Qin Rou silently ate breakfast with tears in her eyes. The stack of sausages made her heart ache. This, this... is actually steamed sausages. It would be great if they were steamed on rice. The fat of the sausages and the aroma of the sausages are all melted together into the rice grains.
instead of...
Violence!
Qin Rou looked at Lu Yan and said coolly, "What do you want for lunch?"
Now it was her turn to ask the question of the soul.
Lu Yan replied without thinking, "Let's make dumplings."
He loves to eat dumplings since he was a child, and today he happens to have time to make a dumpling. He eats dumplings during the New Year and holidays, and also eats dumplings during the holidays.
Qin Rou: "I don't know how to make dumplings!!"
Qin Rou seldom makes pasta. She usually wants to eat steamed buns and dumplings. She goes to the breakfast shop to buy them early in the morning. Who would make dumplings by herself? Only when the school and work units are engaged in team building activities will they buy some dumpling wrappers, make homemade fillings, and make a few symbolic dumplings for comfort.
If you want to make dumplings, the filling is easy to solve, but how do you get the dumpling skin
No one sells dumpling wrappers these days.
Lu Yan was startled: "Is there anyone who doesn't know how to make dumplings?!"
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't know how to make dumplings
Qin Rou: "..."
Is it amazing to be able to make dumplings? Qin Rou took out a rolling pin from the kitchen and wanted to hammer him!
She looked down at the rolling pin in her hand. When did you buy this rolling pin
Before she was almost hammered by her, Lu Yan went out for a trip and moved into the family courtyard for a new home. On the first day, there was always a lot of things to buy. Although he bought a lot in Guangcheng, he still had to buy things when he arrived in Lucheng.
Lu Yan has just arrived at the base, and there are still two days left to resettle the family room, which can be regarded as two days of vacation.
Qin Rou paid him a few hundred dollars, and Lu Yan drove a military transport vehicle to find a batch of furniture from the villagers, simple tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes and bookshelves, and he also found an old carpenter in the village to buy wood, please The carpenter helped himself to a dresser.
Qin Rou asked him to make some rectangular wooden troughs and square wooden troughs to grow vegetables on the second-floor terrace in the future. She explained the size and depth, and Lu Yan said that he would go get some wood in the afternoon and make it himself.
He can't handle complicated furniture, but he can make simple wooden troughs by himself.
Qin Rou was quite surprised that he could drive.
Lu Yan came back after pulling a batch of furniture, and brought back a Phoenix brand bicycle and a dilapidated small freezer. Qin Rou was not surprised to see the bicycle. She had discussed it with Lu Yan before, and she definitely needed a bicycle at home. , she can ride a bike.
Qin Rou also took the driver's license test before. Although she has a four-wheeled driver's license, she chooses to share bicycles and Didi taxis when traveling on weekdays.
"This is... a freezer?!"
Qin Rou was not surprised when she saw the bicycle, but she was pleasantly surprised when she saw the old small freezer. Although the small green freezer was a bit worn out and the paint on the outer shell was peeling off, it was a freezer!
The small broken freezer is very small, only about one-third of a cubic meter. It is different from modern refrigerators. It has no refrigeration and preservation part, and it can only be frozen. Once you put it in, it will be frozen for you.
"Well, be careful when using it. Don't power it up in rainy or typhoon weather."
"It used to be filled with medicine, and there might be a little smell of medicine. I asked someone to disinfect and wash it, don't mind."
This freezer used to be medical equipment, and it was half out of use. Lu Yan spent money to find someone to buy it.
"Yeah." Qin Rou expressed her understanding, it would be nice to have something to use, at least this is the freezer used to hold medicinal materials, not the freezer in the forensic room, and no weird things have been frozen.
After throwing a few salted fish into it, there is no smell of medicine.
It would be great to have a freezer in this era. Refrigeration equipment has not yet been popularized for civilian use, let alone refrigerators. Most of the refrigeration and refrigeration are used in medical equipment. After the economy is liberalized, medical factories will switch to selling refrigerators for civilian use.
This freezer cannot be kept cold for a long time, so be prepared for frequent power outages.
Qin Rou was very curious about how Lu Yan would come back with the idea of getting a small freezer, and she asked, "Do you have a freezer on your ship?"
"have."
After going to sea for a month or so, we naturally need a refrigerator to store some frozen sublimated vegetables. After eating the fresh ones, we will have to eat other ones later.
Qin Rou also unexpectedly learned that there are ovens on some boats? ! !
oven? ! ! !
How strange!
Thinking about it later, it was also true. To eat and live on board, there must be a kitchen on board. Now many of them imitate the Soviet style. People’s eating habits are to use ovens. I copied my homework here and copied it.
You can eat toast with an oven, but steamed bun lovers like Lu Yan definitely don't like bread.
For the sake of Lu Yan getting back the bicycle and the small freezer, Qin Rou decided to obey him to eat dumplings at noon.
