Chapter 139: The Endemic Food of the North: Dumplings
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone into the house, it was already past nine o'clock. Please use this site.
Ziyan got up, pushed open the window, the wind whistled in, Ziyan tightened her neckline, and felt that the breath of this winter was even colder.
I was going home today, so Ziyan packed up her things, put them in the room, and then went downstairs.
"Mom, is there any breakfast?" Ziyan scratched her head, came down the stairs, and then asked Li Yu, who was busy in the kitchen.
Li Yu looked up and saw that it was Ziyan coming down, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I know that you are greedy, I specially went out with your little father to buy breakfast, otherwise, I can't carry it alone!" ”
Ziyan smirked, she was the happiest at Li Yu's concern.
"Mom, I'll go home in a while, I've been gone for so many days, why haven't I ever gone back?" Ziyan said to Li Yu while eating.
Li Yu was picking fennel at this time, it seemed that he was going to prepare dumplings, hearing Ziyan's words, Li Yu didn't raise his head, he concentrated on picking vegetables, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to go back today, I plan to make dumplings for you to eat, your favorite fennel eggs!" Even if you eat lunch and go back! ”
Ziyan looked at the mountain of fennel, smacked her lips, only felt a lot of saliva coming out of her mouth, and then nodded wildly and said, "Well, eat the dumplings and leave." ”
Li Yu seemed to know that Ziyan would say this, so he chuckled, shook his head, stopped talking, and continued to busy her.
Because there are many people, and there is purple smoke, the number of bags is far more than usual, Li Yu made the stuffing from seven o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock, and Shangguan Lei and noodles were mixed with two pots, and the whole two pots of noodles were placed on the dining table in the dining room to be particularly conspicuous.
Ziyan didn't pay attention to how they cooked, after all, making dumplings is a very great project, she just needs to eat it, as for the dumplings, she thinks she is hopeless!
It's not that she doesn't want to learn how to make dumplings. It's too difficult, the dough is soft, and I'm really afraid of kneading it into a ball in my hand. And the stuffing is even more hateful, put it in a small piece of dough, and pinch it, isn't that a fantasy?
After Ziyan reimbursed N noodles, she didn't learn at all, but she had the most patience to do these meticulous work.
After throwing it down, it didn't count, and he pouted and looked at the dumplings with contempt. said: "These useless things made by humans! ”
However, Huangfu Yi'er and Lusheng have learned to wrap this ingeniously a long time ago, Lusheng has always eaten human food, and Huangfu Yi'er later began to try under the pressure of Ziyan. Then we started eating with everyone.
"Purple smoke, smell it, how about the thin saltiness of this stuffing?" Li Yu was adjusting the stuffing, and he forgot how much salt he put in, so he had to ask Ziyan.
The saltiness of this stuffing is not something that can be tasted by taste. Plus the stuffing is raw, how to taste it?
Ziyan raised his head, sniffed it, and said, "It's okay, it's just right!" ”
Ziyan is very particular about eating, so you can smell the taste of the stuffing just by smelling it. In fact, it will be stirred when it is blended, and the intensity of the aroma of the stirring can reflect the saltiness of the filling.
So when everyone was busy making dumplings in the restaurant, Ziyan was the only one watching TV in the living room. As for what she was watching, Ziyan didn't bother to watch it, she just listened to the excitement, but in her heart, she was thinking about some complicated questions.
It's complicated. Maybe it's nothing to others, but it's nothing to Ziyan. There is indeed a big annoyance.
For example, she didn't know which tendon was wrong yesterday and actually agreed to Shangguan Lengyi's marriage proposal, and she is still at a loss, can she really marry a human as a wife?
What if God doesn't agree and splits yourself into scum? It doesn't matter if he is split into scum, if Shangguan Lengyi is split into scum, won't he regret it for the rest of his life?
Ziyan sighed, a certain head condensed tighter, grabbed a handful of melon seeds casually, and then put them on the table one by one, and muttered in his mouth: "Marry, don't marry, marry, don't marry......"
When the handful of melon seeds in his hand were placed on the table, the last one was "don't marry", Ziyan hesitated, took another handful, and started chattering again.
I don't know how many times I came and went, either to marry or not to marry, the chance was divided fifty-fifty, and Ziyan was angry and ordered to kill these melon seeds.
Squeak took the order, then got into the pile of melon seeds and began the clean-up operation.
Ziyan chuckled, she felt very tired recently, no matter who she was with, Ouyang Qing was, Huangfu Yi'er was, even with Shangguan Lengyi, she was a little under pressure. Only when she squeaks, she will smile happily and without pressure.
"Ziyan, it's time to eat!" Li Yu shouted.
Ziyan was stunned for a moment, glanced at his watch, it was already one o'clock at this time, and sure enough, in the case of a large number of people, Ziyan couldn't hold back a foodie, Ziyan, and after nearly three hours of work, it was finally done.
"But I'm so tired, I won't make dumplings anymore, my hands are sore, and my whole body hurts!" Shangguan complained ignorantly.
Yes, no matter who makes dumplings, it is strange to sit in one place all the time, maintain a posture, and not get tired.
