Chapter 113: Making Dumplings
After buying the minced meat, they went to the supermarket where they sold alcohol. After buying some beer and water, we went to the checkout counter in the supermarket. Maybe it's because it's Saturday, and it's at the checkout counter in the supermarket at this time. But there was a long queue, although Zhang Tianqi and they found a cashier counter with relatively few people in line. When it was their turn, it was more than twenty minutes.
At the time of checkout, Zhang Tianqi planned to pay the money. But Li Chuang's mother didn't ask him to spend money, and his mother said to Zhang Tianqi: Xiao Qi, it's not easy for you to make money. There are also many places to use money, so you should keep the money for your own use. Your dad and I have pensions! And when Zhang Tianqi heard Li Chuang's mother say this, he was not embarrassed to insist on settling the bill by himself.
After coming out of the supermarket, Zhang Tianqi and the others walked home. When they walked downstairs to their house, Li Chuang found out. Zhang Tianqi parked a brand new bicycle in the bicycle parking lot downstairs of their house. Although Li Chuang was carrying the things he had just bought in the supermarket, he still came to the bicycle. First looked at the bicycle, and then Li Chuang set his eyes on his parents. Do you know who owns this bike? I haven't seen anything before.
When Li Chuang's parents saw their son's inquiring gaze, they glanced at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know what to do. Seeing Li Chuang's appearance, Zhang Tianqi came to Li Chuang's side with a smile. Xiao Chuang, you have a crush on this bike. After hearing Zhang Tianqi's words, Li Chuang said without thinking about it: I didn't like this bicycle. I'm just curious. It was the fool who bought this bike, and this fool didn't know that there was a shortcoming of this kind of bicycle itself.
After hearing what Li Chuang said, Zhang Tianqi said helplessly: I'm sorry. That fool you're talking about is me. Speaking of which, Zhang Tianqi thought about what happened when he rode this bicycle uphill. Now after hearing what Li Chuang said, he couldn't help but vaguely guess something when he thought of it. So he went on to say to Li Chuang: You said that this kind of bicycle has shortcomings, could it be that it is very difficult to ride when riding uphill?
Ha Luha, Ha Luha, it seems that Brother Qi you know the way. After Li Chuang heard Zhang Tianqi's words, he couldn't help laughing. Brother Qi. When did you buy this bike? Why didn't you tell me when you bought a car? Seeing Li Chuang's gloating look, Zhang Tianqi couldn't wait to go up and hit him twice. It's been three days since I bought it, even if I want to return it now. People won't necessarily give me a refund. Zhang Tianqi really didn't expect this bike to have such a shortcoming. Now it's a little late for him to know the Tao. Zhang Tianqi can only accept his life.
Okay, buy it all. It's useless to say anything else now, let's go home first. Li Chuang's father said to Zhang Tianqi and the two of them. After Zhang Tianqi heard Li Chuang's father's words, he followed them back home with some depression.
When you get home. Zhang Tianqi and Li Chuang put the things they were carrying behind the door. They went to the sofa in the living room and sat down. At this time, Li Chuang's mother began to put the two of them at the door. Categorized one by one. And put what should be put up, and put what should be in the refrigerator in the refrigerator. Later, Li Chuang's mother took the beef filling she had just bought in the supermarket to the kitchen.
After coming to the kitchen, Li Chuang's mother first poured the beef filling in a plastic bag into a small basin. Then she began to pick up the green onions, ginger and garlic that she put in the dumpling filling. After finishing all of this, they poured it into the small basin where the ground beef was just now and mixed it together. After reconciling the dumpling filling, she began to mix again.
Because the kitchen of their house was not stretched enough, Li Chuang's mother made the meat filling and noodles. There was a table in the living room. Put the freshly made minced meat and noodles on the table. began to make dumpling wrappers, when I saw Li Chuang's mother making these by herself. Li Chuang's father and Zhang Tianqi also joined in one after another. and Li Chuang's mother wrapped dumplings together.
Li Chuang still sat on the sofa and watched TV, perhaps because his parents were used to him since he was a child. As for cooking, Li Chuang still doesn't know anything. Zhang Tianqi is different from Li Chuang, not only can he cook home-cooked food. He knows what to do with dumplings, buns and so on. Isn't this now that he is following Li Chuang's parents and making dumplings together.
After seeing that Zhang Tianqi also came to help, Li Chuang's mother looked at Zhang Tianqi and said: Xiao Qizi, do you also make dumplings? Zhang Tianqi nodded, and picked up the dumpling skin that her old man had just prepared. And use chopsticks to make some filling in the dumpling filling, put it on the dumpling skin and wrap it. Soon he wrapped a dumpling, and when Li Chuang's parents saw him wrapping a dumpling. I couldn't help but praise Zhang Tianqi's dumplings, not to mention, the size is just right.
