Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

It was true that I forgot to remind him, and I felt a little guilty.

"Did you fall in? My pit was built very casually. There's no reason why you can't see it."

The grass on the path is all upright and thin grass, and the potholes are covered with large fern leaves, which are not upright when they are laid flat on them.

Mu Xi picked up the paste and said, "This little thing fell in as soon as I walked forward. The dirt on my pants came from digging it out and rubbing it on."

Mu Mu whined, pitifully.

Zhao Yeqing asked them both to wash up, "I'll cook first, and you two will come back to eat after washing up. Do you want the dumplings steamed or fried?"

"It's all right."

She just asked this. Only children make choices, and of course adults want them all.

Steamed dumplings and fried dumplings can be done at the same time. The former does not need to watch the heat, while the latter needs to be turned over.

Heat the oil in the pan and place the dumplings. When you smell the aroma of the dough, pour in a circle of water, cover and simmer for a few minutes.

Take advantage of the free time to adjust a dipping sauce. She likes to dip fried dumplings in oil and spicy pepper, and steamed dumplings in vinegar. No dipping sauce is needed for boiled dumplings. Just season the dumpling soup.

Fortunately, I bought chili powder when I bought seasonings. The chili pepper needs to be poured freshly to taste.

The most fragrant oil for spicy food is cooking oil. Unfortunately, there are no onions. The coriander also died heroically in the hailstorm a few days ago. The cooking oil can only be fried with scallions, bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise and other spices.

Both pots are currently occupied, and we have to wait until the pot is out of the pot before we can heat the oil.

Zhao Yeqing took a small bowl and poured out the vinegar first.

I don’t buy any special dumpling vinegar at home. The taste of aged vinegar and a little sugar is pretty much the same.

She loved sour food, so she added sugar because she was afraid that it would be too sour for Mu Xi to eat. She usually drank the remaining vinegar directly after eating dumplings.

Dumplings that have not been frozen cook faster, and fried and steamed dumplings are cooked almost at the same time.

The bottom of each fried dumpling is fried into a crispy shell, which can be served with a handful of cooked sesame seeds.

Take off the steamer basket from the big pot, and the water underneath is still boiling. It is clean and can be used to cook dumplings directly.

Place the dumplings into the pot. Use the back of a large spoon to gently push the dumplings to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Wait for a minute. Once they float a little, you don't have to hold them anymore.

Heat oil in a pot, put in all the aniseed and green onions, fry over low heat until these ingredients are dry, then turn off the heat and wait for five minutes. When the oil temperature drops, pour a spoonful of it on the chili noodles and mix well. Pour hot oil to prevent the chili batter from falling off.

Heat the remaining oil over high heat. When a slight smoke comes out, the oil is already scalding hot. At this time, pour all the oil on the chili noodles.

For a moment, the aroma of chili pepper was aroused, and the saliva in his mouth began to secrete uncontrollably.

The dumplings in the pot are also ready. Put the fried golden and crispy green onions at the bottom of the bowl, add soy oyster sauce and a little dried seaweed, pour the hot dumpling soup on top, and then scoop the dumplings out of the pot into the bowl. Sprinkle with a handful of green onions.

Three kinds of dumplings were served, and the dipping sauce was divided into two portions. This time, half of the dumplings were consumed, and the rest was put into bags and put in the freezer.

Seeing that Mu Xi had come back from the shower, she set up her chopsticks and silently recited the names of several elderly people.

Mu Xi stood beside him, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, his undisciplined brows and eyes looking a little soft, his lips opening and closing slightly, silently reciting something.

You can be seated and start eating in a few minutes.

"Yuanbao's is made from cabbage, and Liuye's is made from scallions. The two are mixed and cooked, and there are three flavors." Zhao Yeqing finished the brief introduction and stopped talking.

Because the freshly poured spicy oil is really fragrant.

Fried dumplings are the most versatile. According to the order, you should eat the boiled dumplings first to avoid the dumpling wrappers becoming swollen due to the soup, then eat the steamed dumplings, and finally eat the fried dumplings.

The boiled dumpling soup is based on the wonton soup base prepared by grandma in the past. It is missing a spoonful of lard, otherwise it would be more fragrant.

When steamed dumplings are made from freshly made dumplings, the skin will not become hard but will become slightly transparent.

Gently bite open the dumpling wrapper with your teeth, and the steam will come out from the inside. Then put it in vinegar to cool down, then pick it up and eat it directly.

The ones she bought were all aged vinegar, which had a pungent aroma and extremely high acidity. A dumpling full of aged vinegar made her taste sour and she squinted her eyes, but she couldn't help but pick up the next one right away.

The chili noodles used in Youpo Lazi are a mixture of several types of chili peppers, which are spicy and fragrant. The aunt who prepared the chili noodles for her at the vegetable market was married from Sichuan Province and is very good at preparing chili noodles.

She used rapeseed oil this time. The spicy aroma of rapeseed oil is more complex and layered. Even such oil-consuming dishes or seasonings are still a bit distressing to make.

Unfortunately, there is almost no lard in wild boars, so the family has to rely on purchased vegetable oil, and they don’t know when they will be able to replenish it.

Mu Xi recalled, "Didn't you go to the oil press in the town when you were a child?"

Zhao Yeqing had an impression, "I've been there before, and I bought Cha Ku to wash my hair when I was a kid...Do you want to squeeze the oil yourself?"

When I was a child, the oil pressing factory in the town was the Gufamu Oil Pressing Factory, which was later replaced by machines.

Wood oil pressing uses the impact and squeezing of wood to squeeze out the oil.

"I saw it when I was a kid and I have an impression. The principle is not complicated and it should be possible to operate."

Zhao Yeqing had never thought of this method. She just thought that if there was no oil in the future, she would see if she could get some oil from chickens and rabbits.

But now that he proposed to extract the oil himself, she began to think about the principle.

Logically speaking, as long as the power is sufficient, it is not difficult to press oil, but the oil yield rate of ancient oil pressing is definitely not as good as that of machine pressing.

There are wild tea seed trees on the mountain, but the yield is unknown. You still need to look for them carefully when the time comes. They are usually harvested after October, so there is no rush.

During the meal, we talked about the situation on the top of the mountain. Mu Xi said that he only saw a car, there were no bodies nearby, and there were no supplies except some wrenches and tools in the car.

After inserting the key into the car, he drove the car back and parked it on the road at the intersection.

After finishing a meal of dumplings, Zhao Yeqing looked at the fan and made a suggestion.

"How about we make a floor in the living room from now on."

Mu Xi looked up in surprise, "Are you okay?"

Zhao Yeqing raised his feet and threw away the slippers on his feet, and said angrily: "I'm afraid you'll faint from the heat when you sleep at night, and I have to collect your body."

The temperature tonight feels the same as during the day. The wind blown by the fan is carrying hot air. When the door is opened, the air will circulate, making the house a little more comfortable.

Recently, the sun is very bright during the day, and the moon is also very bright at night. There is not a single star in the dark blue sky. This is rare in the sky in the mountains. The stars that should have appeared are all obscured by the light of the moon. sound.

She thought about it and said that she should not let Mu Xi go to her room to lay the floor, but after saying this, she felt it was a bit strange, so she changed her mind and said that it would be better in the living room.

Mu Xi heard her change her words again and again, but still refused, "No, you go back to your bed and sleep. It's okay with me..."

The tone was a bit strange, which made Zhao Yeqing look up at him in confusion, only to see him arching his eyebrows, stroking his slender back with his long fingers, a smirk on his lips, and a teasing tone.

"I can't sleep on a tiled floor."

What responded to him was Zhao Yeqing's other slipper.
