Family hotel.
Jiang Feng pointed at the rice noodle and rice dumpling on the table and introduced with a smile: "Weiwei, I am going to make you a delicacy from my hometown, called Luoshuibao, also known as Poshuiguai. It is the most unique delicacy in our county. When I was a child, I could only eat it during the annual Guanyin Festival."
Huang Lingwei looked at the 續粉 and 續心 and asked in confusion, "Isn't this making dumplings?"
Jiang Feng said as he lit the fire and boiled water: "This is not dumplings. I'm not afraid to offend people. The taste of this Po Shui Guai is definitely much better than dumplings. You'll know when I make it for you later!"
Zhang Dan blinked and said, "Brother Feng, I love eating dumplings the most. Is the dumplings you made really as delicious as you said?"
Jiang Feng washed and dried his hands, then walked over and said, "You'll know if it's true soon!"
Huang Lingwei also washed and dried her hands, and came back eager to try: "How is this wrapped? I want to try it too!"
Jiang Feng pulled a ball of glutinous rice flour and said as he demonstrated: "I'll show you how to make it. It's actually quite simple. First, knead the glutinous rice flour into a round ball, then shape it into this shape, then add the glutinous rice core, and then seal it and you're done!"
This indeed looked quite simple, so Huang Lingwei also tore off a ball of rice flour and started making it.
However, although this thing looks simple, there are some skills involved. Although Huang Lingwei succeeded in making it, the bamboo shoot she made looked really ugly and could not be compared with the one made by Jiang Feng. This made her feel a little discouraged.
Jiang Feng explained the techniques to her while kneading the dough, and in no time he had taught Huang Lingwei how to do it. Looking at the well-made dumplings she had made, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Seeing this, Zhang Dan and Wang Lin were also busy. They washed their hands and joined the army of Baozhe.
As for Li Xiaohua, she knew that her hands-on ability was poor, so she simply took out her mobile phone and kept taking videos of everyone. This material is very suitable for posting on WeChat Moments.
Because making dumplings is not complicated, as long as someone gives you some pointers and you try a few times, you will basically be able to make them!
Four people worked together and wrapped dozens of dumplings in just a few minutes.
At this time, the water in the pot was boiling, so Jiang Feng brought the wrapped dumplings over and put them into the pot one by one.
Huang Lingwei and several other girls also came to watch.
Jiang Feng put the glutinous rice into the pot and said, "When the glutinous rice floats up, we can start eating!"
Huang Lingwei watched the dumplings being put into the pot one by one and sighed, "This dumpling is really big. One dumpling can hold several dumplings. I guess you'll be full after eating two, right?"
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "When we eat this kind of rice dumpling, basically no one eats two. At least three or four will do, and it's not a problem for some people to eat more than ten."
Huang Lingwei smacked her lips and said, "No way? It's so big, but it ate more than ten? Is it a big eater?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I'm not a big eater, it's mainly because the dumplings are so delicious that I can't stop eating. Let's not talk about people far away, let's talk about a neighbor of mine, she's a girl, she doesn't eat much normally, but one time her family made dumplings, she ate twelve dumplings in one go, it was really scary."
Huang Lingwei and others were stunned.
Such a big rabbit ate twelve? And it was a girl? This is too much!
However, after Jiang Feng's unremitting praise, they were also full of expectations for the taste of this dumpling.
Soon, the first batch of twenty or so rice dumplings that were put into the pot floated up and were ready to be eaten!
Jiang Feng took the disposable bowl next to him and put three of them in each bowl, until he had scooped up all the twenty or so dumplings.
Seeing the ladies who were eager to try, Jiang Feng picked up one of the bowls and handed it to Huang Lingwei, saying with a smile: "Ladies, what are you waiting for? Let's eat!"
Zhang Dan and the other girls couldn't help themselves after hearing that. They picked up a bowl each and quickly tore open the disposable chopsticks. Regardless of the fact that the bowl was still very hot, they blew on it a few times and put it directly into their mouths.
Compared with Zhang Dan and the other three women, Huang Lingwei's eating manners were naturally much more elegant.
"Wow, this taste is absolutely amazing, fresh and delicious, especially the perfect blend of the skin and the filling. The taste is really hard to describe in words, it's so delicious!"
"Yeah, no wonder Brother Feng said that the taste of this glutinous rice dumpling is much better than that of dumplings. What he said is absolutely right. Dumplings are just a little brother in front of it!"
"Oh my god, how can there be something so delicious in this world? It's so delicious every time I take a bite. No wonder Brother Feng's female neighbor can eat twelve of them in one go. I think I can eat seven or eight of them, too!"
“…”
The praises from Zhang Dan's three daughters were endless, and their expressions were exaggerated. Although there was an element of performance, it also showed that the taste of this dish really conquered them.
