Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 10 Dumplings

Holding the bunch of keys in her hand, Yuan Shi walked briskly towards the warehouse. In the Yang family, the warehouse can be regarded as the most important place. Why?Because the food and supplies bought by the Yang family are all placed in the warehouse, so the importance of the warehouse can be said to be self-evident.

Standing at the door, Mrs. Yang picked up the key in her hand, rubbed it against the lock in front of her, and the lock broke with a sound. Mrs. Yuan took the heavy chain from the door and put it aside. The prepared oil lamp was lit with a torch, and then the torch was blown out and put away. The dark space of the warehouse suddenly appeared bright, and the light yellow light shone on Yuan's face, adding a layer of charming aura.

Yuan shi took cautious steps, and carefully avoided the obstacles one after another in front of her. In addition to food, the warehouse also had some agricultural tools here, so the not-so-large place seemed very crowded. Yuan shi looked to the left. Looking to the right, I finally found a white cloth bag tied with a knot in the corner on the right.

Yuan Shi put the oil lamp in his hand on the counter not far away, and took out a small wooden basin from the counter.Reaching out to unbutton the bag.He took out the white porcelain bowl in the bag and started scooping up the noodles.After scooping up a little more than four bowls, Yuan felt that it was enough, so she tied the bag again, turned around and left the warehouse with the oil lamp in hand.

When Yuan Shi came to the kitchen with the flour, Gu Shi had already started to chop the round vegetables dug back in Spring and Autumn, chopped the vegetables into fine pieces, and then put them in a basin on the side. When Gu Shi saw Yuan Shi coming in, Asked, "Siblings, where did you find this round dish?" Mrs. Gu was taken aback when she saw the round dish, but she didn't expect it to still be there at this time. You must know that dumplings made with round cabbage are the best.

"It's picked in Spring and Autumn, and it's in the back mountain." When Yuan Shi heard the other party ask about the cabbage, she said with a smile. It is no surprise that mountains can grow cabbages.

"Not to mention, Qiu'er is quite powerful." Mrs. Gu sighed while chopping vegetables.

Yuan Shi laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't praise her, she's just a little glutton, otherwise she wouldn't know how to dig." Yuan Shi thought of her daughter's serious appearance in the morning, looking like a snack.

"Hehe" Gu Shi laughed, "Same as Hua'er, two gluttonous little girls" said about her daughter, Gu Shi also smiled unconsciously, not to mention, Gu Shi is also strange when it comes to this, the two sisters It's really like eating.

"So they're real sisters?" Yuan's face was bright, "That's right" Yuan's reaction came when she came back, those children were gone when she came back, "Sister-in-law, do you know where they went to play? There is no entrance to the main house?" Yuan was a little puzzled, now that it was getting dark, where could those children go.

"I'm going to share the candy," Gu said casually, "Brother Ming'er and Brother Jun'er came back and bought candy, and they are standing in the west room to share." When Gu came out, he saw the crowd of children, They ran like monkeys one by one.

"No wonder, I said, why are people gone?" Yuan Shi nodded.

"Sister-in-law, you cut it first, I'll go and get the meat back from the backyard," Yuan Shi said to Gu Shi.

"Let's go," Gu agreed.

. . . . .

The study in the west room on the other side is exactly the place that Mrs. Gu cut out for Yang Chunjun to study. Yang Chunming also has a study room, but it is behind the main house and next to Mrs. Yuan's.

Because Yang Chunjun said he was going to give out candy, Yang Chunming followed him, so in this small room less than 10 square meters in front of him, all the children except the adults of the Yang family were present.

Yang Chunming and Yang Chunjun are the main ones, and the rest are from Yang Chunni to Xiaoshitou, arranged in order according to size. Chunqiu stands next to Chunhua, and Xiaoshitou is on the far right. There is no way, who made her grow small.

Chunqiu and the others were like soldiers being paraded, staring at the candies in Yang Chunjun's hands, each one shining brightly, like hungry wolves who hadn't eaten for several days.

Commander Yang Chun is very similar to Mrs. Gu. Although he is not as handsome as his second brother, he is still a dignified young lady.