Dumplings are just dumplings, let him roll the dough by himself, Qin Rou really doesn't know how to make dumpling skins.
While kneading the dough, Lu Yan told her that there are troops in the base here who are responsible for going out to sea to fish and fish. Every time they make large batches, each team will go to get supplies, and a small part of them will be supplied to family members. The price is cheap, which symbolizes Get some money for sex.
"Pay attention to the tide time, sooner or later you can go to the beach with your sister-in-law to catch the sea, and pick up big oysters..."
"By the way, be careful when you pass the coconut trees with your children, don't be hit by falling coconuts."
In this world, there are people who are crushed to death by coconuts. Coconut trees grow tall one by one. Coconuts grow on the trees. If no one picks them, they will fall by themselves after a long time. to the head, that could be life threatening.
"Oh, I see."
Lu Yan was kneading the noodles while Qin Rou was preparing the dumpling stuffing. When Lu Yan brought the freezer back, he brought some seafood. In this place, people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea. They don’t grow vegetables at home. Eat seafood or only eat seafood.
Some time ago, we were hit by a typhoon, and many vegetables suffered from setbacks and were infested with insects. Everyone has nothing to eat these days.
Qin Rou found mung beans and prepared to hatch bean sprouts, but found that Lu Yan had already soaked soybeans yesterday. It seems that he is also experienced.
Wait a few more days to eat bean sprouts!
Lu Yan also shared her experience and taught her how to urge bean sprouts. Qin Rou hummed in her heart, thinking that my sister, when I taught children to hatch bean sprouts, I monitored and observed them in real time. I have read hundreds of experience posts, and I have already experienced many battles. .
Qin Rou prepared two kinds of fillings, one was tilapia and the other was squid. They simply added some oyster sauce and marinated with ginger and garlic, and finally cracked two eggs into it.
When Lu Yan woke up, she started rolling out the dumpling wrappers. Qin Rou and the two children came over curiously, and the four of them made dumplings together.
Lu Yan gave her a Xiuyu rolling pin, and Qin Rou thought it was too heavy, so she replaced it with a wooden one.
Lu Yan: "..."
In the end, I still use it myself.
Qin Rou saw that he took a small piece of dough, sprinkled some flour, rolled the rolling pin on it, and a dumpling skin appeared.
It looks very simple too!
It was Qin Rou's turn to do it herself. With flour on her hands, she picked up the rolling pin and rubbed it on the dough. The final product turned out to be...
It seems that this rolling pin is not very obedient.
How to rub out a polygon? ? ! ! It's like an excavator leaving countless car marks on a muddy road after a rain.
This dumpling wrapper is not round, there is a piece here, there is a piece there, it is obviously a rolling pin, why is she not flexible at all when kneading.
Lu Yan looked up and saw her finished product: "..."
It turns out that there are really people in this world who can't make dumplings.
Qin Rou: "..."
"Look at my movements."
"Is it going to spin and roll?"
Rotate the dough
Qin Rou imagined herself as a chef throwing flying cakes in a hot pot restaurant. She tried her best to rotate and knead the rolling pin. After a lot of hard work, she finally made an oval dough, although its corners were still made of gears. shape, but it at least serves as a dumpling wrapper.
It's just that the thin thickness is a bit strange, and it's too thin around.
Lu Yan: "...I'll do it."
Qin Rou: "????!!!"
He despises her! !
Well, it's true that the rolling is not very good, but life can't be just dumplings.
Qin Rou gave up, Lu Yan rolled the dumpling wrappers, and she took the two children to make dumplings. Of course, these two children can only be an atmosphere group and cannot be child laborers.
After Chen Jingyi got along with the talkative and optimistic little chubby these few days, the relationship between the two has improved a lot, and it is more fun to be with playmates of the same age.
Although Chen Jingyi is often in a daze and unwilling to make a sound, no matter what others call him, Xia Mingxi is a social genius who can't stand him. He doesn't hold grudges. You shouldn't answer me.
These two children are also interesting, one doesn't like to respond to people, and the other has a social ceiling, and they have to do something with you if they have nothing to do.
Putting the two together, Qin Rou is very relieved, Chen Jingyi can't be autistic even if he wants to.
The two of them have never quarreled. Chen Jingyi's appearance is not someone who can lose his temper and quarrel with others, but the little fat man, with a big heart and a fat body, is especially able to explain himself. He complains every day that my uncle bullies me, but he is very clingy to him, especially Don't hold grudges, be cheerful.
One person rolled the dough and one made the dumplings. The husband and wife made the dumplings very quickly. They made hundreds of large dumplings in a short while.
Qin Rou looked at the big dumplings that looked like gold ingots in front of her, and suddenly realized that making dumplings is really a hassle-free job.
This made her a little unaccustomed to cooking Cantonese cuisine.
It's so lively that everyone can participate together. Qin Rou has never made dumplings with anyone before, let alone the people around her now are all her "family".
