Leisurely with the wind

Because of the damned biological clock, even though Chu Suifeng was very tired, she still opened her eyes at six o'clock in the morning, and she knew the time without even looking at her phone, because she had always woken up at this time for so many years.

Sighing, Chu Suifeng resigned himself to getting up and washing up. The wild vegetables dug up yesterday needed to be processed in time. Although they could be put in the freezer of the refrigerator, Chu Suifeng felt that the shepherd's purse from that precious land was enough for people like himself to eat. Go ahead, there is no need to save it at all, after all shepherd's purse can be picked almost all year round.

Therefore, Chu Suifeng intends to get rid of all these shepherd's purses. As for the solution, of course it is to make dumplings!

Chu Suifeng likes to eat dumplings very much, but she eats less. Shepherd's purse dumplings are her favorite.After walking to the supermarket and buying all the ingredients, Chu Suifeng started to make dumplings.

There are a lot of shepherd's purse itself, and with the addition of pork and dried tofu, after these ingredients, Chu Suifeng obtained the fillings for two large washbasins.Chu Suifeng intends to use this kind of large washbasin as a spare. Having worked in the kitchen, she thinks this kind of washbasin is still necessary when visiting the supermarket. After buying it, she regrets it, because this is not where she used to work. This is just a private villa, and this kind of washbasin that can almost be used as a footbath is not useful at all.

So Chu Suifeng put these two washbasins into the warehouse, intending to use them as spare footbaths, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to use them today, Chu Suifeng suddenly admired his foresight.

The fillings were somewhat beyond Chu Suifeng's expectations. Looking at the dough he had prepared, Chu Suifeng suspected that it was not enough, but now he can only make it now. Considering the portion, Chu Suifeng decided to make Northeast dumplings, because she really didn't have enough dough. Gongfu turned these fillings into small and exquisite dumplings by himself. The Northeast dumplings are simple and convenient to make. They are dumplings anyway. I believe no one will mind what shape they are.

Chu Suifeng was sweating alone in the kitchen, but Xu Youran and Lin Keren woke up naturally after waking up. After waking up, they yelled to eat. Are you celebrating the New Year with these two goods?

After blinding the two of them, Chu Suifeng directed them to cook underwater dumplings. She felt that at least she should teach them how to cook dumplings, so that after she collapsed from exhaustion today, someone could prepare a normal Chinese for her. Food that everyone likes instead of barely cooked lettuce like last night.

The dumplings, which were already very big, became even bigger after they were cooked, almost every one was as big as the palm of your hand. Xu Youran and Lin Keren lay down on the sofa after eating ten of them each, watching Chu Suifeng alone He rolled his eyes vigorously.

Considering that they were not able to go fishing by the stream this weekend, it would probably disappoint the old men. It happened to be lunch time again, so Chu Suifeng simply directed the two to continue cooking dumplings and deliver them to the old men.

Chu Suifeng is not capable of feeding these old men’s families together, but it’s okay for a few old men to eat to their heart’s content. What’s more, shepherd’s purse has good effects on lowering blood pressure, nourishing the stomach, and anti-cancer. It’s good for the old men to eat.

Knowing that Chu Suifeng was going to deliver dumplings to some old men, Xu Youran and Lin Keren showed amazing enthusiasm. After cooking the dumplings quickly, they took the pot away because they didn't have a big enough plate. , bowls and chopsticks and seasonings are indispensable.

Sure enough, the sent dumplings were very popular, and several old men rushed to grab the dumplings. They didn't even catch fish and wanted to come to Xu Youran's villa to grab dumplings. But after arriving at the villa, Chu Suifeng was making dumplings in full swing. The old men were dissatisfied.

"What's going on? Why are there so many fillings, girl Xu, girl Lin, you don't want to help?"

"That's right, look at Xiao Chu's tiredness, old man Chu, let's not grab it, it's not easy for a little girl to make these dumplings, if we old guys grab it, I guess the little girl won't be able to eat a few if she's exhausted. "

"That's right, little girl, let me make dumplings for you. I'll tell you, the old man knew how to make dumplings before, and I'll let you see the old man's skills today."

"Hey, Old Lin, did you think you were the only one who knew how to make dumplings? When the old man made dumplings, you were still alive with mud!"

"Okay, old Cao, no one knows how to brag. It's a mule or a horse that comes out."

The old men started to roll up their sleeves to help, Xu Youran and Lin Keren watched anxiously, but the stubborn old men wouldn't listen to them.

