Chapter 255 Making Baiji Mo
Song Shiwei wanted more and more to have a meal near the train station.
If she had enough money, she would even like to open a guesthouse nearby, or even a hotel with catering services and breakfast included in the room rate.
It will definitely attract a lot of people.
But I have no money right now!
After dinner, Song Shiwei walked around the area again and saw a few small vendors that seemed to be doing good business, so she wanted to do it even more.
Of course, we'll have to wait until we get back to talk about all this.
The children were all tired, so everyone went back to the guesthouse to sleep.
The next morning, Song Shiwei and her friends took the earliest boat back to their home with their children.
When they arrived, Sun Meimei was washing dishes in the yard.
Seeing them coming back, she immediately ran over in surprise.
"Weiwei, you guys are finally back? I thought you wouldn't come back after going to Beijing!"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on her big belly and she couldn't help but worry.
"Oh my, your belly is scary to me. How did your mother-in-law let you come back without worry?"
Zhou Tingyue went to put his luggage away first.
Several kids also ran off to play with their friends.
Song Shi smiled and held her hand: "My mother-in-law is naturally worried. Isn't it because I can't bear to leave you?"
Sun Meimei pouted and laughed, "Oh my, why don't I believe it? When did we become so important to you?"
Jian Qiu and Wang Chunxiang also came out after hearing the noise.
"That's right! We are not that charming! You are reluctant to leave your family, right? Hahahaha"
"Weiwei, you must be exhausted from the journey. I'm worried just looking at you with such a big belly!"
Jian Qiu hurried home and brought out a few stools, and the few of them simply sat at the door to bask in the sun.
Now that spring has arrived, the sun is warm and Song Shiwei squinted his eyes happily in the sun.
“It’s great to be back!”
Wang Chunxiang touched her belly, which was bigger than other pregnant women's, and couldn't help but worry.
"You are an important person now, you must be careful. I think we will have to take turns to watch you in the next few months. It's scary to walk like that! What if you fall or get hurt?"
Jian Qiu also agreed with L: "Yes, yes, although we all want you to come back, it is actually safest for you to stay in Beijing. After all, the medical technology there must be the most advanced in the country!"
Song Shi smiled and said, "The medical level of our military hospital is also very good!"
Sun Meimei sighed: "Our hospital is indeed good, but it is not proficient in obstetrics and gynecology! After all, there are not so many pregnant women in the army! If you feel uncomfortable in the past few days, you must tell me in advance!"
Song Shi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I understand!"
In the room, Zhou Tingyue listened to their conversation and became more and more determined to find a nanny for Song Shiwei as soon as possible.
Hold on tight, now, right now!
After packing his things, he hurried to report to the team and cancel his leave!
By the way, can you please find out if any relative is willing to come over and be a babysitter for a while?
Although he can ask the servants around him to help at home in daily life, Xiao Zhang and his friends are still teenagers after all.
How can I take good care of you?
It would be better to find a female nanny.
Song Shiwei didn't know that he had already thought of finding a nanny. While it was still early, she went to the service point with Sun Meimei and the others. She planned to buy some meat and noodles and have Baiji steamed buns and wontons for lunch.
In total, I bought two and a half pounds of meat, two pounds for stewing brine and half a pound for chopped meat.
Song Shiwei rolled up his sleeves and prepared to knead the dough.
After all, it will take some time for the noodles to develop.
He scooped a few scoops of flour from the flour jar and poured it into the large basin.
Dissolve the baking powder, a little sugar and alkali flour in warm water, pour into the flour and stir until it becomes floc-like.
Then knead into a smooth dough.
Cover it with a lid and place it next to the stove to wait for it to rise.
The weather is still cold at this time, and if you don’t put it next to the coal stove, it won’t heat up in a day.
This is a good time to make braised halogen pork.
The meat I bought this time was pork belly with alternating fat and lean texture.
Song Shiwei deliberately picked meat with more lean meat and less fat so that the meat would not taste greasy.
Rinse the meat, dry it, and cut it into mahjong-sized pieces. Add water to the pot and blanch it in cold water to remove the fishy smell of the meat and make the cooked meat more fragrant.
When blanching, Song Shiwei added green onions, ginger, and a few drops of white wine.
You can’t buy cooking wine here on Qilian Island, but using white wine will have the same effect.
When the water boils, skim off the foam, then serve and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan, add rock sugar and stir-fry until it turns brown. Then quickly add the blanched meat and stir-fry the sugar color. After the meat is colored, add scallions, ginger, cinnamon, bay leaves, nutmeg, Sichuan pepper, fennel, angelica, and star anise... and stir-fry until fragrant.
To make the meat darker in color, add more soy sauce.
When the meat is colored, you can add water and stew it.
The water added at this time must be hot water. If you add cold water, the meat will not be stewed well. The stewed meat will not taste good and will be woody. It will not have that soft, glutinous and mellow taste!
After the meat was stewed, Song Shiwei began to prepare the wonton filling.
In fact, wonton filling is the same as dumpling filling.
If you want it to taste good, you must add the water soaked with pepper, green onion and ginger.
This way the filling will be more filling.
If conditions permit, Song Shiwei would like to make some pork skin jelly and add it to the stuffing.
This kind of stuffing is delicious, juicy and fragrant!
After preparing the filling, she quickly mixed some dough to roll out the dumpling wrappers.
The dumpling wrapper must be made with unleavened dough, as leavened dough will not taste good when rolled out.
But you know what, maybe it’s really because she’s pregnant, Song Shiwei felt her waist ache halfway through rolling the dough.
She didn't dare to show off, so she had to rest for a while and then roll it again.
By this time, the aroma of the braised baloney she had cooked had already come out, floating through the window slits and filling the courtyard.
Many people knew that this must be Song Shiwei returning.
In the entire compound, there is really no one else who cooks such delicious meals besides her.
Some of her sisters-in-law who had received her favor came to see her one after another, bringing gifts.
Some took a bag of eggs, some took a piece of meat, some took a few green vegetables grown using the method she taught, and some took potatoes, sweet potatoes and big pumpkins.
Her sister-in-law even made a pair of shoes suitable for spring and sent them to her.
The soles of the shoes were specially made thicker, as we were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable wearing them because of her heavy body.
Song Shiwei was so surprised that he couldn't help it.
The sisters-in-law saw her kneading dough, stewing meat, and rolling out dough to make wontons.
Fenfen washed her hands and came over to help.
"Hey, Weiwei, if you ask me, you should stop working now!"
"That's right, wait until your family comes back at noon before cooking!"
"Yes, your pregnancy is amazing. You are carrying four babies at once. You have to be careful!"
