Chapter 7 Steamed Mantou

After receiving the original owner's memory, Yu Qiu's first thing he did was actually to swear and never be soft-hearted.

Because the clear pictures in memory challenge the bottom line of others' human nature.

The original owner's biological mother was strangled to death in front of him. He could not resist and could only recognize his enemy as his mother.

Uncle Zhong, the old servant who took care of him, kept reminding him to pretend to be stupid, be foolish, and hide his weakness.

However, the original owner of the child's nature does not understand why he does this.

After his first year of elementary school, in order to gain the appreciation of his father and teacher, he received more supplies of firewood, charcoal and clothes. During the teacher's assessment, he recited the Analects of Confucius throughout the article, surpassing other brothers, which resulted in his old servants and several close maids being beaten to death.

It was that day that the original owner understood what kind of dark world he was in, and at this point he embarked on a road of struggle to survive.

In the next eight years, he had never known how many times he had framed him, but he had avoided him almost. Gradually, he had become more skillful in dealing with these conspiracies and tricks, and even he was used to using conspiracies to resolve crises or harm others, until the woman appeared and deceived him with emotion.

In fact, he had many opportunities to turn the tables and eliminate those who dealt with him for the position of head of the family. However, it was because he was too soft and could not bear to put others to death that he ended up in a defeat and fled everywhere to survive. The inhuman life of escape for more than a year finally caused him to collapse and was possessed by Yu Qiu, who had an accident in his later generations.

Now, facing a group of women, children and children facing survival problems, Yu Qiu, who has integrated the memories of the two, found that he still can't stand his heart.

"Plop."

It wasn't even as Yu Qiu thought about how to solve the problems of these widows and children! Zhang Xier rolled on her knees and knelt down to the big guy outside the door.

"It's all my fault. It's because I was fascinated by men, which made everyone borrow too much grain. But don't worry, even if I die of fatigue in the fields this year, I will have more food to help everyone make up for the gap that has been returned to the Lu family. If you want to die, just die alone!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qiu looked at the thin and black widow in front of him with some surprise. Unexpectedly, she was so stingy that she had such a kind heart that she dared to sacrifice her life for these people in the village. It should be said that she dared to sacrifice her life for her man who had known her for less than half a month.

"Xi'er, how can we all bear to watch you die alone? The whole village has finally survived until now. If we want to die, we will die together, but we cannot be..."

When Zhao Qiniang looked at Yu Qiu, he guessed what she was going to say next, and hurriedly interrupted her, "Okay, no one of you needs to die. Even if the method I said before is unreliable, I have other ways to help you solve the problem."

If he didn't say that he was Chou Yin and Mao at this time, Zhao Qiniang would probably call on everyone to drive him out of the village. There was even something even more terrifying than being driven out of the village, that was, forcing him to be a cattle and a horse in the village, serving everyone...

"What method?" Zhang Xier was naturally unwilling to give up to be able to stay Yu Qiu, so she wiped her tears first.

"Of course, the solution is to make these wheat seeds together, grind the wheat into flour, and I will make you delicious food, and you will know what method I can solve the problem." Yu Qiu tried his best to make himself look confident.

However, when he heard his words, everyone fell into pieces again.

Yu Qiu is indeed a big liar. It’s time for him to eat.

"God! Just show your compassion! We just want to raise our children peacefully..."

In later business markets, Yu Qiu rarely told the truth to others. It felt bad to tell others in person that he was lying in person for the first time, but reality told him that people are often more willing to listen to lies.

"You, why are you lying to us again?" Zhang Xier said helplessly. The first time she felt that picking Yu Qiu back from the Mingshui River was a huge mistake.

"What does 're again' mean? I just lied to you once, no, I just lied to the Lu family once, and even told you on my own initiative that I am very simple, you should not look at me with such a wrong look." Yu Qiu said with an innocent look on his face.

Zhang Xier believed this. Of course she didn't know that although Yu Qiu didn't say much to her during the half month of living in the village, at least 80% of them were lies.

"Then what do you want to grind flour?" Zhao Qiniang is not a young widow like Zhang Xier. She is old and naturally has experienced more things. She will not easily believe Yu Qiu's words. After wiping her tears, she questioned Yu Qiu.

"Did you see these things? This is what I have refined with the secret recipe of the master. If it is added to the flour, the pasta will become extremely delicious, and it is even better than the best pasta you have ever eaten in your life."

When Yu Qiu said this, his tone was extremely tempting, which immediately made the children saliva. However, adults like Zhao Qiniang were unmoved and looked disbelief.

Zhang Xier, with a dull eyes, looked disappointed and desperate, "As long as you're still trying to scammers with the things you pulled out of the stove ashes to eat. I'm blind, I'll pick you up from Mingshui, and you'll go! I don't want to see you again."

Yu Qiu complained in his heart depressedly, "Telling the truth is indeed more difficult to accept than telling lies."

In this situation, he had to raise his voice three times and then said, "You stupid women are all stubborn. Haven't you ever thought about selling the food I made to pay for and buying more white flour. In this way, we can quickly earn all the white flour we need to return to the Lu family. Why do we have to work hard to grow for a year?"

"Cook food and sell it?"

These women who have never bought things several times in their lifetime cannot imagine what it would be like to do business and sell things. However, they know that this may be a way, because in this kind of chaos, food is the best to sell. Not to mention making big money, they usually don’t lose money, and there is no problem with small profits.

Seeing a group of women and children thinking about something, Yu Qiu said again, "The food I made is called steamed buns. Unlike the dead bread you have eaten in the past, it is a very fluffy, soft and slightly sweet food. A little bit of flour can make a big one."

"Steamed bun?"

"Uh, you can also call it steamed buns or sesame cakes." Seeing that everyone didn't know the name, Yu Qiu explained to everyone again.

In ancient times, you should not expect the common people in the northern countryside to understand the names of various foods that southerners call. Moreover, the steamed buns invented by Zhuge Wuhou during the Three Kingdoms period were steamed with pork and mutton. This kind of steamed bun was called buns in later generations.

"Come on, everyone will follow my command. Now I will go grind noodles quickly. When you see the real thing, you will believe it."

There are many things that men and women can do with half-spokenness, such as Yu Qiu advises everyone to grind noodles and steam buns.

Of course, it is not so easy to eat delicious steamed buns. The stone mill in the village is not so easy to use. The flour grinding is still relatively rough, and it takes two or even three repeated grindings. After that, you have to go through fine sieves three or four times to get the finest flour used to make steamed buns.

When he added water and alkaline crystals and put the dough into the pottery basin, the sound of rumbling in the children's stomachs began to rise and fall. The smell of flour alone aroused the children's appetite. However, when Yu Qiu stopped after he finished the dough, the children immediately stopped and shouted that he would work as soon as possible.
