128 notes on learning to cook
"Madam, today I'll teach you how to make taro filled dumplings..." sister-in-law Wu said coldly. Shen Qingru nodded excitedly: "dumplings, I can make them."
Wu's sister-in-law doesn't bother to pay attention to her. Since she can do it, she'll do it and get out of here. She silently adjusted the dumpling filling, silently put the prepared dumpling skin in front of Shen Qingru, and turned her back to do her own business.
After a while, sister-in-law Wu only heard a timid voice behind her: "sister-in-law, how can I make dumplings without paste?"
Wu's sister-in-law was tasting the salty stew in the pot. When she heard the speech, her hand trembled, and the braised meat fell on the kitchen floor. The yellow dog who followed around in the kitchen got a coincidence and rushed out of the kitchen with the braised meat in his mouth.
Shen Qingru looked at her sister-in-law Wu innocently. She didn't call the dog. Why is sister-in-law Wu so angry?
Wu's sister-in-law determined that Shen Qingru was deliberately making trouble and endured her anger: "madam, don't entertain me. How can you use paste to make dumplings?"
She twisted a thin dumpling skin with her two fingers, quickly dipped some stuffing in the skin with chopsticks, closed her fingers, and a white and fat dumpling appeared in front of Shen Qingru.
Wu's sister-in-law demonstrated and asked impatiently, "madam, do you understand?"
Shen Qingru nodded clearly. It didn't seem difficult.
"Now that you understand, madam, take your time." sister-in-law Wu really didn't want to be in the same room with Shen Qingru. She simply went out of the hospital with pig feed and pulled out some fresh vegetables.
Looking out of the house, the Wu family's courtyard is quite lively. A few fat pigs are kept in captivity in one corner of the yard. The meat for the holidays comes from them. The yard is full of all kinds of vegetables, green chicken feather vegetables, small spinach, bright red tomatoes, purple eggplant, yellow lantern pepper... Several chickens walk back and forth in the field yard, looking for insects in the field from time to time.
The children of the Wu family chased the chicken excitedly. Occasionally, while sister-in-law Wu was not paying attention, they secretly grabbed a young cucumber from the cucumber shelf and hid it in their hands. Wu's sister-in-law didn't notice the child's behavior, but she was glimpsed by another sharp eyed child. The two children started a desperate struggle around the green cucumber. Finally, they were both hurt and cried to their mother.
Sister-in-law Wu painfully picked up the broken cucumber and slapped the two naughty ghosts on the head. The two children cried even more. As sister-in-law Wu shouted angrily, the cry gradually decreased, and the last two children just stood pitifully looking at their mother.
Wu's sister-in-law flushed the broken cucumber with water and gave it to the two naughty children. The two children took it and ate it happily. Wu's sister-in-law stood aside with a smile, but she was reluctant to eat a mouthful.
Vegetables in the frontier fortress are expensive and expensive. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them. Although Wu Heizi was a senior general in the frontier army, it was difficult to get Jingui's vegetables.
She and Wu Heizi can not eat vegetables, but their two sons can't do it when they grow up, so she got such a farm garden at home.
After eating the cucumbers, the two children continued to play with bamboo poles as swords. Sister-in-law Wu focused on her work and ignored the two smelly boys. The two Wu boys rushed into Shen Qingru's room.
Shen Qingru raised her eyes and smiled at the two naughty monkeys. Her hands were covered with flour, so she motioned with her chin to let them take sugar from their pockets.
It was originally prepared for the children who met acquaintances on the road. The boss of the Wu family took two pieces of caramel out of Shen Qingru's clothes pocket and gave it to his brother. He asked her foolishly with his fingers: "are you the fairy sister?"
The fairy sister was wearing gauze like clothes, like smoke and fog, emitting beautiful light in the sun. The whole person was like a fairy from the horizon, which was very different from the coarse cotton clothes worn by her mother and aunts.
Shen Qingru shook his head, pointed to himself and told them, "you can call me Qingru sister."
The older boy watched Shen Qingru for a long time, dragged his brother out and hugged sister-in-law Wu's feet: "Mom, there is a fairy sister in the house."
Sister-in-law Wu remembered Shen Qingru in the house. She scolded her son and walked towards the house: "what fairy sister, that's the general's wife. Don't yell."
The little boy was unconvinced and muttered, "is that the fairy sister..."
Wu's sister-in-law held her eldest son in one hand and her youngest son in the other: "have you wrapped it up, madam?"
Shen Qingru smiled with embarrassment. Sister-in-law Wu craned her neck and looked behind her——
There are dozens of dumplings of different sizes and shapes on the table. It doesn't matter if they look strange. The worst thing is that some dumplings have opened their mouths.
"It will become a piece of soup when it goes down to the pot..." sister-in-law Wu gritted her teeth and held back. If the girl in front of her wasn't the general's wife, she would have
That day, the red lacquer wooden lunch box sent by the general's wife was put on the general's table on time. Huo Qijun resisted the convulsion of gastric conditioned reflex and calmly opened the food box. The food box was full of full and fragrant dumplings.
