Chapter 25: The Master
When they got home, the two sisters began to work, Gu Xiaoqing taught Gu Xiaoying hand in hand, in Gu Xiaoqing's heart, she wanted to train her sister to be the main force in the family, after all, she had to rely on Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai, and her acceptance ability and learning ability were not comparable.
One of the two sisters picks leeks and the other chops meat filling.
Gu Xiaoqing's meat filling is filled with special secret ingredients, of course, this is the family secret recipe of the owner of the steamed dumpling shop back then.
However, these ingredients are some common materials and seasonings at home, and they are not novelty, but what people don't know is that the effect of these seasonings is not something that ordinary people can make.
It was very delicious.
Besides, the average rural person, this is the day when there is no problem with food and clothing, and they will pay attention to the satisfaction of the taste.
Besides, many families don't treat the weeds that grow on the mountains and the edge of the village as condiments.
Whoever cooks meat will consider whether to grab a handful of weeds.
So Gu Xiaoqing's seasoning is a secret recipe.
Gu Xiaoying had already finished the dough and put it aside to wake up.
Gu Xiaoqing pulled out a ball of dough with one hand, put it on the board, and began to knead it evenly into a thin strip of uniform thickness with his hands, and then pulled out a small ball of uniform size.
One by one, they are kneaded into a round one, and then pressed down, and they become oblate and round.
Holding a rolling pin in one hand and an agent in the other, he began to roll out evenly into a round dough.
"Yo he, both of them are wrapped."
Li Xuemei heard a burst of excitement in the kitchen just now, and thought that the two sisters would toss and wait for a while before going out, at least let these two little girls who don't know the height of the sky know that this food is not so easy to make.
Who knows, when the curtain is lifted at this time, what I see is that Gu Xiaoying is already skillfully rolling the dumpling skin, Gu Xiaoqing is holding the skin with one hand, putting the filling with the other, and then pinching it with both hands, a cage, and it becomes a beautiful dumpling.
is neat and tidy, like a woman who has been working for many years, and to be honest, the dumplings that Gu Xiaoqing wrapped out, with a bulging belly and a few pleats on the beautiful sides, are really indescribably good-looking.
Li Xuemei couldn't help but be amazed.
How smart this baby is.
You can do anything.
But I sighed in my heart, these jobs are really difficult for Gu Xiaoqing and them, after all, when I go to Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu for the New Year every year, I always have to make dumplings, and how many children will do it.
But when he was there, Gu Xiaoqing didn't have such a beautiful skill.
I think it's because the child feels that he doesn't have his own share, so he complains in his heart, how can he work hard.
"Mom, do you think our two bags look good?" Gu Xiaoqing put the dumplings in her hand and showed them to Li Xuemei.
Li Xuemei smiled and pinched Gu Xiaoqing's nose: "It's good-looking, counting you as a ghost, you know how to eat it in your heart." ”
Gu Xiaoqing smiled awkwardly, she couldn't say that she wasn't here to eat.
I really can't say this, at least I have to let my mother recognize my craftsmanship first, and then I can let Li Xuemei accept my own mention.
Gu Xiaoqing still thought that in the next few months in the second half of the year, let her family earn a little money, at least before catching up with the freeze, she had to repair the fire kang at home, the fire kang had already broken down, but she didn't have the money to get it.
Every winter, I suffer a lot.
This year, I was finally reborn, so what I need is to improve my family.
It's impossible to repair a house, it doesn't take 1,200 yuan, and you can't have that much money at once.
But at least repair the fire kang, change the bedding at home or something, and make a new cotton coat for the family, but my own cotton coat has been worn for five years, and the cotton in it is already hard.
This is still because my father and mother are afraid of the cold, and the cotton they picked up is continued in the cotton clothes of the three of them, otherwise it will be even worse.
But Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai's cotton clothes are not good, they have long become rotten tapestry, and they are not warm in winter at all.
Every winter, it is the hardest time for their family.
This time, Gu Xiaoqing didn't want to live like this.
The family should live a good life, be well fed and clothed, have money in their hands, not be rich and expensive, but also live a good life, worthy of this life's life.
Li Xuemei washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, took the rolling pin in Gu Xiaoying's hand, and began to roll the skin quickly.
Gu Xiaoying was assigned by Gu Xiaoqing to boil water, Gu Xiaoqing prepared some dumplings to make steamed dumplings, some to make fried dumplings, and some to cook and eat.
After all, it is to do business, if you cook dumplings, it is not easy to preserve, it is not good to prepare more at one time, if you can't sell more, it is a waste, and the taste is not good, and it is not good to keep warm.
But if it's steamed dumplings and fried dumplings, then it's easy.
Gu Xiaoqing wrapped the dumplings with two bamboo curtains before stopping.
"Mom, I'm going to make dumplings."
Li Xuemei just wanted to say that she would go by herself.
was stopped by Gu Xiaoqing.
"Mom, but I said it, today is to taste my craft, if it is done well, our family will do business with this, you don't let me do it, it won't taste good, then who's it."
Li Xuemei slapped Gu Xiaoqing's buttocks, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid of you, now you are getting more and more sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, no wonder your second uncle is suffering in your hands today." I can't mean you. I think in the future, I'm afraid that if you are in charge, we will be in charge. ”
It was originally a funny sentence, but Gu Xiaoqing replied directly: "Then I'll be in charge." If the provincial father and mother are soft-hearted, I don't want Xiaojie to grow up, or live in such a house, and even go to school to calculate, at least I want our family to live a good life. Live a well-fed, clothed and unbullied life. ”
Li Xuemei was stunned.
That's not a good thing to hear.
Whose big girl is her father's house.
It's not, it's not............
But these words are so true, Gu Xiaoqing's heart is good, and she wants to make the family live well.
What a simple wish.
Li Xuemei gritted her teeth secretly, "Your father won't agree, whose Nizi is in charge." ”
But what this means is that Li Xuemei agreed.
Gu Xiaoqingle jumped up, hugged Li Xuemei is mouthful, and regardless of his hands full of flour, he wiped Li Xuemei's face white and powder.
"Mom, just have your support for me. My father is in charge, our family's life is like this, I don't want to live like this all the time, at least whoever has the ability is in charge, this truth is right. It can't be because it's my father, we can live a good life, so we have to follow the lack of food and clothing. ”
