"Meow~" After Wang Ruoxi and the young man left, Xiao Liu didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and spun in circles at Liu Mang's feet.

"Little Liu, you're hungry. Liu Mang rubbed the fat cat's chubby head: "I'm hungry too." ”

Walking into the back kitchen, Liu Mang first scooped out a little fish soup from a container in the refrigerator, heated it in the microwave, mixed it with cold rice, and poured it into Xiaoliu's bowl.

The fish soup is specially boiled by Liu Mang, which is made from fish bones and then added with minced fish. Salt and other seasonings are deliberately not added.

Cats don't sweat, so the consumption of salt is very small, plus their kidneys and urinary tract system are very fragile, and it is easy to get urinary stones and other diseases after eating salt.

Although Liu Mang is raising a cat for the first time, he still has this basic common sense.

"What do you want to eat?" After arranging Xiaoliu, Liu Mang opened the refrigerator again.

"Forget it, today's dumplings haven't been sold out yet, so let's eat dumplings. ”

Liu Mang didn't go to the vegetable market today, but only caught a herring weighing more than ten catties from the lake in the kitchen god space, except for a part of the cat food prepared for Xiaoliu, the rest of the fish meat was scraped into fish paste and wrapped into dumplings.

Just when Liu Mang took out the dumplings from the refrigerator and was about to cook his own dinner, a small head poked in from the door, glanced at Liu Mang, and asked timidly: "Uncle, do you have dumplings to eat here?"

"Dumplings, yes. Liu Mang smiled and said, "Come in." ”

"Oh. The little head shrank back, and a little girl walked in.

The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a sky-blue school uniform, a braid, and a string of shiny keys around her neck.

"Grandma, there are dumplings to eat here. The little girl pushed open the wooden door and walked in with an old lady with gray hair, who was hunched and trembling as she walked.

"Sit here, old man. Seeing that it was an old lady, Liu Mang hurriedly walked out of the bar and helped the little girl help her sit down on the chair.

Because the chair next to the bar was a hardwood chair, Liu Mang took another pillow from his recliner and put it on the chair.

"Uncle, how much do you have dumplings?" asked the little girl after sitting down.

"Uh...... 10 bucks. Liu Mang thought for a moment and replied.

"Alright, get us one. The little girl took out a brand-new 10 yuan bill from the pocket of her school uniform and handed it to Liu Mang.

"Okay, please wait a minute. Liu Mang put the money in the drawer, poured two cups of hot tea and sent it over.

"Grandma, you drink water. The little girl brought the tea to the old lady.

"Good boy. The old lady took a sip of tea and touched the little girl's head.

"Grandma, will Daddy and Mom come back after eating the dumplings?" asked the little girl, propping her head on one arm, to the old lady.

"Coming back, will be back for sure. The old lady replied.

Liu Mang, in the back kitchen, put the pot on the stove and poured half a pot of water. Wait until the water bubbles up and pour in the dumplings that have been wrapped in the morning.

"Little sister, what do you want to dip in?" soy sauce and aged vinegar?" the dumplings were put into the pot, and Liu Mang took a small bowl and asked.

Today's dumplings are not soup dumplings. Therefore, Liu Mang has to prepare a dipping dish, and generally eats dumplings Northerners like to dip in aged vinegar, while southerners like to dip in soy sauce.

"Uncle, give us soy sauce. My grandmother has bad teeth and can't be jealous. The little girl replied.

"Okay. Liu Mang took a glass bottle, poured half a plate of the crimson 'monkey' in the dish, and put it on the bar.

The dumplings in the pot floated and fell in the boiling water, and Liu Mang gently stirred them with a colander before scooping them into a plate.

"Grandma, you use it slowly. ”

"Excuse me, lad. The old lady thanked her and pushed the dumplings next to the little girl: "Good girl, eat quickly." ”

The little girl stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a dumpling from the plate, blew vigorously first, then dipped the soy sauce in the dipping plate, and brought it to the old lady's mouth: "Grandma, you eat first." ”

"Okay, I'll eat. The old lady opened her mouth, took the dumpling in her mouth with great difficulty, and swallowed it before she could chew it much.

"Grandma, is it delicious?" asked the little girl, looking up.

"Delicious! Delicious!" the old lady nodded again and again: "Young man, what kind of stuffing are you putting here?" ”

"Oh, and this dumpling filling is made with minced fish with a little carrot and crushed corn in it. Liu Mang replied.

"No wonder, it's so much better than what I packed. ”

"Grandma, then you can eat another one. The little girl picked up another dumpling.

"Eat, good girl. The old lady shook her head lightly and smiled.

"Oh. The little girl picked up the crescent-shaped dumplings and stuffed them into her mouth, but for a child, it was still a little hot, so she put the dumplings back on the plate and wanted to use chopsticks to poke the dumplings before eating.

The old lady grabbed the little girl's hand holding the chopsticks: "Good girl, you can put the dumplings in your mouth and eat them slowly, and you must not break them." Eating dumplings is to ask for a reunion, and it will be unlucky if it is broken, and the dumplings cannot be broken, these are all rules, understand?"

"Reunion?" The little girl's eyes lit up: "Grandma, do I eat according to the rules and see my parents soon?"

"yes. The old lady turned her face away and secretly wiped her eyes with her hand.

The little girl carefully picked up the dumpling from the plate, blew on it, opened her mouth as wide as possible, and put the dumpling into her mouth.

"Well, it's delicious!Uncle, the dumplings you made are so delicious!" the little girl's eyes narrowed.

The filling used by Liu Mang is fish meat, which is scraped off the body of the fish little by little with a sharp blade, and there are no thorns at all.

Coupled with egg whites and a little starch, after being beaten vigorously, the texture becomes extremely tender, and when you bite lightly, it melts in the mouth. Paired with the firm and springy dumpling wrappers and the slightly salty and sweet 'monkey sku', it is really a delicious taste that is hard to let go.

"Grandma, you eat another one, this dumpling is really delicious. The little girl reluctantly swallowed the dumplings in her mouth, and picked up another one and brought it to the old lady's mouth.

"Okay! I'll eat!" the old lady looked at the little girl's eyes full of satisfaction, and her mouth chewed lightly.

"Grandma, you eat slowly, I'll cook it if it's not enough, and I won't charge another fee. Liu Mang said.

"Thank you, uncle. The little girl looked up and smiled sweetly.

The grandparents and grandchildren took a bite of you, I took a bite, enjoying this ordinary food, and the prompt sound of the kitchen god space sounded in Liu Mang's mind again.

"It's so beautiful!" Liu Mang smiled.
