"You have delicate skin, so you definitely can't get it massaged. We all have calluses on our hands, so it won't be that hot." Aunt Cuihua looked at her and explained with a smile.
Song Jinxiu didn't quite believe it. It must have been burned, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Then she ran to Brother Dazhu and kneaded the rice flour dough twice.
It looks easy, but it still takes a lot of effort to knead it!
In less than ten minutes, Song Jinxiu surrendered.
Then she looked at the leeks cut by the village chief, a big handful of them, and looked at her hands, and decided to give up.
However, Aunt Cuihua didn't knead it for long. After it was formed, she covered it and left it there, waiting for Brother Dazhu to process it again.
Then mix the stuffing and start wrapping.
Song Jinxiu looked at Aunt Cuihua carefully and learned step by step.
It’s impossible to catch up. Aunt Cuihua made two dumplings before she started to pinch them.
I pinched this side and broke that side, then I grabbed some skin from the basin to patch it up.
The final result is a chive cake with patches all over it.
"Hahaha!" Brother Dazhu laughed out loud.
Aunt Cuihua couldn't help laughing when she saw it.
"What's so funny? I wasn't very skilled at it the first time. It will be fine next time!" Song Jinxiu said, and then continued to make the second one.
The second one was fine, and it didn't break at all when I pinched it.
"Hahaha, you wrap such a small amount of leeks and only eat the skin?" Another complaint from Dazhuzi.
No matter how angry you are, you still have to keep smiling.
"At least it's not broken!" Song Jinxiu retorted.
"It's all skin, where do you want him to be broken?" said Dazhuzi.
"Hmph, I've learned it now. I'm sure I can wrap the next one well." Song Jinxiu said angrily.
Then continue with the third one.
This is very good, with just the right amount of chives, and it doesn’t break even when you pinch it.
"See it, see it. Three times the limit. I told you I can wrap it." Song Jinxiu showed off the wrapped chive cake before putting it down.
However, as soon as it was put down, a large crack appeared on the back.
Aunt Cuihua laughed.
"Shh, shh!" Song Jinxiu turned around and found that Dazhuzi didn't see it, so she quickly tore off some skin to patch it up.
"Hahahaha!! Hahahaha!!" Unfortunately, the evidence was right there. In the end, he was still mercilessly ridiculed.
"Aunt, has Brother Dazhu ever made dumplings before?" Song Jinxiu asked.
Aunt Cuihua smiled and shook her head.
"Tsk, how dare you, someone who can't even make chive cakes, laugh at me." Song Jinxiu rolled her eyes at him.
"Little girl, I will make you convinced today." Dazhuzi put down the rice balls and came over to wrap chive cakes.
The movements were smooth and the finished product was also...
Although it’s not as pretty as the one my aunt made, it’s not broken either!
"Did you see it? Did you see it?" Dazhuzi deliberately took it in front of Song Jinxiu for her to see.
"You must be able to do it already, and your aunt is covering for you." Song Jinxiu said.
"Hey, you little girl, you don't want to admit defeat, right?" said Dazhuzi.
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen. Anyway, I have never seen whether you have packed it or not before." Song Jinxiu said shamelessly.
"Auntie, look at Brother Dazhu being lazy here. He hasn't even kneaded the rice balls yet!" Song Jinxiu complained to Aunt Cuihua.
"You don't understand this. Let it rest for a while, and then knead it again after a while." Dazhuzi said. After kneading it three or four times, it will be easier to wrap and more elastic.
Of course, the person in front of me is an exception.
"You're just being lazy. Excuses are all excuses. Then when you have some free time, go help me cut the leeks! Didn't you see I've been cutting for so long?
You're already in your twenties, and you're still so ignorant." Song Jinxiu added, shaking her head.
Seeing this, Dazhuzi wanted to beat her up.
Having said that, it would be unreasonable for him to go over and take over cutting leeks, so he had no choice but to go over and take over his father's job!
Dazhuzi gave Song Jinxiu a few glares, and Song Jinxiu made faces at him.
After a while, Liu Ankang also came over. He had written a page before coming over.
"An An, come here, I'll teach you how to make chive cakes." Song Jinxiu greeted warmly.
"Hahaha! Are you sure you are not teaching patched rice cake?" Dazhuzi laughed mercilessly.
"An An, go and beat him. You are a child and he won't dare to fight back." Song Jinxiu said to Liu Ankang.
Liu Ankang looked at her. He didn't dare to fight back even though she was a woman.
But he still cooperated and kicked Brother Dazhu.
"Hey, you kid."
After Liu Ankang kicked her, he washed his hands and sat next to Song Jinxiu.
"Can you wrap it?" Song Jinxiu asked.
Liu Ankang shook his head and looked at Aunt Cuihua's bag carefully.
"You look down on me, don't you? Why are you looking at your aunt? Look at me, I'll teach you." Song Jinxiu bumped Liu Ankang with her hand.
Liu Ankang looked at Aunt Cuihua and then at Song Jinxiu, then helped her adjust the position of her wrist and fingers.
"Oh, it's much more beautiful!" Song Jinxiu said in amazement.
She admired her freshly baked chive cake for a long time before putting it down.
Next, Liu Ankang also started to wrap it up.
"An An. Look at the first one I wrapped." Song Jinxiu pointed to the thing covered with patches.
Liu Ankang was stunned. How could it be wrapped like that?
"Shouldn't you wrap the first one well as well? At least better than mine, right?" Song Jinxiu emphasized the word well.
Liu Ankang looked at the skin on his hands and was a little worried. How could he wrap it like that? He didn't know how to do it.
Liu Ankang kneaded the dough into a ball again and started kneading it carefully again.
Then he made a chive cake with the same patch on it.
"Hahaha!! It's okay, it's your first time making it and this is already very good. It took me three to get good at it. You can do it too!" Song Jinxiu looked at the patched cake and comforted Liu Ankang with a smile.
I want three more! Liu Ankang put on a small face and started to work resignedly.
Aunt Cuihua watched their interaction and smiled happily.
From being excited at the beginning to feeling restless later on.
Well, okay, that's a bit exaggerated. But I'm an adult after all, so I can still bear it.
Smelling the fragrance of chives filling the yard, Song Jinxiu felt hungry.
But the steaming process is not that fast. The fire will not be lit until at least two-thirds of the dumplings are wrapped.
Because once you start steaming, you have to keep steaming it.
Finally, Song Jinxiu saw Aunt Cuihua stand up and pick up the chive cakes and put them into the pot to steam.
One pot can steam two grates. A thin layer of cloth is placed on the grates and placed in circles.
Thinking that she could eat right away, Song Jinxiu felt very motivated and quickened her movements.
No way.
"Auntie, how long does it take to steam it?" Song Jinxiu asked.
"After the water boils, steam it for about a quarter of an hour." Aunt Cuihua said with a smile.
A quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes, which is not a very long time.
While continuing to knead the dumplings in her hand, Song Jinxiu's mind had already run into the kitchen.
The best leek cake is freshly cooked.
Of course, it is also delicious when cooked in soup or fried.
