I burn big seats in the countryside

Chapter 25

People in the yard gathered around one after another. Seeing the prepared dumpling fillings, they all offered to help make dumplings.

Everyone wants to participate in this lively atmosphere.

By the way, let's take a look at the depth of Yunxi's culinary skills, whether it is embroidery boxing, which is fancy but not useful.

From the moment they entered the door, everyone didn't understand why they were looking for a young cook. Although they didn't have a meal in the middle of the morning.

Just look at the proficiency of knife skills and food preparation, as well as the prepared dumpling filling. Although I didn't eat the cooked rice, I could smell the aroma of the dumpling filling.

Just because of the strength of the prepared dumpling stuffing, I think the chef is pretty good, but I don't know if it's okay just because of his cooking skills.

According to the custom of Qi Taobo's village, dumplings are served at banquets for children, as the so-called welcoming dumplings and giving noodles.

A child is the arrival of a new life, so the day before the banquet, the helpers stay for dinner, which is also called opening the happy door.

What I eat at Kaiximen today is dumplings.

There are many people eating, everyone helps together, the kitchen is now more lively, kneading dough, rolling dumpling wrappers, making dumplings.

The appearance of dumplings is made in different ways in the hands of different aunts and aunts.

Some are in the style of ingots, the most are ordinary dumplings with big belly, and there are also those in the style of ears of wheat. There are many patterns.

The dumpling wrapper is rolled thick in the middle and thin at the edges, so that when pinched, the filling will stretch out the belly, and the pleats on the edges will not be too thick due to overlapping, so that it will not affect the taste.

In the kitchen, people are happily making dumplings and chatting, and the smell of pork slowly diffuses out. When they smell the smell of stewed meat, some of the aunts and ladies who make dumplings start to growl. .

The aunts who were screaming in their stomachs blushed a little and said:
"It is said that I have eaten in the morning, and now I can smell the aroma of this stewed meat, and I can't help it."

"The smell of meat is delicious, and I am too. I can't help but feel greedy."

The other aunt smiled, swallowed, and said:
"Stop talking, I can't help drooling, I've been swallowing quietly for a long time."

Hearing this, everyone started to laugh out loud.

The people in the yard who helped to set up the scene also smelled the fragrance from the kitchen and were intoxicated by it.

A little brother under the eaves held the ladder and said:

"Hey, brother, tell me, where did Brother Tao find the chef? This smell makes me lose my mind to work."

On the ladder, the eldest brother is standing on the lantern wire, holding pliers and tape in his hand, looking at the younger brother below who only cares about the smell of the rice, and he can smell the smell of the rice, so let’s do the work first, and talk about eating later .

So I put the tape and pliers into my trouser pocket, slowly sat in the middle of the top of the ladder, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and said:

"You foodie, I'm still working on it, you hold the ladder well for me, just like a widow lost her son, looking around, don't hold the ladder well."

Hearing the big brother yelling from above, knowing that the big brother must be hungry too, he would complain bluntly that he was the influence.

What's more, he insisted on showing the big brother's posture, taking the job of installing the lantern, and pulling himself.

From the morning to now, there are a total of 6 places where lanterns are installed, all under the eaves. I am carrying a ladder and holding a tool bag. My brother has not started working yet. The tools can hold more than 10 lanterns. up.

That work is absolutely full of style. I was a small worker and ran all over the yard carrying a ladder. When the eldest brother arrived, he installed a lantern and reworked it twice, and installed three in one morning.

With such a good kung fu, I am hungry even if I run with great strength, and with this meaty smell, I want to eat a long time ago.

The ladder is very stable and doesn't need to be held on at all, but the eldest brother doesn't like it, so he let himself hold on to the ladder, afraid of falling off.

Looking at the anxious elder brother on the ladder, he raised his head and grinned, saying with a smile:
"I see. I'll give you good support. You can just work. I can feel your legs shaking. Why are you shaking? I'm holding you up."

Seeing the grinning brother who raised his head and talked, he felt even more annoyed. He felt that it was very laborious to install the lantern on the top, but the younger brother was fine, standing below and talking sarcasticly. The big brother on the ladder who was angry, scolded:

"You know my legs are shaking, and I've been talking about eating, eating, and distracting me. You distracted me, talking about eating. I'll go down and unload your steel teeth first. Do you hear me?" .”

Seeing that the big brother on the ladder was already impatient, he quickly closed his mouth, thinking about what this had to do with my steel teeth, but he didn't dare to say more, so he said:

"Ah, I got it, you can pretend quickly, dinner will be served soon."

