The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

When Zhouquan came home, Chef Bibao surrounded the three cats first. The big civet cat led the other two kittens, circling around Zhouquan's calf, meowing and rubbing.

Zhou Quan knows that the cats want snacks, because the homestay feeds the cats by default, so other people will not feed them in private even if they are teasing the cats, unless Zhou Quan is as thorough as these days not there.

He bent down and grabbed the bellies of the three cats, and found that the bellies of these guys were bulging, and they must have been eating wild food outside again.

"What are you doing here when you're full? I'm feeding you when you're hungry." Zhou Quan said while driving away the cats around his feet.

Chef Bao had already come over at this time, and calmly pushed away the two kittens who were rubbing Zhouquan's calf, took the luggage and flower pot from his hand, and welcomed him into the B&B.

Most of the employees at the B&B are taking advantage of this rare free time to rest. Seeing him coming in, everyone immediately gathered around to say hello.

Waiter Xiaobao: "Brother Ah Quan, did you come back by yourself?"

Runner Dabao: "Why don't you make a phone call, so that someone can pick you up at the entrance of the village, how tired you are with so much luggage and a pot of flowers in your arms."

Uncle Wen: "Hey, you came directly to the B&B? Why didn't you put your luggage in when you passed by your house?"

It was only when Zhou Quan was asked by the other party that he remembered, it seemed that he was so eager to return to his heart, that when he just passed by the door of the house, he just turned a blind eye and passed by.

"Hahaha, I think it's the busiest time at the homestay at noon, and I thought I'd come to help when I got back, so I came here directly."

Did he just pass by the door of his own house?How come there is no such memory at all?

At this time, Zhou Quan didn't want to admit it at all. It was because he put all his thoughts on the B&B and Chef Bao that he neglected his own home. In the end, he made the same decision as Dayu, staying out of the house and not entering. Running straight forward with luggage.

A little awkwardly chatted with everyone, and finally crossed this paragraph.

Pulling the luggage, he brought Zhou Quan back to his room, and placed the pot of orchids brought in together on the flower stand. Chef Bao asked Zhou Quan, "I'm home by this time, have you eaten yet?"

Zhou Quan, who was drowsy after driving all morning, wiped his face with a towel dipped in water and said, "Not yet, the bread I bought when I got in the car was not good, I don't want to eat after eating one."

Knowing that Zhouquan was going to eat in the car at noon, he brought a pack of bean paste bread, but he didn't want to eat the small buns left over after eating one.

The bean paste is too sweet, the bread is not fluffy, the oil is not used well, the skin is not crispy, and it is not as delicious as the snacks and cakes that Brother Bao made for himself.

Zhouquan, who was already under the covers, didn't want to wrong himself at that time. Anyway, he had to go home in more than an hour, and he had to empty his stomach to wait for the delicious food that Brother Baozhen cooked for him.

Chef Bao did prepare him some popular food, which is very popular in the northern region, and his family Zhou Zhou also likes to eat dumplings.

Dumplings have a special status in the Northeast region. Just looking at the Chinese New Year, you can’t do without them on the dining table, and you know how deep their foundation is among the masses.

Dumplings are also one of the staple foods at the B&B, but they are not available every day. Usually, Chef Bao will make some and freeze them when he has free time. The frozen dumplings will appear on the mobile menu the next day.

If you want to eat dumplings at the homestay, you have to depend on your luck. If you are lucky, don’t pick what kind of stuffing it is.

Today's dumplings are filled with three delicacies, which are pork, shrimp, and eggs.

In order to welcome Zhou Quan, Chef Bao went to the market early in the morning to buy the farmer’s stupid pork, the fresh shrimp peeled from the live Penaeus vannamei, and the local eggs laid by the few old hens left in Uncle Chen’s family. When it came out, Uncle Wen, the assistant chef next to him, was speechless.

Oh my god, this is a lot of money. The stupid pork is made of plum meat. The fat and white meat is the place where the taste of the pig is particularly good. Usually, it is cut out and sent to the barbecue shop to be roasted alone. The top is a big dish.

And the shrimps, which are fresh and live shrimps that Ah Guan bought at the market before dawn.

Anyone who has eaten seafood knows that fresh and frozen are definitely two flavors.

Although it is used to make dumplings, when Ah Yan bought the shrimp, he did not choose the largest one, but compared to those ready-made shrimps that have been frozen for an unknown period of time, the flavor of this fresh shrimp is definitely first-class of.

And the eggs, if I remember correctly, the old aunt of the Chen family sent them over to Baozhen and Zhou Zhou a few days ago, and because of the love that she had for Zhouquan and Ahzhen, she would not send them if they were not good things.

Just the half box of eggs is absolutely purely domesticated, without any feed.

How much is the dumpling made by combining these three things?

The key is that the chef is the one who mixes the noodles and the stuffing. This kid usually doesn't like making pasta, but that doesn't mean he's not good at it.

Not to mention anything else, Uncle Wen remembered that among the boy's pile of awards, trophies, and medals, pastry and pastry accounted for a large proportion.

Uncle Wen has been staring at the pot of dumpling stuffing since he made it. He really wants to taste what this distinctive three delicacies of meat tastes like.

It's a pity that the head chef put them aside after kneading the noodles and adjusting the stuffing. There was no meaning of wrapping them. Even today's noon staple food menu didn't include the item of dumplings.

Don't want to do this?Then why prepare such a big pot of dumpling stuffing?

You must know that although it is already the beginning of autumn, it is still in Shufuli. With the temperature in the dog days, if you don’t make it at night, the dumpling stuffing will not be fresh even in the refrigerator.

