Chapter 33 Making Dumplings

Chapter 33 33. Making Dumplings

My aunt was shocked by the result of her own analysis.

What agricultural planting?

She said it so elegantly, but it's still farming. What can farming bring? The economy is not good now. Isn't it better to have a stable job than anything else?

She hurriedly put the meat aside and hurried over to ask: "Big sister, are you serious?"

Ulan was washing vegetables: "Yes. Did you see the car at the door? Tantan earned it by selling wild vegetables."

What a Spring and Autumn style! This was obviously bought for selling wild vegetables.

Song Tan was blowing bubbles next to her, and she was stunned when the bubbles exploded.

Qiao Qiao saw that she was stunned, and quickly reached out to touch her head: "Don't cry, don't cry, Qiao Qiao will blow a big one for you."

Song Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister didn't cry, you blow one for grandpa first!"

Grandpa is old, his legs are not good, and he has been in a wheelchair for the past two years, and he is getting more and more listless. Now that his granddaughter and grandson are with him, he looks happy, with a big grin on his face.

Song Tan's grandmother, on the other hand, would go to the fields to work from time to time, and was more capable than the average young people.

At this moment, she was looking at a large basin of shepherd's purse, disliking the cold water from the tap, and drove Wu Lan aside:

"You, we have all this shepherd's purse in our fields, why do you bring so much?"

"Didn't you say that Tan Tan could make money by selling this? It would be great to keep it and sell it."

The well water pumped up from the tap was chilly, but grandma didn't seem to feel it at all, and was obviously used to it.

Wu Lan looked at her gray hair, but now she didn't feel bad about the money: "This year's wild vegetables are growing very well, and I've made a lot of money. It's not a big deal. I came here today to make dumplings for you."

"When you and my dad don't want to cook, just cook some dumplings. It's easy to chew and digest."

Although they share a yard, grandma and uncle live separately and eat separately. There is a good dish to share, but they are not together on a daily basis.

The eldest aunt also came up: "Big sister, what are you thinking? Look at our Tan Tan, how good she is! After working in Ningcheng, she can find a local man, how happy she is!"

"What good partner can she find if she stays in the village? Aren't you delaying her?"

She looked at Song Tan who was coaxing grandpa with Qiao Qiao, and lowered her voice: "Qiao Qiao is like this, you can't let him drag down the child for him."

As a slightly male-biased thinker, the eldest aunt can say this, which shows that she really loves the child.

Wulan was not angry either: "Sister-in-law, I didn't agree at first, but when Tantan came back, she was haggard and weak, saying that she was exhausted from working - I gave in and took care of her for a year or two."

"As for farming, the child insisted on doing it, and I thought there was plenty of room at home, so I let her do it."

But about the partner...

"She is very motivated in farming, and the little money she had has been spent a long time ago. Let her do it first, and when she gives up, we can talk about going back to work."

Working outside is really tiring, and my aunt's son and daughter are also working outside. Hearing this, he sighed and put down the shepherd's purse in his hand:

"Making dumplings, right? I'll go chop the meat - oh, you took too much, these dumplings can fill a refrigerator."

Song Sancheng was a little greedy - Chef Wulan was only focused on making money, and she only wanted to sell these wild vegetables. If it weren't for Tantan's strong request, he wouldn't even think about making them at home.

Just like this, the shepherd's purse dumplings at home were eaten up long ago, and they have not been made yet.

So he said proudly: "His aunt, don't worry! We said that this wild vegetable is 20 yuan per catty, and that's not bragging. You will know when you eat it, it is not very durable."

For example, their family of four needs more than 100 dumplings for one meal!

Today I brought 10 catties of shepherd's purse, and some other things, which can't last long.

The aunt didn't believe it at all: "We eat this shepherd's purse every year, what can we do with it?"

Turning her head to look at the two big baskets of meat, she quickly shouted again: "Qiao Qiao, go to the front and ask your uncle to come back to chop the meat!"

...

Uncle Wu Chengtao rushed back soon:

"Oh, it's a good call! I've lost two hundred and they won't let me leave the table, I'm so anxious!"

The aunt scolded him: "You want to run away as soon as you lose the card. If they didn't have enough people, who would call you?"

The uncle was also wronged: "I said they wouldn't play for one dollar, otherwise I would definitely not run away."

The key is who is playing Landlord for one dollar!

The aunt rolled her eyes and stuffed the kitchen knife into his hand: "Hurry up, chop it up and make dumplings in the evening."

The uncle turned around and washed his hands and asked: "Whose car is this outside? Sancheng, have you passed the driving test?" He also looked eager to move.

Song Sancheng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm taking the exam. Isn't it that Tantan earned money from selling vegetables at home, and then bought a car, saying that it is convenient to go out."

Good guy!

Song Tan thought, why does everyone flatter her? No wonder she is also good at talking - it's all genetic.

The uncle looked at the car with envy: "Pickup trucks are still good, they can carry a lot, and they are very practical. When Wu Lei wanted to buy a car, I said to buy a big one, but he refused to listen and was thinking about buying a small car, so that the whole family could squeeze in."

The uncle's son Wu Lei used to work in the city, and recently he had a girlfriend, so he ran to Ningcheng with her. The family planned to raise some money and buy a car for the child first, so that he would have face when he went back to the girl's family.

Looking at the meat on the chopping board again, he was dumbfounded: "How many dumplings do I need to make?"

Wu Lan laughed:

"I came back this time to pack a truck with straw from home, so I have to buy some more meat as a token of my appreciation."

The uncle glared at her:

"Straw is cheap, you can take whatever you want, but you'll have to wait till the end of the year to make so much."

Song Sancheng still had that mysterious smile:

"If you can make these dumplings until the end of the month, I'll be convinced! Hurry up, the vegetables have been washed, it's time to knead the dough."

He was waiting to eat.

So the family got busy.

When the dough was ready, even the grandpa in the wheelchair began to slowly make dumplings.

Grandma looked at the shepherd's purse, smelled it, and nodded secretly: "No wonder you said this dish costs 20 yuan, the taste is different from before, fresh and fragrant."

When she said this, my aunt seemed to think it smelled a bit too good, so she said generously: "Mom, you and my dad like to eat soft and mushy dumplings. These dumplings will be frozen in your refrigerator later. If you want to eat them, you can cook them yourself. They are nutritious and easy to digest."

"We don't need it. We can dig them ourselves if we want to eat them."

Then she said to Wulan: "If you want to pull straw, just pull it directly. That thing is useless except for starting a fire. We don't plan to grow rice this year. It's a waste of time and effort. It's better to buy it ourselves."

Wulan was not polite: "Okay, I'll let Qiaoqiao and the others load the car later. But sister-in-law, you and our mother can share half of these dumplings. They are really different from other wild vegetables."

She tasted other wild vegetables in the village, and none of them had this taste.

I have written several chapters, and not a day has passed in the text... I am so slow!

Three updates today!

Also, I thought no one would guess the answer to the previous chapter, but the answer came out in less than a day, or even just a few hours.

Lu Xiaowen, I will remember you.

Applause for her!!!
