Opening up the entertainment industry

After receiving the large and small packages of dishes from the courier boy and paying the balance, Xia Zheng happily put the big meal on the table, looking at more than a dozen hard dishes with good color and fragrance, his mouth is watering down.

But looking at it, Xia Zheng suddenly felt that something was wrong. There was more fish every year, all kinds of meat dishes he liked to eat, and cold dishes specially designed to relieve tiredness. They were light and refreshing, but they looked very compelling There are also two vegetarian dishes. Yesterday I went to the supermarket to move several boxes of beer. I also bought a lot of drinks. I even prepared a bottle of Erguotou, which he hardly touches... So what is missing from this New Year's Eve dinner?

"It's Chinese New Year, why don't you have dumplings?" Hearing the sound of the door closing, Oreo sneaked out of the bedroom. As a professional art bird, he is much more conscious than Xiang Zhan. Whenever he finds someone knocking on the door, he will immediately Find a vantage point to hide yourself.But most of the time it is more keen to hide under the sofa, but unfortunately someone is too big to get in, so he can only hide in the bedroom aggrieved, like a pissed off daughter-in-law, along the crack of the door that is not as wide as a palm Glance into the living room.

Xia Zheng slapped his forehead fiercely when he woke up the dreamer with one word. That's right, he ordered so many Chinese New Year dishes, but he just forgot to order the most important dumplings!As a northerner, Xia Zheng thought that he could skip other New Year's Eve dinners, but dumplings were a must, but he missed out on such an important and representative New Year's food.

The few remaining restaurants downstairs have entered the peak period of business and food delivery. The boy who delivered the food must have no time to send him two plates of dumplings, but if he wants to go to the restaurant to buy them himself, he is afraid of being caught. People recognize him, even if he is not famous, there will always be a few of the hundreds of guests who look familiar to him, not to mention that he is now a well-known artist, he doesn't want to be surrounded by crowds during the Chinese New Year.

Because he is really not good at cooking, Xia Zheng will occasionally buy some quick-frozen food and stuff it in the refrigerator. When he is tired of eating instant noodles and doesn't want to order takeaway, he can improve the food.With a little bit of hope, he turned the refrigerator from inside to outside, but he didn't even find the shadow of the dumplings. Instead, a pack of quick-frozen steamed buns popped up automatically and consciously. It's a pity that Xia Zheng couldn't even think of eating them. No.

"At this time, the supermarket will be closed." Looking at the time, it was already 04:30 in the afternoon, and Xia Zheng's face was almost wrinkled into a compatriot of Xiaolongbao.When he went to the supermarket to clean up yesterday, he took a special look at the opening hours for the New Year. If he remembered correctly, the supermarket closed at five o'clock on the New Year's Eve. He changed into thicker clothes and rushed there, just in time for the closing ceremony.

"Why do you go to the supermarket to make dumplings? Isn't there a small shop outside the complex? Just buy bagged noodles." Xiang Zhan came out of the bedroom at some point, and immediately advised Xia Zheng after hearing Xia Zheng's distress: "I bought a lot Vegetables, as well as meat, you can pack whatever fillings you want, which is much more refreshing than eating quick-frozen dumplings."

"Make it yourself?" Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows noncommittally. Dumplings seem to be a simple food, but in fact they are quite troublesome to make. Unchanged, Xia's mother kicked her out of the kitchen and said cruelly: If you dare to come in again, we will sever the relationship between mother and child.

But thinking back to Brother Yi's cooking skills last time, it seems that there shouldn't be any problems in making dumplings, right?Thinking of this, Xia Zheng nodded, and wrapped himself into a ball in the shortest time possible. Winter is just that good. Covering your face several times will not attract the attention of others, so for well-known artists, winter is definitely the cutest In this season, if you don't need to shoot summer scenes, you don't need to enter the water.

"I think, I can go directly to the restaurant downstairs to buy some ready-made dumplings." Looking at the fully armed first brother and then at himself, Xia Zheng deeply felt that the worries just now were unnecessary, and he was dressed like this, his mother You may not even recognize it, buy a plate of dumplings, there is no pressure at all!

