Before arriving home, Xiao Liuxiang fell asleep on Chen's back. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info arrived at home and placed him well, several people began to prepare dumplings under Xiao Han's command, ready to make dumplings that they had never seen before.

At home, there is still the flour left over from the steamed buns when the house was built last time, take out the flour and put it in a basin, add cold water, and knead the dough. Chen watched carefully, she had never made pasta, and Xiao Han taught her steamed buns last time.

After kneading the dough smoothly and softly, cover it with a clean cloth and let it rise for about two pillars of incense before use.

The next thing is to adjust the filling, men love meat, women love vegetarian, so Xiao Han is ready to make dumplings with two kinds of fillings: pork cabbage and vegetarian three fresh.

First, chop the pork, add salt, soy sauce and chopped green onions, and stir well in clockwise and counterclockwise directions. This is done by Chan.

Xiao Han and Zhang cleaned the cabbage together, drained the water, chopped the cabbage into a filling, put it in a pot, and salted it with a little salt to marinate the excess water. After a stick of incense, grab the cabbage into a ball with your hands and squeeze out the excess water. However, it should not be too dry, because there is no water in the minced meat, which just allows the cabbage juice to penetrate into the minced meat.

The next step is to mix the meat filling and cabbage filling well.

After doing this, the noodles also woke up. Take out the dough and put it on the cutting board, roll it into long strips, then cut it into small pieces, and roll it out with a rolling pin into a round skin that is thin on both sides and thick in the middle. This task had to be completed by Xiao Han, who was rolling dough while demonstrating to Chen and Zhang.

Next is to make dumplings. Xiao Han scooped up a little stuffing with a small spoon and put it in the middle of the dumpling skin, and with a flexible pinch of both hands, an ingot-shaped dumpling appeared in front of him. Zhang and Chen also hurriedly picked up the dough and learned the same, both of them are ingenious, after groping a few times, they slowly learned, and their movements became more and more proficient.

Seeing this, Xiao Han asked Chen to roll the skin, Zhang to make dumplings, and he went to prepare vegetarian three fresh fillings.

The three fresh vegetarian foods are eggs, leeks, and fungus. Soak the fungus in hot water first, clean it and remove the root and chop it; Chop the leeks after picking and washing. Then crack the eggs in a bowl, stir well with chopsticks, and cut the egg skin in a hot pan. Chop the egg skin, add the chopped fungus and leek, add chopped green onion and ginger, add salt and sesame oil, and stir together. The vegetarian three fresh fillings are ready, and then you can make dumplings.

Before the dumplings were wrapped, I heard laughter, slapsticks and footsteps, and it turned out that everyone had come back from planting seedlings.

The spring equinox rushed in and shouted: "Sister, are the dumplings all right?" I'm hungry. ”

"I don't think you're hungry, you're hungry." A cool voice came, and then a head poked into the door, it was Lixia. Ignoring his brother's sarcasm, he saw that there were fat and bulging white things like ingots on the grate, is this a dumpling, he stretched out his hand and picked up one and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

Xiao Han and the other three were shocked and exclaimed, "You can't eat it, put it down quickly." ”

The spring equinox was startled and was at a loss for what to do with the dumplings. Xiao Han was angry and funny, and stepped forward to grab it and put it on the grate: "This is raw, it has to be cooked before it can be eaten." ”

The vernal equinox was flushed with shame. Lixia slapped him on the head fiercely, "You are the reincarnation of a starving ghost!" ”

"My brother is right, even if he wants to eat one thing again, he can't be so anxious. Be reserved, reserved, you know? You're going to be the champion! I think you can call it a 'gluttonous champion'. ”

So, in the midst of everyone's good-natured ridicule, our future champion ran out with a red face like a monkey's ass.

"Need help?" A warm voice came, Han Guining's tall figure walked in, his eyes swept away, and he saw the chubby dumplings neatly arranged on the grate, and his eyes couldn't take his eyes off it.

A round dough appeared in front of him: "Okay, sit down and help." ”

Han Guining was just talking, but when he saw that Xiao Han was really coming, he said embarrassedly: "However, I won't do it." ”

"It's okay, I'll teach you, go wash your hands." Xiao Han encouraged.

