Chapter 103: Why not
The night is getting darker.
I don't know when the wind started blowing outside, making a roaring sound. Every household turned on their lights and hid in warm rooms to prepare dinner.
The floor heating in Xu Wenbin's place is very powerful, much stronger than the radiator where Xu Qing and the others live. Even wearing a sweater feels hot.
"Aren't you going to help me?"
"The room is so big, there's no room for me."
The two women were making and cooking dumplings and were busy in the kitchen. The main breadwinner of the family was idle, wandering around the living room and study room with a teacup in his hand. Xu Qing was eagerly waiting for the dumplings to come out of the pot, and immediately went over to help carry the bowl and pour the vinegar.
"Smells, it smells so good!"
This guy looked at the few broken dumplings in the pot and gave Jiang He a thumbs up while shouting.
"Can the dumplings still smell good?"
"Of course, what you two cook is delicious."
Xu Qingdiandian took the dumplings out and ran back to wait for Zhou Suzhi to fill the bowl.
The steaming hot dumplings were put on the table, and there was a rack of uncooked dumplings in the kitchen, waiting for them to finish eating.
Jiangcheng is purely from the north, unlike the south with corn, shrimp, fish, meat and vegetables stuffed with various fillings. It is usually big meat, regardless of beef, mutton or pork, it is always a big meatball.
Pork and green onion dumplings are delicious if you dip them in vinegar.
The family was eating around the table. Jiang He was talking casually to Xu Qing as usual, but it could be seen from her expression that she liked it very much.
I listened with open ears to the conversation between the father and son, chatting nonsense from abroad to China, from Jiangcheng to Luocheng.
"Is it delicious?" Zhou Suzhi asked with a smile, seeing her eating seriously.
“Well, it’s super delicious!”
After hearing what Jiang He said, Xu Qing, who was arguing with the old man about why Jiangcheng was not as developed as Luocheng, couldn't help but look slightly sideways.
Would you still say it’s too much now?
"If it's delicious, eat more and cook it when it's done."
Zhou Suzhi's eyes were unusually gentle. When she was teaching Jiang He to make dumplings in the kitchen, he saw the thick calluses on her palms and knew that this girl had not had an easy life before.
The sweet taste of food is also very rare nowadays.
I originally thought that Xu Qing was talking nonsense, but now it seems that he is really pitiful. He came from the ravine to Jiangcheng alone and suffered a lot.
"I'll come, I'll cook."
Xu Qing ate one dumpling at a time? Two at most? He ate faster than any of them and diligently went into the kitchen to make the dumplings.
Although I don’t know how to wrap it, cooking is very simple. Just have some hands.
After the second pot is cooked, just refill it. After eating, put a large bowl of dumpling soup into your stomach, and the original soup becomes the original food.
At the end, Xu Qing, who had eaten and drank enough, washed the dishes and chopsticks, brushed the pot with steel wool to make it shine, wiped his hands and came out ready to go home.
"I always thought this guy brought his girlfriend here to eat and drink." Xu Wenbin felt that these two people were very good at eating.
"Who can compare to you? You don't do anything all day long, just waiting to eat."
Zhou Suzhi snorted and looked at the two figures next to the street lamp downstairs from the window sill and said: "This girl is quite down-to-earth, not pretentious at all. She just ate three big bowls."
"How much?" Xu Wenbin really didn't pay attention.
"Three big bowls, and finally a bowl of soup."
"..."
Xu Wenbin was silent for a moment and said: "It's really delicious."
"Is it a blessing to be able to eat? Just like me." Zhou Suzhi happily watched the two people disappear before closing the curtains and coming back to sit down. The more she thought about this girl, the happier she felt.
So far, I can only eat a little bit, and there is nothing wrong with it at all.
If she had to choose? Among the foodies who are so full after just two or three small dumplings that they can eat three large bowls, she would definitely choose this edible one.
…
"Have you learned it?"
"Almost? You should be able to do it after practicing a few times."
The temperature dropped sharply at night.
Xu Qing and Jiang He wrapped their clothes tightly and talked thily while walking on the road with small steps.
The two of them regarded this as learning from their master? They planned it for a while at home and learned how to make dumplings for their own entertainment.
"There's a lot of meat at home. I'll buy some flour tomorrow."
Xu Qing hehehezhile, "Practice with confidence!"
"I don't know what's in that stuffing."
“The stuffing is easy to make, Baidu has it.”
Jiang He felt relieved after hearing this, and was a little excited that he had learned something new.
This is much more useful than practicing martial arts, eating something different every day.
Take a taxi home.
Along the way, she was touching her nails and thinking about something. There was a small red flower on the nail of her little finger.
When Xu Qing entered the house, he let out an ouch and went to lie down on the sofa. He took off his coat and lay down comfortably.
Nowhere is as comfortable as your own nest.
"Let me tell you, in the north, you must eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. It's just like eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival or eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. If you don't take a bite, you're missing something.
This is the cultural difference between the north and the south. It’s not just the era, the region is different, and sometimes the cognition is also different..."
Ya started chattering again, holding the winter melon in her hand, squinting at the ceiling, thinking about Jiang He rolling up his sleeves to make dumplings, and a small fire jumped in his heart.
Jiang He listened to him talking there, took off his coat to move around, turned on the computer and waited for it to start up, and suddenly ran to the kitchen to see the fish they had raised.
The fish he bought has not been eaten yet, but it is still alive and well. Xu Qing made a homemade water circulation system. He placed a small tilted basin on the table, and the water trickled down, making splashes in the bucket. According to his words
, this is called bringing oxygen into the water, fake living water.
I learned it from Xu Wenbin, but I don’t know if it’s reliable or not. Anyway, the fish is really not dead, and it will be generous to the two of them when they want to eat it.
"...Their omelette is called poached egg, the omelette we make is called omelette, and the boiled egg is called poached egg. And that tofu poutine, they all like to eat sweet, and we eat salty.
When it comes to the rice dumplings, it’s the other way around. We eat the sweet ones and they eat the salty ones. The taste is so weird..."
Jiang He listened quietly. He didn't play games when the computer was turned on. He just browsed the web and surfed the Internet.
Finally, Xu Qing poured herself a glass of water and peeled an orange to make herself less idle.
"No more?" Jiang He couldn't help but feel that something was missing when he heard that he was silent.
"What?" Xu Qing failed to understand what she meant.
"Say no more?"
"Yeah, what else do you want to hear?"
Hearing Xu Qing's question, Jiang He glanced at him, shook his head, and clicked with the mouse.
This guy always has to turn around at the end of his long talks to trick her into giving her a hug or a hand. Why is it gone today?
"I'm going to take a shower first. You can eat whatever you want. These melon seed candies and the like can be eaten right after you buy them."
Xu Qing saw that she looked strange, scratched his head, and didn't know what was going on. He grabbed two candies and put them next to the computer, then went to the bedroom to get pajamas.
Maybe he was amazed at his profound knowledge.
People who have never participated in jihad don't understand.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Jiang He controlled the mouse and clicked, found Xu Qing's up, and watched his past videos.
The latest issue is Kissing in Ancient Costumes.
Pairs of dogs and men in various postures, some flying and hugging, some lying down and sitting, some holding swords and bleeding on their wedding night before death...
Anyway, just one word: shameless!
