There was no business on the rainy day. After Zhang Qing bought the meat, they planned to go there directly. By the way, they said to Li Yunshan in the shop, "You will bring Ankang to Zaxiang Meat Restaurant for dinner later."

Li Yunshan glanced at the pork Zhang Qing mentioned and nodded in agreement.

The intestines were still being cooked in the restaurant, and the soup was being warmed over low heat. Huo Chunmei was a little surprised when she saw the two of them. When she saw the meat Zhang Qing was carrying, she asked, "How about fried meat for lunch?"

Zhang Qing shook her head, "Mom, please bring the flour. Xiao Sui wants to teach us how to make dumplings."

Li Ruyi was a little happy and said quickly, "The dumplings are delicious."

Qian Yiyi asked curiously, "What are dumplings?"

Li Ruyi danced for a long time as if she didn't know how to explain it, so she simply said "little bun."

Mao Xiaosui laughed, this statement was correct.

Huo Chunmei hurriedly went after hearing this.

Because the backyard was used as a kitchen, there were a lot of cabinets. Qian Sheng was gone to buy sesame oil. Huo Chunmei took out the white flour from the cabinet and asked Mao Xiaosui, "How much should I pour?"

Mao Xiaosui glanced at the meat and said, "Little half a pot."

Huo Chunmei hurriedly dug out half of the pot, washed the handle and started rolling up her sleeves.

Mao Xiaosui reminded her, "Use warm water, and the water temperature should be lower."

Huo Chunmei quickly obeyed, and Zhang Qing was not idle. She cut the pork into small pieces and started chopping it as Mao Xiaosui said.

Mao Xiaosui also cut a large bowl of green onions.

While he was busy, Qian Sheng came with two cans of sesame oil. Seeing that everyone was busy, he asked, "It's not noon yet, why have you started cooking?"

Zhang Qing's hands were sore from chopping, so she quickly said to Qian Sheng, "Wash your hands and come over to chop the stuffing."

Huo Chunmei explained with a smile, "Xiao Sui wants to teach us how to cook new dishes."

Qian Sheng understood, put away the sesame oil, washed his hands, took the knife from Zhang Qing's hand, and started chopping.

The meat for dumpling fillings needs to be delicate, so just chopping the fillings takes a lot of time and effort.

Mao Xiaosui sat aside to supervise the work and told a few people, "There are no wild vegetables now, otherwise they would be delicious if cooked."

Huo Chunmei had already kneaded the dough and immediately said, "I'll dig it out."

"It's raining." Zhang Qing said, "We'll just do it when the weather clears up."

The drizzle in the morning had turned into light rain. It wasn't heavy but the road would definitely be slippery. Huo Chunmei thought about it and let it go.

After mincing the meat, start seasoning with sesame oil, salt, pepper powder, and chopped green onion.

The pork was originally fat and thin, so she added a little less sesame oil.

After the meat filling is stirred in one direction until it is oily and moist, tell a few people, "The filling must be in this state. If it is all pork, you don't need too much sesame oil. If it is other dishes, you will need to add more sesame oil." .”

Huo Chunmei looked a little distressed, "That's a lot of money."

Mao Xiaosui ignored it and asked her to roll out the dough after the stuffing was mixed.

After the dough was rolled out, she cut it into squares and taught several people how to wrap ingots. She pinched the dough into dough and rolled it into a circle again, teaching them how to wrap other shapes.

There are so many dumplings filled with meat stuffing in the half soup basin that Qian Sheng is about to cook them.

Mao Xiaosui told him not to worry. He first poured sesame oil into the pot and fried it for two plates, and then asked him to pour water into the pot.

Li Ruyi and Qian Yiyi couldn't wait to eat. Zhang Qing also quickly picked one up and put it in his mouth to taste, and said with some surprise, "It tastes better than steamed buns."

Qian Sheng added some fire to the stove and came to taste it. He found that it was indeed delicious, and then settled the accounts.

