After the food was heated up, Tian Zhuo sat at the dining table and concentrated on eating breakfast, while Tian Tian and Gu Zhao put things into the refrigerator.
Sometimes the things they buy at the market are not cleaned very carefully, and there is dirt on them. They don't want to put these muddy things into their refrigerator, so they just spread a plastic bag on the ground, fold all the vegetables clean and then put them in the refrigerator, so it takes a long time.
"Xiao Zhuo, please prepare lunch for our family today. We have some hot leeks, so we can make some leek dumplings for lunch. You can join us. You can also help me knead the dough and make the leek dumplings, so we can eat earlier." Gu Zhao said with a smile after folding all the leeks.
These leeks should be the last batch of leeks this year. If you don’t eat them now, you will have to wait until next year to eat them.
When Tian Zhuo heard about helping Gu Zhao make chive dumplings, he nodded.
It was already late when they came back, and by the time they finished cleaning up, it was almost noon. Gu Zhao washed the chives and asked Tian Tian to chop them up. Tian Zhuo was not used to using the gas tank, so Gu Zhao was responsible for frying the eggs. Tian Zhuo was kneading the dough on the side.
After frying the eggs and chopping the leeks, Gu Zhao took them all to season them. First, mix the leeks with the eggs, mix the leeks evenly, then coat each leek with oil, and then add salt. This way, the salt will not kill the water in the leeks, and the leeks will be more flavorful after wrapping.
After they finished preparing the stuffing, they took the leeks and eggs out and saw that Tian Zhuo had already kneaded the dough.
"The dough you kneaded is really good. It's especially soft!" Gu Zhao kneaded the dough with his hand and said with some surprise.
People in their family like to use soft bread when making leek dumplings. This way, after the leek dumplings are fried, the outside is crispy, but the dough inside is very soft. Tian Zhuo's dough is just right.
"Xiao Zhuo is very good at kneading dough. Ever since he grew up, he is the one who kneads the dough whenever the family wants to make dumplings!" Tian Tian said with some boasting.
Tian Zhuo was also a little embarrassed. He felt that he was just good at making noodles, so how could he be praised so much by Gu Zhao and Tian Tian.
"Okay, let's start making chive dumplings!"
Tian Zhuo is good at kneading dough, so he kneads the dough into a long ball and then pinches off the dough pieces. Gu Zhao is responsible for rolling the dough pieces into pancakes, and Tian Tian is responsible for wrapping the leeks inside to make leek boxes.
With all this assembly line work, the three of them were very fast, especially the leek dumplings. Each one was as big as a palm. Gu Zhao didn't buy many leeks, so he quickly made more than twenty leek dumplings.
Seeing that the leek dumplings were almost covering their chopping board, Gu Zhao stopped rolling the dough and went to the kitchen to heat the oil. When the oil started to smoke slightly, he put the leek dumplings in and fry them.
"It smells so good!" Tian Tian sniffed, smelling the fragrance coming from the kitchen, and couldn't help swallowing and said.
She didn't know why, but she felt like she had become a little greedy since she knew she was pregnant.
Sometimes, even though I have already eaten, I still want to eat something else, otherwise my mouth will feel uncomfortable if it is empty.
Especially now that it was leek dumplings, something she had always liked to eat, she couldn't control herself even more.
"You two try it first!" Gu Zhao first made a pot of fried leek dumplings, put two in a bowl and gave them to Tian Zhuo and Tian Tian.
"Let's both try it and see how it tastes. Is it delicious? How salty is it?" Gu Zhao brought the leek box over and ran to the kitchen to check the fire. He had another one in the pot.
He just tried a leek dumpling himself and felt that it was quite to his taste, but he didn't know whether it would suit Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo's taste.
Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo both put down their hands, picked up the leek box and took a bite. The pinched edge had been soaked in the pot and became dry and crispy, with a slightly burnt taste.
Tian Tian likes it very much. Every time she bites off the edge first, and then eats the chive pie when she has bitten half of it.
This was Tian Tian’s first time eating the chive dumplings that Gu Zhao made himself. They were very fresh and had just the right amount of saltiness.
Gu Zhao was afraid that the leeks would be too spicy if they were not cooked, so he fried them in the pan for a while longer to bring out the fragrance of the leeks.
Because Tian Tian really likes to eat the eggs in the leek eggs, and the leeks bought today are a little scarce, so Gu Zhao beat some more eggs into it.
After taking a bite, your mouth is filled with egg particles mixed with the taste of leeks. For someone like Tian Tian who loves eating eggs, it is very satisfying.
Tian Zhuohe’s noodles are just right. If they were too hard, it would be a bit difficult to bite the leek dumplings, but this is not the case with these noodles.
The outer dough is soft and fluffy, and even the inner layer that comes into contact with the leeks and eggs is full of soup, making it even more fragrant.
"It's so delicious!" Tian Tian ate one and was still not satisfied. She wanted to take another one, but the most important thing was to wrap up the filling in front of her, and there was not much left.
Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo worked together, each wrapping five or six dumplings, and they finished wrapping them all. After wrapping, Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo cleaned up the chopping board. There was still some dough left in the basin, which they could keep and steam into buns after it had risen.
After cleaning up, the two of them ran to the kitchen together. Gu Zhao had already fried two plates of leek dumplings. He smiled when he saw them and asked them to take the two plates to the dining table to eat.
Tian Tian looked over and saw that the leek dumplings that had not been wrapped yet, plus the ones in Gu Zhao's pot, should be able to make a plate.
It was enough for Gu Zhao to eat, so he didn't bother to be polite with Gu Zhao. He pulled Tian Zhuo to bring the two plates of leek dumplings to the table, and the two of them sat at the table and ate happily.
The chive dumplings they made were big and sweet. Even if I tried hard to eat them, I was still full after only three.
Tian Zhuo had just finished a meal. Although he was a big guy and could eat a lot, he could only finish three dishes and then he couldn't finish any more. In the end, the two of them only ate one of the two plates.
At this time, Gu Zhao had also fried all the leek dumplings. He held the freshly-fried plate and sat next to the two of them. The leek dumplings fresh out of the pan were the most fragrant.
Gu Zhao had a big appetite and he hadn't eaten just now, so he finished the whole plate by himself.
