Halfway through the dumpling competition, I don't know whether I was studying or having fun, in short, the scene was chaotic. In comparison, Zhou Suhe and Song Xiangwan can be regarded as clear-sighted, while Mo Zhengyan and Song Qiyue are much more miserable. One is easy to come by, the other is unscrupulous, in short, those finished products are crooked.

Halfway through, Sister-in-law Zhao came out to see their progress, and she smiled at this look, "You guys, these dumplings are wrapped like this, I'm afraid that the pot will fall apart after a while." ”

"Huh? Why? Song Qiyue asked.

Sister-in-law Zhao pointed to a few bulging dumplings in Song Qiyue's hand and said, "There are so many fillings, it must not work." ”

"If the edges of these few are not pinched well, they will scatter." Sister-in-law Zhao pointed to Mo Zhengyanbao's ones again.

"Sister-in-law Zhao, what about me?" Song Xiangwan asked.

Sister-in-law Zhao took a look, and she smiled, "This is barely possible." ”

"What about Sukh's?" Song Xiangwan asked Zhou Suhe about the ones at hand again.

Sister-in-law Zhao picked one up and held it in the palm of her hand, she couldn't help but praise, "This dumpling is very good, but it's a pity that this dough is bigger." ”

"I've picked the smallest bowl of this one!" Song Qiyue hurriedly said, but it looks like the dumpling skin is still bigger than the usual wrappers.

Song Xiangwan frowned, "What should I do?" After wrapping for a long time, there are only a few of them, and it will definitely not be enough to eat for a while. ”

"I still have a dish stewed in the pot, it's just idle, I'll come with Lao Zhao." Sister-in-law Zhao smiled, and she directly called Foreman Zhao together.

As soon as the husband and wife washed their hands, they also occupied a corner of the table, and began to make dumplings.

The four of them watched from the sidelines.

Don't look at Foreman Zhao is usually a tall man, and when he wraps up dumplings, his hands are very fast, and he is very neat. The kneaded dough becomes a long strip, and with a knife everything becomes a small piece. Rub it with your hand again, it will be flattened, and Foreman Zhao is very particular about rolling dough, with a thick edge in the middle and a thin circle.

He rolled out a piece of dumpling skin and put it aside, and then Zhao's sister-in-law picked it up, wrapped it in the meat filling, pinched it in the center, and then pinched it on both sides, her action was very fast, and it was pinched at once, and finally the two sides of the dumpling skin were gently squeezed, and the dumplings were divided by two and became shaped.

The two husbands and wives rolled the dough and made dumplings at the same time, and the division of labor and cooperation was just a blink of an eye, and a row of dumplings stood there.

The four of them were stunned, and Song Xiangwan exclaimed, "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law Zhao, your craftsmanship is amazing!" ”

"Sister-in-law Zhao, why did you let Brother Zhao use this to make dumpling wrappers, and we have to take the bowl?" Song Qiyue asked curiously, the bowl in her hand was still there, but Sister-in-law Zhao asked her to get it just now.

Sister-in-law Zhao smiled, she didn't need to look at the dumplings when she made dumplings, she looked up and said, "The nephew and daughter-in-law of the old Zhao family, the daughter-in-law married in the south, she used this to roll out the dough, I see that you two girls must not have done it, so let you do it, save trouble." ”

At the moment, everyone understood that Sister-in-law Zhao was thinking of a way for them.

"No wonder, I wonder how can this be!" Song Qiyue suddenly brightened, lowered his head and sighed, "Hey, what are we going to do with these dumplings?" ”

"It's all down for a while, whether it's good or not, let's eat it!" Foreman Zhao said with a smile.

So the four of them wrapped all the remaining dumpling wrappers in their hands, and then looked at Brother Zhao and Sister-in-law Zhao, who had already wrapped several rows of beautiful and neat dumplings.

The dumplings are finally all packed, and they are about to be cooked, Song Qiyue looked at the works on the table, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I look at today's competition, Brother Zhao and Sister-in-law Zhao are the first place!" ”

"It's time to do it." Mo Zhengyan is also the way.

Song Xiangwan also smiled and nodded, while Zhou Suhe gave them a thumbs up.

The dumpling contest came to an end, and the pots and pans on the table were immediately removed, and Song Qiyue and Song Xiangwan helped bring all the dishes that Sister-in-law Zhao had just cooked from the kitchen to the table. Song Xiangwan was holding a big bowl of soup, she was afraid of being hot, so she almost didn't hold it steady, "Su He, come and help me......"

Zhou Suhe hurriedly got up, took a handful for her, and put the bowl on the table. He turned around again and went to look at Song Qiyue.

Song Qiyue had already served the two dishes in his hand, and walked in front of Mo Zhengyan, "Why are you like a Lafayette?" You see everybody's busy, and you're sitting here alone. ”

"I'm busy, too." Mo Zhengyan said with a smile.

Song Qiyue lowered his head and asked, "What are you busy with?" ”

All he had in his hand was peanuts, and he was sitting here peeling peanuts. But who expected, immediately, he actually took out a red bag from the big coat he was wearing. The bag was in the pocket inside, and she didn't see it at all.

At this moment, Song Qiyue was stunned, but when he saw the red bag, there were peeled peanut kernels, with the pale red peanut clothes, one by one very full.

He handed over a small bag of peanut kernels, "Take it." ”

"For me?" Song Qiyue still asked.

"I'm not as lazy as you." Mo Zhengyan read a sentence, and Song Qiyue happily took it.

