Carrying ex-boyfriend to farm

Chapter 340 Practice
Before dawn the next day, Yun Xiaoxiao opened his eyes and prepared to get up.

Today, Xu Donglin and others are likely to leave. They have to get up early to roll out the dumpling wrappers, make dumpling fillings, and then make dumplings for everyone to eat.

At that time, I will be full and warm, and I will be energetic on the road.

After Yun Xiaoxiao got dressed, she got out of bed, put on her shoes, combed her hair casually with a comb, and then went to the kitchen to fetch hot water with a washbasin and a washcloth.

As a result, as soon as I walked out of the house, I was surprised to find that the yard was full of bundles of dry firewood, and there were a lot of wild vegetables and fruits piled up on the ground, and there were even pheasants and eggs.

Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look up at the sky, wondering if some kind person airdropped supplies to her last night, otherwise these things would appear in her yard out of thin air.

"Good morning, little lady."

At this moment, Xu Donglin's gang came back carrying a large bundle of dry firewood.His hands were not idle, and he was actually carrying a lot of wild vegetables and fruits.

"You are this?"

Yun Xiaoxiao was a little confused, wondering what they were doing?
Those men put dry firewood and wild vegetables on the ground, and said with a smile.

"Little lady, isn't it getting colder and colder today? We wanted to get you some more dry firewood to pile up, so that you don't have to run up the mountain every day in the cold."

"There are also these wild vegetables. Knowing that the little lady likes them, we went to dig some more and came back. When the time comes, put them in a cool and ventilated place, and we can keep them for a while."

"We also found these pheasants and eggs on the mountain, so we just put them in a pot. The lady is pregnant now, so she must eat more oily ones for her health."

Obviously, these subordinates also knew that they were going back to the frontier.Thinking of receiving a lot of favors at Yun Xiaoxiao's house, he wanted to do something within his power before leaving.

As for the things in the yard, maybe it wasn't before dawn, so they ran to the mountains to dump them.When thinking of this, Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel warmly moved, and thanked him sincerely, "You guys are interested, thank you."

With just these firewood, it can be burned for ten days and half a month.

Those subordinates scratched their heads in embarrassment and said, "Little lady, you don't need to thank you, we should do something for free."

When these people are at home, they don't necessarily eat meat once in a year or so.But when I came to Yunxiaoxiao’s house, it was not only full, but also delicious. I ate meat several times.

Do some work, of course.

The polite words were not more than once or twice, and Yun Xiaoxiao stopped talking nonsense, but said bluntly, "These things are enough, and you don't have to run to the mountains anymore. Hurry up and pack up, and get ready to make dumplings together Bar."

"Okay, little lady, let's help you make dumplings!" Those men rushed to the well, fetched water and began to wash their hands and faces to wash off the dust.

It was cold today, Yun Xiaoxiao felt cold with cold water, so she still washed with hot water.As soon as he entered the stove, he saw Yun Dashan sitting in front of the stove with a book in his arms, studying while steaming potatoes and sweet potatoes, paying attention to the heat from time to time.

Since we mainly eat dumplings today, so potatoes and sweet potatoes are everyone's breakfast today.

"Morning, Dad." Yun Xiaoxiao greeted after entering the kitchen.

"Girl, you're up." Yun Dashan hurriedly put the book away and put it in his arms.

Yun Xiaoxiao walked up to the cauldron of hot water, poured the hot water into the wooden basin, and said, "Father, I may trouble you to steam some more sweet potatoes today, and then Xu Donglin When they leave, they can take it with them and eat it on the road."

"Okay, no problem." Yun Dashan readily agreed.

Steaming potatoes and sweet potatoes is actually very simple, just add water under the pot, put washed sweet potatoes on the top of the pot, and then put it on the fire and wait.If you eat it by yourself, it is better to cut the sweet potatoes into pieces, which is convenient to eat.

Yun Xiaoxiao added cold water and hot water to neutralize it, and began to wash her face when the water was neither too cold nor too hot.Thinking that he didn't know how to roll dumpling wrappers or make dumpling fillings, he hurriedly asked, "Father, do you know how to make dumplings?"

When I bought it, I thought about eating dumplings, but I didn't think that I wouldn't know how to do this.

This question stumped Yun Dashan, "Girl, I know how to make dumplings. It's just that the skin is wrapped with stuffing. It's just that it doesn't look good, but I don't know how to roll dumpling skins and make dumpling stuffing."

Both father and daughter are stumped by these two problems.

But it doesn't matter, we don't know how to do it ourselves, and we can ask other people to help us.

Bai Chi walked up with a sigh of relief, not forgetting to say hello.

"Daddy, morning!"

"Daughter-in-law, morning!"

Bai Chi, who was still in low spirits a few days ago, suddenly became full of vigor today.

"Morning!" Yun Dashan and Yun Xiaoxiao replied in unison.