Pork costs sixty copper coins, sesame oil counts as five, other seasonings count as three, noodles count as thirty, and the total is counted as one hundred.

The dumplings are not small. If you count fifteen pieces per bowl, there are almost fifteen bowls of these, which works out to seven copper coins.

And this is pure pork. If vegetables are put in it, the cost will be lower.

"It's not expensive." Qian Sheng said, "There's still some left, why not try selling it at noon?"

"How much is appropriate?" Zhang Qing looked at Mao Xiaosui.

Mao Xiaosui looked at Qian Sheng.

Qian Sheng hesitated and said, "Thirty?"

"Let's try it." Mao Xiaosui said, "Remember to use pork bone soup. This will save you the dipping sauce."

Qian Sheng happily agreed.

Mao Xiaosui reminded them, "If you use vegetables, remember to recalculate and reprice."

Qian Sheng nodded and asked her, "How do you get wild vegetables?"

Mao Xiaosui: "Blank it in water and chop it into pieces. When you dig it, separate the bitter ones from the non-bitter ones. I think the non-bitter ones are more fragrant. You can try it and decide for yourself."

Li Ruyi and Qian Yiyi almost finished a plate of fried dumplings. After hearing this, they immediately said, "Rabbit meat is the best."

Mao Xiaosui immediately denied, "Rabbit meat is not suitable for vegetables. There is not much meat in one rabbit. It requires a lot of sesame oil. The cost is too high and it is not suitable for making dumplings."

Even so, Zhang Qing was also curious about the taste and asked her, "How many do we want for a meal as a family?"

Mao Xiaosui: "About five or six."

"Then bring six of them over if you have time, and we can have a taste."

"Okay." Mao Xiaosui agreed.

It was almost time now, and the guests coming to dine were arriving one after another.

Huo Chunmei smiled and asked the guest, "We have newly made boiled and fried dumplings. Do you want to try one?"

Zhang Qing came out with fried dumplings and introduced, "They are all made of pork, and this one is also thirty."

The man hesitated, but finally ordered pork offal, and the other ordered fried dumplings.

The two of them came together. The one who ordered pork offal curiously asked the one who ordered fried dumplings, "Does it taste good?"

The man nodded, "It's delicious, you can try it."

The one who asked for offal also took one. After finishing the meal, he nodded, "I'll eat it too next time."

"There are also boiled ones. The soup is pork bone soup. In the future, there will also be stuffed with wild vegetables, cabbage, green vegetables..." Huo Chunmei said with a smile.

The man nodded and started eating his offal again.

As there were more and more people in the store, many people looked at the fried dumplings curiously. After hearing the man's affirmative answer, many people wanted to try them.

Fortunately, there were not many people, and there were enough portions. After deciding what they wanted to fry or boil, Huo Chunmei quickly called Qian Sheng to work.

The dumplings had been sold out when Li Yunshan came with Li Ankang, and Mao Xiaosui and Li Ruyi were full by now.

Qian Sheng made pig offal for them, and Mao Xiaosui waited for them to finish eating before bidding them farewell and going out.

At this moment, the rain turned to drizzle again. Mao Xiaosui was holding Li Ruyi when he suddenly noticed that her steps were slower. Following her line of sight, he saw a thin figure diagonally ahead, holding a basket in his hand. Wearing a bamboo hat, his trouser legs and clothes were wet.

As soon as Li Ruyi raised her hand, she glanced at Mao Xiaosui, and then put her hand down obediently.

Mao Xiaosui didn't recognize who it was at first, but after seeing Li Ruyi's reaction, he guessed that it was probably the person who came to Li Ruyi to ask for steamed buns.

When they got closer, the man seemed to have seen them, waved to Li Ruyi, and then entered from the alley.

Li Ruyi kept turning her head to look back and asked Mao Xiaosui, "Did he go get wild vegetables?"

Mao Xiaosui nodded.

I heard Li Ruyi say again, "He has no parents and has to raise younger brothers and sisters. He is so pitiful."

Mao Xiaosui said nothing and pulled her forward.
