizing.

Based on this alone, the steamed buns made by Li Xia look better than other steamed buns.

Li Xia kneaded the oil and flour evenly, and at the same time added the yeast water in another basin, stirring while adding... Knead the dough into a ball until the basin is bare, sprinkle flour on the surface of the chopping board, and take the dough out On the chopping board, knead until it becomes"glossy".

Only with a smooth surface can all the ingredients be fully blended.

These are just basic skills, and Li Xia's basic skills are naturally impeccable.

The movements are clean and beautiful, without any sloppy or unnecessary movements.

While waiting for the dough to rise, Li Xia started to prepare the filling...

When the two milk dumplings heard the movement in the kitchen, they immediately dropped the toys in their hands like puppies and ran into the kitchen.

The two little guys saw Li Xia chopping stuffing and asked curiously:

"Dad, what are you making delicious food?~！"

"Daddy~! Nuannuan wants to eat~! Ah woo~！"
