Chapter 202: Dumplings

Look at the mountain-like chips in front of Shu Chang and the third grandfather, look at the sugar cubes piled up in the hands of the old man Shu, Xia lowered his head and looked at the empty table in his hand, and sighed softly, whether it was before or after rebirth, he had no luck every time he played cards, either to give cards to others, or to listen to the time when he was happy, and he touched a good card. Summer scratched his hair, he really wasn't a card player, and he thought that he could win over Old Man Shu or release water to Old Man, but he didn't expect that he didn't have to be so troublesome at all, he didn't have to think about anything, he could lose a mess.

"Okay, don't be so sad. Grandma Xia stood beside Summer, watched for about two laps, just smiled and watched him lose again and again, and when she saw Summer grabbing her hair with some annoyance, she opened her mouth to persuade, "This is just a little game of your own family, you can't go to your heart." ”

"How come, grandma?" Hearing Grandma Xia's words, Xia Xia took a deep breath, got up from the chair, grabbed his grandmother's arm with a smile, and said, "Even if I win, I will have to honor my grandfather in the end, so it just saves me trouble, doesn't it? I give up a big red envelope for those sugars I don't like to eat, how much more than I gain, right?"

"That's right, that's right, this is our family's little money fan, where can we give up red envelopes for sugar cubes, this kind of stupid thing of losing watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, my little money fan won't do it, right?" Grandma Xia patted Summer's little paws and looked up at the time displayed on the TV screen, "Okay, after playing cards for two hours, it's time to take a break, if you sit for too long, your body will be uncomfortable, even if our ingredients are good, but you still have to pay attention to a little bit." Boss, you clean up here, and we'll make dumplings later!"

"Okay, playing cards is really a way to kill time, and before I know it, it's past ten o'clock, but it's not time to pack up and prepare to make dumplings. Otherwise, you can't eat dumplings on time at twelve o'clock!" "Father Xia, who was named, also glanced at the time, nodded lightly, and put down the cards in his hand with Uncle Xia, Xia Zewen, and Xia Zewu, stood up obediently, cleaned up the card table with his hands and feet, and then brought the mixed dumpling filling and the reconciled dumpling noodles from the kitchen under the guidance of Xia's mother. Then, he turned around and prepared to clean up the card table of the four elders, but he didn't expect to see Xia Xia and Shu Chang also clean up the table, nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time was very relieved, these two children are really too sensible. He walked over, patted the two children's little heads, and said, "You two hurry up and wash your hands, didn't you cry and shout before that you want to learn how to make dumplings?"

"It's not just the two of them, you guys should hurry up and wash your hands!" Grandma Xia patted Xia's father's arm, "The dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve are to be wrapped by the whole family, and you guys have to get their hands on it." ”

"Yes, let's all go wash!" Father Xia didn't dare to do anything with Grandma Xia, smiled at her, and then grabbed the arms of the two children and walked to the bathroom on the first floor.

After resting for about twenty minutes, the whole family went into battle and began to wrap dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve.

Xia and Shu Chang because of their small size and not particularly great strength, they couldn't keep up with the speed of adults making dumplings, so Xia's mother rolled out almost twenty dumpling skins in advance, took a small basin and filled them with some vegetarian fillings, and let them sit on the side of the coffee table to wrap them. Although I am a little disgusted with the fact that there are too few dumpling skins in summer, I also know that with my current situation, it is good to be able to wrap all of these, but I can't have a big eye and a small belly.

"Have you ever made dumplings before?" Shu Chang held a dumpling skin in his hand, and looked at Xia Xia who seemed to be very confident with some nervousness, "I know your cooking skills are not bad, I guess making dumplings should be good, right?"

"Not really!" Xia used a spoon to put a large spoonful of stuffing in the middle of the dumpling skin, and shook his head a little proudly, "I haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?" Our family has made dumplings many times since the beginning of winter, although I haven't really started it, but I have also seen it many times on the side, don't worry, this is very easy, it won't be difficult for me. Summer said as she wrapped the filling inside with a dumpling wrapper according to the method she saw, and then pinched it hard, and a round, chubby dumpling appeared in the palm of her hand, but it was just ......

"Hahaha, the cowhide is blowing up, right?" Shu Chang pointed to the wild laughter of the summer meal, "Look at this stuffing leaking, if this is boiled in the pot, it will be ......" Shu Chang just wanted to say that it was broken, but then he thought it was wrong, now is the Chinese New Year, he shouldn't say this kind of word, it should be ...... "Earned! I look at this dumpling of yours, it will probably turn into a pot of soup in the end!"

"This isn't the first one, I'll wait for a few more practitioners. Xia Xia said, took another skin, this time he learned the lesson of last time, only put half of the stuffing from last time, and then pinched, sure enough, the stuffing inside obediently stayed where it should be, and did not rush to run out. Summer smiled smugly at Shu Chang, and took advantage of the victory to chase after a few more packs, although they all looked crooked, but none of them were really exposed. "Well, I'm a genius, right?"

"Yes, yes, you are the most genius!" Shu Chang looked at Xia Xia and took a photo of the wrapped dumplings and sent them to Bai Zhongqiu, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "My uncle also makes dumplings at home." ”

"I know!" Xia Xia smiled proudly, "I just just show off that I made it myself, although it is the first time to make dumplings, but my craftsmanship is still very good!"

"Narcissism!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"