Seeing this, Han Guining's heart warmed, nodded, walked to the basin, and slowly washed his hands and wiped them clean. sat on the small pestle next to him, took the dough handed over by Xiao Han, and slowly wrapped the dumplings with her steps.

In the kitchen, only Xiao Han's kingfisher-like voice echoed.

The man was dressed in coarse cloth, slowly wrapping dumplings with his head down, his movements were slow and graceful, and his face had a complex expression that seemed to be sad, nostalgic and joyful. The girl next to her is the cardamom years, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, vivid eyebrows and eyes, and she is talking softly.

That's how the years are quiet!

He Mu felt a tingling pain in his heart, quietly withdrew one foot that had entered the door, and turned away.

Xiao Han didn't notice it.

Han Guining inadvertently glanced up, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

However, the quiet and beautiful atmosphere did not last long before it was destroyed. The spring equinox led Xiao Liuxiang, who had just woken up, and walked in, followed by Chu Zhao, Lixia and He Mu, saying that they wanted to help make dumplings.

But it backfired, the clumsy man, and Xiao Liuxiang couldn't stop making trouble, screams and scolding came one after another, and the kitchen was in chaos.

Finally waiting for the wrapping to be finished, Xiao Han looked at the dumplings on the grate, large or small, and strangely shaped, and couldn't help but hold his forehead.

The culprit looked at her dark face, touched his head embarrassedly and smiled.

"I'll put your dumplings in a pot later, and you will eat them, but we won't eat them." Zhang said with a smile.

"Mother, I want to eat your bag." The spring equinox relied on himself to be the youngest child, holding Zhang's arm and coquettish.

The next step is to cook the dumplings. Put water in the pot first, bring it to a boil over high heat, then take an appropriate amount of dumplings and put them in the pot, and use a large spoon to keep pushing the water along the edge of the pot. The purpose of this is to prevent the dumplings from sticking and also to allow the dumplings to heat evenly. After the water boils halfway, order cold water twice, and when the dumplings are bulging and the dough becomes translucent, it is ready to cook.

At the spring equinox, a few people set up tables, chairs, and chopsticks under the grape trellis in the courtyard, and Chen and Zhang brought up the steaming dumplings. Because everyone was acquainted, regardless of men and women, they sat around, and Xiao Han brought three plates of sauce. This sauce is made by mashing garlic into a puree and adding some soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil.

After Lin Jincai caught the first dumpling, the spring equinox couldn't wait to pick up a dipping sauce and stuff it into his mouth, but he was so hot that he grinned and was reluctant to vomit, so he had to snort and pant, looking funny. So the future champion Lang was ridiculed by everyone again, and since then he has established a reputation as a foodie.

Han Guining tasted the dumplings carefully, only feeling that the taste was fragrant, and the taste seemed to be different from the depths of his memory, but it seemed to be a little the same. A warm current flowed into his heart, and the vacant part was filled, and he blinked his slightly astringent eyes and took a big gulp.

This is a dumpling made for himself, and Chu Zhao is also savoring it, but his speed is not slow. No way, there is a gobbling foodie next to him, if he eats too slowly, he should be gone in a while.

Xiao Han was stunned and looked at a few big and small men who were not humble, you fight for me, and the plate was at the bottom, so he had to get up and go to the kitchen to cook a pot.

The sun has set, the sunset has dissipated, and the stars in the sky have come out to dance with blinking eyes.

The men had eaten their fill, drank a little wine, and admired the moon in the courtyard.

The insects in the grass chirped, and Xiao Han held Chu Liuxiang and counted the stars under the grape trellis.

Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of small stars, hanging in the sky and shining, like many small eyes......

The singing voice was different kind of soft in the silent night, and it intoxicated several men with different thoughts.

I just want this moment to linger forever and ever.

……

Because of the help of the three martial arts masters, after three days of busyness, the fields of the Lin family and the He family were all planted. Han Guining and Han Chun reluctantly left, and He Mu, Lixia and Spring Equinox also started school.

