The night is getting darker.
I don't know when the wind picked up outside, and there was a whining sound. Every household turned on the lights and hid in the warm house to prepare dinner.
The floor heating in Xu Wenbin's place is very powerful, much stronger than the radiators where Xu Qing and the others live. Even wearing a sweater feels hot.
"Aren't you going to help?"
"The room is so big, there is no room for me."
The two women were making dumplings and cooking dumplings, busy in the kitchen, the breadwinners of the family were idle, holding teacups in the living room and study room, Xu Qingyan eagerly waited for the dumplings to come out of the pot, and immediately went over to help serve the bowl and pour the vinegar.
"Smells, really smells!"
This guy looked at the few broken dumplings in the pot, and gave Jiang He a thumbs up while shouting "Xiang".
"The dumplings still smell good?"
"Of course, what you two cook is delicious."
Xu Qingdian took the dumplings out, then ran back and waited for Zhou Suzhi to fill the bowl.
The steaming dumplings were put on the table, and there was still a grate of uncooked ones in the kitchen, waiting to be eaten here before they were cooked.
Jiangcheng is purely in the north, unlike the south like corn, shrimp, fish, meat and vegetables, which are usually big meat, no matter beef, mutton or pork, it is a big meatball anyway.
Dumplings with pork and scallions, dipped in vinegar, are delicious.
The whole family ate around the table, Jiang He couldn't talk casually with Xu Qing like usual, but it could be seen from her expression that she liked it very much.
He listened intently to the father and son talking, chatting nonsense from abroad to China, from Jiangcheng to Luocheng.
"Is it delicious?" Zhou Suzhi asked with a smile seeing that she was eating seriously.
"Well, it's super delicious!"
Hearing Jiang He's words, Xu Qing, who was arguing with the old man about why Jiangcheng is not as well developed as Los Angeles, couldn't help but look sideways.
Are you going to say too much now
"Eat more if it tastes good, and cook it when you're done."
Zhou Suzhi's gaze was unusually gentle. When she saw the calluses on Jiang He's palms when she was teaching Jiang He how to make dumplings in the kitchen, she knew that this girl had a difficult life before.
The kind of sweetness that is eaten now is also very rare.
At first I thought Xu Qing was talking nonsense, but now it seems that it is really pitiful. I don't know how much hardship I have suffered when I came out of the valley to Jiangcheng alone.
"I'll come, I'll cook."
Xu Qing ate the dumplings one bite at a time, at most two bites, eating faster than any of them, and graciously went into the kitchen to make dumplings.
Although I don't know how to wrap it, it's very easy to cook, as long as you have your hands.
After the second pot is cooked, just continue to serve. After eating, put a large bowl of dumpling soup on the stomach, and the original soup will turn into the original food.
At the end, Xu Qing, who was full of food and drink, washed the bowls and chopsticks, polished the pot with a steel wool ball, wiped his hands, and was ready to go home.
"I always think that this kid brings his girlfriend here to eat and drink." Xu Wenbin felt that these two people were very good at eating.
"Who can be more lazy than you, do nothing for a day, just wait to eat."
Zhou Suzhi snorted, looked at the figures of the two people downstairs beside the street lamp on the window sill, and said: "This girl is quite real, she is not hypocritical at all, she just ate three bowls."
"How much?" Xu Wenbin really didn't pay attention.
"Three big bowls, and finally another bowl of soup."
"..."
Xu Wenbin was silent for a moment, and said, "It's really edible."
"It's a blessing to be able to eat, just like me." Zhou Suzhi happily watched the two disappear, and then she closed the curtains and came back to sit down. The more she thought about this girl, the happier she became.
So far, it seems that I can eat a little, and there is nothing wrong with it.
If she had to choose, among foodies who would be full after eating two or three small dumplings and could eat three big bowls, she would definitely choose this one that she could eat.
…
"Have you learned it?"
"Almost, just practice a few times and you should be fine."
The temperature dropped sharply at night.
Xu Qing and Jiang He wrapped their clothes tightly, and walked on the road in small steps while talking in a thief.
The two of them regarded this as stealing a teacher to learn a skill, and planned for a while at home, and secretly learned how to make dumplings for their own entertainment.
"There is a lot of meat at home, I will buy some flour tomorrow."
Xu Qing laughed happily, "Don't worry about practicing!"
"I don't know what to put in that stuffing."
"The stuffing is easy to make, and Baidu has it."
Jiang He was relieved when he heard the words, and a little excited that he had learned new things again.
This is much more useful than practicing martial arts, and I change my food every day.
Take a taxi home.
Along the way, she was thinking about her fingernails. There was a small red flower on the nail cover of her little finger.
After entering the house, Xu Qing let out an ouch, went to lie on the sofa, took off his coat, and lay down comfortably.
Nothing is as comfortable as your own nest.
"Let me tell you, in the north, you must eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. This is the same as eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. If you don't have a bite, you will be missing something.
This is the cultural difference between the north and the south, not only the era, but the region is different, and sometimes the cognition is different... "
Ya started chattering again, holding a wax gourd in her hand, squinting at the ceiling, thinking of Jiang He wrapping dumplings with her little sleeves in her head, a little flame twitched in her heart.
Jiang He listened to him talking there, took off his coat to move around, turned on the computer and waited for it to turn on, and suddenly ran to the kitchen to look at the fish they were raising.
The fish I bought was still alive and well. Xu Qing made a water circulation system by himself. A small tilted basin was placed on the table. The water trickled and splashed in the bucket. According to his words , This is called bringing oxygen to the water, fake running water.
I learned from Xu Wenbin, and I don't know if it's reliable or not. Anyway, the fish is really alive, and it will be generous when the two of them want to eat it.
"...their fried eggs are called poached eggs, our fried eggs are called fried eggs, and boiled eggs are called poached eggs. And the tofu nao, they like to eat sweet ones, we eat salty ones.
When it comes to Zongzi, it’s reversed, we eat sweet ones, they eat salty ones, this taste is too weird... "
Jiang He listened quietly, turned on the computer and didn't play games, just browsed the web and surfed the Internet casually.
At the end, Xu Qing poured himself a glass of water after finishing speaking, and peeled an orange to make himself less idle.
"It's gone?" Jiang He heard that he was silent, and couldn't help feeling that something was missing.
"What?" Xu Qing didn't 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 and shook his head, clicking with the mouse.
This guy always has to turn around to trick her into hugging or holding her at the end of the long talk, why is it gone today
"I'm going to take a shower first, you can eat whatever you want, these melon seed candies, you can eat them after you buy them."
Seeing her strange appearance, Xu Qing scratched her head, not knowing what was going on, grabbed two candies and put them next to the computer, then went to the bedroom to get her pajamas.
You may be amazed at his profound knowledge.
People who have not participated in jihad do not understand.
There was the sound of water rushing in the bathroom, Jiang He controlled the mouse and clicked, found Xu Qing's up, and watched his past videos.
The latest issue is Kiss in Costume.
Couples of dogs and men in various poses, flying, hugging, lying, sitting, holding a sword, bleeding, dying on the wedding night...
Anyway, just one word: Shameless!
Jiang He watched the five-minute-long video with staring eyes, feeling that Xu Qing should be finished washing soon, so he silently turned off and turned on the news to watch.
