Chapter 402(1/2)
Although the basic shape is pretty much the same, it still looks a bit different from the Xiao Long Bao outside.
First of all, the noodles I made were not fluffy enough after making them. I had clearly considered that the steamed buns might expand during the steaming process, so I set the size of the steamed buns in advance, but the size was not the same after steaming.
As expected.
But it didn't matter just that. Chen Nian first took out a small steamed bun and then broke it open.
I found that after being broken open, the texture at the back was still a bit solid, not as fluffy as when I was eating Xiao Long Bao before.
In addition, the fillings seem to be a little different from the Xiao Long Bao sold outside.
All in all, the whole thing is very disappointing.
But you can't throw away all the xiaolongbao, it would be too wasteful, and the meat filling alone would cost more than ten yuan if you don't mention it.
There was no other way, so Chen Nian had to find a small plate, pour some vinegar into it, and put some of the oily chili peppers he made into it.
Eat with dip.
There are only two ways to eat old Xiao Long Bao. One is to buy a bag of Xiao Long Bao and eat it while walking. The other is to sit in the store and ask the boss for a small plate, and then put some vinegar and spicy oil for dipping.
Eat.
This way of eating is my favorite.
Of course, many people in Sichuan don't actually add vinegar and eat it directly with chili peppers, but Chen Nian feels that after adding vinegar, the mixing of the flavors of vinegar and chili peppers will produce a very wonderful chemical reaction.
All in all, it is very exciting, the taste is sour and spicy, and particularly refreshing.
Although the xiaolongbao was not as good as expected this time, it still tasted very good.
After all, this thing is not bought with money, so it is not cost-effective, and it is made by myself, so what is there to dislike?
Not long after, Chen Nian ate two steamed buns. In the middle of the process, he felt a little choked just eating the steamed buns, but drinking water didn't go well with the steamed buns, so he went to the kitchen to quickly make himself a bowl of seaweed and egg drop.
Soup.
After eating, Chen Nian suddenly saw another small voice at the door.
"Jianguo is here again?"
"I haven't seen you for a while, how have you been these days?"
Chen Nian looked clearly to be Zhuge Jianguo. He hadn't seen him for a while. Zhuge Jianguo's body was much dirtier, but his eyes looked brighter.
Speaking of Zhuge Jianguo, although the other person was just a dog, he often accompanied him in the dark and late at night. Moreover, Zhuge Jianguo always ate the food he cooked for him and was very appreciative of it.
We are each other's confidants.
How could you treat someone so badly when you have a close friend? He took out a basket of freshly made steamed buns and put them in a small basin.
Break them open one by one to let the heat inside escape, so as not to burn Zhuge Jianguo's mouth later when he eats.
After the heat had almost dissipated, Chen Nian took out Zhuge Jianguo's special rice bowl and put it down.
Zhuge Jianguo was also very obedient and did not yell. He just kept wagging his tail and stepping on the ground with his limbs, looking very expectant.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, eat slowly, and I'll get you some water later." Chen Nian put down the rice bowl and looked at the impatient Zhuge Jianguo and said dotingly.
"Ouch~" Zhuge Jianguo whimpered softly.
Chen Nian didn't know whether the other party was responding to him or expressing gratitude.
Seeing Zhuge Jianguo feasting at the door, Chen Nian squatted there and shot a short video with his mobile phone.
After taking the photo, he put the phone in his pocket and said: "You can eat what you want here, but don't bite people when you go out, otherwise you will be beaten to death. But we are so familiar now, I still
Think of a way to go back and ask if anyone in your hometown is short of dogs and send you back so that you can have a sheltered home."
In the past, Chen Nian was always worried that Zhuge Jianguo would be captured by the dog hunting team, or sent to a stray dog shelter.
Of course, it would be unrealistic to let Chen Nian raise it by himself. After all, he is running a business, and it is difficult to tie a dog at the door.
I can only try to find a way to see if anyone is willing to adopt him.
Generally speaking, there may be more dogs in the countryside. After all, a yard in the countryside needs a dog that can look after the house and the yard.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian sent the video he just took to the group.
"Is there any relative who wants to adopt a dog? It would be best in the countryside. I have been feeding this dog for several months and it is quite well-behaved. If so, you can chat with me privately."
After a while, the first person to speak was Xiao Jing, an activist in the group.
Xiao Jing: "Boss, have you made Xiao Long Bao? I think it seems to be eating..."
Yan Lili: "Boss, you are too hateful. Why don't you come to us first if you have such a good thing? Sure enough, humans are worse than dogs!"
Xu Qiu: "Woof woof woof."
