Chapter 825: Chinese New Year's Eve, Eating Dumplings
"Grandpa, you rest for a while, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Old Man Li bowed his head, "Cheng, you wrap slowly, there is not much, I won't roll the dough today, just wrap it, and roll the dough again tomorrow." ”
Li Shenzhou nodded, it was agreed, washed his hands, and watched their grandfather and grandson play while making dumplings.
Li Shenzhou finished wrapping the rest of the dumpling skins, and every place in the stove room that could put the dumplings was already full of dumplings; the inside of the dumplings were all dumplings, and the skins were thin and large, and they were greedy when they looked at them.
When it was dark, Li Shenyuan, Zhong Ziguo, and Gu Xiangdang came back to see so many dumplings in the stove room, and they were too lazy to cook, and they also ate dumplings at night.
After sending away Zhong Ziguo and Gu Xiangdang, Li Shenyuan took out the white noodles and three catties and put them away, fermented them in advance, and it was convenient to use them the next day.
After the three catties of white flour are fermented, they can be eaten in the morning to make steamed buns, and the rest may also be used to make dumplings, which is also very convenient.
The dumplings were wrapped for three days in a row, and they did not stop until the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve; the dumplings at home were rolled one by one and the white noodles were placed in the stove room, and at night they were covered with a white cloth and put in the yard to be exposed, so as not to melt after the white noodles fermented.
On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhong Ziguo and Gu Xiangdang came back early to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner; even Luo Jianhong and others, who had made an appointment to celebrate the New Year together, arrived early and gathered at the Li family to talk and laugh.
Li Shenzhou thought they were arguing, so he took Luo Jianhong and Luo Yifan to the stove room to help cook.
"Sister-in-law, don't move, let's just do it, it'll be ready soon, the meat will be steamed, and two side dishes will be fried later." Zhong Ziguo saw her coming to do it, so he hurriedly stopped her.
Li Shenzhou glanced at the meat on the stove, "Aren't you cutting this meat?"
"No, I'll use it tomorrow, and I'll have enough meat tonight. "Zhongzi National Road.
"That's it, forget it. Li Shenzhou turned back to Luo Jianting and said, "Jianting, Yifan, you go to play by yourself, there is nothing to do here in the stove room, I will call you when you eat." ”
Luo Jianting smiled and shook her head, "Master, Yifan and I have no place to play, so I'm here to accompany you." ”
"You don't have to stay with me. After Li Shenzhou finished speaking, he saw that Luo Jianting and Luo Yifan still had no intention of leaving, so he said: "Then you go to the hall to play with Humm, that kid likes to be accompanied by people, and you haven't come to see Hum for a few days; ”
Luo Jianting thought of that little fat boy, her eyes lit up, and she nodded: "Okay, then I'll go and play with Hum Yifan." ”
"Go ahead!"
After sending away Luo Jianting's aunt and nephew, Li Chenzhou turned his head to look at Zhong Ziguo and Gu Xiangdang, hesitated and asked: "Two comrades, I want to ask, do you know what Li Shuzhi is like in the army now? Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I don't see him return." ”
"That, sister-in-law. Zhong Ziguo opened his mouth hesitantly.
Gu Xiangdang buried his head, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Shenzhou frowned, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhong Ziguo looked at her for a long time, and said stubbornly: "Sister-in-law, Shuzhi is training in the special combat team, and he went out to practice tonight, and he may not be able to come back tomorrow, originally the chief meant to let Shuzhi come back for the New Year, but the training on the side of the special combat team cannot be left behind, and Shuzhi also felt that the training progress should not be slowed down, so he did not come back." ”
What he didn't say was that the training on the side of the special combat team was even more rigorous than it had been a month ago, and even if he was a martial arts practitioner, it was a bit difficult to train, let alone others.
Although tired, the effect is indeed very obvious; at least, the physical fitness of the comrades who have joined the special combat team has improved, and Shuzhi also feels that their progress is difficult.
"Shuzhi that kid really said that?" Li Shenzhou frowned.
"Yes, just today, the chief himself went to ask the book, and if you don't ask us, the chief will tell you. Zhong Ziguo nodded and said solemnly.
Li Shenzhou pondered for a moment, and then put it down, "I'll just ask, since Shuzhi has an upward heart, let him train in the army with peace of mind!"
Zhong Ziguo and Gu Xiangdang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that fortunately their chief sister-in-law was not a difficult person, otherwise, it would be really difficult to say about this matter.
In the following time, Li Shenzhou didn't speak again, and took a dustpan of dumplings from the side; picked up a basket of dumplings, half of shrimp dumplings and half of cabbage and pork dumplings, and looked at the basket Although the basket was big and there were many dumplings in it, if they really wanted to talk about it, these dumplings were not enough for them to eat.
Besides, there are a lot of people who come today, even Zhong Ziguo and Gu Xiangdang, the three big stomach kings, have to eat hundreds, not to mention others.
"Put the dumplings in the pot! Chinese New Year's Eve, don't eat dumplings is not decent; cook more, wrap more dumplings, open to eat." Li Shenzhou put the dustpan next to him and simply let them cook as much as they wanted.
"Okay, sister-in-law, we'll cook it right away. Zhong Ziguo looked at the dumplings and laughed, and the tense atmosphere just now dissipated invisibly.
Gu Xiang Party lit the fire, added two more firewoods into it, and burned the fire vigorously.
It took more than half an hour to cook the dumplings, Li Shenzhou helped wash the dishes and chopsticks and put them on the table, while Zhong Ziguo and Gu Xiangdang brought the dumplings to the hall.
Xiang Yang smelled the smell of dumplings from afar, and as soon as he saw them come in, he immediately greeted the basin in his hand with a smile and took it, "Why are there so many dumplings? ”
"It was rolled by my sister-in-law herself. Zhong Ziguo said with a smile.
"My sister-in-law is amazing. Xiang Yang's eyebrows fluttered and praised, "The boss is really blessed to marry his sister-in-law, and his sister-in-law is outstanding in everything she does." ”
Zhong Ziguo nodded approvingly, don't look at their sister-in-law can't cook delicious meals, but otherwise it's okay.
Gu Xiangdang grinned, obviously agreeing with Xiang Yang's words.
Li Shenyuan took the dishes and chopsticks in Shen Zhou's hand and put them on the table, and said to Xiangyang: "A few of you also hurry up to marry your daughter-in-law, and your blessings are also here." ”
Li Shenyuan's rare joke made everyone laugh.
The courtyard of the Li family was lively, and each took a bowl and chopsticks to serve dumplings, and they ate as much as they wanted; those who were not full continued to add them, and there were many dumplings cooked anyway.
Li Shenzhou didn't eat any more after eating half a bowl, turned his head and saw the old man eating dumplings with Humm, Xiao Hum looked at the dumplings in the old man's bowl, and reached out to grab them;
"Grandpa, give me a hum, you eat dumplings well. Li Shenzhou stepped forward and hugged Hum over.
Old Man Li smiled and nodded, "Our family also wants to open meat, why don't you give him a taste?"
"There are shrimp dumplings cooked here, and I am afraid that it is not suitable for children to eat them. Li Shenzhou shook his head and declined.
