The Sweetness of the Seventies

Qi Shuliang left Qi Zhenghan reading in the study, and he went downstairs.

Seeing the washed shepherd's purse on the chopping board, he smiled happily and said, "Mom, how did you know that I want to eat shepherd's purse dumplings?"

"Haha, of course I know. I will cook it when spring comes. Sometimes I forget that you dug the shepherd's purse yourself and asked me to wrap it for you." Grandma Qi San smiled brightly, "You don't have to eat it here, do you?"

"For food, I sometimes go to Chinatown to eat some, but they don't taste as good as the ones you cook." Qi Shuliang praised. This was not only to make Grandma Qi San happy, but also to tell the truth. The taste was indeed not authentic.

Seeing her husband talking happily, she knew that her husband really liked eating what her mother-in-law cooked. Anna washed her hands and came over to help.

The maid minced the meat according to He Tiantian's instructions.

He Tiantian picked up the kitchen knife and chopped the meat "bang bang bang" on the chopping board, so that the meat filling would be stronger.

Grandma Qi San cut the vegetables into very small pieces, then chopped green onions, ginger and garlic, put them in a clean basin, and then started kneading the noodles.

There was enough dough for seven or eight people, and I took a basin to cover it with the dough.

Over there, He Tiantian has chopped the meat filling and put it together with the shepherd's purse.

Grandma Qi San got the oil, put salt and some seasonings, started seasoning, and kept stirring the meat filling. In order to ensure the taste, Grandma Qi San took out a little bit with a spoon and tasted it. The taste was just right.

The dough over there had woken up, and when it was time to roll out the wrappers, He Tiantian discovered that there was only one thick rolling pin at home. That one was used for making bread and was not suitable for rolling out dumpling wrappers.

"Tiantian, what should I do if I don't have a thin rolling pin?" Grandma Qi San was embarrassed. It was too late to go to Chinatown to buy a rolling pin.

He Tiantian is also in a dilemma!

This is how to do ah?

The stuffing is ready, so you can’t leave it alone!

At this moment, Qi Shuliang's eyes lit up, and his eyes fell on a slender glass beverage bottle that was two fingers wide and thirty centimeters long. He then took it over and removed the wrapping paper from it.

"Is this okay?" Qi Shuliang asked, he couldn't wait to eat dumplings.

He Tiandian nodded and said: "Okay, okay!"

After cleaning, He Tiantian began to roll out the dough. The small dough turned into a round piece with thin edges and a thicker middle.

"You can make dumplings now." He Tiantian rolled out several dumpling wrappers in succession, using the temporary glass rolling pin in his hand quite smoothly.

Qi Shuliang washed his hands and made dumplings with Grandma Qi San.

"Dad, I want to learn too." Qi Zhengmin thought it was fun and went to wash his hands.

"Okay, come on, daddy will teach you." Qi Shuliang said with a smile, teaching his daughter how to make dumplings step by step.

Anna saw that Qi Shuliang could also make dumplings and asked her husband to teach him.

In the kitchen, the family's knowing laughter could be heard from time to time.

Qi Zhenghan upstairs finished the homework left by his father, then went downstairs and saw his sister whose face turned into a little cat.

Everyone gathered around, Qi Zhenghan was embarrassed.

Seeing that the dumplings were almost done, He Tiantian said to Qi Zhenghan, "Zhenghan, stop standing. Fill the big pot with water. After it boils, we can cook the dumplings."

"Okay." Qi Zhenghan happened to have the opportunity to participate, and he was very happy.

When the water over there boiled, He Tiantian started cooking dumplings.

"Zhengmin, the dumplings you made are strangely shaped. They will be cooked later and you can eat them yourself." He Tiantian joked, visually inspecting the dumplings made by Qi Zhengmin before, most likely there were only dough pieces left.

"Sister Tiantian, no, grandma said that the dumplings I made will break. When the vegetables are in the soup, you can only get the dumpling wrappers." Qi Zhengmin said with a bitter face. Thinking about it, he knew that the dumpling wrappers were not as good as the dumpling fillings. eat.

With three ups and downs, all the fat and white dumplings floated on it.

Qi Zhenghan brought a plate, and He Tiantian put the dumplings on the plate.

Grandma Qi San asked what kind of dipping sauce she liked and prepared several different ones.

Anna, what I want is ketchup.

Qi Shuliang's taste is a bit strong, with vinegar and minced garlic.

Qi Zhengmin, Qi Zhenghan and Grandma Qi San are all jealous.

He Tiantian likes spicy food, so she added chili sauce to the vinegar.

After one pot was ready, He Tiantian asked Grandma Qi San to take Qi Shuliang and Qi Zhengmin to eat, and she ate the whole pot.

When the other pot was ready, Qi Zhenghan and Qi Shuliang brought plates over again, and they could still eat one more plate.

Anna, Grandma Qi, and Qi Zhengmin were also very satisfied with their meals, but their appetites were so large that they couldn't eat anymore.

When He Tiantian was eating, Qi Zhengmin looked over with big eyes and swallowed.

"Zhengmin, you have eaten enough, you can't eat anymore." Anna touched her daughter's head and comforted her, "Grandma is so good, she will make more delicious food in the future."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhengmin looked at his grandmother and said, "Grandma, will you cook us such delicious food again in the future?"

Grandma Qi San was bored during this period of time. Now that she saw that her granddaughter liked what she made, she seemed to have found a new goal. She nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I will fry spring rolls for you tonight."

"That one is delicious." He Tiantian gave a thumbs up, "You won't forget it after you eat it."

"Okay!" Qi Zhengmin smiled happily.

Qi Shuliang and Qi Zhenghan ate two large plates of dumplings and were satisfied.

Seeing that her husband likes to eat it so much, Anna has already memorized the steps in her mind and will often cook something for her husband when she has the opportunity in the future.

He Tiantian left some for the maid so that she could also taste the dumplings.

After eating it, she asked how to make it. She liked the taste.

From now on, when Grandma Qi San and He Tiantian borrow the kitchen to cook, the maid will no longer hide. Instead, she will watch from the side and write it down with a notebook. Once she learns it, it will be her recipe from now on.

However, of course, this was done with the consent of He Tiantian and Grandma Qi San.

This thing is a daily meal, He Tiantian, Grandma Qi San doesn’t care at all, just remember it how you want!

Sunday is another day to listen to opera at Jixianglou.

What I sang today was "The Romance of the West Chamber", which Grandma Qi San was also familiar with. I was still very happy listening to it, and the lingering sound lingered in my ears!

In the blink of an eye, He Tiantian and Grandma Qi San have been in country M for almost a month.

He Tiantian lived a very fulfilling life every day. It was only late at night when she was quiet that she would think of her parents and Huo Yingjie.

He Tiantian finished washing, stretched out her left ankle and said: "Gulu Gulu Mi..."

The Snake King came out of it in response!

Originally, the Snake King wanted to put on a majestic look and put on airs, but as soon as he came out, he turned into a fat baby and fell on He Tiantian's big bed.

Suddenly, there was no momentum left, only pink and cute, like a big glutinous rice ball.

It was all like this. The Snake King had a grimace on his face, said nothing, and looked out the window rather melancholy.
