Chapter 377 Resource Exchange

After Ning Xiyue finished preparing the filling, she glanced at her second brother who was sitting at the table rolling out dough. There were not many sheets of dough rolled out in front of her, which was not enough for her to finish quickly, so she washed her hands and walked out.

"Brother, the filling is ready. I'll wait for you to roll out more dough and start wrapping. I'll go take a walk over to Ye Chu first."

Ning Qingyuan raised his head, glanced at the pots of stuffing on the stove, and nodded, "Okay, go ahead. I'll call you after I've rolled some more."

With so much stuffing he needs to roll it out more and add more flour and dough.

Ning Xiyue walked to the kitchen next door with her hands behind her back to visit her neighbors.

Next door, Chen Yechu, Yu Zhiyu and Liu Yao were sitting at the kitchen door working.

Similarly, Yu Zhiyu was rolling out the dough, while Chen Yechu and Liu Yao were wrapping them. They were faster than Ning Xiyue and had already wrapped more than a dozen dumplings.

"Ye Chu, what kind of filling do you use in the dumplings?" Ning Xiyue walked in from outside with a smile.

Chen Yechu looked up and saw Ning Xiyue coming over. He stood up and waved at her with a smile: "Xiyue, come here quickly. I made some carrot and pork stuffing, leek and pork stuffing, and leek and egg stuffing. How are yours? What stuffing did you make?"

Hearing about these three fillings that were completely different from hers, Ning Xiyue's eyes rolled around and she had an idea. She trotted over and saw three large pots of fillings on the table. Her eyes lit up and she pulled Chen Yechu to discuss.

"Ye Chu, the stuffing I make is different from yours. Why don't we swap some of the stuffing so that we can have a variety of flavors. I made beef stuffing, shrimp stuffing, pork and cabbage stuffing, and dried mushroom and pork stuffing. Do you think there's anything you like? Let's swap the stuffings? So we can have seven flavors?"

As soon as Chen Yechu heard about the filling, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he agreed without waiting a moment when Ning Xiyue finished speaking.

"Sure, I like all four kinds of fillings you prepared. Switch. Wait, I'll go get the fillings."

Chen Yechu made the most carrots and pork stuffing with leeks, which had two large bowls, while the carrots and pork stuffing with leeks and eggs had only one plate of food.

She took out two large soup bowls and filled them with leek and pork filling and carrot and pork filling. She then took out a small bowl and scooped half of the leek and egg filling she had made.

"Yaoyao, you wrap it first. I'll go get some new stuffing."

After Chen Yechu finished filling the bowls, he picked up two bowls himself, Ning Xiyue picked up the remaining bowl, and the two of them walked happily to the next room.

When she reached the door, Ning Xiyue called out, "Brother, I'm back."

"So fast, I haven't rolled much yet."

Ning Qingyuan poked his head out and looked at the things they were holding with a puzzled frown.

"You roll yours, and we'll trade."

Chen Yechu greeted him and walked to the stove following Ning Xiyue's hand.

"Look, it's freshly chopped. I bought it in the city yesterday. The only pity is that the shrimp meat is dried. I guess it's not as tender as live shrimp meat. But it doesn't matter. I chopped the meat into foam and added a few eggs in it. The taste should be similar."

Chen Yechu shook his head indifferently, and looked at the four pots of stuffing in front of him with great joy: "The stuffing you made smells so good, it should be delicious."

Ning Xiyue cleared out the three bowls that Chen Yechu brought and washed them clean. She used this bowl to fill the two large bowls with the pork and cabbage filling and the dried mushroom and pork filling that she made more of. The other small bowl was filled with the less-cooked filling, half shrimp and half beef, filling the entire bowl.

Chen Yechu didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he pulled Ning Xiyue to the side and asked quietly: "Xiyue, how much beef and dried shrimp did you buy in the city yesterday? Can you give me some in exchange?"

Ning Xiyue thought for a moment and replied, "There is quite a bit of beef, but not many shrimps. But I can give you some. I also have some dried fish and other seafood here. Do you want any?"

"Yes." Chen Yechu's eyes lit up and he nodded firmly.

"I want to exchange for one portion of your Sichuan spicy hot pot ingredients, and if you have any extra fermented bean curd your grandma sent you, I want to exchange for two bottles of your grandma's noodles, bean curd skin, etc."

"have."

"And the roasted pork, do you have any more?"

“Both.”

"Okay, that's all." Ning Xiyue smiled with satisfaction.

Chen Yechu stretched out his fist and said to Ning Xiyue: "Deal."

