041 Crispy ravioli
In the early morning of this day, before Bai Tao got up, Gu Yuhuai had already taken the lead in carrying the basket out to buy vegetables.
He took the recipe that White Peach had written to him the night before, and walked slowly down the street, glancing here and stretching out his hand there, and in a few moments the basket was almost full.
He's such a great guy to travel to home.
If anyone marries him, he won't have to worry about it in this life.
Gu Yuhuai thought so.
But soon, he overturned his idea again, it's better for him not to get married, to be honest, he hasn't settled for the rest of his life, how can he still involve an innocent girl?
But in my mind, there is always a small figure dangling around.
When he returned to Yunlai Restaurant, it was almost dawn, and when he stepped into the back kitchen, Gu Yuhuai heard the sound of rushing water, and when he looked out, Bai Tao had already woken up and was sitting in the yard washing his hair.
The green silk is like a waterfall, and she tilts her neck, revealing a large patch of tender white.
The water flowed down the long hair to the tip of the hair, dripping and condensing into a large ball under the steps at his feet, and the white peach took the soap corner on the side and applied it to the long hair, and after rubbing it for a while, it foamed a lot.
She bent over, and after scrubbing for a while, she felt a little sore back, straightened her waist slightly, and lamented: "I really want to cut you with scissors." ”
"Parents of the body's hair and skin, where can you say that you can cut it?" Gu Yuhuai put the vegetable basket in the kitchen, then walked behind Bai Tao, took the soap with one hand, and carefully lifted Bai Tao's hair with the other.
The girl's hair was soft and black, falling in her hand, like silk, Gu Yuhuai unconsciously held her breath, licked her lips, and a slightly hoarse voice came out of her throat: "I'll wash it for you." ”
"What's wrong with your voice? Didn't sleep well last night? Woke up too early? You just went grocery shopping? Bai Tao asked again and again.
Gu Yuhuai coughed a few times: "I ate too much yesterday, I held on, and I slept late at night." ”
"Blame me."
"Blame me, blame me, blame me for being greedy."
Gu Yuhuai held the clump of black hair in the palm of his hand, rubbed it carefully, and scooped up some water with a water spoon on the side, and poured it down the hair, and the foam also rolled down the steps.
The morning breeze blew, lifting and lowering their dresses.
When Bai Mingxuan opened the door, he saw the two of them standing one after the other, and with a blink, he closed the door again.
"Have you bought all the food?"
"I've bought it all, I'll do it, don't worry."
Bai Tao grinned: "It's really capable, which girl marries you in the future, you can have a good life!" ”
"Of course."
But as soon as they finished speaking, both of them suddenly fell silent, only the magpie hanging on the tree outside the courtyard was chirping, and it seemed that this topic was not too popular with the two of them.
After drying his hair, Bai Tao hastily curled it with a chopstick, and then was busy washing and choosing vegetables, and Gu Yuhuai also followed aside to help set the plate.
Grandpa Ji and Xiaoying also got up, cleaned up the front hall of the hospitality, opened the door of Yunlai Restaurant, boiled a pot of hot water for preparation, and began to make bread wontons.
Originally, there was only one kind of Grandpa Ji's wontons, which was soup wontons, and there was only pork filling.
Guests who eat too much may feel that it is nothing, but Bai Tao said that there are several ways to eat wontons.
Soup wontons are just one of them, and there are also crispy wontons, raw pan-fried wontons, large wontons, small wontons, fried wontons, wonton noodles, plus different fillings, there are too many choices for guests.
Therefore, this time, Grandpa Ji plans to try some new varieties according to what Bai Tao said.
Therefore, when Gu Yuhuai was about to put the wooden sign out, Grandpa Ji asked him to wipe off some of the dishes and replace them with several wontons.
"Ah, grandpa is going to make new ravioli? Want to try it? Bai Tao was surprised.
Grandpa Ji smiled and nodded, and the folds on his face were several: "You can invite a few guests to try it, if it's good, make more in the future." ”
"Okay, what does Grandpa want to do today?"
"Just do the two things you said earlier, crispy ravioli and small ravioli."
"Okay."
Bai Tao first prepared all the ingredients for the dishes he was going to make, and then went with Gu Yuhuai to help his grandfather make wontons.
The dough rolled by yourself is thin and firm, and the filling chopped by yourself is crushed and delicious.
Grandpa Ji has been making wontons for so many years, and he has long had his own secret ingredients, Bai Tao knows that as a cook, there is always a little hidden skill, Grandpa Ji is no exception, and she is no exception.
Therefore, when Grandpa Ji was making the stuffing, she turned around and pulled Gu Yuhuai by the way.
Gu Yuhuai was a little confused, but he quickly understood, pretended to talk to Bai Tao, and followed suit.
Grandpa Ji occasionally looked up and saw that the two of them were putting their heads together, as if they were talking, but they couldn't hear a sound, and the action of making wontons in their hands did not stop at all, and he smiled slightly, and immediately understood the thoughts of the two.
