The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

At noon that day, the corn that was to be used as the public grain tax was rubbed, so we didn't have to work in the afternoon.

Qi Feifei, Zhu Li and Liu Yumei walked back.

I saw a man standing at the door of the collective household, with a large backpack and a bag of Fuqiang flour at his feet.

Qi Feifei frowned. What was he doing?

Liu Yumei had already walked over quickly, "Comrade Qi, why are you here?"

Qi Laoqi, "I'm waiting for Pan Xiaowen and the others. Are you guys off work?"

Liu Yumei, "They just got off work. They are packing corn bags. They will be back in a while. Can you come in and sit down?"

At this time, Zhu Li and Qi Feifei also came over.

Qi Laoqi greeted Zhu Li and Qi Feifei, "Hello, is it convenient for me to come in and wait for you?"

Julie, "Come in, it's cool in the yard, wait inside!"

Qi Laoqi picked up his things and followed him into the courtyard.

"Comrade Qi, I got these for Pan Xiaowen, do you think I can put them there?"

Qi Feifei turned around and said, "He will be back soon, give it to him later!"

Qi Laoqi smiled and said, "Put the things away first. It won't look good with so many people coming and going."

Qi Feifei, "Okay, bring it in then."

Qi Feifei walked in, and Qi Laoqi followed him into the inner room carrying something.

Liu Yumei followed behind, leaning against the door frame, "What are these? They must cost a lot of money, right?"

Qi Laoqi said with a serious face, "Comrade, can you step aside for a moment?"

Liu Yumei was embarrassed, "Oh! This is still a secret?! Okay, I'll stay away!"

She turned and went to the kitchen to cook with Julie.

Qi Laoqi gave Qi Feifei a note and four hundred yuan.

He lowered his voice and said, “If you have any problem, go to the county, you can find me here.

There are 400 bullets in these things, and the rest are things from the slaughterhouse. I don’t know what you like to eat, so just take some.”

Qi Feifei, "Leave me your address. How much are these things? I'll give them to you."

Qi Laoqi, "You saved the lives of the three of us, but you didn't let us express our gratitude at all. I feel uneasy. Just keep it. I'm leaving."

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

Qi Feifei flipped through it and put the bullets underneath into the courtyard.

There was also a pair of lantern hangings, fatty intestines, rice intestines, a pig's stomach, a piece of ribs, a piece of front trough, and a piece of pork belly in the backpack.

That costs a lot of money!

Qi Feifei carried the front trough out.

"Comrade Qi, please eat here at noon. We will make dumplings. Thank you very much."

Qi Laoqi, "It just so happens that my relative is slaughtering pigs, and he will sell them to anyone, so I just lend a hand.

This is the right time, otherwise I would have nowhere to go. "

This means that the pork is not obtained through backdoor channels, but is obtained legitimately.

Qi Feifei washed the two pounds of fish in the front trough and put them on the chopping board. Just then, Wang Bin and the others came into the yard.

"Wang Bin, come and stack the meat and make dumplings."

Wang Bin didn't even have time to talk to Qi Laoqi. He just nodded and went to wash his hands and make stuffing.

Pan Xiaowen greeted Qi Laoqi enthusiastically, "Brother Qi, why are you here?"

Before he could continue, Qi Feifei shouted, "Pan Xiaowen, go to the vegetable cellar and get some cabbage and green onions."

Pan Xiaowen immediately responded and went.

Qi Laoqi sucked his teeth and said: This girl is amazing, whoever marries her will be a henpecked husband!

Qi Feifei went into the house, grabbed six bowls of flour, and brought out a basin.

"Xu Zhiqiang, come and knead the dough."

Qi Laoqi: Don’t just sit there doing nothing!

Qi Feifei went to light the fire and boil water herself.

Put the peppercorns and star anise in a small bowl and add half a bowl of boiling water.

Pan Xiaowen brought up the cabbage and green onions.

Qi Feifei instructed Pan Xiaowen, "Wash the cabbage and blanch it with boiling water."

