The peace of the Three Realms depends on me [Food]

13. Dumplings with Dried Plum, Vegetable and Meat

He Lang was sitting on the side of the wooden table farthest from Xiaobai, his eyes were loose and his voice was erratic: "It can talk...you picked up a cat demon and came back..."

Ji Ping'an kept moving his hands, and the chopping board in front of him was almost filled with dumplings.He laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you? I said the kitten has aura and can talk."

He Lang said quietly: "I thought you were lying to me!"

Ji Pingan didn't take He Lang's complaint to heart at all, he looked at the remaining dough on the chopping board: "Oh, there's a bit too much stuffing..."

But it's okay, he can knead some more noodles to make meatloaf with dried plums and vegetables later.

He Lang talked a lot when he was stimulated. He kept repeating his words over and over again: "Who would have thought that it could really talk? It's too scary!"

Listening to He Lang's nagging, Ji Pingan made the last dumpling and put it on the chopping board: "Okay, stop nagging, do you still want to eat dumplings?"

He Lang came back to his senses now: "Eat!"

Ji Pingan commanded him skillfully: "Then why don't you light the fire?"

He Lang made a detour and went to the back of the stove, as if Xiao Bai was a poisonous snake and beast.After he sat down firmly, he lit the fire, and Ji Pingan added half a pot of water to the pot.

There are more than 100 dumplings wrapped in two catties of leather. I will eat one meal tonight, and I can make fried dumplings tomorrow morning.

Perfect!It's a pity that the temperature is still a little high recently. When it gets cooler, he can make more dumplings and wontons and freeze them. When he wants to eat them, he can just cook them in the pot.

Ji Pingan wiped his hands and walked outside the kitchen door, He Lang said with a trembling voice: "Ping An, where are you going?"

Ji Pingan turned his head in bewilderment: "Go to the vegetable field and pull out two green onions."

Ji Pingan thinks that the dumplings are delicious without any seasoning, but He Lang likes to add chopped green onion, chili oil and vinegar to them. He can eat two big bowls with soup and water.

He Lang immediately stood up from behind the stove: "I'll go! I'll just go!"

Facing Xiaobai's blue eyes, the hairs on He Lang's back stood on end.If it wasn't for his little boy in front of him, He Lang would have run faster than a rabbit.

It's no wonder that He Lang has such an attitude towards Xiaobai. People in Qingshuiwan have a natural fear of demon cultivators or spirit beasts that can transform into shapes.As ordinary people who can't control aura, demon cultivators and spirit beasts are no different from ghosts and gods in their eyes.

You can go as far as you meet the demon cultivators. What if the demon cultivators are unhappy and take their lives?If you encounter spirit beasts, you can avoid them as long as you can. There are enough monster legends circulating among the villagers of Qingshuiwan.

He Lang is considered to be the most courageous of the villagers in Qingshuiwan, but letting him share the same room with the demon cat still makes him fight.

He Lang was worried about his hair, what if Ping An was eaten by this demon cat one day?No, he had to find a way to persuade Ping An to get rid of this demon cat as soon as possible.

Xiaobai stared at He Lang's back thoughtfully, he always felt that this human being was holding back bad water.

After the boil in the pot, the white water mist in the kitchen hovered over the ceiling.Holding the chopping board, Ji Pingan pushed half of the dumplings into the pot, and the porcelain dumplings made a popping sound when they fell into the boiling water.

Ji Pingan used the back of the strainer to gently push the sunken dumplings, the flour mixed with the dumplings in the originally clear water became cloudy.The swaying dumpling soup made a sizzling sound after touching the hot pot, and a smell of wet flour and meat mixed in the kitchen.

Xiaobai lay quietly beside the bean lamp, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was so reassuring, even more reassuring than him winning Leng Changtian.

After the dumplings are boiled, pour half a bowl of cold water to let the temperature in the pot drop slightly, so that the dumplings will be cooked after three rolls and three boils.

When the dumplings were rolled for the second time, He Lang came in with a small handful of washed shallots. Ji Pingan took the shallots and wondered, "Why did it take so long?"

He Lang said vaguely: "It's dark, I can't see clearly."

There are two large bowls on the side of the stove, one of which is sprinkled with chopped green onion, chili oil and balsamic vinegar, and covered with a piece of snow-white lard.Ji Ping scooped half a bowl of dumpling soup in a bowl with lard, the seasoning was washed away quickly, and the white lard in the middle of the chili oil melted little by little, turning into a moist ball of oil.

As the dumplings boiled for the third time, the aroma in the kitchen became even more enticing.The chubby dumplings floated in the slightly whitish dumpling soup and collided lightly. The dumplings made by Ji Pingan had thin skins and big fillings, and the lumpy fillings could be seen through the thin skins .

The pinkish-white meat has been turned white by heat, and it is mixed with green green onions and brown dried plums.The dumplings faded from the greenness before being put into the pot, and became bold and unrestrained.

He Lang didn't care to think about how to make him cut off the relationship with the demon cat, he rubbed his hands and stood beside the stove: "Okay?"

Ji Pingan felt that if he gave He Langsheng dumplings one step later, He Lang's saliva would fall into the pot.

Ji Ping'an's family's strainer is not small, but it can't support the size of the dumplings he made. When the strainer is lowered, there are only a dozen dumplings in it.Don't underestimate the dozens of dumplings, even a sea bowl can't fit them!

He Lang quickly hugged the big bowl that belonged to him, and he turned over the dumplings in the bowl with his chopsticks.The slightly transparent dumpling skin was immediately covered with a layer of red oil, and the scent of chopped green onion and balsamic vinegar mixed in it made He Lang's stomach growl.