"There is no need for this, I am also a person who has stepped into the loess half of my body, and this thing will have to be told to Xiaoying sooner or later. You are all children of good families, and naturally you will not covet such a little thing from me, in fact, when Xiao Tao came to eat wontons at the stall earlier, I knew what your idea was, so many people have come and gone in this quecheng for so many years, what kind of person has a look, I know what he is going to do. Grandpa Ji lowered his head, this looked like he was talking to himself, but he was telling Bai Tao truthfully.
Bai Tao raised her head and placed a wrapped wonton on a white cloth.
"Grandpa, I have bad intentions."
"It's really ill-intentioned, but isn't grandpa also in the urn by himself?" Grandpa Ji smiled, his eyebrows gentle.
Xiaoying didn't understand a little, tiptoeing, and barely showed a pair of dark eyes on the edge of the table: "Grandpa, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?" ”
Gu Yuhuai reached out and touched Xiaoying's hairy head, smiling without saying a word.
"Grandpa has to go first after all, Xiaoying is still young, so I have to trouble you to help more in the future."
Life and death are things that many people are reluctant to mention, but have to face.
Grandpa Ji has also reached the time when he has to think about the future for Xiaoying, fortunately, fortunately, Bai Tao came, in fact, even if Bai Tao didn't say it, he also thought about entrusting the wonton stall to her, and it was Xiaoying who entrusted it with the wonton stand.
It is already a very painful thing to lose a child in old age, if Xiaoying is left alone in this world, Grandpa Ji really can't imagine what Xiaoying's life will be like in the future.
He knew Quecheng too well.
On the surface, it looks very peaceful and indisputable, but in fact, the dark tide inside is turbulent and turbulent.
"Grandpa, don't say that." Although Bai Tao responded like this, he also began to worry.
Before her grandfather passed away, he was so calmly arranging the days ahead, and he was so worried about the juniors, always reluctant, but helpless.
The wontons on the table are more numerous one by one.
Grandpa Ji wants to make two kinds of wontons, one is crispy wontons and the other is small wontons.
The method of these two wonton buns is also different, one has more filling, the other has less filling, and the filling is also different.
The filling of crispy wontons is mixed with many different ingredients, Bai Tao glanced at the remaining fillings in the basin, and found that Grandpa Ji put chopped green onions and ginger, as well as fresh shrimp and green vegetables that were almost chopped and unrecognizable, but these are the ingredients that ordinary people will use to make wontons.
"Little Peach, you smell it." Grandpa Ji said with a smile.
Bai Tao tilted his head, pinched a small ball of stuffing, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully, only to suddenly realize that Grandpa Ji's secret ingredient was here.
"I see."
"What's wrong?" Gu Yuhuai stood aside, a little dazed.
"I'll have you something to eat in a moment." Bai Tao reached out and pinched Gu Yuhuai's face, hehe smiled, it felt so good, the skin was delicate, it really didn't look like a gangster from the market.
Gu Yuhuai touched his stomach: "I'm about to feed you fat." ”
"Hey, he's fat." Bai Tao turned around with a smile, put the remaining half of the filling in the basin on the other end of the table, put the wrapped wontons on the drawer cloth one by one, handed them to Grandpa Ji, and prepared to be steamed in the drawer.
The rest is used to make small ravioli.
The skin of the small wonton is thinner, and the filling is less wrapped, and the white peach's action is very neat, and the rest of the filling is wrapped in a short time, and Gu Yuhuai on the other side has already placed the bowl.
Each bowl also has chopped green onion and ginger, as well as shrimp skin and seaweed that I bought this morning.
"Is the water hot?" Bai Tao asked.
Gu Yuhuai nodded: "Shall we eat two bowls first?" ”
Bai Tao glanced at him and smiled a little: "It's okay." ”
When the water in the pot was bubbling and bubbling, before Bai Tao could reach out, Gu Yuhuai had already handed over the wontons and carefully put them in one by one, and the soup spoon in Bai Tao's hand occasionally went down to the pot and stirred a few times, so that the wontons would not stick to the bottom of the pot.
"When will it be good?" Gu Yuhuai was like a child gathered in front of the stove waiting for his mother to finish cooking and start eating, surrounding Bai Tao, asking questions and handing over something at three or five o'clock.
"It'll be fine in a moment, and put some more salt." Bai Tao said, and picked up the salt jar on the side: "Where is my senior brother?" Gone out again? ”
"I didn't see him go out just now, he should still be in the room, right? I'll take a look. Gu Yuhuai walked out of the kitchen as he spoke, and came back after a while: "I didn't see anyone in the room, probably I went out." ”
Bai Tao nodded, since the business of Yunlai Restaurant gradually stabilized, Bai Mingxuan didn't stay much, often going out early and returning late, and sometimes came back with a little injury, secretly hiding it from Bai Tao.
Since he didn't say it, Bai Tao pretended not to know, but occasionally when he was away, he would go to his room to put some good gold sore medicine, and the two of them knew it and didn't break it.
And unconsciously, Bai Mingxuan's success rate in receiving rewards has far exceeded those who live here all year round, and while gradually becoming famous, he naturally suffered from the jealousy of some people.
