    ?

    In midsummer, the entire Lin'an County was plunged into scorching heat. The bright sun and dust seemed to have dried up the moisture in the sky and earth, and no one dared to go to the streets.  A few cats and dogs lie in the shade under the eaves with their tongues out to enjoy the cool.

    Suddenly there was a crisp bell ringing outside, accompanied by the unique yell of the popsicle truck: "Popsicle¡ªcream red beans and red fruits¡ª¡ª"

    The lifeless street was suddenly startled by the voices of children.  The windows of every household were pushed open, and there were anxious children pleading and acting like a baby, and the voices of adults tired after taking a nap.

    "Dad, let's buy a popsicle¡ª"

    "My son's father, take the thermos and go down to make three popsicles."

    "Don't take the ice bowl! I can just eat a red fruit popsicle, and buy an ice cream for the child."

    Various vague sounds came from the window, as well as the sound of running downstairs with slippers pulled.  The people who came down from every household were either old men or children, and all of them had change or thermos in their hands.

    A young man wearing a short-sleeved white sweatshirt and looking clean and undisturbed is particularly eye-catching.

    They are all on the same street, in a military compound, and everyone recognizes them.  People kept saying hello to him: "Pei Yuan, buy popsicles for my brother?"

    "Uncle Wu, Uncle Li." Gu Peiyuan nodded politely, and let the elders and children buy first.

    Not for my brother, but for some greedy guy.  Lin Ranran's delicate and shrewd eyes appeared in his mind: "Who wants to eat popsicles?"

    "Me, me, me!" A few children jumped up and raised their hands.

    Lin Ranran said again: "Then I'll go down and buy."

    On such a hot day, she was wearing short sleeves and exposed her snow-white arms. It's no wonder that she didn't get peeled in the sun.  Gu Peiyuan closed the book, silently picked up the thermos and got down.

    The popsicle cart in the popsicle factory is actually very simple. There is a white box on a trolley. When it is opened, there is a quilt inside. There are several open thermos tightly wrapped in the quilt, and there are popsicle sodas in different categories.  and ice cream.

    The man who sold the popsicles was missing a leg, and was tanned like charcoal, sweat dripping down his face.  There was a towel around his neck, and he lifted it up to wipe off his sweat, and then gulped water from the large glass bottle he brought with him.

    Even though it was so hot, he didn't have any idea about his cart of popsicles¡ªsince he started selling popsicles, he had never eaten one!

    Doing business these days is a taboo, but selling popsicles is different.  On such a hot day, everyone wants to eat popsicles, but they don't want to go out.  What's more, the popsicles from the state-run popsicle factory have to be sold?

    Therefore, the small seasonal business of selling popsicles is allowed to exist.  Most of the popsicle sellers are the elderly and people with financial difficulties. After reporting to the street, they can go to popsicle factories or shops to wholesale popsicles.

    People who sell popsicles usually go out in the afternoon, first go to wholesale popsicles, and then push the popsicle carts and start selling them in the streets.  They have a few fixed-point streets drawn by themselves, and they will not stray into other people's territory to avoid disputes.

    At this time, the types of popsicles were very simple, divided into three grades: one cent, three cents and five cents.  The one-cent popsicles are salt water popsicles, commonly known as old popsicles in later generations, the three-cent ones are hawthorn and red bean flavors, and the five-cent ones are creamy.

    Another small bucket contains ice cream, which is called an ice bowl in the dialect of Lin'an City.  The ice cream these days is served in small paper bowls, and is divided into cream flavor and taro flavor.  Ice cream was fifteen cents.

    Another large bucket contained crushed ice, and there were many glass bottles of soda pop and beer piled inside.  There is no ticket to buy soda and beer here, soda is 30 cents, beer is 50 cents, and you can get 20 cents back if you return the bottle.

    Most of the people living here are not bad, and they all buy popsicles that cost five cents or three cents. There is also a father who is spoiled by the child, who can¡¯t stand the child acting like a baby, and buys an ice cream, and tells him to hurry up.  After eating, don't let your mother see it.

    Most of them are children holding tencents, holding their fingers in their mouths and hesitating for a long time, wanting to eat whatever flavor they want.  The lame man had a good temper and didn't rush, just waiting cheerfully.

    After a group of people had finished shopping and left, a young man with extremely handsome phoenix eyes came over and handed over a thermos: "Please, I want six ice bowls and six popsicles. Give me a bottle of soda."

    "Okay." The crippled man cheerfully handed over a bottle of soda, and then took the thermos, "What flavor do you want?"

    "Three creams, three taro. Popsicles need creamfive sticks of cream, one stick of salt water." The boy didn't know what to think of, so he changed his words.