Chunqiu is still very satisfied with their Yang family's genes, the children are all good-looking, especially herself!Chunqiu shamelessly sighed at himself.

At this time, Yang Chunjun didn't think so much about Chunqiu, but looking at the group of children in front of him, the corners of his mouth still twitched uncontrollably. This is so much that he has never eaten candy. He obviously remembered that he had eaten it half a month ago Bought it for them!
He opened the small bulging pocket in his hand, reached out and grabbed a handful of candy, and put it in Yang Chunni's hand. After getting a shy "Thank you, brother" from the elder sister, Yang Chunjun walked to the next one in satisfaction.

"Yang Chuncai, what are you doing?" Yang Chunjun looked at the third younger brother who was staring straight at him, his forehead twitched uncontrollably. His younger brother has a tiger head and brain, and the name Huzi really suits him.

"Big brother, I didn't do anything." Huzi was frightened by his big brother suddenly, and explained quickly, because he was nervous and stuttered.

"Here." Yang Chunjun helplessly put the candy in his hand, and then walked down.

When it was Chunqiu, Chunqiu opened his big bright eyes, and said flatteringly, "Brother, give me a little more?"

Yang Chunjun was overjoyed by his third sister's obsession, and directly showed that he grabbed two handfuls of candies and put them in Chunqiu's hands. Chunqiu smiled and put the candies in his pocket.

When Yang Chunjun finished distributing the candy and everyone dispersed, Chunhua sneaked up to Chunqiu, "Let's change it?" Chunhua held the candy in his hand and wanted to exchange it with Chunqiu.

"Okay, okay, I like sweet ones." Chunqiu nodded in agreement.The candy in her hand was a bit too sweet, and she didn't like it either.

After the two exchanged happily, they ran out to play.

When old man Yang and the others came back, dinner was almost ready.

"Why is it so fragrant?" Old man Yang stood at the door, sniffing vigorously, and shouted loudly.

"Grandfather, it's dumplings." Chunqiu squatted under the tree and replied.

"That's really delicious, I'm just hungry," the uncle said with a smile.

"Dumplings are ready, let's eat quickly." Mrs. Yang and Li walked out of the kitchen and shouted to everyone at the door.

After Chunqiu and the others heard this, they immediately ran to the lobby without looking back, washed their hands well, and finished in one go.

Yuan Shi was holding the freshly cooked dumplings with a smile on her face. Taking advantage of the steaming hot dumplings being steamed, she took them out of the pot, and the room was filled with fragrance.

"It's really fragrant, really fragrant." Even the dull uncle is full of smiles.

"Then eat more, there are a lot of dumplings." Yuan Shi said with a smile, because he was worried that the dumplings would not be enough for everyone in the Yang family, so the three of them, Yang Li Shi, Gu Shi and Yuan Shi, made all the noodles for two. All the curtain dumplings were steamed.

Everyone in the Yang family looked at the round dumplings in the wooden basin, and they couldn't wait to pick them up and eat them with chopsticks. Children like Huzi just grabbed them with their hands. Unable to bear the look of wanting to eat, Chunqiu reached out and picked up a dumpling and put it in his own bowl. After dipping it in the vinegar in the bowl, he took a small bite carefully with the heat. Not to mention, the taste of the dumpling was really delicious. Nothing to say, can perfectly combine the sweetness of cabbage and the aroma of pork, Chunqiu admires the craftsmanship of the Yuan family, her mother is really talented in cooking!She couldn't bear to let go of what she ate, hoo, it's really delicious!Chunqiu showed his signature smile.

At this moment, she raised her head and looked at the satisfied expressions of everyone around her. The appearance of wanting to swallow her tongue was deeply imprinted in Chunqiu's mind. I don't know when it started. After Chunqiu came here, Unknowingly, there were a lot of sincere smiles, and Chunqiu sighed in his heart, so this is what it feels like to be with his family.

By the time everyone had finished eating, the entire two curtains of dumplings were gone, and everyone's stomachs were round after eating.

Chunqiu blissfully squinted her little eyes and patted her belly, she was finally full today.
