Contracting canteens in the future

It's not as delicious as dumplings.

You can eat dumplings during Chinese New Year, during festivals, on birthdays, when you are happy, or when you are unhappy...Northern people cannot live without dumplings.

In the last days, the friend who lived on the same floor as Rong Yi was from the north, and was stranded in the south due to work reasons. In the last days, the weather in the south was lived in the north.Let’s not talk about these things, let’s talk about that friend’s diet. He likes to eat dumplings during the New Year’s festival and when he has nothing to do. Finally, he got some meat. Meat, pricked meat, steamed meat with flour... My friend is making dumplings with flour.

I have cabbage on hand, so I make dumplings with cabbage meat; the leeks in the pot have grown again, so I cut the fresh and tender leeks to make dumplings with leek meat; if there are a few carrots that are about to dry out, I grate them into shreds Make dumplings stuffed with carrots; or if there is really nothing to do, the meat-only dumplings are more delicious.

It's rare to get meat once, and it's made into dumplings instead of braised pork. Rong Yi can't fully understand it, but besides, the dumplings made by my friend are really delicious.The dough rolled by hand, the stuffing chopped by hand, and the dumplings made by myself are delicious.

It's a pity that that friend walked in the snowy weather, in his prime of life in his 40s.

Before leaving, he was still thinking about the dumplings made by his parents...

Rong Yi, who was holding the dumpling, was in a daze, looking at the dumpling with a big belly in his hand, he sighed, could it be that his soul has really aged?Why do we recall the past at every turn, and get stuck in the past at every turn?It shouldn't be, even in his last life, he was still very optimistic and young even in his seventies and eighties. Many students who studied with him said that he looked more like a young man than they did.

"Shouldn't be."

Mei Yiyi became nervous, "Boss, am I doing well?"

He curled up his index finger, dipped the filling with the back of his finger, brought it to his mouth and stuck out his tongue to lick it.Mei frowned one by one, he felt that the saltiness was just right, what was the problem?

"Boss, did I miss the seasoning powder?" Mei tried to find the problem one by one.

Rong Yi, who was caught in self-entanglement, found that he had double recalled the past again, and suddenly he felt bad, "This is not possible!" He raised his voice a little.

Huang Yanbin, who was kneading the dough, suddenly increased his speed and worked hard to knead the dough, humming and chichi, his tongue was so tired that he stuck out of the mask, he shouldn't be lazy, he was wrong.

Even if Huang Yanbin was like this, Mei Yiyi who was standing beside Rong Yi was about to cry.

Rong Yi put away his distracted attention in a mournful voice, and when he looked up, he saw Mei Yiyi, who was holding on to her red eyes, and Huang Yanbin, who was kneading the noodles with all her strength. , "Yiyi, Xiao Huang bullied you? Don't be afraid, Master will support you."

"Heaven and earth conscience, huh, I'm good with Yiyi, huh, I treat him as my own brother, huh..." Huang Yanbin either didn't open his mouth, or panted like a dog when he opened his mouth.

Mei Yiyi shivered as if he was being shocked by an electric shock. He bit his lower lip lightly, "I, I..." Big tears came out of his eyes, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled in a very ugly way, "I see .Boss, I'm going to sort things out in the cold storage, so I'm going to be busy, I'm busy, there are a lot of things to do."

Mei Yiyi buried her head and hurried away.

Huang Yanbin was at a loss, "What does he know?"

Rong Yi said "ah", "I'm old, I don't understand young people's feelings."

As soon as the words fell, Rong Yi raised his hand and slapped himself lightly, muttering, "Old man."

Huang Yanbin stretched his neck and turned his head to look at the direction of Mei Yiyi's departure. In his mind, the moments when the two of them got along emerged one by one. He understood and didn't understand.He held the dough with both hands and pounded it vigorously, "Master, what should I do?"

"Cold salad." Rong Yi said angrily, "Either go find Yiyi, or roll over and knead the noodles!"

Huang Yanbin kneaded the dough habitually, kneaded it, folded it over and continued to knead it.

boom!

Huang Yanbin threw the basketball-sized dough onto the chopping board, and it rushed into the cold storage like the wind.

"Hey, young people are unreliable at critical moments, and I still need this old bone... Bah, bah, bah, I need me as a master to clean up the mess." Rong Yi stood alone in the kitchen and muttered, thinking like A little old man, he called out, "Origin, knead the dough."

A little boy wearing blue suspender denim trousers walked over. His delicate little face was expressionless, and his crisp and tender voice remained unchanged, as if someone owed him millions. Not paying him back the millions he owed others so he couldn't pay back...

I saw this seven or eight-year-old boy, who was only a head taller than the cooking table, start kneading the dough with his thin arms.

The few people who were sitting in the lobby waiting for dinner slowly widened their eyes, "..."

"Okay, amazing."

"not human."

"What are you doing? Didn't you just stutter for a while, do you need to scold people like this?"

"I said, that boy is not a human being, but a robot bought by the boss."

"Eh? The boss likes the new and dislikes the old, don't you want that old nanny robot?"

"No, I heard from the boss that the model is too old and the tracks are inconvenient to move, so I put it at home and don't bring it to the cafeteria."

"oh oh."

