rebirth through food

Pork shepherd's purse dumplings

Take out the dumplings and cook the rest in the pot. Ye Xiaofeng went to the garden and picked two cucumbers, patted them loosely with the back of a knife and cut them obliquely, sprinkled some fine salt and patted a few cloves of garlic. Sprinkle some after you come back and it will be a good cold dish.

When the second pot of dumplings came out, Lan Er also came back with wine and vinegar. The family sat on the kang table and started eating dumplings around the kang table.

Ye Xiaofeng poured a glass of wine for Ye's father, poured vinegar into everyone's bowls, and poured some into cucumbers.

Father Ye took a sip, "This wine is good wine!"

Lan'er chuckled, "Brother said that we have a little extra money now, and we can make a pot of good wine for dad. Not only this wine, but also this vinegar is the best vinegar, and these two things cost a total of twelve renminbi."

"Huh? Did you spend so much money?" The cup in Father Ye's hand immediately stood up, a little reluctant to drink it.

"Father, you can drink." Ye Xiaofeng smiled, this father is really used to hard life, and he can't bear to drink wine that costs only a few pennies. "We don't drink it every day. If we eat such good dumplings today, wouldn't it be a pity if we don't drink some wine?"

"It's true, it's true." Father Ye also felt relieved, "Son, you have a drink too."

"Father, I'm a child..." Ye Xiaofeng actually likes to drink, and he can drink it, but he has to put it down anyway.But he refused, but his eyes couldn't help but look towards the jug.

"You brat!" Father Ye laughed loudly, "Don't go get the cup!"

Ye Xiaofeng hopped off the kang and washed a small wine cup and brought it up. He poured half of the wine cup and took a sip.

A hot and choking smell rushed straight into his mouth and nose. Ye Xiaofeng had never drunk such a bad wine before, so he spit it out in one gulp.

"Hahahaha..." Father Ye burst into tears as he laughed.In the past few days, the youngest son looked like a young adult, which made him feel quite restrained, but fortunately, a sip of wine allowed him to reveal his true nature as a child, and Father Ye regained the feeling of being a father.

"Father!" Ye Xiaofeng yelled resentfully, not only did Father Ye not stop, but he laughed even more happily.It was only then that Ye Xiaofeng discovered that this seemingly honest father actually had such a side.

It's not that he doesn't know how to drink, but the wine is too choking, not only choking but also very spicy, and he knows it's not a good wine after drinking it.And this kind of bad wine is actually the best wine. It seems that the wine making technology in this world is not very good. Good wine should smell fragrant, soft in the mouth, and have a strong aftertaste.Ye Xiaofeng's mind was running fast, if this wine could be brewed even better...

"Okay, dad, don't laugh anymore, let's eat dumplings." Seeing that Ye Xiaofeng hadn't spoken for a long time, Ye's father stopped laughing slowly, and gave the brothers and sisters the hot dumplings on the plate, "There are so many dumplings, you must eat them." full!"

Although the brothers and sisters ate a few pancakes in the morning, they were already starving after doing so much work in the morning, so they picked up the dumplings and ate them without saying anything.

The pork oil is fragrant, and the shepherd's purse is tender, and the juice is already dripping out of this dumpling as soon as you bite into it.The skin is thin, the stuffing is big, delicious and juicy. One bite of delicious food makes people want to swallow it with their tongues.

"Brother, these dumplings are really delicious." Lan'er ate a dozen or so before finding time to say something to Ye Xiaofeng.Seeing that Ye Xiaofeng and He didn't even raise their heads at all, they just hummed twice in response, Father Ye took a mouthful of dumplings and a mouthful of wine, and he was enjoying himself too.

The shepherd's purse is tender and juicy, the pork is fat and delicious, and the combination of the two tastes wonderful. Not to mention foodies like Ye Xiaofeng, even Ye's father, an adult, and Lan'er, a little girl, eat together to their stomachs.