Regardless of whether it was hot or all the dumplings hadn't been mixed well, He Lang picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth.The dumpling skin is tough, but He Lang's teeth are good.After one bite, the dumpling skin was broken, and the hot gravy inside burst out.

The gravy was not pure white and the prunes gave it a deep color.The dumpling wrapper is like a box. After opening the box, the rich aroma of meat and dried plums inside can no longer be hidden.

It's too hot!Fresh and hot, people can't stop!He Lang's tongue kept stirring the dumplings, and he inhaled hard to make a haha ​​sound.

Ji Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You eat slowly, I didn't fight with you."

He Lang took a few breaths and felt the temperature of the dumplings drop, he quickly swallowed the dumplings: "Ah! It's delicious!"

Ji Pingan unhurriedly put a dumpling in Xiaobai's plate, and he put the plate in front of Xiaobai: "Xiaobai taste it first, see if you like it."

Xiaobai stood up and looked at the dumpling, which was half the size of his head. It looked like a storage bag used by nuns in the demon world.It is obviously not big, but the material inside is extraordinarily sufficient.

Just by looking at it and smelling it, Xiao Bai felt that he liked this delicacy.Xiaobai nodded dignifiedly to Ji Pingan: "Thank you Ping An."

Ji Pingan smiled and touched his head: "Eat it, don't be so polite."

Ji Pingan also put a large bowl of dumplings on the table, fearing that the dumplings would be cooked in the pot for too long, he used a plate to put the remaining dumplings on the table.

Of course, he didn't forget his tiger son.Of course, Huzi can't eat all the dumplings like them, after all, his family's conditions are here.He added ten dumplings to Huzi's bowl, and mixed them with the pumpkin porridge cooked yesterday, so Huzi would be full.

After a busy day, Ji Pingan could finally sit down and enjoy his dinner.

Under the swaying little bean lamp, there are two people holding sea bowls, and there is a kitten burying its head in the small dish and eating bitterly.

Dumplings stuffed with dried plums and vegetables taste good, and Ji Pingan feels that compared to stuffing made with cabbage or green vegetables, dried plums have a stronger aroma and a much better umami taste.

After eating two in a row, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

He Lang's mouth was full of greasy food: "Ping'an, how can you be so delicious! The dumpling made by my sister-in-law is almost inedible."

Ji Pingan said softly: "If someone cooks for you, you can enjoy it secretly and pick and choose. After you get married next year, you may not be able to eat the food you cook yourself."

He Lang didn't raise his head: "At worst, I'll bring Cui Cui to your house for dinner."

As soon as the words fell, He Lang felt his back go cold, and the movement of eating dumplings also stopped.

Ji Pingan asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

He Lang shivered for a while: "I shuddered, maybe my sister-in-law was talking about me at home again. By the way, Ping An, what are you doing after buying so much meat today? Isn't it the winter solstice for us to marinate meat here? Now Lidong, you Don’t be afraid that the bacon will be marinated.”

Ji Pingan said: "I'll make some oily pork and put it in a jar. I'll go to the village to buy half a pig in Lidong."

He Lang gave a thumbs up in admiration: "As expected of you."

Ji Pingan never wronged himself in terms of food, even though Ji's family didn't have much money, and now the house collapsed, he didn't cut down on food and clothing because of it.

Ji Pingan said: "Grandpa told me that it is a blessing for people to be able to eat, but I am afraid that they will not be able to eat delicious food in front of them. Besides, eat better within your own ability and improve your health, so you don't need to see a doctor." What a great money."

He Lang gulped down half a bowl of soup, and he gave a thumbs up happily: "It makes sense!"

He Lang ate fast, a large bowl of dumplings entered his stomach in a short while, and then he began to specialize in the large plate of dumplings in front of him.Ji Pingan chewed slowly, half of the dumplings in his bowl were left.

Xiaobai ate the slowest. He Lang ate most of the dumplings on the plate before he finished one dumpling.

After eating the dumplings, Xiaobai lowered his head and stared at the plate in front of him.It's strange, when Ji Pingan gave him a bite of rice when he ate pumpkin porridge and sweet potato rice, why did he feel like he wasn't full today?

Ji Pingan soon discovered Xiaobai's abnormality, and he asked softly, "Xiaobai, what's wrong?"

Xiaobai said with some embarrassment: "I'm not full yet..."

Ji Pingan smiled, he took a dumpling from his bowl, picked out the meat filling and put it in front of Xiao Bai: "Eat it."

He found that Xiaobai was fast when eating meat fillings, but slow when eating dumpling wrappers, presumably because dumpling wrappers were not to his liking.How much can a kitten eat? Ji Ping saves a bite, and Xiaobai will be full.

Xiaobai glanced at Ji Ping'an gratefully: "Thank you, Ping'an."

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "You are growing up, a good appetite is a good thing."

He Lang laughed twice, and knocked on the table: "Hey, let me tell you, Ji's family is not rich, so you can't live here for free..."

Ji Pingan stared at He Lang reproachfully: "What are you talking about with the kitten?"

Saying this while eating is just embarrassing the kitten!It is rare for Ji Pingan to have an opinion on Fa Xiao's practice.

Xiao Bai took a bite of the minced meat cherishingly. For some reason, he felt that the minced meat tasted better than the first one he ate.He swallowed the meat and said seriously: "I won't live for free."

He will remember Ji Pingan's kindness to him.

The author has something to say:

Ping An made a dumpling stuffing for Xiao Bai: "Eat it!"

Xiaobai: He loves me so much!He saves his food for me!

Old cat: Do you know?We have an old saying here: one person saves one mouthful and raises a big fat dog.
