The chef took an egg, nibbled it on the edge of the porcelain basin, then split the eggshell in half, and the egg white with golden yolk fell into the basin.
"How many do you want to fight, uncle?" Qin Lili asked obediently.
"Just twenty will do!" the chef said with a smile.
The task of beating eggs was left to the children, while the chef poured oil into the large iron pot, filling half of the pot.
The oils in this era were all made from rapeseed at home, which is natural and fragrant.
After adding oil to the pan, you will smell a faint fragrance of rapeseeds after a while.
Ling Xiaowei and the others also cracked twenty eggs.
"Uncle, our eggs are ready!" Ling Chunxia hit the last one, and after finishing the beating, she raised her hands and shouted actively.
Just like reporting to the teacher in school, I acted very proactively, for fear that others would not know.
"Okay! What a good boy, uncle will give you meat dumplings to eat later." The chef chuckled and mixed the things in the porcelain basin together. After mixing evenly, he took a porcelain spoon in one hand and a porcelain spoon in the other.
After it has been immersed in the pasta water for a while, scoop out the meat paste with a spoon, and then shake it in your hand. The meat paste in the spoon turns into a round dumpling in the other hand.
As soon as the dumplings are ready, put them in the pot!
The oil in the pan was just hot enough, and the meat dumplings went into the pan one after another.
When it was almost full, the chef used a slotted spoon to turn the meat dumplings in the pot.
There was a sizzling sound in the oil pan, and gradually a fresh aroma of meaty flavor spread.
A wedding banquet with the smell of meat dumplings is a real wedding banquet. Ling Xiaowei couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She missed this taste so much. She had eaten this before, but she never knew it was made this way.
Today she understood and learned.
"Get the bowl quickly." Qin Lili pulled Ling Xiaowei and Ling Chunxia.
The three of them each took a bowl from the washed dishes and chopsticks, and then all stood at the side dish table in front of the chef.
The first pot of meat dumplings came out. The steaming, golden fried meat dumplings were each so round. Looking at the steaming dumplings in the porcelain basin, the three of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
.
It’s all meat! There are also eggs. Just thinking about it makes me salivate.
"Come on, kids, uncle will fry some older ones for you." The chubby chef said with a smile, and the big spoon in his hand kept stirring in the pot.
After a while, he picked up a spoonful of fried meat dumplings with a slightly darker color. This was what he called Lao. The dumplings were more cooked and the skin was crispier.
After a while, everyone got three large dumplings in their bowls.
Ling Xiaowei looked at the three dumplings in the bowl and swallowed hard.
One for her father, one for Mingming, and one for herself. Ling Xiaowei picked up one and was about to bite it, but when she thought of Zhang Cuifen, it was a little unreasonable not to give her one.
Forget it! Just bring it to her!
She should still have something to eat here.
"Yeah! It's really delicious! Uncle, the dumplings you made are so delicious." Ling Chunxia's mouth was full of oil, and her eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.
"Haha!" The uncle chef laughed happily. "Hey, little girl, why don't you eat it!" The uncle saw Ling Xiaowei holding the bowl, picking up a dumpling and putting it down, then picking it up again and putting it down again.
"I can't bear to eat it. I want to take it back to my father and brother to eat," Ling Xiaowei said.
"What a good boy. Come on, uncle will get you some more." The uncle chef said and took out a colander of dumplings from the pot, then poured four or five into Ling Xiaowei's bowl.
Wow! So many! Ling Xiaowei was so happy.
Qin Lili and Ling Chunxia looked at it with jealousy.
"Thank you, uncle!" Ling Xiaowei bowed slightly to the chef.
"I'll go back first and come back later." Ling Xiaowei took the bowl and ran towards her home.
While running, she carefully protected the bowl. When she was almost home, she was tired from running, so she slowed down and couldn't help but take a dumpling and take a bite.
It was crispy in the mouth and overflowing with meat flavor. It was really delicious. She finished the meat dumpling in three or four bites. It was fragrant and crispy. There were water chestnuts in it, so it was not greasy at all and was crispy.
Ling Xiaowei couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick the corner of her mouth.
"Dad, I'm back!" Ling Xiaowei couldn't help shouting happily as she walked to the door carrying the bowl.
After entering the room, Zhang Cuifen was dressing Mingming. She was a little surprised when she saw Ling Xiaowei coming back with meat dumplings, "Where did you get this from?"
"This is a wedding event later. Ling Chunxia, Qin Lili, and I were helping there. The uncle chef gave it to me." Ling Xiaowei said as she poured the meat dumplings in the bowl into her own bowl. There were eight in total.
.
Enough for them to eat.
When she saw something delicious, she immediately pointed at the bowl and shouted, "Eat, eat...Mom wants to eat!"
"Obviously, sister, there are still candies and apples here!" Ling Xiaowei took out a handful of candies from her pocket and put the apples on the small stool beside the bed.
When Ming Ming heard about Tang, his eyes lit up. He raised his red face, stretched out his hand and said eagerly: "Tang! I want sugar."
Children all love sweets, and the children over two years old are obviously addicted to sugar. As soon as they got the candy, they peeled off the candy wrapper by themselves. They did not peel it off for a long time, and they burst into tears and pursed their lips.
Looking at Ling Xiaowei with tears in her eyes.
Ling Xiaowei couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw Mingming crying anxiously. She took the candy and said to Mingming: "Be good, Mingming, sister will peel the candy for you."
Ming Ming, who had eaten the candy, looked satisfied.
"Dad, I wasn't at home to eat at noon. I'm leaving." Ling Xiaowei picked up the bowl and left. When she left, she also picked up an extra bowl from her own home. She wanted to go prepared and wait until then.
Return with a full load!
Ling Guoqiang shouted from behind: "Xiaowei! Whose house are you going to? You have to come back early."
Ling Xiaowei had already ran out of the house and did not hear Ling Guoqiang's words.
In the room, Zhang Cuifen said: "It's the Zhang family at the east end of the village. The third son of his family has a wife."
"Oh!" Ling Guoqiang hummed. He knew the Zhang family in the east. He knew all the three sons of his family. They all played together when they were young, but after they got married, they didn't interact much with each other.
But sometimes we would still chat and drink together when we met, but since I broke my leg, these people no longer interact with each other.
"I didn't expect that Zhang San, the boss, would marry a wife today." Ling Guoqiang said with emotion.
Zhang Cuifen had an unhappy look on her face, and her working movements became a little heavier, and she said with some sourness: "I spent money, so I can't get a wife. Not only did I spend a lot of money, I also held a banquet."
Women all love to compare, and Zhang Cuifen is no exception.
Today when she went to dig vegetables in the vegetable field, she was ridiculed by some gossipy women in the village. Those people laughed at her for being worthless and brought a son to the house. They didn't even provide a wedding banquet.
