After washing her hands, Qin Shuangshuang continued to grab the dough. When the chopping board could no longer be placed, she reached out to Shen Chenming and took the rolling pin.
He told him: "You go make the dumplings and I'll roll out the wrappers. It'll be faster this way."
"good!"
Shen Chenming moved the small footbath over, placed it on two low stools, and placed the wrapped dumplings one by one.
After all, it is food and cannot be placed on the ground.
Needless to say, he is really fast at making dumplings. He picks up a piece of dough, scoops out a spoonful of meat filling, and squeezes it with both hands.
Qin Shuangshuang smiled and joked: "If we have nothing to do in the future, it would be good to make dumplings and sell them. I am faster at rolling out the dough, and you are faster at making dumplings. If we cooperate seamlessly, business will definitely be good."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Chenming was startled, looked up at Qin Shuangshuang, and had an idea: "Girl! You make the dumpling fillings so well, can I tell my comrades this method?"
He was discharged from the army due to injury the year before last and was assigned to a fertilizer factory in their county. It was a very small factory. He had lost one of his legs and could not do heavy work. He could only watch the gate.
His wife divorced him, leaving behind a six-year-old daughter. My father originally had a retirement salary, but I heard that he passed away last year, leaving an old mother living with him without labor insurance.
Your dumpling fillings are well prepared. If he has nothing to do at night and sells them, he might be able to earn some extra money. "
Although Qin Shuangshuang didn't know who Shen Chenming's comrade was or what his name was, seeing how concerned he was and his heavy expression when speaking, he knew that the two had a good relationship in the past.
He would certainly not put himself in the shoes of ordinary people.
"Okay! If you want to give it to him, you can give it to him. If you have nothing to do tonight, I will write down the steps for preparing the dumpling filling step by step. He only needs to follow the steps."
The girl agreed so readily, Shen Chenming smiled, as if she was bathed in the spring breeze, and peach blossoms were blooming ten miles away.
Qin Shuangshuang was stunned again without paying attention, and even stopped the movement of his hands, almost dripping all over the floor. It wasn't until the man kissed her on the face that she came back to her senses.
"Girl! How obsessed are you with my face? Why do you go blank when you look at it? You've been looking at it for so many days and you still haven't seen enough?"
"Who makes you look so evil?"
Qin Shuangshuang murmured, blushing and lowering his head to continue rolling the dough. A man who is too good-looking will really delay things and make her half-hearted in her work.
It’s really not necessary.
But what can she do if she is just a face control person?
"Monster? Do I have one?" Shen Chenming looked at the little girl and corrected her, "I'm not called a monster, I'm called a righteous person."
Qin Shuangshuang lowered his head and was doing his own thing. He didn't want to discuss this topic with Shen Chenming. It was okay to say that he looked upright and upright.
He is a soldier, so he is naturally upright.
"With so many people coming at night, what should I do if there are not enough tables and chairs for dining? Who can I borrow them from?"
"Don't worry about this. I have already agreed with them that the two people coming to eat will not only bring their own bowls and chopsticks, but also tables, chairs and benches."
"What? Kekeke! Kekeke! Shen Chenming! You can think of it."
Qin Shuangshuang, who was laughing so happily that he couldn't even hold the rolling pin, immediately had a picture in his mind of many people carrying tables, chairs and benches to eat, and then carrying them away after eating.
The more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes.
Only people of this era can see such a scene. In the future, everyone wants to save face. Basically, they will not treat guests to dinner at home, but mostly in restaurants.
If you have more money, go to a big hotel. In a few years, all kinds of restaurants will open all over the streets.
Seeing the little girl smiling so happily, Shen Chenming also laughed: "What is this, I can't think of it.
They want to come for dinner. I don’t have enough tables at home. Isn’t it normal for them to bring them? It would be a big deal to let them take it back after eating. "
"Hahaha! You are awesome, you are awesome!" Qin Shuangshuang gave Shen Chenming a thumbs up, "I guess you are the only one who can speak so confidently. When people come to your place for a meal, they have to bring all the tables, chairs and benches at home. Come on. Hahaha! Why don’t you ask someone to bring the pot too?”
"We have a pot at home. If the pot is not enough, we can ask them to bring it."
Listening to Shen Chenming's serious words, Qin Shuangshuang slowly stopped laughing. How could she forget? When hosting a banquet in their hometown, they also borrowed tables, chairs, benches, washbasins, bowls and chopsticks from others.
People nowadays are like this. As long as it is suitable for the person hosting the banquet, they can take anything away.
When the things are done, return them one by one. She is also from the countryside, so she naturally knows this.
A family home is like a village. If someone wants to treat guests to a meal, those who can help will naturally help.
"Then we have to let people eat and drink well that night, so you should be more diligent in greeting them."
"I know." Shen Chenming quickly wrapped the dumplings, "I must treat them well. It's rare that I have a family and can treat them to a meal, so I must treat them warmly no matter what."
"The dumplings will be cooked in a while. You can send a box to the teacher. In order for you to eat comfortably, they won't even come to eat."
Qin Shuangshuang was afraid that Shen Chenming didn't know these people's sophistication, so he gave advice from the side.
"You are the one treating the guests. You can't just say nothing if someone doesn't come. That's not good."
Shen Chenming frowned slightly: "You still want to send dumplings to the teacher? Isn't this inappropriate? I called him, but he didn't come on his own."
"You, if he doesn't come, you are being polite. You give him a box of dumplings, which shows that you are thinking of him and have not forgotten him." Qin Shuangshuang looked at the straight man, "This is called courtesy and affection. Heavy."
"Oh! Okay! I'll be there later."
Why don't you just give me a box of dumplings? If there's any difficulty, he just needs to avoid people.
The aroma of the stewed meat in the pot gradually wafted out. Shen Chenming smelled it and felt that the little girl's cooking skills were really good.
He had eaten a lot of braised pork, but not many that smelled so good.
"Girl! I can guarantee that once you make this meal, your cooking skills will be talked about by your sisters-in-law in the future. The braised pork you make is really fragrant. I have never smelled so good."
Qin Shuangshuang raised her chin proudly: "That's right, my cooking skills are definitely not comparable to ordinary people, and you don't even know how willing I am to add condiments.
Most people don't know how to stir-fry the sugar color when making braised pork. They only cook it with soy sauce, and the color of the braised pork is not bright enough.
I put star anise and cinnamon in the meat. Those are essential things when cooking meat. Who would be willing to buy them? "
Shen Chenming disagreed with Qin Shuangshuang's statement: "Girl! They say you are fat and have asthma. It's not that people are reluctant to buy it, but they don't understand it at all.
That thing doesn't cost much, and it can last a long time if you buy one, so why would you want to part with it? I just don’t know how to use them, even my mother doesn’t know how to add them to braised pork. "
"Really?" Qin Shuangshuang looked at Shen Chenming in astonishment, "It's understandable that my mother is from a rural area and doesn't understand these things. My mother-in-law is from the capital, so how can she not understand this?"
