talk about wine

The lunch menu was mainly vegetarian, and Meng Chuxi took three eggs and prepared to use them to fry wild onions.She hasn't tasted this dish for many years, and it tastes very different.

As for shepherd's purse, she thought about buying a piece of meat and making dumplings for Zhou Qingwu.Because tomorrow is the 16th birthday of her little girl, and there are not many dumplings here, she wants her to try something new, and shepherd's purse dumplings taste very good.

The rice is still multi-grain rice, but the food is much better. There is still lard at home, and rapeseed oil is not expensive, so there is no need to save too much at home.

Cut the handful of wild onions into sections, beat the eggs and pour them into the hot oil. The golden egg liquid immediately solidified and swelled into small bubbles, and the egg fragrance overflowed immediately.

Eggs don’t need to be fried for too long, break them up with a spatula and put them out first, otherwise the eggs will not be tender after the heat is over.Put a little more oil in the pot, put the scallions into the oil and stir-fry, the whole kitchen is filled with the aroma of the wild onions, the green and shiny wild onions look very appetizing, then pour the eggs into the stir-fry and add seasonings, A simple serving of scrambled eggs with wild onions is out of the pan, with golden yellow and green color matching, full of color, fragrance and taste.

The easiest way to make duck foot board is to remove the leaves and fry it with vegetables. There is no fresh meat at home, but there are still some lard residues. When frying, add lard residues to enhance the freshness and flavor.

Of course, the highlight is the cold salad with folded ear roots. Although it was intended to tease the little girl, Meng Chuxi was making this cold salad with folded ear roots with great care.She felt the most regretful thing about not having chili peppers. She could only use ginger and garlic to make it spicy, adding old mature vinegar, a little sesame oil, and salt. When making it, she could smell the Zheer root, which made Meng Chuxi turn her head.

With a little sin in my heart, I looked at the Zheergen on the plate, um, there are not many, and if I can't eat it, I won't waste it.

Both of them are very frugal on weekdays. It is enough to fry two dishes and add Zhe Ergen.

After serving the meal, Meng Chuxi was full of anticipation for the little girl to try the cold salad.Her eyes were too eager, and Zhou Qingwu's mind was so clear that he didn't know what this person who suddenly became ill was thinking.But she believed that Meng Chuxi would not harm herself, she was probably just teasing herself.Although I was a little apprehensive, who made me want to, let her succeed and coax her.

However, Meng Chuxi still put a lot of thought into this Zheergen, whether it smells or looks good, after Bai Shengsheng's Zheergen is accompanied by sauce, it seems that the taste is not bad even if it is ignored in memory.

Picking up the chopsticks, he picked up one and put it in his mouth without changing his face after a pause.The rich and unique smell immediately swept through the mouth, but Zhou Qingwu didn't think it was unpleasant, but it was a bit strong, so he couldn't help but blinked his eyes.

Although the taste is heavy, it is unexpectedly tender and crisp when you bite it with your mouth open. After getting used to that taste, the taste is really not bad.Chewing carefully, the white and tender zheer root is suitable for the sour and salty sauce, which is very appetizing.

Meng Chuxi kept staring at her, watching the little girl chew slowly, with an expression on her face as if she was eating.

"How does Qingwu taste?" She asked carefully.

Zhou Qingwu didn't gesture or move, just stared at Meng Chuxi with a pair of eyes, those eyes were moist and pure, inexplicably pitiful and aggrieved, as if he was accusing her of tricking her into eating this thing.

Originally, Meng Chuxi was just teasing the little girl, and she wanted to let her try it. Seeing her like this, she immediately felt distressed, and said quickly: "Okay, okay, if it doesn't taste good, we won't eat it. If we don't eat it, we don't want to spit it out. "

Zhou Qingwu shook his head, swallowed, and took another mouthful of rice.When he looked up, he showed a mischievous smile, and stretched out his hand to gesture: it is very delicious, crisp and tender.

After she finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks again. She really got used to the taste and it tasted addictive.

Meng Chuxi saw that she was eating deliciously, the crisp sound when chewing was a bit tempting, her eyes fell on the folded ears, and her throat slid a few times.Because she doesn't like the taste of zheergen, she has never tried it, and she didn't even eat that classmate Strong Amway. Is it really delicious?