Ning Xiyue bumped fists with Chen Yechu, who had a bright smile on his face, and pulled her to a small basket next to the cupboard. She lifted the black cloth covering the outside, revealing a small piece of meat inside.

"It's all beef. You can choose which piece you want."

After Ning Xiyue finished speaking, she saw Chen Yechu staring at the meat in the basket without blinking, and reached in to pick the meat with a look of joy on his face.

She opened the cupboard, took out the sack of seafood she brought back yesterday, opened it and waited for Chen Ye to take a look.

The things inside were what was left after she sorted it out. It only contained various dried fish and a small bag of large shrimps.

"Xiyue, I'll choose this piece of meat." Chen Yetu said, holding up the top piece of hind leg meat weighing about one pound.

She didn't choose much, every piece of meat was good, so in order to avoid being confused, she simply chose a piece of meat on the surface.

"Okay, there's seafood in there, you can see for yourself."

Ning Xiyue pointed at the sack with one hand and handed a vegetable bowl to Chen Yechu to put the meat in with the other hand.

After Chen Yechu shifted her gaze over, she excitedly selected various sea fishes. For the species that were abundant in number, she picked one of each.

I selected five dried sea fish and finally grabbed a small handful of prawns.

"Xiyue, I've made my choice. I'll go back and bring it to you later."

"Okay, no rush, take your time."

Chen Yetu put three bowls of stuffing into a bowl, then walked out happily holding the bowl.

That’s great. Ning Xiyue looked at Chen Yechu’s departing back and happily clenched one hand into a fist and clapped it on the palm of the other hand. This year became more fulfilling.

On New Year's Eve, we eat Zhou Cheng's cooking, on New Year's Day, we eat hot pot at noon, on New Year's Day, we eat mutton soup, on New Year's Day, we eat beef bone soup, on New Year's Day, we fry steaks, on New Year's Day, we fry pork chops, and make braised lion's head...

Ning Xiyue became happier the more she thought about it. She pointed at the fillings on the table and showed off to Ning Qingyuan:

"Brother, see there are seven kinds of fillings. I exchanged New Year's goods with Ye Chu again. We still have two kilograms of mutton. I exchanged some fermented bean curd for it. I have thought about how to eat in the next few days. Let's make different delicious food every day."

Ning Qingyuan continued rolling the dough, saying, "I'll do as you say. I'm best at helping out, and I'll fully cooperate with you."

Ning Xiyue washed her hands, sat down and started making dumplings.

After a while, Chen Yechu came back with Ning Xiyue's dish bowl and walked over with a smile in his eyes. He patted the bowl and said, "Xiyue, come and take a look."

Ning Xiyue took the basin in her hand and looked at what was inside.

Two large bottles of fermented bean curd, ten instant noodles, a large bowl of hot pot base, five sheets of dried bean curd skin, a large bowl of pork jerky, six long pieces of dried bean curd sticks, a bowl of sliced ​​ham slices, two large potatoes, and three sausages that Chen Yechu had made himself.

Chen Yechu pointed at the sausages and introduced them, "These three sausages have different flavors. This one is spicy, this one is sweet, and this one is carrot and vegetable sausage. I made it myself and I'll give it to you to taste."

"Thank you. I'll cook it for lunch tomorrow." Ning Xiyue received it happily.

She likes dealing with friends like Chen Yetu, who will never let you suffer any loss. She packed a lot of things for her that she didn't mention, and they were ingredients that could be used for hot pot. She was really thoughtful.

"Okay, I'll go over and make dumplings first, you guys go ahead and get busy." Seeing Ning Xiyue was very happy, Chen Yechu was happy too. She waved her hand and walked out, running to the next door with light steps.

"Let me see what you brought back."

Ning Qingyuan saw Chen Yetu leave, put down the rolling pin in his hand, and walked to Ning Xiyue with interest to see what was in the basin.

"Oh, so many good things, I'm in for a treat. It seems like you want to make hot pot, sister." Ning Qingyuan picked up a piece of ham and ate it: "I couldn't forget it after I ate it last time. It's still better when cooked."

"We'll have hot pot for lunch tomorrow."

Ning Xiyue smiled and shook her head, picked up the basin and put the things inside into order.

Things that should be put in the cupboard were put in the cupboard. For example, she put the ham slices and hot pot base in a water tank stored with ice to keep them fresh. It would be completely fine to eat them tomorrow in this cold weather.

Ning Qingyuan continued to sit back and roll out the dough. After Ning Xiyue put the things away, she sat beside the winnowing basket and made dumplings, wontons, wontons, and some buns.

The winnowing basket was indeed too big, and it was only half full at eleven o'clock.
