Chapter 182: Christmas Night
Near the school, there is a large supermarket, although the road is closed by heavy snow, but after the snow stops, there are still many shops that have opened one after another, Shen Yan came to the supermarket, cut a little meat, bought some green onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers, and bought a radish.
Of course, the most important thing is flour, and he has to cook it himself today and make a dumpling.
Christmas Eve, equivalent to Chinese New Year's Eve in China, natural dumplings are a perfect match, and this is also Shen Yan's favorite food, in the past, in his hometown, his parents often wrapped him to eat, over time, he will get it himself.
"Making dumplings? Do you still have the craft? Seeing Shen Yan carrying a bunch of ingredients, Yang Yezi blinked, she didn't go out with Shen Yan just now, such a big snow, it was not easy to walk, Shen Yan didn't let her go with her.
And in her opinion, making dumplings is a technical job, delicious or not, but it all depends on the filling, if the filling is not good, it will be unpalatable.
"You, just look at it!" Shen Yan smiled slightly, began to wash the meat, washed it with water, scraped the knife twice at the bottom of the bowl, and then sharpened the knife, washed it with water, and began to cut the meat.
"I didn't expect you to be a good family man, don't I have to cook after picking you up?" Yang Yezi looked at Shen Yan and couldn't help but quip.
"How can any girl go to the kitchen, now the kitchen is a man's world, you just wait to eat." Shen Yan said with a smile.
"How can I help?" If she is allowed to wait like this, she can't stand it, and finding some work to do can be regarded as contributing.
"Then you help me wash the green onions, ginger, garlic, and radish." Shen Yan said.
Yang Yezi squatted down, there were not many ingredients Shen Yan said, she picked up the garlic, broke it off one by one, removed the skin, peeled it and put it in a bowl, this is very easy to get, and it will be done in a short time.
Remove the outermost layer of dry leaves of the shallots, break the roots, and break the yellow part of the end of the verdant leaves. The same is true for ginger, where the surface layer is removed and cut off.
"I've got it, I've washed it, where do I put it?" Yang Yezi shook the water in his hand and said.
"Give it to me." At this time, Shen Yan had already cut the meat, and as a result, the ingredients in Yang Ye's hand cut the shallots into small pieces. The same goes for ginger and garlic, cut into slices. Put it into the meat slices randomly and chop it up.
"Sister Ye helps me wash a radish." Shen Yang said that he likes to put a little more vegetables in making dumplings, so that the taste will be better.
"Washed, right next to you!" Yang Yezi pointed to the board next to him and said.
"Okay, you can't help Sister Ye Zi here, you better go out first, and I'll call you when I get it done." Shen Yan kept in his hands, cut the radish into shredded radish, added it to the meat little by little, and then put some salt, at this time, the salt was also put in order to make the water in the ingredients analyze and make the filling sticky.
Yang Yezi didn't go out, just stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Shen Yan quietly, his heart was full of sweetness.
Shen Yan chopped very quickly, even an ordinary kitchen knife could be turned into a divine weapon in his hands, and this dumpling filling was just a breeze for him.
After chopping, he put the stuffing in a soup plate and put some other ingredients to adjust the taste.
After that, it's time to make noodles, and Shen Yan's biggest headache is noodles.
"I've heard someone say this before, there is more noodles with water, and more water with noodles, Sister Ye, do you know what happened in the end?" Shen Yan said with a smile, as if telling a story.
"How's it going?" Yang Yezi asked curiously.
"Took him and made a whole pot of noodles, and he hasn't reconciled yet, you say it's funny!" Every time Shen Yan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh a little, as long as he wasn't a fool, he wouldn't make such a mistake!
However, this incident also illustrates a problem from the side, everything must have a degree, and the right one is the best.
Obviously, Shen Yan is very familiar with the matter of making dumplings, and after a while, not only the noodles are reconciled, but also the dough is rolled out.
"I'll wrap it for you." Yang Yezi rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help pack it together.
"Sister Ye, do you still make dumplings?" Shen Yan was slightly surprised.
"Look at what you said, I will have a lot, if it weren't for the dumpling filling, I could make it every day." Yang Yezi said with a smile.
"When I was a child, my favorite food was dumplings, although the family had a little money at that time, but my parents were not at home, and I often traveled on business, and every time my mother came back, she would wrap it for me once. It's been a long time since my mom left. Speaking of the past, Yang Yezi's expression was slightly gloomy, and he remembered his mother again.
"Sister Ye, don't worry, Auntie, I will help you get it back and let you see her again." Shen Yan said.
"Well, I believe you!" Yang Yezi smiled and said.