Zhou Qingwu captured the small expression on her face clearly, and the dimples appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she pretended to be very serious, innocent and kind, and gestured: "It's very crispy, tender and refreshing, do you try it?"

She took a serving chopstick and brought a small piece to Meng Chuxi's mouth, her eyes full of anticipation.Meng Chuxi sniffed it, ignoring the smell of Zheergen. The sauce smelled pretty good. Such a small taste was somewhat but tolerable, so she mustered up the courage to bite in and chewed.

Crunchy and tender is indeed crispy and tender, but a strong smell of folded ear roots rushed straight to his forehead. Meng Chuxi felt that his celestial spirit cover was about to be lifted, his face turned green immediately, and he turned his head and went out to spit it out.

Zhou Qingwu didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, he panicked and was about to chase after him, then he quickly turned his head and scooped up water to rinse her mouth.

Meng Chuxi drank a few sips of water and rinsed her mouth several times before getting rid of the smell. Seeing the little girl's worried face, she quickly waved her hands, blushing and said in embarrassment: "I'm fine, I just can't stand the smell. It smells better than coriander. And it makes people get on top." Thinking of these two smells, she couldn't help shivering.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Qingwu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Back at the dinner table, Zhou Qingwu moved Zhe Er Gen to himself, and directed two other dishes: You eat this.

Meng Chuxi looked at Zhou Qingwu eating the folded ear root without changing his expression, and was filled with admiration.I quickly picked up a piece of scrambled egg with wild onion to suppress the taste. The egg is tender and fragrant with the wild onion.Originally, I wanted Zhou Qingwu to try dark cooking, but she fell in love with it.

Although she hated the smell of zheergen, but seeing that Zhou Qingwu liked it, she thought about digging some in that area and bringing it back for her to eat.Zheergen clears heat and relieves fire and is also rich in nutrition. Eating some is good for the body, and she likes it.

"If you like to eat, you can dig some more in a few days." Meng Chuxi said with a smile.

Zhou Qingwu was slightly taken aback: You are afraid of this smell.

"It's fine if I don't eat it. I'll make it for you to eat alone. After the leaves are dried and made into tea, there will be no such smell. It's a good drink in summer."

Zhou Qingwu's heart was very warm, and he looked at her and smiled.All along, Meng Chuxi has never been picky about food, and will eat everything. This is the first time she has seen her reject a kind of food so much, but it is the first time she eats Houttuynia cordata as a cold salad. She doesn't know how Meng Chuxi knows so much.

Because of Zhou Qingwu's birthday, Meng Chuxi went to the town early the next morning, but Zhou Qingwu didn't know that she had already asked Aunt Liu about her birthday, so when she went to the town, Zhou Qingwu thought it was to sell medicinal materials.

Life is not particularly affluent now, and with the little housekeeper Zhou Qingwu in charge, Meng Chuxi has no chance to buy her a gift, so she decided to let the little girl have a good meal and celebrate.

Passing Su Butcher's meat stall, Meng Chuxi slowed down and took a look, Zhou Qingwu stopped immediately after noticing it.After thinking about it, they hadn't bought meat since the first lunar month, and the smoked meat at home hadn't tasted good yet. Thinking of this, she smiled and greeted Butcher Su, signaling that she wanted to buy meat.

Butcher Su had a deep impression on them, and immediately picked up the meat on the chopping board: "Does the little girl want to be fatter or thinner?"

Zhou Qingwu looked at Meng Chuxi, Meng Chuxi pointed to one of the crotch, and said, "Be thinner, just draw a knife from here, and buy fifty cents."

Butcher Su responded, dropped the knife in his hand, swiped it down, and let them see: "How are you doing, are you satisfied?"

This pig is very fat, but this cut has a lot of lean meat, less fat but very fat, very good meat.

"Boss Su started, there is no dissatisfaction, it is very good."

Butcher Su smiled and put the meat on the scale neatly: "Ms. Meng is too good at talking, haha, you look at five taels a catty. If you have too much, you will count fifty taels."

Meng Chuxi thanked her, butcher Su quickly handed the meat to her, and said with a smile: "You two girls live a splendid life, I can hear people from your village talking about you here, it's not easy Ah. You two girls are too thin, you need to eat more meat to make up for it."

Meng Chuxi glanced at Zhou Qingwu, nodded with a smile: "I want to make up for it, thank you Boss Su."

