Chapter 570: Making Dumplings
In the kitchen, Wang Xiao mixed the meat filling into the sauerkraut, constantly stirring it vigorously, exuding bursts of aroma.
Zheng Fei stood aside and looked at it seriously, and said with a feeling of amazement: "Wang Xiao, you are so amazing." I didn't expect you to mix stuffed dumplings, I thought you would only stir-fry vegetables and steamed rice, but today I saw your skills again. ”
"Just kidding, I've been making dumplings since I was a kid. I didn't learn to stir-fry until I got to know you. Our living habits here are actually different from those in Jiangcheng. We generally eat pasta here, and we are not very particular about stir-frying, generally stir-fry the vegetables and seasonings together, and there are not as many tricks as you stir-fry and eat rice. As for pasta, I'll get it. Noodles, dumplings, these are all small meanings, I even steamed steamed buns. But that was when I was a child, and now I can't necessarily steam well, it's been a long time ago. Wang smiled faintly, his heart was full of pleasant feelings, recalling the joy of learning to cook when he was a child.
"Why haven't you made dumplings for me before? I smell so good! Zheng Fei said coquettishly.
Wang smiled and said, "Isn't that taking care of your taste?" I'm okay with rice and pasta, but I'm afraid you can't get used to eating pasta. Moreover, the flour in the south is not strong, and the taste is not very good, so it is better to eat rice. ”
Zheng Fei happily hugged Wang Xiao's waist from behind, leaned on Wang Xiao's shoulder with a sweet smile, and said in a dreamlike voice in heaven: "It's so good, I can taste the pasta you made today." I must eat a little more today, and I can't live up to the amount of thought you have put into it. ”
Wang smiled and said teasingly: "You have to figure it out!" I'm not making dumplings to let you taste my craft, I want to cook a good meal for my parents. I was no longer with them for many years, and I was not able to take care of them. So, every time I go home, I want to be able to cook two meals for them, so that they can also experience my filial piety. ”
Zheng Feijiao said angrily: "Then I don't care." As long as I can eat the dumplings you made, then I will be very happy. ”
"Well, that's for sure, I'm not going to let you go hungry. Here, give you a taste, how does it taste? ”
Wang Ba picked out a little meat filling with chopsticks, turned around and sent it to Zheng Fei's mouth.
Zheng Fei opened his mouth and ate it, savoring it.
"Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious, it's just a little salty."
"That's right. We eat a little salty here, and if you think it's a little salty, then it's okay to deal with it. Don't be angry, I rarely cook for my parents, and I want to make them as happy as possible. ”
"I'm not angry, I'm so happy. You are so filial, it means that you are a good person, I am not wrong about you. ”
"Today you have to be a little wronged, let you eat a little salty."
"It's okay, I'll just drink more water."
"Well, I'll serve you more dumpling soup then."
"Wang Xiao, when your parents eat the food you cooked, they will definitely be happy, right?"
"Of course, even if I don't make it good, they will like it very much, and they will have a lot of fun and satisfaction."
"I haven't even cooked for my parents!" Zheng Fei was a little lonely as she spoke, and she felt very regretful.
"It's okay. You also have credit for giving me a hand. Wang smiled comfortingly.
"I said my parents!" Zheng Fei explained.
"Oh," Wang Xiao suddenly understood. "That's different. Like our children from poor families, we don't have anything to honor our parents, so we can only cook a good meal for them or something. If you have a nanny and a cook, you don't need to cook. As long as you live happily and always care about your parents, you are doing your filial piety. How so? We are all filial people, but the way of filial piety is different, and this does not have to be confined to the form. ”…,
"Hmm!" Wang smiled and said that Zheng Fei was very comforted.
After mixing the meat filling, Wang Xiao rolled out a few pieces of dough and taught Zheng Fei to learn to make dumplings.
Zheng Fei is quite ingenious and quickly learned to make dumplings, but the appearance of the dumplings is not very good
Dumplings must be full to look good, and most of Zheng Fei's dumplings are flat.
But for her, this is already precious.
