Zhao Mei followed Su Qing's instructions, mashed two eggs and mixed them into leeks to make a vegetarian filling.
Half of the leeks are made into vegetarian food, and half are made into meat. Her daughter said that she wants to eat dumplings with different flavors. The large dining table is filled with vegetable pots.
If Su Qing hadn't come, Zhao Mei would have made some lunch at will, which would have been so troublesome every day.
I had a guest come to my house today. My son and daughter were at home on vacation, so I had time to learn how to make dumplings. With Su Qing’s help, everything was ready.
Despite Su Qing's young age and her low and nimble hands, Zhao Mei felt no barrier when chatting with her. This child was too precocious, otherwise her husband would always say that Qing Qing was extraordinarily smart and not like a child at all.
Finally, I have prepared all the dumpling fillings and can start making dumplings.
Su Qing said: "The vegetarian stuffing and the meat stuffing should be wrapped separately. The vegetarian stuffing is easy to make soup. Let's wrap the leek stuffing first!"
Zhao Mei nodded and shouted into the living room, "It's time to make dumplings. Come and help."
Meng Hang and Yang Xue ran into the kitchen and came to help enthusiastically.
Meng Hang became more and more proficient in rolling out the dumpling skins. He rolled the dumpling skins quickly and roundly. Zhao Mei praised him so much that he almost couldn't find Bei.
Su Qing is responsible for teaching Zhao Mei and her daughter how to make dumplings.
Women are talented at cooking. Su Qing just demonstrated it once. The mother and daughter learned very well, especially Zhao Mei who has been doing housework for many years. She knows it with just two glances.
Not long after, Meng Hang could no longer supply enough dough for three people. Su Qing hurriedly took over the rolling, and Meng Hang assisted in making dough and flattening it, and the speed increased.
As pots of fillings were packed, the table was filled with fat and white dumplings.
Yang Xue swallowed her saliva and said, "Mom, the dumplings I make myself must be more delicious."
Everyone laughed, and Su Qing said:
"Grandma Zhao, you can customize a round curtain for dumplings. Wrap the curtain and put it aside. It saves space and avoids occupying the dining table."
Zhao Mei responded and kept marveling in her heart. Su Qing really impressed her today. She knew everything at a young age. She was good at everything except for the height restriction. However, her daughter was more pampered.
When the last dumpling was finished, Yang Xue cheered, "It's done, now you can cook the dumplings."
"Okay, little greedy cat, you go to the living room and wait while I sit on the pot."
Zhao Mei sat on two pots at once, so that two pots of dumplings could be cooked at the same time. With so many people in the family, one pot after another would be too slow to serve.
Su Qing asked Meng Hang to clean all the basins and chopsticks while she wiped down the dining table.
While Zhao Mei was making water, she saw two children cleaning the dining table, and Meng Hang was washing the basin. He hurriedly snatched it over and started doing it himself, saying angrily:
"Qingqing, Meng Hang, you can go to the living room and have a rest. Just leave the kitchen to me. Don't worry, I don't know how to cook dumplings."
Meng Hang couldn't help, so he had to sit in the living room. Su Qing insisted on staying and helping cook the dumplings. Zhao Mei couldn't persuade her, so she had to let her go.
Su Qing taught Zhao Mei how to make dumplings. She had to stir the pot from time to time and wait for the pot to boil before adding cold water.
The two pots were cooked together, and more than 100 dumplings were made at one time. The dumplings were cooked and were about to be taken out of the pot.
While Zhao Mei was fishing for dumplings, she ordered Yang Xue,
"Xiaoxue, go ask your grandparents to come up for dinner, and let your brother look at the store first,"
In the Yang family's lunch, the old couple always eats first, then replaces the daughter-in-law.
Yang Xue agreed and ran downstairs. After a while, Yang Xue and her grandparents came up.
Su Qing and Meng Hang have already set out the dishes and prepared the vinegar sauce.
Grandpa Yang saw Su Qing and Meng Hang busy and said politely:
"You are Su Qing and Meng Hang. You sit down and wait for dinner. Stop being busy. How can you let the guests work? Xiaoxue, go help your mother."
Su Qingmengxu greeted Grandpa Yang politely.
"Hello, Grandpa, we are all members of the same family. What kind of guests are they? How do you like the dumplings?"
