Chapter 848 Dumplings, Coriander and Garlic
Chives Xiao Chengjin followed Su Ruanruan into the house and saw a large box placed on the kang next to the window. The alley was full of lush green vegetables, which were particularly attractive in this cold winter.
"Because we need to water the vegetables frequently and we are afraid of damaging the kang, we put wooden boards underneath and linoleum under the boards. We have to go through a lot just for these vegetables!"
Su Ruanruan was picking vegetables as she spoke. She only picked the ones that grew well. She picked quickly and in large quantities without feeling sorry at all.
"Ruanruan is so smart that she can come up with such a solution!" Xiao Chengjin praised.
Su Ruanruan, who had picked the vegetables, looked at Xiao Chengjin with amusement, "Why are you praising me? This idea is not my first. Someone has done this before. It was grandma who first proposed it, so I helped to do it. I just helped to carry the boxes, and the rest was done by grandpa and grandma."
Xiao Chengjin said seriously, "That's amazing too. If it weren't for you lifting the boxes, grandpa and grandma wouldn't be able to lift them! If we can't lift the boxes, the vegetables won't see the sun and won't grow so well!"
Su Ruanruan opened her mouth slightly and stared at Xiao Chengjin for a long time before she said seriously, "You are better at talking than before!"
Xiao Chengjin was already very good at speaking before, but I didn’t expect that after leaving for half a year, he could speak even better than before!
She likes it! There are very few vegetables to eat in winter, and the only vegetable that can be used to make dumpling fillings is cabbage.
But the dumpling filling that Grandma Chen prepared today is still a little richer than that of other families.
In addition to onions, ginger, meat and cabbage, some mushrooms were also added.
The shiitake mushrooms are dried shiitake mushrooms. When there were plenty of shiitake mushrooms before, Su Ruanruan would exchange some with others for other things every time she returned to the production team.
After they are brought back, they are dried and stored in a cool and ventilated place so that you can eat something different in the winter.
Otherwise, if you eat either cabbage, radishes, potatoes or sweet potatoes all day long, anyone would get tired of it.
Even though the dumpling filling tasted much better just by adding more mushrooms, everyone present was smiling while eating it.
After dinner, Grandma Chen found a cloth bag, put the frozen dumplings into it, and handed it to Xiao Chengjin. "If you bring other things, be sure to put the dumplings on top. Don't let them get crushed. It's best to leave some space for ventilation to prevent them from melting."
Xiao Chengjin took the dumplings carefully and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I will definitely take them back and let my grandparents taste your cooking skills."
The cloth bag that Grandma Chen was holding was not small, and it was filled with half a bag of dumplings. If only Xiao Dashan and Luo Yufeng were eating, it would probably be enough for them to eat four or five meals.
Not to mention the production team, even ordinary families in the county town had extremely limited number of times to eat dumplings throughout the year.
One can imagine how thoughtful and considerate this gift was that Grandma Chen prepared.
Su Ruanruan also picked some coriander and garlic sprouts, tied them up with a rope, and gave them to Xiao Chengjin, "You have to put this on top too! Otherwise, it will be inedible if it gets crushed! Be careful on the way back!"
"Well, don't worry! Although I haven't been home for half a year, I haven't forgotten the way home. Besides, with the clothes I'm wearing now, no one would think of taking advantage of me."
Su Ruanruan also knew that what Xiao Chengjin said was true, but she was not completely relieved because of that.
