Chapter 8 Eating dumplings
In a blink of an eye, noon was approaching, and my grandmother and uncle saw the remaining vegetable porridge in the crockpot and shouted to leave. Li Yuqing hurriedly stopped, I don't know if I ate it in the morning, and I don't know when I will be able to get home when I leave, how can my grandmother bear it at such an age.
Li Yuqing was afraid that they would not agree, so she hurriedly said, "Grandma and uncle, don't go, do you see the wild vegetables at the door, I will make dumplings for you to taste at noon, the wild vegetables are delicious." ”
"Qing'er, what kind of dumplings, can that weed really be eaten?" Uncle Chen Dazhuang looked incredulous.
"Uncle, you don't know what dumplings are, that's what my grandmother taught me in my dream when I was unconscious. You sit on the kang and wait for a while, I'll get it right away" After saying that, he picked up the wild vegetables that he put on the ground, picked out the shepherd's cabbage, took it to the kitchen and washed it, and after thinking about it, he took out four of the eggs given by his grandmother.
"Xin'er came over to help my sister burn firewood," Li Yuqing said to Li Yuxin, who was still talking to her grandmother Cai in the house.
Hearing the shout, Li Yuxin obediently ran over to help Li Yuqing light firewood, sat there and burned it. Li Yuqing brushed the cauldron clean and waited for the water in the pot to steam dry. Scoop a spoonful of oil and cover the pan with all the eggs, open all the eggs and grind them with a spatula. When the eggs are golden brown, they are placed in the bowl of vegetables, and the aroma of eggs comes from a burst. Li Yuxin, who was burning wood, smelled the fragrant egg fragrance and took several sips of saliva.
Li Yuqing took out a small piece of egg from the bowl and put it in Li Yuxin's mouth, Li Yuxin was startled by Li Yuqing's sudden movement.
Li Yuqing winked at her, Li Yuxin looked at such an eldest sister very closely, not entangled and slowly eating the eggs in her mouth, her eyes narrowed and she enjoyed it.
Li Yuqing brushed the pot clean and filled most of the pot with water, and let Li Yuxin continue to boil. She turned around and picked up the wooden basin, dug two bowls of noodles, thought about it, and her uncle dug another bowl, put water and mixed it up, made a ball of flour, and set it aside to wake up. Started to cut the prepared shepherd's cabbage and stir it with the eggs, looking at the yellow, yellow, green and green dumpling filling, Li Yuqing also swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva very unproductively.
I put a little salt, but fortunately, the eggs didn't need to be MSG in the first place, otherwise she really had no choice. When the things were ready and the noodles were almost ready, Li Yuqing wrapped them in the leather of the hand, and after a while, dozens of them were wrapped.
Li Yuxin secretly looked at it several times, and when she saw dumplings the size of ingots, her beautiful eyes smiled into a line. In less than half an hour, everything was ready, the water boiled, and the white and tender dumplings were put into the water like ducks.
After a while, they all ran up, asked Li Yuxin to put out the fire, picked up the spoon and scooped them all up and put them in the basin. Seeing the dumplings in the basin, Li Yuqing thought to herself how good it would be to have garlic, so that they could be ground into garlic paste and eaten sticky.
beckoned Li Yuxin to take the dumplings out, picked up the crockpot in front of the stove, filled some soup, and brought it over. Seeing Li Minghao squatting next to the pheasant he caught in the morning and showing off with his grandmother Cai, Li Yuqing patted his head dotingly and smiled.
"Qing'er, you put the eggs under the chicken's buttocks, and now the chicken can't hatch the eggs, and it's a waste to put it away. Take it out, the chickens will lay eggs after a few days of incubation," Grandma Cai looked at Li Yuqing and said lovingly.
Li Yuqing heard Cai's words and hurriedly replied, "I know grandma, I'll take it out after eating." The meal is ready to eat."
"Qing'er, is this the dumpling you are talking about, it's so good-looking, mother, come and try the dumplings made by Qing'er," Grandma Cai's grandmother Cai Shi heard her uncle Chen Dazhuang call her and looked over, and when she saw the white and fat dumplings in the basin, she immediately had an appetite.
Picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, full of vegetables and eggs. Swallow it, eat the remaining half, smash it, smash it, and praise it for being delicious. Chen Dazhuang also picked up chopsticks and ate one, but it didn't matter if he ate it, he couldn't stop at all. The two little ones saw Chen Dazhuang like this, and they were also curious to eat with chopsticks. Until the dumplings in the basin were finished with this meal, Chen Dazhuang touched his belly, and he was still a little unsatisfied. Not to mention the two smaller ones. Both stomachs were bulging, and they were still yelling that they didn't have enough to eat.
Chen Dazhuang touched his stomach and said, "Qing'er, this is the dumpling you said was wrapped in wild vegetables, right? It's better than the meat wontons I ate for three cents at the market." ”
Li Yuqing's eyes lit up, yes, she can make dumplings and sell them, since her grandmother and uncle don't know that wild vegetables can be eaten, you can make dumplings, which means that no one here knows as much as herself. Li Yuqing immediately felt a feeling of surging blood.
She didn't tell her grandmother and uncle that she wanted to sell dumplings, because now the family is poor and has no money for her to do it. Li Yuqing let go of her excitement, thought about it, and waited for time to go to the mountain to have a look, the mountain is omnipotent, and everyone who crosses it has to go once. When the time comes, look for it and see if there is anything to sell for money.
After eating, he chatted with his grandmother for a while, and Chen Dazhuang took advantage of this time to help fill the water tank and chop a lot of firewood. After doing this, it was not too early to see the next day, so I beckoned my grandmother Cai Shi to go home. Cai Shi looked at the sky, it was indeed not early, and he did not stay long, and when he left, he gave Li Yuqing a purse, patted her hand, and told her that there was silver in it, and her grandfather gave it to them. Li Yuqing put the purse in her arms, took Li Yuxin and Li Minghao to the entrance of the village, and stood at the entrance of the village until she couldn't see them before going home hand in hand.
