After a good night's sleep, Ye Zhiqiu woke up at ten o'clock in the morning.
It was snowing lightly outside, but compared to the previous two days, it was nothing.
When Ye Zhiqiu came back to the living room after washing up in the kitchen, he was stunned because they were making dumplings.
"Grandson, come here quickly. Your dad can't even roll out the dough by himself. Come over and help."
"Oh, okay!"
Ye Zhiqiu agreed and went over to skillfully roll out the dough. Seeing several kinds of fillings, he asked curiously, "Mom, what are these fillings? Why do they look so strange to me?"
Wang Xiaolan said proudly, "One is stuffed with Spanish mackerel, cabbage and celery. This is a stuffing that a neighbor from Qingdao taught me. One is stuffed with shrimp, leeks and radish, and one is stuffed with bacon, Spanish mackerel and shrimp!"
Ye Zhiqiu's mouth twitched. He always felt that the filling was weird, a bit like dark cuisine!
However, the family was discussing which filling would be the most suitable, so he didn't want to pour cold water on it. After all, whether it tasted good or not, it was still meat, so there was no way he was going to waste it.
Ye Bailu asked with a smile: "Brother, which filling do you think is delicious?"
Ye Zhiqiu said without even looking up, "They're all delicious. Having dumplings to eat these days is a very happy thing!"
Putting aside all the meaning of dumplings, many people don’t know the obsession of the older generation!
Southerners won't understand the significance of dumplings to northerners. It's the obsession of only being able to eat meat during festivals!
Dumplings are not dumplings, they are a synonym for meat!
It was also at this time that this generation left behind such a deep memory!
Wang Fugui sighed, "Since we've started using pigs to pay off debts this year, pork is indeed in short supply. The requirements are very high there, and pork fat doesn't meet the standards."
Ye Zhiqiu frowned. He had heard about this incident in later generations. Some people whitewashed the situation and said there was no coercion.
Those people don't even understand nuclear...blackmail, yet they keep on advocating iron brotherhood.
My dear brother, sister!
We occupied your land, and when we had no mushrooms, we said we would bomb your entire territory. How could such a person say that he was iron?
If I weren't afraid of being censored, I would have wanted to explain this history in detail.
Ye Zhiqiu said helplessly: "Grandpa, I can't care about so many things. Let's just live our own lives."
Wang Fugui smiled and nodded. He knew very well that he should not just follow the crowd on many things. Without understanding the current world situation and the various targeting forces from all sides, he had no right to say too much!
When the dumplings were wrapped, it was already 11:40, and Ye Tianya accompanied Wang Xiaolan to cook the dumplings.
Ye Wubing sighed and said, "This extreme weather has delayed my study time. I have to catch up on my studies in the first half of next year..."
Ye Bailu asked curiously, "Second brother, didn't you prepare in advance? I've already prepared for the fourth grade courses."
Ye Wubing covered his face and said in great pain: "Little sister, please don't say anything. We all have the same father and mother. Please don't make me suffer so much. Studying is so difficult..."
Ye Zhiqiu almost laughed out loud. The second child was actually very good at studying, but compared to the younger sister, he seemed to be a little behind.
Of course, compared with Feng Xiaomei, the two of them are far inferior!
Wang Fugui watched the conversation between the brother and sister with a smile on his face. He was a little proud of himself. After all, Ye Bailu was such a good girl and he was the one who taught her.
It is quite quick to cook dumplings, especially when using a large pot so that you can cook more dumplings at once.
Everyone helped to get bowls and chopsticks, and there were also small plates for dipping sauce. Wang Fugui was helpless, because he ate dumplings with vinegar, but the Ye family didn't like vinegar.
So he has two separate dipping sauces, one with pure vinegar and the other with garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil.
Ye Zhiqiu scooped a few dumplings into the bowl. He picked up one with Spanish mackerel filling. Although the Spanish mackerel, celery and cabbage looked a bit strange, it tasted very delicious.
He pointed at the bowl of dumplings and exclaimed, "Wow! I thought this Spanish mackerel, celery, and cabbage filling was a little strange, but it tastes really good! Everyone, try it! This thing is really something special."
Wang Xiaolan said proudly, "I've only heard of Spanish mackerel stuffing before, but we've never tried it! So this morning I went out and found the person who claimed to be from Qingdao and married here, and asked her how to make Spanish mackerel stuffing."
After eating one, Ye Bailu gave Wang Xiaolan a thumbs-up and said, "Thank you, Mom. If you hadn't taught me how to make this filling, we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious dumplings!"
"My little sister is such a flatterer, her flattery is getting better and better!"
"Brother, you're talking nonsense. I just like to tell the truth!"
Seeing the two people bickering while still eating dumplings, everyone burst into laughter.
If you want to eat a full meal of dumplings, cooking them once is definitely not enough. The main reason is that they cool down quickly, so they are usually cooked in several batches. If you cook them all at once, the first batch will be completely cold.
After three rounds of eating, there were only a few dozen dumplings left, and everyone was finally full.
When I’m not working or going to school, I naturally go back to my room and take a nap.
Wang Fugui said to Ye Zhiqiu, "Grandson, since you don't have to go to work tomorrow, why don't you go out and do some work?"
Ye Zhiqiu asked in surprise, "No, Grandpa, what's wrong with you today? Aren't you particularly against me dealing in things?"
"Well, this time I want you to go trade in some vegetables. Didn't you say you know a lot of people who trade in things? Ask them to trade in some cabbages and radishes, and I'll get you a certificate!"
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Grandpa, what's going on? Are these vegetables being sold to help our company?"
Wang Fugui nodded and said, "Don't mention it. Our unit is very short of vegetables, so we need to get some from other places, but now the roads are blocked by heavy snow, so we can't get any more.
I was just thinking of seeing if anyone you know has any stock that they could bring to our company."
Ye Zhiqiu said with a helpless smile: "Grandpa, there is no road access now, so even if we have vegetables, we can't deliver them!"
Wang Fugui explained: "In fact, it is not needed in the past few days, but once the road is opened, it will take time for our company's vehicles to transport the goods back.
So after the road is open, I can go back to work and hold on for a few days while I go out to purchase things.”
"Grandpa, how much does that cost? I don't know how many vegetables I can get!"
Wang Fugui thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "I don't know the exact gap either. How about more, the better?"
Li Wubing had a lot of vegetables, including cabbage, white radish, and quite a few potatoes.
He can provide so many dishes, but can he really handle Wang Fugui?
Ye Zhiqiu felt that he had to be cautious, so he asked carefully: "Grandpa, how much do you think is appropriate? I'm afraid that if I don't get the amount right, something might go wrong. Bringing it in from outside also costs money..."
Wang Fugui nodded, thought for a moment, and replied, "How about getting a few thousand kilograms first? That amount shouldn't be a problem for those bastards who deal in stuff, right?"