It was the first time for Qin Rou, who had lived alone for more than ten years, to have so many family members. She liked the atmosphere of making dumplings together.
"After wrapping the dumplings, boil them directly in water?" Don't you need any soup or something
"right."
"Can this dumpling stuffing be cooked? I knew that the dumpling stuffing should be steamed first, otherwise it would keep rolling, the dumpling skin would be torn, and the dumpling stuffing wouldn't be cooked yet."
"Add cold water."
"oh."
It turns out that cold water should be added halfway.
Qin Rou watched him cook dumplings, and found that the boiled dumplings were quite knowledgeable, order cold water, open the lid, anyway, she has never cooked dumplings.
No, she has participated in community activities and cooked dumplings, but they cook dumplings here, the craftsmanship is really not very good, they all use dumpling skins bought outside, once boiled, the dumplings will fall apart, not very tasty, eat the skin Soup bar.
What Lu Yan cooked were big dumplings with unbroken skins!
Of course, she is also responsible for it, after all, she made the dumplings! Although Qin Rou doesn't know how to roll the dough, the dumplings she made by herself are very beautiful, without any tricks, just fat Jin Yuanbao dumplings.
A total of four pots were cooked. Yes, eating dumplings is so bold. Lu Yan ate a super big pot, Qin Rou a small pot, and the two cubs a small pot.
There were some dumplings left, so Qin Rou put them in the freezer to freeze.
There are two stacks of sauce in the middle.
Qin Rou picked up a big dumpling filled with squid and found that the taste was not bad. The dumpling skin was strong. The dumpling skin rolled by herself was really delicious. The squid inside was smooth and sweet, and it was very chewy, even with a shallow texture. The eggs are fragrant and so delicious that the tongue is dancing happily.
She just took a bite of a dumpling.
It's delicious without sauce. Qin Rou likes the delicious soup splashing out when she bites the dumpling skin. The deliciousness of the fish has long been melted into the soup. It's moist, without MSG, and has the ultimate taste fresh.
It feels good to eat dumplings, of course, it would be even better if you eat them in the morning.
She must save the frozen dumplings in the freezer for tomorrow morning!
After resting for a while in the afternoon, two umbrellas were set up in the yard. Military umbrellas are very large. One umbrella can hide four people. Two umbrellas are equivalent to two small pergolas. Although the weather in Qiongzhou Island is hot, As long as the sun is blocked, when the sea breeze blows on the body, it is like a natural fan, which is very comfortable and does not feel hot.
Lu Yan helped her make a wooden trough under the umbrella, and Qin Rou rode a bicycle to buy vegetable seeds, an adult hen and seven or eight chicks at the location pointed by Yang's sister-in-law.
Qin Rou used bamboo to surround them with a small home in the yard, and simply built a small bamboo shed to shade them. She is good at handwork, and she has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition, she used to be a kindergarten teacher and worked on environment creation all day long. I couldn't help but turn the chicken pen into a playground of interest.
She still felt dissatisfied, she was really obsessed with obsessive-compulsive disorder, these bamboos didn't look good when inserted.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of wood on Qiongzhou Island. Qin Rou drew the design and asked Lu Yan, who was doing carpentry to make wooden troughs, to help her make the wooden fence.
This wooden fence is not complicated. The vertical fence and two horizontal fences look like countless "well" characters. The small wooden fence can't block anything except chickens, and it's a bit inexplicable. interest.
Qin Rou: "In the future, we will also surround our house with a wooden fence."
Environment creation, how can it not be beautiful! ! ! ! ! Too ugly will affect the aesthetic taste of the cute baby at home.
Fortunately, Lu Yan, who was born in the military, also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The wooden boards were nailed neatly for her, and the wooden grooves she made were very beautiful.
Lu Yan: "..." He still has to learn carpentry in the future
Lu Yan found out that his wife's carpentry work was also good. The couple made a wooden fence together, you handed them nails and I used a hammer, and two children played with chickens in the yard.
The coconut shells eaten yesterday have been cut open, and the snow-white coconut meat is spread out in the yard to dry. After drying, it can be used as fertilizer or fed to chickens.
Of course, you can't feed too much coconut meat to chickens, because coconut meat is high in fat.
The couple finished the small fence, and Qin Rou asked Lu Yan to help her dig a small piece of land in the yard, while she helped the finished wooden troughs upstairs, brought buckets of soil, and smashed the broken coconut shells Put it on the bottom, ready to sow vegetable seeds.
She plans to grow lettuce, leeks, cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, ginger and garlic on the terrace first.
These are more suitable for planting on balconies, and they are relatively simple. They are homely items, and Qin Rou knows how to plant them.
Planted on the balcony on the second floor, if there is a strong wind and heavy rain, it can still be rescued inside the house, Qin Rou is very considerate.
Lu Yan picked up the hoe and looked at the land in front of him in a daze: "..."
It's making fences and digging the ground. Army officers have never done this before.
—Is this the trouble after owning a family room
