Several people took the dumplings on plates and took them to the kitchen. The second pot of dumplings was also cooked. In front of them, more than half of the dumplings in the hall were removed.
Su Qing thought, luckily the firewood pot at home was large enough to cook more than a hundred dumplings in one pot, otherwise the dumplings would have bottomed out within a short time of eating for 9 people.
She didn't eat hard, so she asked the elders to eat more first. It was estimated that all the dumplings would be cooked, which would be enough for everyone.
Su Qing and Meng Hang concentrated on eating dumplings. The men had already opened a bottle of wine, and each of them filled a glass and started drinking.
Cut the pig's trotters into pieces for each person. The pig's trotters are eaten with wine. The men enjoy chewing the bones. They drink a sip of wine and eat a mouthful of meat. They taste the dumplings by the way. Well, they are delicious.
Wang Qian was coaxing her children to play in the back room, while Meng Shuo always wanted to crawl out because there was something delicious outside.
Su Qing always ate politely at the dinner table. She didn't eat the pig's trotters, which was not much. She ate a few pieces of braised pork and ribs, and then started eating dumplings.
It seems that grandma is right. If all the meat is served, she will not be able to eat a few bites, and the host cannot compete with the guests.
Grandma put those away, enough for herself to eat happily, and she could also call Meng Hang,
The poor little fat man didn't even get a piece of the pig's trotter he had been thinking about for a long time. I don't know how depressed he felt.
He was sensible enough not to compete with the adults, but he made up his mind to pay attention and go back to Mingyue City to let Qingqing cook another pot and eat enough.
While Su Qing was eating dumplings, he did not forget to shake the dumpling basin to prevent the dumplings from getting stained.
Su Ping and Su An are not good at words and just keep eating. The dumplings are delicious, the braised pork is delicious, and the ribs are also delicious.
The bottom of the two large pots of dumplings soon came out. Just as the second pot of dumplings was coming out, Zhu Xiuyun brought it over.
Su Qing hurriedly went to help carry the second basin. She also wanted to help pick up the dumplings and put them into the pot, but was stopped by Wang Sanmei.
"Qingqing, don't get up. You are such a delicate girl. You haven't eaten much in a long time. You should hurry up and eat. Look at how much Meng Hang eats. Second Aunt is full. What's left? Just leave the work to me."
Wang Sanmei made room and went to the kitchen to tell Grandma Meng to eat quickly and leave the rest of the work to her.
Luo Cuilan declined and asked Zhu Xiuyun to eat first while she watched the pot cook the dumplings.
Zhu Xiuyun directly pulled her into the back room and pressed her on the stool.
"Sister Cuilan, I invited you to dinner, how can I let you eat last? Just sit down and eat quickly!"
Luo Cuilan could no longer refuse. This was not to invite someone to dinner. As a guest, you couldn't be the last person to serve the meal. Although the two of them had a good relationship, there was no need to be polite.
Yes, let her eat. It is estimated that after the third pot is cooked, grandson and Qingqing will be full and can make room.
She just sat down and ate the dumplings with peace of mind. Su Qing also used serving chopsticks to pick up two pieces of red meat for her. If she didn't eat it, it would be gone. It turned out that everyone was really rude when they saw something delicious.
"Qingqing, eat from you, I don't need you to take care of me,"
"Grandma Meng, eat quickly, otherwise all the braised pork will be eaten,"
"I know, eat quickly."
Su Qing was full after eating ten more dumplings. She immediately went into the back room and said to Wang Qian:
"Auntie, I'm looking at Meng Shuo, go and eat quickly,"
Wang Qian has been hungry for a long time, but she has an elder and a younger one, so she can only let the elders and children eat first, while she waits at the back.
If Su Qing could take her place and look after her younger son, she might be able to eat. The younger son has been having a tantrum.
"Qingqing, Meng Shuo is a little angry. Just watch him and don't fall. Auntie will come over right away after dinner."
"Auntie, go and eat quickly, I will keep an eye on Meng Shuo."
Su Qing climbed onto the bed and started to look at Meng Shuo eye-to-eye to see who could hold on. In the end, it was Meng Shuo who failed. He turned around and said, "I won't look at you."
Wang Qian opened the curtain, sat at the dining table and started eating dumplings. Except for the two children, it was the first time for everyone else to eat dumplings.
Wang Qian took the first bite and couldn't help but eat it. It was so fragrant. The meat and vegetables were mixed together. Pure water energy flour was mixed with the dough, rolled into a skin, wrapped in stuffing and cooked. Could it not be delicious?