Chop the green onions yourself.

After Wang Bin had chopped the meat filling, Qi Feifei asked Pan Xiaowen to prepare the cabbage filling.

She was preparing the filling while teaching Wang Bin.

"You need to use seasoning water, add it slowly, and stir in one direction."

After the meat filling is done, have Pan Xiaowen add the squeezed cabbage and continue to mix it. Finally, add the cooked oil.

Xu Zhiqiang put the table up and everyone started making dumplings. Qi Feifei taught them one by one, but none of them knew how to make dumplings.

Seeing how difficult it was, Qi Laoqi also joined in.

There are many kinds of dumplings.

When things were getting lively, Li Danni came in from outside.

After seeing this scene, he went out again.

No one cares.

Not long after, the captain arrived.

"Comrade Xiao Qi, when did you come here?"

Qi Laoqi, "I just came over a while ago and happened to catch them making dumplings, so I followed to join in the fun."

Captain, "It's rare, rare, you are so lucky!"

Liu Yumei said, "He came to deliver the meat. With Qi Feifei's temper, can we not make dumplings for him?"

Qi Feifei: Why are you so rude?

Isn't it offending if we only send meat to them and not to the captain's home?

"Pan Xiaowen asked him to make it last time. It's getting cold, so eat something good to replenish your body and avoid getting cold."

Pan Xiaowen, huh? "Yes, yes, last time I came, he said he could get some meat."

Qi Feifei, "It just so happened that his relative was slaughtering a pig, and he not only bought the meat for us, but also took a piece for the team leader. It's in the house. He wanted to send it over, but we said we were making dumplings right now, so he should finish eating before going. I'll go get it now."

Qi Laoqi's eyes followed back and forth, huh? !

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic. They insisted that I eat dumplings. Otherwise, I would have gone to the captain's house for lunch."

Captain, "Don't be polite when you come here. When you arrive, you can go to my house. I dare not say that the food is delicious, but there will be plenty of hot meals."

Qi Laoqi, "Of course, next time I come, I'll go to your house first."

Qi Feifei went into the house, took out the piece of pork belly and handed it to Qi Laoqi.

"Just chat with the captain. You don't need to help make dumplings. We're busy now. Remember to come back and eat dumplings later. Otherwise, Xiaowen will have to treat you."

We can't let the captain carry him back by himself, can we?

Qi Laoqi stood up, picked up the meat, and followed the captain out the door.

When Qi Laoqi came back from chatting with the team leader for a while, the dumplings were just out of the pot.

Qi Feifei served a small bowl to Zhu Li.

Pan Xiaowen and the other two were setting up the table. When they saw Qi Laoqi coming in, they quickly invited him to take a seat.

Xu Zhiqiang also mashed the garlic.

Pan Xiaowen held the sesame oil bottle and dropped two drops of sesame oil into each person's bowl.

Wang Bin added soy sauce to each small bowl.

Qi Laoqi sighed in his heart: This team is really well-trained and has great coordination!

Several people ate one dumpling at a time, and their mouths were covered with grease.

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten such delicious dumplings!

Qi Laoqi also praised it highly, saying that it was the most delicious dumplings he had ever eaten in his life.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, the dumplings are indeed delicious.

The meat is fresh and fragrant, the cabbage is slightly sweet, crispy and tender, and it is paired with the rich aroma of noodles, garlic sauce, and sesame oil.

Qi Feifei had indeed not tasted anything like this for decades!

There were more than 300 dumplings, and in the end there was not a single dumpling left for the five people.

Each of them drank a bowl of dumpling soup.

Original soup into original food.

If it hadn’t been eaten up, I think a few guys would have been able to eat more.

Qi Feifei was so happy that she said, "Let's have another meal when the pickled vegetables come down."

Pan Xiaowen, "Yes, yes, yes, when Brother Qi comes, we can pack more and eat as much as we can."

Wang Bin silently refilled Qi Feifei's bowl of dumpling soup.
