Chapter 269 - 260: Flaky Meat Flatbreads, Part 2
This girl was upset last night, how come she became happy again after just one night of sleep? I was even planning to go in and ask her what happened, but seeing the situation now, it seems unnecessary.
The boys, even though they sat on the train all night, are still very energetic due to their youth, and went out to collect junk after breakfast this morning.
Qin Xi had to go out for something, while Li Xianglu first called the An Family to invite Xu Hui to bring the two kids over for some "mianpi" and then also called Lu Anna, hoping she could bring Lu Ping’an with her.
Anna did want to come, but she had already visited the courtyard house yesterday, and felt a bit embarrassed to come over two days in a row. Now that it’s summer vacation, both her sisters-in-law are here, and she was afraid of being teased.
Li Xianglu didn’t insist, just told them to cook less for lunch, and that Qin Zhen would bring over some food when he comes back, including smoked meat and flatbreads.
The flatbread Li Xianglu made wasn’t the common kind, not made with leavened dough, but unleavened dough mixed with lard and then kneaded hard. Finally, it’s twisted into bundles and rolled out and cooked in a pan.
Once cooked, the outside of the bread is crispy, with layers unfolding one by one. Cut the middle in half with a knife and stuff it with chopped smoked meat. One bite and the crispy exterior and the meaty aroma inside is like a tongue-dropping experience.
Mr. Li hadn’t had his granddaughter’s pork-stuffed buns for a long time and couldn’t wait to go to the kitchen to take a look.
Su Yan shook her head helplessly. Li Huai Ren was such a man thirty years ago. Look at him now, not only a geezer, but a total foodie as well.
Qin Zhen and Li Jianqing knew they were making "mianpizi" at home and returned by eleven o’clock. They had a good haul, a cart full of old books, newspapers, and various bottles and jars.
