Chapter 103 Dumplings Are Available
Zhao Liya almost laughed out loud. It turns out that being called "Brother Zhou" is really very challenging for an adult?
But since they were already friends, it was really awkward to be so polite. Zhao Liya smiled and nodded, then called out openly, "Brother Zhou!"
Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin were still persevering, "Sister, go ahead!"
Zhou Hansheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aya. With so many people, they can take care of the two children. It won't be a problem to take them into the mountains for a walk in a couple of days."
Zhao Liya thought it made sense, nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll find time to ask my parents."
"OK."
"Oh! That's great!", "Great! Brother Zhou is really awesome. As soon as he asked, I agreed!", "Yeah!"
The two children obviously understood the situation at home very well. Their elder sister's agreement was equivalent to their parents' agreement. They couldn't wait to cheer and praise their brother Zhou at the same time.
Zhao Liya, who had something to hide, said: "."
Is she such a superficial person? She agreed as soon as Brother Zhou asked her to?
"Ahem, well, I'm going to see my mom!" She seemed to have not washed up yet! Zhao Liya fled in panic.
Zhou Hansheng smiled and praised the two children, "You are so good. As long as your sister agrees to do something, Brother Zhou will help you do it, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" The two children smiled and clicked on the picture happily.
Zhou Hansheng warned again: "This sentence is a secret between the three of us. Don't tell your sister or anyone else, okay?"
"Um!"
Once they heard it was a secret, the two children became even happier. They kept the secret as if it were something very important, and their “hmm” sounds became much louder.
After washing up, Zhao Liya smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen and went in to see what was going on.
Who would have thought that around the simple eight-immortals table, Widow Qu, Aunt Li Shiyi, Mrs. Deng, Luo Shuyan, Qu Yutao and others were making dumplings while chatting and laughing!
There was a big fire burning in the stove, a pot of water was steaming, and many dumplings were neatly placed in the bamboo winnowing basket on the stove. They were white and plump. Although their shapes were not very good-looking, they were very tempting.
"Mom! There are dumplings! There are dumplings!"
Zhao Liya was surprised and happy.
"Where does our family get flour?"
Deng's eyes were all smiling, and she said with a smile, "It was brought by Master Zhou and his companions. It's really hard for Master Zhou to think of this, and he brought us two large bags of flour. So, let's make dumplings to satisfy our cravings today, and then make fried noodles with soybean paste for lunch, okay?"
Zhao Liya nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
She also likes to eat noodles. She knows that her parents and younger siblings like them even more! There is no flour to buy here. She was thinking that she would go to the provincial capital to buy some when she has time. Unexpectedly, Zhou Hansheng delivered it.
This gift really touched the hearts of the whole family.
Aunt Li Shiyi and Widow Qu were amazed and said with a smile, "What are these flour and dumplings? We have never heard of them or seen them before. This is really eye-opening!"
Mrs. Deng smiled and said, "Shuyan worked hard to prepare the filling early in the morning. I'll put it in the pot and cook it later. Everyone should try it. The dumplings are still delicious."
Aunt Li Shiyi laughed: "Oh, this stuffing has mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, and meat, how can it not be delicious!"
"Haha, that's right, it smells delicious!"
There was no pork at home, so the filling was made with deer meat. One was minced meat with mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and some green onions, and the other was leeks and eggs.
Zhao Liya also helped, smiling and saying, "My brother and I will go to the city later to buy some meat, side dishes, and other seasonings. We will make some noodles with soybean paste for lunch."
Mrs. Deng smiled and said yes, she really missed that taste.
Luo Shuyan humbly asked for advice, and began to carefully ask what Zhajiangmian was and how to make it.
So Deng and Zhao Liya told her one by one, and Luo Shuyan didn't know how to make noodles, so they explained it to her.
Luo Shuyan listened attentively with shining eyes. Qu Guadufu and the others enjoyed listening very much and expressed their amazement.
It turns out that people in the north love to eat this kind of food. But then again, with so many things combined together, it would be strange if it didn’t taste good.
There is strength in numbers. Soon all the dumplings were wrapped and put into the pot to cook.
After they were cooked, they were taken out and served in a bowl. There were not enough small plates to prepare vinegar, so whoever wanted vinegar could just pour it directly into the dumpling bowl.
The steaming hot dumplings fresh out of the pot were so delicious that everyone praised them highly.
Hu Ling specially invited Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang as well.
Zhao Xiang's family was particularly satisfied with the taste of their hometown. Even the two children cheered and each held a small bowl, eating with great joy.
Aunt Li Shiyi, Widow Qu, Qu Yutao and others ate it for the first time and were immediately conquered by the taste!
“This is so delicious!”
"This 'dumpling' is so delicious!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "This flour is good, and Sister Shuyan's stuffing is also good. Of course it's delicious!"
Deng also agreed with a smile: "That's right!"
Luo Shuyan said, "That's because my aunt's family prepared a lot of ingredients, otherwise the filling wouldn't be so good."
Everyone ate while praising the food, and finally all the dumplings were eaten up, not a single one left.
Zhaonan and the others were both satisfied and left with a lasting aftertaste. They weren't craving dumplings, after all, they could eat them. But they were craving such delicious dumplings!
Such delicious dumplings are not available everywhere.
Zhao Liya said proudly, "How about we go into town and buy some more meat and side dishes, and make dumplings tomorrow?"
"good!"
"well!"
Everyone agreed very much.
Zhao Liya counted on her fingers, "Prepare a few more fillings tomorrow: pork with vermicelli and cabbage, pork with winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms, pork with sauerkraut, and leeks and eggs. If you have mutton, buy some and make two or three more with mutton fillings."
Mrs. Deng hurriedly asked, "How about steaming some buns and steamed bread as well?"
Zhao Liya: "Okay, okay. Tofu sauce with diced pork, radish vermicelli with minced pork, and pure meat fillings are all delicious! Oh, right, brother, let's go put out the bamboo cages tonight and collect them tomorrow morning to make some fish dumplings and shrimp dumplings!"
Hu Ling nodded: "Okay!"
Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin nodded eagerly: "Okay, okay, we'll go help too!"
Luo Shuyan was very interested and asked what these steamed buns and steamed bread were and how they were made. Widow Qu and the others were all very interested and loved to listen even though they couldn't cook.
Zhao Xiang looked at the lively atmosphere in the room with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but glance at Zhou Hansheng and said politely, "Mr. Zhou, this is really thoughtful. Our family hasn't been this happy in a long time."
This kind of happiness is different from other happiness in daily life.
Zhou Hansheng smiled and said, "Uncle, you are too polite. This is not worth much. I will bring you some more later."
Authentic northern flour, chewy and fragrant.