Through the mouths of insiders, everyone finally knew that the little boy who kneaded the dough smooth and round was not a human being.It is indeed a robot customized by the boss at a large price. It looks first-class, with thick and curly eyelashes guarding the black eyes, and the small ruddy mouth with small shell-like teeth. It is so delicate and cute that it seems to come from a painting. No wonder it is not human.

"Origin, I changed your body for you, use your expression."

Origin's eyes moved slightly, and the "muscles" on the face could see slight changes, and a smile slowly appeared.

Rong Yi nodded affirmatively, "Not bad."

After a while, Origin was still smiling.

Rong Yi felt a little nervous in his back, as if he saw a puppet in "Dead Silence".

After a while.

People who were going to learn how to make dumplings with Rong Yi came, and they all stopped when they saw the smiling boy kneading the dough.

"Boss, boss." Someone called out hesitantly.

Rong Yi raised his forehead, "Origin, stop laughing."

Origin fluttered his big eyes, he didn’t understand, let him laugh when he wasn’t smiling, why he was still so dissatisfied when he smiled, it’s hard for human beings to understand.

Origin, "Okay, sir."

His expressionless face returned.

Rong Yi, "...hehe."

Forget it, it's still the same.

"Sit down, everyone, don't be restrained, you are all old people, no matter your age or the time you came to Bayland, you are my seniors, entering the cafeteria is like coming to your own home, you don't need to tie your hands and feet." Rong Yi greeted Going to the side, he asked people to put two tables together into one long one. The dumpling stuffing and the proofed dough had been placed on the table in advance, as well as some gloves and headgear. Put on a mask, gloves and a head cover after cleaning."

"Ok."

"Boss, don't look at us as we are old, we are in good health."

"We all have health certificates."

Rong Yi looked at everyone with a smile, but did not strike up a conversation.He found seven or eight older people, all of whom were over a hundred years old. In the past, they would have entered the soil a long time ago, but now they are just in their twilight years. Some of them don't look old at all. Rand's gray hair and fine lines on his face were worn out by the weather.There is Gu Shaoan, the old man that Lao Meng has been taking care of. He just recovered from his serious injury and couldn't help but look for work at home. He even said that he was going back. Meng learned that Rong Yi was looking for someone to make dumplings, so he took the opportunity to talk to Rong Yi, and asked Rong Yi to give Mr. Gu Shaoan something to do.

The old man is nearly [-] years old, no matter where he is placed, he is an old man. He should have spent his old age in peace, but he has already stayed in Bayland for twelve or three years, which is one of the longest time in Bayland. one.

He has a big square face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is upright. Rong Yi learned something about the old man's past from Lao Meng. He is a retired policeman who tried to get revenge and entered Berland.

Revenge was attempted, but Gu Xiaoan was not angry or angry, and he was trapped in Bayland without complaining or lamenting the injustice of the world.He often laughed loudly and said, "I smashed the root of that turtle's grandson, and I can only use fake ones in the future. Hahaha, it's even more uncomfortable to suffer and die."

"My fingers are so thick, I don't know if I can do these delicate things." Gu Xiaoan, who was dressed, looked at her big and thick fingers, holding a small spoon for digging stuffing, and felt so awkward.

Gu Ruyi said disapprovingly, "I used to have a friend who had chilblains on his fingers. The radish was so thick, but he was still flexible when making dumplings. He made them much better than me."

He was talking about that friend from the north who loves to eat dumplings. Once he worked in the ice and snow for two or three days with his bare hands to repair the equipment outside the base. After returning to the base, his hands became bear paws. Then he developed chilblains, red and swollen like shiny radishes.Just like this | Swollen and itchy hands are still busy making dumplings. There is no meat, so I use soft couch cucumbers, eggs provided every three days, and dried shrimps that Rong Yi has treasured for an unknown amount of time to make cucumber dried shrimp dumplings , It's really fragrant.

After reminiscing, Rong Yi found sadly that he was reminiscing again, but it was just eating and cooking a big dumpling, why did he have to reminisce so much? ! !

"Frostbite?" Gu Shaoan was puzzled.

Rong Yi grinned in embarrassment, maybe there will be no chilblains in the future, he didn't know and he didn't dare to ask.

"The soldiers on our expedition were not treated in time, and sometimes they would suffer from frostbite." Ulysses walked into the cafeteria, carrying two slaughtered chickens in his hands, which were used to make chicken soup.

Eating dumplings with a bowl of good soup, it is very comfortable to eat such a bowl in the cold winter.

Gu Shaoan understood, and was full of admiration for Ulysses and Rong Yi's friends, "So, I used to live in the first star of the Storm Star Field, Niuins, where it was quite cold, but I never had frostbite. When we arrived in Bayland, we moved with Nuanyang, and Xiaomeng took care of us even if we didn’t move this year, so I’ve never seen frostbite.”

"I have lived for so long, and I have never seen it."

"It's the first time I've heard of it."

"When I was young, I heard the old people say that I will live and learn when I am old, and it is true."

Others chimed in.

Everyone was dressed, Rong Yi saw Mei Yiyi out of the corner of his eye, and immediately shouted, "Come here one by one, teach grandparents how to make dumplings, when will the dumplings come out, when will we have lunch, cabbage meat for lunch today Stuffed dumplings and chicken soup."

Put green cabbage moss in the chicken soup, drink a bowl in winter, it is so beautiful.
