Chapter 57: Dumplings are wine
Mornings in the United States seem to be no different from those at home.
If I had to say something, it was that the air was indeed better than in China, and there was a special tranquility. Walking through the streets of the town, both passing vehicles and pedestrians passing by each other seem to follow the rules of silence.
Mark. Ford originally said that he wanted to take Wei Ting out to see the scenery after breakfast, but Wei Ting politely refused...... Before she was reborn, she had holidays every year, traveled around Europe and the United States, and was already immune to the scenery, but she was full of love for the quiet atmosphere of life in the town.
Walking on the streets of the town, it seems that they have become a part of the town's scenery.
Today at noon, she was going to make lunch and thank the Ford family for taking care of them...... Well, this is also a good way to win over partnerships, and most of the Chinese's friendships are done at the dinner table.
Witting's ability to remember the streets was superb, and when she was traveling from JFK to Corning Town, she discovered a wonderful thing, Zero...... That is, her portable biological computer, which is simply a super recorder, no matter where she passes, she can record it, although sorting out a map,
So...... It only took her ten minutes to find the biggest supermarket in town.
Originally, she wanted to make leek-stuffed dumplings, but unfortunately there were none, so she had to buy Chinese cabbage, lean pork and shrimp meat, and prepare to wrap three fresh dumplings, which is also a traditional Chinese delicacy, and many foreigners like to eat this bite, but they will not do it anyway.
"Hey, Way, why are you here?" Someone greeted behind her, Wei Ting subconsciously turned her head, but it was Joan standing there with a smile on her face, still carrying a bottle of red wine in her hand.
"I bought some ingredients and prepared to make dumplings for lunch." Wei Ting raised the shopping basket in her hand.
"Do you know how to make dumplings?" Joan looked a little surprised, but there was a look of interest in her eyes.
"Of course, I cook a lot of Chinese food, but unfortunately there are not all the ingredients here." Wei Ting was a little arrogant, she knew that these young people in the United States would make a sandwich, an omelette, or something, and it would be good.
"You're amazing!" Joan gave a heartfelt thumbs up.
"Joan, let's have lunch together?" Wei Ting suddenly asked, the people in the town are very hospitable, although they are also guests, but there is nothing wrong with inviting a friend to dinner...... Besides, the two sides also have a relationship, and it is possible to establish a cooperative relationship in the future.
"This ...... All right. Jason and Wade and I are very interested in your factory construction plan, so we just want to talk about it. Joan was pleased, and she found a good excuse, "And I have a bottle of red wine here." ”
Wei Ting really didn't know what red wine would taste like under dumplings, but she was not opposed to giving it a try.
Spices, flour, etc., Mark has them all at home...... Of course, don't expect dumpling powder or anything.
Wei Ting requisitioned the kitchen, she didn't find garlic, but she used other spices to make a delicious dipping sauce, and then began to make noodles.
"Wow! It's amazing! First Bully stood in the doorway and let out a cry of surprise, and then everyone else who had been in the living room came running.
The dough tumbled under Wei Ting's hands, changing into different shapes, and finally boiled down to an oblate circle, full of rhythm between movements, which was indeed beautiful. The last few people gathered around to look at the dough as if they were admiring some work of art.
"What are you doing here?" Jenny appeared at the kitchen door and asked suspiciously.
"Mom, Wei is going to make Chinese dumplings for us to eat today." Polly was the first to run over to Jenny.
"Chinese dumplings?"
Jenny took Bao Li's hand and walked over, looked at the dough curiously, turned her head and shouted to the living room, "Mark, Wei made Chinese dumplings for us to eat today." ”
"I love Chinese dumplings."
Mark. Ford even ran in to watch, and then another black head poked out of his shoulder...... Jason actually came over.
Well, being watched. However, Wei Ting said that she was very calm.
After the filling was finished, Wei Ting cut the dough into several pieces, then kneaded it into long snake-like strips and pinched into dough...... Don't look forward to the rolling pin, fortunately, she found a replacement, and it is no problem to use the rolling dumpling wrapper.
"Oh! The size is exactly the same! Wei, how did you do that? ”
Mark. From the perspective of technicians, Ford found that the round dumpling wrappers were not only uniform in thickness, but also almost the same size and thickness of each sheet, as accurate as assembly line products.
When they saw the dumplings like small ingots appear from under Wei Ting, several girls couldn't help it and expressed their desire to apprentice, so under Wei Ting's guidance, some strange-shaped dumplings were born...... Almost all the shapes imaginable in three-dimensional geometry can be found in these dumplings.
Thereupon...... From the beginning of the comment on who made the best dumplings, to who made the dumplings the most bizarre.
Well, Wei Ting was also drunk, and the dumplings she wrapped were rated as 'not in the flow' option in the 'weird shape' option. But no matter what, these East-meets-West dumplings are finally finished, and Wei Ting only hopes that when they are put into the pot, they will not be 'oblivion' - they will become a ball of paste.
Fortunately, although the manual work of those girls is not very good, the strength of their hands is not small, and the dumplings are very magnetic, and after they are fished up, they are all snow-white and crystalline, but they are not so ugly.
Needless to say, the taste of Sanxian dumplings is also comparable to the level of professional chefs, as the saying goes, dumplings are wine, and the more you eat, the more ...... Well, it's rare to use dumplings with red wine, it's really a pity - that's three fresh dumplings.
"Wei, are you really not staying any longer?" Wade asked.
"yes, you've just piqued our interest and left with another stack of picks, what should we do next?" Joan asked.
Jason didn't speak, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Ting, obviously wanting the answer as well.
"Well, I'm in a hurry, but you don't seem to have the funds, do you?" Wei Ting asked with a grin.
"Well, I have five hundred and forty dollars." Wade scratched his head.
"I have three hundred dollars." Jason raised his hand and said.
"I have six hundred and seventy dollars." Joan said with some embarrassment.
"So little......" Wade muttered.
Among the three, it seems that Joan's family is the best, her parents are both lawyers, and their income is quite good.
"I'm a girl, so naturally it costs more." Joan rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