"Why are you like this!" Xiang Zhan immediately covered his little heart, looking hurt: "It's agreed to make dumplings yourself, why are you still thinking about buying ready-made dumplings, can you make people have a good time?" year!"

Xia Zheng: ...

Brother Yi, you are wayward!

But since Xiang Zhan insisted on making dumplings by himself, and since he had nothing else to do except watch the party, Xia Zheng agreed to go buy noodles with Brother Yi.The restaurant's dumplings tasted good, but the fillings were relatively small, which made Xia Zheng, who loves to eat dumplings with large fillings, very resentful. If he really made the dumplings himself, it would prevent this shortcoming from being brought into the new year.

Although it is New Year's Eve, the shops near the community have not closed for a long time. These shop owners live near the community, or live on the second floor of their own stores. It is very convenient to open and close, so before it is time to eat , Many stores are open, which can not only make more money, but also bring some convenience to people who forget to buy things.

Xiang Zhan and Xia Zheng sneaked into a small shop like thieves, and successfully robbed a bag of white flour. Worried that Xia Zheng's family had run out of seasoning, Xiang Zhan raided a bagful of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, and leek flowers to see what was there. Almost all of them were there, and the two went home happily, ready to let go and do a big job.

As soon as Xia Zheng stepped into the gate of his house, his stomach began to growl uncontrollably. The two of them only had some breakfast when Xiang Zhan first arrived. The New Year’s Eve dinner was still faintly steaming, and the three mouths rushed to the dining table decisively——making dumplings is hard work, how can I do it if I’m not full!

After eating and drinking enough, Oreo, who couldn't help him, squatted on the sofa and watched TV spontaneously, while Xia Zheng and Xiang Zhan were busy clearing the dining table as a base for making dumplings.Flipping through the ingredients that Xiang Zhan brought, Xia Zheng sighed again, the first brother is the first brother, the bad habit of extravagance and waste will never be changed, they will be on vacation for a week, as for buying a month's rations!

Picking and picking, Xia Zheng proposed to eat beef and celery and three fresh dumplings with prawns. After receiving the order, Xiang Zhan immediately started, brandishing a kitchen knife, and gave the required ingredients to pieces in minutes.Looking at Xiang Zhan's sharp and professional posture, Xia Zheng's heart was completely put back in his stomach. Even though he hadn't written his horoscope yet, he seemed to have smelled the aroma of dumplings.

After the two fillings were mixed, brother one squatted next to the noodle pocket with a basin in his hand, looked at the noodle, looked at Xia Zheng, looked at Xia Zheng, looked at the noodle again, and didn't move for a long time.Sensing the other person's gaze, Xia Zheng turned around and saw someone picking up the flour bag and pouring half a bag of flour into the basin.

"..." Xia Zheng's face was full of black lines. Although the bag of noodles only weighs five kilograms, isn't half a bag of flour a bit much for two people and one bird?They just ate a meal, no matter how big their appetite is, they can't eat so many dumplings!

Looking at the food collection, Oreo subconsciously shrinks back into the corner of the sofa, so it won't tell that Brother Yi can do everything but can't make noodles!Anyway, it's already full, and it doesn't matter whether it can eat dumplings or not tonight.

"Should we use hot water or cold water for kneading noodles?" After scratching the back of his head for a long time, he couldn't come to a conclusion, so Xiang Zhan could only turn his attention to Xia Zheng for help.His cooking skills are mainly cultivated in these years of living alone. The purpose of making delicious dishes is to enrich his own table, and he really hasn't studied the quick-frozen food that tastes good like dumplings.

As for the past New Years, he always went home to spend the New Year with his family. There are many female members in the family, and there are servants. It is not his turn to be the young master, so he has not learned the skills of making dumplings and noodles at all.

