The group only stood on the deck, looking in the same direction.

But all of a sudden, a group of characters dressed in the same gray shirt came running towards here.

The merchants who saw this did not panic, but pressed the board to fix the connection between the ship and the shore.

The next moment, without greeting, those people automatically divided into multiple groups.

In pairs, they followed the board a little and got on the boat lightly, and the boatman on the edge of the boat hooked the hook rod along the bottom of the board, and the boat was separated from the shore in a fluttering way.

When the two of them stood still on the deck, the edge of the Panasonic was stuck and locked, and the board was resisted by the boatmen to the bottom cabin, the two went to the captain of the ship's main helm, and then handed the arm-long red flag in their hands to each other, and then found a place where they could put their feet at random and rested.

After finishing this string, the ship didn't need to be reminded by the people of the first business house, and the ship boss naturally raised the sails.

When a ship left the port, a ship immediately followed, still in the same operation, until the last lowered dinghy left, no more, no less, and the group of gray men followed in a boat.

At this time, flags were hung at the head and tail of the ship.

Among these flags, the largest of the first commercial houses was not as conspicuous as the Money and Grain Gang.

No one thought it was wrong, but it was the guards who were in charge of the guard since the group got on the boat...... One by two, they were all idle.

They should be busy with everything, and they have put down all the hearts they were carrying when they were rushing ahead.

This waterway is not slow, but it will take two days.

Isn't it just past the time for Shao Manchu to take immediate revenge at the beginning, so that this young man began to suffer from gains and losses.

It's a pity that the uncompetitive Zhang Dengguan didn't let Shao Manho's prediction come true.

At the end of the New Year, Shao Manchu, who was busy steaming dry food, couldn't care about thinking about him.

After helping the two mothers-in-law do a lot of work that day, Shao Manchu had to be idle after returning home.

Because during the Chinese New Year, all the people living on the border of Ludong, whether they live in the east and west or in the north and south, all the festivals must be steamed with a pot of dumplings.

Shandong people are a little particular about pasta.

There are many types of dumplings.

During the Chinese New Year, jujube dumplings and lotus seed dumplings are indispensable.

Because this kind of pasta is not small when kneading the dough, it is easier to store it when it is dried in a ventilated place, and when the temperature is a little lower, it can be eaten for a long time when it is steamed at a time, which is much more convenient than other rice noodles that are remade all day long.

Therefore, Shao Manho will do a few more.

He fished the dough out of the basin he had prepared yesterday, and woke up all night, and the noodles were full of honeycombs.

Shao Manchu washed his hands and pressed them with his thumb down, and there was a gurgling sound in the dough, which indicated that the holes inside were more than the outside...... And more.

By this time, the noodles were awake.

Then on the hard and hard plate kneaded, and the dough made by two catties of dry noodles in the water, Shao Manchu only needed two knives to stagger it, and it was divided into four halves.

Half a catty of a dumpling, this is not the biggest.

Pick up a ball and coil it twice in your hand, rub it into an oval, and then put your hand on the top, and a white fat round dumpling shape will be molded.

Shao Manho, who was trying to do everything well, circled around the dumpling group, and after confirming that each one was round and full and there were no dead ends, he pulled out a coarse cotton thread from the basket behind him.

In the center of the dumpling group, two lines were pressed horizontally and vertically with a thread, and a regular cross was pressed.

Looking at the position in the middle of the cross, he lifted the dough with his hand, pulled out a hole as thick as a little finger, and stuffed the self-produced golden silk dates that had been soaked in the basin into the middle, and completed the first insertion of the jujube dumplings.

With this first jujube as the standard of measurement, and the length of the jujube core as the distance between the faces, Shao Manchu's skillful hands pressed out along the line traces, and pulled them down one by one.

Wait until all the holes are pressed with dates.

A jujube dumpling with fifteen dates on top is considered to be formed.

Take this baitty as a standard, and the rest ...... It's faster.

When the water in the cauldron was boiling, there were more heavyweight brothers on the grate.

This is only the amount of the first pot, and when they come out of the pot, their little brother, the lotus seed dumpling, will also follow.

And when steaming lotus seeds, the noodles used are doubled.

Because lotus seeds are very simple to pick up, Shao Manchu naturally has to make more.

There are many styles of molds used to knock lotus seeds at home, most of which are masterpieces of practice when Shao's father was not sick, and the remaining few are works that were not sold again due to illness.

Now it has been used by Shao Manho, whether it is the lotus leaf mantang with broken leaves, or the carp with less whiskers in the dragon gate, Shao Manchu does not dislike it.

He stuffed these molds one by one, lined up the yards, and then he was like a naughty boy, from the beginning, the molds were turned over, buttoned, and bell-bell-bell...... All the way to the last one.

The white and fat dough blank with various patterns turned over on the board, and the side with flowers was facing up, like a grinning doll, waiting for the inspection of Shao Manchu, the maker.

At this time, Shao Manchu showed three points of youthfulness, he lowered his head, squinted his eyes, looked at it from the beginning, and groped it from the beginning with his hands, pressed the corners that were some sticky, and then picked up the bamboo grate at hand and hung it on it.

Perfectly handmade.

In the evening of the same day, there was a smell of wheat fragrance next to the stove of the Shao family.

Except for the dumplings to be gnawed at night and tomorrow, the rest were covered with drawer cloth, placed on bamboo shelves, and hung under the eaves of the house outside.

It only takes one night for these dumplings to turn into hard ice ballast steamed buns.

If you want to eat it, you only need to take out two of them and return them to the cauldron to re-steam.

When the spring flowers bloom and the snow melts and the birds chirp, these dry foods will be spoiled by moisture, and they will all go into Shao Manho's stomach and will not be wasted.

And this is the most strenuous work before the Chinese New Year's Eve.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the desertion of the village slowly passed.

Some of the families who have been divided have to go to the house of the Lord or the house of the elders to eat.

A few families who lived a relatively wealthy life also broke a few firecrackers early.

Even the most impoverished people adjusted the filling and wrapped a meal of dumplings.

Even though it's meat and vegetarian, it's finally going to be a lively New Year.

Shao Manchu was the only one who was still on the edge of the pot, busy with his own recipes, and he scooped up the fried radish balls in the thin oil pan with a fence to fill his slightly barren table.

There is no one to celebrate the New Year together, and they can only fill the gap caused by loneliness with food.

There is a poor way, but two catties of pork, cut half a catty into the cabbage and tofu stewed vermicelli, chop half a catty into the radish shredded leeks disguised meat three fresh dumpling filling, the remaining one catty, square, make do with the white sugar just bought, red soy sauce, green onion white and spicy yellow ginseng mixed with the fishy juice, it was stewed into a fat rice, a year not seen in the real material braised pork.

At this time, with this vegetarian and flavorful meatballs, with dried firewood but fresh and salty smoked sausages, and finally a bowl of kneaded pimples made of the remaining bowl bottom of the bowl, these four dishes and one soup are also completed.

Surrounded by these delicacies, the last bit of loneliness in Shao Manchu's heart was washed away.
