The next day it was drizzling, and Liu Mang stayed in the store all day, and it didn't open until 8 o'clock in the evening.

When he opened the shutter door, he found two people squatting on the steps of the restaurant, shivering from the cold, like lonely ghosts.

"Boss, you've finally opened the door!" One of them stood up with excitement and trembling voices when he heard the sound of the roller shutter.

"Why are you here so early?" Liu Mang wondered.

These two people are wearing suits and ties, and they are the fat man and Lao Zhang who ate coconut chicken last time.

"I got off work early today, and I'm idle, so I'm going to try my luck. The fat man shook his head and shook the rain off his head.

"Yes, since I ate your coconut chicken that day, I don't even think about it, I just think about it. Lao Zhang said.

"Come on in. Liu Mang stepped aside.

"Boss, here are two coconut chickens. As soon as he entered the door, the fat man shouted compulsively.

"Nope. Liu Mang replied very dryly.

"Why?"

"Because the lady opposite didn't send me a coconut today. Liu Mang shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay. All right. For such a boss, the fat man said that he was very helpless.

"Boss, what's there today?" asked Lao Zhang.

"Dumplings, today I made noodles and bought some pork, and I will make you 'sauerkraut dumplings' to eat." ”

"It's okay, dumplings are dumplings. Lao Zhang nodded: "Anyway, it's not about ordering food, it's about ordering a chef." ”

"That's right, that's right. The fat man also nodded again and again: "I have confidence in the boss's craftsmanship, and everything I do is delicious." ”

"Okay, then I'm busy. Tea is on the table, pour it yourself. Liu Mang greeted and walked to the kitchen.

"Lao Zhang, did you say that the boss suffered some blows?

"I guess so. I think this boss is not simple, and he has a kind of superior demeanor. Lao Zhang had a relation: "Haven't you heard that the big is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the wild? The boss must be such a person." ”

After listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Mang smiled, and then kneaded the dough in front of him.

The sauerkraut used in today's dumplings is homemade by Liu Mang. It adopts the pickling method of Shudi sauerkraut, first washes the snow red, cowpea and cabbage, puts it in the jar and pickles it with kimchi water for half a month.

After the sauerkraut is taken out of the jar, the water is squeezed out, and then the pork fat and ginger are chopped together into a filling and wrapped into dumplings, and finally served with a fresh and thick bone soup, which is the best taste of this early spring.

"Boss, are these dumplings freshly wrapped?" Seeing that Liu Mang had just begun to knead the dough into long strips, the fat man asked.

"Well, the taste of the bun is better, and the dough tastes firmer. Liu Mang replied.

"How long will it take? Lao Zhang muttered quietly, but when he saw how Liu Mang rolled the dumpling skin, his eyes immediately widened.

Liu Mang now doesn't use a rolling pin to roll dumplings at all, but a kitchen knife. The divided dough was placed on the board one by one, and Liu Mangping pressed the kitchen knife flat, and with a strong rotation, a neat dough was formed, which took only one or two seconds.

As soon as the dough was held in his hand, Liu Mang poked the chopsticks with the filling, and as soon as he held the palm of his hand, a dumpling was formed. The action is so fast that people can't see clearly.

"Boss, you used to practice acrobatics......, right? This dumpling is so handsome!" The fat man couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"Without it, only the hand is familiar. Liu Mang replied lightly.

After wrapping the dumplings, Liu Mang boiled the water in the pot: "How many do you eat?"

"Uh, these dumplings are sold by one?" said the fat man, surprised.

"50 A bowl is to be eaten freely, but not to be wasted. Liu Mang replied.

"Okay, I want 20! no! 30!"

"I'll have 30 too. Lao Zhang replied.

After a while, two large bowls of dumplings were served in front of the fat man and Lao Zhang.

"Boss, what if I can't finish eating?" the fat man said with some worry as he looked at the soup pot and the pot full of dumplings.

"If you can't finish eating, then don't come after that. Liu Mang pulled a towel and wiped his hands, and said.

"Okay, okay. The fat man picked up the spoon: "Even if I die, I will finish eating." ”

First scooped up a spoonful of thick soup and tasted it, and the fat man immediately smacked his mouth: "Fresh!

"Boss, how do you make this dumpling soup?" Lao Zhang also tasted and asked.

"Pork and beef bones are used to make the soup, and when the soup turns milky white, the bones are removed, and then the minced chicken breast is used to absorb impurities and oil slicks. ”

"It's so complicated!" the fat man stuck out his tongue and scooped up a dumpling.

Liu Mangbao's dumplings are very beautiful, each one is round and bulging, like ingots.

"It's delicious!"

With just a light bite, the filling of the dumplings blooms in the mouth.

The sauerkraut is not particularly sour, it is very palatable, and it has a 'crunchy' feeling in the mouth. The pork in it is fat and thin, and it is neutralized with sauerkraut, which enriches the layering of taste.

With each chew, the filling of the dumplings and the firm dough are mixed, and the delicious soup is accompanied by a delicious thick soup, which makes people's taste buds jump freely.

"I can eat dumplings with such a taste, no matter how much I come!" the fat man was confident and began to eat it.

"Excuse me, do you have anything to eat here?" At this time, the wooden door was pushed open again, and an old woman with reading glasses and a snakeskin bag on her shoulder, and a full head of white hair walked in.

"Grandma, I only have sauerkraut dumplings here. Liu Mang walked out of the bar and helped the old lady take the bag on her shoulder.

"Sauerkraut dumplings, yes. The old man nodded, and looked at the big bowl in front of the fat man and Lao Zhang: "Comrade, I don't want so much, just give me a small bowl." ”

"Wait a minute. Liu Mang took the cup and wanted to pour a cup of hot tea for the old lady.

"Comrade, I'm bringing my own cup, just add some hot water for me. The old lady trembled and took out a worn-out thermos cup from her snakeskin pocket and said.

"Okay. Liu Mang nodded, took the boiling kettle, and filled the old lady's thermos cup with water.

Liu Mang walked into the back kitchen and began to make dumplings.

The old lady took a sip of water and took out an old-fashioned Nokia mobile phone from her pocket: "Hey, I've already bought a ticket, and you're busy with work, so you don't have to give it to me." I put a passbook under the bed I slept on, the password is your birthday, you take it to buy some toys and food for Tintin......"

"Grandma, your dumplings. When the old lady hung up the phone, a bowl of steaming dumplings was brought to her.

"You eat slowly, I'll add it to you if it's not enough." ”

"Okay, okay. ”