Chu Suifeng didn't think there was any problem, he smiled and chatted with a few old men, not to mention, the old men still have real kung fu, they are not slow to make dumplings, and they look good, Chu Suifeng is no match for them.

Seeing that the old men had already made a move, Xu Youran and Lin Keren had no choice but to bite the bullet and help, but after wasting two skins, they were driven away in disgust by the old men.

"Xiao Xu, I'm not talking about you. This girl always looks like a girl. How many of you young people can knead dough, make stuffing, and make dumplings by themselves like Xiao Chu? Those grandchildren who can make dumplings can wake me up from my dreams, not to mention kneading dough and making stuffing by myself. Young people nowadays are more energetic than anything in front of their mobile phones. If they do something, they can’t do anything well. .”

Mr. Lin's words expressed the thoughts of several old men, and they all sighed.

"Isn't that right, there is a nanny now, but the nanny has a lot of work, and she has to take care of the whole family, clean up, and do so many things. I can't say that if I want to trouble others to make dumplings. Since my wife After getting old, it is really not easy to want to eat a bite of homemade dumplings."

"Hey, my sons and daughters are all busy. At the beginning, my son and daughter didn't teach me how to make dumplings. Now I still want to count on my grandchildren? Anyway, I can't count on it. I can eat a bite of homemade dumplings today, and I am already satisfied."

"Hehe, the children and grandchildren can't be counted on. The old man made dumplings today, which can be regarded as quite an achievement, but ah, he just knows how to make dumplings. How to make the stuffing, I really can't make it. It was all women's work at the beginning. I I have helped my mother, I have helped my wife, but I have never done it myself, if my granddaughter can do it, and then I help the bag, it would be considered as closing my eyes and walking away with a smile."

The more the old men talked, the more emotional they became, their eyes were a little red, they used to work by themselves, and they didn't stay at home every day. When they wanted to experience family affection, their children had to work and didn't stay at home.

I used to be busy at work and couldn't take care of the children. Now that I am not busy, the children are busy. How can a group of old men have the nerve to let the children put down what they are doing and go home to accompany them?In addition to intergenerational relatives, there is still a gap. Granddaughters and grandchildren all have their own favorite things. Even if three generations live together, they can’t enjoy it together. The old people feel lonely but can’t say it. After his wife passed away, the streamside became a place for these old bachelors to hang out.

I made dumplings once today, which brought back all the memories of the past, but the people around me are all gone.

"Xu girl, Lin girl, you should also learn it, not to mention whether it is useful or not, but this is the taste of home. When you are old, you will know how important the taste of home is." , That is a lifetime treasure."

Seeing a few old men sighing and almost crying, Chu Suifeng also panicked, and said quickly: "Old men, look, I made dumplings today, and I'll take them back later, and let my family see them at that time." Take a look at your achievements and let them know that the old men all have unique skills, but they have no chance to show them off, so show them off today."

Chu Suifeng's words made the old men get rid of their memories. Hearing what Chu Suifeng said, he quickly waved his hands, "Don't, don't, don't, it's not easy for you to make a few dumplings. You dug the shepherd's purse yourself, right? ?It has to be sorted out, stuffed, and breaded dumplings. This process is very cumbersome. If we take a few as a family, you won’t be able to keep much here. "

"Yes, we are just joining in the fun, no need."

Chu Suifeng smiled and pointed to the dumplings on the table and said: "Gentlemen, take a look for yourself, there are at least three or four hundred dumplings the size of your fist, and there is still a pot of fillings left unwrapped, all wrapped, almost There are seven or eight hundred dumplings, and the two of them can eat ten of them for a meal. I am similar. How long will the three of us have to eat so many dumplings? I didn't expect that there would be so many at once. Wait If there is too much, one family will get 80 dumplings, and the rest will be left to the three of us, and the old men will help make dumplings, and if one share is worth 80 dumplings in return."

Hearing what Chu Suifeng said, the old men looked at each other, yes, it really happened for a while, there are so many dumplings, let alone when these three little girls will eat, even the refrigerator is not so big, now these There is no place to put the dumplings.

"Gentlemen, look, do you want to take some of the dumplings back first? There is really no room for this place. If this continues, the dumplings will only be placed on the ground after a while."

Others looked at it and realized that the stove, the dining table, and even the coffee table in the living room were all filled with dumplings. If this continues, there is indeed no place to put them.

So, the old men stopped what they were doing, took out their mobile phones and started calling for their nanny to come and get the dumplings. After talking, they started making dumplings again, talking and laughing.

"Oh, Lao Cao, you can't be so stingy, this dumpling is too small, it's all skinless."

