Chapter 36: Dumplings that were not eaten in vain

Tong Shuangxi saw the disappointment on Steward Wen's face, and saw her continue: "But I know that there is a place that is most suitable for building a house. ”

Steward Wen was still unmoved, as long as it was the boundary of the village, even if the boundary was worse, as long as it was in the village, he thought that Tong Shuangxi thought that they were going to build a new house, so he said this.

Tong Shuangxi knew Steward Wen's thoughts, but what she wanted to say was not something that could be said clearly in one sentence or two, so she opened her mouth and invited Steward Wen and the two said: "It's time for dinner, Steward Wen should go to my house to have some food before looking for a place!" ”

Tong Shuangxi didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, Steward Wen remembered that the two of them came down directly from the mountainside, and they were busy all afternoon, and their stomachs were hungry.

Steward Wen looked at the other steward Zhao beside him, and when he saw that he nodded, he was not polite, and nodded in response.

If you want to say that this Wen steward is also curious about what kind of family raises such a little girl who can write and calculate.

When the sister and brother came back with Steward Wen, Mrs. Wang had already arrived home, and she was taking a basin and bread dumplings.

Today's mushrooms were sold at a good price, thinking that Tong Shuangxi wanted to eat meat, as soon as he took the money, Mrs. Wang went to the butcher shop on the street to cut a whole pound of fat and thin pork belly.

Tong Shuangxi explained the identity of the person who came to the house, and Mrs. Wang opened her mouth to leave the guests for dinner.

Steward Wen and Steward Zhao came to Tong Shuangxi's sister's house, but they regretted it a little, they didn't expect that Tong Shuangxi's sister and brother had only one aunt in the family, and the house at home could even be described as shabby.

Although Steward Wen and Steward Zhao are slaves, they have never lived in such a shabby house in their lives.

Just looking at the three mother-in-law and grandson in front of them, Steward Wen and Steward Zhao couldn't say anything about leaving, so they could only sit down with a smile.

It is not enough for five people to wrap dumplings with a pound of meat, so Mrs. Wang discussed it with Tong Shuangxi, and then went to the field to cut a stubble of leeks, soaked vermicelli, and wrapped dumplings with vegetarian filling and meat filling.

Finely chop the leeks, soak the vermicelli until soft and chop, cut a piece of fatty meat from the pork belly, and slowly fry it in a pot over low heat to soften the crispy crisp.

Mrs. Wang still felt sorry for Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's two children, and the fried oil and oil residue were all put in the leek vermicelli, leaving nothing for the two guests.

The guest's dumplings are real whole meat dumplings. The tender shallots are just pinched from the ground by Tong Shuangshuang, cut into the minced pork belly, the pork belly is fat and thin, add the material and stir evenly, you can roll the skin and stuff.

Dumplings are difficult for Tong Shuangxi, especially rolling dumpling skin is Tong Shuangxi's specialty, in the previous life, every New Year, the work of rolling the skin has always been done by her.

It can be said that this dumpling wrapper was rolled out from a young age.

Mrs. Wang's skill in making dumplings is even better, and the dumplings stand timidly one by one, just like the big girl who is standing.

Steward Wen and Steward Zhao were also really hungry, and as soon as the dumplings were on the table, they smelled the fragrance, and their saliva was about to fall.

Mrs. Wang, Tong Shuangxi, and Tong Shuangshuang ate the vegetarian dumplings, but the lard residue was put in a lot, and the taste was no worse than that of pure meat.

"This ...... I'm so embarrassed...... We're ......! ”

Steward Wen and Steward Zhao are both southerners, and they eat mostly rice on weekdays, and it is rare to eat such delicious dumplings, and after devouring them, they found that the dumplings eaten by the three mother-in-law and grandson were not the same as them.

Steward Zhao even took out a silver horn from his body and put it in the hands of Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang and Tong Shuangxi would not accept the silver, and in the end, it was Wen who asked Zhao to put the money away.

After dinner, Tong Shuangxi set up a table in front of the house, poured boiled water for Steward Wen and Steward Zhao with a large bowl, and then talked about the house.

"In fact, there is no need to build that house with bricks and red tiles, if I look at it, it is better to use the ready-made wood, with thick felt fabric, fast and trouble-free, and when the project is over, it can be removed and reused."

After eating, the two sides became familiar with each other again, and Tong Shuangxi didn't hide it, and said his thoughts directly.

Tong Shuangxi is not sure if there is such a thing as felt skin in this era, even if there is none, Steward Wen and Steward Zhao are just talking nonsense about her little girl.

Steward Wen and Steward Zhao didn't pay attention to the felt skin, but paid more attention to how these two things could live in people?

"It's like building a shed halfway up the mountainside, it's just building higher, bigger, and stronger, after all, it's summer, even if you live for a few months, you can't freeze bad people!"

Since it is nonsense, then Tong Shuangxi is more casual when he speaks, if it can be implemented, Steward Wen and Steward Zhao will pay attention to it, if it is not appropriate, it will only be gossip.

Steward Wen and Steward Zhao heard some truths.

"It's just that the price of this felt is not low." Steward Zhao said hesitantly.

"But the construction period is more important, these felt skins can be used again when they are used up, and they can be reused ......!"

"I don't know if the gang on the mountain can get used to it?"

"Even if they come out to work, where can they live as comfortably as at home, they don't also say that the construction period is important, they are all people who work outside, where there are so many ......!"

……

In the next discussion, Tong Shuangxi did not interject, and only left it to the two stewards to discuss.

After the two discussed it, Tong Shuangxi solemnly saluted the two of them and said, "If this method is feasible, please also ask Steward Wen to allow me one thing." ”

Although Steward Wen and Steward Zhao still have to go back to discuss, they have roughly made a calculation in their hearts, and they are curious when they see Tong Shuangxi asking like this.

"The open space around my aunt's house is the largest in the village, and it is not far from the foot of the mountain, which is very convenient for going up and down the mountain in the future.

Seeing Tong Shuangxi say this, Steward Wen and Steward Zhao really stood up and observed the surrounding open space.

"It doesn't matter where the shed is built, as long as it doesn't affect the occupancy, but what's in it for you?" As the saying goes, beans have to be squeezed out of three points of oil, and there is nothing beneficial, who will bother to think about it.

Steward Wen is also a businessman, and he doesn't think that there is a free lunch in the world.

was said to be in his arms, Tong Shuangxi first laughed twice, and then said: "This is what I want to ask you, after the shed is built, can the food of these twenty or so people be handed over to our mother-in-law and grandson." ”

Hearing Tong Shuangxi say this, Steward Wen and Steward Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