Zhou Suhe was silent, Song Xiangwan didn't speak, but her gaze was silent, from their bodies to his body, she suddenly shouted, "Suhe, I want to eat oranges, you peel one for me." ”

Zhou Suhe nodded, took an orange and peeled it for her.

The dinner in the evening was also officially opened after Zhao's sister-in-law brought the boiled one, with several side dishes to match, the main food was dumplings, plus a few glasses of wine, it was very hearty. These days, they travel far to the mines, and they eat very simple food, and today's dinner is simply a big meal.

"How long has it been since you had a proper meal?" Mo Zhengyan saw that she was eating so happily and gobbling it up, he couldn't help asking.

Song Qiyue swallowed a mouthful of dumplings and said, "It's not that I haven't eaten well, it's that I haven't eaten so delicious." ”

Mo Zhengyan looked at Song Xiangwan again, she has always paid attention to ladylike etiquette, and she was slightly in a hurry to eat at the moment, it seemed that she was really hungry.

"These days outside, of course the two girls can't stand it, today they are open to eat, there are a lot of dumplings!" Foreman Zhao said with a smile.

Eating dumplings, everyone also looked for which ones were the unfinished works they packed. It's just that this dumpling is in the pot, and it's almost the same after picking it up, but you can vaguely tell whose masterpiece it is.

Song Qiyue smiled, "You know that this is your bag at a glance!" ”

The dumpling in the bowl, the rim pinched thick and wide, is his masterpiece.

"Yours isn't much better than mine." Mo Zhengyan raised his eyebrows.

"Suhe, I've got your bag." Song Xiangwan smiled and showed him the dumplings in the bowl.

Zhou Suhe saw that it was indeed him, he smiled, and looked down at the bowl in his bowl. There are also dumplings made by Song Xiangwan, and dumplings made by Song Qiyue. He picked it up gently, and ate it slowly, as if he wanted to taste it.

"Hmm!" Suddenly, Song Xiangwan froze!

"What's wrong?" Zhou Suhe asked.

Song Qiyue and Mo Zhengyan also looked at the past suspiciously, not knowing what happened, Sister-in-law Zhao smiled, "Did you eat it?" ”

"What did you eat?" Song Qiyue was even more curious.

I saw Song Xiangwan spit out a five-dime coin, and the bronze coin was in the spoon, "What is this?" ”

The four of them were curious, and Foreman Zhao said, "We make dumplings here for the New Year's holidays, and we will put coins in them, so as to make a good omen. Today is making up for the winter solstice, which is also a big festival. ”

"That's what it means!" Song Xiangwan was happy, and she smiled happily.

"Xiang Wan, you were the first to eat it, and you sent it this year!" Song Qiyue shouted with a smile.

Seeing that she was so interested, Mo Zhengyan asked, "Is there only one dumpling with coins in it?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhao said, "There are six, let's eat and see." ”

Song Xiangwan got a coin, so there were still five left. The crowd ate one after another, and the coin was eaten one after another. Immediately afterwards, Foreman Zhao, Zhou Suhe, and Mo Zhengyan all ate it. Sister-in-law Zhao and Song Qiyue haven't eaten yet, Song Qiyue can't eat it, or hasn't eaten it.

Foreman Zhao finally got another one here, and the last dumpling in the bowl was breaded with a coin. He gave this coin to Zhao's sister-in-law, which can be regarded as a gift of luck.

"Ahh It's all there, but I don't! Song Qiyue felt a little pity, but he didn't force it.

Mo Zhengyan said, "Sister-in-law Zhao, give me a few more." ”

"Aren't you full? Don't hold it up. Song Qiyue was only afraid that he would be overwhelmed, but Mo Zhengyan still came another bowl.

It's just that Mo Zhengyan ate another bowl, but he still didn't eat the last coin.

"One more bowl." When he shouted again, Song Qiyue stopped, "Don't eat it!" Beware of breaking! ”

Mo Zhengyan gave up.

"Come on, let's have a few more drinks." Foreman Zhao raised his glass.

The banquet was joyful, but no one noticed that Zhou Suhe silently collected the second coin he ate in his palm.

The dumpling feast of this night ended after nine o'clock in the evening. It's not too early, and I'm going to send them back. It's just that Foreman Zhao drank alcohol and couldn't drive. Sister-in-law Zhao called the neighbor next door for help, and the neighbor had a three-wheeled car, driving in front and only two seats in the back, and only two people could sit.

Sister-in-law Zhao said, "Let's go back in two batches, who do you think will go back first?" ”

"You guys first." Zhou Suhe opened his mouth. Shima Kyoka.

"It's okay, let's go back first, I'm afraid of the cold when I look at the night, go back early." As for me and July, we'll take a walk, and it's not far back here. Mo Zhengyan replied, and Song Qiyue also said, "Su He, you and Xiang Wan should go back first." ”

Song Xiangwan smiled, "Then we won't bother you, Su He, let's get in the car." ”

Zhou Suhe glanced at it, and couldn't say anything, so he had to get into the car.

As soon as the car drove away, they were carried away, and in the narrow back seat of the car, Song Xiangwan snuggled up to Zhou Suhe and leaned on his shoulder.

Zhou Suhe's hand was in his pocket, and he touched the coin.

Two pentale coins.

Song Xiangwan was on the side, and she spoke softly, "Suhe, I have to change rooms tonight, they have one room, I'll sleep with you." ”

Sleep together.

Zhou Suhe fixed his eyes, and the coin was pinched by him.
