Chapter 255 Making Baiji Mo
Song Shiwei wanted more and more to run a catering business 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, where accommodation would include breakfast.
It will definitely attract a lot of people.
But I have no money at the moment!
After dinner, Song Shiwei walked around the area again and saw that several small vendors seemed to be doing good business, so she wanted to try it even more.
Of course, we will 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 family took the earliest boat back to the family compound 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 you went to Beijing!"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on her huge 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?"
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, don't I want to leave you?"
Sun Meimei pouted and laughed: "Oh my, why do I not believe it? When did we become so important to you?"
Jian Qiu and Wang Chunxiang also came out when they heard 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 so warm that Song Shiwei squinted his eyes happily.
“It’s great to be back!”
Wang Chunxiang touched her belly, which was bigger than that of a normal woman about to give birth, and couldn't help but worry.
"You are a key personnel now, you must be careful. I think, in the next few months, several of us will have to take turns to watch you. 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 Jing City. 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 health center 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 these 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 certain that he must find a nanny for Song Shiwei as soon as possible.
Hurry, now, right now!
After packing his things, he hurried to report to the team and cancel his leave!
By the way, is there any relative willing to come over and be a nanny for a while?
Although he could ask the servants around him to help at home in daily life, Xiao Zhang and the others were only teenagers after all.
How can I take good care of it?
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.
I bought a total of two and a half pounds of meat, two pounds of stewed meat, and half a pound of chopped meat.
Song Shiwei rolled up his sleeves and prepared to knead the dough.
After all, it will take some time for the dough to rise.
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 into it.
Then knead into a smooth dough.
Cover with a lid and place 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 rise in a day.
This is a good time to make braised pork.
The meat I bought this time was pork belly with alternating fat and lean meat.
Song Shiwei deliberately picked meat with more lean meat and less fat so that it would not be greasy to eat.
Rinse the meat 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 it more fragrant when cooked.
When blanching, Song Shiwei added onion, ginger, and a few drops of white wine.
You can’t buy cooking wine on Qilian Island, but using white wine will have the same effect.
After the water boils, skim off the foam, then serve and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan, add rock sugar when the oil is hot 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 the onion, ginger, cinnamon, bay leaves, nutmeg, pepper, fennel, angelica, and star anise... and stir-fry until the aroma comes out.
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, and it 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, the filling of wontons is the same as that of dumplings.
If you want it to taste good, you must add the water soaked with pepper, 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 filling.
This kind of filling is delicious, juicy and fragrant!
After preparing the filling, she quickly mixed some dough to make the dumpling wrappers.
The dumpling wrappers must be made with unleavened dough, as those made with leavened dough will not taste good.
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.
At this time, the aroma of the braised pork she had cooked had already come out, wafting through the window gaps and filling the family compound.
Many people knew that this must be Song Shiwei returning.
In the entire compound, there is really no one else who can cook as deliciously as she does.
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 handfuls of 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 made thicker for fear that she would feel uncomfortable wearing them because of her heavy body.
Song Shiwei was extremely surprised.
The sisters-in-law saw her kneading dough, stewing meat, and rolling out dough for making wontons.
They washed their hands and came to help.
"Hey, Weiwei, if you ask me, you should stop working at this time!"
"That's right, wait until your family comes back at noon before cooking!"
"Yes, then this pregnancy of yours is really amazing. You are pregnant with four babies at once. You have to be careful!"