"You don't know how to knead the noodles, so you still have to make your own dumplings?" Xia Zheng's eyebrows twisted into twists. Even a kitchen idiot knows that the quality of the noodles will directly affect the taste of the dumplings. Well, now it's not about worrying about the taste. When it was time, what he had to worry about was whether he could still eat dumplings tonight, right?

After thinking about the basin for a long time, the two tacitly took out their mobile phones and began to search for tutorials on making dumplings.After looking at it for a long time, I felt dizzy, Xia Zheng simply waved his hands, and threw the mess to the first brother to deal with. He plunged into the corners and piled up a mountain of recipes. If I remember correctly, there seems to be one that introduces pastries. , at least let him see a whole dumpling tonight!

Making noodles is different from cooking. The method is always to add as much water as you want. It looks very simple, but the effect is a bit far away when you actually operate it. Xiang Zhan struggled for an hour before he could barely make a dough.However, the dough is a bit hard, and Xia Zheng suspects that it can be used as a brick on the street when it is shaped into a square.

After making dough, Xiang Zhan began to think about how to roll the skin again. He had mastered the specific method, but he couldn't apply it in practice, because the dough was too hard, and he had to use all his strength to roll it a few times. The result of constant exertion is that after rolling a dozen skins, my back hurts, and I can supplement calcium when I have leg cramps.

"I suspect we bought a bottle of glue less." Xia Zheng made some stuffing and put it in the skin, but no matter how hard he squeezed it, the dumplings couldn't be sealed.Even if you pinch it hard, it will crack by itself in a short while, and you can foresee the tragedy of sliced ​​soup boiled meatballs without cooking.And the dumpling skin is so thick, how long does it take to cook it!

"You're so humorous!" Xiang Zhan raised his head suddenly, and winked at Xia Zheng alluringly. Suddenly, Xia Zheng got goosebumps all over his body, wishing he could lift up the dining table and put his face on that big face.

Feeling that there are too many doughs, Xiang Zhan decided to give up the correct way of rolling out the dough, and directly roll out the dough with both hands. At worst, the skin should be thicker, and it should not be broken when it is cooked for a while... right?

Xia Zheng was patient at first to help out, but a certain person seemed to be having a convulsion tonight, giving him a thrilling experience from time to time, winking at him and temporarily making him immune, but deliberately unbuttoning the three buttons of his shirt or something, really no problem?Your shirt has only four buttons in total, right?The key is that the last button is purely for decoration, it is on the bottom of the shirt, it doesn't matter whether it is fastened or not.

"Oh, it's so hot." Xiang Zhan pinched his white claws and pulled at his shirt, so half of his shoulders were exposed.

Xia Zheng: ...

He doesn't seem to want to eat dumplings so much, and he doesn't want to watch the new year, so he should go to bed.

……

After tossing until ten o'clock in the evening, a plate of dumplings with exposed fillings and openings was finally out of the pan. After staring at this legendary plate of food for a long time, Xia Zheng's hungry stomach sent out a signal of resistance - if this thing is eaten Go on, it doesn't make sense if you don't go to the hospital tomorrow!

"At least try one!" He put a dumpling in front of Xia Zheng's eyes, and Xiang Zhan looked at him eagerly. He tasted one when it came out of the pot. The skin was a bit hard, but the filling tasted good, so the dumpling as a whole was still good. pass.

Unable to bear the disappointment of the guy who was so busy with flour all over his face, Xia Zheng frowned and closed his eyes and took a bite of the dumpling. The next second, Xia Zheng covered his mouth and tears were about to flow down——When did the first brother stuff coins into the dumpling? , Why didn't he see it!

"Why did you bite it so big!" Xiang Zhan was also dumbfounded. The dumpling he made for Xia Zheng was a little bigger than ordinary steamed dumplings, just because he was afraid that Xia Zheng would swallow it in one gulp.The other party didn't swallow it whole, but hearing the sound of teeth colliding with coins, he really wondered if Xia Zheng's front teeth were all cracked.

Flying to the tea table with a big dumpling silently in its mouth, Oreo wittily stayed away from the center of the war. It was Chinese New Year, and it didn't want to be splashed with blood.