Meng Chuxi talked to Boss Su one by one, making Butcher Su feel better physically and mentally, and watched the two leave happily.

It was already noon when I got home, and it was obviously too late to prepare things.It happened that there was meat at noon, so Zhou Qingwu cut a small piece of fried water celery.The water celery with meat is very fresh and tender, and has more water than celery. The unique aroma becomes more delicious as you eat it, and it happens to be hungry, so the two of them are quite satisfied with eating.

Seeing that there was so much meat left, Zhou Qingwu gestured and said: How do you want to cook it?

Meng Chuxi smiled slightly, and glanced at the shepherd's purse that had been tidied aside: "We will make shepherd's purse dumplings tonight."

Zhou Qingwu was a little stunned. Dumplings are something ordinary people can't afford, not to mention meat stuffing. Flour is usually very rare. The two bought the five liters of noodles last time. Go back to rolling the dough by hand.

Dumplings have thin skins and lots of stuffing, and they are rare and delicious. When her parents were still alive, Zhou Qingwu could eat dumplings made by her mother several times a year, but now she hasn't seen any dumplings for three years.

I still have some savings at home, but after the Chinese New Year, I have spent a lot of money. In addition, I have to save it to buy seeds, and the expenses are not small. Eating dumplings is indeed a luxury.Although she was a little distressed, seeing Meng Chuxi's words were full of happiness, she also smiled, nodded, and went to help with the meeting.

Rubbing his face and looking back at Meng Chuxi, Zhou Qingwu felt sad again, and when he lowered his head, there was no smile on his face.She was so useless, Meng Chuxi just wanted to eat dumplings, but he still had to count the money, make it for her under pressure, and even said to support her.

It's just that when she bowed her head to self-disgust and reflect, she didn't know that Meng Chuxi, who was cutting meat, was also looking at her, with a gentle and helpless expression.This little girl of hers is really too sensitive. She didn't live a rich life since she was a child, but she never cared about food and clothing like this, and her grandfather didn't suffer her either.But she has also met many poor people, and she can better understand Zhou Qingwu's mood.

She knew that Zhou Qingwu's distress was not stinginess, but because she was afraid that it would be too extravagant and there would be no next meal.After Meng Chuxi was distressed, she was moved in a different way. Such a frugal person, just because she was there, forced himself to do his best to satisfy her within his ability, so why didn't he let her hurt so much.It seems that she has to work harder. The family's savings of thirty or forty years does not have a stable income, which cannot give Zhou Qingwu enough sense of security.

Both of them are full of worries, thinking about how to work hard to support each other, and the work in their hands is almost done.

Add oil to the shepherd’s purse and mix well to lock in the moisture. Mince the meat and add minced ginger and garlic, stir to tighten the tendons, then add an egg, and then add salt after mixing well. The meat filling is juicy and tender, and the dumplings are delicious.

But rolling the skin was difficult for Meng Chuxi. She was only responsible for making dumplings, and she never touched the skin.

She looked at Zhou Qingwu, and acted softly: "I don't know how to roll the skin, Qingwu, you have to help me."

Zhou Qingwu couldn't stand her acting like a baby, and nodded with a blushing face.When the dough was proofed, Meng Chuxi secretly mixed a ball of relatively hard noodles, and later she was going to make longevity noodles for the little girl, um, there shouldn't be too much noodles, or she wouldn't be able to eat the dumplings.Meng Chuxi looked and saw that there were not many stuffings, it should be able to make dozens of dumplings, let the little girl eat more dumplings, if she can't finish the noodles, she will be fine.

In the kitchen, Zhou Qingwu's subordinates were working very fast, and after a while, dumpling wrappers appeared one after another.Meng Chuxi admired the whole body. It stands to reason that Zhou Qingwu didn't have many opportunities to eat white noodles, but the way he rolled the noodles was very skillful.

After admiring, she couldn't help asking Zhou Qingwu: "Qingwu, why are you so good at doing this?"

Zhou Qingwu stopped, and told Meng Chuxi with gestures: My father is from the north, and he likes to eat these.My mother is very good at crafting and taught me.

At that time, the conditions of the family were good, and in fact there were servants to do it, but mother and father had a good relationship, so mother specially found someone to learn how to cook it for father.At that time, she always followed when she thought it was interesting, so her mother taught her.He said that if they get married in the future, they can make it for her husband to eat.

