my home is in the northeast

166. How greedy are you?

"Don't eat too much, eat dumplings at night." Zhang Yuhe reminded.

"Okay." Rong Ziyan smiled and left with the tray.

"Xiaohe and Xiaoyan have such a good relationship." Aunt Sun said with a smile, "Shall I stew fish tonight?"

"No, I want to use this to make dumplings." Zhang Yuhe laughed. “Dumplings stuffed with mackerel are delicious.”

"Eat mackerel stuffing, okay, I've eaten it once before, and it's delicious." Aunt Sun said with a smile. "Whatever you want, I will choose the dishes."

"Chives and eggs, sauerkraut and fish, just these three kinds. I don't know if Mom likes them." Zhang Yuhe looked at Chi Junping inquiringly.

"Don't worry, she loves to eat whatever you do." Chi Junping said sourly. "Aunt Sun, choose leeks, I can't take it anymore."

Choosing vegetables one by one, Chi Junping felt that he was going crazy.He would rather wash the sauerkraut like he did just now.

"Then help me chop the minced meat." Zhang Yuhe pointed to the pork belly next to him.

"...It's not that there are meat fillings...why do you have to chop it by hand?" Chi Junping didn't understand Zhang Yuhe's psychology. He didn't use convenient tools, so what's the use of inventing tools?

"You know shit..."

"Xiaoping, this minced meat is more delicious than those made by machine." Zhang Yuhe didn't bother to talk to him, but it was Aunt Sun who was more patient and gave Chi Junping some knowledge.

"How delicious is it? Then I'll chop it up." Ever since Chi Junping got mixed up with Zhang Yuhe, Sun Yong and others, his hidden foodie heart was opened.

In the past, he was similar to Rong Dai. He was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and he had never experienced bitterness, so naturally he didn't know what sweetness is.

The food that others think is like a big meal is actually just a daily dish in his eyes.

I have never suffered, nor have I been hungry.Every day when it was time for meals, before he was hungry, the meals were served on the table waiting for him to eat.

In this case, his eating is the same as dealing with errands, it doesn't matter if it tastes good or bad.

But after hanging out with Zhang Yuhe and the others in the dormitory, he no longer had food delivered to him, and instead ate takeaway boxed meals with Sun Yong and the others every day, or went out to eat with them.Before the exam, Zhang Yuhe was so busy catching up with classes that he didn't even have time to eat. The others naturally learned from their role models and didn't bother to go out to eat.

When I have plenty of time, I order a takeaway, and when the time is too tight, I go to the cafeteria and buy something when I see that there are few people at the window, even if it is a sesame seed burger or something like that.

Although Chi Junping doesn't have to take the exam, eating alone is boring for him, so he helps to go to the cafeteria and line up first every day.

It was precisely because he had achieved this step that Sun Yong and the others, including Gu Yuming, gradually accepted him.

But because of this, Chi Junping finally realized what starvation is.Especially the feeling of queuing up hungry is really uncomfortable.

From then on, Chi Junping felt the taste of eating.

Having eaten the dishes made by Zhang Yuhe these two days, Chi Junping really envied Zhang Yuhe from the bottom of his heart.Although these things looked worthless, they were much more delicious than what he usually ate.Now as soon as Zhang Yuhe said that the chopped meat was delicious, he agreed to chop the meat without saying a word.

Under Zhang Yuhe's guidance from time to time, Chi Junping gradually found the feeling, "It's okay, it's not difficult."

"..." Zhang Yuhe glanced at the other party, "You will chop the fish later."

"Come on, who is afraid of who!"

"Xiaoping knows how to work." Rong Zhiyan stopped after eating some sauced meat, and it was enough to satisfy his appetite. There was even better food waiting for him in the evening.

The task of chopping minced meat was given to the two brothers, and Aunt Sun went to make noodles.When the dough has been kneaded repeatedly until it is smooth and white, the minced meat is also chopped.

A part of the meat filling is reserved for mixing with sauerkraut, and the other part is to be put in the mackerel meat, so that the stuffing is delicious. Add some leeks, and the delicious mackerel stuffing is ready.

"You all go out, I'll just make dumplings." Aunt Sun said.

"That's okay, we can make dumplings together." Zhang Yuhe said.

"Yeah, I can do it too, let's do it together."

"I'm here too, what am I doing?" Rong Dai asked standing at the kitchen door.

"This..." Zhang Yuhe saw that Rong Dai deliberately changed into a relatively plain dress and stood at the door, imagining what she could do, "... Waiting to eat?"

"Hahahahahahaha..." Chi Junping laughed exaggeratedly, Zhang Yuhe and Rong Dai both had black lines.

Zhang Yuhe kicked him from below, "Go out and make dumplings."

"I don't know how to pack." Chi Junping said gloomily while holding the stuffing.

"Then still laughing at others?" Zhang Yuhe thought that he could not teach them because of his bad temper, so he entrusted this difficult task to Aunt Rong Ziyan, and took care of it himself.

Rong Dai said that she can't do it, but actually she cooks several times a year. It can only be said that she is not very proficient and makes the dumplings slowly, but the dumplings are still very good-looking.

Chi Junping is a pure one who doesn't know how to put more stuffing, so it's full.But when I wrapped it, I realized that I couldn't pinch it, so I pulled it down again, and finally made it rotten, and I still couldn't pinch it.

Rong Zunyan taught him a few times but he didn't see the situation getting any better. No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't help the veins popping out. In the end, he could only take a deep breath, "Go and play, wait to eat."

After asking him to pack it, he has no interest in eating.

Chi Junping put down the rotten dumplings and sat aside.

