Chapter 344: Making Dumplings
"No need, just work hard, remember, don't do illegal things, even if you don't want to work, don't do it!"
After Yu Yang's father finished speaking, he walked quickly towards the house with the things Yu Yang bought, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth: "Old woman, come and see, what good things my son has bought and bought you clothes, they are all brands you have seen on TV!" ”
Yu Yang watched his father walk towards home, sighed slightly in his heart, and sighed with emotion, he must live and live well, so that he can honor his parents well.
He took out the two largest bags in the car, closed the trunk, and walked into his home with the boxes.
The house is still the same as before, the old-fashioned four rooms, the hall house, the side room and the kitchen, Yu's mother is holding Gu Yuerou's hand and asking questions, nothing more than how did you know Yu Yang, how long have you known each other, what kind of work do you do, Gu Yuerou sat on the side, listened quietly, and replied a few words from time to time, Yu's mother was very happy.
"Hey, son, you go make dumplings, eat tomorrow morning, I'm going to cook for you now, you kid, don't say a word when you bring someone back, I'll prepare in advance!"
After finishing speaking, he was like Yu Yang again, and then looked at Gu Yuerou: "This Gu girl, you just sit here, watch TV, and I'll cook for you!" ”
"Auntie, I'll go and help you!"
Yu's mother immediately got up and waved her hand: "No, no, you can just sit here, hey, old man, you go with me to cook, and leave the dumplings for my son and Miss Gu, pack more!" After finishing speaking, he winked at Yu Yang, and pulled Yu Yang's father to appear quickly.
After his parents walked out, Yu Yang glanced at Gu Yuerou, walked to the basin placed next to the door and washed his hands: "You still go to my mother, do you know how to cook?" ”
Gu Yuerou shrugged her shoulders: "No, but I can learn, you teach me how to make dumplings, I've always wanted to learn, but I haven't had the opportunity, today is just right!" ”
After Yu Yang heard it, he nodded: "No problem, wash your hands first, the conditions in your hometown are a little poor, I hope you don't be surprised!" After Yu Yang finished speaking, he poured out the water in the basin again and refilled a basin of water for Gu Yuerou.
"It's okay, it's good, I'm quite envious, it smells of home, unlike my home back in the United States, there are only empty houses, and other than that, there is no human breath, if I can, I also hope to have such a home." Gu Yuerou was quite sad while washing her hands.
"Your parents are gone?" Yu Yang was very interested in Gu Yuerou, and had never heard Gu Yuerou mention her own affairs before, but after Gu Yuerou opened her mouth today, Yu Yang had the opportunity to ask.
"No, it's just that they are busy with their work, all year round, when I was a child, I only spent two festivals with them, I can't see anyone on weekdays, in addition to the house, there are two maids, Filipinos, they are not the Spring Festival!"
"Well, you envy my family, do you know how many people envy you for growing up in a family like yours? Carefree since childhood, food and clothing, this is a besieged city, people inside want to come out, people outside want to go in, if you were born in my family, if you are not married at this age, I estimate that you don't want to go home at all during the holidays! ”
"Why?" Gu Yuerou walked beside Yu Yang and looked at Yu Yang curiously, now Gu Yuerou is like a curious baby, curious about everything.
"Because tomorrow, your seven aunts, eight aunts and all kinds of relatives will come to your house to walk around, the first thing in their relationship is why you are not married, why you don't have a girlfriend, every year is the same, never repeated, don't believe it, you will know by this time tomorrow, okay, I'll teach you how to make dumplings!"
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he took a dumpling wrapper and put it in the center of his hand, then picked up a small spoon, dug out a small spoonful of meat filling and put it in the middle of the dumpling wrapper, then closed the two sides, and then pinched the edge of the dumpling tightly with his hand, and held it in his hand to show Gu Yuerou: "Making dumplings is so simple, how about it?" Okay no! ”
Gu Yuerou looked at Yu Yang making dumplings intently, and then nodded: "It doesn't seem to be difficult, I'll try it!" ”
After finishing speaking, following Yu Yang's example, he put a dumpling skin in the middle of his hand, and then dug a spoonful of meat filling into it, and the two sides overlapped, but he found that the bulging bags could not be closed at all, Yu Yang immediately laughed when he saw this scene.
"Don't put too much, if you put too much dumpling filling, when you cook the dumplings, the dumplings will crack, you want to wrap less, do you think I don't want to give you so little meat filling that dumplings are wrapped? I didn't pick the door so hard! ”
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he picked up the dumplings in Gu Yuerou's hand, then removed part of the meat filling, and then pinched it up again: "Look, it's okay like this, one of the key points of this dumpling is that don't put too much filling, remember?" ”
"Okay, I'll do it all over again! It doesn't seem to be very simple. Sticking out her tongue, Gu Yuerou began to remake dumplings again.
"Hey, it's not like that, you have to align it."
"Well, you don't need to pinch it lightly without so much force."
“……”
I have to admit that learning to cook requires a certain amount of talent, even if some people are as smart as Gu Yuerou, but their talent in cooking is almost zero, Yu Yang taught her for five minutes, and Gu Yuerou finally made one of her own dumplings.
"You say, why can't I use two dumpling wrappers, in this case, put the meat filling in the middle, and put it together, so that the dumplings will be bigger, more meat, and convenient!"
After wrapping a few dumplings, Gu Yuerou suddenly thought of a way on a whim, and after Yu Yang heard it, he glanced at her and motioned for him to give it a try.
"Well, when I didn't say it!" Sticking out her tongue again, Gu Yuerou began to continue making dumplings, the two of them made dumplings for more than an hour, and after chatting for an hour, Yu Yang felt that he knew at least a little about Gu Yuerou.
Gu Yuerou is Chinese, Chinese-American, her father is a pilot, a civil aviation worker, and her mother is a Fortune 500 business executive.
But Gu Yuerou's parents almost didn't see each other all year round because of work, compared to Yu Yang who was forced to go to school in other places and became a soldier, Gu Yuerou lived at home but couldn't see her parents.
And Gu Yuerou is very smart, not only has a doctorate in psychology, but also has an MBA master's degree, a double degree, and is still preparing to go to Peking University to study Chinese, at least it is many times stronger than Yu Yang, an old man who went to the army after graduating from high school.
At that time, Yu Yang, it was not that his family could not afford him to go to school, but that he was unwilling to go, and his parents were forced to be helpless, so they sent him to the army to serve as a soldier.
