The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 113 Selling Vegetables (1)
Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Caiwei, what dumpling stuffing did you prepare?"

"I have prepared Chinese cabbage and duck eggs. Jiacheng is now going to the butcher's house in the village to buy meat."

"Then make dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage."

The three of them divided the work, Yu Shi was in charge of kneading the noodles, Li Caiwei was in charge of chopping the cabbage, and Zhou Shi was in charge of filling the dumplings.

Yu quickly took out the rolling pin and rolled out the dumpling wrappers one by one. Li Caiwei helped spread the dumpling wrappers.

After Liu Jiacheng bought the meat, Mrs. Zhou removed the skin of the meat, washed the meat, and chopped it into fine pieces.

Li Caiwei saw that the dumpling skins were almost rolled out and the cabbage was not cleaned, so she quickly took a big bucket, poured clean water, broke open the Chinese cabbage picked from the ground, and put the whole piece of Chinese cabbage into the clean water to wash Clean, Liu Jiahui is responsible for putting the cleaned Chinese cabbage into the big washbasin next to it.

Yu raised her head, looked at the harmonious side, and smiled on the corner of her mouth, "After a few years, Caiwei will grow up, you two hurry up and get married, I'm still waiting to hold a grandson."

Mrs. Zhou was chopping meat. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Sister, Caiwei is smart and capable. You are lucky."

"That's not true. All the villages in the ten miles and eight villages know that Caiwei is a good girl, but I'm worried that Jia Cheng will be angry if she is too good."

"Sister, put your heart on the ground. Compared with girls of average age, Caiwei is much more sensible and has her own thoughts and ideas. In my opinion, she understands things better than some older girls."

Of course, Mrs. Yu knew who Mrs. Zhou was talking about, and her eyes fell on Liu Jialin who was playing beside her. "Only two children suffered."

"No."

Li Caiwei heard the two talking outside the house, but fortunately, they were all praising herself, so she didn't care.The cabbage is almost cleaned, and only the work of cutting is left.

Mrs. Zhou asked her to put the Chinese cabbage in the washbasin, and asked her to boil the water.After waiting for a long time, it was finally time for the dumpling-making session.

Zhou's and Yu's hands and feet are nimble, a piece of dumpling skin, a small lump of meat filling, three or five strokes, a beautiful dumpling is formed.She studied carefully, taking it step by step, but after all, she was the one who had never been hired before, so she was the first one to leave.

Mrs. Zhou taught her by hand, and after three or five, she was able to make decent dumplings.

After the dumplings are almost wrapped, prepare to boil water.When the water was almost boiled, Zhou put the first batch of wrapped dumplings into the pot.

She had only cooked quick-frozen dumplings before, but she had never seen fresh dumplings like this before.

Zhou pushed the pot a few times with a spoon, "Caiwei, let me tell you a secret."

"Second mother, tell me."

Zhou said, "Mix the dumplings with a little cold water 1 minute before serving, and the dumpling skins will be more tender and soft."

No wonder the dumplings she ate before were hard.

After the first batch of dumplings came out, Li Caiwei took out a few and prepared to worship the ancestors.She doesn't believe in Bodhisattva or Tathagata, but after all, she is in the countryside, so she has to do as the Romans do.

After the ancestor worship, Yu brought out a bowl of freshly cooked dumplings, "Caiwei, bring it to your mother."

Li Caiwei entered the room with dumplings, and after feeding the dumplings to Mrs. Lin, the whole family happily sat together and prepared to eat a sumptuous dumpling feast.

Just as I settled down to prepare for the festival, I heard the sound of horseshoes outside.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and they stopped in front of their own yard.

Li Caiwei was startled, immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, went out to have a look, and saw five or six officers and soldiers in official uniforms riding tall horses surrounding the young man in brocade clothes and belts.

It was him, why did he come to the door?
Dongfang Xuanye got off his horse, and the officers and soldiers sitting behind immediately got off their horses and took the whip from him.Dongfang Xuanye patted the dust off his body, his handsome brows frowned, and his eyes fell on Li Caiwei who was standing at the door.Facing the officers and soldiers behind, he said in a more rigid tone, "You can go back."

Yu Shi saw her standing at the door, "Caiwei, who's here?"

Dongfang Xuanye pursed his thin lips when he heard it, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Caiwei, long time no see!"

Seeing that Li Caiwei did not respond, Yu asked Liu Jiacheng to go out to see what happened.As soon as Liu Jiacheng walked to the door, he was surprised to see Dongfang Xuanye.Li Caiwei turned her head and saw that it was Liu Jiacheng, and nothing happened that day, but if she was worried that she would spoil her reputation by talking nonsense, what would she do?Both of them had mixed feelings.Dongfang Xuanye narrowed his eyes and approached Li Caiwei, "Caiwei, why don't you introduce me?"

Li Caiwei was almost choked, her throat was itchy, she couldn't help coughing, and whispered: "Jiacheng, this is a friend I know, Dongfang Xuanye."

Liu Jiacheng stretched out his hand, and Dongfang smiled at him, "Liu Jiacheng!" Although Dongfang Xuanye was smiling on the surface, the strength in his hands became heavier, secretly exerting force, because he had trained in the army all year round, and his physical fitness was better than ordinary people.

Li Caiwei looked suspiciously at the strange way the two shook hands, "Dongfang Xuanye, why do you need to sweat so much?"

Dongfang Xuanye suddenly loosened his strength, and said with a smile, "I didn't stop all the way from the capital, and rushed here in a hurry, can I not sweat?"

Li Caiwei was dubious, seeing him enter the house uninvited, she immediately stretched out her hand to block the door, and looked at him suspiciously, "Dongfang Xuanye, what are you doing here? I can tell you, if you are uneasy, you can leave now." !"

"I'm here to give you a surprise, do you want to hear it?"

Li Caiwei stared at his half-smile face, "What good surprise can you give me?"

"If you want to know, let me go in first."

Li Caiwei let go of her hands helplessly, fearing that Jiacheng might misunderstand, she immediately explained, "Jiacheng, I really don't know him well."

Dongfang Xuanye stepped into the house and smiled secretly when he heard her explanation.Seeing a guest coming, Mrs. Yu looked at the clothes like a child from an ordinary farmer's family, but from a rich family. She glanced at Li Caiwei and Liu Jiacheng who were following behind, "Caiwei, how do you entertain the guests? Hurry up and get the bowls and chopsticks for the guests." Come."

I thought this bastard would be like the last time I saw it, but I didn't expect him to be familiar with him.

"Auntie, don't be so polite."

Mrs. Zhou got up and took a pair of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to Dongfang Xuanye, "Are you Caiwei's friend?"

Dongfang Xuanye took the bowls and chopsticks. He usually ate delicacies from mountains and seas. He had never seen such fresh, elegant and unique food. "Auntie, what kind of food is this?"

Zhou said with a smile, "You don't look like a child from an ordinary family. This is a staple food in the countryside, dumplings. Today is the winter solstice, and everyone will make dumplings to celebrate."

Dongfang Xuanye took a sip. The skin was thinner and the meat was more delicious than abalone and lobster. "Auntie, this is delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food since I was a child."