    "Okay." The crippled man walked all afternoon, and the ice cream only sold three, and this boy bought so much as soon as he sold it. No wonder people say that there is a general building on this street.p; When it was time for dinner, Gu Peiyuan might be hungry, so he finally asked Lin Ranran to make Liangpi.

    The basin of flour and water has settled, the top is clear water, and the bottom is white powder slurry.  Lin Ranran hummed happily, and instructed Gu Peiyuan to pour out the clear water on top.

    Only at this time can she tell Gu Peiyuan what to do, and let out a suffocating breath in her chest: "Slow down, slow down, don't pour all the powder! How stupid¡ª¡ª"

    The biggest cook, Gu Peiyuan tolerated her.

    After the clear water was poured out, Lin Ranran stirred the powder slurry carefully to let it continue to settle.  Steam the gluten first.

    The gluten has swelled after an afternoon of fermentation, and many honeycomb-shaped cavities appear.  Lin Ranran put the gluten in the pot, steamed it on high heat for about 15 minutes, took it out and let it cool down, then cut it into small cubes.

    After the cauldron was boiled with water, Lin Ranran found out a large shallow round iron pan, which was used for steaming the skins during Chinese New Year.  Spread a la carte oil on the iron plate, stir the paste evenly, scoop up a spoonful and pour it on the iron plate, shake it evenly and put it into the pot.

    Two or three minutes after closing the lid, take a look at the pot lid and see that the powder slurry has solidified into a layer of translucent Liangpi, and there are big bubbles, which means it is cooked.

    Lin Ranran picked it up with chopsticks, quickly peeled off the cold skin and put it aside, then ironed the second one.

    Lin Ranran was very fast, and in a short while, he scalded more than 20 cold skins, stacked them together and let them cool¡ªa little rapeseed oil should be rubbed between each cold skin, otherwise the cold skins will stick together and cannot be peeled off.

    Lin Ranran started chopping vegetables after finishing all these tasks.  Two fresh cucumbers are shredded, minced garlic, coriander, chili oil, sesame paste, etc. are prepared in sequence.

    At this time, the cold skin was also cooled, Lin Ranran uncovered a few cold skins and cut them into strips, put them in a basin, put the shredded cucumber, gluten and seasonings in, and stirred them vigorously with two long chopsticks.

    A pot of cold noodle with good color, fragrance and taste is ready.  The cold skin is white and the cucumbers are green and green. It is refreshing visually, and it is the most appetizing in this hot summer.

    People in summer have no appetite, let alone hot soup and rice.  Many people would eat cold rice or rice with rice, but this family is either old or young, and there is a young master who is difficult to take care of. Lin Ranran is thinking of ways to cook appetizers every day.

    Lin Ranran felt that it would be nice to have a different taste after making the same cold noodles and porridge for a week.

    Lin Ranran put minced garlic, coriander and chili oil in small bowls and plates. It is difficult for everyone to taste, so let everyone add these things by themselves.

    "You take the bottle of vinegar and take it out." Lin Ranran turned around and saw that Gu Peiyuan was still in the kitchen, and said casually.

    Gu Peiyuan didn't move, his phoenix eyes stared at her.

    Lin Ranran: "why?"

    Gu Peiyuan's long eyelashes flickered twice: "I haven't eaten rice rolls for a long time."

    Lin Ranran: ""

    Gu Peiyuan had no shame on his face, and continued to look at her confidently, hinting: "The recipe of rice rolls is very similar to Liangpi."

    Lin Ranran: "You! Hugh! Think!"

    Do you want to eat rice rolls after making Liangpi?  What kind of young master?  Do you want to do it or not?  I will never get used to your bad temper!  !  !

    At the dining table, everyone has a bowl of Liangpi for each person. On a hot day, eat a bowl of Liangpi, then pour a lot of vinegar and garlic and mix well, not to mention how beautiful it is.  Even Grandma Gu, who has been losing her appetite since the beginning of summer, ate an extra bowl.

    There is also a plate of cold shredded kohlrabi, a plate of crispy pickled cucumbers, and a large bowl of tomato and egg drop soup, all of which are appetizers.

    Gu Yuanyuan secretly added some chili to the cold noodle, it was so hot that his lips turned red, and he refused to put down his chopsticks even though he was wheezing.

    He stuffed his mouth full of cold noodle, and squinted at the white and tender roll in his brother's bowl: "Brother, Wo also wants rice rolls."

    Gu Peiyuan picked up a piece of rice rolls slowly, with joy in his phoenix eyes: "Continue to think." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
