Chapter 358: Preface to the Exam (2)
When you're concentrating on one thing, time always flies.
As the bell rang, the quiet campus was full of laughter at the moment, because as soon as the bell rang, it meant the end of the day's classes, and of course, there were people who were slowly packing their school bags and showing unhappiness on their faces, because they had to stay and clean up.
The class took turns cleaning in groups, and it was the second group this week, and Gu Sisi and Mu Yingying were the third group in the class, so it was their turn the next week.
Gu Sisi was in a hurry to go home, so as soon as the bell rang, he collected his schoolbag, got up and prepared to leave, Mu Yingying thought that Gu Sisi was in a hurry to go home to see his younger brother, so she didn't worry about it, and followed Gu Sisi out of the classroom.
Not to mention Mu Wan'er and Mu Shanshan, with Mu Wan'er's temperament, and it coincides with Friday, if she is wearing a watch on her hand, it must be seen once a minute, so there is no need to say hello to Gu Sisi, the four of them and their classmates who have a good relationship say hello and leave the school.
Zhao Fei originally wanted to lend the tutorial book in his hand to Gu Sisi to read, but when he left the school gate, he took the direction of turning left to go home, while Gu Sisi and the others took the right direction.
Seeing Gu Sisi and them walking fast, he didn't have a chance to talk even if he wanted to, and there was still Tang Di behind him, so he had to shake his head helplessly, and in disappointment, he picked up his schoolbag and ignored Tang Di and left directly.
As for Tang Di, he didn't know if this kid didn't know how to look at his eyes or was stupid, he didn't feel that Zhao Fei was very unhappy at the moment, but he trotted forward like a brother, put his arm on Zhao Fei's shoulder and said how good the TV series he was watching recently was.
Gu Sisi must not be able to see this scene, but even if they do, Gu Sisi will not think much about it, after all, everyone is in the same class, and it is also appropriate to help each other.
As time passed, the sun gradually moved from east to west, and the temperature of the sun at this time was not as strong as at noon, coupled with the whistling north wind, the weather was still a little cold, and even the exposed hands could not help but retract into their sleeves.
Along the way, Mu Wan'er chattered non-stop, as if she didn't feel tired, and said word by word that she was going to watch TV this weekend and go to the town to catch the market, saying that her mother had promised to tear a piece of new cloth for her to make a coat.
Rao is talkative Mu Shanshan's ears were also a little explosive at the moment, and she replied directly, "What about the mid-term exam on Monday, you are still shopping!" This short sentence immediately made Mu Wan'er wilt like an eggplant beaten by frost, and she no longer lost the excitement just now, seeing that Gu Sisi and Mu Yingying both covered their mouths and laughed.
Although the road is not very spacious, it can be regarded as flat, and the towering aspen trees are planted on both sides of the road, but the leaves on the trees have long fallen off in this winter, leaving only bare branches, and the cold wind blows, the dust and fallen leaves on the ground are rolled up, and it looks a little bleak, but the wheat fields on both sides of the road are green and large, making this cold season look less stiff.
In her memory, she remembers a girl she remembered, who grew up in the city, and she didn't know the wheat seedlings that had just been planted, and said with a smile, how can there be so many leeks planted in this land!
When Gu Sisi heard it, not only was she stunned, but even a few people next to her were dumbfounded when they heard it, and it was also very speechless to recognize the wheat as a leek, I don't know whether to say that this girl is stupid, or if the book has been read in vain.
The four little girls walked briskly and soon left the village, and the four of them smiled and said goodbye to each other and went home.
When Gu Sisi returned home, her mother Chen Xinling had not yet returned from the county, and Gu Sisi was not surprised, looking at the time, her mother estimated that it would take an hour or two to get home.
She put down her schoolbag, first went to her grandfather's house to see her brother, looking at her brother's little red face, Gu Sisi thought that her brother's fever had not subsided, when grandpa told her that her brother had a fever, she was relieved to breathe a sigh of relief, and her worried heart was put down.
She gently covered her brother with the quilt, and walked out of the house with her grandfather, who did not delay for a moment, and walked to the stove to prepare for cooking after washing her hands. Because I want to make dumplings, I have to chop the stuffing and noodles, but when Gu Sisi entered the stove room, I found that my grandfather had done all this, looking at my grandfather smiling, Gu Sisi didn't say anything, tied up the apron and prepared for the next work.
In order to let his granddaughter do less work, the old man chopped the stuffing early and put it in the largest bowl, of course, he also reconciled the noodles and woke up on the stove, the temperature is low in winter, and the dough is not good, so the noodles that have just been reconciled are placed on the hot stove, and the dough can wake up faster by the temperature of the stove.