"Fuck you, old man Chu, your dumpling is so good, it's almost bursting, and it will burst when you put it in the pot, and the filling is all in the water."

"Why are you arguing? Anyway, we all know the land we wrapped, and we will take what we wrapped and go home after a while. If it breaks, we will eat our own."

"That's right, but I advise you all to be careful. After taking it home, we won't be eating it ourselves. The juniors will be there too. If we mess up by then, this old face will be lost, so old man Chu, don't eat it. It's good to be greedy."

None of the old men were convinced, but the older the dumplings they made, the better. I don't know if they were afraid of losing face in front of the juniors when they went back, so they all became more cautious.

After the nannies from several companies arrived, they all opened their mouths wide in fright when they saw the old men with their hands full of flour, repeating obediently.

"Hey, old man, tell me if you want to eat dumplings. I'll make them at home. You need to do it yourself."

"That's right, old man, I'll make whatever filling you like right away, seeing how popular you are."

Before the other nannies could speak, the old men waved their hands domineeringly.

"What's it called? Crying!"

"That is to say, our old men are useless? Can't make a few dumplings?"

"You look down on us, take a look, we are also skilled, and we also made dumplings in the past."

"What's the big deal, isn't it just making a few dumplings? A few old men are playing around in a group. I don't care about it at home."

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, I'm here to ask you to get dumplings, stand aside, we each have 80, take your own, you come and recognize it."

Several old men pulled their nanny to recognize the dumplings they had made, and counted them while taking them, warning the nanny not to take too much.

Xu Youran and Lin Keren were pulled aside by Chu Suifeng to knead the dough. Now it is unrealistic to compete with the old men to make dumplings, so they can only learn to knead the dough first, lest the old men look at the two of them I have to count again when I am idle.

When 80 dumplings are enough, Chu Suifeng will not let the old men continue to make dumplings. The old men are getting old, and Chu Suifeng does not want to tire them, so he coaxes the old men to go with the nanny.

The main reason is that these dumplings have never been frozen, so it is very difficult to handle 80 dumplings. The old men are afraid that they will be broken, so they just follow the nanny to escort the dumplings back carefully, and show off at night.

After seeing off the old men, Chu Suifeng continued to pack the rest. By the way, he also taught Xu Youran and Lin Keren how to pack. Although the two of them had never done such a thing, after all, they both graduated from prestigious universities. The student, with good learning ability, quickly wrapped up decently, but his face was covered with flour, which looked a little funny.

At night, Xu Youran suffered from insomnia again. She suddenly realized that she had never been busy in the kitchen with her mother. She was used to her mother preparing three meals a day. Have a meal.

When Lin Keren's grandma was still there, mother and grandma used to work together in the kitchen for three meals a day. At that time, the smile on the mother's face was very strong and she was very happy.

But after grandma passed away, the expression on mother's face was not so happy. Although she was gentle, she smiled reservedly, and her eyes were much more lonely.

In the past, Xu Youran didn't understand, thinking that her mother was sad because of grandma's death, but considering that grandma was just a nanny after all, although she had deep feelings, she was not related by blood after all, so mother should be able to get out of grief soon.

Now Xu Youran understands that even if it is a nanny who is not related by blood, to her mother, grandma is still her relative, just like Lin Keren and herself, even if they are of different blood, they are still sisters.

After grandma died, mother must be very lonely. For mother, grandma is like her elders and friends. She is busy with her studies, and her father is busy with career. Only grandma is with her every day. So for mothers, grandma must be very important.

Xu Youran suddenly blamed herself. Every day, when her mother was preparing food alone in the kitchen, she must miss the days when grandma was there, but after she realized her mother's loneliness, she never thought about being with her in the kitchen to feed the family of three. Prepare food, that's sure to make mommy happy again.

Xu Youran's tears had soaked the pillow cover unknowingly. The old men were right, it was the taste of home. If it wasn't for Chu Suifeng, she would have lost the taste of home. In fact, she had already lost the original The taste, but she didn't notice it.

Xu Youran walked out of the door and came to her parents' bedroom, where the spiritual tablets of her parents were enshrined. Xu Youran rarely came to this room, because as long as she didn't come to this room, as long as she kept the door closed, it was as if her parents were still there. Nothing came out of the room.

Even though she knew it was a way of deceiving herself and others, Xu Youran still couldn't give up.

After entering the room, Xu Youran burst into tears, looking at the coffins of her parents and seeing their smiling photos, "Mom, I want to learn how to cook from you, I really want to."
