The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 217 Winter Solstice Dumplings

"You are a fool, what are you doing, the old man praises the child, if you dare to go up and talk about the son-in-law, let me see how I deal with you!" Zhao Da's face changed, and his eyes widened.

"You're a person, you drink a few sips of horse urine and then go crazy and talk nonsense. Am I that kind of person? I am grateful to the master and husband. You must be more cautious in the tofu shop in the future, so you don't make mistakes." Qian said whitely to him. With one glance, he slapped Zhao Da on the back.

"Of course I know, when you see your son and Erfu Lang tomorrow, talk to them, so that they can't get carried away." Zhao Da sat down and ate his appetizers contentedly.

The wedding was successfully completed, no outsiders were invited to attend, and the wedding banquet was held in the servants' cafeteria of the Lin family. Lin Xiazhi stayed at home to eat the wedding banquet before returning home with Cheng Wenliu.

Lin Xiazhi went back to Lin's house this time, and brought over the small ball molds he had ordered from a blacksmith.

To study new foods, Yang Yusheng must be called in. Lin Xiazhi gave Yang Yusheng a rough introduction to the recipe and ingredients of the small meatballs.

The more Yang Yusheng listened, the brighter his eyes became: "Brother Xia, how many good ideas do you have in your head, one after another without repetition."

"I can't tell you that, there will be no surprises." Lin Xiazhi blinked.

"Not only am I pleasantly surprised, but Fragrance Ten Miles will also be pleasantly surprised." Yang Yusheng patted his chest with the mold and promised, "Don't worry, Brother Xia, I will definitely make it within five days."

Yang Yusheng already has experience in cooking, and Lin Xiazhi has explained what Xiaowanzi said so clearly, if he can't do it, he will be ashamed to see him.

With Yang Yusheng's guarantee, Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu left the Lin family. This time they parted without crying.

Li Xiu gradually got used to his son getting married, and when he sent Lin Xiazhi off, he still stuffed them with a cart full of food, which made the carriage sink a bit.

Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu talked about some scattered things on the way back, some of them belonged to Cheng Zhai, some were about Cheng's business, and some were about Lin's.

Lin Xiazhi always felt that he forgot one thing when he went home this time. Before he left, he thought about it for a while, but he forgot it when he arrived at Lin's house. In addition, he drank some sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine at the wedding banquet, and now he can't think about anything. Woke up.

Some people are dizzy and don't think about it at all, and they will naturally think about it when they go back.

The day after Lin Xiaoqiu got married was the winter solstice, which was Lin Xiazhi's first winter solstice in Cheng Zhai.

Father Cheng and Cheng Fulang of the Cheng family were born in Liaotai County. Although they have settled down in Jiangning County, Lishui County, they are still used to celebrating the winter solstice according to the customs of Liaotai County. I eat dumplings at night.

It is said that because of the cold weather in Liaotai County, the poor people cannot wear warm cotton-padded clothes in the coldest winter.The passing fairy couldn't bear it, so he used magic to connect the ears of the person who had lost his ears, and then gave a plate of warm dumplings. After eating the dumplings, the person would warm up and the ears would not fall again.

There is also a legend that eating dumplings is because dumplings are like ears, which can protect ears after eating.

In short, the custom of eating dumplings in Liaotai County in winter has been handed down. Even the poorest families will try to make a meal of dumplings for their families on the winter solstice.

Because everyone in the family had to make dumplings by hand, Father Cheng and Cheng Wenliu didn't go out to deal with the business in the store, and stayed at home with their husband after breakfast.

This is a rare opportunity for them to cook by themselves in a year, and Cheng Fulang and the others are watching from the sidelines.

In addition to packing their own food, the servants of the Cheng family also prepared dumplings for the servants who were busy in the shops outside. The entire Cheng residence, from the servants' yard to the master's yard, smelled of flour everywhere.

The dumpling wrappers of the Cheng family all looked the same. The rolled dumpling wrapper was folded in half, fingers were flying on it, and the edge was neatly folded. It looked round and cute.

But Lin Xiazhi made another dumpling. His clumsiness showed again. He made three dumpling wrappers in succession. He was so angry that he simply and roughly put two dumpling wrappers together, and then kneaded them at the edges. Reveal again.

The Cheng family doesn't care whether Lin Xiazhi's dumplings look good or not. The whole family gets together to talk about homework and to enhance their relationship is the meaning of making dumplings.

There are three kinds of dumpling fillings, one is pork cabbage, the other is pork leek, and the other is egg cucumber.

The first two kinds of fillings are the fillings that the Cheng family used to make, and the egg cucumber was suggested by Lin Xiazhi. He had made this filling when he was at the Lin family, and the Lin family's comments were not bad.

After the eggs are half-cooked and let cool, add the diced courgettes, wrap them in the dough and cook them for a special aroma.

At that time, Yang Yusheng had severe morning sickness and couldn't eat meat. Lin Xiazhi thought of this way, and Yang Yusheng was able to eat it.

After the Cheng family heard what Lin Xiazhi said, they asked the kitchen to make such a stuffing according to Lin Xiazhi's instructions, and were going to try it.

At noon, three kinds of dumplings with different fillings came out of the pan. Cheng Fulang and Cheng Luanjing liked the egg and cucumber-flavored fillings. Father Cheng and Cheng Wenliu tasted them and said nothing.

