Chapter 479 Splendid Countryside 9
"Then I'll pack with you guys. I'm not tired yet and don't need to rest!"
"Mom, where is our rolling pin? Take it out first so I can wash it."
Lin Wanwan did not choose to go back to the house to rest. She couldn't let her mother-in-law, who was so old, be busy in the kitchen while she, as a daughter-in-law, was sleeping in the house.
Doesn’t this tell whether it looks good or not?
I will also feel guilty about it.
"I've already washed the rolling pin and it's drying on the rack over there."
"Daughter-in-law, if you don't want to rest, come and make dumplings with us."
Mrs. Zhou was very skillful and quickly washed the wild vegetables, dried them and chopped them into fine pieces.
Then add the shepherd's purse foam into the minced meat.
Add a little salt and stir, and the dumpling filling is ready.
Zhou Yuesheng took out a large chopping board, took out the dough, kneaded it, and then rolled it into a long strip with his bare hands.
Finally, use your hands to pinch and pinch the dough, and small pieces of dough will fall onto the chopping board.
Grab a little bit of flour and put it on the small doughs, then gently rub and roll them with your hands.
Then flatten the dough one by one and start rolling it with a rolling pin.
Zhou Yuesheng's movements were very skillful, smooth and pleasing to the eye, and it was obvious that this was not his first time.
"During Chinese New Year, my mother and I were the only ones who made dumplings at home."
"My father can only help light the fire, he can't do anything else."
Seeing his young wife's curious look, he began to explain seriously.
"My husband, you are really amazing!"
"For others, one piece of dough at a time is already the limit. I didn't expect you to be able to do two or three at once."
Looking at Zhou Yuesheng's movements, Lin Wanwan found it hard to believe how one person could roll out three pieces of dough at the same time with just one pair of hands?
While others were rolling out one dough sheet, he had already made three fresh ones.
He could totally keep up with her and Mrs. Zhou's speed.
"Then you don't even look at who it is. Your husband and I have practiced this skill for a long time."
"That is, there is no dumpling shop in town. If there was, I would definitely apply for the job of making dumplings."
Zhou Yuesheng is not bragging, but with his speed and quality, who can compare with him?
At least he himself had never heard of anyone else in the village who had this ability.
"You are just like Wang Po selling melons and boasting about your own products!"
Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes at her son in annoyance. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law believed her and looked at her in admiration, which left her speechless.
Isn’t it just about rolling out two dumpling wrappers? What kind of skill is that?
Still want to go to town to work?
Who opens a shop without using their own family members instead of these peasants?
Mrs. Zhou kept complaining in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
Lin Wanwan listened to Zhou Yuesheng bragging and didn't think he was arrogant at all.
If you were the owner of a dumpling shop and knew there was someone who was particularly good at rolling dumpling wrappers, you would definitely want to recruit him.
The money of one laborer, but the work of three laborers.
What kind of boss is stupid enough to push such a talent out?
However, the restaurants in the town have already occupied most of the market. Even if they go to the town to sell dumplings, probably not many people will eat them.
Their small town is too poor. If they could go to the city, there might be some chance.
Forget it.
For the rest of her life, let her stay in the countryside and live a peaceful and pastoral life.
You can't be a strong woman in every world, working hard and desperately, and what will you get in the end?
Lin Wanwan was very open-minded. Since she had rarely traveled to a farmer's house, she would live a good life and live a quiet life like an ordinary family.
The dumplings were wrapped quickly. Old man Zhou came over in advance to scoop water into the pot, and then started to light the fire silently.
Lin Wanwan will no longer be needed for what happens next.
She washed the flour off her hands, then went to the Zhou family's vegetable garden and picked some green onions.
I found the dried chilies hanging in the kitchen and chopped the green onions into fine pieces.
Garlic didn't exist in that era, but that didn't bother Lin Wanwan.
She took out two clumps of garlic from the space, peeled one, and then put it in a small earthenware jar and mashed it with a rolling pin.
Finally, I put all these things together. Since there was no soy sauce at home, I could only scoop some boiling hot dumpling soup into it.
Add a little bit of salt and the aroma will immediately come out.
"It's time to eat!"
Mrs. Zhou had already started calling people. Lin Wanwan divided the prepared sauce into four portions and brought them to the table.
"Mom and Dad, this is the sauce I made. Dip the dumplings in it and they will taste better."
Lin Wanwan explained and sat down in her seat.
"Dumplings are best eaten while they're hot. Everyone, stop standing there and start eating."
Old man Zhou's mouth was already drooling.
Now that the dumplings were on the table, I couldn’t wait to pick one up and put it in the dipping sauce bowl.
As Lin Wanwan said, I dipped the dumplings in it and put them in my mouth.
When you take a bite, the juice spreads in your mouth, mixed with the spicy taste of garlic and chili, it is so appetizing.
Old man Zhou chewed the dumpling quickly twice and swallowed it.
Then he immediately stuffed the remaining half into his mouth.
Eating it this way allows the remaining half of the dumplings to cool quickly.
At least you won't burn your mouth.
The other three were not far behind. They each picked up a dumpling and ate it with the dipping sauce. It was so delicious.
"Daughter-in-law, what did you put in this? I don't think that white thing is chili pepper."
Mrs. Zhou ate three before she had time to ask about the doubts in her heart.
"That's garlic, brought from other places. We don't have much at home. I brought a few pieces with me when I got married."
"After a while, when the weather gets cooler, break the garlic into cloves and bury them in the soil. They will grow again next year."
"Garlic is spicy and good for the body. It can eliminate bad things in the body."
"I heard that foreigners hang garlic in their kitchens to ward off evil spirits."
Lin Wanwan told her family what she knew.
Mrs. Zhou and Old Man Zhou listened very attentively, and even Zhou Yuesheng stopped eating dumplings.
"So, this garlic is still a good thing!"
"Then we must plant more this year. It would be best if we could plant all the garlic cloves that you brought."
"You can't grow anything else in the winter anyway, so the land is just sitting there empty anyway."
Zhou Yuesheng smacked his lips, the aroma of the meat filling and the fragrance of shepherd's purse filling filling his mouth.
This bite of dumplings is really unforgettable.
"My son is right, daughter-in-law. You can save two pieces for me to eat later, and I can keep the rest."
"I don't know if this garlic will attract bugs. If I don't clean it properly, it will be wasted if the bugs eat it!"
Although garlic is spicy, it is very appetizing when eaten.
It's the feeling that makes people want to eat another bite after taking one.
This is because Lin Wanwan mashed the garlic into garlic paste and added other things. If the garlic cloves were eaten alone, Mrs. Zhou might not feel the same way.
"I'll give the garlic to Mom later. As long as it's not placed in a damp place, garlic rarely gets infested with insects!"
Lin Wanwan told Mrs. Zhou about the storage environment of the garlic.
Then I started eating dumplings quietly.
I remember the last time we ate dumplings was last time. This time, because we made a lot, each of the four of us ate a lot.
Old man Zhou ate without even raising his head, and only put down his chopsticks when he was almost done.
He eats fast, so he has to leave some for the children.