Xiao Qizi, who did you learn to make dumplings from, Li Chuang's mother couldn't help but ask curiously. Hehe, after hearing her old man ask this. Zhang Tianqi couldn't help but think of his parents who were still living in the countryside. And after seeing who his wife asked him to teach him to make dumplings, and found Zhang Tianqi's appearance at this time. Li Chuang's father shouted "broken" in his heart. I thought: Do you need to ask this? He must have learned it at home. My wife, why do you ask everything? Then he glanced blankly at his wife. Does that mean it still needs to be asked? He must have learned from his parents at home!
At this time, Li Chuang's mother also reacted a little, in fact, after she just asked this sentence. I regretted it a little. looked at Zhang Tianqi and then said: Xiao Qizi, do you miss your parents? If you miss them, go back and check them out. Don't treat us as outsiders, Xiaochuang and his father have always regarded you as their own son. If there is any grievance in your heart, if you have anything on your mind. Just tell us, don't fight it alone.
Zhang Tianqi has always believed that he is a strong person. But he didn't expect that after listening to Li Chuang's mother's words. His unassailable tears flowed out. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and when he felt his tears falling, he quickly lowered his head. He didn't know if Li Chuang's parents had found out that they were crying, and he thought it was best not to find out. After controlling his emotions for a while, Zhang Tianqi said: I learned from my parents when I was at home. I'm pretty good now, although I miss them a little. But I still have to work. Thank you, Mom, and Dad, for your concern!
At this time, in order to solve this embarrassing topic, Li Chuang's father said to Zhang Tianqi: Son, you have to drink a few more drinks with my father and me in a while. You don't have to work tomorrow anyway, so don't leave tonight. Let's stay at home. And Li Chuang's mother chimed in: Yes, son. When you eat for a while, you will spend more time with your dad and him and drink more. He hadn't drunk in a long time, and what else did he say. I can't see that you're not even in the mood to drink anymore, and you don't laugh when you say what he says. She laughed as she spoke. After hearing his wife's words to cooperate with him, Li Chuang's father then said: Was it originally? My son doesn't drink with me, so what's the point of him drinking by myself. Xiao Qi, are you right?
Hearing what the old couple said, Zhang Tianqi finally laughed. Well, it's time for dinner. Son, I will definitely drink with you. At this time, Li Chuang, who was watching TV, said to the three of them: I said, can you three hurry up. I'm so hungry that I don't know if I haven't eaten in the morning.
You deserve to be hungry, who told you to wake you up in the morning to eat. You don't eat it, and now you know that you're hungry. Didn't you just buy bread and milk in the supermarket, and you wouldn't have eaten it yourself? After hearing Li Chuang say that he was hungry, Li Chuang's mother said without even looking at him. I don't want to eat it, I just want to eat the dumplings you made. Who has dumplings that don't eat, eat bread. I'm not that stupid. Then you just wait, after saying this, Li Chuang's mother ignored him.
Zhang Tianqi followed Li Chuang's father to make dumplings for a while, looked at Li Chuang's mother who was chasing the dumpling skin, and said: Mom, give me a while. You rest first, my dad and I can finish it anyway. As she spoke, Zhang Tianqi took the rolling pin from her old man's hand. looked at Zhang Tianqi, who took the rolling pin from his hand, and caught up the dumpling skin. Li Chuang's mother said to her husband: It would be nice if Xiao Chuang could have one-tenth of Xiao Qi. yes, who's to say it's not. Xiao Chuang, this kid has made us both spoiled. Now I can't manage it even if I want to, but fortunately, God gave us such a sensible son as Xiao Qi.
Hearing their words, Zhang Tianqi couldn't help but smile helplessly. Mom and Dad, in fact, Xiao Chuang also has his good side. It's just that you haven't found it yet, in fact, Xiao Chuang is also very good. Don't always see my strengths, I also have weaknesses. It's just that you didn't find it now, and if you find out in the future, don't blame me then. Hey!
You still have shortcomings, and I see from your dad that your shortcomings are too many advantages. After Li Chuang's mother heard what Zhang Tianqi said, she joked. Mom, you and my dad. You think I'm so good, I'm as good as you say. Zhang Tianqi said to her old man with some embarrassment. Zhang Tianqi and Li Chuang's parents were chatting, and they quickly wrapped all the dumplings.
After seeing that the dumplings were wrapped, Li Chuang's mother said to Zhang Tianqi and her husband: Okay, you two grandfathers. Let's sit on the couch for a while, and I'll go boil the dumplings now. (To be continued......)