When she was halfway packed, Li Lan came back from outside, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted when she saw her son and future daughter-in-law breading dumplings in the kitchen: "Ouch, what are you doing here?" If you want to eat dumplings, I'll wrap them for you. How did you guys do it yourself? Come, come, don't get it, I'll wrap it for you. ”
Li Lan pulled Zheng Fei and wanted her to rest, Zheng Fei sat still, and said with a smile: "Mom, Wang Xiao said, he came back once rarely, and he wants to make dumplings for you to eat." Since he wants to be filial, of course I want to help, how can I watch from the sidelines? Don't do it today, just let me and Wang Xiao wrap it, what do you think of my bag? ”
"Well, it's good, it's good." Li Lan looked at Zheng Feibao's flat dumplings, and smiled happily on her face. "This girl just can speak, Wang Xiao has such a clever mouth as you, I have never heard him say filial piety."
Zheng Fei smiled: "Although he didn't say it, he is doing it!" ”
"Yo, you can help him speak.7 Okay, well, there should be a talking man by his side." Li Lan smiled happily, went under the faucet to wash her hands, and went to Zheng Fei's side to make dumplings with Zheng Fei.
The dumplings in Li Lanbao are so full of filling, they look extremely good.
Zheng Fei couldn't help blushing shyly when she saw it next to her, compared to Li Lanbao's dumplings, she didn't wrap them well. Just now Li Lan said that she had a good bag, but she was just polite. Or, Li Lan is really happy. It's just that it's not because the dumplings she makes are good-looking, but because she is willing to make dumplings with her hands, which is very difficult
Moreover, Li Lan makes dumplings very quickly. With the sharp flipped of her two hands, she could wrap one in the blink of an eye, completely different from her caution.
She hasn't wrapped one dumpling yet, but Li Lan has been able to wrap three.
Zheng Fei admired it in her heart, and thought that Wang Xiao was so hardworking, it turned out to be a family heirloom!
"Mom, you're so fast, so good, do you have any tricks? Teach me. Zheng Fei humbly asked for advice.
Hearing that Zheng Fei was so studious, Li Lan smiled happily. Today's young daughter-in-law, who is willing to do housework, let alone take the initiative to learn to do housework, then it is even more rare to be a good daughter-in-law.
"Come on, like this, put the meat filling in the middle and close the skin, pinch the ends with both hands, and squeeze it into the middle." Li Lan said as she demonstrated to Zheng Fei, and soon wrapped another dumpling.
Zheng Fei carefully observed and studied, and soon made it look like it.
"Yo, Fei Fei's hands are so skillful, she learned so quickly." Li Lan praised happily.
"That's a good mother's teaching!" Zheng Fei smiled sweetly.
"Gong, my girl really can talk." Li Lan was even happier.
Wang Xiao saw Zheng Fei's mother happy, and his heart was quite happy, and he interjected with a smile: "Listening to what you said, it seems that I can't teach you well, and I will tell you the same way, okay?" ”
Zheng Feijiao said angrily: "But the dumplings you wrapped are also flat, I thought the dumplings were wrapped like this!" ”
Hearing Wang Xiao and Zheng Fei bickering, Li Lan laughed happily and said: "Wang Xiao can't make dumplings, usually he just rolls dough." In fact, it doesn't matter if the bag looks good or not, as long as you eat it in your mouth. This is a skilled job, as long as you get used to it, you can naturally wrap it. When you have time outside, you can wrap your own food, don't always eat frozen dumplings and things that don't taste good, and wrap them yourself. Actually, making dumplings is quite simple, as long as you mix the meat filling and mix the dough, you can wrap it. You don't have to wrap too much if you only have two people, just wrap three bowls of fifty or sixty dumplings, and you will be able to wrap them in no time. ”…,
Li Lan babbled Wang Xiao and Zheng Fei, and the two of them didn't feel annoyed at all when they heard it, on the contrary, they could both feel their mother's love. This is rarely experienced when they are separated from their parents and live alone.
Especially Zheng Fei, her mother is a strong woman, who is busy with business all day long, and rarely says such common words. At this moment, she heard these homely words from Wang Xiao's mother, and she really felt extra kind and warm.
In fact, Zheng Fei feels that her mother also loves her, but not as warm as other mothers.
Perhaps, as Wang Xiao said, because the family environment is different, the way of expression is different.
Soon, the dumplings were wrapped.
Wang Xiao put water in the pot, then turned on the gas stove and prepared to cook dumplings.