After the family of three had finished their meal, no one was bothered to move, and they all sat on the kang head, half leaning and half leaning. There were more than 100 dumplings, Father Ye ate forty of them, and Ye Xiaofeng didn't eat less, even though Lan'er had a small appetite, he ate more than 20.Of these more than 100 dumplings, there was only a shallow plate left, not even twenty.

"Lan'er, are you full?" Ye Xiaofeng lay on his back on the bed and spoke weakly. He felt his stomach was hard, and he estimated that this meal would last until the next morning.

"Brother, I regret it now. Alas!" Lan'er sighed. "If I had known earlier, I would have eaten two less. It would be better to save it for tomorrow, and it would save me from being so uncomfortable now."

"Me too..." Ye Xiaofeng regretted it infinitely at this moment. There are so many delicious things in the world, and a dumpling made of pork and shepherd's purse made him stay like this. How hopeless he is!

After lying down for a long time, the siblings got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Ye Xiaofeng covered the remaining half of the stuffing and put it in a cool place.

It was already afternoon at this time, and the family had enough food and drinks and took a nap.

It's rare for Ye Xiaofeng not to enter that strange dream during this afternoon nap, but instead fell into a deep sleep all afternoon, which probably has something to do with being tired for a long time.

Ye Xiaofeng didn't wake up until evening, rubbed his eyes, got off the kang and went to the outer room.Obviously I was not full from lunch, but when I woke up, my stomach was growling with hunger. I really didn't know where the food I ate was digested.

"Lan'er, are you cooking yet?" Ye Xiaofeng saw what Lan'er was doing at the door with her head bowed, and walked over clutching her stomach.

"Brother, are you awake?" Lan'er was sitting on the small bench next to the door, sewing shoes. After walking for several hours today, not only was there a hole in the sole of the shoe, but also a big hole in the upper of the shoe.

Father Ye bought this shoe for her during the Girl's Day last year, unexpectedly, no matter how careful she was, the shoe was still worn out.Lan'er only found out that the shoes were broken after taking a nap, and she almost shed tears of distress.She has put in a lot of soles, and the uppers are also right, but they are all blue and black uppers, and her pair is pink and beautiful.

At the moment, Lan'er is carefully mending with colored thread, hoping to cover up the hole.Seeing Ye Xiaofeng get up, he quickly hid the shoes in his hands behind his back.

Ye Xiaofeng loves her, she knows it, and she can also think that seeing her shoes are worn out, she will definitely buy them for her, and what she is most afraid of at the moment is that Ye Xiaofeng will spend money on her.Now that the family is short of money, how can she spend money recklessly.

"Lan'er, what are you hiding?" Ye Xiaofeng looked at Lan'er's movements strangely.

"Brother, my father and I have eaten. My father is visiting Uncle Zhang's house. I will serve you a meal."

Ye Xiaofeng nodded, didn't get on the kang, and moved a bench to sit by the stove.Lan'er went into the room to put away her things, brought a bowl of hot soup, steamed dumplings and a few hot biscuits.

"Brother, eat quickly."

"Hey." Ye Xiaofeng responded, took a sip of soup and started eating.The dumplings were left over from noon, and they were re-steamed in the pot at night. The taste was not as good as that at noon, and even the dumpling wrappers became a little bad.Ye Xiaofeng smacked his lips, he knew he would get up early and fry the dumplings.

I hurriedly ate all the dumplings and soup, and ate another sesame seed cake before putting down my chopsticks.Ye Xiaofeng touched his stomach, as if he had eaten too much...

Just thinking about hearing Father Ye greeting at the door, the siblings ran out quickly, it turned out that Father Ye had borrowed a table and bench from the next door.Zhang Da, the son of the fifth aunt next door, is a carpenter and the best craftsman in the nearby villages. There are many people who ask him to do work, so the family always makes more.

Zhang Da's mother and son are good people. In the early years, the fifth aunt of Zhang's family had a cold illness, and thanks to the mother of the Ye family's brothers and sisters, she was cured, so Zhang Da's family treated the Ye family as a benefactor.