At the strong request of the spring equinox, Chu Zhao began to train them every morning to send dark instruments. Xiao Han was particularly interested in this, she knew that girls were born to suffer in strength, so learning light skills and secret weapons was the best choice for herself. Light power is mainly for escape, and hidden weapons are for self-defense. Although he doesn't expect to be able to reach the realm of being like Li Tanhua, he wants to at least be able to deal with ordinary Xiaoxiao and have the ability to protect himself.

Chu Zhao also taught her to recognize acupuncture points and created a set of tiny plum blossom needles for her. In this way, if you encounter a bad guy in the future, you can surprise him and take the opportunity to escape.

This day is Mu Xiu, the beginning of summer and the spring equinox are at home, Xiao Han decided to implement the long-planned big event of digging ponds.

At the east end of the village, near the Qingshui River, there is an unowned marshland, about one acre. Xiao Han had already taken a fancy to it, the ground was wet and soft, easy to dig, and easy to divert water, so it was best to use it as a pond.

Lin Jincai brought a few catties of meat and two catties of wine to the village chief Tang Dahai and said that he wanted to buy land, Tang Dahai didn't say a word, only two taels of silver, and went to the yamen to complete the formalities by the way, which made Lin Jincai overjoyed and emotional.

Hearing that the Lin family was going to dig a pond, Lin Huidong, the son of the patriarch, brought a few clansmen to help, as well as Huang Erhu's father and son, He Mu, and several neighbors who were good friends with the Lin family.

According to the plan, the marshland is divided into two areas, one for ponds and one for lotus roots. The field where the lotus root is planted only needs to be dug shallowly to remove weeds and stones. The pond needs to be dug deep, about two meters deep, so that fish, snails and snails can be raised in it.

A load of mud came up, and then poured it into the field next to the lotus root to make fertilizer.

After the sun came out in the morning, the weather began to heat up, and the men all took off their shirts and worked hard shirtless. They raised their shovels high and made a beautiful arc in the air, falling heavily and turning up patches of dirt. The fine beads of sweat on his forehead slid down drop by drop, and the muscles on the tanned skin were tense and powerful.

Sure enough, the people who work are the most beautiful!

At noon, Xiao Han came over and called everyone back to eat, and when he saw this hot scene, he couldn't help but stop and appreciate the heroic posture of the ancient working people.

Although Chu Zhao was working, he also saw the six roads and listened to the eight directions, and he knew it when Xiao Han came. I wanted to greet her, but I saw her in an emerald dress, looking at the working neighbors with a smile on her face, a pair of small hands behind her back, wearing a white sun hat, and two braids fluttering lightly in the breeze. Just stood quietly like that, but Chu Zhao couldn't take his eyes off.

After a while, a crisp cry came: "Father, uncle, uncle, brothers, go home for dinner!" ”

The men stopped their shovels and dustpans, and the young man found himself shirtless, and hurriedly turned around to put on his clothes. Xiao Han smiled, urged, and trotted home like a light butterfly.

After a stick of incense, the people who worked went to the river to wash their hands and feet, talked and laughed and returned to the courtyard of the Lin family.

Three tables were set up in the courtyard, two for the men and one for the women.

The dishes are served on plates, braised pork, stewed pork ribs, and roasted pig's trotters...... The dishes were rich, and because I had to work in the afternoon, I didn't prepare wine.

The men still had a little mud on their trouser legs, and they were munching on their food and chatting loudly. The women whispered softly and laughed quietly.

After eating, and resting for a while, the men got up and continued their unfinished business.

After Xiao Han, Chen and the other helpers finished washing the pots and bowls, they didn't bother to take a breath and began to prepare the evening's meal.

At six or seven o'clock in the evening, when the sun set, there was another table of people in the courtyard of the Lin family, all of whom were chattering children.

The dishes for dinner are similar to those at noon, except that the staple food has two more things besides rice: dumplings and noodles, which makes everyone novel, and the children are the most excited.

Good food and wine, the men were full of wine and food, and they went away with hiccups. When it got dark, the women helped clean the pots and pans in the clear moonlight, and went home with the children and the rest of the meal. In particular, they learned two crafts today: making dumplings and rolling noodles. I thought that I would have the opportunity to show my skills in the future and make it for men and children.
