Chapter 303: Chinese Cabbage Dumplings
"Chop chop chop ~ chop chop ~ " There was a burst of chopping sound from the kitchen, mixed with the laughter of women from time to time, Li Xiu sat in the living room with a leisurely face and drank tea, and by the way, he pointed out Qi Niang, Hate Er, and Xiaoya to read.

Today, the cabbage in the field is finally ripe, Li Xiu asked people to chop a few back, and then Princess Pingyang also came, and went to the kitchen with Yi Niang and Yuechan, and now they are chopping dumpling filling, waiting for the next family to make dumplings, but unfortunately it is still summer, if it is in the winter New Year, it will be more appropriate, but he believes that this winter should be able to achieve this wish.
"What day is today, and the house is so lively?" At this moment, I suddenly saw a woman holding a child and walked in and asked with a smile, this woman is the Mayan woman Qu Yi, since she gave birth to a child, because the child is too young, so she has been staying at home during this time, usually Yiniang and Princess Pingyang go to visit her together, and now the child is finally a little older, so today Yiniang also sent someone to invite her to make dumplings together.
"Today's dumplings are made at home, and they use a new vegetable, so please come and try them together!" Li Xiu also hurriedly stood up when she saw Qu Yi coming in, she didn't see her for a while, her Chinese was getting better and better, although the tone was still a little weird, but there was no problem with communication.
However, when he said this, Li Xiu looked behind Qu Yi again, but only saw a few maids, and he asked again with some surprise: "What about Brother Eleven, why didn't you see him come with you?" ”
"Don't mention it, he's busy shopping for something during this time, and I can't see him every day when he goes out early and returns late." Qu Yi said with some resentment at this time, and it happened that at this moment, the little baby girl in her arms suddenly cried, which made Qu Yi hurriedly hold her and coax her, and at the same time did not forget to say to Li Xiu, "You see, when her father is mentioned, this little guy cries, she hasn't seen her father for a long time." ”
For the little guy in Qu Yi's arms, Qi Niang and the other three girls were also very interested, and they all jumped up and ran to Qu Yi's side, tiptoeing to see the little guy, but when the little guy saw the three strange girls, instead of being afraid, he stopped crying, and stared at them with big eyes with his fingers, as if he had found some new toy.
"Big brother, look, this little guy likes us!" Qi Niang saw that the little baby girl didn't cry, and she shouted excitedly at the moment. And Li Xiu also leaned over curiously at this time to take a look, and found that the wrinkled little guy was already much more beautiful, with big eyes and a small nose, and he was very chubby and cute, the only drawback was that it was a little darker than ordinary babies, which seemed to be more like Qu Yi.
Qu Yi didn't expect her daughter to like Qi Niang and them so much, and she was excited to hold her daughter and play with Qi Niang and them, but the little guy actually "giggled" and laughed, which caused Qi Niang and them to scream again and again, and they didn't know who started it, so they wanted the little guy to sing, but unfortunately the little guy could only make a tone like "Ya Ya ~", let alone sing.
When a few little girls were playing happily, I saw that Yiniang and Princess Pingyang and others also walked in, and the maid behind them also carried two large basins, which were dumpling fillings and dough, as well as chips and flour and other things, and then Pingyang beckoned everyone to come and help make dumplings.
Qu Yi also felt very interesting, after handing over her daughter to the nurse to take care of, she also washed her hands and learned to wrap before she washed her hands, but although making dumplings seems simple, there are also tricks in it, and it will be difficult to grasp for a while, and as a result, her dumplings are either ugly and weird, or they are exposed, and they are crooked when they are placed on the tray, and they look miserable, and even the dumplings made by Qi Niang and a few little guys are better than her, but Qu Yi is unaware of it, and she is still full of interest in wrapping her ugly dumplings.
There are many people who move quickly, and after a while, the dumplings are wrapped, and it is almost noon at this time, Li Xiu can't wait for people to make dumplings now, he has been hungry for a long time, and after the dumplings are cooked, Yuechan specially served him a big bowl, and after a while, a large bowl of dumplings was swallowed by him alone, and he felt that today's dumplings were extraordinarily fragrant.
"This ...... It tastes like dumplings wrapped in cabbage? Qi Niang saw that Li Xiu ate so fragrantly, and she also tasted the freshly cooked dumplings at the moment, but she was a little disappointed, the taste of this Chinese cabbage and the baby cabbage didn't seem to be much different.
"How can it be the same, if you taste it carefully, this cabbage-wrapped dumpling is much more delicious!" Li Xiu insisted, he felt that this cabbage dumpling was delicious, of course, this may also be his psychological factor.
"Well, there are indeed some differences in taste, I can't say which one is delicious and which one is unpalatable, but the size of the Chinese cabbage is so big, this alone is stronger than the small cabbage!" Princess Pingyang also smiled while tasting dumplings at this time, she didn't understand why Li Xiu liked to eat dumplings so much, and she insisted on making Chinese cabbage to make dumplings to eat, but Chinese cabbage is also a good thing for ordinary people, and there is no need to worry about no green leafy vegetables to eat in the future.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, you have so many kinds of food in the Central Plains, this dumpling is so delicious!" Not only did Li Xiu feel delicious, but Qu Yi also praised while eating, her biggest gain after coming to the Central Plains was that she had gained a few laps of weight, of course, this was also related to her giving birth to children, but it was also inseparable from the food of the Central Plains.
Eating delicious dumplings, the family is also talking and laughing, Qu Yi and her children are the focus of everyone, Yi Niang is also pregnant with a child now, so she has been asking Qu Yi for some details of taking care of the child, which made Princess Pingyang look envious, but Li Xiu believes that as long as he works harder, it is estimated that it will not be long before Princess Pingyang can also live at home.
After lunch, there are still a lot of dumplings left at home, Li Xiu asked Yuechan to cook them and put them in the food box, and then he went out with the food box, and after a while, he came to the official office of the Ministry of Agriculture.
When Li Xiu saw Yang Nong, he saw that the other party was lying on the desk writing something, and he knocked lightly on the door, and when the other party looked up and saw him, he smiled and said: "Yang Shangshu hasn't eaten yet, I have made some dumplings at home, I'll bring some for everyone to taste!" ”
"Haha~, Li Saijiu, please come in, I'm about to look for you, I have something to discuss with you!" Yang Nong stood up happily when he saw Li Xiu, and warmly invited him in. (To be continued.) )
