But no matter what kind of dumplings they are, when wrapped in thin skin and matured bit by bit in the water in the pot, floating on the water from the bottom of the pot, they all become fragrant, delicious and full of temptation.
Dry it out directly, drain the water and put it on a plate to eat. Occasionally dip it in a little balsamic vinegar. When you are completely full, drink a small bowl of noodle soup with dumplings, which is truly the original soup. Extremely comfortable.
You can also serve a bowl with dumplings and soup, add some sauce to taste, and serve with chili oil, minced coriander, etc., and eat a bowl of spicy and sour food, which is also hearty and very enjoyable. .
No matter which way you eat it, everyone holding the bowl eats it with gusto. There are even some people who are not satisfied with one bowl, so they quickly come to the same bowl and have a taste.
If you have a bigger appetite, you can get some dumplings with different fillings, and you have to taste each type of dumplings in two ways before you feel satisfied.
The dumplings at noon were not satisfying enough, and Xia Mingyue also made a lot of fillings. In the evening, she made a lot of pot stickers and paired them with the mellow and fragrant fried tofu cubes and spinach soup to satisfy herself again. Taste buds.
In the next few days, the sky was still gloomy, and the snow more than a foot thick was still there.
Even if the weather is really cold, many people are worried that it will snow again. They are also worried that when the sun comes out and the snow melts, the yard will become muddy, so they start to brave the cold to clean the snow in the yard.
Either pile all the snow under the roots of the trees in the yard to keep the trees warm, or simply use a flatbed truck to pull out all the snow, throw it at the base of the gable, and let it slowly melt.
Xia Mingyue collected the thick snow on the ground and poured it all into a large vat. Then she buried all the prepared pears in the vat filled with snow, and then used the snow to cover all the pears. cover.
Yinqiao was very puzzled when she saw this, "If you put the pears in the snow, wouldn't they freeze?"
If she remembers correctly, things like apples, persimmons, and pears are the most afraid of freezing. , if it is frozen, it will not taste good. It needs to be placed in a cool place with a certain temperature.
“I just want to eat frozen pears.” Xia Mingyue said with a smile.
Frozen pears?
Yinqiao became more and more puzzled.
The pears are frozen, can they still be eaten?
Is it possible that the lady likes to eat something iced, so she wants to freeze the pears?
But the lady has made a lot of canned pears. If you want to freeze them into ice and eat them, it is better to freeze all the canned pears. They will be cooler and sweeter, so they will taste better.
Yinqiao was puzzled, but seeing Xia Mingyue looking at the big vat filled with snow and pears with great anticipation, she also began to look forward to it.
I’m not sure, it’s a rare way to eat it. After all, there is nothing unpalatable about Lady Xia’s food, right?
As a result, Yin Qiao's eyes were more hopeful than Xia Mingyue's, and she even actively helped Xia Mingyue with the follow-up matters.
After the snow pears froze in the snow all night, Xia Mingyue and Yin Qiao took the pears out of the snow together. After they were fully defrosted, they were buried in the snow again and frozen again. .
This was repeated several times, and the snow in the tank was changed several times. The originally golden skin of the Sydney pears turned completely black due to continued freezing.
At this time, the sun appeared in the sky that had been gloomy for several days.
The sun was shining brightly and soon warmed the entire land, and the dazzling snow gradually melted as the temperature rose.
Water drops fell from the eaves and branches, ticking, forming icicles one by one, hanging on the edge of the tiles or on the branches, crystal clear and sparkling under the sun.
Occasionally, icicles fall and become "big swords" in the hands of children, who laugh and play with them and have fun.
There are also some greedy ones who feel that these cold icicles are like the rare popsicles that relieve the heat in summer. They just open their mouths and lick them, and even bite a piece in their mouths. Boom, boom, boom.
Here, Xia Mingyue took out all the hard frozen pears and prepared to eat them.
As soon as Yinqiao heard the word "eat", she immediately became interested. She couldn't wait to pick up the frozen pear, put it to her mouth, and opened her mouth to bite.
At this time, the frozen pear was extremely hard, and the cold breath quickly enveloped the tooth, almost causing the tooth to die on the spot.
This made Yinqiao have to "retreat her teeth despite the difficulty" and asked Xia Mingyue for help, "Madam, you can't eat this frozen pear."
"There is a way to eat it." Xia Mingyue couldn't help laughing. She took the pear from Yinqiao's hand and put it in the basin with the pears next to it. "But you have to wait before you can eat it."
Wait a minute?
Yinqiao was surprised, but she saw that after Xia Mingyue put the pears into the basin, she directly poured cold water from the water tank into the basin until the water completely submerged the frozen pears.
The water in the tank was already cold enough. Under the freezing effect of the frozen pears, the water in the basin quickly formed a thin layer of ice. Xia Mingyue was not in a hurry. After a while, it Go and change the water and give it a squeeze to feel like a frozen pear.
Until all the frozen pears in the basin are completely thawed and feel like smoothies when held, they are taken out and allowed to dry out the last moisture.
"Try it quickly." Xia Mingyue returned the frozen pear that originally belonged to Yinqiao to her, and gave one to each of the others.
The soft frozen pear is very interesting to hold. When eating, use your teeth to make a hole in the skin, or take a big bite of the pulp, or suck the juice of the frozen pear, which is both refreshing and sweet.
Especially in this cold winter, people usually wear thick clothes and like to use charcoal fire to warm themselves when they are in the house. They also like to eat steaming meals with ginger and chili. It is inevitable that this person will easily get angry and feel dry inside.
After eating this cold frozen pear, I just feel the coldness from my mouth to my stomach to my whole body, making every part of it soothing and comfortable.