Zheng Fei reminded: "Dad hasn't come back yet." Wait for him to come back and cook dumplings! ”
Li Lan smiled: "No. He went home for dinner when the time came. Wash your hands and go out to rest, just let me cook the dumplings, and you can eat the hot and fragrant dumplings later. ”
Wang Xiao cleaned up the panel, and washed the flour on his hands with Zheng Fei. Zheng Fei didn't know how to do it, not only did she have flour on her hands, but she even had it on her face and hair. Then, Wang Xiao poured some vinegar into the porcelain dish and put some sesame oil on top of the vinegar.
This is the local standard way of eating dumplings.
If it is in Jiangcheng, people will put some chili peppers in the seasoning when they eat dumplings. That's because Jiangcheng is a hot and humid weather, and people are used to using chili peppers to remove dampness and heat, so it is not easy to get various rheumatism.
In Wang Xiao's hometown, the climate is relatively dry, and people generally don't eat chili peppers.
It's not that you don't eat it absolutely, it's just occasionally used to make seasonings, and it's not as common as it is used in Jiangcheng.
If you are in a dumpling restaurant, you will have more seasoning for eating dumplings. In addition to vinegar and sesame oil, there are also chili peppers, garlic paste, leek flowers, sesame sauce and so on. That's to cater for different tastes, and make your own according to your personal tastes.
Zheng Fei usually eats chili peppers, but as a beauty, she is more particular about her diet. After getting rid of the hot and humid environment of Jiangcheng, if you eat too many chili peppers, you may get angry and have small pimples and the like. Therefore, Zheng Fei is very restrained in her intake of chili peppers, and it is not essential to eat chili peppers at every meal.
The so-called eating chili pepper can be beautiful, which is limited by the geographical environment.
In places where the weather is hot and humid, as soon as the beauties sweat after eating chili peppers, they will expel the toxins in their skin, and their skin will look delicate, fair and good-looking. But if it is in a dry place, after eating chili peppers, the fire cannot be discharged, then it may accumulate into small acne on the face, which will greatly affect the appearance, and the gains outweigh the losses!
"What about cooking dumplings?" Suddenly, Wang Qing's voice rang out outside the kitchen.
Zheng Fei couldn't help but smile.
It seems that Wang Xiao's mother knows Wang Xiao's father very well, and she is really the one who will go home for dinner at the end of the day!
Zheng Fei feels that this kind of living habit is really different from their family, because her parents are busy with business, so their family has to eat together, which can only be done by making an appointment in advance. Like this tacit understanding to eat at the point, it is almost impossible in their house, because it is inevitable that someone will have a party.
Wang Xiao's parents lived a leisurely life. Sunrise and sunset, dinner at sunset, work and chat. Her parents lived a stressful life, busy with business every day. Relatively speaking, Wang Xiao's parents live a more family-like life, warm, down-to-earth, and loving.
Zheng Fei likes this feeling.
At this time, Zheng Fei was more able to understand why Wang Xiao preferred to hire professional managers and take himself out of the busy business. Because Wang Xiao is used to this kind of leisurely and simple life. …,
"Well, Dad, you wait in the restaurant, it's ready to cook in a minute." Zheng Fei said with a smile.
"Hmm." Wang Qing simply replied and disappeared from the kitchen door.
Soon, the dumplings were cooked.
Watching the white dumplings tumbling in the water, Zheng Fei really had a sense of accomplishment.
It's not easy!
That's the dumplings she wrapped, what an amazing thing!
Li Lan took the cooked dumplings from the boiling pot and put them in the bowl, and then handed them to Wang Xiao, who was waiting on the side. After serving two bowls in succession, Wang Xiao continued. Zheng Fei was beside him, and he also wanted to go out with dumplings. Li Lan persuaded: "Don't serve it, just let Wang Xiao serve it, you go to the restaurant to eat!" ”
Zheng Fei smiled: "It's okay, I can do it." ”
Wang Xiao walked outside the kitchen with the dumplings, and thoughtfully explained, saying, "Mom, you give Fei Fei a bowl of soup and water." Their food was relatively light over there, and the meat filling was a little salty for her today. ”
"yes, okay." Li Lan responded with a smile, and said: "Since Fei Fei likes to eat lighter, then you should make the stuffing lighter, why do you have to put so much salt, it's not good to eat too much salt."
Zheng Fei smiled: "Isn't this dumpling made for parents today?" ”
Li Lan smiled happily: "This girl is really good at talking." ”
Li Lan took another bowl and filled half a bowl of dumplings in the bowl. He put down the fence again, picked up the spoon, and the spoon contained two spoonfuls of dumpling soup. Zheng Fei stretched out her hand to serve it, but Li Lan stopped her and persuaded her: "Don't serve it, this is hot." Wait for Wang Xiao to serve, you can just eat, and I will cook the remaining dumplings. The pot is a little smaller. ”
Li Lan put a bowl of dumplings with soup and water on the board next to her.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Xiao turned into the kitchen again and picked up the bowl of dumplings with soup and water.
"Be careful, hot!" Zheng Fei reminded.
Wang smiled and said, "Your fine skin and tender meat will be burned, but my rough skin and thick meat are fine." ”
"Hate, what do you say?" Zheng Fei's face flushed shyly, and she looked at Wang Xiao's mother. Li Lan didn't seem to hear the two of them, and she was concentrating on putting dumplings in the bowl, which comforted her a lot.
Li Lan put another bowl of dumplings in Wang Xiao's hand, and said, "Okay, you all go out, I'll just take out a little left." ”
Wang Xiao came out of the kitchen with dumplings, and Zheng Fei followed beside him to the restaurant where they were eating.
Zheng Fei took a bite of the dumplings she wrapped, and the fragrant taste was extraordinarily strong, directly from her mouth to her heart, which was even more fragrant than what she ate in a high-end restaurant. People say that they cook and eat deliciously, and that's right!
"It smells so good!" Zheng Fei praised it and asked, "Dad, are you eating to your stomach?" ”
Hearing Zheng Fei ask like this, Wang Xiao was so happy in his heart! He wouldn't say anything like this to his parents. I don't say why, anyway, he is clumsy and won't ask his parents such things. Now that Zheng Fei is asking, it is like asking on his behalf, it really warms my heart. Who would be unhappy to marry such a daughter-in-law?
"Well, that's good." Wang Qing showed a slight smile on his face.
When ordinary people talk to Wang Qing, Wang Qing's face is more serious, and only Zheng Fei will show a smile.
For Zheng Fei, the future daughter-in-law, he is very satisfied in his heart.
Zheng Fei is beautiful, and for a farmer like him, that's nothing. But Zheng Fei is a good-tempered person, if he can get along with his son, and can give him the face of the royal family in front of people, then he will be 100% satisfied. If you look good, just look like a person, but don't go up to people, that kind of person is unacceptable.
Hearing Wang Qing's praise, Zheng Fei felt warm in her heart and felt that this busy work was not in vain. …,
But then Wang Qing said another sentence, which made her blush with embarrassment.
I saw Wang Qing pulling a flat dumpling with chopsticks, and said: "Wang Xiao, your level of making dumplings is getting worse and worse. The edge of this dough is not tightly pinched, and if it is boiled for a while, it will be broken, and this dough will be rolled out well. ”
Li Lan happened to come out of the kitchen with another bowl of dumplings and said, "I can't stop your mouth when I eat." Be content! This dumpling is made by Fei Fei. It's good that she's willing to make dumplings for you, and you still pick and choose. ”
"Oh, is it? The bag was pretty good. Well, yes, it's good to wrap it up like this for the first time. "Wang Qing's attitude changed very quickly. Zheng Fei couldn't help but wonder when she looked at it, she thought that Wang Xiao's father was saying kind words, but looking at Wang Xiao's father with a happy smile, it didn't seem like he was saying kind words, but he was really happy.
Just when Zheng Fei was wondering, I saw Wang Qing pick up the vinegar bottle and pour some into the bowl, then walked outside with the rice bowl, and said with a smile: "Such delicious dumplings, I want others to know about them." "To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. TPS: I'll be sending out a new book in two days, so let's say a few words. In fact, I have been preparing a new book, and I have scrapped a lot of manuscripts, almost two or three hundred thousand words. I don't know what the effect of the current manuscript will be like when it is sent out.,Slowly improve it.,I hope you support.。 Thank you.
