He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Yinzi's blind dates are still going on, but most of them end in failure. Either he can't get along well with the cat, or he can't get along well with Yinzi.

Just when Lu Yan thought the matter was going to end without any problem, her neighbor sent her a little white dog.

The little white dog was a female, but it looked like she was not yet an adult. Lu Yan was a little confused when she took the dog.

The dog owner scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "It is a bit introverted and is always bullied at home. If you want to match your money with your family, you can try it and see if it suits you. I can just give it to you."

There are four dogs at home, two males and two females. When the owner first brought them back to raise them, he also wanted them to be matched with each other. However, Xiao Bai was too introverted. He would hide in the corner and grab food every day without fighting. Never get it. If you can't grab it, you just don't eat it and go back to the corner to lie down.

Lu Yan: Good guy, dogs also have social fears.

Lu Yan took the dog home and as soon as she put it down, she found a corner and curled up, not even looking at the three cats and one dog in the house. The three cats glanced at it and didn't move up. Instead, Yinzi's attention was attracted. Perhaps this gesture aroused Yinzi's protective desire too easily, so Yinzi moved closer to it and lay down next to it.

The little white dog stood up nervously when he saw Yinzi coming, but found that Yinzi didn't move either, so he lay down again with peace of mind.

Seeing that they got along quite harmoniously, Lu Yan simply left Xiaobai behind. Yinzi doesn’t know whether this blind date will be a success or not. Anyway, the dog is left behind. Whether it can happen or not depends on the estrus season next spring.

The days are passing by, and it will be the winter solstice in a few days.

It is impossible not to hold activities. People eat dumplings during the winter solstice in the north. Lu Yan plans to have a dumpling banquet, and then asks Song Bowen to hold a poetry conference in praise of sunshine. The hot spring resort is almost ready, and this event is mainly to build momentum for the resort's business.

"I understand the truth, but why are you praising the sunshine?" Lu Sheng was puzzled.

"The winter solstice is the day with the shortest day and the longest night of the year." Lu Yan said: "In other words, before the winter solstice, the days become shorter and shorter, reaching the limit on the winter solstice, and after the winter solstice, the days become shorter and shorter. It’s getting longer and longer. So let’s celebrate the sunshine this day.”

Lu Sheng suddenly realized.

Song Bowen: "Then we still arrange it like a chrysanthemum banquet?"

Lu Yan shook her head: "Dumplings are not a rare thing. I want everyone to eat them. You'd better add a quota there."

Lu Yan thought for a while: "I mainly want to promote our Zhuangzi. I initially imagined that our Zhuangzi's charging levels are one tael of silver per person. That is, if you want to come in and soak in the hot spring, you must first pay one tael of silver before you can enter. Of course we can't call Tickets are called reservation fees. You have to pay extra for meals, food, entertainment, and accommodation. I will issue a menu at that time, and different dishes will have different prices. Our chess and card room, the lobby does not require money to enter directly, but There is a cash register for tea and snacks, the huts with horse tags are charged by the hour, and massages and traditional Chinese medicine baths are all set at different prices.”

"Your voting process is the same as that of the Chrysanthemum Banquet. The quota will be increased by one first prize, two second prizes, and three third prizes, for a total of six places. The first prize of the hot spring manor luxury package can be Enjoy all the services in Zhuangzi for free, the second prize can enjoy the hot springs and all services in the health room for free, and the third prize can enjoy the hot springs for free.”

Song Bowen, the owner of the hot spring resort, also invested money. He was very happy to let him organize activities to promote the event. When Lu Yan directly told him what to do, he couldn't be happier and nodded desperately.

"For our side, I hope to prepare dumplings with ten kinds of fillings. There will be a winner in each dumpling. There are ten in total. Among them, there is also designed to be a first prize, two second prizes, and the others are third prizes. The prize setting is the same as yours." Lu Yan continued: "But I was a little hesitant. I originally wanted to use a piece of wood or something to wrap it in the dumplings, and whoever eats it will claim the prize. But I was afraid that I would eat it too fast. If you swallow it or it hurts your teeth, it won’t be good.”