Luo Ye: "Woof woof woof."
Xiao Jing: "Woof woof woof."
Old jealous: "Don't be like this. I just made this today. The first time I made it, it was a failure. I will ask you to come and eat it when it is ready."
Yan Lili: "I've taken a screenshot, boss, you can't deny it."
Old jealous: "Everyone should settle the matter of this dog first. The name of this dog is Zhuge Jianguo. According to my observation, it should be a gray-haired dog, but it is a little dirty now. Do you have any questions?"
Are there any relatives in the country who are willing to keep dogs?”
Yan Lili: "My home is fine, but it's too far away and I can't send it back."
Old vinegar: "Yes, the best home is in Sichuan, which is more convenient."
Xu Qiu: "I can ask my family, and I plan to take Luo Ye back to meet my parents recently, but it's too late now. Is it okay if I ask tomorrow?"
Chen Nian: "Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you."
Xu Qiu: "It's okay. I also thought about what my dad said in the group a few days ago. I can just make a call tomorrow."
Then everyone in the group started talking about Xu Qiu taking Luo Ye back to meet his parents.
Although the night is getting deeper and deeper now, everyone's chatting is getting more and more lively.
As a result, while chatting, Xiao Jing first handed out a red envelope worth ninety-nine yuan.
[I wish Xu Qiu and Luo Ye a speedy marriage and a son!]
Xu Qiu didn't think it was much at first. He thought it was probably eighty-eight, ninety-nine or something like that. After all, the other party was a senior. He thought about it and clicked it. It turned out that it was ninety-nine.
Xu Qiu: "Damn it! Thank you, senior! Senior, you are so awesome!"
As a result, after Xiao Jing finished posting, others also started posting.
However, the ones issued are basically ninety-nine, including Yan Lili.
Xu Qiu: "Thank you all very much. When the two of us get married, I will definitely invite you all to go! Lily, why have you posted so many? You are still in school. It will be fine when you get the idea."
Yan Lili: "It's okay, it's all my sincerity, and ninety-nine is not much. When you get married, I will give you a wedding red envelope."
Xu Qiu: "Don't, don't, don't say goodbye. When the time comes, everyone can come. There's no need to spend any more money. I'm not a pretentious person. These are your gifts today. I'll give them to you when we get married."
Just send the invitation and have dinner when people come."
The topic continued like this, and Chen Nian couldn't help but smile as he looked at the young couple who were about to enter a happy marriage.
To be honest, he personally likes to see this kind of scene. Although he has just graduated, he has attended some relatives' weddings before. Every time he sees the happy appearance of the newlyweds on the stage, Chen Nian will feel sorry for them in his heart.
bless.
Of course it would be different if my mother was there.
After watching Zhuge Jianguo finish those small steamed buns, Chen Nian told him that he could continue to eat tomorrow. Chen Nian didn't care whether he understood or not, so he took the dog bowl back, took some water and put it at the door.
When Zhuge Jianguo had eaten and drank enough and started standing at the door wagging his tail at him, Chen Nian smiled and took the other person's rice bowl and went back to clean it, then put a plastic bag on it and put it back in the corner.
Put the remaining xiaolongbao in the freezer, take it out and heat it up tomorrow and eat it. Of course, even if you have done this, even the recipe only gave a 75% rating. It’s old.
I'm too embarrassed to give it to others, I'll just digest it myself tomorrow.
After cleaning up everything in the store, Chen Nian pulled down the rolling shutter and locked it, but Zhuge Jianguo hadn't left yet.
"Go back quickly and find a place to sleep. I'm going home." Chen Nian kicked his feet and said.
But for dogs, apart from certain commands and aggressive movements that have been taught to them long ago, other complex words are incomprehensible.
So Zhuge Jianguo thought that Chen Nian wanted to play with him, so he wanted to come up and rub Chen Nian's feet.
But Chen Nian didn't mean that at all, so he took two steps back and took out his mobile phone.
"How about this? Since you ate my buns, how about you cooperate with me and make a video?"
Then he turned on the camera and started taking pictures, regardless of whether Zhuge Jianguo agreed or not.
Chen Nian stretched out his hand, and Zhuge Jianguo lay down on the ground very cooperatively. He knew that the person in front of him was the person feeding him, so he acted very close to him. When he saw Chen Nian stretching out his hand, he immediately exposed his belly.
.
But Chen Nian didn't really touch it. Anyway, he just teased the other person for a while, causing Zhuge Jianguo to lie down, lie down, and spin in circles. He only turned off the video when he was satisfied.
"Okay, it's time for me to go back. You should also go back and go to bed early. Come back for dinner tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
