Chapter 35 Wild vegetable dumplings
Although Chen Qiqi and Wang had some minor disputes, they were just minor fights and Zheng protected her very well.
Fifteen or sixteen years old is the age when she is young and ignorant. After listening to Cui Yunzhu's words, she began to think about it. She felt that what her third sister-in-law said was right and she still needed to have a skill.
Chen Qiqi immediately understood a lot and nodded quickly: "I understand, Third Sister-in-law, I will study hard in the future, just for my own benefit."
The two of them smiled knowingly.
It was almost time for lunch. Cui Yunzhu had been resting for two days in a row, and this time she must not sit in the house alone.
She walked into the kitchen and Chen Qiqi followed her like a follower.
The men had been busy all morning, and Zheng thought they were still resting, so she was not in a hurry to make lunch, which gave Cui Yunzhu just enough time to make lunch.
She looked in the cupboard.
There was basically no rice left. All that was left were some brown rice, some coarse grains, and a few bundles of fresh wild vegetables, which should have been picked by Zheng in the morning. Next to the wild vegetables there was also a small bag of flour of average quality.
Then let’s make some wild vegetable dumplings for lunch.
When Chen Qiqi saw the wild vegetables in her third sister-in-law's hand, her mouth began to taste bitter even though there was nothing in it.
Alas! No matter how good the Third Sister-in-law's cooking skills are, how delicious can these wild vegetable dumplings be?
The food was so good the past two days that she forgot about directions. This was the normal state of the family. She had no choice but to light the stove and start the fire.
Chen Yan, who had been searching for a long time but couldn't find anyone, walked into the kitchen and finally found them here.
He first glanced at his wife who still treated him as air, and adhering to the principle of doing things quietly, he washed the pot and poured out the rinsing water before his wife.
He was also very considerate and noticed the bundles of wild vegetables in front of his wife. He guessed that she would use them later, so he took them out to wash as well. After washing, he placed them neatly on the stove.
Cui Mingzhu still ignored him, but raised the corners of her mouth slightly, which made the man feel relieved. Fortunately, his wife was not really angry.
Cui Yunzhu first boiled a pot of hot water, sprinkled a handful of coarse salt into the water, and then put the wild vegetables in to blanch them.
There are many varieties of wild vegetables on the mountain. When people go to pick wild vegetables, they basically take whatever they see. After coming back, they put all the wild vegetables together to cook. However, some wild vegetables taste bitter and astringent and are not delicious. Poor families eat them without being picky, which leads to many children like Chen Qiqi hating to eat wild vegetables.
Blanching wild vegetables with salt can remove the bitterness to a large extent. This is what she learned in modern times.
Take the blanched wild vegetables and chop them on the chopping board. Then take a clean bowl, add appropriate amounts of flour, salt, and lard, and finally add the wild vegetables and mix them together. Then take a ladle of cold water and keep adding it into the bowl and stirring. During this process, you also need to adjust the amount of flour until the wild vegetable balls can be completely kneaded into shape.
The Chen family’s stove was very high. Chen Qiqi was petite and sat in front of the stove making a fire. From such a distance, only the tips of her hair could be seen.
After making sure that Chen Qiqi couldn't see this side, Cui Yunzhu took out a bag of five-spice powder, a bottle of sesame oil, MSG and other seasonings, added them to the wild vegetable dumplings and continued to mix well, then kneaded them into round balls, put a steamer in the pot and steamed them.
As the saying goes, eat a full lunch.
Cui Yunzhu took a look at the wild vegetable dumplings in the pot and thought that there might not be enough for the large family, so she asked Chen Yan to wash a few sweet potatoes and put them in the steamer to steam.
She moved a stool and sat next to the stove with Chen Qiqi. The two of them started chatting with each other. She burst into laughter about something and fell on Chen Qiqi with laughter.
The man's resentful look was not seen by the two of them, but it fell into Zheng's eyes.
Just as she was about to come over to make lunch, she saw her good son standing in the middle of the kitchen with a sad face. When she got closer, she saw two girls lying in a ball laughing.
Wow, he's even jealous of Qiqi. How disgusting.
The smell of wild vegetable dumplings began to waft out, and Zheng moved her nose and took a sniff.
Hmm? A refreshing fragrance, without the bitter taste of ordinary wild vegetables.
This must have been made by the third son's wife. Zheng liked the new daughter-in-law even more. She even came early to make lunch. She was indeed a sensible girl.
She opened the pot and saw that it would take a while. "Yunzhu, you and Qiqi should go back to your room and play. These wild vegetable dumplings will take a while to steam. Mom can just watch over them here."
Unlike the look of disdain she gave Chen Yan, the look she gave Cui Yunzhu was full of relief.
"Mom, I don't know what we usually eat for lunch, so I made some wild vegetable dumplings and steamed some sweet potatoes."
"Hey, you did a great job. We usually make about the same amount. Although we are not a wealthy family, at least we can't let our family members starve."
After Chen Qiqi saw her mother come in and lift the lid of the pot, she realized belatedly that the smell coming from the pot was really different from usual!
She said excitedly, "Third sister-in-law! You are amazing! This wild vegetable dumpling doesn't smell bitter at all. The wild vegetable dumplings I ate when I was a child were all bitter. Today, when I saw you were going to make wild vegetable dumplings, I was ready to support you with my life. But when I smelled this, it must be different from the usual ones. How about I try one for you first?"
As he said this, he was about to catch it.
"You stupid girl, why are you trying it when it's not even cooked? You're just being greedy! Do you mean the wild vegetable dumplings I made are not delicious?" Zheng slapped her hand away.
"No, no, my mother's cooking is impeccable, but my third sister-in-law's cooking is fresh. I just want something new, hehe." Chen Qiqi smiled embarrassedly.
"Didn't you say before that you felt like vomiting every time your mother made wild vegetable dumplings?" the man who had been silent suddenly interrupted.
Ok? !
Chen Qiqi didn't have time to argue with Chen Yan, because Zheng grabbed her ear and took her out to scold her. When she walked out, she pointed at Chen Yan's face with anger.
"Are you sure you two didn't whisper that you both wanted to vomit?" Cui Yunzhu gave him a joking look.
Chen Yan was tall and strong, and Chen Qiqi was sitting too close to the stove, so he felt too crowded and simply pulled his chair back and sat next to her.
Although he was said to be beside her, Cui Yunzhu felt as if he was hugging her from behind. If she leaned back slightly, she could touch his shoulders.
Thinking of his ridiculous appearance in the morning, she didn't dare to make fun of him anymore. Her body was slightly stiff and she didn't dare to move.
Chen Yan looked at her soft profile in the firelight without saying a word. The fire in the stove made his body warm, just like his current heart.
Chen Qiqi finally managed to escape from Zheng, came back, grabbed Cui Yunzhu and ran into the room, not forgetting to glare at Chen Yan as she left.