After hearing what the younger brother said, the eldest brother on the ladder then stood up to install the lantern.

In the kitchen, the sour soup dumplings need to adjust the sauce first, and the dumplings have already been cooked in the pot.

In another pot, Yunxi has prepared the ingredients for dumplings in sour soup. Finally, pour hot oil, let the hot oil thoroughly blend the flavors of garlic, chili, sesame, and green onion, and stimulate the aroma. Then pour in mature vinegar and light soy sauce, add Oyster sauce, sugar, chicken powder and salt, just stir well.

If you want to eat dumplings in sour soup, you can put the dumplings in soup into the bowl and add the prepared sour soup. If you want to eat dry dumplings, just take the dumplings and eat them in a small bowl with sour soup.

There are two ways to eat the dumplings. After the dumplings are cooked, Qi Taobo, his wife, and his father all come out to eat. Afraid that the child will cry, Qi Taobo's mother stays in the house, coaxing the child first and letting them eat first. to eat.

Yunxi also made cold dishes, vermicelli and shredded bean curd skin, mixed with spinach and bean sprouts, and chopped peanuts, and mixed in a large pot.

There are 4 tables for the helpers, and they are all seated early.

Only the two brothers who installed the lantern hadn't finished their work, and they were arguing under the eaves.

Probably because the younger brother wanted to leave, but the elder brother refused to let him go.

The sour soup dumplings are served by yourself, and you take the bowl to serve the dumplings and soup.

For those who don’t eat dumplings in sour soup, there are dumplings that have been fished out and other sauces on the table.

Take a bite of the cold dish first, and there is a crunchy sound in the mouth. The taste of the cold dish is crisp, there is no extra soup, the bean sprouts are tender and loud, the vermicelli is smooth and firm, and the peanuts are crispy and sweet. Fragrance, that is a refreshing.

People who eat cold salad, after eating the first thing in their mouths, the crisp taste makes people appetite. There is no dumpling in the bowl, but a bowl of cold salad first, and the cold salad is eaten first. eat dumplings.

At this time, Qi Taobo's father was holding a bowl and eating dumplings, and the two brothers who went to ask to pick up the lanterns also ate together.

Qi Taobo's father saw that his two nephews were still working there, how could this work, it would be a pity to miss such a delicious dish.

Sitting at the dinner table, the two of them ate and served the food, and the troubles of bickering just now disappeared in an instant, and they laughed unconsciously.

It may also feel that the two of them have achieved nothing. They failed to connect the 6 lanterns all morning, and the uncle who returned the meal went to invite them.

The food sure enough was peacemaker at its best.

Looking at the dumplings on the table, they are white and fat, neatly arranged, and they look delicious.

Pick up a fat-bellied dumpling and put it into a bowl. As soon as the chopsticks open it, the filling juice slowly leaks out, and the fragrance wafts out instantly.

The fragrance of celery in the dumplings, coupled with the firmness of the meat filling, exudes a seductive taste.

One bite into the mouth, the juice splashes, the salty sweetness is moderate, the crispness of the celery, and the tenderness of the pork, the taste is in every part of the mouth, and every small tongue coating on the tongue is absorbing the umami of the dumplings.

Those who eat dumplings in sour soup are paired with a mouthful of hot and sour soup. The moment they swallow it, all the taste buds are stimulated. One mouthful of dumplings and one mouthful of soup, while eating and drinking, the taste is refreshing and fragrant.

Some just eat dumplings without dipping in any sauce. After eating the dumplings, they drink a bowl of dumpling soup.

Qi Taobo's mother, who was watching her grandson in the house, heard the sounds outside, the movement of eating, and smelled the aroma of dumplings.

I couldn't help holding the child, walked to the glass, looked out of the window after a while, to see if anyone had finished eating, and came over to replace myself.

After watching it back and forth for more than ten times, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I called my wife and complained:

"I know you eat it, and you don't think about it. Where am I going?"

When Qi Taobo's father received a call from his wife, he was so busy eating dumplings that he almost forgot that there was still an old woman watching his grandson at home, so he hadn't eaten yet.

Hurry up and hang up the phone, go to the kitchen and bring two big bowls, a bowl of dumplings, and a bowl of cold dishes into the room.

Qi Taobo's mother, who was holding the child, was instantly happy when her wife brought in the meal, and the sadness on her face disappeared.

I just stared at the two big bowls, I was already hungry by the smell of meat, and with the smell of the dumplings, I couldn't wait to eat the dumplings and cold dishes.
