Chapter 75: Round and plump dumplings
When Gao Fang heard this, he immediately straightened his chest and said with pride.
"Sister-in-law, don't underestimate me. I worked in the kitchen for half a year. I can knead dough, chop meat, steam buns, make dumplings, make buns, and twist flower rolls... I can do it all!"
After Jiang Ning finished listening, he looked at Gao Fang patting his chest and smiled slightly.
She also had a clue in her mind.
A soldier who has been trained in the kitchen squad is indeed a good helper!
She said, "Then I'll trouble Comrade Xiao Gao today."
Gao Fang immediately waved his hand and spoke.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. Qin Tuan treats me like a brother and takes special care of me. I'm so happy to be able to help you. And..."
Having said that.
Gao Fang suddenly lowered his voice, with a hint of mystery in his expression.
He said in a very low voice.
"Sister-in-law, Captain Qin is good at everything except cooking. When he was in the kitchen, he even ruined the steamed buns and was given a minor demerit!"
Jiang Ning heard it.
Her clear and moving eyes lit up instantly.
She had never seen anything in Qin Jiulie that the man could not do.
He asked with some surprise, "Jiulie has also been to the kitchen?"
"Yeah, Qin Tuan is setting an example, but... he's not as good as me!"
Gao Fang raised his eyebrows slightly, even looking a little proud.
After all, he couldn't beat Qin Jiulie in target shooting and cross-country running, but he beat Qin Jiulie in making dumplings, which was a real "win"!
After all, Qin Jiulie is the best in the entire army and a legendary figure like a myth.
Who doesn't want to beat him once.
Only because he is so high-profile, he has such an opportunity.
The more Jiang Ning listened, the more interesting it seemed to him, and he wanted to hear more details.
But at this time.
“Ahem.”
A low and deep cough came from beside them.
Qin Jiulie had already stood at the door without knowing when.
A pair of eyes as dark as ink, with a hint of majesty, were staring at Jiang Ning and Gao Fang who were whispering.
The moment Gao Fang released his fist, he felt a chill on his back and his whole body tensed up.
It was as if Qin Jiulie was staring at him on the training ground.
He stood straight at attention, held his head high and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go into the house and knead the dough!"
Then lift your foot.
He walked into the house at a lightning speed.
When Gao Fang passed Qin Jiulie, he didn't dare to look at Qin Jiulie for even a second.
This scene is like a mouse seeing a cat.
Jiang Ning looked at him and smiled secretly.
Wait until it is high and then let it go.
Qin Jiulie's cold and majestic expression softened instantly.
Instead, there was a rare hint of embarrassment on his handsome face.
He walked to Jiang Ning's side and spoke gently.
"Wife, don't listen to what Gao Fang says. He is a man with a loose tongue."
Jiang Ning curled his eyes.
Asked with a smile.
"Then you will knead the dough and steam the buns later?"
Qin Jiulie's expression stiffened slightly.
He choked up and spoke slowly, "If you don't mind if the dumplings break and the fillings show, I can--"
I just said half of the sentence.
Jiang Ning held Qin Jiulie's hand affectionately.
The two of them intertwined their fingers.
Jiang Ning spoke softly and sweetly.
"Honey, there are always some things you don't know. If I do everything perfectly, it would make me seem useless. So from now on, you should listen to me and let me do everything in the kitchen. As for the rest, you should listen to me and be responsible for it. Is that okay?"
"Uh-huh!"
Qin Jiulie's somewhat tense heart was instantly soothed by Jiang Ning's words!
He nodded heavily.
His wife is becoming more and more likable.
Not just like, but love!
and……
For everything else, listen to him.
Does that mean I can listen to him even in bed?
The man, who had just had a satisfying meal last night, couldn't help but start to daydream again.
…
In the small kitchen.
The three of them washed their hands and started to get busy.
Qin Jiulie was in charge of chopping the meat. As a man with great strength, he held the kitchen knife just like Jiang Ning held the needle and thread. His movements were smooth, clean and neat.
Gao Fang is responsible for kneading the dough.
He is a strong young man, and although he has learned the skill of kneading dough, he has mastered it about 80% of the time.
Use your wrist to push a large piece of dough outwards using the area under your thumb.
Then another one pulled back.
The dough was rolled back and forth, and soon became very chewy.
Jiang Ning found some clean white cotton cloth, rinsed it with water and wrung it out, then covered the kneaded dough with some moisture to prevent it from becoming too dry and cracking.
During this period.
Jiang Ning also cut some vegetables and mushrooms into small pieces.
Since it is a dumpling banquet, the dumpling fillings must be varied.
Cabbage and pork filling is essential
.
In addition, there are leeks and eggs, mushrooms and chicken, and vegetarian dishes of corn, carrots and mushrooms.
There are all kinds of flavors.
Jiang Ning mixed the minced meat Qin Jiulie had chopped with the diced vegetables she had chopped, and stirred them continuously with chopsticks.
During this period, some onion and ginger water should be added several times.
Although scallion and ginger water may seem simple, it is the key to making the dumpling filling more delicious.
A real finishing touch.
Onion and ginger water can not only remove the fishy smell in the meat filling, but also make the meat filling into a delicate gelatinous state.
The dumplings made in this way are fresh and juicy, fragrant but not greasy, tender but not woody.
When Jiang Ning finished doing all this.
Qin Jiulie has already started rolling out the dumpling wrappers.
He held a rolling pin in his hand and flattened a small dough with the palm of his hand, then turned the rolling pin with one hand and the dough with the other.
It only takes a few seconds.
A round dumpling skin is ready.
Moreover, the dumpling skin is thick in the middle and thin on both sides, which requires great skill.
Qin Jiulie rolled out more than a dozen dumpling wrappers in a row. Not only was his movement fast, but the dumpling wrappers he rolled out were also uniform in size and neat and tidy.
The man finally regained the face he had lost earlier.
He raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ning and asked.
"Wife, the dumpling wrappers I made are good, right?"
But I didn't expect it.
Before Jiang Ning could even open his mouth, Gao Fang spoke first.
Gao Fang said loudly, "Great! How can the dumpling wrappers rolled by Qin Tuan be bad? I think they are even better than those made by the chef in the kitchen!"
It would be better if we don’t mention the kitchen team.
When the cooking team was mentioned, Qin Jiulie's eyes instantly darkened again.
Gao Fang realized that something was wrong, so he immediately lowered his head to make dumplings.
A piece of dumpling skin, a spoonful of meat filling, and then press down with the base of both hands.
No need to worry about folding.
A round, plump dumpling is ready.
Even Jiang Ning was amazed by the craftsmanship.
After all, she was a southerner in this life or the previous one, and her skills in making noodles were only average.
Now we see Qin Jiulie and Gao Fang working in perfect harmony.
She said, "Okay, you all did a great job! The dumpling wrappers are big and round, and the dumplings are beautiful. I'll leave the dumpling-making to you, and I'll do the rest."
Qin Jiulie felt a little elated when he heard the praise from his wife.
only--
How come Gao Fang, who was standing next to him, was also praised?
Humph, I feel a little unhappy!
