Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 147 Mackerel Dumplings
Gao sent a bunch of lively seafood, saying that King Zheng bought them from fishermen on the seashore when he was training the navy in Jeju, and he arranged for a fast horse to send them to the capital as soon as they were salvaged from the sea. Fish and shrimp Not even alive.

More than half of them were paid filial piety to the palace by King Zheng, and the rest were divided between the Wangfu and the Shangshufu of the Ministry of Industry.

Although the fishermen have dealt with them in their own way, these seafood are still alive soon after leaving the sea. Princess Zheng looked at a lot of them, and she couldn't finish them all alone in the mansion. Thinking that He Shaoguang likes to eat, she sent someone to Brought more to her.

The smile on He Shaoguang's face at this moment is very sincere: full of sea oysters, thick sea cucumbers, and delicious bird shells, scallops, conch, Spanish mackerel...

She hurriedly ordered that the small kitchen of Qiangweiyuan couldn't fit these things, and asked the servants to move to the big kitchen.

It just so happened that the few pots of peppers that Bai Yanqing gave had also grown fruit.

He Shaoguang carefully cared for it for several months according to the cultivation methods described by some nonsense people, and finally saw the bright red peppers in his memory.

She happily rubbed her hands to prepare, and wanted to make these into fish sauce.

Just in time for the winter solstice, a large plate of mackerel dumplings is made with fresh mackerel. It is fresh and delicious. This is a unique feature of Jeju.

She has never tried mackerel dumplings before.

But after fumbling to process the fish, clean it and cut it into large pieces for easy access to the meat.

Slice the flesh from the fish, wash it, and remove the skin.She remembered that the Spanish mackerel had to be skinned, otherwise it would be fishy and unpalatable.

Then wash and cut the leeks, and put them in a basin aside for later use.Then adjust the noodles, after the noodles are adjusted, put them aside to wake up.

After all the other materials were prepared, He Shaoguang concentrated on handling the fish.

She cut small pieces along the texture of the fish, and cleaned all the bones in the middle.Beat the processed fish meat on the board.

This step is to increase the toughness. Add an equal portion of hog meat and soaked pepper water to the beaten fish and stir, and mix well with seasonings such as soy sauce, salt, onion and ginger.

The key is in the beating, be sure to stir the minced meat clockwise, add green onion and ginger water and stir until it becomes porridge, grab it and float it in cold water, and finally add salt and oil.

He Shaoguang fumbled for everyone's tastes, and she divided the filling into two parts, one half with leeks and the other half without. At this time, the dough was ready and ready to be rolled out to make dumplings.

It was too much work for one person, so she set up a long table in the yard and invited others to join her.

The children have all heard the story of Zhang Zhongjing using Jiaoer to treat frozen ears, so they are eager to try it.

Among the grown-ups, Lu Xiaowen was forcibly "conscripted", and there were the sister-in-law's family and Shi Nianjiao who volunteered, basically the whole family gathered together.

Xiao Mingrui was hugged and coaxed by the nanny, and watched them silently from the corridor.It's still early at this moment, and when the sun sets again and the temperature drops, she can only enjoy it from the window in the house.

He Shaoguang was in charge of rolling the skin, others were in charge of making dumplings, and the two children did not count.

He Shaoguang warned them in advance: "Don't make dumpling wrappers, whoever made them today will eat them all!"

With the help of his elder brother, Lu Mingzhen washed his hands excitedly, and raised himself up to assure himself: "I must make the most beautiful dumplings!"

It's a pity that the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny.The dumpling wrapper in Lu Mingyan's hand scooped two big spoonfuls of stuffing from the beginning, but a dumpling wrapper couldn't hold it.

He closed the two sides with difficulty, and the dumpling burst open immediately with a bulging belly.

He hastily pinched the broken part again, unexpectedly tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, the other part was cracked again.

When He Shaoguang rolled the skin, he saw his embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help pinching his nose without washing his hands, leaving two white finger marks on the nose in an instant.

"There's too much stuffing, why don't you try just one spoonful?"

Lu Mingyan said in his heart that he did it on purpose because he wanted to eat a dumpling with twice the filling.

Lu Mingyan took another piece of leather, this time he only scooped a spoonful of stuffing, and it was easily closed.

But because he was too careful when putting the stuffing, he shook his hand and dropped half a spoonful, so the dumpling had a flat belly and couldn't stand up at all.

Lu Mingyan pursed his mouth, but he was not discouraged. He continued to move his hands, and finally the dumplings made after five or six looked good and plump.

Even if his start was like this, Lu Mingzhen's side was even more blind. He made a fuss with his hands, clamoring to wash his hands, and after washing his hands, he came back to harm other dumpling wrappers.

He Shaoguang quickly handed her one, and pushed her to Lu Mingyan's side: "Be good, you just play with this, don't waste it!"

Under Lu Mingyan's supervision, Lu Mingzhen had no other chance to harm her.

The dumpling wrappers were rolled out very quickly. They were all people who had never been in the kitchen. They couldn't keep up with the wrapping speed, and a pile of dumpling wrappers piled up on the table.

Shi Nianjiao saw that she was resting there after rolling and watching them, she raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "What are you doing there just watching! Why don't you come to help us? You invited us to eat dumplings today..."

He Shaoguang tried his best to reject her: "I think you guys have done a good job, so I won't join."

The refusal was useless, once Shi Nianjiao and Xu Ruyun held her up and put her between them, she couldn't escape.

He Shaoguang cried to Xu Ruyun: "Sister-in-law...you have become good or bad!"

Xu Ruyun avoided her accusation, turned a blind eye, and gently put a dumpling wrapper in her palm: "Second brother and sister are the most skillful hands."

Seeing that crying with Xu Ruyun was futile, He Shaoguang flattened his lips and began to eliminate the piles of hills on the table.

With her joining, the speed was much faster than the naked eye. Seeing that the time was running out, she became playful and squeezed a naive little pig—it was Lu Xiaowen's zodiac sign.

She walked up to him, lightly put the piglet on his arm, and stood firmly.

Lu Xiaowen was concentrating on fighting with the dumplings, when suddenly there was a soft feeling on his sideways forearm, he moved his eyes to look over, and saw He Shaoguang carefully put the pig on his hand, not daring to breathe out, afraid of breathing heavily Blow the piglet down.

He Shaoguang was caught doing bad things, so he secretly smiled at him.

Turning around, he wanted to escape back to his original position, but was carried back by Lu Xiaowen, standing beside him: "Not honest."

There were about [-] dumplings made, and it was estimated that everyone in the Lu Mansion would not be able to eat all of them, so they borrowed flowers and presented Buddhas and sent some of the dumplings back to Gao to try them out.

Mrs. Gao accepted rows of round and lovely mackerel dumplings, and prepared to keep them. When King Zheng arrived tomorrow, she would take them out and cook them to taste with him. This also made He Shaoguang show off in front of King Zheng again.

In Lu's Mansion, it was the first time for everyone to taste the method of seafood in sauce, and it was very fresh.

A large table of people sat together after a long absence. The winter solstice dishes are very rich. Except for the Spanish mackerel dumplings that everyone made together in the afternoon, there is also a huge bowl of seafood in sauce placed in the middle.