Lu Sheng thought for a while: "What you said is possible. If the teeth are scratched, the diners may come back to see us, and then the good things will turn into bad things. It's better not to wrap them in dumplings, just like at the Chrysanthemum Banquet, just prepare ten Make a box, write different fillings, put a note inside, and you can go and touch one of the dumplings with which filling you want in that box."

Lu Yan felt that this was indeed the safest way. After a few people discussed it, they put up the sign for the poetry conference.

Lu Yan's dumpling lottery is only open on the Winter Solstice. But the ten fillings really need to be prepared early. The temperature here is already below freezing. Wrapping the dumplings in oil paper and putting them in the yard is no different from putting them in the refrigerator or freezer.

There are ten kinds of fillings, which is not easy to say. Fortunately, the leeks and celery planted by Lu Yan are also growing now.

Finally, I picked and selected ten kinds of fillings: pork leek, pork cabbage, pork radish, pork green onion, pork celery, chicken mushroom, leek and egg, spinach and egg, cabbage and egg, and Jinwei Su.

Jinweisu is a very magical filling. Lu Sheng said that he had never heard of it and could not imagine it just by hearing the name. He prayed that Lu Yan would make it for him in advance.

Jinwei vegetarian dumplings, as the name suggests, are a specialty of Tianjin and cannot be eaten anywhere outside Tianjin. Tianjin people are particularly fond of sesame sauce. A spoonful of sesame sauce is poured into Tianjin’s classic breakfast noodles, tea and Garba dishes, and dumpling fillings are all filled with sesame sauce.

Jinweisu uses bean sprouts, dried xiangxiang, black fungus, coriander and red powder bark, all of which are chopped and set aside.

Everything else is easy to prepare, but you have to make the pink skin yourself. The method of making red bean paste is similar to that of cold bean paste. Use a bowl to mix a bowl of starch water. The starch can be mung bean starch or wheat starch. Lu Yan was too lazy to make it and directly used sweet potato starch. Add red food coloring to the starch water. If there is no coloring, skip this step.

Take a large metal flat plate and pour a thin layer of starch water on it. Boil water in a pot, place the flat plate on the water, and slowly heat the water to form a layer of flour. This is how to make Liangpi, which is not difficult.

Seasonings should also be prepared, add sesame paste, fermented bean curd, drain with sesame oil, and mix thoroughly.

Chop all the ingredients, add the prepared bean curd and sesame paste, stir evenly, and add salt when wrapping. The Jinweisu filling is ready.

The taste of Jinwei vegetarian dumplings is really unique. The sesame sauce is rich in fragrance, the bean sprouts are refreshing, the skin is soft, the fragrant and dry are full of toughness, and the coriander adds a unique taste. It’s hard to describe what the dumplings taste like, but they are indeed very delicious. Because fermented bean curd is needed, we won’t prepare too much to sell it in the store on the winter solstice.

Lu Sheng was filled with admiration: "How on earth did you come up with this? You are so talented at eating."

Lu Yan waved her hands quickly: "This is not what I thought of, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the masses."

The Lu family chatted while eating dumplings.

Lu Sheng: "Actually, I didn't like eating dumplings very much when I was a child. I just remember the wild vegetable dumplings my mother made at that time. Wow, they were bitter and astringent, like eating grass."

Xu's face turned a little red: "I'm really not good at cooking. Yan'er's buns stuffed with wild vegetables are delicious."

"The main thing is that wild vegetables taste best when paired with meat. If you don't add meat, you also need to add oil and eggs. You can't just have wild vegetables." Lu Yan said.

The conditions at home were not bad before, but they are still incomparable to what they are now, and they don't have a clear idea of ​​how to process each ingredient, so the meals they cook are a bit difficult to describe.

Lu Yan's memories of dumplings are also a bit ridiculous. When Lu Yan was a child, her grandmother was keen on making dumplings from the leftovers at home, so Lu Yan has eaten dumplings stuffed with fried celery and meat, dumplings stuffed with stir-fried toon and egg, dumplings with stir-fried meat and green pepper, and stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts. Stuffed dumplings.

I have to say, some of them are actually quite delicious.
