The little mule was very obedient, Shen Musheng came back to unload the car after carrying Xu's car, it also stood obediently and did not move, after unloading the car, the little mule was tied under the big tree, Xiaoshan and Shi took something to fill it with water to drink, and the other ran to mow the grass to feed it, after all, it was a new member of the family, and the two stared at it intently.

However, the little wolf cub and the little mule did not seem to deal with each other, and neither of them could look at the other, and from time to time there were howling voices outside the yard.

Shen Shuang carried a lot of things into the yard, but the house was quiet, and no one seemed to be there.

She carried the meat into the kitchen to get some food, after all, they hadn't eaten lunch yet, and what they ate on the road was just snacks, so naturally they couldn't count, and the food they ate at home these days was food without much oil and water, so they naturally had to make up for it.

Xiaoshan and Shishi, who were taking care of the little mules outside, were called in to help light the fire, and Shen Shuang blanched the two large barrels of bones he bought and threw them into the big clay pot to make soup.

Shen Shuang asked Shi Shi to go to the vegetable garden and cut half a basket of leeks, and instructed the two of them to choose vegetables while watching the fire.

She bought a large bag of flour and a small half bag of potato flour today, scooped out more than half of each, added warm water and began to knead the dough.

"Xiaoshuang, you take care of your mother at home, and your father went to the mountains to find your grandmother, and I don't know if they found Chaotian Pepper."

Shen Shuang was tired of kneading the dough, two large doughs, and they had to use a rolling stick to make dumpling wrappers for a while, thinking about it, it was quite a big project.

Finally kneaded the dough, she had no strength when she chopped lean meat, and when she saw her father standing at the door of the kitchen, she naturally didn't want him to go hungry to climb the mountain, she reached out and wiped her sweat with her sleeve, pretending to be pitiful.

"Dad, I don't have the strength to chop lean meat."

Shen Musheng was stunned, and then heard Shen Shuang say, "Dad, come and help me make dumplings, grandma and they will be delicious when they come back in a while, you go up the mountain at this time, it is estimated that it will be dark when you climb up, and you can't find grandma and them." ”

The latter words are very convincing, Shen Musheng thinks that this is indeed the case, in half an hour it will be Shen Shi, he may have to take the wrong road when he goes up, and then look at his daughter, who seems to be very tired, and gets up early in the morning, he has to be busy eating at this time, he is also distressed, and naturally he can't bear to let her work alone.

Shen Musheng thought so, nodded, and put down the back basket on his back, "Then let's wait at home for your grandma and them to come back, and my father will help you chop meat." ”

Shen Shuang bought a lot of lean meat today, plus the basket that Jiang Zitong brought to her, today's meat is very much, it looks like it is full of abundance, Shen Shuang doesn't feel sorry for these ingredients, after all, this weather is not easy to store, but it will be bad if you don't use it.

Shen Musheng has always been no matter how Shen Shuang messes with food in the kitchen, let alone let her save some food, in Shen Musheng's opinion, since his daughter returned to their house, she has become too thin to become human, and she feels very guilty, so when it comes to eating, he can't wait for her to eat more.

Shen Shuang took advantage of her father's time to help chop the minced meat, and walked out of the kitchen to see that the stones and the hill had cleaned the leeks, the soaked black fungus and mushrooms had also been washed, and there was also a Chinese cabbage that she bought today.

Shen Musheng has a lot of strength, and the meat chopping action is fast, when Shen Shuang is busy, he has already cut the meat and chopped it well, so she divided a large pot of lean meat into three parts, and added black fungus and mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, and leeks respectively.

Shen Musheng works neatly, the action of making dumplings is super fast, the hills and stones are not idle, although he is young, but the family has to help make dumplings during the New Year, although they are not very good-looking, but they will wrap them, at least they will not show the filling, several people are busy in the big house, but also to accompany the Xu family.

Xu Shi watched everyone making dumplings, and her heart was excited, and she couldn't wait to end up in person, but her hands were inconvenient, so she could only watch dryly.

Shen Shuang first took the dumplings wrapped in potato flour and put them in a steamer that she specially asked her father to weave with bamboo, the steamer is not big, and she can put four fat dumplings at a time, and there are only three steamers at home.

When the dumplings were almost wrapped, Shen Shuang got up and went to the kitchen to fry the dumplings, and when the dumplings were all wrapped, the steamed dumplings and fried dumplings were already baked.

The hill and the stone and the little wolf cub were also pulled by the stove, because the smell of the fried dumplings was really fragrant.

Shi salivated at the fried dumplings in the pot and stared intently, "Sister Xiaoshuang, this is the most fragrant dumpling I have ever smelled." ”

Shen Shuang turned the dumplings and replied to him, "It's definitely the best dumpling you've ever tasted, okay, bring this plate of fried dumplings and the three steamers to the kang." ”

The two of them didn't say a word, and hurriedly acted, but the little wolf cub didn't move and kept following Shen Shuang's side.

Shen Shuang opened the big clay pot of soup, took out the big bone inside and put it in the pocket where the little wolf cub was eating, and added a little fragrant bone broth, so it didn't care about following her.

She poured more than half of the cabbage and pork dumplings into the bone broth, and after cooking, she asked Xiaoshan and Shi to take the dishes and chopsticks, and the family had lunch officially.

At this time, it was already Shen Shi, and the time was not early, and the dry food eaten at noon had already been digested.

Because Xu was sitting on the kang, Shen Shuang moved all the prepared dumplings to the kang.

