Pastoral Chronicle of Space

Chapter 11
There were only three sets of his own clothes plus the old man and Xiao Shitou. Tian Tian poured a little laundry detergent, rubbed them a few times, and washed them three times, and they were done in no time.

In his previous life, Tian Tian often washed and cooked meals outside, so it wasn't too difficult.

After washing the clothes and seeing that it was getting late, Tian Tian was ready to make dumplings.

First use the wheat flour and noodles grown in the space, and keep all the crops grown in the space for Tian Tian to eat at home. It is good to eat good things!

He took out a piece of fresh pork raised in the space. This is a batch of livestock raised in the previous space, all slaughtered and the meat decomposed.There is a lot of meat in the space, and they are all placed in the cave under the space mountain.

Tian Tian chops the minced meat, puts it in a large bowl, adds the pre-soaked onion and ginger water, stirs in one direction, and pours in olive oil after stirring until the meat is strong, so that the oil is used to lock the water, and the meat is tender and juicy , and finally add chopped green peppers, and the stuffing is ready.

"Little Shitou, help my sister light the fire, and my sister will make dumplings for you."

The little man packed up his notebook and pen in twos and twos, and ran into the kitchen to help.

After the original owner's parents left, the family hadn't eaten dumplings for several years, so of course Xiao Shitou was hungry!

The old man can cook, but he really can't cook dumplings, which are delicate pasta.

There are no quick-frozen dumplings for sale now, and the young and old have long been greedy for dumplings!

"Have you finished writing today?"

"There are two more lines."

"Then write after dinner, and I'll give you candy."

"Thank you sister."

"Well, that's nice."

One candy a day, the little guy sat contentedly in front of the stove and skillfully lit the fire. He was well-behaved and sensible, and he didn't like going out to play very much.

The original owner started teaching his younger brother pinyin and counting last year. The little guy has started to learn new words for the second grade this year. He is very smart!

Tian Tian was rolling out the leather and wrapping it, and the small ingots with big bellies were neatly arranged on the bamboo cover.

The skill of making dumplings was learned by Tian Tian from her grandma and grandma in her previous life. During the holidays, the whole family gathers together to roll out the skin and make dumplings. Even her two elder brothers can make dumplings. I really miss them.

"Little Shitou, do you want to learn how to pack?"

Stone shook his head quickly.

That's right, food is expensive these days, so if you don't dare to waste food, if any child plays with it, you will have to beat him to death.

"It's okay, my sister will teach you, just put some stuffing on the dumpling wrappers, and then pinch the edges tightly, try it! Little Shitou is so smart and cute, the dumplings he made will definitely be the same as yours."

The little guy was still hesitant looking at it, for fear of spoiling the food.

"It's okay, even if the package is not good, you can still eat it."

After Tian Tian said this, the little guy ran out, and after a while, another gust of wind came in. It turned out that he was washing his hands.

Tian Tian took a dumpling wrapper, put some stuffing on it for him, and taught him to pinch the sides tightly.

"It's well wrapped, isn't it very simple? Try it yourself, and put a little less stuffing."

The little guy is really smart, the bag looks good, and the sides are pinched tightly.

"Our stone is really smart, and the bag is so beautiful, as cute as you."

The little guy was a little shy when Tian Tian praised him, his face turned red, he was so cute!
The water in the pot boiled for a while, and the siblings made a whole big grass-covered dumpling.The skin and filling are just right, these dumplings are enough for the three of them to eat two meals.

Xiao Shitou went to the house to check the time, it was already 11:30, why hasn't the old man come back yet?

Tian Tian added some cold water to the pot, and the siblings went to the door to wait.

After waiting for a while, I saw the old man carrying a hoe from a distance, and the tall figure came slowly.

Seeing Tian Tian sister and brother at the door, the old man's steps were obviously straddled, and he arrived in front of the sister and brother within a few steps.

"Why are you standing here, baby?"

The old man only has his granddaughter in his eyes, so you can't see such a big grandson?
"My brother and I are waiting for grandpa to eat."

"Is everything ready, baby?"

"Well, we made dumplings, stuffed with pork. Grandpa, you go wash your face first, and I'll cook the dumplings. The boiled dumplings will be ready soon."

Tian Tian ran to the kitchen to order dumplings, while the old man washed his hands in the yard.

