Squirrel nodded. Fangzheng no longer held any hope that the squirrel could understand him. The little guy had indeed eaten too much, so Fangzheng couldn't give him a complete bean bun. If he did that, the fellow would most likely waste it. Therefore, Fangzheng found a small knife and scraped off some bean buns before stuffing them into the squirrel's mouth.
Squirrel savored it and tasted it. Finally, his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Delicious, really delicious!" After a moment of excitement, he drooped his head and said, "Unfortunately, I can't eat much."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
"Master, is there anything else delicious?" With Squirrel as an example, the other gluttons kept an eye out. They first asked around and left some space for themselves. If he didn't, he would eat more. He wouldn't lose out.
Fangzheng smiled. "The good stuff has just begun. Let's go and find a brazier."
There were too many people in Yang Hua's house. There were people both inside and outside the house. If Fangzheng wanted to find a brazier or stove, everyone would definitely be willing to give one to him. However, Fangzheng wasn't that selfish. He carried the bean buns out of Yang Hua's house and ran to Wang Yougui's house.
Sure enough, Wang Yougui's wife ran off to help make steamed buns or something. Wang Yougui was at home cleaning his precious motorcycle.
Fangzheng could not help but laugh when he saw the shiny motorcycle. "Patron Wang, how many times do you polish this motorcycle a day? Aren't you afraid of damaging it? "
When Wang Yougui heard that, he looked up and saw Fangzheng. He immediately laughed and said, "This is my treasure. How can it be damaged? By the way, why are you guys here? At this time, shouldn't you be freeloading at Yang Hua's house? "
Indeed, everyone in the village knew Fangzheng's character. He hit the nail on the head the moment he spoke.
Fangzheng's face blushed slightly as he said, "Ahem … Well, Patron Yang's house is a little cramped. This Penniless Monk might as well pack it up and bring it out. By the way, Patron, is there a fire in your brazier? "
With that said, Fangzheng shook the bag of frozen bean buns in his hand.
When Wang Yougui saw this, he revealed an expression as if he had expected it. Then, he said, "Wow, you brought quite a lot? The brazier is on the kang, and the corn kernels I just added are still roaring. "
When Fangzheng heard that, he quickly bade Wang Yougui farewell and rushed into the house with his disciples. Sure enough, there was a large brazier on the kang. The brazier was bright red, and one could feel the heat from a meter away.
With great familiarity, Fangzheng found a metal net in the kitchen and placed it on a brazier. Then, Fangzheng took out the frozen bean buns and placed them on the metal mesh one by one with a distance between them. It was to prevent the bean buns from melting and sticking together.
Monkey sat by the side while Squirrel stood by the side. His paws were placed on Monkey's leg as he craned his neck to watch curiously.
Red Boy sat opposite Fangzheng. He had a natural affinity for fire, so he enjoyed the roasting.
When Salted Fish saw that Wang Yougui hadn't entered the house and that there was no one inside, he immediately got up and sat by the fire basin to warm himself. As a result, the smell of roasted salted fish wafted out. Everyone took a whiff, and to be honest, it was quite fragrant! Everyone looked at Salted Fish, their gazes leaving him shuddering. He hurriedly converged his scent and grunted. "Take note. You are monks. You can't eat meat! You can't kill! "
Everyone curled their lips and didn't say a word as they watched Fangzheng set up the bean buns again.
Lone Wolf was too big, so there was no space for him on the kang. Thus, this fellow stood up and placed his claws on the edge of the kang bed. He raised his head, opened his mouth, and stuck his tongue out. He glared at the few bean buns on the bed as if he was looking at an enemy! It was as though he was saying: "These are mine. Anyone who tries to snatch them from me will be my irreconcilable enemy!"
With regards to this, everyone ignored his existence.
After setting up the bean buns, Fangzheng sat down and waited slowly.
"Master, do these bean buns taste good?" Squirrel gulped and asked.
Fangzheng smiled. "Of course. When have the things I brought you to eat been bad? This was one of my favorite things to eat in winter when I was young. "
"Master, what are these bean buns made of? Why are they so delicious? They just stick to my teeth. "After Lone Wolf said that, he opened his mouth and indeed, there was quite a bit stuck to his teeth. Only then did everyone realize that it was no wonder the fellow had been playing with his tongue the entire time. He had been cleaning his teeth.
Fangzheng said, "These are made by mixing sticky rice and cornflour according to a certain ratio. There's bean paste and sugar inside. After it's done, it can be steamed in a pot. Once it's done, it can be eaten. If it can't be eaten, it can be placed outside to be frozen. After it's frozen, it can be eaten directly. It can also be returned to the pot to be steamed again. It can also be roasted like us. However, under normal circumstances, only people who like to eat frozen bean buns or those who are starving will force themselves on it. Most of the time, it's steamed and eaten as a side dish on the dining table.
As for roasted bean buns, it's the same as eating barbecue. It's fun and eating at the same time. It's quite a unique flavor. "
As Fangzheng spoke, the bean buns on the metal mesh were roasted to the point of producing crackling sounds. Due to the high temperature, the skin suffused a golden color as it turned brighter! When the frozen bean buns melted, they were soft and shiny like glutinous rice. However, roasted bean buns were different. The bean buns looked like they were made of gold with a layer of wax! While they were bright, they had a special texture to them.
As the time the bean buns were roasted increased, tiny bubbles would occasionally appear near the fire pan. However, they weren't big and disappeared quickly.
Fangzheng kept changing the direction of the bean buns, trying his best to roast the bean buns evenly.
However, the bean buns were made of glutinous rice, after all. When they just melted, they were still very sticky. Therefore, every time they moved the bean buns, a part of them would stick to the barbed wire below. Some of the bean buns were even stuck to the barbed wire. Upon seeing this, Squirrel said somewhat reluctantly, "Master, are we not going to keep all of these? What a pity. "
Fangzheng smiled. "This isn't a waste. Have a taste."
With that said, Fangzheng removed the layer of skin that had hardened from the roasting. It was boiling hot to the touch, but the fragrance of the roasted charcoal whetted the little guys' appetites! Just as Fangzheng had said, it felt like it was being roasted!
Fangzheng broke off a tiny piece and placed it in Squirrel's paws. Squirrel felt his paws burn so hot that he could barely hold on. As for Fangzheng, he threw the rest into his mouth. When he closed his teeth, he produced a crisp sound. It was as though he wasn't eating a soft bean bun but a crispy roll!
Upon hearing the crisp sound, Squirrel hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth. Indeed, it wasn't as hot after entering his mouth. After a few bites, he found the bean bun's shell crispy and sweet. The sweetness had the fragrance of corn. The little guy cried on the spot.
