Chapter 113 Luo Ran and Wen Sheng learned to do so, dug a piece of dough, kneaded it in their hands, and the dough was a little sticky.When the dough is kneaded smoothly, press the dough into the middle with your fingers to press the dough into a cone, then scoop an appropriate amount of bean paste with a spoon to fill it, compact, and then knead the mouth.The mouth must be pinched tightly, otherwise the filling will be exposed when steaming.After that, the dough is kneaded into a circle and placed on a curtain drawer with leaves on the mat, and a dumpling is complete.Luo Ran is better, he will get started after a while, and he is quite decent.Wen Sheng was too young to have strength in his fingers.He sat next to him and watched.He also wanted to wrap the dumplings, but after wrapping a few pieces of dough and returning to the oven, Zheng didn't let him continue to spoil things.When a curtain drawer is wrapped, take it to the kitchen and steam it.After the dumplings are steamed, they are sent to the yard.It was very cold outside, and it didn't take long for the steaming dumplings to freeze.This is also the reason why the dumplings are chosen on heavy snowy days, the temperature is lower, and the dumplings are more solid.The frozen dumplings will be put into the clay pot and placed under the eaves, which can be stored for several months, even in the spring.Steamed a pot of dumplings, smelling the fragrance of dumplings outside, although they had breakfast, Luo Ran and Wen Sheng were a little hungry.Before Luo Ran said that he wanted to eat, Zheng said, "When the second pot comes out, I will give you food." ”Before, when the Luo family was not separated, the dumplings were steamed pot after pot, but you were hungry, but you couldn't eat it.You have to wait for the elders in charge of the family to speak, so that the big guys can eat together.That's the rule of the older generation.Now that the family is separated, the Zheng family feels sorry for their children, anyway, the family is in charge of their own affairs, so they directly ordered the second pot to be eaten.The freshly cooked dumplings were bright yellow and steaming, and Luo Ran picked one with chopsticks and tore off the reed leaves underneath with his hands.She could recognize that most of the dumplings in this curtain drawer were wrapped by the Zheng family.The size is very uniform, and the skin is thin and the filling is large.If you bite into it, you will be able to eat the bean paste filling.Glutinous and fragrant yellow rice dough, sweet and soft bean paste filling.The dough is slightly sticky, and the red beans in the bean paste filling are not completely crushed, which is more real than the red bean paste she ate in her previous life.The taste is also better.The beautiful dumplings with thin skin and stuffing bigger than Zheng's bag, next to it are the brother and himself, so I won't talk about my brother's.Luo Ran's wrap looks similar in appearance, but Luo Ran knows how thick the skin is, and he doesn't have much stuffing.Therefore, what Luo Ran ate in his hand was Zheng's bag, and he resolutely did not reach out to take his bag.By the end of the day, Luo Ran's fingers were all sour, and the dumplings were finally finished.While it was still hot, Luo Youli picked up a basket of dumplings and sent them to the Luo family.When he came back, Luo Youli was not in such a good mood."
Dad, what's wrong" Luo Ran wanted to ask, "It's okay." ”"Dad, what's wrong, you don't talk about your mother but worry."
Luo Youli looked up and saw Zheng looking at him worriedly, "It's nothing, it's just that when I went to deliver the dumplings, your grandmother scolded me twice." ”"What is grandma scolding Dad" Luo Ran stabbed a knife in Luo Youli's heart, and he could guess what he was scolding.Don't Xiao descendants, marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, regret giving birth to you and so on" "Why does grandma scold my father" Luo Ran stabbed a knife in Luo Youli's heart again, and he could guess why he was scolded.I have nothing to do and want to pinch people.When Luo Ran asked like this, Luo Youli's mood was even lower.On the contrary, Zheng saw it, patted Luo Ran and said, "Don't ask your father again, tomorrow will be the last day of the year."
We still have a few New Year's goods that we haven't bought.Hurry up and discuss with your father what else you haven't bought" Sure enough, buying New Year's goods still attracted Luo Ran's attention.Nothing close.In the artillery battle, buy a few catties of pork, weigh melon seeds and peanut candy, and it is best to buy some mutton and beef.Beef is estimated to be very small, so it's hard to buy.It's already in the twenties of the lunar month, and I have to catch the last trip to the market, and it is also the last time to buy New Year's goods.Everything is almost bought, pork is too little, and I have to buy a few catties more.In the past, when the Luo family was divided, as a villager's family, they usually lived, unless there were guests at home, most of them were reluctant to spend money to buy meat to eat.Now during this period of time, Luo Ran's family has not eaten less meat, and there are still a few catties of meat frozen, but Luo Youli and Zheng still think that the children can eat more, so they plan to buy another ten catties of meat this time.More than a dozen catties of pork for the New Year is not too much or too little, and it is still quite a lot compared with people who do not raise pigs.Some families can't afford to buy piglets or don't have people to raise pigs, so they will cut a few catties of meat to make tooth sacrifices to satisfy their hunger during the New Year.There are far fewer people than those who kill New Year's pigs.A pig must have a few hundred catties, and there is a lot of pork.Usually, the family who kills the pig will not be able to eat it for a while, and they are usually sold for money.Only the Spring Festival is an exception, into the wax moon, most people have to kill pigs, for the New Year dumplings, cooking meat preparation, folk called "killing pigs".Each family will raise two or three pigs, raise them for a year, and when the New Year comes, they will kill one or two, and sell the rest for some silver money to purchase the things needed for the New Year.Sometimes, the money from the sale of a pig has to be used to pay for all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar expenses in the coming year, and some families rely on the money saved to marry their sons.However, if the pig is killed at home, the children and adults can beat their teeth to satisfy their hunger, and the meat for the New Year is also abundant.Speaking of killing New Year's pigs, this year's drought, there are relatively few people who kill New Year's pigs, and they are generally large households in the village, such as the village chief's family in Xinzhuang Village.When the New Year's pig was killed in the teenage years of the lunar month, Luo Ran Wensheng and the two of them secretly went over to take a look.At that time, the scene was quite spectacular, after all, there were few New Year pigs killed in the village, and many children and even adults came to watch.Luo Ran heard a woman next to him say that this is a good day for the village chief to ask a gentleman to count the New Year's pigs.Between the village, several large and powerful young adults entered the pigsty to catch pigs.The pigs that were tied up were placed on a wooden shelf.The village chief's daughter-in-law also burned a stack of paper with three pillars of incense on the case near the shelf, and said that she would send those lonely friends and ghosts away, and not to disturb the normal killing of pigs.After that, the butcher picked up a pig-killing knife and a whetstone from the case next to him.The knife had been sharpened a long time ago, but he still seriously sharpened the pig-killing knife on the whetstone five or six times, and poured a bowl of water on the pig-killing knife to wash it clean.Then he walked to the shelf, looked at the pig, and chose the place where to put the knife, and everyone watched with relish.To be continued.4209051:
