Chapter 140 Spanish Mackerel Dumplings
Carrying the sewing machine home, Lin Xia didn't care about other people's opinions. She didn't want to damage her eyes from sewing.
After arriving home, Lu Yuxiu went to return the car, and Lin Xia gave him a bunch of lychees, "Take them with you."
Lu Yuxiu took the lychees and left. Lin Xia waited for him to come back and unpack the boxes, then went to pack up the vegetables.
The chicken soup is stewing now and it will be too late for lunch, so we will eat dumplings first.
When marine fish are caught, they usually die due to changes in pressure. The pressure in sea water is high, and there is also a corresponding pressure in the body of the marine fish. After being caught, the pressure in the air becomes lower, which is not equal to the pressure in the fish's body, and finally the blood vessels burst and the fish dies.
Lin Xia no longer had to kill the fish. She could just process it directly, removing the fish head and fish bones. Except for one main bone, there were no bones in the Spanish mackerel meat.
Before Lu Yuxiu even reached the door of his house, he heard a "do do do" sound coming from the house. Da Jun from next door boldly asked, "Uncle Lu, what are you doing at home?"
He and his brother were playing in the yard when they heard the trembling sound from next door. He was very curious.
I remembered that Lin Xia said she would send something to Yang Hongmei's house at noon to thank them for their care during the typhoon.
Lu Yuxiu raised the corner of his lips and said, "Guess."
Da Jun was very curious and asked, "Uncle Lu, can I go to your house and play on the slide?"
"Sure." Lu Yuxiu said generously, thinking of a toy.
The big and small armies were about to go over happily.
Yang Hongmei seemed to hear her son talking to someone in the kitchen, so she came out to see curiously, and saw her two naughty monkeys happily about to go out.
Afraid that he would not be able to find anyone to eat with, he immediately shouted, "Big Army and small army, get ready to eat!"
The two people who were about to step out of the house had bitter faces and could only retract their feet and raise their hands to say goodbye to Lu Yuxiu.
Lu Yuxiu went home with amusement, and when he saw Lin Xia chopping stuffing, he reached out to take the knife.
"Go wash your hands."
Lu Yuxiu immediately went to wash his hands, and then came to take over Lin Xia's place.
Lin Xia used her free hands to knead the dough and prepare it for the wrapper. She asked curiously, "Who did you meet at the door just now?"
Lu Yuxiu thought of the bitter faces of Dajun and Xiaojun and told them what had just happened. When Lin Xia heard it, she looked at An An who was having fun beside them.
Seeing that she didn't hear what I said, I thought for a moment and said, "That slide is a gift I made for An An. It's her toy. Before, a bunch of kids came to play, and I let An An decide for herself."
What this means is that she will not easily agree to let others play with the little one's things. If the little one is willing to share generously, then he or she can share. The child must be given the opportunity to make the decision.
After hearing this, Lu Yuxiu thought for a moment and realized that he seemed to have agreed to something he shouldn't have agreed to without permission, so he nodded and agreed.
He couldn't help but reflect in his heart. He thought it was just for fun, but when he saw Lin Xia was so serious, he decided to follow her example.
"Dajun and Xiaojun will definitely come to play this afternoon. You can tell the little one yourself later." Lin Xia knew that people at this age did not have a strong sense of education, but she attached great importance to this matter.
All the things she missed out on and neglected as a child, she wanted to give to her children, whether it was the little one or the unborn one in her belly.
"Okay." Lu Yuxiu didn't know what the concept of education was, but he took note of his wife's words.
He was also used to the fact that his family was different from others. Take the food as an example. He had never seen any family like theirs. Lin Xia didn't spend much money, but his life seemed to be much better than others.
The reason why he didn't spend much money was because he had accidentally seen Lin Xia's account book, which was placed on the dressing table in the room.
That was a habit Lin Xia brought from her previous life. In her later life, she didn't spend money easily and often lost her money without knowing what she bought, so she developed the habit of keeping accounts.
Keeping accounts is not a secret, and there is no hidden money, and there is no need to hide it from others, so Lin Xia doesn't know whether Lu Yuxiu has looked at it or not, and she doesn't care even if she knows.
Although she got married impulsively because of his appearance and personality, married life has taught her that she did not choose the wrong person and the trust between them is mutual.
Anyway, in Lu Yuxiu's mind, their family is very different from other families, but he is used to it.
After the Spanish mackerel was chopped, Lin Xia added pepper powder, ginger water and eggs, and instructed the man to stir and beat it until it became firm. After it was strengthened, the dumpling filling would be tightly packed after cooking, and would not be loose.
Finally, add the leeks, oil and salt and mix well. Lu Yuxiu rolls the dough, Lin Xia wraps it, and the little guy comes to join in the fun.
The plump white dumplings looked very pleasing after they were wrapped. When the water boiled, add a spoonful of salt and then put the dumplings in. While the dumplings were cooking, Lin Xia made a sauce with mashed garlic and vinegar, and also prepared a bowl of chili oil sauce.
After the dumplings were ready, she scooped out a plate and asked Lu Yuxiu to send it to the next door. She remembered that during the typhoon, Yang Hongmei and her husband had taken care of her.
When Lu Yuxiu arrived, people next door were having dinner. This time the fragrance was wrapped in the dumpling skin, so they couldn't smell it at all. However, Dajun was still thinking about the trembling sound.
After hearing this, Yang Hongmei thought that it should be making dumplings, but she didn't want to tell the children, otherwise they would definitely ask for making dumplings.
Just when I was telling the two kids to eat quickly and stop playing, I saw Lu Yuxiu coming in with a plate of something.
"Sister-in-law, try it. We are having dumplings today." After saying that, he went straight home without even waiting for the plate.
Yang Hongmei knew that he was afraid of hearing those polite words, just like Lin Xia. The two were very similar in some aspects.
Seeing the three children looking at her eagerly, Yang Hongmei asked them to eat quickly and just order something next time. This is how neighbors interact with each other.
When Da Jun saw the dumplings, he picked up one and put it in his mouth and sighed. He knew that the trembling sound must be related to food.
After eating the dumplings, the army sighed: "Mom, Aunt Lin's dumplings are better than yours."
Yang Hongmei glared at her eldest son while eating dumplings. Why was he talking so much even though he was eating? She had wanted to learn how to cook from Lin Xia before, but now she was pregnant and felt embarrassed to tire Lin Xia out.
Tasting the dumplings with thin skin and large fillings in her mouth, she couldn't tell what the filling was at first. It was tender and juicy, with a special flavor. It didn't taste like pork, but it was no worse than dumplings stuffed with pork. She was extremely curious.
Lin Xia took a bite of the original dumplings first. The fish meat was tender and fragrant. Because it was well cooked, the juice flowed out when she took a bite.
The Spanish mackerel tasted incredibly fresh, and the seasoning was well-added, without any fishy smell at all. The little guy ate without even raising his head, and the dumplings kept slipping away as he couldn't hold them with his chopsticks, so she was so anxious that she just pinched them with her hands.
"Mom, this is so delicious!" The little baby voice is filled with happiness!
Lu Yuxiu had no time to talk. He ate one dumpling at a time. Fortunately, he made a lot of them.
After finishing two plates of dumplings, Lu Yuxiu slowed down and said, "Will my wife eat this tonight?"
