Chapter 57

After putting the meat in the pot, Yuansi was not idle, she had already thought about what she would have for lunch.She was going to make dumplings. The twenty catties of white flour left by the old lady was more than two catties in one meal yesterday, and there was still a lot left. After two days of eating, it is estimated that the wheat outside will be dried and can be continued. slipped away.

"Mom, do we have cabbage and radishes at home?" Yuan Si asked without seeing these in the kitchen.There are actually some vegetables in her space, but most of them are tomatoes, beans, eggplants, potatoes, etc. There are really no cabbages and radishes.

"Yes, in the fall it was divided, and I put them all in the firewood room." The firewood room is the coolest place, and it can be stored there for a longer period of time.

"Oh!" Yuansi went to the woodshed on her short legs.

Inside, against the wall, there are indeed cabbage, radish and potatoes, and some carrots.It's just that there are not many of them, only five cabbages.

Yuansi didn't care about that, picked up a cabbage and went back to the kitchen.

When passing by the old lady, she also said: "Mom, let's have dumplings at noon."

"What? Why don't you eat dumplings without festivals? Besides, don't you still have meat in your pot? Why do you still eat dumplings?" The old lady felt distressed when she thought that her noodle bag would shrink greatly after a meal of dumplings.

"It takes a day to marinate to get the taste. Besides, why do you have to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? Why are we still being caught if we eat now?" Yuansi was very unconvinced. She could eat her own stuff whenever she wanted. No one cares about eating.

The old lady was so choked that she couldn't speak, but she couldn't pinch the braid in her hand, so she finally decided to go and see her daughter, or she didn't know what she was doing.

For the old lady to join, Yuansi is very eager, as long as she doesn't talk nonsense and work more.

Early in the morning, the Li family's kitchen began to jingle.

The old lady was sent by Yuansi to wash the cabbage. Yuansi herself carried a piece of pork weighing three catties, put it on the cutting board and began to chop it.

Yuansi has strength in her hands and accurate head. With the help of mental strength, she added a transparent wall around the cutting board, so she saw the knife in Yuansi's hand flying up and down, and the meat on the cutting board was still in order. The ones stayed where they were, with no splash at all.

When the old lady washed a Chinese cabbage, Yuansi's minced meat was also chopped.He directly brought a wooden basin, put the minced meat in it, and chopped cabbage on the empty cutting board.

The old lady didn't believe in evil, she went to grab a little minced meat from the wooden basin and looked at it, and saw that the minced meat was indeed crumbled, which was better than chopping it herself, so she silently picked up the basin and listened to her daughter to knead the dough.

After Yuansi chopped the cabbage, she found another basin to put it in, and then sprinkled it with refined salt. After a while, the cabbage was killed out of the water.

She poured the cabbage water directly into the minced meat, and then started to force the minced meat with chopsticks.Then I poured the cabbage in, and sneaked a lot of soybean oil in without the old lady seeing her.

The wild pork is too thin, and the dumplings are not fragrant enough without oil, so you have to add more oil.

She took a few peppercorns and dried them on the fire, and then with a little hand, the pepper powder was sprinkled into the dumpling filling.

"Mother, make more noodles, and the stuffing in this big pot will cost you twice."

The old lady withdrew her hand and reached into the noodle bag again, scooping up a bowl of noodle.

When everything was ready, the mother and father began to make dumplings in the kitchen.

Of course, Yuansi rolled the dough and the old lady kneaded the dumplings.

"Don't tell me, this stewed meat is really delicious." The old lady sniffed her nose and smelled it, and now the whole room is full of the smell of meat.

"Well, this isn't tasty yet. We'll eat better at night if we wait for an afternoon." Yuansi was also greedy, but she just held back. "Mother, when you wrap the stuffing, make it more stuffed. Otherwise, the dough will not be enough, and you have to mix it."

"Okay, got it."

The mother and daughter made 250 dumplings in the morning, each with thin skin and big filling, and the round ones are very pleasing to look at.It's just that there are dumplings, but there is no pot to cook them.

Yuan thought about stopping the stewed meat for a while, then pouring it into a wooden basin, using an earthen pot to cook the dumplings first, and then pouring them over after the dumplings are cooked.

But the old lady waved her hand, "Don't worry about it, I'll go to your uncle's house to borrow a crock pot to use. Anyway, I just cook some dumplings, and we'll return it after a while." Then the old lady went out to borrow the pot.

Li Yuansi's uncle is not a direct relative, but Li Laoshi's cousin, but this uncle has a very good temper, so she gets along very well with the old lady, and the two families often move around.

"Sister-in-law, are you at home? I came to your house to borrow earthen pots for use." Zuo Daya pushed open the courtyard door and shouted. Tang Dabo's family also replaced the courtyard wall with stone ones a while ago. .

"Hey, I'm here. I'll ask the second daughter-in-law to bring it for you." Yuansi's aunt Chen Fengzhen greeted her from the house, "I heard that Xiao Si came back from the second?"

The news in the countryside spread quickly. Li Yuansi returned home last night, and at dawn this morning, the whole village probably knew that she was back.

"Well, I'll come back when I've lived enough, no, the child wants to eat well, so I made some dumplings for her." Zuo Daya said with a smile.

"You look amazing, but you are more used to children than anyone else." Chen Fengzhen also knows this sister-in-law's temperament. If she likes someone, she would like to show her heart to you.

"Isn't this the child who just came back? After all, being in someone else's house is not as comfortable as my own. I can't eat much as an old woman, so I just make something sweet for the child." Zuo Daya couldn't say that she also felt distressed.

At this moment, Zhou Shumei came out with the earthen jar, "Auntie, why don't I send you home."

"No, no, I'm not too old to take it, I can do it." Zuo Aya took the crock, then took it out of her pocket, took out five chocolate bonbons, stuffed it into the In Chen Fengzhen's hand.

"Sister-in-law, this is the candy that Xiao Si brought back. I heard that it is a foreign product, so I didn't take more. You can save these few dollars for the children to eat."

"No, no, no, the children in the family are all older than the junior four, how can you snatch the junior four, you take it back quickly." Chen Fengzhen hurriedly stuffed it back.

Zhou Shumei next to her was a little distressed, but she also said no to her mother-in-law on the face.

"It's not for you. After all, Xiaosi is an elder. It's not enough to bring some candy to your grandchildren. Besides, Xiaosi is changing his teeth, but you can't eat more, so you can accept it. Okay, I'll go." I'll bring you the earthen jar later." The old lady was afraid that they were tearing it up, so she hurriedly grabbed her things and left.

"Hey, by the way, the outer layer is made of chocolate, which is a bit bitter. After a while, it will become sweet, that is, it is bitter first and then sweet." The old lady did not forget to remind, don't spit out the sugar as soon as it tastes bitter. , that would be blind.