A meal of dumplings made everyone feel richer than what they had eaten during the festival.
Meng Hang was eating dumplings. When he looked at the situation, Qingqing had already left the table. He also quickly threw two dumplings, stood up and said he was full.
Grandma Meng urged him, "Go to the kitchen and ask Grandma Zhu to come over for dinner. You can also cook dumplings. Come over and watch the pot."
"I understand, grandma, don't forget to shake the dumplings in the basin, otherwise they will get stained."
Meng Hang ran into the kitchen and said to Zhu Xiuyun:
"Grandma Zhu, go and eat quickly. I'll watch the pot and cook dumplings. Don't worry."
When Zhu Xiuyun saw that there was Wang Sanmei next to her, Meng Hang would definitely have no problem taking a look at the pot, so she nodded and said:
"Okay, let's watch the pot with your second grandma, and I'm going to eat dumplings."
Zhu Xiuyun sat down next to her elder sister. Luo Cuilan had already prepared dishes and chopsticks for her.
"Come on, I'll put some dumplings in a bowl for you. They'll be ready to eat when they're cold. The green-flavored filling is particularly fragrant."
As soon as the men get drunk, they eat slowly, and the women don't care. Women will not be disappointed when they are guests in other people's homes.
Not long after, the third pot of dumplings came out. The uneaten dumplings on the table were poured into the newly brought basin, and several people continued to eat.
Except for Zhu Xiuyun and Wang Qian, everyone else has almost eaten.
Men like the atmosphere of sitting together and chatting. Even when they are full and no one is waiting to be seated, they just keep sitting and talking nonsense.
When Zhu Xiuyun and Wang Qian were full, they were still chatting, and the five of them actually drank up two bottles of wine. As expected, all men have the same virtue, and they talk more after two sips of wine.
The women washed the cups, dishes, and chopsticks and put them away, wiped the table, and poured tea for everyone. The men continued to chat. Several people who were usually taciturn were noisy, each one louder than the other.
After Wang Qian helped clean up, she took her child home first. If she stayed any longer, Meng Shuo would lift the table and let everyone eat, but he didn't even touch the edge of the table. He felt very unhappy.
Grandma Meng didn't leave because she wanted to keep an eye on the old man and her son and bring them home when the time was right.
Zhu Xiuyun called Wang Sanmei and Luo Cuilan into the back room to chat, and gave the main room to a few men.
Meng Hang was in the West Room, reading the vacation plan written by Su Qing.
Get up early every day and go up the mountain, collect herbs and fight strange animals, practice Qigong for an hour in the afternoon, and then read a book to preview the next semester's courses.
Su Qing was afraid that during the two-month vacation, if Meng Hang really relaxed and had fun, he would probably forget all the things he had learned in a year.
She also has to give Meng Hang questions, guide him in reviewing, previewing homework, and completing holiday homework. The teacher in each subject assigns some homework.
Meng Hang grinned every time Su Qing listed something about studying. If he hadn't planned to go to the mountains in the morning, the holidays would not be as relaxing as going to school. Even though he went to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt exotic animals, he thought it was just fun.
After a while, it was time to turn on the lights in the house. Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Cuilan called her husband, son, and grandson to go home.
Wang Sanmei saw that her sister-in-law didn't seem to have anything to do with her, and she was just treating guests, so she called Master Su Feng and asked them to go back.
Zhu Xiuyun suddenly said: "Third sister, tomorrow Qingqing and Meng Hang are going to the mountains to collect herbs. They said they are looking for some seasonings for cooking. Can you go?"
"If you go into the mountains at this time, you won't find anything good. Many elixirs have withered. There might be another snowfall and the leaves on the trees will all fall off."
"If you have nothing to do, go into the mountains and have fun. Pick some wild fruits and dig out a few herbs. If the seasonings Qingqing mentioned can be sold for money, let's go into the mountains together and play for a while. Your wheat field will be watered."
Wang Sanmei thought about it, "Okay, then I'll just take it as a trip to the mountains."
Su Qing didn't know yet that the group entering the mountain had added another member.
At night she practiced meditation as usual and then went to bed.
Su Qing's life has always been very regular, and she won't slack off just because she goes home for the holidays.
She and Zhu Xiuyun got up one after another at dawn, washed and had breakfast.
Zhu Xiuyun followed her instructions, put oil in the pan, fried the leftover dumplings from last night, and cut into half a pork knuckle. She knew her granddaughter loved it, so she definitely didn't eat it yesterday.
