Chapter 228 228. Lard and cabbage dumplings
When Qiao Qiao and Song Tan came back carrying two large baskets of cabbage, the seventh cousin was holding a huge stainless steel basin and slowly adding warm water and noodles into it.
There's so much noodles there, I'm afraid it won't be half a bowl.
The warm water in the gourd was still slowly steaming under the night light. The seventh cousin's skinny palms were slowly stirring the flour into dough in it, not to mention how skilled he was in his movements.
Song Tan couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw it: "Seventh Cousin, if you want to make dumplings next time, please tell me in advance and I will buy those ready-made dumpling wrappers."
“What do you know!” The seventh cousin didn’t appreciate it at all:
“Can the dumpling wrappers wholesaled by machines be worthy of a little cabbage like us? You have to roll them out to eat dumplings.”
.
Song Tan shook his head: "As long as you don't feel tired."
Unexpectedly, the seventh cousin rubbed the dough on his hands at this moment, and then ordered: "Qiaoqiao, wash your hands and come over to knead the dough."
He washed his hands and now sat in front of the stove and smiled at Song Tan: "Don't worry, my old man knows how to take care of himself. He won't be tired."
Song Tan: ...I can see it.
I really have a lot to worry about.
This seventh cousin is still smug: "Our Qiaoqiao is born to be a chef! Look at how energetic he is at kneading dough! He is stronger than your father."
He turned around and raised his voice again: "Qiaoqiao, when you come back from the amusement park, let's make some steamed buns!"
As long as you add an amusement park, anything goes. Qiao Qiao agreed loudly.
This silly boy.
Aunt Lianhua laughed: Her son can no longer be counted on. Working here every day and looking at Qiao Qiao made Aunt Lianhua feel soft.
At this moment, take out the cabbage from the basket, neatly cut off the roots, and then throw them into the basin one by one and rinse them gently.
I have to say that with her help during this period, the work of cooking and washing dishes at home has become much easier.
Although when we first met, the job content was to wash pots, wash dishes and clean up, but Aunt Lianhua always came early and left late every time. If her cooking skills were not as good as those of her seventh cousin, she would have even taken over the cooking work. In fact, Too diligent.
Actually, they only negotiated a salary of 1,000.
Song Tan felt she had some tricks up her sleeve when dealing with people who took advantage of her, but as she rushed to work hard, she became softer and softer.
He thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Lianhua, why don't you, old lady at home, come back to the yard? You can see something happening here, so don't worry."
Aunt Lianhua was quite at a loss: "Then... what should we do? You are all doing the work."
“Why not?”
Song Tan pointed at the work at hand: "If that's true, Aunt Lianhua, you are still working overtime, and I have not mentioned overtime pay."
"In a few days, we will move to my grandpa's yard. Her yard is quite spacious. If you push the old lady into a corner, she will not be lonely alone."
When a person gets old, his vitality is also important. It is not a good thing for a paralyzed patient to huddle at home and wait quietly every day.
Coming here to watch everyone working makes Aunt Lianhua feel more at ease and work harder. Secondly, it is also good for the old lady herself.
Since there were so many people there every day, the old lady had to keep a separate portion of her meal, so sitting in the yard wouldn't matter at all.
Aunt Lianhua no longer knows what to say.
At this moment, he lowered his head and carefully cleaned the jade-white vegetable stem. It took a long time before he made a buzzing sound:
What is there to dislike about this? Song Tan sighed: "No, Aunt Lianhua, you also know that my house will be demolished soon - otherwise, it's better to wait for the new house to be built, and then we can discuss the salary again. Now I'll offend you and take this Is the money okay?”
“No grievance, no grievance!”
Aunt Lianhua screamed louder than anyone else.
Song Tan's family provides plenty of food to support people. Just because she doesn't speak doesn't mean she can't feel it. Now he quickly pretended to be busy and refused to speak.
She picked up all the washed cabbage and put it into the hot water pot nearby to blanch it. She was busy and determined not to give Song Tan a chance.
Cousin Seventh picked up a knife of pork belly that he had prepared previously from the large plastic red basin in the room, and reminded Song Tan:
“Tantan, hurry up and buy another big freezer, these two freezers can’t even fit in them.”
Well, all of them are big eaters, and they can eat half a cupboard of dumplings in one meal. Let alone two more, five more may not be enough!
But as the weather is getting hot, it’s really hard to live without it.
Song Tan still sighed: "Okay, okay, buy it first, then put it in my grandpa's yard later."
When the time comes, don’t forget to re-route the wires in the old man’s yard. Otherwise, if you do this every day, you may not be able to carry it around.
Qiaoqiao was still humming and kneading the dough. The stainless steel basin was smooth and shiny, and the huge dough under his hands was equally delicate and soft.
Because the chopping board is not big enough, I can only reluctantly break it into several balls, knead them one by one, and roll out the dough in sections.
Not to mention, Song Tan went over to take a look and found that Qiao Qiao's talent was probably better than hers - for example, even though she was a fairy reserve now, the dumpling wrappers were not as smooth and smooth as those made by Qiao Qiao. .
At this end, Aunt Lianhua has taken out the blanched cabbage and let it cool down. The seventh cousin's knife was so smooth that it seemed to cut through the flesh without any effort.
The elastic long strip of fleshy skin flicked on his hand, and the seventh cousin felt a little regretful: "Oh, this fleshy skin is used to keep the pot, I don't know how good it will be!"
He turned his head and looked at Qiaoqiao: "Qiaoqiao, do you want to eat roasted pig skin?"
"eat!"
Qiaoqiao said loudly, and then added: "I also want to eat pickled pepper pork rinds again."
“You are really good at eating!” The seventh cousin looked at him with disgust, and suddenly said with a smile:
“But aren’t you going to the amusement park? This meat skin won’t taste good if you put it on. My cousin will eat it for you first.”
Qiaoqiao stopped kneading the dough and looked at him blankly.
Just when everyone thought he would be aggrieved, they saw him nodding excitedly: "Well, Qiaoqiao is going to the amusement park. It's okay not to eat the skin."
This is what I said!
The seventh cousin failed to tease the child, so he snorted and quickly cut the pork belly into thin slices, then added water to the pot and simmered it slowly over low heat.
Then I chopped all the prepared cabbage into fine pieces. Bang bang bang, the big pot was chopped into pieces!
Then squeeze out the water in one ball.
At this time, the pork belly in the pot has been stir-fried back and forth. Now it is browned on the surface and the water has dried up, leaving half the pot with bright orange oil.
Song Tan couldn’t help but take a deep breath:
“It smells so good!”
Coming, coming! ! Tonight is a long-awaited day! It's almost finished. I'll publish it once it's finished. I'll give you an update first to let everyone know.
But the latest one will be before half past twelve.
There’s more to come!