If it was put before, Yang Yezi would have been very repulsive about ghosts, and felt that this was simply nonsense and had no basis. But with the contact with Shen Yan during this time, she knew that Shen Yan was not an ordinary person, he was a strange person, and even a Taoist priest who could fly away from the sky was not his opponent, he said that there was a way for her to see her mother again, then she must have a certain degree of certainty, otherwise he would not dare to boast of such a sea mouth.
With the mutual assistance of the two, the dumplings were quickly wrapped, and the next step was to put them in the pot, as long as the dumplings floated up, they were cooked, and they could be eaten.
"Shen Yan, this tastes really good." Yang Yezi's eyes were slightly bright, the stuffing made by Shen Yan was very fresh, the flavors of green onions, ginger, garlic, and radish were mixed together, it was a very delicious dumpling she had ever eaten, of course, compared with what her mother made, there was still a little gap, but she couldn't eat that taste anymore.
"Hehe, if you like to eat, I'll make it for you often." Shen Yan said with a smile.
"How can you eat often, it's been a long time since you went out, I think it's better for me to make what I want to eat by myself." Yang Yezi rolled his eyes, Shen Yan went to the imperial capital once before, but it was a whole month, and he didn't know how long it would take to go out next time, and when he cooked every day, don't expect it at this time.
"Hehe..." Shen Yan smiled and touched his head.
Dinner was quickly finished, and the drudgery of washing pots and dishes naturally fell on Shen Yan.
Shen Yan had nothing to complain about this, and accepted it happily. Yang Yezi is very satisfied with Shen Yan's performance, where can he find a boyfriend who can cook and do housework!
Looking at Shen Yan's performance, Yang Yezi blinked, then walked into the room and closed the door, she knew that Shen Yan was probably going to do something bad again tonight, so it was better to shut it out in advance.
She has always remembered Shen Yan's kindness to her, and she also treats Shenyang as the only man in her life to get along with, but there are some things that she is not willing to contact too early, and it is best for her to stay on the wedding night, which can be regarded as an explanation for her deceased mother.
"Hey, hey, Sister Ye, I'm here." Shen Yan finished brushing the pot and washing the dishes, shook his palm, threw out all the water, and ran towards Yang Yezi's room in a hurry.
Click, click, click.
"Sister Ye, hurry up and open the door." Shen Yan shook the door lock twice, and found that the door was locked from the inside, and he couldn't open it at all without a key.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know your cleverness, open the door for you, and you won't rush in immediately." Yang Yezi sat on the edge of the bed, picked up a book and snorted coldly.
"That Sister Ye, you know that my body has always been very weak, especially when I was seriously ill recently, and my body has just recovered. It's so cold tonight, and it's snowing just now, if you don't sleep in bed, you'll definitely catch a cold. Can you bear to watch me shiver and lie on the couch all night? Shen Yan said aggrievedly.
Yang Yezi was stunned for a moment, Shen Yan was right, it was indeed just snowing today, and the weather forecast said that the temperature was still dropping, and the lowest temperature at night could reach minus 10 °C, such a low temperature, let alone wearing a cotton jacket, even if it was covered with a quilt, it would feel very cold.
They had already turned on the air conditioner in the house, and it was 24°C, but they still couldn't withstand the invasion of the cold.
"Why don't you open the door for him and let him in?" Yang Yezi was entangled in his heart. "But this guy has always had a lot of ideas, and now he looks pitiful, and he will definitely change to another after a while."
And Shen Yan is an anomaly, he usually wears very little, a windbreaker is enough, can he catch a cold? Especially thinking that Shen Yan was wearing a thin coat during the day today, he fought with the Taoist priest in the snow for nearly an hour. Not only did he defeat him everywhere without the slightest thing, but he looked like he was physically weak.
"Hmph, you want to trick me into opening the door for you, but there is no door." Thinking of this, Yang Yezi strengthened his thoughts, and then stopped paying attention to Shen Yan.
knocked on the door for a long time, and saw that Yang Yezi didn't mean to open the door for him, "Hehe, if you don't open the door for me, won't I be able to enter?" ”
Shen Yan flipped the palm of his hand, and a key appeared in the palm of his hand, but it was not the one on Yang Yezi's door, but this did not make it difficult for Shen Yan at all, he inserted the key into the lock cylinder, and the aura in his body surged, and the aura filled the lock cylinder along the key, and with a click, the door opened.
"You... How can you have the key to my door! Seeing Shen Yan walk in, Yang Yezi was slightly stunned.
"Hehe, Sister Ye, you are too underestimated, just a lock, how can you stop me?" Shen Yan smiled proudly.
"Shen Yan, that... Although we are boyfriend and girlfriend now, we are not married, can you wait until we get married... Again... Again..."Speaking of this, Yang Yezi stammered a little.
"Sister Ye, what kind of mess have you been thinking about all day long? I came in just to sleep and didn't have anything else in mind! Shen Yan said with a smile, making Yang Yezi a big red face!
