There weren't many people in their family, so they didn't need too much. They only used half a cabbage and added all the meat.
After Fang Zhiyi kneaded the dough, she started to chop the stuffing. Fortunately, this was a private house with its own yard, otherwise the bang bang bang sound of her chopping the stuffing would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Nowadays, few families eat dumplings during the New Year or other festivals. If you really want to eat meat, just buy some meat and make it. Making dumplings requires not only meat but also flour, which costs money.
If they want to eat, they can afford it, but people are reluctant to do so. They think that the money saved can be used to do many things. When children grow up, they need to start families and find jobs, which all cost money, so people will be frugal.
The most common dish made in Fang Zhiyi's family in winter is cabbage dumplings, so he is quite familiar with the method of making these dumplings.
After chopping the stuffing, add salt and then leave it there until the water in the cabbage comes out. If there is too much water in the cabbage, the dumplings will break when you wrap them and put them into the pot.
Then she squeezes out the water with her hands. After everything is done, she can prepare the filling. She does it completely according to her own taste and there is really no standard.
Anyway, I think it’s just about right. Based on my previous experience, the filling will not be too salty or too bland.
The tools at home were all available, so she started working after finding them. Before her parents passed away, she only knew how to roll out the dumpling wrappers, but she didn't know how to make dumplings.
But after his mother passed away, she gradually learned how to do it, but it was a little slow, and her hands always disobeyed her commands. Unexpectedly, she found the same thing when she came here, with the same clumsy hands.
But fortunately, there is no need to rush. Looking at the big sun outside, I know that it is not time for lunch yet. It will take a while, so I can take my time.
After Fang Zhiyi finished wrapping the dumplings, he started to clean the pot and boil water. When the water boiled, he found two heads of garlic from his space and prepared to make a dipping sauce.
The dumplings are put in when the water boils. By the time the dumplings are out of the pot, it is time for the workers to get off work. Fang Zhiyi estimates the time by listening to the workers' off-work bell every day.
At noon, some workers who live far away will choose to eat in the factory, and some who have someone to cook at home will choose to go home. However, sometimes if the food in the cafeteria is good, they will choose to buy a portion to eat at home, after all, no tickets are required.
When Fang Zhiyi heard the bell for the end of get off work, she knew it was eleven o'clock. Her dumplings were just out of the pot, so it was time to call people back for dinner.
Fang Zhiyi hung the dumplings somewhere. She had almost killed all the flies in the house these days, and she always closed the door when she went out, so they wouldn't get dirty if she left them in the house.
Fang Zhiyi stood in the yard and shouted a few times but no one responded, so he had to close the door and go to the front to see what the child was doing.
Then Fang Zhiyi saw a scene that made her explode, but looking at the children playing so happily, she kept trying to calm herself down.
She silently comforted herself in her heart that it was normal for young children to like playing like this. By the time she walked over to the two people, her expression had returned to normal.
She called her brother's name with a normal expression. Fang Zhilin was startled when he saw his sister coming towards him, then he looked up at her face cautiously.
After seeing that his sister was no different from usual, he called her in a low voice, dropped what he was holding and tried to pull her.
Fang Zhiyi looked at the dirty little hand reaching out, carefully dodged it, then looked at the little mud monkey in front of him and said:
"Did you two have fun? You've gotten so dirty. Let's go home. Go home and have dinner. After dinner, tell your sister who came up with this idea."
Although Fang Zhiyi knows that children like to play around, they still need to be educated. If they like to play, they should accept the consequences of their own actions.
Since she got the clothes dirty herself, she should wash them herself. This will also let her know that washing clothes is very tiring, so she won't get them dirty so carelessly.
Even when playing in the mud, you have to be careful not to get it everywhere. The way they look now, it looks like they are rolling in the mud.
When Fang Zhilin heard his sister say this, he hurried over to them and picked up what they had made to show Fang Zhiyi.
Looking at the mud house in his hand, Fang Zhiyi said with a smile on his face: "Who made this? It's really beautiful."
Fang Zhilin looked at his sister and smiled, then smiled back and said, "I made this, and I'm giving it to you."
Looking at the child with mud on his face, Fang Zhiyi smiled and said, "Then wait until he's done, put it on our cabinet and let everyone see how well our Linlin has done it."
"Okay, now you all come home with me, wash your hands and face, and have dinner. And Xiaoshan, come home with me. I'm making dumplings today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zhiyi saw Uncle Niu returning from the factory, and the two of them looked at each other.
As soon as Uncle Niu greeted him, he saw two little clay monkeys behind her. After looking again and again, he realized that one of the two people was his son.
So he strode over, holding his son's clothes, looked left and right, then sighed and said:
"Just wait, you've only worn this dress for the first day and it's already gotten so dirty. Wait until you get home and see how your mother will teach you a lesson."
Niu Xiaoshan was afraid when he heard his father's words, but in order not to lose face in front of his good friend, he said stubbornly:
"I'm not afraid, huh."
"Okay, okay, if you're not afraid, then come back with me now."
Fang Xiaoshan didn't move at all when he heard this. Fang Zhiyi found the scene a little funny.
"Uncle, we're making dumplings today, and we're just about to invite Xiaoshan over to eat. And since they got their clothes dirty, let's have them wash them themselves and see if they get them dirty again."
"No, no. You two can just eat. I'll take him home." When Uncle Niu heard this, he grabbed his son's collar and was about to take him away. Looking at the child who was looking at him eagerly, Fang Zhiyi said again:
"Let's just come to my house. Linlin wants to eat with her too. Children can't eat much. Let's go."
Fang Zhilin nodded aside. Seeing that his son really wanted to go, Uncle Niu said a little embarrassedly:
"Sorry to bother you. Please wait at our door. I'll take him home to change clothes."