He accepted his fate and put one in his mouth in front of everyone. He was pleasantly surprised to find that it tasted very good. In just one day, Qingru's technology had improved by leaps and bounds?
Wu Heizi also received a lunch box unexpectedly. It's strange that her mother-in-law has always allowed herself to eat a big pot of rice in the military camp. How can she become so virtuous today?
Wu sunspot touched his head and bared his teeth against the envy or smiling eyes of his colleagues: "it's my old husband and wife. My mother-in-law has been infected by the general's wife and has been virtuous once."
Then someone said bitterly, "I'm afraid my sister-in-law's wife is urging the sunspot to go back early in the evening to pay the public food."
Everyone laughed, but Wu sunspot was not angry. The smiling public opened the lunch box.
What appeared in the public's sight was a box of broken skin, strange shapes and sizes of dumplings. Wu Heizi was silly.
When did your mother-in-law's craft degenerate to this point?
Where is a bowl of dumplings? It's clearly a bowl of meat paste noodle soup!
They laughed loudly and left the barracks together for a big pot of rice, leaving Wu Heizi alone in a daze at a bowl of noodle soup. Half a ring, he picked up a dumpling that looked relatively complete and put it in his mouth. He was surprised to find that although the dumpling looked bad, the filling taste was still very good.
Could it be that the mother-in-law found out that she was hiding private money and specially sent a box of rotten dumplings as a warning? Wu Heizi thought secretly. He was melancholy about whether to take the initiative to explain the private money to his mother-in-law when he went back at night.
Shen Qingru chatted up with Wu's sister-in-law for a long time. Wu's sister-in-law obviously took her as a big burden. She was too lazy to talk to her and expected her to wake up and leave quickly. Unexpectedly, Shen Qingru had the cheek to follow behind her, watching her feed chickens and pigs, and rudely ate two sweet and delicious radishes she had just pulled out of the ground.
Wu's sister-in-law danced happily for two times with green veins on her forehead, and finally forced herself to endure it.
In the afternoon, Shen Qingru was very comfortable. The two children of the Wu family really regarded her as a fairy in the sky and politely brought her water and fan. The Wu family's sister-in-law in the kitchen was busy. She wanted to teach Shen Qingru to make a simple fried brocade cake. Unexpectedly, the girl was scalded by the hot oil in the pot as soon as she came up. While busy looking for scalding medicine for her, the Wu family's sister-in-law had to go to battle in person and cook dinner for her to Huo Qijun in the military camp in the evening.
Shen Qingru, with scalding medicine on his hand, commanded the second daughter of the Wu family to wash and eat cucumbers for herself. Cucumbers the size of fingers taste crispy, which is no less than the inch golden melon specially cultivated by noble families in the capital.
Inch golden melon is cultivated by farmers in the greenhouse in winter. When it is still tender, it will be pinched from the branches and leaves to take it tender, crisp and refreshing, with unique flavor. This is especially for the nobles in the capital. It's not much thicker than your little finger. One will cost one or two silver.
The cucumbers in the frontier fortress are not big because the land is poor and the wind and sand are rampant. Compared with the two, Shen Qingru feels that the nobles in the capital are too violent.
Wu's sister-in-law was very lenient to her because of her injury, and she didn't bother to worry about eating her cucumbers. Shen Qingru gave all the sugar in her pocket to big wa Erwa, who smiled and bent her eyes while sucking the caramel in her mouth. Shen Qingru nibbled at the little yellow melon and looked at them with a smile.
After cooking, frying, frying and roasting, sister-in-law Wu successfully handed a food box to Shen Qingru's hand, and made a congratulatory gesture to her with a wooden face.
Shen Qingru thanked the Wu family's sister-in-law with a smile, waved to the reluctant eldest and second children, and left the Wu family happily.
Before she walked ten steps away, the sister-in-law Wu behind her closed the door quickly.
The second child of the Wu family blinked her big eyes and said to her mother, "mother, will the fairy sister come tomorrow?"
The eldest daughter of the Wu family, Kaka, nibbled at the candy in her mouth: "Mom, let the fairy sister come to our house every day, okay?"
What responded to them was their mother's ferocious face and raised slaps. Sister-in-law Wu's sharp voice rang through the sky: "little rabbit, do you want her to come every day? Do you think she doesn't eat enough of my vegetable melons? A few sweets will buy you two little rabbits..."
Bursts of crying echoed above the Wu house
Shen Qingru carrying a food box, excitedly went to Huo Qijun's barracks. On the way, a red jujube horse galloped past her and nearly knocked over the food box in her hand.
She stood in place, silently looking at the far away red shadow... In the staggered moment, she saw the bright girl sitting right away, with picturesque eyes and eyebrows.
