Luozhi ate a piece, so he sandwiched a piece and dipped it in some sugar for Luo'an. Oil residue and white sugar are rare delicacies in rural people, and the two are eaten together, and Luo'an has not eaten them since he was born, so he especially cherishes them and chews them slowly.

The double happiness of "really delicious" oil residue and white sugar made Luo'an's big eyes squint happily.

Ah Shu couldn't help it for a long time, he wanted to grab it and eat it directly, but Luo Zhi glared at him, and Luo Zhi also gave him a piece of sugar, this guy was so delicious that he circled in the center of the earth.

"Take this to Grandpa to taste", Luozhi handed a bowl of sugar mixed with oil residue to Luo'an.

Old Man Mu stopped eating two pieces and left them for the children to eat. Luozhi does not follow, good things have to be shared by the family, the old man can't screw the children's filial piety, while it is hot and delicious, you and I will share the food as a family.

"I'll make dumplings for you to eat the rest of the night, don't eat too much, keep your stomach to eat dumplings." Luozhi instructed Luo'an and Ah Shu.

Two plates of nearly ten catties of plate oil, boiled out of the oil filled two full clay pots, it is estimated that there are more than nine catties, which should be enough to eat for a while.

The lard was ready, and the old man's pig water was washed. Luozhi first blanched the pig in water, threw in a few pieces of old ginger and a green onion knot, and then took out the cold water and washed it after the pot was boiled, and then it could be marinated. She poured the mountain spring water into the pot, put in the blanched large intestine and small intestine pig lungs, put the five-spice marinade into it, and went to the back cover room to move the old marinade over and pour it in, boiled the pot on high heat for fifteen minutes, and then changed the heat to slowly marinate for an hour.

She set aside five catties of pork belly to make a bun, and also divided it into four large pieces, burned the skin and washed it, and then threw it into the marinated pot to marinate it together, so that the marinated meat can be made into jar meat.

The stove room was full of aroma and smoke, and Luozhi began to prepare dumplings for dinner.

She went to the pumpkin shelf in the back garden and picked two old pumpkins and picked them off, cleaned them with water, cut them with a knife, and took out the melon pulp and melon seeds inside. , the melon seeds are ripe and full and sun-dried on the bamboo plate, and they are fried and eaten later. Because it is an old pumpkin, and it is an absolutely pollution-free organic food, there is no need to peel it at all, just cut it into large pieces, and steam it over the heat.

Press the steamed pumpkin into a puree with a porcelain spoon, add two bowls of white noodles, knead evenly with your hands, knead the golden dough, put it in a wooden basin to rise, and Luozhi begins to stew the soup.

The pork belly has been blanched, she evenly cut it into long strips, cut off the cleaned big stick bones with the back of a knife, put them into a clay pot, and then put in the belly strips, add spring water, a piece of flattened old ginger, and a green onion knot to remove the smell and start the stew.

Stewing soup on a red clay stove, she began to stuff dumplings again. Cut the washed leeks into small pieces, chop the oil residue, burn two spoonfuls of freshly fried lard and stir well in one direction, the dumpling filling is well adjusted, and the pumpkin-flavored dough is also rising.

The old man moved the dining table into the stove room, wiped the table clean with a clean cloth, sprinkled a layer of dry white flour, and the old man began to roll the dumpling skin.

"Grandpa, you have nothing to say about your craftsmanship, this skin is round and big," Luozhi can also roll the skin, but it is a little worse than the level of the old man.

"When I was young, I went out to help, and I learned it in the master's house, and the family came from the north to settle down, in Mianshan Town, in front of Ji'an Town. We were in charge of the meals at the master's house, and there were dumplings for every meal, and I was very greedy at that time, so I told the master's assistant chef to teach me, but I didn't expect this craft to be useless all these years, and I didn't leave it behind. As the old man spoke, he didn't pull down the work in his hand.

Luozhi listened to Grandpa talk about the ancient times while wrapping dumplings, Luo'an and Ah Shu looked at the fire in front of the stove, and the braised meat in the pot made a "gurgling" tumbling sound.

Luozhi is very peaceful and happy. Today, Grandpa took the initiative to write her name on the title deed, and she kept it in mind and was really happy at the same time. In her previous life, she grew up in a very humane and affectionate family, and she liked this warm family atmosphere very much. In this life, she was able to accept this family so quickly, and it had something to do with it. This family is humane, understands kindness, and retains the integrity of being a man although he has lived a hard life. Grandpa is open-minded, does not have the ordinary patriarchal habits of today, and loves her even more than Luo'an, and there is no gentleman who stays away from the vice of cooking, Luo'an is affected by this, and can also help with things in the kitchen, and has done everything in the fire, Luozhi feels that he is very lucky to be reborn in this warm family.

The family got started and quickly wrapped the dumplings. Luo An was curious about how the dumpling skin wrapped by Sister A was yellow, he had only eaten white before. Luozhi explained the principle, he was looking forward to the dumplings being steamed quickly, and he wanted to eat this cute and beautiful dumpling.

Luozhi took chili noodles, minced shallots, garlic puree, and homemade five-spice powder to make a bowl of oily and spicy seeds as a dipping sauce, so that the dumplings are not greasy.

Luozhi asked Luo'an to light the fire, she put the bamboo drawer in the pot, spread the bottom with lotus leaves, stacked the dumplings neatly one by one, covered with bamboo covers, and steamed for 20 minutes.

The braised pork is almost marinated, put it in the pot and continue to soak it overnight, which will make it more flavorful.