"Father, daughter-in-law, do you need me to do anything?" Bai Chi took the initiative to say that he wanted to work today.

"Chop meat stuffing, make onion and garlic, wash cabbage, roll out dumpling wrappers, make dumpling stuffing, make dumplings, do whatever you think you can do." They are all my family members, and since they have to work, there is no need to be polite.

Before Bai Chi could answer, the gang came in to answer.

"Little lady, I have the strength, I'll chop the minced meat."

"Little lady, I'll make shallots and garlic!"

"Little lady, I'll wash the cabbage!"

……

As expected, there are many people and strength, and the quickness of making dumplings is almost divided in an instant.In the end, only Guan rolled the dumpling wrappers and made dumpling fillings, but no one claimed them.

Looking at the white flour, Yun Xiaoxiao felt a headache.If you want to eat it for your own family, just go to the delivery system to buy dumpling wrappers.But with outsiders around, you still have to keep a low profile.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Bai Chi was the last one to stand up and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, let me roll the dumpling wrappers and make the dumpling fillings."

When the two of them are together, Bai Chi doesn't know how to cook, it's Yun Xiaoxiao who cooks.Seeing Bai Chi undertake the most difficult process, Yun Xiaoxiao asked in disbelief, "You... know how to do it?"

As if he knew that Yun Xiaoxiao would ask such a question, he suddenly asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you still remember the dumplings I gave you when we first celebrated the New Year?"

"Remember." Yun Xiaoxiao nodded.

That year, Yun Xiaoxiao had some disagreements with his family, so he didn't go back to his hometown for the New Year.So I watched the Spring Festival Gala at home alone, without a big dinner, and without anyone to accompany me.

The laughter next door seemed to have nothing to do with him.

After Bai Chi knew about this, he came all the way to Yun Xiaoxiao's house.Thirty years of Chinese New Year, plus no car at night, I just spent [-] yuan to come here on a battery car.

The cold wind was blowing all the way, and the snot was blown out, and it was frozen like a dog shivering non-stop.And Bai Chi did this only to deliver dumplings to Yun Xiaoxiao.

It was the period of passionate love, and everything was unforgettable series.

But I don't know why Bai Chi brought up this matter at this time.

Bai Chi lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Actually, those are the dumplings I made for you myself."

Yun Xiaoxiao didn't believe it, "No, didn't you say that your mother did it?"

Only then did Bai Chi explain, "That... At that time... it was the first time I made dumplings. I was afraid that you would think it was not delicious, so I deliberately lied and said that my mother made the dumplings."

Yun Xiaoxiao didn't remember exactly what that dumpling was, but because she felt very happy and sweet at the time, she thought that dumpling was super delicious, the best dumpling she had ever eaten in her life.

Bai Chi continued as if recalling, "At that time, my mother knew that I was making dumplings for my girlfriend, so she taught me how to make them. Although I haven't done it for a long time, there shouldn't be any problems."

After all, this happened a long time ago, and Bai Chi didn't cook anymore, Yun Xiaoxiao was afraid that Bai Chi would mess it up, so she cautiously asked, "Bai Chi, are you sure you can?"

Bai Chi suddenly looked seriously at Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes, and asked in a very serious tone, "Xiaoxiao, please trust me again, is that okay?"

Yun Xiaoxiao stood there and hesitated for a long time. After all, this was a practice meal for Xu Donglin and others. Under Bai Chi's sincere gaze, she finally chose to nod, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, but if you do Damn it, I'm not done with you!"

"Don't worry, I promise I won't let you down." Bai Chi added another sentence in his heart, my own woman doesn't need other men to feed her delicious food.

Thinking of Xu Donglin's grilled fish yesterday being finished by Yun Xiaoxiao, Bai Chi swore that today's dumplings would not disappoint Yun Xiaoxiao, and even wanted to slap these elders who looked down on him.

Men, you have to stand up!
Bai Chi was also unambiguous, rolled up his sleeves and started working.

First take out a basin, pour the flour directly into it, and stir while pouring water until all the flour is mixed into a flour floc, and then add a spoonful of salt.

Knead the flour wadding into a smooth dough and let it rest for later use.

Then roll the dough into long strips and divide into small dough balls.

Next, flatten it and roll it out.

Hold the dumpling wrapper with the thumb and index finger of your left hand, turn it to the left, press the rolling pin with your right hand, roll it up and down, and roll it to a suitable size.

In this way, the dumpling skin was rolled out.

The dumpling skin can be flawed, but the dumpling meat is the soul of the dumpling.

So, this process is the most important.

After those people chopped the minced meat, Bai Chi followed the recipe in memory and put various seasonings on the minced meat, including cabbage, eggs, chopped green onion...then stir it evenly to taste.

