Chapter 33 33. Making Dumplings
My aunt was shocked by the results of her analysis.
What agriculture is grown?
What you say in such a formal way is actually not farming. What future can be gained from farming? The economy is not good now. Is it better to have a stable job than anything else?
She put the meat aside in a hurry, walked over and asked: "Sister, are you serious?"
Wulan was washing vegetables: "Yes. Did you see the car at the door? Tantan earned it by selling wild vegetables."
What a Spring and Autumn writing style! This was obviously bought for selling wild vegetables.
Song Tan was blowing bubbles next to her. When the bubbles exploded, she was stunned.
Qiao Qiao saw that she was stunned, and quickly reached out to touch her head: "If you don't cry, don't cry. Qiao Qiao will blow a big one for you."
Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry: " Sister is not crying, please give me a blow first!”
My grandpa is getting older and has poor legs and feet. He has been in a wheelchair for the past two years and has become increasingly lethargic. Now that his granddaughter and grandson are with him, he looks cheerful and smiles like the boss.
Song Tan's grandmother, on the other hand, works in the fields from time to time, and is more capable than ordinary young people.
At this moment, she was looking at a large pot of shepherd's purse. She disliked the cold water in the faucet and pushed Ulan aside:
"You said, we have these shepherd's purses in the fields. You Why do you bring so much?”
“Didn’t Tantan make money by selling this?”
The well water pumped up from the faucet felt cold to the heart, but grandma didn't seem to feel it at all. She was obviously used to it.
Ulan looked at her gray hair, but now he no longer worried about money: "The wild vegetables are growing very well this year, and I have made a lot of money. Not bad, I am here to give it to you today Making dumplings."
"When you and dad don't want to cook, just cook some dumplings. They are delicious and easy to digest."
Although we share the same yard. Grandma and uncle live separately and eat their own food. There is a good dish that we share together, but we are not together every day.
My eldest aunt also came up: "Sister, what do you think? Look at how good our Tantan looks! After working in Ningcheng, find a local, what a blessing!"
"How can we find a good partner if we stay in the village? Aren't you delaying her?"
She looked at Song Tan, who was coaxing her grandpa with Qiao Qiao, and lowered her voice: "Qiao Qiao looks like this. You can’t drag the child down for him.”
As a slightly patriarchal thinker, the fact that my aunt can say this shows that she really cares about the child.
Ulan was not angry either: "Sister-in-law, I didn't agree with it at first, but when Tantan came back, she was haggard and weak. She said she was exhausted from work - so I relented and raised a baby first. "
"As for farming, the child has to do it. I think there is plenty of space at home, so I let her do it."
But about the object...
"She is working hard at farming, and the little money she has has been spent long ago. Let her work on it first, and then talk about going back to work when she gives up."< br>
Working outside is really tiring, and my aunt’s son and daughter are also working hard outside. Hearing this, he sighed and put down the shepherd’s purse in his hand:
“Making dumplings, right? I’ll go. Chop the meat - Oops, you took too much. Once these dumplings are finished, they can fill a refrigerator."
Song Sancheng was a little greedy - Chef Wu Lan only wanted to make money, and he only wanted to eat wild vegetables. If Tantan hadn't insisted on taking out food, there would have been no need to even think about making it at home.
At this point, the shepherd’s purse dumplings at home were all eaten up a long time ago, and I haven’t made them yet.
So he said proudly: "His aunt, don't worry! We said these wild vegetables cost twenty yuan a pound, and that's not bragging. You will know when you eat it, but you don't have to eat it."
For example, their family of four had more than a hundred dumplings in one meal!
I brought ten kilograms of shepherd's purse and some other things with me today, but they won't last long at all.
My eldest aunt didn’t believe it at all: “If I eat this shepherd’s purse every year, what kind of flowers can I get from it?”
He turned around and looked at the two men carrying the meat again, and quickly shouted: "Qiaoqiao, go ahead and ask your uncle to come back and chop the meat!"...
Uncle Wu Chengtao didn't take long. Then he rushed back:
“Oh, what a great shout! I lost two hundred and they didn’t let me leave the table. I’m so anxious!”
My aunt scolded him: “I think about it when I lose. Run, if they hadn’t gathered enough people, who would have called you?”
The uncle was also aggrieved: "I said they wouldn't do it if I asked them to fight for one dollar, otherwise I would definitely not run away."
The key is who fights landlords for one dollar!
The eldest aunt rolled her eyes and thrust the kitchen knife into his hand: "Hurry up, chop it into pieces and make dumplings tonight."
The eldest uncle turned around and washed his hands and asked again: "Whose car is there? Sancheng, have you taken the driver's license test?" He also looked like he was ready to make a move.
Song Sancheng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, we are taking the exam. Didn't Tantan earn money selling vegetables at home, and then bought a car, which is convenient for going out."
Good guy!
Song Tan thought to herself, why would everyone put gold on her face? No wonder she is also very good at talking - it's all hereditary.
The uncle glanced at the car with envy: "It's better than a pickup truck. It can be loaded. It's so practical. When Wu Lei wanted to buy a car, I told him to buy a big one, but he refused to listen and was still thinking about it. Buy a car and squeeze the whole family in. "
My uncle's son Wu Lei used to work in the city and recently had a girlfriend, so he went to Ningcheng with him. The family plans to raise some money and buy a car for the child first, and later go to the woman’s house to save face.
Looking at the meat on the chopping board again, he was dumbfounded: "How many dumplings do we have to make?"
Ulan laughed:
"I am going to load a cart with the straw from home. I don't want to buy more meat, just for the sake of it."
The uncle glared at her. :
"Straw is not valuable, so you can pull it out as much as you want. If you do so much at once, you will eat it until the end of the year."
Song Sancheng still had that mysterious smile:
"If you can last until the end of the month with these dumplings, I'll be convinced! Hurry up, the dishes are washed and it's time to make the noodles."
He was waiting to eat.
So the whole family got busy.
When the noodles were ready, even the grandfather in the wheelchair began to slowly wrap the dumplings.
On the other hand, grandma looked at the shepherd's purse, smelled it again, and nodded secretly: "No wonder you said this dish costs twenty yuan. The taste is just different from before, fragrant."
When she said this, my eldest aunt seemed to think the smell was a bit too good, so she said generously: "Mom, you and dad like to eat soft dumplings. These dumplings will be frozen in your refrigerator later. I want to eat them." Just cook it yourself, it’s still nutritious and easy to digest.”
“We don’t need it. We want to eat it ourselves.”
Ulan said again: “You want to pull straws. Just pull it, that thing is of no use except igniting fire. We don’t plan to plant rice this year, so we might as well buy it and eat it ourselves.”
Ulan was not polite: “Okay, I will. I’ll let Qiao Qiao and the others load the car later. But sister-in-law, you can share half of this dumpling with our mother. It’s really different from other wild vegetables.”
She has tasted all the other wild vegetables in the village. It smells like this everywhere.
I have written several chapters, and not even a day has passed in the text...I am so slow!
Three updates today!
Also, I thought no one would guess the answer to the previous chapter, but I didn’t expect that not even a day had passed, or even only a few hours had passed, but the answer came out.
Lu Xiaowen, I remember you.
Applause for her! ! !
