Chapter 16 Chinese New Year

"Hong, what are you doing here?" Ji asked, pointing to the dumpling wrappers and blinking with big eyes.

"For making dumplings, come, I'll teach you."

Hong Yi lifted two large kitchen knives and chopped the selected wild boar meat that had been prepared for a long time, and in a short time, the wild boar meat was chopped into meat filling, but unfortunately there were no other vegetable raw materials such as leeks, but fortunately, the meat of the beast melted in the mouth, fat but not greasy, and it was not so particular.

"Ji, I'll teach you how to make dumplings." Hong Yi picked up the dumpling wrapper, "Put the dumpling filling into the wrapper, pinch both sides, and then squeeze the edges of the dumpling wrapper from the middle to both sides." ”

Hong Yi placed the wrapped dumplings on a plate.

"I'll try, I'll try!" Ji excitedly picked up the dumpling skin, then put in a large ball of wild boar filling, wrapped the dumplings, she took her own dumplings and compared Hong Yi's dumplings and asked, "Hong, why are the dumplings we wrap different?" ”

Hong Yi almost laughed out loud, Ji wrapped the dumplings into buns, but he quickly held back, nodded and praised again and again: "Ji is so smart, the dumplings are really big, much more powerful than me, continue to work hard." ”

"Uh-huh." Ji nodded again and again, her little face was red, and her big round eyes were full of excitement.

"Hong, why do we want to make dumplings?" Ji wrapping dumplings...... Baozi, suddenly asked.

"Because of the New Year."

"What is the Chinese New Year?"

Hong Yi was stunned for a moment, then remembered that there is no New Year's custom in the Honghuang world, and after thinking about it, he said: "This New Year, we have to start with a fierce beast called Nian." ”

"Called the beast of the year? Is it strong? Can Hong Yi beat it? ”

"It should be very powerful, Hong Yi can't beat it."

"What then, are we going to run away?"

"Of course you don't have to run away, you have long horns and sharp teeth; Fierce and ferocious, it has lived deep at the bottom of the sea for many years, and every Chinese New Year's Eve will climb ashore and devour livestock to harm human life, but it is very afraid of red, fire and explosion, so we just need to use fireworks to drive it away. Hong Yi pointed to the fireworks he had brought over.

Ji squatted curiously next to the fireworks, looked at Hong Yi with big round eyes and asked, "Hong, how do you get this?" ”

"Meow meow!"

Without waiting for Hong Yi to answer, the little wolf squatted on the fireworks, puffed up his chest, and looked like I would.

"Little wolf, how do you get fireworks?" Ji immediately asked.

"Meow?" The little wolf was stunned.

How did humans ignite this thing? It seems to be looking for some kind of fuse.

The little wolf circled around the fireworks, but couldn't find the fuse, and finally jumped on the fireworks again, holding his head high, looking like 'I don't know how to light it, but I just can't'.

"Little wolf liars!"

"Meow meow!" The little wolf suddenly became anxious, his head was held higher, his paws were clapping his chest, and he looked like I would definitely do.

Ji naturally didn't believe it anymore, turned her head, and looked at Hong with big round eyes.

"Let's eat dumplings and fish first, and teach you after eating." Hong Yi's hand speed is fast now, and a certain animal that has been single for three hundred years is beyond the reach of dust, and he has wrapped all the dumpling skins in a short time.

Uncover the large casserole where the water has been tumbling, pour the dumplings into ten large casseroles on average, stir gently with a huge spoon to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the pot, and after a while, the mouth-watering fragrance came out from the ten large casseroles, and the dumplings floated one by one.

Ji left the fireworks and firecrackers, looked at the big casserole and swallowed his saliva.

The little wolf cub squatted on Hong Yi's bald head, looking at the big casserole, his mouth ~ jaw slightly open.

"Dead wolf! Don't drool! Hong Yi lifted the little wolf cub down.

Hong Yi and the others also gathered around the big casserole, watching the dumplings tumbling in the boiling water.

As the saying goes, it's not as good as dumplings, but it's not as fun as ...... Ahh Dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. This dumpling is really a must-have in the world, although the dumplings made by Hong Yi can only be regarded as a castrated version, but it can't stand the high-end raw materials.

The fragrance of the pot makes you close your eyes and imagine what a delicacy it is.

After Hong Yi said that the dumplings were cooked, everyone held the big bowl in both hands and looked at Hong Yi with blank eyes.

"Both! All of them! Hong Yi used a big spoon to scoop a few round dumplings into Ji's bowl, and then scooped a few dumplings into the small bowl handed over by the little wolf cub.

The little girl and the little wolf cub hurriedly bit down on a dumpling, and their eyes immediately narrowed, and their faces were full of happiness.

The number of dumplings is not much, and it is impossible to eat enough dumplings in everyone's hands, but they can all taste it, Hong Yi ate it at the end, and there were still a few big ...... left in the casserole Bun.

Although the technique of making dumplings is a little worse, and the dumpling skin is a little worse, but the flaws are not hidden, and when you bite into it, it is delicious and juicy, mellow and fragrant.

Everyone gobbled up the dumplings in the bowl, then looked at the big casserole, and found that there was only dumpling soup left in the big casserole, and they all looked at Hong Yi, Hong Yi shrugged his shoulders, and turned the iron bowl in his hand upside down, and a drop of soup did not flow out, indicating that there was really no more.

Everyone swarmed around the big casserole and scooped out the dumpling soup in the pot.

In the end, ten pots of dumplings, not even a little soup left.

The dumplings are just appetizers, and the real meal is grilled fish, and Hong Yi and Hong Yi guarded the big fish by the big river in the grassland for a day.

The fierce beast and big fish in the water are even more huge than the fierce beasts running on land, weighing more than thirty tons, and Hong Yi used up all the condiments grown in the gourd valley to make it into spicy grilled fish.

Compared with stewed meat and barbecue with only salt, this spicy grilled fish has a unique taste, one word is spicy, spicy to high ~ tide, everyone eats sweaty.

"It's even better to have a cold beer at this time." Hong Yi felt sorry in his heart.

After gobbling up and eating, Hong Yi practiced the first layer of the God of War technique, and now he has been able to play the twenty-fourth set of moves, which is the result of nearly two months of hard work.

After a trip to the God of War, Hong Yi's stomach roared like thunder, and he joined the fish-eating army again, sweating like rain.

"Hong, Hong, quickly teach me how to play with this firework."

Hong Yi rubbed Ji's sweat-soaked hair, then moved the fireworks to the center of the open space in the gourd valley, picked up a burning wood in the fire and lit the fireworks fuse.

Rumble!

Fireworks shoot up into the sky, blooming colorful flowers in the sky.

"It's beautiful!"

Ji excitedly led a group of children to bounce around the fireworks, and soon the adults joined the team.

A bucket of fireworks was gone, Ji took the initiative to take on the task of lighting fireworks, watching the magnificent flowers bloom in her hands, her little face was red with excitement.

"Ji, make a New Year's wish."

"Huh?" Ji tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "I want to celebrate next year's New Year with Hong, Little Wolf, Hong Yi, and all the people of the tribe." What about your wishes? ”

"Ji's wish is my wish."
