Su Qing saw that the fillings were all cut and ready to make dumplings. However, the kitchen was too narrow and could not hold so many dumplings.
It would be just right to lay a clean white cloth on the table in the main room to put the dumplings on.
"Grandma, we will go to the main room to make dumplings on the dining table later. The kitchen is small and there is no room to put the dumplings. We can only put a clean white cloth on the table to make enough space."
"Okay, I'll get ready right now."
Zhu Xiuyun nodded in agreement, returned to the main room, wiped off the dust on the desk, and found a clean cotton cloth to spread it.
Su Qing looked at Luo Cuilan again, "Grandma Meng, I'm going to make the meat filling. Please help me chop some chopped green onion and ginger, and chop it into as fine a piece as possible."
"Okay," a small job like chopping onions and ginger is not too easy for Luo Cuilan.
Su Qing put oil, salt, five-spice powder, soy sauce, and rice wine into the meat filling, beat in four eggs, added water and stir vigorously in one direction, continued to add water, continued to stir, then added Grandma Meng's chopped green onions and ginger, and put Continue stirring into the meat.
Luo Cuilan looked at her and put four eggs into the meat filling, marveling that Qingqing was really willing to give up things, but she didn't say anything. Xiuyun wanted to treat, which was probably Qingqing's intention.
Zhu Xiuyun has moved the chopping board, dry flour, and basins to the dining table in the main room. The table is covered with a piece of snow-white cotton cloth. It is very clean and has been sterilized in the ultraviolet machine.
Su Qing divided the mixed meat filling into four parts and placed them in a vegetable basin with cabbage, beans, radish and cabbage.
Blanch beans and radish, drain with gauze and chop into pieces.
Pickle the cabbage and cabbage with salt. After squeezing out the water, there is still half a pot left. It looks like a lot just after cutting it, but after removing the water, there is not much.
Su Qing felt that the dumplings must be just enough to eat. After all, there were about ten people.
Stir the vegetables and meat filling evenly, pour a little oil, add a little seasoning and salt to taste, continue to stir, mix one pot first, and put the seasoning in the remaining three pots without stirring. Cover with clean gauze.
After filling the bottom of the pot with firewood, Su Qing took a bowl of stuffing and walked to the main room to start making dumplings.
Meng Hang volunteered to roll the dough, so Grandma Meng had to continue to tie Meng Shuo behind her back and watch carefully how her grandson and Qingqing made dough, rolled out the dough, and stuffed the dough.
Sisters Zhu Xiuyun are experts at work. They can roll out dough in just a few or two times, which is better and faster than Meng Han. As for making dumplings, they can make a few dumplings in a decent way. No worse than Su Qingbao's.
Su Qingdu lamented that she had to learn for a long time before she could skillfully make dumplings. Sure enough, cooking also requires talent.
The two children rolled out the dough and the elder sister made the dumplings. They were both good at work and very fast. Su Qing told them that when they first started, try not to make too much stuffing, otherwise the dumplings would leak easily when cooking.
Soon a bowl of stuffing was finished, and little Meng Shuo had to pee in the middle. When Su Qing saw this scene, he was immediately scared and ran away.
Zhu Xiuyun knew that her granddaughter loved to be clean, so she quickly took out the paper towel, wiped it clean, and threw it outside far away. Luo Cuilan changed Meng Shuo's shit ring and asked Meng Hang to look at her brother on the bed.
The two elder sisters used soap to wash their hands carefully, opened the doors and windows to let in the smell, and said with a smile that when the child was young, the one who didn't urinate would urinate on an adult more than once or twice, and Qingqing was actually scared away.
Meng Hang didn't care. He looked at his little brother with his mouth wide open and babbling cutely, as if he was saying, why did sister run away?
The blank expression in his eyes made him laugh very ungratefully. Qingqing was also afraid of something, not just shit and urine.
Su Qing ran into the kitchen to see how the meat was stewing in the pot, and filled it with firewood.
After this wood is burned, the braised pork will be cooked, ha! ! She could finally eat braised pork. In the past, she had no ability to make money. She only ate meat once in a while, and she couldn't make it into a luxurious stew. Now she could finally satisfy her craving.