The old couple of the Yang family sat down with smiles. Meng Hang was very discerning. Seeing Zhao Mei fish out a basin of dumplings, he immediately went over and brought it to the dining table. Yang Xue followed closely and brought another basin.
I brought the last pot of Zhaomei over and put it on the table.
"Dad, Su Qing and Meng Hang may have done it. I have never made dumplings. I rely on the help of my two children. They are always competing to do the work, unlike our Xiaoxue who is always talking about eating."
Yang Xue refused and said angrily: "Mom, I don't have any, I will also help make dumplings.".
"Hahaha," everyone laughed,
"You all hurry up and eat while it's hot. I'm cooking two pots. Su Qing and Meng Hang, you're welcome, just treat it as your own!"
Zhao Mei put half of the dumplings left on the table into the pot. Meng Hang went back and forth to help. Yang Xue couldn't just watch, but it was unhelpful and threw it directly into the pot. She almost got scalded by the boiling water. Zhao Mei didn't dare to Use her.
"Come on, my daughter, you are not made for working. Hurry up and eat. I will finish this work in a while. Meng Hang will also go and eat dumplings. Look at me, my wife is still waiting for you."
Su Qing told the two elders how to eat dumplings. Seeing Yang Xuemengxing come back, Grandpa Yang smiled and said, "
"We all sat down to eat the dumplings. Qingqing said that the dumplings fresh out of the pot tend to stick to each other, so you need to shake the basin while eating."
After saying that, the old man shook the basin twice to make the dumplings inside move a few times, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a dumpling and put it into the bowl.
Yang Xue greeted Su Qing and Mengxang, and he couldn't wait to start eating. He cooked a pot of vegetarian stuffing, a pot of meat stuffing, cabbage, leeks, beans, and celery, and mixed the four flavors together.
You can eat all kinds of fillings, and each one is very delicious.
Su Qing ate slowly and was very particular about table manners, but Meng Hang was not polite. He felt that the dumplings were more delicious than the previous two times. Sure enough, it was more delicious when there were more people.
The Yang family, both of whom have gentle personalities, cheerfully encouraged them to eat more. They also thought the dumplings were delicious, especially the ones filled with chives.
Yang Xue repeatedly exclaimed, "I didn't expect that flat vegetables made into dumplings would be so delicious."
Meng Hang nodded vigorously without saying a word, and ate as hard as he could. The first pot of dumplings was almost eaten, and the second pot was just cooked.
Meng Hang took the empty basin and Zhao Mei fished it out. Meng Hang and Yang Xue rushed to bring it to the dining table.
Su Qing didn't rush to work, and she didn't give way to Zhao Mei. After all, she looked very young. Meng Hang and Yang Xue were both in their teens and looked more reliable than her.
There were more than fifty dumplings left that were not cooked yet. Zhao Mei planned to leave them to Yang Wei and cook them when he came.
"Dad, Mom, this is my first time making dumplings. What do you think of the taste?"
"It's delicious. The food in Qingqing's hometown is very unique. If we open a dumpling shop, the business will definitely be good."
"No, it's just that the price is not low. Vegetables, meat and noodles are all energy ingredients, and most people can't afford them."
Su Qing thought that she could teach Uncle Zhang Cheng how to make dumplings and add a special product to his restaurant.
"Grandma Zhao, you have worked hard for a long time. Come and eat dumplings."
Yang Xue also asked her mother to eat quickly. Zhao Mei originally wanted to clean the pot first, but when everyone called her, she sat down to eat first. Yang Xue made several leek dumplings for her.
"Mom, try it. I think leeks are particularly delicious."
Zhao Mei smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll pick it up myself and you guys can eat it too,"
The Yang couple were older and didn't have particularly good appetites. The dumplings were still fresh, so they ate a few more bites, and even after eating 20, they didn't even move their chopsticks.
"Mei Zi, your dad and I are full. Let's go down to the store and ask Yang Wei to come up and eat."
"Okay," Zhao Mei didn't expect the old couple to be full so quickly. She got up and started cooking the dumplings again. Su Qing kicked Meng Hang as she was about to continue cooking dumplings.
Meng Hang looked at her blankly, and Su Qing whispered: "Go and help, cook the dumplings, and just eat them."
Meng Hang nodded, stood up, picked up a few dumplings, helped throw them into the pot, and said:
"Grandma Zhao, hurry up and go eat. You have been busy for a long time. Leave this pot of dumplings to me. I am very good at cooking dumplings."