Dinner is eaten in the courtyard, and the autumn breeze in the evening is cool, and it is particularly comfortable to blow on people. In the middle of the dining table, there are dumplings with a large bamboo drawer, all golden and full, dipping sauce to bite, spicy and delicious, the oil fragrance of oil residue and the fragrance of leeks are mixed together, the taste is thick and refreshing, not greasy, delicious and comfortable.

The big bone pork belly soup stewed in Luozhi is also delicious and fragrant, and the belly is stewed glutinously without sticking to the teeth, and it is very suitable to eat one bite at a time.

"With the blessing of my little granddaughter, I also live a good life with plenty of food and clothing, and now even if I leave, I can look at it with peace of mind!" The old man took a sip of wine and said.

He likes to drink a little wine at the old man's meal, he used to be poor and only bought two copper plates and a corner of muddy wine during the New Year's holidays to enjoy it, but now his granddaughter is out of breath, and gives him a whole jar of grain wine, the taste is mellow, the entrance wine is fragrant, and the old man has to drink a small cup at every meal.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? You pulled me and Luo An to grow up peacefully, it's not easy for you, now that life is better, can you live for a long time? I will not speak discouragement. Grandpa, don't worry, we have a long life! You can't live without this home. Luozhi put down his chopsticks, looked at his grandfather seriously and said. With Grandpa here, this family is complete, and she and Luo'an can also gain a more stable foothold.

"Oh, why don't you kid eat dumplings and stack chopsticks? Grandpa is happy, he never dreamed of such a life. Grandpa still wants to see your sisters and brothers get married, and I also want to see my great-grandson! How can you leave so easily? Old Man Mu sandwiched a dumpling for Luozhi and asked her to eat it while it was hot.

"Grandpa, Sister, I must study hard, be a big official, and buy you good things to eat every day!" Luo An swallowed the dumplings and said quickly, his little face full of seriousness.

Luozhi's heart warmed, she reached out and touched his hairy little head with crooked eyebrows, and gave him a big dumpling, the future of the grateful child will definitely not be bad.

The old man had red eyes, God was unfair to him, and made him lose his wife and children. God was very fair to him again, and after giving him enough suffering, he gave him such a sensible pair of children and grandchildren.

Ah Shu looked at it ignorantly, as if he didn't understand.

After the meal, Luozhi washed the pig's feet and salted them and hung them in the back cover room to dry, and then stirred the rose sauce with a bamboo stick to speed up the fermentation, carefully sealed and covered it, and returned to the front yard.

"Grandpa, we bought so many uppers today, I want to find someone in the village to help make shoes, Grandpa knows whose craftsmanship is good?" After Luozhi came through, she has been busy with her livelihood, and many of the people in Mujia Village are not very familiar with it, and she is a shy and inferior little girl who rarely goes out, so there are not many memories left for her.

"The best thing to be a female celebrity is Mu Ying's mother, it is you Mu Siniang, her female celebrity is famous in her mother's family, and now I heard that she also makes female celebrities to supplement the family, and she has to take some embroidery work home every month." Master Mu couldn't stay idle, and he didn't stop after this meal, cutting paper for Luo'an. The old man is meticulous, the edges of the cut paper are neat and neat, and the size of a stack of paper is uniform, which is very beautiful and generous.

"Grandpa, then I'll take Luo'an and them out to see if Aunt Mu has time to help us make shoes?" Luozhi stood up and took Kun's clothes, thought about it and returned to the stove room, held a bowl full of pumpkin dumplings in a large bowl, put them in the basket and covered them with a cloth, led Luo'an, Ah Shu followed, and the three of them went out of the courtyard.

Most of the people have just finished dinner and are sitting in the courtyard chatting in the shade, and it is not unusual to see the three children of Luozhi coming out at night, and their own children are also crazy outside!

Along the way, I greeted familiar neighbors sweetly, but it took half a cup of tea to arrive at Mu Ying's house.

"Fourth Uncle Mu, Mu Ying" Luo Zhi shouted outside the courtyard wall.

"Luozhi" A young male voice sounded behind her, and Luozhi turned her head to look, it turned out to be Mu Ying's eldest brother, Mu Jia'an. At this time, the young man was standing behind them with a large load of peanut seedlings, and Luozhi hurriedly got out of the way and let him go first.

"Get out of the way, let's all go inside! My father and aunt are behind, and I will be back soon. Mu Jia'an led people into the courtyard, and Luozhi helped him and unloaded the burden. Mu Jia'an wiped a handful of sweat and glanced at Luozhi in the hazy moonlight, the young man blushed slightly and turned his head in embarrassment.

Mu Ying ran out with a spatula in her hand at this time, and was very surprised when she saw Luozhi, "Luozhi, it's really you!" I was just thinking about going to your house to look for you later, and I told my mother to sleep at your house tonight. ”

Luo Zhi nodded, Mu Ying had rested at her house before, this was not the first time.

"Mu Ying, I brought you the newly made dumplings tonight, you can taste them," Luo Zhi lifted the cover cloth and brought out a bowl of spiky dumplings.

"It's so beautiful, I've never seen dumplings of this color before, what is this made of?" Mu Ying asked, her eyes not leaving the dumplings.

"It's very simple, just add the old pumpkin when you mix the noodles." Luozhi said.

"How did you come up with that? How could I not have imagined?" Mu Ying muttered to herself, as if her head was very difficult compared to Luo Zhiyi?

"You can eat, you see, you can't make it, but you don't have less food, it's more blessed than being able to do it," Luo Zhi comforted his self-denying friend.

Mu Ying nodded straight when she said this, and suddenly became enlightened, yes, if there is Luozhi, her share is indispensable, as long as she can eat, it will be fine! If Luo Zhi knew what she was really thinking, she probably wouldn't want to pay attention to her only best friend anymore.
