Chapter 165: Sea Sausage Dumplings
"San'er, hurry up and order some dishes. Mom and I are starving to death!"
One of the older, fatter men sat down on a stool with his bag, panting heavily from exhaustion.
The old lady did the same. After sitting down, she put her legs on another stool and kept pounding her legs.
"Oh, I'm so tired! I don't know why that debt collector ran so far! She left without saying a word, and I had to run so far to find her!"
The thin man named San'er was also very tired, but he still got up and walked to the ordering window.
"Hello, comrade. I want three bowls of noodles with meat sauce!"
When it was time to pay, he felt his pocket, rolled his eyes, and shouted behind him, "Mom, give me the money!"
The old lady looked at him with a frown, "How much is it? You brothers are like leeches all day long. I think you won't stop until you suck your mother to death!"
The fat man and the thin man were both unhappy when they heard this.
"Mom, what are you talking about? When did we ever suck your blood? Didn't you ask for Erni's money?"
"That's right, Mom, stop talking and pay! Four dollars and fifty cents, and give me some more tickets!"
When she heard four dollars and a half, the old lady jumped up immediately.
"Why is this noodles so expensive? Is this a shady shop?"
Zhou Lianhai on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
"Ma'am, we are a legitimate state-owned restaurant! Please don't talk nonsense!"
The fat man also quickly pulled her.
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's a state-owned hotel. Don't think it's in our village!"
Skinny also felt that she was embarrassing. Although there were not many people eating at this hour, she spoke without reservation, which attracted many people to look in their direction.
He was a little anxious: "Mom, why are you talking nonsense? What kind of black shop is this? What I want is meat sauce noodles! With meat, not plain noodles! Hurry up and give me the money!"
The old lady felt a little embarrassed as they kept talking to each other.
"That's too expensive. How about we just have plain noodles, or some steamed buns and some pickled cabbage dumplings..."
After hearing her words, the fat man was the first to lose patience.
"Ah, are you annoying? I'm not asking you to pay. When you get to the unit and find Erni, won't the money come back? I heard her boyfriend is a battalion commander, and his monthly salary is over a hundred yuan! When you get there, you can't be so stingy like you are now. Talk to her nicely and try to get more money to take back!"
After saying that, he pulled the money bag out of her pocket.
Walk towards the ordering window.
"San'er, here, I've been craving for food for the past few months. Order some braised pork and some big buns! Let's satisfy our craving!"
When the thin man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Okay!"
He immediately said to the window happily: "Add another plate of braised pork and five meat buns!"
The old lady was a little reluctant and wanted to just eat a bowl of noodles. But then she thought, even if she didn't eat, the other two would have to eat too. Why should she put herself in such a difficult situation?
She had to eat as much as she wanted, since she would be arriving at the army unit soon. When she got there, she would find Erni and her son-in-law and ask them to compensate her for everything!
Seeing this family like this, Song Shiwei frowned a little, especially when she heard them talking about going to the army to find her daughter Erni, and the man was a battalion commander.
Although he didn't know whose relative he was, Song Shiwei thought he must be from the family compound.
Even Xiao Zhang could hear it. He whispered behind Song Shiwei, "I don't know which sister-in-law's relative this is. I feel like they are up to no good. I guess there's some trouble going on!"
Song Shiwei nodded, but she couldn't care less.
She agreed on the price of sea sausage noodles with Zhou Lianhai, which was RMB 5 per pound. Zhou Lianhai heard that she had quite a lot at home, so he wanted to buy it all for her.
Song Shiwei didn't bring everything this time. There were more than 100 kilograms in total. Who could carry it all?
Another thing she did when she came to Qing City this time was to buy bottles.
But since Zhou Lianhai wanted to buy it all, she told him directly.
"Manager Zhou, I don't have that many bottles at home. Do you have any sealed containers here that can hold the sea sausage powder? If you have any, I'll give you a few more kilograms so I don't have to buy bottles!"
Zhou Lianhai was also happy to hear this, because their restaurant had a lot of bottles and jars.
"That's great! I can just have someone bring these bottles and jars back with you to get them! You don't have to run back and forth!"
Song Shiwei was also very happy when he heard it.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to find someone to go with me!"
Song Shiwei led people back to the family compound. The sisters-in-law were still tying mops. It would take two or three days to tie so many mops. However, the finished ones had been taken away by Xiao Cui and Gou Sheng this morning.
Seeing her coming back with people, Sun Meimei and the others laughed and said, "Weiwei, you can't be idle all day long!"
How can she be idle? She is indeed busy every day. If she wasn't pregnant now, she really wants to roll up her sleeves and get to work!
She let Zhou Lianhai's people take the things away and paid her. She was extremely happy when she saw the few hundred yuan more in her hands.
Although her personal piggy bank doesn't have much money now, it has already reached 10,000 yuan.
But who would complain about having too much money? She wanted to open a restaurant and build a factory in the future. To be honest, this amount of money was far from enough!
She didn’t sell all the sea sausages at home, so there was still a lot left. She thought about making sea sausage dumplings!
Isn’t that the old saying true?
Nothing tastes better than dumplings, and when paired with this delicious sea sausage, the taste is even better!
Knead the dough first, let it rest, and then start preparing the fillings.
Pick the chives, wash and chop them, and mix them with oil to prevent them from releasing water.
Take out a dozen fresh sausages from the bucket, cut off the two ends with scissors, squeeze out the dirt and water inside, and rinse them dry.
It is best to scrub it with salt to remove the mucus on the outside.
Then cut into small pieces about 1.5 cm long.
Add the chopped chives, salt and a little MSG, then add some sesame oil and mix well.
After the fillings are mixed, you can start rolling out the dough.
While she was doing it, Zhou Tingyue came back. When he saw that she was going to make dumplings, he quickly washed his hands and came over to help.
"Eating dumplings today?"
Song Shi smiled and nodded: "Yes, today we are eating dumplings filled with sea sausage!"
“Stuffed with sea sausage?”
It was the first time that Zhou Tingyue heard about this stuffed dumpling, so she was inevitably a little surprised.
But when I think about the delicious and fresh sea sausage fried with leeks I had last night, I guess these sea sausage dumplings won’t be much worse.
"I'll help you roll out the dough, and you wrap it!"
Song Shiwei handed him the rolling pin in his hand.
The two of them divided the work, one rolled the dough and the other wrapped it.
It's quite warm.
When I was almost done wrapping, I suddenly heard a commotion coming from outside.