Without Chi Junping getting in the way, the speed of making dumplings increased instantly.

Both Rong Xiyan and Aunt Sun were making dumplings very fast. They each occupied a curtain, one was in charge of making mackerel stuffing, the other was in charge of making sauerkraut, and Rong Dai was taking her time beside Rong Yiyan. Wrapped tightly, anyway, she was just joining in the fun.

Rong Ziyan and Aunt Sun made dumplings quickly, and Zhang Yuhe was not slow in rolling out dumpling wrappers, so it was no problem for one person to feed three people.

If it’s all Rong Dai’s appetite, they can pack dozens of them and it’s enough for the whole family to eat. The key point is that the three of them are all like rice buckets. Among them, Zhang Yuhe is really good at eating, because he consumes a lot of energy every day exercising. , and Chi Junping is purely an idiot.

The sauerkraut was wrapped almost like a curtain, so Aunt Sun went to make the last stuffing with chives and three delicacies. Although the shrimps were cut, the leeks were not yet cut.

Rong Xiyan wrapped the last bit of sauerkraut stuffing before continuing to wrap his mackerel stuffing.

"Xiaohe, how much do you want to pack in total?"

"Let's pack more, it's good to have fried dumplings in the morning."

"Fried leftover dumplings?" Chi Junping never ate leftovers.

"The fried dumplings are delicious, I'll make them tomorrow morning." Rong Ziyan said that the days of living alone outside are definitely treasures in life, "Add clear soup or porridge, and you will be full."

"I've been hungry lately..." Chi Junping rubbed his belly, "I think I might gain weight."

The three kinds of fillings were finished quickly, Zhang Yuhe and Rong Ziyan were in charge of finishing, while Aunt Sun went to cook the dumplings.Chi Junping hurriedly followed him to the kitchen to learn how to cook dumplings.

"Mom, today's dumplings are all seasoned by me, you should eat more." Zhang Yuhe just heard Chi Junping say that Rong Dai eats no more than five dumplings in a meal.For Zhang Yuhe, this was like cat food. Five dumplings were not enough to fit his teeth, forty or fifty were more or less the same.

So the last time he was a guest in Rong Dai's small courtyard, he really didn't have enough to eat.

Rong Ziyan wiped the dining table clean, cleared away all the pots and pans, Zhang Yuhe was not idle, took two ends of garlic and slowly peeled the garlic, then smashed it into mashed garlic, mixed with a little light soy sauce, vinegar and a few drops of sesame oil Blend into a bowl of dipping sauce.I asked Aunt Sun for some fine chili noodles mixed with granular chili noodles, sprinkled with a small teaspoon of salt, and put a little crushed peanuts.Pour oil into the hot pan and throw an anise in it. Other spices such as a few bay leaves, fennel, grass fruit, cardamom, etc., add a few slices of old ginger, and add the oil from the whole shallot. Pour the hot pepper on the pepper surface, and stir gently while pouring, so as not to be opaque up and down.

The aroma from the chili frying immediately occupied the entire kitchen. Although it smelled spicy and made me want to sneeze, the smell was really fragrant.

Chi Junping shook his nose frequently, "This is too fragrant. I really admire you, brother, you can make so many tricks with a chili oil."

"It's all home-cooked food. I can't eat it without chili." Zhang Yuhe smiled, and put the bowl of chili oil on the dining table.

Chi Junping also came out, sniffing the scent deeply.

"Stop cooking dumplings?"

"Brother is watching the pot inside." Chi Junping looked at the chili oil and refused to move it.

"...a piece of chili oil makes you look greedy, how greedy are you?" Zhang Yuhe turned around and went back to the kitchen, cut a plate of sauced meat and the like that hadn't been cut at noon, and took it out.

"Is it still delicious when it's cold?" Chi Junping used to eat cold dishes, but after eating hot sauced meat just out of the pan, he felt that eating while it's hot is the correct way to eat.As a result, Zhang Yuhe took it out and ate it cold again.

"There are ways to eat hot, and there are ways to eat cold." Zhang Yuhe brought over the bowl of vinegar and garlic sauce he had made just now, and poured a layer on the sauced meat, "Try it."

"I haven't eaten yet..." Chi Junping glanced at Rong Dai.

"What are you pretending to do, as if you stopped stealing your mouth." Zhang Yuhe scolded with a smile, "Try it."

Naturally, Chi Junping was just talking, he picked up the chopsticks in his hand, picked a piece of fat elbow meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Both vinegar and garlic juice have a pungent taste, which can stimulate people's appetite, that is, as the saying goes, people have an appetite.Chi Junping was tired of eating at noon, but after eating this piece, it was so beautiful that he wanted to wag his tail again.

"The dumplings are here!" Chi Junping served the dumplings, "Hey, you're stealing again, kid."

"Where did I eat it? I obviously ate it blatantly." Chi Junping took another piece of meat.

"Which one was cooked first?" Zhang Yuhe was busy with his own business, and didn't pay attention to what stuffing was cooked first.

"It's cooked on two stoves together. This one is three delicacies and sauerkraut. I still have to serve it."

The cooking speed is much faster when the pots on both sides are cooked together. In addition, the food cools slowly in summer. When the three kinds of fillings are cooked, the whole family can sit around.

Chi Junping had almost eaten one-third of the meat on the plate, and Rong Dai looked at her youngest son frequently, "Why do I feel like you haven't eaten enough before?"

"Mom, brother, let's eat." Zhang Yuhe put the last plate of dumplings on the table and said with a smile, "Try my handicrafts. It's actually the first time I've made this mackerel filling, but fish is often eaten in summer and autumn in my hometown. Dumplings."
