Chapter 239 Sauerkraut Dumplings
The yard of Lu’s family is larger than that of Xia Mingyue’s family. There is also a large open space near the wall. We simply built a shed and placed some chopping boards and other things. It is also convenient to use. .
Xia Mingyue proposed that Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu learn cooking skills together.
The two children are already ten years old after the Chinese New Year. It is the time for half-grown children to start planning.
Zhao Youcai had mentioned before that brothers Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu were both strong and strong. They could train in the army early in the future and find a way out.
Lu naturally disagreed with this matter.
Having one in the family in the military camp is enough to make people fearful. She has two sons in total, both of whom are the flesh that fell from her body, so they cannot do this kind of business of licking blood with the blade of a knife. .
But there was no one else who could make Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu plan well, and Lu was a little worried.
In the past few days, I saw that the two brothers were selling candied haws very well, so I was thinking about whether to let the two brothers work as street vendors in the future, or rely on Xia Mingyue to work in restaurants. A running room, or maybe joining a food stall or something.
Now Xia Mingyue is actually willing to teach Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu how to cook...
This is a craft that will last a lifetime!
Mr. Lu was filled with joy, "This is a good thing. My siblings don't dislike the two brothers for being clumsy, so it's naturally good."
"It's just that I'm a little worried. These two brothers are too easy-going. Their father is really not very smart, I'm afraid he won't be able to learn anything..."
"Try it first, and if you can learn it, follow it. If you can't, let's talk about other things." Xia Mingyue said, "Let's do it. There are more benefits to being near the water, right? "
You have to take care of your own people.
"Brothers and sisters are right," Lu said, "Then let these two brats learn from you. Don't be polite, brothers and sisters. Just say what you need to say and beat them if you need to. The children are very strong, so there is no need to have any scruples. ."
"Okay." Xia Mingyue responded with a smile.
When brothers Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu heard that they would learn cooking from Xia Mingyue after the new year, they were both overjoyed.
"If you say so, we can no longer call Aunt Xia aunt, we have to be master." Zhao Dahu said.
"I heard that the apprenticeships are arranged in the order of first comer and first comer. Then I will be the first to kowtow to Aunt Xia before you. I will be the senior brother." Zhao Erhu said nothing. He was shy about telling his little plans.
"Then you may not be able to get ahead of me." Zhao Dahu said, "I will stay up all night and stay in front of Aunt Xia's house. I will definitely be the first to kowtow to Aunt Xia, and you have to be my junior brother!"
“Can’t you give me a chance?”
“No!”
The two brothers kept arguing, and Mrs. Lu helplessly held her forehead.
Right now, she is not thinking about how to learn cooking skills, but about rankings. She is not a mother who wants to belittle her own children, but the two of them can really learn such virtues. Good at cooking?
It’s better to take advantage of these few days before the year to quickly buy a heater for my younger brother and sister, and then make a heater cover. When my younger brother and sister teach the two of them how to cook, I will cover my heart more often, so as not to be so angry that my heart will freeze. Take out the cool ones and freeze them again...
There are many stoves and ovens, and Liu Caisheng has been busy for three days alone.
It is already the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month when all the finishing work is done.
Folk New Year.
Food stalls everywhere will be open until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. These days are still the busiest times in the county, and the central kitchen is naturally very busy.
Especially after Wang left, the workers Xia Mingyue found could not fully take on the work. She, Lu and even Jiang Zhuguo had to help with the work.
There was no extra time to go out to visit Lu Qiyan and Zhao Youcai, so Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi found Su Yongfu at the car dealership again and asked him to make a trip to deliver some things. In the Northern New Year, dumplings are indispensable.
Xia Mingyue and Lu made many dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and meat.
The jar of pickled cabbage bought from the farmer was perfectly pickled, crisp and sour.
Soak the pickled cabbage in cold water, dry it, squeeze the water, and cut it into pieces like leeks. Stir evenly with the pork filling, pepper and star anise water, green onion and ginger, and add some jelly produced when boiling pig skin jelly. Make sure the soup is overflowing after cooking, fragrant and not greasy.
The weather is cold. After wrapping the dumplings, dip them in enough flour to prevent them from sticking. Wrap them in a cage cloth and put them directly in the food box. After this, they will freeze hard and can be eaten directly after cooking.
In addition to dumplings, Xia Mingyue prepared some braised meat and braised vegetables, and once again filled several jars.
With the experience of going to Xiaohezhuang twice before, Su Yongfu was familiar with the road. After setting off from Xinghua Lane in the morning, he delivered all his things just after noon.
Lu Qiyan and Zhao Youcai were both filled with joy when they received the things.
And there was no shortage of money in the army at this time, so Lu Qiyan ordered the kitchen to buy a pig so that he could make dumplings for everyone to eat in the evening, which would also be considered a small New Year.
The kitchen was naturally very happy and hurried to prepare.
The soldiers who heard that they were going to eat pork dumplings in the evening were also very happy and worked harder and harder.
Only Fang Linwang twitched his lips when he heard about eating pork dumplings, and went to the kitchen to ask him about the meal for the evening.
The cook was busy cutting the meat without even raising his head, "Lu Dutou explained that today is New Year's Eve, and we will eat dumplings at night. Making dumplings is a troublesome job, so we can't wait for Master Fang alone at night. If you are making food, you should also eat dumplings.”
"But you are eating his share of dumplings with Lu Dutou. They are filled with pickled cabbage and meat, not radish and meat like ours."
But whether it is pickled cabbage or radish, they are both Served with pork.
Pork is unpalatable no matter what it is eaten with.
Fang Linwang curled his lips and said, "I won't eat!"
"Are you serious that you don't want to eat?" After a cook asked excitedly, he looked at the team leader, "Boss, what if If Master Fang doesn’t want to eat, can he let me try two of his portions? I really want to try the dumplings made by Lady Xia.”
"Can I try two too?"
"And I..."
The dumplings sent by Lady Xia?
Fang Linwang's eyes lit up at first, and then he yelled at the two cooks, "Go, go, go, go, Mrs. Xia sent me, Lu Dutou, and Brigade Zhao "You're the one who said you didn't want to eat."
The waiter curled his lips.
"Yes, I heard it too." Someone echoed.
"Then..."
Fang Linwang stamped his foot, "You heard it wrong! I clearly said just eat it!"
"You can Remember, I have to keep my share of dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork. If you lose any of them, I’ll take care of you!”
“Okay,” the team leader agreed with a smile.
