Returning from the hike this morning, I saw my neighbor's aunt carrying a small bench and sitting downstairs, holding in her hand a half-rolled horn-poked cake wrapped in green lettuce and shallots. The bread was a centimeter thick, the surface was golden, shining with oil, the golden cake, the green vegetables, layer by layer, rolled together in a staggered manner, very beautiful. The fragrance of the dish, the sweetness of the flour, and the unique sauce of soybean sauce blended together, impacting my taste buds, and my mouth was immediately full of excitement.
The aunt opened her mouth and shoved the whole bread roll horn head into her mouth, "clicking" a crisp sound, the horn head of the cake roll remained in the mouth, and the section of the cake roll oozed a green juice. The aunt chewed heavily, and sweetly sniffed a few times, and her throat squirmed and swallowed. I also quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva that came out.
"Auntie, your baked bread is so good!" I praised.
"I didn't burn it, I bought it, I don't have this technology." The aunt said while eating with relish, "This cake seller is at the north gate of the market, and when it is finished, people will leave." ”
My aunt's words ticked off the worm in my stomach: "I'm going to buy two too." "Following my aunt's instructions, I found the pancake stall.
On the board are large noodles, and a couple in their thirties are busy.
"Auntie, how many loaves of bread do you want?" The hostess greeted her warmly as she rolled out the cake.
"I want two dead breads."
"Auntie, you'll have to wait. Dead dough cakes have to be burned, and if they are left for a long time, it is not good for appetite. So someone bought it, and we were branding it. How long the dough cake is left is also a matter of steaming. The hostess explained.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
I carefully looked at this small shop, a twenty-square-meter cottage with three round curtain-like electric cake bells on the north and south walls, and the white heat was bubbling at the moment. There was a row of tables at the door, blocking the door tightly.
On the table were long boards, and on the boards were large potions. The boss took a large piece of noodles from the large dough jar under the table and rubbed it a few times on the board, and the soft dough became a long strip.
Only to see his left hand lightly pressing the noodles, his right hand grasping one end, twisting hard, a large agent came out, and the trend was thrown into the weighing pan, no more and no less. True to that saying, the hand is the ruler eye is the scale, and the elbow is the fixed star.
After a while, rows of rounding agents were piled up in front of him. That movement is skillful and sharp, and each agent is the same size. I secretly admired in my heart, this hand is really accurate! This technology is amazing!
The lady boss took a potion, gently pressed the palm of her left hand, put the rolling pin in the middle of the dough, rolled it back and forth twice, and before I could see clearly, a long twenty-centimeter beef tongue cake was rolled out.
With a gentle turn of her left hand, the ox-tongue cake came sideways, and then quickly took a little oil from the small basin on the side, quickly smeared it on the cake, and then folded the cake in half, rolled it twice with a rolling pin, and the ox-tongue cake returned to its original length. Roll the rolling pin one roll and one pick, turn around, lift the lid of the pot, send it, and put the cake into the pot. Turn around and roll out the next one. This action is done in one go, really skillful.
Curious, I asked, "How long have you been in the flapjack business?" ”
"Ten years. Our main store is in Yue Jia Yuan, selling over there in the evening and selling here in the morning. The hostess turned sharply as she talked to me, whirled in front of the six electric cake bells, and turned the cake over.
The lady boss told me that the farm work in the field was not busy now, and the couple got up at two o'clock in the morning and made noodles. Sell three bags of noodles every morning. During the busy season of farming, the demand is high, and I get up at twelve o'clock at night to meet noodles. Wholesale cakes come early, they have to get up early.
At this time, people kept coming to buy cakes, and the boss helped customers pack bags while making medicine. A bunch of people gathered in front of the cake stand.
The hostess rolled out the cakes and flapjacks sharply, and from time to time greeted the customers and told me that these people were old customers. Her bread noodles are good, the oil is good, and every day it runs out before seven o'clock, and the bread is sold out.
The lady boss also told me that the three-story store building they bought in Yue Jiayuan was the result of the couple's flapjacks, and the old man in the family did not add a penny, and his face was full of happiness and pride.
I took the cake handed over by my boss and waved goodbye to the couple. May this hard-working couple live happier and happier lives.