"Why is my darling so capable? She can make dumplings. Grandpa needs to eat more today."

The eldest grandson was ignored by the old man to the end, and the little stone was used to it.

After a while, the chubby dumplings jumped into the pot one by one, the pot was boiled and cold water was added, and the dumplings came out of the pot for the third time when the water boiled.

This is the experience taught by the old man, two water three boiled, the dumplings are ready.

Xiao Shishi set up the bowls and chopsticks, stood by the stove and looked at the dumplings in the pot, as if the dumplings would run away if he didn't pay attention, which made people feel distressed.

The swollen dumplings filled three large plates, and Tian Tian cooked another pot.

The old man moved his chopsticks first, dipped the swollen dumplings in vinegar, and when he bit open the skin, the soup flowed out. The skin was really thin, the meat was tender and the peppers were crispy, and the taste was full of flavor.

"I've eaten a lot of dumplings, but I've never tasted such delicious ones! I, my boy, can't compare to the chefs in Kyoto. They all talk about how good they are, and even a ten-year-old child can't compare ,What is the use?"

The old man's words are really hateful, but they are also true.

The good things produced in the space, coupled with Tian Tian's passable craftsmanship, it's hard not to taste good!

The old man and Shitou happily ate dumplings.

"After eating, I'll bring you a plate for Grandpa Lu, and let him try my granddaughter's cooking."

It's fake for you to send dumplings, but it's true to show off your granddaughter, Tian Tian thought to himself.

"It just so happens that the pot is ready. You and the stone are eating. I'll send it over right away. If it's late, everyone will have finished their meal."

"Well, send it and come back quickly."

Tian Tian put two plates of dumplings on the dining table, put the rest of the pot in a big bowl, covered it with a plate, and sent it to Mr. Lu.

Although Mr. Lu lives next door, there is a piece of land and a small bamboo forest in between.

The old couple lived in a small yard, with only two rooms.One for living, one for cooking, and a small vegetable field in the yard.

It was the old man who came forward to let them live in this house, the team agreed to let them live in it, and the people who are sent down usually live in the cowshed, but they are not as comfortable as they are!

The old couple is also eating in the kitchen, a plate of pickles, a plate of green vegetables with a few slices of meat in it, a bowl of four or five steamed sweet potatoes, and a bowl of corn porridge for each person. Life is pretty good.

"Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, I made some food at home, and grandpa said I'll give you some to try."

When Tian Tian came in, he called for someone, and his words were polite.

"Tiantian is here! You can just eat, what else do you give? Your grandpa is really good!"

Mrs. Lu knew that she was nervous about eating now, and she couldn't accept it.

"Here's the child and take it away. Old Tian is the only one. If you don't accept him, he should be angry. He's very angry!"

For people who come here in strong winds and waves, Mr. Lu doesn't say much about this kind of thing, just keep it in his heart.

The old lady took it and was pleasantly surprised when she opened the bowl.

"It's dumplings! Brother Tian doesn't know how to cook this food, you must have made it, right? Tian Tian is capable, your grandpa is lucky!"

"I'm also learning how to make it. How about you try it?"

Mr. Lu looked at the dumplings and tasted one first.Now I don't eat my own food, just eat dumplings. Fortunately, a big bowl is enough for two old people.

"Old lady, bring the vinegar, this dumpling is really delicious!"

The old lady thought that the old man was flattering, and it would be good to eat dumplings, so she didn't think much about it.

"Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold, I'll go back first."

"Okay, you must not have eaten yet, hurry home and eat, thank you grandpa!"

The old lady was also happy when she saw Tian Tian go out.

After bidding farewell to the two elders, Tian Tian took the bowl and went home.

Old man Lu didn't even lift his head when he ate.

"Old woman, hurry up and eat, or I will eat it all."

"It's no wonder that you can finish this big bowl. This kid Tiantian is really good! He is well-behaved, filial, hardworking and tall. I don't blame Brother Tian for his heartache."

"There's nothing wrong with Lao Tian's family. That kid Jianjun is so good. There's nothing to say about his looks or ability, but... hey... let's not talk, let's eat dumplings."

"Oh, it's so delicious, I don't know how this little girl made it? It's really what you said, it's so delicious! This little girl..."

The old lady was full of praise after taking a bite, so it turned out that her old man was not talking nonsense!
