Chapter 184: Scallion Oil Flower Rolls

The scallions sent by the uncle downstairs were really good.

The scallion stalks were fresh and tender, they were local red-headed small scallions, the scallion heads were purple-red, and there was still some soil on the white whiskers, looking not very clean.

But that water-filled energy, Zhai Xiaofeng didn't want to use force when washing vegetables.

But thinking of the scallion oil rice her son wanted to eat, she felt a bit sad: the child was too sensible, knowing the family was not good, he never said he wanted to eat anything expensive.

But the family status was here, Zhai Xiaofeng didn't force her son to eat well, just tried her best to make the food taste better.

She took out the clay pot at home, washed a box of rice, and added some oil and salt to mix well.

Then she put the discounted vegetables just bought from the supermarket back into the refrigerator, leaving only the two bundles of scallions.

Two jin of scallions was quite a lot, she carefully took three out, wrapped the rest and put them in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator, and then cut off the scallion whites, also wrapped them well, leaving them for stir-frying tomorrow.

Then she cut the green scallion stalks into scallion flowers—this taste was too unique, too stimulating, and she felt it was rushing to her head when cutting.

Zhai Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a bit lost—

Because life was bitter, even the scallions she used for buns every day were just ordinary scallions from the vegetable market.

The ones given by the uncle downstairs, one look and you knew they were premium vegetables, the difference in taste was too big.

She couldn't help but make up her mind: wait until she was a little more well-off, she would be extravagant once a week, and choose some vegetables with good appearance! At least, she had to buy such scallions! The ones she bought herself might be too cheap.

She was used to doing housework, her movements were very agile, now she put the clay pot on the stove to start cooking rice, and then cut some ginger, added some salt and scallion flowers and mixed well.

Seeing that the rice was almost cooked, she started a fire in another stove, and then poured the hot oil into the small bowl of scallion flowers.

In an instant, a scallion fragrance burst out in this narrow kitchen, and the whole attic was filled with an unprecedented fragrance!

This fragrance was so unique and so tempting, compared to this taste, the buns she made every day seemed like garbage.

Zhai Xiaofeng was stunned.

Even Xuanxuan couldn't help but run to the kitchen, rubbing his belly and saying: "Mom, so fragrant!"

She just came back to her senses.

While responding with a smile, she hurriedly poured the scallion flower hot oil into the rice again. Until the clay pot lid was covered again to simmer, Zhai Xiaofeng took a deep breath:

"Xuanxuan, this is the scallion given by Uncle Cao downstairs, if you meet Uncle Cao tomorrow morning, you must help Mom say thank you."

Xuanxuan nodded repeatedly, but his eyes were shining, and his attention was not on the conversation at all.

Instead, he asked again: "Mom, when can we eat?"

The rice was cooked, now it was just simmering the scallion fragrance in. Zhai Xiaofeng estimated the time: "You go tidy up the dining table first, it will be ready soon."

A clay pot with a capacity of 1000 ml simmered a full bowl of rice.

The emerald green and slightly burnt yellow scallion flowers were mixed with the crystal clear white rice. Opening the lid, the sweetness of the rice and the unique taste of the scallion flowers instantly stirred.

The sound of opening windows rang out downstairs.

In a place Zhai Xiaofeng didn't know, Uncle Grass Carp was sitting in the restaurant with a rice bowl and leftovers, but his nose was leaning towards the window on the side.

So fragrant.

Such a rich scallion taste.

He instantly remembered the two jin of water-filled small scallions he gave away, which cost more than a hundred yuan together!

Now thinking about it, if he had known he would be scolded when he came back, why spend money to buy vegetables?

Looking at the leftovers in front of him heated by the microwave, he instantly felt hungry and had no appetite.

The wife who was still angry just now also curiously leaned to the window, clearly knowing that nothing could be seen outside, but still subconsciously looked:

"Whose house is cooking, so fragrant! In the middle of the night..."

He rubbed his belly, for some reason, he seemed a bit hungry too.

But looking at the simple food heated by Uncle Grass Carp on the table, he instantly lost his appetite again.

Zhai Xiaofeng and Xuanxuan had already taken spoons and swallowed the fragrant scallion oil rice in one bite.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow!"

Xuanxuan instantly widened his eyes: "Mom, so delicious, can we continue to eat tomorrow?"

Zhai Xiaofeng could taste it even if she was lost, this was definitely not her cooking skill! It was the scallions given by the uncle downstairs that were good. She didn't know where they were bought, if she used such scallions to make buns...

Forget it, forget it, this kind of premium vegetable must be very expensive, not suitable for her who sets up a stall to do business.

Well, it's really delicious, eat another bite!

However, the more he ate, the more urgent Xuanxuan was to get the answer: "Mom, can we continue to eat this tomorrow? It's really delicious."

Xuanxuan was usually sensible and rarely made such an urgent request. Not to mention just eating a simple scallion oil rice, even if it was something more expensive, Zhai Xiaofeng couldn't bear to refuse.

She thought for a while: "Mom has to set up a stall in the morning, no time to cook for you. Otherwise, Mom will wrap some scallion oil flower rolls, steam them together tomorrow, you take them to eat, okay?"

"Okay, okay!"

Their breakfast was always buns, now that they could change the taste, how could Xuanxuan disagree?

The mother and son buried their heads in eating, a full big pot, the two people with small appetites actually scraped the rice inside clean.

Until the last grain of rice was sent into the mouth, Xuanxuan put the spoon back into the clay pot with disappointment.

Zhai Xiaofeng hesitated once, but couldn't help asking: "Son, are you full?"

Xuanxuan rubbed his protruding belly: "Mom, I should be full."

It was just that the stomach was full, but the mouth wasn't.

Coincidentally, Zhai Xiaofeng had the same feeling.

However, in the middle of the night, eating simmered rice was not easy to digest, so she had to suppress the urge to cook another bowl.

Looking at the time again: "Is the homework finished? If finished, hurry up and rest."

The scallion fragrance in the attic gradually dissipated, and the families downstairs all added meals tonight without exception.

3:30 in the morning.

Zhai Xiaofeng got up quietly, after simple washing, she started kneading the dough, cutting vegetables and adjusting the stuffing.

The dough that had been fermented in advance was as fluffy as a honeycomb, which was the best feel now. In fact, when it came to wrapping buns and adjusting stuffing, Zhai Xiaofeng was not the most outstanding. But her dough was fermented well, fluffy and soft, and she could always grasp the best taste.

Many people didn't like to eat the bun skin when eating buns, but only hers, it was because of the bun skin soaked in vegetable juice that they bought it.

Because of this good skill of fermenting dough, the reputation of the steamed buns she sold every evening was much better than selling buns.

After she finished wrapping the buns at five o'clock, looking at the large dough left, she turned and washed the two jin of scallions from yesterday and cut them into scallion flowers.

Thirteen spices plus salt were adjusted and mixed with scallion flowers, hot oil was poured on, and then directly spread on the dough that had just been brushed with oil, rolled, cut, pressed with chopsticks...

In the quiet attic kitchen, the large cannon-style range hood made a booming sound.

The familiar bun smell permeated again, and in the end, it was replaced by the rich and pungent scallion fragrance... ===== CHAPTER 185 =====