Because of the old lady's physical reasons, Gu Sisi stewed the pheasant first, although there was only half of the pheasant left, but it was enough, thanks to the blessing of Qi Zhenze, her family's meat has not been broken, and she can always eat pheasant meat and hare meat every once in a while, that is, Haohao and his brother have gained a lot of weight recently.
Gu Sisi is grateful, so when Qi Zhenze gave her those raccoon dog furs, she thought about using them for the Qi family, and when the fur was good, Gu Sisi made a vest for the old man of the Qi family, thinking that Qi Zhenze often went into the mountains, so he made him hats, gloves and scarves, and only hats and gloves for Arnold.
It's not that she favors one over the other, but her fur is limited, she also has to make vests for her grandfather, grandfather, master and Cui's grandmother, her parents, her eldest brother, and her brother, fortunately, there are a lot of hare furs stored at home, otherwise if you calculate carefully, those raccoon dog skins are not enough at all.
Gu Sisi skillfully scooped up the blanched chicken nuggets in the hot water, and was still thinking in his heart, he had to find a time to bring the finished things to the Qi family and the Cui family, now that the weather is cold, it will not be good to drag it out any longer.
The old man made the fire in the stove smaller, and then poured out the water that his granddaughter had blanched the chicken nuggets, brushed the pot clean, poured enough water, and waited for the granddaughter to pour the chicken nuggets into the pot again, and watched the granddaughter quickly put peppercorns, star anise, green onions, ginger slices, and dried chili peppers into the water where the chicken nuggets were placed, and then he covered the pot, and then added firewood to the stove, and the chicken soup had to be boiled first, and then stewed on low heat when the fire was boiled.
For his granddaughter's cooking skills, the old man is 100% trusted, don't look at his granddaughter's young age, but he really has nothing to say about cooking and stir-frying, thinking that his daughter-in-law is a good hand at housework, the old man also thinks that his granddaughter is genetic, so he doesn't think deeply, Gu Sisi is also happy, so she doesn't have to hide it, she can cook whatever she wants, of course, Brother Hao and Brother An are the happiest, after all, the two of them love to eat.
Gu Si quickly divided the reconciled dough into small balls one by one, kneaded them separately, the fillings were all made by grandpa, and then the dumpling wrappers were made.
Gu Sisi first sprinkled cornmeal evenly on the table, then took out a small dough from the resting basin, kneaded it first, and then kneaded it into strips about two fingers thick for adult fingers, and then took the agent cut into the same size, sprinkled the cornmeal and flattened it, and then took a small rolling pin to prepare to roll the skin.
Gu Sisi pinched the edge of the dough with his left hand, and rolled the rolling pin with his right hand while rotating the dough, and in a short time, the dumpling wrappers with thick in the middle and thin on the outside were rolled out.
Gu Sisi is very skillful, and soon rolled out a dozen dumpling skins, the old man was not idle at this time, washed his hands to pick up the dumpling skin and wrapped the dumplings, the first wrapped radish meat filling, and soon a formed ingot-shaped dumpling was ready.
There are many shapes of dumplings, such as triangular ones, four-cornered ones, ingots, crescent moons, purses, round ones, and so on. The old man made ingot-shaped dumplings, this kind of dumplings are very simple to wrap, first take a dumpling skin and put an appropriate amount of meat filling, then fold the dumpling skin in half and pinch it tightly, and then turn around and pinch the left and right corners hard, this package looks particularly like the ingots used in the past, so it is called ingots dumplings.
Gu Sisi's wrapping is simpler than the old man's, take a dumpling skin and put enough meat filling, pinch the middle of the dumpling skin tightly, and then use the left and right hands to jam both ends of the dumplings, and pinch the edge of the dumpling with your thumb.
Gu Sisi's movements were very fast, and after a while, the dumpling skin on the case was wrapped by the grandfather and grandson, and the old man saw that his granddaughter was wrapping it quickly and well, but fortunately he stopped rolling the dumpling skin, so that one person rolled the skin and one person wrapped it very quickly.
The temperature is low this winter, and the wrapped dumplings are too many to eat on the same day, and they can also be put on the next day, so the old man and the noodles are also more and more, plus there are two and a half children at home, and the old man has even prepared a lot of fillings, for fear that there will not be enough to eat.
When Chen Xinling entered the house, Gu Sisi and her grandfather had already wrapped two large plates of bamboo grate dumplings, and looking at the neatly arranged appearance, I was afraid that there were nearly two hundred.
Looking at the bamboo grate on the tile urn in the stove room, and looking at her daughter's skillful appearance of making dumplings, Chen Xinling's heart was both relieved and distressed, and she took it back after saying something.
The old man watched his daughter-in-law come back, so he stopped what he was doing, turned around and went to add some firewood to the stove, then handed over the stove to his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and walked out of the stove with his hands behind his back.