Ever since the incident happened, she had no hope of marrying a good family. Ordinary girls at the age of [-] or [-] were married, and many of them got married and had children. She was the only one who made others avoid her.Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Meng Chuxi, and now she can do it for her, which makes her much happier than any husband.

Meng Chuxi didn't know that the little girl was thinking so much, making dumplings neatly with her head down.Making dumplings is a patient job. When the dumplings are ready, the sun outside will gradually set.

Zhou Qingwu lit a fire in front of the stove, and Meng Chuxi hurriedly rolled out the dough. Although it looked ugly, it didn't matter now.She doesn't know how to roll out a noodle, otherwise such longevity noodles would be the best.Since it is longevity noodles, it must be thin and long. When Meng Chuxi cut it with a knife, Zhou Qingwu saw it and was a little puzzled: Do you still want to make noodles?

Meng Chuxi looked up at her, smiling happily: "Of course I have to eat noodles for my birthday."

Meng Chuxi didn't say much, but Zhou Qingwu was taken aback. It took her a long time to realize it, but she couldn't believe it, so she reached out and pointed at Meng Chuxi with some hesitation.

Meng Chuxi shook her head: "I can't even remember how old I am. How can I remember my birthday? There is a little girl who is 16 years old. Today, I have to eat a good meal. I also want to give her a bowl of longevity noodles. But noodles If there are too many dumplings, I won’t be able to eat the dumplings, I will only make a little of this, and I will eat with you, the point of tonight is to let you eat dumplings."

After she finished speaking, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, because the little girl was already crying.Forgetting that there was still flour on her hands, Meng Chuxi hurriedly wiped the little girl's tears, leaving a white mark on her face, which made Meng Chuxi feel distressed and wanted to laugh, so she quickly coaxed her: "Don't cry, Don't cry, you are a birthday star today, it's not good to cry."

Zhou Qingwu had tried his best to endure it, but he couldn't bear it anymore.No wonder Meng Chuxi was in a hurry to go to town today, and bought so much meat to make dumplings.

She didn't even dare to think about her birthday. In the past, when her birthday passed, Aunt Liu remembered it and told her that she remembered it.An orphan girl who can't even eat enough to eat has any qualifications to celebrate her birthday.So she didn't remember her birthday at all, how could she have imagined that Meng Chuxi knew about it, and was busy making longevity noodles and making dumplings for herself.

Tears fell down uncontrollably, she couldn't bear it anymore, she turned her head and held back her tears, but was pulled over by Meng Chuxi, who raised her hand to scare her: "Don't cry, if you cry again, I will continue to wipe it for you." Tears, you see you are all little cats now, and they are all my handprints."

Zhou Qingwu tried hard to look at her hands while weeping, they were really full of flour, he felt ashamed and wanted to laugh at the moment, and finally the dimples came out again, and he laughed through tears.

"That's good, our Qingwu still looks good when he smiles." She teased her like a child, wiped off the flour with her sleeve, but couldn't help pinching her cheek, smiling very happily , ran to continue cutting her face.

Naturally, flour was smeared on his cheeks, Zhou Qingwu's eyes were still red, but he lowered his head and laughed again.Then he sat and looked at Meng Chuxi with a smirk, without wiping his face, which made Meng Chuxi cute.

The noodles also took a lot of thought. Meng Chuxi cut the shredded pork and put it in the pot together, added vegetable leaves and put it out of the pot together, sprinkled with chopped green onion, it was very fragrant.

The next step is to cook the dumplings. I don’t know what kind of eating method Zhou Qingwu likes. Meng Chuxi boiled the dumplings and then prepared dipping water. If you like clear soup, you can eat dumplings and drink soup. If you like vinegar and garlic, you can dip them in.

Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu shared a bowl of longevity noodles, but the little girl insisted on giving Meng Chuxi the shredded pork in her own bowl.

Meng Chuxi avoided it, and pointed to the dumplings that had floated in the pot: "There is meat everywhere, and I will eat it later. You are a birthday star today, so you must have special treatment. Giving me shredded meat is not celebrating your birthday. No, don't give it to me."

After hearing this, Zhou Qingwu thought for a while, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.

Zhou Qingwu ate half a bowl of noodles in the bowl, and the sound of boiling water in the pot next to his ears made the tumbling sound, and the dumplings that rose up and down were like the happiness bursting out of her heart, full and warm.
