"This Jia Dongsheng is so kind! He treated the children to fried dough sticks before, and treated everyone in our courtyard to roasted whole wolf. Now he's treating the children to meat dumplings. Oh, how can I thank him enough?"
After all, everyone understands feelings, and Jia Dongsheng's kindness and righteousness are well-known in the courtyard.
Nowadays, when the neighbors in the courtyard mention Jia Dongsheng, they all give him a thumbs up and praise him for his integrity in doing things.
So, Jia Dongsheng was chopping stuffing and making dumplings in the house. Even though the food was so delicious, the neighbors in the yard did not show any jealousy. On the contrary, they all showed expressions of gratitude.
"Let's keep this gratitude in our hearts. When we get something good in the future, we can just think of Dongsheng."
"Aunt Chen is right. When the time comes, we'll treat Dongsheng to something good."
"It's a pity that these days, if you want to eat something good, it's really not easy without Dongsheng's ability."
"Who says it's not true? Now I can't even buy some meat, so eating good food is just a dream."
“…”
While people in the courtyard were talking about it, Jia Dongsheng was teaching Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu how to make steamed dumplings.
Nowadays, fewer people eat steamed dumplings.
Most people eat dumplings.
There’s no way, there’s not much filling, it would be a waste to make steamed dumplings.
Steamed dumplings are much larger than boiled dumplings. The filling used to make one steamed dumpling is enough to make three or even four boiled dumplings.
This also led to Qin Huairu being stunned when the first steamed dumpling came out.
"Dongsheng, these dumplings are too big, aren't they?"
Qin Huairu pointed to her mouth and said in surprise, "I think it would take me three or five bites to finish a dumpling."
"Three or five bites?"
Jia Dongsheng looked at Qin Huairu's cherry mouth with a smile, his eyes seemed to say, how much your mouth can hold, don't I know?
Qin Huairu was worthy of being Qin Huairu. She understood Jia Dongsheng's eyes at the first moment. Her face turned slightly red. She glared at Jia Dongsheng fiercely, then turned her head and talked to Qin Jingru.
With a chuckle, Jia Dongsheng said, "Let's make dumplings with all this meat. We'll have a good meal tonight. It's going to be delicious."
As the saying goes, there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. If you want to talk about the most fragrant meat, it has to be donkey meat, especially the big steamed donkey meat dumplings, which are so delicious that your mouth will be full of saliva.
It’s a pity that it is not easy to buy some good donkey meat in later generations, so there is no donkey meat stored in the homestay. In this era, although there are more people raising donkeys, donkeys have become the main labor force, and people rely on them to pull goods in the fields.
Unless the donkey is too old to work, few people will kill it, and you can only buy donkey meat by chance.
While making dumplings, Jia Dongsheng was thinking about how to achieve donkey meat freedom.
Jia Dongsheng knows many ways to cook donkey meat.
"In addition to letting my father-in-law raise chickens, ducks, and geese, do we have to raise some livestock?"
But nowadays people don’t have much food to eat, and animals have even less to eat.
We have to think about it in the long run.
After wrapping thirty dumplings, Jia Dongsheng put them in the pot to steam.
Donkey meat dumplings are big, and thirty of them are just right in a pot. They can be cooked in twenty minutes, which is very convenient.
Accompanied by a burst of fragrance, the donkey meat steamed dumplings are finally ready.
"Jingru, sister-in-law, each of you should eat one first and taste whether it is delicious or not."
Although Jia Dongsheng liked to eat, he had not forgotten what he had promised the children, so he was not going to touch the first pot of dumplings.
"Brother Dongsheng, you should try it."
Qin Jingru picked up a dumpling and handed it to Jia Dongsheng's mouth, indicating that Jia Dongsheng should eat it first.
"Jingru, there are still so many. No need to push them around. You and sister-in-law can eat first. I'll send two to mom."
As he spoke, Jia Dongsheng took a bowl, filled it with five big dumplings, and went to the living room.
Jia Zhang had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When she saw the dumplings come out, she smiled and said, "Dongsheng, you are the one who cares about your mother. Unlike those two daughters-in-law, they don't know how to respect the elderly."
"Mom, I brought it to you. Jingru and sister-in-law don't need to bring you a bowl as well, right?"
This old mother-in-law likes to find trouble for her daughter-in-law whenever she has nothing to do.
"Okay, okay, just go towards them."
Jia Zhang said no more. Faced with the food, she had no intention of educating her son. Instead, she picked up the chopsticks, picked up a dumpling, and put it into her mouth.
Unfortunately, the dumplings were still very hot when they were just out of the pot, and when Jia Dongsheng was making the filling, he deliberately added a little more oil and soup. This made the dumplings more fragrant, and there was soup when you bit into them, just like soup dumplings, which was even more delicious.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…it’s burning me to death.”
Jia Zhang was scalded and took a deep breath, but she was reluctant to give up the donkey meat dumplings in her mouth. She continued to chew them in big mouthfuls, and the expression on her face showed that she was enjoying it very much.
"Mom, eat slowly. No one is going to snatch it from you. There's still plenty."
Seeing Jia Zhang's eating manner, Jia Dongsheng was at a loss for words. He walked to the refrigerator nearby, took out a bottle of Beibingyang, and placed it in front of Jia Zhang: "Mom, have some iced drink to cool you down."
"Okay, go do your work and don't worry about me."
Having said that, he took the Arctic Ocean and took a big gulp, then immediately picked up the dumplings and started eating them in big mouthfuls.
I have to say that Jia Zhang's appetite is really good. Everything she eats tastes delicious. Jia Dongsheng feels a little hungry just by looking at her.
Back in the kitchen, Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu were laughing and talking about the taste of the dumplings: "Sister, these dumplings are really delicious. It seems like this is the first time I have eaten such delicious dumplings in my life."
"Of course, this is made by Dongsheng. With his cooking skills, nothing he makes won't taste good."
Jia Dongsheng was a little proud of what Qin Huairu said. He walked over and said with a smile: "Haha, I'll make you a dark dish tomorrow to try and see if my cooking is good."
"What is dark cuisine?"
Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu both became curious. In their hearts, they really thought that whatever Jia Dongsheng cooked was delicious.
"Dark cuisine, it's something very delicious, just like frying these dumplings in a pan."
"Frying in oil?"
Qin Huairu was surprised: "How delicious it would be!"
That’s right, in Qin Huairu’s opinion, donkey meat steamed dumplings are already so delicious, wouldn’t it be even more delicious if they were fried in oil?
"Hear me out."
Jia Dongsheng continued, "Fry both sides of the steamed dumplings until they are charcoal-like, and then eat them. It's a dark dish."
"Fried into charcoal?"
Qin Jingru was puzzled: "How can it be delicious, Brother Dongsheng?"
"Jingru, you are stupid. It has been fried into charcoal. How can you still eat it? It is burnt." Qin Huairu pointed at Qin Jingru's forehead with her finger and said unhappily.
"Oh, that's such a waste. Such delicious dumplings are wasted." Although Qin Jingru hadn't eaten them yet, she had already imagined the scene and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
