The ancient life of a master craftsman

Brother Qing turned his head and found that Yunli was holding something to look at. He leaned over to take a look, and immediately took the thing in Yunli's hand back. He moved very quickly, as if this little thing was very important to him.

Yunli watched him put the things back into his arms, with worry in his eyes, "Brother Qing..."

Brother Qing went up to hold his arm, "Don't you want to dig wild vegetables? Hurry up, we'll dig them all up in a while."

He dragged him and said to Brother Xue and the three of them, "Duoduo, Brother Xue, let's compare and see who digs the most wild vegetables, okay?"

Duoduo is very competitive, as soon as he said it, he immediately took up the challenge, crossed his waist, "Competition is comparison, if you lose, please eat candy!"

"Okay! Come on, from now on!" Brother Qing bluffed, as if it was no different from the past.

Yunli knew that he didn't want to talk about it, and she didn't want to force him, so she could only keep her worries in her heart and play with them.

After digging up wild vegetables, they didn't go back to their respective homes. There weren't many wild vegetables, so they just got together and tasted something new at noon.Seeing that they brought back a lot of wild vegetables, Li Enbai remembered the dumplings stuffed with wild vegetables that he had heard about in the Milky Way, so he said he wanted to eat dumplings.

Yunli went to the butcher and cut two catties of fat and thin pork. The wild vegetable they brought back today is a kind of wild vegetable called big-leaf grass. tasty.

Cut off the fat meat and put it in the pot to refine the oil. The oil residue is not wasted, and it is directly put into the stuffing. Put a few peppercorns in the good lard and fry until fragrant, then remove the peppercorns, pour the oil into the stuffing, and stir well.

Yunli made the stuffing, Qing Geer and the others made noodles and rolled the skins, Yu Geer was the best at rolling the skins, each dumpling skin was about the same size, the outer ring was thin and the center was thicker, Qing Geer and the three of them I'm in charge of making dumplings.

Qing Geer is the fastest, Xue Geer makes the best-looking buns, Duo Duo’s stuffing is big, and it’s clear when placed on a disc, Yunli has adjusted the stuffing, and wants to help Yu Geer roll the skin , but Brother Yu can feed three people by himself, so he went to boil water.

When he boiled the pot, a large plate of dumplings was made, and he put them directly into the pot. The iron pot was big, and there were a lot of dumplings. When the first pot of dumplings came out, Brother Qing and the others were about to finish the second pot. That's right, Yunli saw that there were too many dumplings, so she found a few porcelain pots and divided them into four portions.

"Brother Qing, Brother Yu, Brother Xue, you three, go deliver the dumplings." Yunli directed, and he brought a pot himself, "Brother En——"

When Li Enbai heard this, he hurried out, and Yunli stuffed a bowl of dumplings, "Give it to Dad and the others, and we'll have dinner when we get back."

"Hey, I got it." Li Enbai was carrying the dumplings, and before he could say a word to Yunli, his husband had already turned around and returned to the kitchen, and three more people carrying dumplings came out.

Yunli has become more and more like a leader recently. Qing Geer and the others looked at the dumplings in Li Enbai's hands, and then looked at themselves. Well, there is no need to refute, just go home and deliver the dumplings.

Brother Qing and Brother Xue gave it to his family, but Brother Yu gave it to Zhang's family, because Yunli didn't let Duoduo deliver it. Originally, Brother Yu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't want Duoduo to send it. Duo made a trip, so he had to go by himself, and he ran away first with the dumplings.

Brother Xue was also surprised to see his brother's obvious shyness. After his brother left, he couldn't help laughing, and followed his brother out the door.

Holding the dumplings, Li Enbai and Brother Qing looked at each other, and said helplessly, "Let's go, deliver it early, come back for dinner earlier."

"Okay, brother." Brother Qing saw that he didn't look angry, and he let go of a lot of worries in his heart. Originally, he was worried when he saw Li Enbai beating Li Enbai like this.

Men are generally very concerned about face, and they will definitely be unhappy if they are ordered by their husbands in front of outsiders. Brother Qing glanced at him secretly, and said as he walked, "Lizi has such a temper, just try to be quick when you work, brother, don't take it to heart." go."

Li Enbai said helplessly, "Lizi's temper is getting bigger and bigger every day. Every day, he supervises me to read and directs me to work. My husband is very powerful."

Brother Qing saw that although he was complaining about Lizi, the smile on his face was very gentle. After thinking about it, he understood that Brother Li didn't care about being ordered around. Maybe Lizi was used to it because of Lizi's current behavior.After thinking about it, Brother Qing was completely relieved, and was a little envious of Yunli.

"I also think that Lizi has become angry recently, and he has a good command of people, which is amazing!" Brother Qing also said, Yunli has changed a lot recently, and he is getting more and more used to management now. people.

Li Enbai also laughed, "That's not true, but this is good, so as not to be bullied like before, the harder the better."

Brother Qing also nodded, Yunli is not the same as before, and the eight women in the village dare not gossip about him easily, for fear that they will not be able to work in Liu's factory.

After they delivered the dumplings, they could eat as soon as they came back. Yunli and Duoduo had already cooked the dumplings and served them, just waiting for them to come back.

Brother Yu was the first to go out, but he was the last to come back. When he came back, his face was still sweaty and his cheeks were flushed. I don't know if he ran away or because of something else.

The dumplings with wild vegetables and pork are particularly fragrant, because the peppercorns are deep-fried, and they are not very greasy.

Li Enbai killed more than 40 dumplings by himself, and Yunli and the others also ate a lot. After the meal, each of them took a bowl of dumpling soup to digest.

Brother Qing patted his belly, "I'm so full, and the stuffed wild vegetables and pork are delicious too."