Ziyan came to the restaurant with a squeak, everyone was cleaning up at this time, and the restaurant was cleaned up after a while, Shangguan put a few small bowls in the center of the table in ignorance, Ziyan looked at it, it turned out to be garlic, onions, sweet garlic and salted garlic.
Sweet garlic and salted garlic are a kind of pickle-like food unique to the north, which can be matched with any food, Ziyan's favorite food is sweet garlic, which is very delicious.
This kind of pickled garlic is available in almost every household, and after it is marinated in a large jar, it can be eaten at any time, and it can be eaten at any time after being fished out and peeled.
Li Yu placed eight small vinegar dishes in front of each seat, and then set up a pair of chopsticks and two vinegar pots.
As soon as Qiē was ready, Shangguan Lei was already in the kitchen and began to make dumplings.
Dumplings are also a technical job, to wait for the water to bubble small bubbles to start down, about thirty or so, and then use a large spoon to push along the bottom of the pot from side to side, all the way to maintain a movement, so that the dumplings in the pot in a circle will not fall to the bottom of the pot.
When the pot is about to overflow, add a spoonful of cold water at the right time, and when the pot is boiled again, the dumplings will be cooked.
Because it is a vegetarian dumpling, only half a scoop can be added when adding water.
When a pot of dumplings came out, there were three plates, and everyone rushed up, but fortunately, the purple smoke slowed down, so everyone still had something to eat.
A mouthful of dumplings and a mouthful of sweet garlic, Ziyan's little face wrinkled together with a smile, the happiest moment was nothing else, but eating with the people he cared about the most.
Li Yu ate almost after Shangguan Lei cooked five pots, and then replaced Shangguan Lei, and the dumplings were visually measured to have twenty pots, but Shangguan Lei and Li Yu didn't have any complaints, and their daughters would do some if they ate more! It's rare for a family to eat happily!
"Ziyan, how can you eat?" Li Yu asked with concern, she didn't ask if she was full, because she knew that Ziyan couldn't eat enough as a phoenix, so she had to ask like this.
"Well, it's good to eat, Mom, the dumplings you made are delicious!" Ziyan smacked her lips in satisfaction, stopped her chopsticks, and then stood up and kissed Li Yu's cheek and said.
"Sister Ziyan, it's not my mother who did it alone, why don't you just kiss her! I want it too! Shangguan smiled ignorantly, but when he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a coldness, and this feeling came from his elder brother Shangguan Lengyi.
"Well, when I didn't say it! Brother Leng Yi, it's time for you to go to the company! Shangguan was ignorant and hurriedly diverted the topic, just now he was really blinded by lard!
The corners of Shangguan Lengyi's mouth outlined a trace of arc, and said with a smile: "If you don't go today, send Ziyan back in the afternoon, and you will stare at it for another day today!" ”
"Huh? Still going? Don't, I don't want to go today, sleep at home for a day, run the company every day, I'm almost tired like a dead dog! Shangguan shook his head like a rattle in ignorance, and didn't wait for Shangguan Lengyi to say him, so he ran upstairs and hugged the pillow to take a nap.
Ziyan pulled Shangguan Leng Yi and said, "Doesn't it matter if you don't go to the company?" ”
"It's okay, I used to travel for half a month, and the company will run in an orderly manner, it's okay! Don't look at who your husband is! Shangguan Leng Yi smiled and took the purple smoke in his arms.
Seeing Shangguan Lengyi like this, Huangfu Yi'er and Luluo automatically ignored it, went upstairs to pack their things and prepare to go home.
Li Yu and Shangguan Lei still watched TV on the sofa as if they didn't see them, but the occasional glance in their eyes made Ziyan angry for a while.
"Who are you husband! Hum! Don't hold me, Mommy and Daddy look at us! Ziyan writhed in Shangguan Lengyi's arms, although the feeling of being held was very warm and warm, but in public, she would still be very awkward.
"Just watch it, what's it, if you have affection, you won't let it show?" Shangguan said coldly, "Also, you have agreed to marry me, naturally you are my wife, I am your husband, why, do you still want to admit it?" ”
"I didn't promise you, do you have any witnesses?" Ziyan smiled playfully, there were only the two of them in the living room last night, she didn't believe that Huangfu Yi'er and Luluo would talk to Shangguan Lengyi when they heard it.
Shangguan Lengyi coughed dryly, his feelings were so bad, he actually set him up here, no one was there at the time, where to find witnesses? Even if Huangfu Yi'er and Green Pothos are superb, will the two of them testify to themselves?
"It doesn't matter if there are no witnesses, my uncle and aunt are here today, and you are their daughter again, we have made a soul in front of their two elders, what do you think?" Shangguan Lengyi glanced at Shangguan Lei and Li Yu, and said in Ziyan's ear.
"No, another day, another day!" Ziyan dodged Shangguan Lengyi's fiery gaze, and was a little scared for a while.
Shangguan Leng Yi decisively pulled Ziyan and walked in front of Shangguan Lei and Li Yu, and then said: "Uncle, aunt, I ask your second elder to testify today, I want to marry Ziyan as my wife and love her for the rest of my life!" ”
To put it bluntly, engagement is actually an agreement, an agreement to a lover, and an agreement to marriage!
Ziyan looked at the resolute Shangguan Lengyi, and her heart seemed to be firm, and said, "I love you too!" ”
