Take out the cutting board and knife, wash them with the last rinse water, and place them on the stove to cut.
"Shishi, look at your aunt. When making dumplings with chives, you need to cut them into small cubes, just this short."
"This is scallion. You should also chop the scallion into scallion flowers to enhance the flavor."
She held up her finger and gestured the length of her little fingernail.
I chopped up the chives and scallions, and minced some ginger, explaining to her the benefits of ginger: it removes coldness, eliminates fishy smells, and enhances flavor.
The corpse listened with great interest, its expression as serious as a primary school student listening to a lesson; it was unclear whether it understood anything.
Add chopped green onions and minced ginger to the bowl containing the shrimp, then add salt, soy sauce, peanut oil, and a little chili sauce and mix well.
Soon, a spicy aroma wafted out, and the foodie couldn't help but swallow.
She stared intently for a while, and when she saw Zhang Tong stop stirring, she casually took out a bowl and spoon from the cabinet where Zhang Tong had just taken the bowl, and held them up in front of Zhang Tong.
Although she didn't smile, you could still sense that she was happy and excited.
It's that feeling of joy and excitement that comes from finally getting your beloved thing after a long wait.
"Egg, is it ready to eat? Corpse wants some."
Glug~
The sound of swallowing was clear and pleasant to the ear.
Zhang Tong paused, holding the bowl of chives, and it took him a while to react.
Is this little furry kid thinking it can eat now, holding its own bowl and waiting to be fed?
Haha, this brat is so funny!
First, put down the chives, then, with a slight smile, imitated Xie Lin's earnest and earnest teaching.
"Shishi, this is raw, you can't eat it. It will give you a stomachache, and if you have a stomachache, you can't eat anything else. Shishi, don't you want to eat dumplings tonight?"
"Let me tell you, meat and vegetables must be cooked thoroughly before you eat them. If you eat them undercooked, you'll get worms in your stomach, and worms are what cause stomach aches."
"It won't grow bugs if it's cooked thoroughly, Shishi, do you understand?"
There are things that can be eaten raw, such as melons, fruits, and sweet potatoes.
But this girl doesn't know how to distinguish them. If we don't teach her, she'll probably start putting everything that smells good into her mouth in the future.
Upon hearing that his stomach would hurt and he couldn't eat anymore, since it concerned his food welfare, the corpse naturally understood.
She nodded solemnly, a frightened expression on her face. "Yes, you can't eat raw food, or you'll get worms."
Zhang Tong was very pleased and wanted to continue teaching, but then he heard: "Eggs are almost cooked, Shi Shi wants to eat this."
Zhang Tong: .........
She reached for the chives and poured them in, stirring as she did so, asking, "Doesn't Shishi want to eat dumplings with the corner filling anymore?"
The answer I received, without even thinking, was a definite yes.
"The corpse is grabbing at the corners, wanting to eat dumplings with corner filling."
She meant that she went to catch shrimp so that she could make shrimp dumplings.
Zhang Tong nodded to indicate that he understood, pointing to the filling that had just been mixed.
"This is the corner filling. It will be wrapped inside the dumpling wrapper to make dumplings."
"If Shishi eats now, there won't be any dumplings for dinner. Which one should Shishi choose?"
"Would you like to eat this filling now, or have dumplings with this filling for dinner tonight?"
Zhang Tong's voice was very gentle and patient.
She genuinely liked Zhou Shi and wanted to teach her more common sense.
Shishi's little brain is a bit slow to grasp things.
She asked very honestly, "Why can't we eat the filling first and then have dumplings for dinner? I want to eat both."
It smells so good, she couldn't help but swallow again.
When Zhang Tong saw that Zhang Tong was almost awake, he pinched out two small balls, rolled them into rounds, flattened them, and rolled them into thin sheets.
Take a spoon, scoop a spoonful of filling onto it, and quickly pinch it into a plump dumpling.
With the last dumpling wrapper, she didn't put any filling in it, but simply pinched it into a dumpling shape and then asked Zhou Shi to press it down.
"Look, Shishi, there are two dumplings, one with filling and one without."
"This one with filling looks delicious, while this one without filling just flattens out when you press it; it's just a lump of dough. Which one do you want?"
Learning through hands-on activities yields more tangible results than simply talking.
Shishi immediately pointed to the dumplings filled with stuffing, "Shishi wants to eat it."
They're white and plump, and look very appetizing.
Just now, when Zhang Tong was kneading small dough balls, she pinched a little dough and put it in her mouth. It tasted bland and she didn't want to eat any more.
Zhang Tong nodded again.
"So, if Shishi eats all the dumpling filling, there won't be any filling left to make dumplings, and Shishi will only be able to eat the dumplings that don't taste good."
Now the corpse understood.
In short, she can't eat the filling right now, but she'll be able to eat delicious dumplings with filling in a little while.
"Okay, Shishi won't eat anymore."
Somewhat disappointed, but still obediently put the bowl and spoon back in their place. Seeing this, Zhang Tong smiled again.
The little girl is truly mischievous when she's naughty, and truly obedient when she's obedient.
I wonder what kind of girl she was before her brain was damaged by the fever?
She thought she must be an obedient and diligent little girl.
At this moment, Zhang Tong felt both curious and heartbroken.
Such a good girl, why didn't her family take good care of her and let her suffer a brain injury?
Shaking off the sadness in my heart, I brought the rested dough and filling to the dining table in the main room and began the dumpling-making tutorial.
"Shishi, first grab a handful of raw dough and rub it in your hands, then grab a small ball of dough and knead it in your palm like your aunt does."
"Yes, that's how you prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Make sure the dough pieces are small."
"That's right, knead it like this, in one direction..."
"Shishi, press it like this, roll the dough out thinly..."
"Shishi, pinch this corner, yes, just like that..."
A moment later, a plump, round dumpling appeared in Zhou Shi's palm, white and chubby, clearly filled with plenty of filling.