Yunli drank the soup, sweating all over from the heat, "I have to be willing to add oil, it won't taste good without oil."

Only the leaves of big-leaf grass can be eaten, and the fiber is relatively thick. They used to be eaten mixed with it. In fact, it is really not very delicious, and it is a bit bitter, but it is different when it is served with minced meat and pepper lard. Boiling water The leaves are mixed with oil, not only not bitter, but also very tender.

"Yes, you have to be willing to put oil on it." Duoduo's cooking skills are the worst, and she is being forced by her mother to practice cooking recently. It is miserable. Today, I learned how to make dumpling stuffing with Yunli, but I think it is very simple.

After learning how to make dumpling stuffing, she can be regarded as a good cook. When I go home and tell my mother, maybe I don't need to learn how to cook anymore.

Yunli knows that Duo Duo is clumsy and can’t even learn complicated dishes. It’s best to learn dumplings and steamed buns, which only need to be chopped up and wrapped together. Come and learn how to make stuffing and dough.

Li Enbai didn't stay with his little buddies after dinner, but went back to his room to continue reviewing under Yunli's urging.He opened the window of the east room, which was facing his desk, and now he could see the yard through the window.

Yunli and the others drank the dumpling soup, and after resting for a while, they still felt overwhelmed, so they walked around in the yard to speed up their digestion.

Just walking around, a few young brothers and girls who were not too old started to fight, and the five of them closed the door and played with chicken feather shuttlecocks.

This is when Li Enbai saw a peddler selling them when he went to the town, so he bought a few. Yunli thought it was interesting, so he called Brother Qing and the others to play together that day. Usually, there is not much time. The factory is closed today, but it is good to play fun.

"Kick it to me! Kick it to me!" Dodo yelled to catch the shuttlecock.

Brother Qing turned around and kicked the shuttlecock to Brother Xue, "I won't give it to you, hahaha."

Brother Xue took it and kicked it to Brother Yu, and Brother Yu wanted to kick it to Duoduo, but she couldn't catch it, so in order to make a few more rounds, let's kick it to Lizi, "Lizi, catch it! "

"Hey!"

Duoduo stomped angrily, "I want to kick too!"

The five people were playing lively, and Li Enbai occasionally raised his eyes to see it, and felt that he was in a good mood. He inadvertently raised the corners of his lips, showing a worry-free smile.

His gaze often drifts over Yunli, and occasionally meets Yunli's gaze. The husband and wife look at each other and smile, and the sweetness spreads in each other's hearts.

Brother Qing and the others only came home in the evening, and they made an appointment to go to the factory together tomorrow, leaving Duo Duo alone to envy them, but no matter how hard they begged, Yun Li and the others refused to agree to take her with them.

"Brother En, take a rest." Yunli handed Li Enbai a bowl of boiled sour pear water.

Li Enbai took it, and took Yunli into his arms, "Well, they left?"

"Well, we're all home." Yunli leaned against him and squeezed his arm.

Li Enbai likes the close contact between two people, especially likes Yunli sitting on his lap and being hugged tightly by him. Right now, he puts his hands on Yunli's waist to make him sit astride, and then hugs him tightly. , resting his chin on his shoulder, sighed comfortably.

Yunli was used to Li Enbai's unexpected clinginess, hugging his waist, "Tired?"

"One thing, I didn't understand something after reading it today. I wrote it down, and I will ask Mr. Liu for advice in a few days." Li Enbai pinched his eyebrows, and kissed Yunli's neck delicately.

Yunli shrank her neck, feeling sorry for him, "Brother En, why don't we also buy a horse? The ox cart is slow, and you don't want to use an ox cart, so you can replace it with a horse."

In order not to affect Li Enbai's review, Yunli put their cattle in Old Man Yun's house to keep them healthy. This cow was specially bought by Li Enbai when they got married, which is very meaningful to Yunli.

Bullock carts are considered the best means of transportation in the village, but for Li Enbai, both bullock carts and horse carts are too bumpy, and he would rather go by himself than take a cart.

But thinking of going to take the government examination in mid-April, going to Shicheng, which is farther than the county seat, and it is impossible not to take a carriage, he has a headache.

It seems that we have to find a way to modify the means of transportation for travel, at least shock absorption.

"Let's talk about it, I want to try to build a carriage, and then buy a horse." Li Enbai confessed to Yunli, "The cars that can be bought on the market are too bad, why don't we build one ourselves, make it bigger, When we go to Shicheng, we can bring more things."

Yunli opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Ah? Brother En, do you want to take me with you?"

"Well, this time, it will take about 20 days to go back and forth. I don't feel relieved to leave you alone at home, but I can let you go back to live with my father, but after 20 days, I will definitely miss you, why don't I take you with me. Li Enbai raised his head and kissed his husband's forehead, "By the way, I will take you to Shicheng for a while."

After confirming that Li Enbai wanted to take him with him, Yunli happily hugged his neck and kissed his face several times, each time there was a sound, but he kissed carelessly, and in the end Li Enbai couldn't stand the kiss Mouth.

It took a while to let him go, Yunli's cheeks were slightly red, her breathing was unsteady, but her excitement calmed down, and she kissed Li Enbai on the lips, "Thank you, Brother En."

Li Enbai enjoys Fulang's initiative, "What's there to thank? I'm afraid I miss you too much and affect the exam, baby." The last two words were said in Yunli's ear, which made Yunli shudder trembling.

Satisfied with Fu Lang's reaction, Li Enbai hugged him up, "The time is just right, let's go to sleep."

Yunli glanced at the window, and could still see the light outside, "It's still early, it's not time to sleep."

"It's just early." Li Enbai smiled meaningfully at him, "The night is long and there is a lot of time."
