There are various ways to wrap wontons. The "Yuanbao Wontons" mentioned by Yang are the most common wontons in Huaxi Village because they are beautiful, plump and easy to stack.
However, in fact, the wrapping methods of wontons vary from place to place, and some wrapping methods are very simple and crude, such as the "goldfish wontons" that Su Qingluan wants to teach his younger brother and sister.
After asking the two children to clean their hands, Su Qingluan casually picked up a piece of wonton wrapper that had just been cut and put it in the palm of her hand: "Wrap a little meat and cabbage filling in the middle, and use this little meat filling as a 'goldfish head'." 'Pinch it,' Su Qingluan clasped her thumb and index finger tightly, and the remaining dough that was not pinched naturally spread out and turned into a "goldfish tail" shape.
Su Qingluan pointed at the ravioli that looked very simple and crude: "How about it? Isn't this method of wrapping wontons simple?"
Yang was dumbfounded: "Isn't it easy to put this kind of thing together?"
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "As long as you make enough for tomorrow morning, we'll make Yuanbao wontons for the rest." If thrown outside in the ice and snow, the wontons won't go bad for a few days. And because it’s been snowing lightly these past few days, this thin crust of snow on the surface will be resolved as well.
As for whether the falling snow is dirty or not, there is no need to worry about it - there is no industrial pollution in this era, not to mention that there have been sporadic light snows or snow showers in the past few days, and the air at this time is so good. Very, the snow is as white as glutinous rice flour, and there is no trace of the gray or even black snowfall in the modern industrial era.
Yang thought about it and it was right, so she said nothing more. Unexpectedly, the two children were unhappy. They felt that this "Goldfish Wonton" was too simple and not challenging. Su Xuanhe even said angrily: "Sister, do you look down on us?"
Su Qingluan sneered: "Hey, you said you are fat and you are breathless? Even though these goldfish wontons are simple, you are really capable if you can wrap them beautifully and tightly."
"What's so difficult about this?" Su Xuanhe said unconvinced, "I can figure it out as soon as I see it!" As he said that, he took a small spoon and scooped out a little meat filling and put it in the center of the dough, trying to imitate Su Qingluan's recipe. Pinch it with your index finger and thumb, and a goldfish will be compact in the middle and spread out around it.
But the imagination is full and the reality is very skinny. Su Xuanhe spread his hands confidently and was dumbfounded.
Su Xueyan laughed and clapped her hands beside her: "Brother, your wontons don't look like goldfish at all, they look like big nails hahahaha!"
"Hmph, you laugh so loudly, maybe your bag is uglier than mine!" Su Xuanhe snorted unconvinced, and then angrily threw the "big nail" onto the panel, making a muffled "poof" sound .
Then, as if he was still a little unwilling, he pulled at the "goldfish tail" part, trying to make it more beautiful.
Su Qingluan knew at a glance that when he pinched the "goldfish head", he accidentally held the other three fingers together except the index finger, so the "fish tail" that was originally loose was clenched. A vertically long "noodle" is made. The second reason is that the wontons don't look good. The most important thing is that the noodles are balled up and will easily get cooked when cooked tomorrow.
"You have to change this, otherwise it won't be cooked tomorrow and your stomach will be in trouble." Su Qingluan said, flattening the tail of the fish with a spoon, and twisting it with his thumb and index finger, and it became something else. A kind of "goldfish tail" look, although it is different from the previous one, it is equally beautiful.
At this time, Su Xueyan also brought a wonton over as if offering a treasure: "Sister, do you think I can wrap it better than brother?" In fact, the little girl originally thought that "little goldfish" was too simple, but after seeing My brother was frustrated and knew that the seemingly simple goldfish wontons were not that simple, so he became more cautious.
What's more, the goldfish-shaped wontons are also very beautiful, and the little girl wrapped them very carefully.
Su Qingluan looked over and saw that although her sister's wontons had too much filling, which made them feel "top-heavy", overall they were pretty good - at least they were better-looking than Su Xuanhe's.
So she smiled and nodded: "We Xueyan are so smart!"
Su Xueyan immediately looked proudly at her brother who was fuming on the side, and received Su Xuanhe's look of "wait for me".
With the two little guys in various situations as "sideshows", the wontons were almost ready in no time.
Su Qingluan quickly urged her younger brothers and sisters to go to bed quickly: "I will go fishing tomorrow morning. If you don't want to go with me, then just work here slowly!"
Although they don't quite know what "sheep grinding" means, it doesn't prevent the two little guys from understanding what sister means. So one or two of them wash up faster than anyone else, and get into bed quicker than anyone else.
Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I heard what happened today, but these two are still so playful and not afraid." Not to mention that the brother and sister were already talking about it when they were sent home by Su Qingluan. Ba Gu told what happened today. Even from the villagers nearby, Su Guangfu and Yang also heard about today's dangerous situation and Su Qingluan's "feat".
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "The two of them were not in danger today. Instead, they behaved very obediently and participated in saving people. They must be very proud."
"Just pamper them," Su Guangfu sighed, "It feels like the quarrel between these two has become more serious recently."
Su Qingluan also understood that Su Guangfu was afraid that his younger brother would develop a temperamental attitude, but she had a different idea. In his opinion, children should not judge right from wrong based only on their age, but who has the final say. .
Of course, Su Qingluan would not express this idea directly. He only said: "As long as there are no fights, it is normal for children to make noises. Dad doesn't have to worry too much. As for the safety issue on the ice, I will take care of it." Their."
Yang nodded: "We can rest assured that you are here, but you should go and have a rest. We will be tired all day long when we go fishing with two little ones tomorrow."
Su Qingluan shook his head: "There are very few opportunities to go out in winter, so it's good to go out and relax, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to stay in the house." Then he looked at Su Guangfu, "Dad, those nail shoes... "
"Don't worry, you can see a new pair tomorrow morning!" Su Guangfu said helplessly and dotingly.
"Thank you, Dad!" Su Qingluan said happily, and then went back to her room to rest.
After eating a steaming bowl of wontons in clear soup on the second day, Su Qingluan took her younger brothers and sisters out.
Still using the same equipment and the same location, Su Qingluan and his younger brothers and sisters continued to fish with a fishing net - although this fishing net was not big, the quality was indeed good. Yesterday, it was pulled hard like a "life-saving rope", but there was no damage except for some deformation - only some meshes were deformed, and there may be smaller "fish slipping through the net".
However, Su Qingluan didn't want to catch small fish and shrimps, but went for the big fish, so the fishing net could still be used.