Mix a pot of stuffing and take it to the main room to continue making dumplings.
A child can't control urination. It's not that she dislikes it, but that she's experiencing mysophobia.
When Su Qing was a child, she served many children in the orphanage, and she felt a little disgusted when she was asked to urinate on them. Children are very cute, but sometimes they can also be annoying little devils.
In the orphanage, the older children took care of the younger ones, wiping their butts and cleaning up their urine and feces. Su Qing didn't know how many times he had done this.
But she was born with some mysophobia. Although the environment did not allow it, the torture in her heart made her even more uncomfortable.
So when she saw Grandma Meng changing Meng Shuo's diaper, she took the opportunity to run away.
By the time she returned to the house, Meng Shuo was already lying on her back and babbling. He even stared at Su Qing, saying, "What were you running for just now?"
Su Qing looked calm and continued making dumplings as if nothing happened.
When the second pot of dumplings was filled, the braised pork was cooked and ready to be taken out of the pot. Su Qing ran to the kitchen to serve it out, while Luo Cuilan winked at the old girl.
Just as Su Qing took out the meat, Zhu Xiuyun came in.
Looking at the two large pots of meat, she didn't say anything. She found the paper bag she usually packed with food and put away two of the cold pig's trotters and one of the pork knuckles, leaving only two pieces of meat.
"Grandma, why are you pretending? There won't be enough for us to eat later."
"You silly girl, you really plan to make half a pig in one day. Calculate how much you have made, braised pork and pork ribs, pig's trotters, pork knuckles, and pork cubes. I'll finish them all tonight. , if you want to eat again, do you still have to spend money to buy it?
Qingqing, you said you would treat everyone to a meal. I have no objection. But if you make the dumplings, you will need ten kilograms of energy flour, four kilograms of meat, more than 20 kilograms of energy vegetables, plus stewed meat. Do you want your second uncle to make the dumplings? After Grandma Meng’s family ate, did she think about how to repay our family every day?
You have made money, I know, but others don’t know, and you can’t go around talking nonsense. You often say you are low-key, but why are you so high-profile today? Although they are all relatives and friends, I dare say that if you serve all the meat to everyone tonight Serve it on the table. Don’t even think about keeping a low profile in the future. After everyone eats it, you know what they are thinking.
What is the standard of living in Shanquan Village? You also know that this is not Mingyue City. You haven't changed your mind yet. It's normal for me to put away half of it. This is already beyond the limit of treating guests. "
Zhu Xiuyun said as he took out half of the braised pork and spareribs.
Ever since Su Qing went to school, Zhu Xiuyun knew that she was precocious and rarely scolded her. The child was sensible and would not do anything outrageous. But this time, she went too far in buying meat and treating guests to dinner.
Su Qing was stunned. She didn't expect grandma to blame her, but when she thought about it, grandma was right. Shanquan Village is not Mingyue City, and the consumption is very different.
People in the village can't eat pork a few times throughout the year. Although every family raises pigs and chickens, they can still eat energy vegetables regularly. Energy flour is basically only eaten a few times during the New Year and festivals. Big pots of stew are definitely rarely eaten.
Su Qing spent a lot of money buying half a pig as a treat as soon as he returned home. This was not in line with the living conditions of the village. If word spread, it would definitely cause a sensation.
"Grandma, I was wrong. I am used to spending money in Mingyue City. A hundred thousand dollars is just small money in my eyes. I didn't expect that a few thousand interstellar coins would be unacceptable to the people in the village. The consumption levels in the two places are not at all On a horizontal level, I didn’t consider everything comprehensively,”
When Zhu Xiuyun heard what she said, her heart was pounding. A hundred thousand yuan was a small amount of money. She felt a little dizzy. What kind of life did her granddaughter live in Mingyue City? Did she work hard to make delicacies from the mountains and seas every day?
"Okay, as long as you know, it's enough to treat everyone to a meal with just dumplings. You also stewed a lot of meat. Since everyone knows there is stewed meat, I will put away most of it and leave a portion for everyone to try. You still want to take care of it enough, even if you want to, no one will be willing to use their chopsticks."
"I know, whatever you do is up to you."