During this time, the Xu family was eating on the kang, so Shen Shuang asked her father to make a small table out of bamboo, although it was not big, but several people sat together, which was also very warm.

Xu Shi looked at the dumplings on the plate, in the big bowl and in the small steamer, and was very surprised, "Xiaoshuang, why are these dumplings so varied?" How is this dumpling wrapper transparent? ”

Shen Shuang introduced to a few people, "I kneaded this transparent dumpling skin with potato flour, I put the black fungus that I picked back and dried before and the mushrooms I bought today, called Sanxian dumplings; I fried the leek pork dumplings; There is also this cabbage pork dumpling is cooked with bone broth made from the large barrel bones bought, mother, you drink more bone broth to make up for the shape. ”

The stones and the small mountain mouth water were about to flow to the ground, and they couldn't help but want to move the chopsticks, they were not so particular, they just wanted to eat dumplings quickly, seeing Shen Shuang moving the chopsticks to Xu's dumplings, the two of them hurriedly picked up their bowl with bone broth and drank a sip of hot bone broth, as soon as they drank it, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly drank the bowl of soup.

Next is to sweep the three dumplings on the table, the most popular is definitely the fragrant fried dumplings, because Shen Shuang is willing to put meat, each dumpling is chubby, everyone is satisfied, but Xu Shi is a little distressed.

"You kid, why do you put so much meat in this dumpling? If you know this, you have to talk about you. ”

"It's okay, there's a lot of meat left."

"If you have more, you will pickle it."

"Hmm."

Shen Shuang responded perfunctorily, and then asked Shi and Xiaoshan to clean up the dishes, the two little radish heads patted their well-fed stomachs, while Shen Shuang put ten boiled, steamed and fried dumplings each in a small basket, planning to send some dumplings to the little hunter.

I hadn't seen him for a few days, and Shen Shuang had forgotten to ask the doctor today if his residual poison had been cleared, and she was still a little worried about his situation.

Shen Shuang put the small basket containing dumplings in the big back basket, and under the pretext of picking some wild vegetables, he took the little wolf cub who was also well fed and drunk out of the door.

At this time, I didn't meet anyone on the road, but when Shen Shuang passed by the big haystack, she was met by Shen Cuini and Xiu Gu, who were picking purple fruits and preparing to dye cloth for Li Xiuniang.

"Trini, is that your cousin Shen Shuang?"

Because Shen Cuini didn't go for a few days, Li Xiuniang was very dissatisfied with her attitude of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, but she was also a person who would coax people to be happy, and said a lot of good things, Li Xiuniang naturally quickly discouraged, and she was barely able to take out her hands when she saw her craftsmanship, and began to ask her to help embroider purses and sell them for money.

There are several girls in Li Xiuniang's family who learn embroidery, of course, there are not two people who can learn five points of her ability, and Shen Cuini is the one who can only learn two points of ability.

However, it has become natural for Shen Cuini to fish in troubled waters, and she never felt that she had spent so much money to learn embroidery, she just wanted to be able to avoid doing farm work at home.

came out today to help Li Xiuniang pick purple fruits, and she deliberately went to find Xiu Gu, who worked hard to help her, even if she didn't like to play with her at all.

Hearing Xiu Gu's words, Shen Cuini hurriedly turned her head, only to see the back of Shen Shuang leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but wonder a little.

"It's her, didn't she go to town on a mule cart? Why are you running over here? ”

Xiu Gu reminded on the side, "Trini, this road seems to lead to the wooden house of the little Orion at the foot of the mountain in front, did your cousin go to find the little Orion again?" ”

Xiu Gu has seen Little Orion a few times, but she is timid, and never dares to come forward to say anything to him, she has always talked little, and even thinks that Little Orion is a mute anyway, if he is willing to marry him, it would be a good dream.

Of course, no one dares to say this thoughtful aunt, she knows that she is ugly, and few men can look down on her, and if she lets her mother know that she is worried about the little hunter, she may break her legs.

Even Shen Cuini and Xiu Gu didn't dare to show half of her thoughts about the little Orion, for fear that she would say that she was a toad and wanted to eat swan meat.

Shen Cuini didn't expect this, but as soon as she was reminded by Aunt Xiu, the whole person suddenly came to her senses, and then she became very angry and scolded.

"This dead fat pig, I know that she thinks about other people's little hunters all day long, she must have been moved by seeing the little hunters look handsome, but she doesn't look in the mirror to see how fat and ugly she looks, and she is embarrassed to stick it all day long, it's just a toad who wants to eat swan meat."

When Xiu Gu heard Shen Cuini say 'the toad wants to eat swan meat', her whole person froze, but she was relieved to think that she was not talking about herself, but she was still a little nervous, afraid that she would see her thoughts.

Shen Cuini was still chattering and scolding Shen Shuang, and she didn't even pick the purple fruit, and pulled Xiu Gu forward.

Xiu Gu was still carrying half a basket of purple fruits in her hand, and when she pulled her, she almost fell, but she was not angry, "Trini, where are we going?" The purple fruit has not been picked yet, and Li Xiuniang will use it in a while. ”

"I'll pick it up later, let's go see if she is going to have a private meeting with Little Orion, if it is, I'll go home and let my grandmother marry her to the old man, and see how she still pesters Little Orion."

Xiu Gu's eyes widened, wanting to say that this was not right, and it was not good to follow her, but her temperament made her silent, even if she knew that it was wrong, she still kept up with her steps.
