Chapter 165 Sea Cucumber Dumplings
"San'er, hurry up and order some dishes. Mom and I are almost starving to death!"
One of the older, fatter men sat down on a stool carrying 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 window to order food.
"Hello comrade, I want three bowls of noodles with meat sauce!"
When he was about to pay, he felt his pocket, rolled his eyes, and shouted behind him, "Mom, pay!"
The old lady looked at him with a look of dissatisfaction, "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 have we ever sucked 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 the price of four dollars and fifty cents, the old lady jumped up immediately.
"Why is the 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 up.
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? It's a state-owned restaurant, don't think it's in our village!"
Skinny also thought she was embarrassing. Although there were not many people eating at this time, she spoke without any reservations, which attracted many people to look at them.
He was a little anxious: "Mom, why are you talking nonsense? What kind of black shop is this? What I want is noodles with meat sauce! With meat, not plain noodles! Hurry up and give me the money!"
The old lady felt a little embarrassed as they kept talking to her.
"That's too expensive. How about we just have plain noodles, or some steamed buns and some pickled cabbage..."
The fat man couldn't stand it after hearing her words.
"Ah, you are so annoying. I'm not asking you to pay. When you get to the army and find Erni, won't the money come back? I heard that her boyfriend is a battalion commander and earns over a hundred yuan a month! 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 purse out of her pocket.
Walk towards the ordering window.
"San'er, here, I've lost my appetite in the past few months. Order some braised pork and a few big buns! Let's satisfy our cravings!"
When the thin man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Okay!"
He immediately said happily to the window: "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 subject herself to such a hardship?
She had to eat as much as she wanted, since she would be arriving at the army soon anyway. When she got there, she would find Erni and her son-in-law and ask them to compensate her for everything!
Looking at the 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 the person was, Song Shiwei thought he must be from the staff housing complex.
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 will be some trouble!"
Song Shiwei nodded, but she couldn't care less.
She agreed on the price of sea rice noodle rolls with Zhou Lianhai, which was five yuan per pound. Zhou Lianhai heard that she had a lot of them at home, so he wanted to buy them 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 that can hold sea rice noodle rolls? 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, as their restaurant had many bottles and cans.
"That's great! I can just have someone bring these bottles and jars back with you! You don't have to run back and forth!"
Song Shiwei was also very happy when he heard it.
"Okay, then please find someone to go with me!"
Song Shiwei brought his 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 stay idle all day long!"
How can she stay 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 very happy to see the extra few hundred dollars in her hand.
Although her little piggy bank isn't very big now, she is already worth over ten thousand yuan.
But who complains about having too much money? She also wants to open a restaurant and build a factory in the future, but to be honest, this amount of money is far from enough!
She didn’t sell all the sea cucumbers at home, so there were still a lot left. She thought about making sea cucumber dumplings!
Isn’t the old saying true?
Nothing tastes better than dumplings, and when paired with this delicious sea cucumber, the taste is simply unbelievable!
Knead the dough first, let it rest aside, then start preparing the filling.
Pick the chives, wash and chop them, and mix them with oil to prevent them from releasing water.
Take out a dozen fresh sea cucumbers from the bucket, cut off the two ends with scissors, squeeze out the internal organs and water, and rinse them clean.
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 filling is mixed, you can start rolling out the dough.
While she was doing that, Zhou Tingyue came back. When he saw that she was making dumplings, he quickly washed his hands and came over to help.
“Eating dumplings today?”
Song Shi smiled and nodded: "Yes, today we have dumplings filled with sea cucumber!"
"Sea sausage stuffing?"
It was the first time Zhou Tingyue heard of dumplings with this filling, so he was inevitably a little surprised.
But when I think about the delicious and fresh sea cucumber and leeks I had last night, I guess these sea cucumber 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.
The two of them divided the work, one rolled the dough and the other wrapped it.
It's quite cozy.
When I was almost done wrapping, I suddenly heard a commotion coming from outside.