However, the head chef is the biggest in the kitchen. If he doesn't speak, no one dares to speak. Everyone including Uncle Wen is at a loss.

But after Zhouquan came over, Uncle Wen saw that the head chef who came out from Sijin seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. He strode into the kitchen, found out the dough and dumpling fillings that had been prepared earlier, and quickly made them.

The dough is quickly made into equal-sized noodles in the hands of Chef Bao. After flattening, Chef Bao holds the extended rolling pin in his hand and directly drives out two dough sheets at a time.

The assistant cook who had been waiting for dumplings all morning stood at the door and asked, "Ah, can you help me?"

Chef Bao, who lowered his head and rolled the dough, replied, "No, seven or eighty dumplings will be finished in a few minutes."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wen looked at the large pile of noodles left in the basin, and looked at the dumpling stuffing in another basin, thinking that this material was not enough for seventy or eighty pieces.

However, Chef Bao really stopped making eighty dumplings and went directly to the boiling water pot to cook the dumplings with the bamboo and wood curtain on which the raw dumplings were placed.

While looking at the dumpling pot, Chef Bao still didn't forget his employees. He shouted to the people resting in the yard: "Anyone of you who wants to eat dumplings can come in and make dumplings. The noodles and fillings are ready. Keep enough for yourself." Yes, if there is any leftover, write it down on the menu, and if there is something extra in the guest room, cook it for the guests.”

While speaking, the dumplings in the pot had gradually floated up. Seeing this, Chef Bao put down the spoon in his hand, and took the empty bowl to the seasoning area to adjust the dipping sauce for the dumplings.

Light soy sauce with dumpling soy sauce, crushed garlic and a few drops of balsamic vinegar. Chef Bao, who fully understands Zhouquan's taste, doesn't have to think too much, and he won't make mistakes with his eyes closed.

After the dipping sauce was adjusted, the dumplings just came out of the pan. Chef Bao took the bowl and chopsticks to carry the dumplings, and went to deliver the meal to the younger one.

As soon as he left, the staff from the B&B side poured into the kitchen, and everyone stood by the noodle table, wrapping up all the remaining dumplings.

Chef Bao left all the fillings and noodles this time, and nearly [-] dumplings were made in the kitchen.

Uncle Wen looked at the dumplings and looked at everyone and said: "We have eaten just now, so we just eat a few to taste the taste, and leave the rest for the guests."

Everyone agreed after hearing the words, so Uncle Wen ordered 50 dumplings. According to the number of people, one person can eat five or six of this amount.

In the main house on the east side, Zhou Quan, who had been driving all morning, was sitting cross-legged on the kang, watching the small kang table, happily eating dumplings specially prepared for him.

Chef Bao sat across from him, watching him gobble it up, and suddenly felt that the dumplings in his mouth were quite delicious.

The most important thing about the dumplings filled with three delicacies is the word xian. The freshness of pork, the freshness of eggs, and the freshness of shrimp must not only be reflected, but also be integrated with each other, but they cannot steal the original taste of each other.

Chef Bao He's dumpling stuffing is very good at this point. When the dumpling is bitten open, there is a big meaty egg in the shape of a ball inside. Suck the soup inside gently, and the mouthful of fresh fragrance immediately fills the mouth.

Zhou Quan squinted his eyes, with a psychedelic expression full of happiness. The soup in this dumpling tasted no worse than the broth cooked slowly by an old fire.

After tasting the fresh soup, he swallowed the dumpling wrappers and meat fillings in one gulp, and chewed them in big mouthfuls. The fresh, smooth, refreshing and tender taste made Zhouquan unable to stop.

The meat stuffing wrapped around the shrimp and eggs fully absorbs the umami flavor of the shrimp and eggs, and the shrimp and eggs increase the elasticity of the pork. When you eat the whole dumpling, you can even hear the crunch between chewing The sound of crunching meat shreds.

How can it be so delicious! ! !

It's really delicious! ! !

It's right to go home hungry, only Bao Yan can make this delicious food.

Zhouquan ate half of the [-] dumplings that came in the last four, and Chef Bao ate the other half.

This is the highest record for the number of dumplings he has eaten personally, but this is not what he wants to stop. If Chef Bao didn't allow him to continue eating because he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed, Zhou Quan believed that he would definitely be able to eat some more.

On the other side of the kitchen, after the employees divided 50 dumplings in a storm, they all held the bowls and did not put them down. They silently looked at the dumplings that had just been put into the refrigerator, and looked at the assistant chef with pleading eyes.

At this time, Uncle Wen sighed with a bowl in his hand: "I have learned to cook for 20 years and worked as a chef for [-] years. I have seen it before, but I am always amazed and admired by Ah Huang's craftsmanship. This is the gap between the top and first-class in the industry." Bar."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head, and immediately saw pairs of colleagues holding their rice bowls and looking at him brightly.

"Uh, still want to eat?"

Everyone nodded fiercely when they heard the words, and their movements were very uniform.

"Didn't you just have lunch? Can you still eat?"

He responded with a neat nod.

"Okay, I'll cook it all at my discretion, but remember to bring some local pork, shrimp and stupid eggs over tomorrow. Let's mix the noodles with the stuffing and make up the dumplings with meat and three delicacies for the guests."

"Long live, Uncle Wen is wise."

Amidst the cheers of the employees, all the remaining dumplings went into their stomachs. When Chef Bao came back, he saw all his employees hiccupping with their stomachs upright, busy with the work in hand .

The author has something to say:

Well fed: Why am I full?No, if it's something made by Brother Baoquan, I can have another big bowl. When I eat something made by Brother Baoquan, I have another stomach.

A group of homestay employees with their stomachs upright: Well, we absolutely agree with this point.