Then Bai Chi continued to roll out the dumpling wrappers, while the rest of the people made the dumplings by hand. While making the dumplings happily, they did not forget to complain about the ugly ones made by others.

"Gangzi, the dumplings you made look like shit!"

"What do you know, my name is Jin Yuanbao!"

It doesn't matter whether the dumplings look good or not, they just need to wrap the meat with the skin so that it won't fall out, anyway, they won't dislike it if they eat it by themselves.

When the hot water in the pot begins to boil, you can cook the wrapped dumplings in the pot, and it will be more fragrant when cooked with cabbage.But after a while, the strong smell of meat and vegetables came to the nostrils, and everyone's saliva almost flowed out.

If you can't eat spicy food, just pour some soup, put some lard, soy sauce, vinegar and green onion, and you can eat it.As for those who can eat it, they will directly make a night of delicious chili dipped in water and eat it.

There are a lot of dumplings today, but there is no rule on how much to eat. Yun Xiaoxiao let everyone open their stomachs and eat as much as they want. Maybe this is their last delicious meal this year.

Xu Donglin did not participate in making dumplings today, but quietly buried himself in writing in his room.Seeing this, Yun Xiaoxiao cooked a large bowl of dumplings in the kitchen and brought them in.

Yun Xiaoxiao carefully placed the bowl containing the hot dumplings on the table, and then reminded him softly, "Brother Xu, stop writing, let's eat the dumplings first."

"Thank you." Xu Donglin stopped writing and looked up. He didn't know if he felt hungry, or he really thought this bowl of dumplings was delicious, so he picked it up and ate it.

"Are you leaving today?" Although Yun Xiaoxiao knew they were leaving, she still asked.

"En." Xu Donglin responded.

"When?" Yun Xiaoxiao continued to ask.

"Let's do it at night, it won't attract attention." Xu Donglin didn't hide anything this time.

"The potatoes and sweet potatoes in the field are all ready. After you finish eating the dumplings, dig them out and take them with you when the time comes." Yun Xiaoxiao thought that they wanted potatoes and sweet potatoes, so she suggested directly.

"We dug it away, do you have enough food for the winter?" Xu Donglin obviously had the same idea.

"Enough." Yun Xiaoxiao nodded.

"That's fine, then we'll poach them all. As for the registration of the two men in your family, the county magistrate will take care of it for you. They just wait for the exam in the spring of next year." Before leaving, Xu Donglin made it clear what he was going to say.

"Then you're gone, will you still hire a teacher for them?" Yun Xiaoxiao worried that without a teacher, Bai Chi and Yun Dashan would not be able to be directly admitted to the scholar next year.

"As long as the two of them can memorize the book I wrote word for word, there is no problem in taking the imperial examination casually, without a teacher." Xu Donglin said this confidently, as if what he wrote was this year's book. The key points of the imperial examination are general.

"That's good." Yun Xiaoxiao didn't doubt anything, obviously thinking that the other party didn't need to lie to her as a country woman.As I thought at the beginning, if I really can't pass the exam at that time, there is nothing wrong with being an honest landlord.

The dumplings were very hot, and Xu Donglin ate them very carefully, knowing that it was only a bite. The strong meaty aroma and the ability to sweep the entire taste buds, coupled with the perfect combination of seasonings, were especially delicious.

Xu Donglin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked, "Little lady, are these the dumplings you made?"

Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head, "This is the dumpling that all of us made together, and I only participated in the making of the dumpling."

Xu Donglin took another bite, and couldn't help but praise, "The dumplings are delicious."

Today, dumplings are mainly made for Xu Donglin and others, so Yun Xiaoxiao's family didn't eat them. Seeing that Bai Chi's craftsmanship has not failed, he said with a smile, "It's delicious, so eat more. It's not enough. There are still dumplings in the kitchen." a lot of."

Xu Donglin finished eating a bowl of dumplings, and also drank the oily soup. He didn't even spare the green onion on the wall of the bowl. He seemed very satisfied, and there was an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Yun Xiaoxiao got up, took the bowl and chopsticks and left.

Unexpectedly, Xu Donglin suddenly stopped her, "Little lady, wait a minute."

Yun Xiaoxiao asked puzzled, "Is there something wrong?"

Xu Donglin handed a piece of jade pendant directly to Yun Xiaoxiao, and then said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, take this jade pendant to the government, and naturally someone will help you solve the problem."

Yun Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "Brother Xu, I don't think I need it."

Xu Donglin raised his eyes and said, "This... just treat it as your reward for telling us that sweet potatoes can satisfy hunger and produce high yields. If you don't need them, then I owe you a favor, do you understand?"

Yun Xiaoxiao reached out and took the jade pendant, "I can accept the reward that belongs to me. In this way, we will not owe each other money and goods, I understand."

The two looked at each other and smiled, maybe they will be strangers when they meet again in the future.