Lin Xiazhi likes egg stuffed cucumber and pork and cabbage stuffed, but he doesn't like pork and leeks.

Seeing that Lin Xiazhi only ate a dumpling filled with pork and leeks, Cheng Luan whispered in his ear, "Brother, let me tell you quietly, my second brother's favorite dumpling is filled with pork and leeks. I dislike the taste of Jiaozi when he talks to me, so you should stay away from him in the afternoon."

Cheng Fulang looked up at them: "Don't whisper during the meal, I'm going back to Liaotai County soon, Brother Jing, please pay attention."

On weekdays, Cheng Fulang doesn't care much about what everyone says when they eat. There is no need to make the atmosphere cold at the dinner table because of those rules when eating as a family. In this way, it is necessary to reprimand the child. Instead of waiting for others to teach the child, it is better to correct the child's behavior earlier and avoid being scolded.

After hearing Cheng Fulang's words, Cheng Luanjing sat back to his seat honestly, so as not to be annoyed by his aunt, and was on a vegetarian diet for another three days.

Lin Xiazhi also quickly sat up straight, watched Cheng Fulang's movements, and let himself control his expression so as not to laugh.

Cheng Wenliu vaguely heard what the two of them said just now about leeks, stay away, and looked curiously at Lin Xiazhi who looked a little strange.

There are only dumplings on the dinner table, steamed, fried or boiled, served with different dipping dishes, they taste very fast, but within half a quarter of an hour, Cheng Adie, Cheng Fulang, Cheng Luanjing and Lin Xiazhi are already full, and only Cheng Wenliu is still eating. several.

After listening to Cheng Luanjing's words, Lin Xiazhi observed the types of dumplings made by Cheng Wenliu. Seventy percent of them were leek dumplings, twenty percent were pork and cabbage, and only the last half percent were eggs and courgettes.

After dinner in the afternoon, Cheng Wenliu took Lin Xiazhi for a walk in his garden, and he approached Lin Xiazhi to talk.

Immediately, a smell of leeks hit his face, Lin Xiazhi subconsciously took a step back, and it was exactly as what Jing Geer said.

"Brother Xia, what's the matter?" Cheng Wenliu didn't understand why.

"It's okay, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, I'm going to the latrine." Lin Xiazhi made an excuse to leave.

He was embarrassed to say that Cheng Wenliu had just eaten a lot of leeks, and his mouth was full of leeks, so he could only find a way to stay away from him and wait for the leeks to digest in his stomach for a while.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiazhi ran to Cheng Luanjing's yard to stay with Cheng Luanjing, avoiding being alone with Cheng Wenliu.

However, I still eat dumplings for dinner at night, and the smell of leeks at noon has not dissipated, so I come again at night.

After the meal, Lin Xiazhi told Cheng Wenliu about it so that he would not be smoked by the person next to his pillow at night and risked hurting his self-esteem.

"Brother Xia, that's what's going on. If you said it earlier, I'd eat less." Cheng Wenliu was extremely embarrassed. In the past, he basically didn't go out on the day of the winter solstice, and no one would smell his mouth.

Thinking of being rejected because of leeks, Cheng Wenliu looked at Lin Xiazhi aggrievedly: "Then I'll rinse my mouth with mint water later."

"Okay, you can go now." Lin Xiazhi pushed people to brush their teeth, and waited for Cheng Wenliu to leave before saying in a volume that only he could hear, "I don't know if brushing your teeth is useful."

Cheng Wenliu not only rinsed his mouth with mint water, but also chewed a few mint leaves. He felt that his whole body smelled of mint before going to Lin Xiazhi.

Gargling and eating mint leaves is just a temporary solution but not the root cause. When I am about to go to bed, the leek smell comes out again, and the mint smell becomes even more strange.

When sleeping, Lin Xiazhi deliberately stayed away from Cheng Wenliu, lest he would be habitually hugged by someone after he fell asleep.

However, Lin Xiazhi was still held in Cheng Wenliu's arms in the end, because Cheng Wenliu waited for Lin Xiazhi to fall asleep and quietly lifted the quilt and slipped past.

Waking up the next day, Lin Xiazhi found that he was still in Cheng Wenliu's arms, pinched Cheng Wenliu who was pretending to be asleep, and took his hand away.

Lin Xiazhi quickly got up from the bed: "In the future, you are not allowed to eat so many leeks at once, the taste is too strong."

"I can't help it. Dad and I both love to eat. I will try to eat as little as possible when eating dumplings in the future." Cheng Wenliu seldom rested at home, so he didn't want to go to the shop so early today.

"Why can Ah Mo stand the smell of leeks? I don't think he ate dumplings stuffed with leeks very much yesterday." Lin Xiazhi asked while getting dressed.

"I've gotten used to it for so many years." Cheng Wenliu looked at Lin Xiazhi with a smile, "I remember when I was a child, I seemed to see my father being scolded by my mother for eating leek dumplings. Pinch your ears."

"Hehe." Lin Xiazhi sneered, because in his opinion, pinching the ears was too feminine, and of course he would not do it. If he was really upset, he would just beat him up.

In winter, you have to dress three layers inside and three layers outside. Lin Xiazhi couldn't help but stomp his feet. Why did the down jacket appear? Why don't he try to make a down jacket himself?
