Chapter 181 New Year's Eve ([-]) ([-] more)
Qiaoyun cleaned up the kitchen before going back to the house to rest.The New Year's Eve dinner was eaten early, and it was only mid-hour, and there was still a long time before midnight.It's just making dumplings at night, the meat stuffing has already been chopped out, and later I just need to make dumplings with noodles and vegetables.It doesn't take much time to eat dumplings for three people.

Qiaoyun went back to the west room to rest, while Yuan Qinglei led Xiao Shitou and the other two in the kitchen to take a bath.There was a fire burning at the bottom of the two pans in the kitchen, and the stove was running all the time, so it was very warm.Yuan Qinglei and Xiaoshitou moved the big wooden bucket into the kitchen, after a busy meal, they took a shower and changed their clothes.

The two of them cleaned up the kitchen after taking a shower, Qiaoyun took the cabbage and radish, and went to the kitchen to chop vegetables for making dumplings.Afraid of tiring Qiaoyun, Yuan Qinglei hurried over to help.He was very strong, and he was chopping with a clink of a kitchen knife. It didn't take long for the vegetable stuffing to be chopped.

Yuan Qinglei chopped stuffing, and Qiao Yun took advantage of this time to make noodles.In fact, there are very few fine white noodles in this era, and there is a part of bran mixed in the general white noodles.The main reason is that the wheat is not easy to separate from the wheat bran during the grinding process, so a part of the wheat bran must be mixed in more or less.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no good flour.The high-quality fine white noodles are all processed through some processes, and the price is much higher than ordinary ones, so most people will not buy them.What the weaving workshop distributes to the workers is also white flour with a part of wheat bran, which can be used to steam steamed buns, but it is not so white.

The flour for this dumpling was bought by Yuan Qinglei from the grain store in the town. It is white and delicate, and it looks almost the same as Qiaoyun's previous life.However, in order to make the dumpling skin more resistant to cooking and not easy to break, Qiaoyun added eggs and a little salt to it when kneading the noodles.

Qiaoyun reconciled the noodles here, and put the curtain covered with straw on the kang to wake up. At this time, Yuan Qinglei at the other end of the kitchen also chopped the vegetable stuffing.

Cabbage is easy to get water when making stuffing, so it needs to be squeezed to squeeze out all the water.The radishes are wiped out with a wiper board in advance and cooked, and they should be slightly squeezed after being chopped.Then mix the two kinds of vegetable fillings with the meat fillings that have been chopped and seasoned, so that dumplings can be prepared.

Northerners love to work on the kang, especially when making dumplings. Those old ladies would sit cross-legged on the kang, making dough, rolling out cakes, and making dumplings.Qiaoyun couldn't escape the custom, so she put the panel on the kang, put the basin and dumpling stuffing on the panel, and took a rectangular curtain for the dumplings.

This kind of curtain is made of sorghum stalks nailed together. There is a smooth skin on the outside of the sorghum stalks, which is not easy to get dirty.The curtain made of this can be used to cover various tanks and basins, and can also be used to store things.Especially when making dumplings or steamed stuffed buns, put them on top, and ventilate underneath, so as not to get all of them on top.

Of course, Yuan Qinglei would not nail this kind of curtains, these were all sent by the villagers.Yuan Qinglei is very popular in the village, and he will go to help other people's homes if they have problems.People don't have anything good to thank him, so they send some home-made curtains, or some brooms and brooms, etc., which are things that cannot be lost in life.

Yuan Qinglei really didn't know how to make dumplings, so Qiaoyun had to do it alone.Fortunately, the three of them didn't need too many dumplings, and Qiaoyun worked quickly, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"Brother, go find a few pieces of candy, some jujubes, and some silver coins or small silver coins. I'll wrap them in dumplings." Qiao Yun turned to Yuan Qinglei and said.

This is usually the case during Chinese New Year. Putting sugar, jujubes, money, etc. in dumplings is also a way to make it auspicious and lively, and most of the time it is to coax children.Sometimes, there is a new daughter-in-law at home, or someone who is studying for the imperial examination, and they will wrap peanuts in the dumplings.

Yuan Qinglei is not from here, so he still doesn't know much about this, but since Qiaoyun said it, of course he will do it.So Yuan Qinglei went to find a few jujubes and a few small silver curlies, washed them twice with hot water, and then brought them here.

Qiaoyun cut the jujube into small pieces with a knife, and cut the sugar, otherwise it would be too big, and it would be easy to see when it was wrapped in dumplings, and it would easily break the dumpling skin.As for the silver curly, it is estimated that Yuan Qinglei went to the bank to find someone to exchange for it. They are all eight-point plum blossom curds, which are so small that they can't be seen in the dumplings.

After preparing these, Qiaoyun started making dumplings. She moved very quickly, rolling out cakes and making dumplings very neatly. Yuan Qinglei didn't even see the specific steps clearly, and Qiaoyun made quite a few dumplings. "Sister, slow down, I want to see what you did." Yuan Qinglei shouted hastily.

Qiaoyun smiled, "Brother, I can't slow down. If I slow down, I won't be able to make dumplings. You'd better not learn this, you are already good at cooking. If you learn how to make dumplings again, what will you ask your future sister-in-law to do? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for others to compare with you?"

Yuan Qinglei is already good enough, a big man is good at cooking, this really surprised Qiao Yun.In this day and age, most people follow the idea that a gentleman stays away from cooking, and men rarely know how to cook, of course, restaurant cooks are an exception.Yuan Qinglei is obviously not a cook, he actually knows how to cook, which really surprised Qiao Yun.

After all, Qing Lei is still a young man under 20 years old, so he can't get rid of Qiao Yun's ridicule like this. "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't planned to talk about a daughter-in-law yet." He followed Chu Ruifeng since he was a child, and it was impossible for him to get married without his master's permission.Furthermore, the woman who can fall into his eyes has not yet appeared. He would rather not get married than wait for a woman who makes his heart beat.

Qiaoyun shrugged and didn't continue the topic, "Brother, didn't you buy a lot of melon seeds and peanuts? There seems to be frozen pears, right? Take some out and let's eat them later. We have to watch the New Year tonight, Little Shitou will be sleepy later, give him a frozen pear to wake him up."

Xiaoshi drank two glasses of wine during dinner and was a little confused.In addition, he is usually asleep at this time, and he is still young, so he really can't bear it.Sitting on the kang right now, just like that chick pecking at rice, nodding straight there.

Yuan Qinglei also saw Xiao Shitou's appearance, so he simply picked up Xiao Shitou, "Come on, let's set off fireworks with Master."

Xiao Shitou was sitting there with nothing to do, he was indeed sleepy, and when he heard that he was going out to set off fireworks, his eyes immediately widened.When his parents were there, he was too young to set off fireworks. When he grew up, his parents and uncles were gone.If it falls into the hands of Widow Qi, it would be nice to have a bite to eat, so why not let off fireworks?
Now when he heard about going out to set off fireworks, Xiao Shitou became energetic all of a sudden, and followed Yuan Qinglei out.
