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

The Winter Solstice event is over, and there are still a lot of dumplings left. Not only the ones stuffed with cabbage, there are two or three leftovers of all kinds of stuffings.

So this time is all about eating dumplings in a fancy way.

Lu Yan first made ice flower fried dumplings at home.

The bottom of the ice flower fried dumplings is connected by a layer of ice flower-like crispy shell, which is so beautiful that Lu Yan couldn't bear to destroy the whole plate and put it in a food box. The county school would not make it at noon.

The key to making ice flower fried dumplings is the preparation of the ice flower liquid. Prepare it according to the ratio of flour: starch: oil: water 1:1:2:10 and stir evenly.

Put some base oil in the pan, put the dumplings into the pan in neat circles, add water to a quarter of the level of the dumplings, cover and simmer for a while. When all the water in the pot is gone, pour in the ice flower liquid and add it to a quarter of the dumplings. Use low heat to drain the water in the pot, and the ice flower fried dumplings are ready.

In order to preserve the ice on the bottom of the dumplings, find a plate to cover the fried dumplings in the pot, hold the plate and quickly turn the pot over, and the fried dumplings will be quickly placed on the plate. The fried dumplings were placed upside down on the plate, and the thin ice crystal shell on top was not broken at all. It looked so good.

Fried Dumplings with Binghua

He broke off the ice flowers with a click and put a dumpling into his mouth. Fried dumplings taste crispy and crispy on the outside, making them more enjoyable to eat than boiled dumplings. The fried dumplings made by Lu Yan have all kinds of fillings. You don’t know what kind of stuffing you have until you eat it. It’s like opening a blind box.

Lu Sheng loved this way of eating. While eating, he asked, "There are still a lot of dumplings left at home. Will you make these for lunch tomorrow?"

Lu Yan shook her head: "No, you scholars are too much to eat. I'll do something to save trouble."

As expected, lunch the next day was not fried dumplings, but dumplings mixed with red oil. Mixed a large pot using Zhong's dumpling recipe.

The soul of Zhong Dumplings is to copy soy sauce, that is, red soy sauce, which needs to be made separately. Add soy sauce, water, brown sugar, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaf and other spices and green onion and ginger segments to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat for two quarters of an hour. Cook until dense bubbles form and the spoon will hang on the spoon. It is ready. Strain it out and the red soy sauce is ready.

Pour the cooked dumplings with red soy sauce, the red oil splashed with spices before, minced garlic, and chopped green onions, mix well, and a simple lunch is ready.

Bell dumplings

Song Bowen sighed while eating: "Miss Lu always comes up with new dipping sauces, and each one is delicious."

Xue Zhuoyuan no longer dared to say that dipping shoe soles was delicious, and gave a thumbs up in agreement.

Only Chu Tiankuo hit the mark: "This soy sauce is different. It tastes different from the soy sauce we usually eat."

"It's probably cooked with spices." Lu Sheng, who often watches Lu Yan cooking, said, "That red oil is cooked with a lot of spices."

"No wonder it smells so good. My mother splashed it with pure chili powder, but it doesn't taste the same." Xue Zhuoyuan clicked his tongue in surprise.

"Of course." Lu Sheng said in a proud tone: "These are all Lu Yan's unique secret recipes. I haven't seen anyone learn all my dishes in such a long time."

Lu Sheng felt that Lu Yan was always surprising people when it came to cooking. He originally thought that he would get tired of eating dumplings every day these days, but it turned out that Lu Yan changed the dishes every day, which was quite fresh.

On the third day, it was still dumplings at noon, but the way of eating was changed to dumplings in sour soup.

Whether sour soup dumplings are delicious or not depends on the soup. If the soul of Zhong dumplings is soy sauce, then the soul of sour soup dumplings is vinegar.

If you use vinegar directly, it will be a bit strong and the fragrance is not soft enough, so you need to deal with it. Heat the oil, scallion, ginger, dried chili, cinnamon, bay leaf, and peppercorns, and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the vinegar, bring to a boil over low heat, add a spoonful of soy sauce, remove from the heat, and add some sugar while it is still warm. Filter out the residue and the vinegar is ready.

Put chopped green onion, seaweed and dried shrimps in a bowl, add salt and pepper, add two tablespoons of vinegar, a tablespoon of oil and pepper, pour in the dumpling soup to break up the seasoning at the bottom of the bowl, then pour the dumplings in, and the sour soup dumplings are ready. .

Sour soup dumplings

The dumplings in sour soup are sour and spicy, sour and appetizing. In the cold winter, after a mouthful of hot soup, sweat breaks out on the tip of my nose. The hot and sour soup goes down your throat, and your stomach quickly warms up.

Chu Tiankuo took two sips of the soup from the bowl and sighed: "This is what I need to eat in winter. It warms up my whole body."

Song Bowen and Xue Zhuoyuan both nodded in agreement. Only Lu Sheng touched his chin and looked at Chu Tiankuo. After a while, he said, "Senior Brother Chu has been eating the same as us recently."

Chu Tiankuo smiled honestly: "It's one spoonful less than yours. Shopkeeper Lu said I've lost a lot of weight and I don't need to be as strict as before, but I still have control."

Two months later, Chu Tiankuo has indeed lost a lot of weight and looks smaller than before.

"Shopkeeper Lu is so awesome." Xue Zhuoyuan looked at Chu Tiankuo and sighed: "I say it can make you lose weight, but it can really make you lose weight. The key is that it's not painful."

"What's this?" Song Bowen continued: "You don't know how tall Lu Sheng was last year. When I first met him, he was only as tall as my chin. This year, Miss Lu was almost as tall as me. "

Lu Sheng was suddenly cueed, and after listening to it, he was very happy. No man cares about his height. I am still so young and will grow taller in the future.

Then he remembered what Lu Yan said about being a breeder and couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Yan is like a breeder, feeding everyone who is attracted to her like crazy. Although she always talks about how much she longs to make money and does all this to get rich, Lu Sheng knows that it is actually because she really likes it and has a real sense of accomplishment. When she sees others loving what she makes, she Really happy.

Lu Yan didn't know what Lu Sheng was thinking, but she finally finished eating all the remaining dumplings, and one of her serious worries was finally solved.

There are some things you really can’t say, just say whatever you want. Lu Sheng just said at noon that Lu Yan had a unique secret recipe that outsiders couldn't imitate, so he invited thieves that night.

Feng Er is a local ruffian in the neighborhood. He doesn't do his job all day long and does some sneaky things to make a living. He took a job from a boss and asked him to come to the Lu family's kitchen to steal Lu Ji's secret powder or sauce.

Feng Er has been taking this job for a long time. He knew that the Lu family had a big dog and he never dared to act rashly. Later, they put the big dog next door, and Feng Er thought an opportunity had come. As a result, they brought back a cat within a few days.

Feng Er thought it was better to observe further. I took the cat back a few days later. Okay, Feng Er knew that his opportunity had come. He observed for several days what time the Lu family came back, what time there was no movement in the yard, and determined the time for everyone to go to bed. Feng Er used the tools he had prepared long ago to go directly from outside the wall. He climbed in and sneaked into the kitchen.

He overlooked one point. Yingniang's yard and the Lu family's yard were very close to each other. Both houses had specially dug dog holes, so humans couldn't leave, but cats and dogs could. The cow cat doesn't necessarily sleep somewhere every day, but today it slept on the Lu family's stove.

Feng Er walked into the kitchen and looked around. The cow cat climbed out of the stove and stood quietly behind him.