Of course, their praise was not important at all. Jiang Feng just stared at Huang Lingwei who was tasting the food. What he cared about most was whether the owner was satisfied.
Huang Lingwei tasted it carefully and praised: "It is indeed unique in flavor. It is a taste I have never tasted before. Dumplings really can't compare to it."
After hearing Huang Lingwei's comments, Jiang Feng showed a relieved expression. He had put a lot of thought into doing this. Now that he received praise from the owner, he felt that his work during this period was not in vain.
Zhang Dan had quickly finished one dumpling. When she started to eat the second one, she took the time to say, "Dumplings are popular all over the world, why can't such delicious dumplings be found in other places?"
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know about this!"
Wang Lin continued, "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat something this delicious anymore. It's such a pity!"
Li Xiaohua winked at her and said with a smile: "With our Weiwei here, are you still afraid that you won't be able to eat?"
Wang Lin suddenly realized, glanced at Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei, covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, Weiwei, from now on, the good fortune of us sisters will fall on you!"
Then Zhang Dan joined in the fun.
Huang Lingwei couldn't help but let out a "Puh" sound, "You can't even swallow something this delicious, right?"
Jiang Feng picked up one of the bowls of rice dumplings with a smile. He had been busy for half a day today and was a little hungry, so he had two bowls of rice dumplings to fill his stomach first.
After that, everyone stopped talking and started concentrating on the food in their bowls.
As a result, the fighting power of the four women cannot be underestimated.
Among them, Zhang Dan was the most valiant, killing six tigers by himself. Wang Lin and Li Xiaohua killed five each, while Huang Lingwei, perhaps considering her image, only ate four.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Dan rubbed his stomach and said, "Oh no, I feel a little full!"
Wang Lin laughed and said, "Who made you so greedy? I felt uncomfortable after eating five, but you ate six in one go. It would be strange if you didn't feel full!"
Li Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, five is a bit too much, you'll just have to wish you luck if you eat six!"
Zhang Dan sighed, "I just couldn't stop eating. I haven't eaten so much in years. Weiwei is amazing. She stopped eating after eating four!"
Huang Lingwei smiled and said, "Four is a bit too much for me. In fact, three is more appropriate!"
Li Xiaohua said, "Weiwei, Brother Feng traveled thousands of miles to come here to make dumplings for your birthday. If you don't eat one more, how can you be worthy of Brother Feng's sincerity towards you!"
Zhang Dan agreed, "Xiao Hua is right. I'm really full now. I need to go for a walk to help digest the food. Lin Lin, Xiao Hua, you two can come with me!"
While speaking, he winked at the two of them.
Wang Lin and Li Xiaohua understood what he meant and said yes in unison!
Huang Lingwei was not stupid, so she naturally knew that her roommates were deliberately moving away to leave them space. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she was not shy enough to just walk away with her sisters.
Soon, Zhang Dan and her two daughters left!
Jiang Feng and Huang Lingwei were the only ones left in the entire family hotel. They looked at each other and the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.
In order to avoid embarrassing Huang Lingwei, Jiang Feng took out the signed copy of "Chen Ergou's Evil Life" and handed it to her, saying, "Weiwei, happy birthday. This is a small gift from me. I hope you like it!"
When Huang Lingwei saw this set of books, she couldn't help but feel moved.
She recalled the day when they first added each other on WeChat. What they talked about most was this book. Her WeChat nickname has never changed and has always been "That Bunch of Dogtail Grass". Her favorite character in the novel will always be the goddess Cao Jianjia.
Jiang Feng reminded: "Weiwei, turn the page and take a look!"
Huang Lingwei followed the instructions and turned the page, and then saw the following words written on it:
If one can have a happy and stable life, who would want to be displaced?
The signature on the back is clearly the author of "Chen Ergou's Demonic Life" - Fenghuo Xi Zhuhou.
This is an original sentence from the great writer Fenghuo. When the book "Chen Ergou's Demonic Life" came out, it was very popular on the Internet, and countless demons changed their QQ signatures to this.
As one of the die-hard readers of this book, Huang Lingwei naturally likes this philosophical saying very much. Now seeing it in the book, and it is written and signed by the author himself, it is really a big surprise for her.
"Thank you, I really like this gift. Although I don't know how to make the Po Shui Guai I just ate, I can see that the craftsmanship is quite complicated. It must have taken you a lot of thought. Thank you so much!"
"As long as you like it, are you surprised to see me today? Didn't expect me to come to you suddenly?"
"It really surprised me. I chat with you on WeChat every day, but you never let anything out. You really did a great job of keeping it a secret!"
"Hehe, I was planning to give you a surprise anyway. If I tell you in advance, then what's the surprise?"
"What kind of surprise? It's more like a shock. Aren't you afraid that I won't come out to see you and you'll have made a wasted trip?"
“Don’t be afraid!”
"Why?"
"Because I have a hunch that you will definitely meet me!"
“…”
