I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 291 Dumplings and Jiaozi

"The minority obeys the majority" is a principle that many people are familiar with and default to. When there are disagreements about collective actions, most decisions are made based on this principle. Suitable for a variety of groups, including families.

For example, when it comes to eating dumplings for dinner, Li Peifeng, who considers himself the "head of the family," votes against it, but the other three are in favor, so he can only agree.

The whole day passed in a hurry, and everyone was busy in their own rooms. They didn't sit down to eat lunch together. Instead, they each ate some snacks and fruits to cope with the problem, leaving more expectations and stomach space. Dumplings tonight.

Li Peifeng originally thought of going downstairs to meet and prepare at around four in the afternoon, but just after three o'clock, he received a WeChat message from his beloved mentor Zhao Qingge.

Three words, sonorous and powerful...

"Make dumplings!"

What a rush!

Li Peifeng looked at the time and saw that it was still early. He was typing in the mood and didn’t want to interrupt, so he pretended not to notice, left the keyboard blank, and continued writing.

Who would have expected that half a minute later, it would come again...

Zhao Qingge: "Make dumplings!!"

Will eating later make you starve to death?

His train of thought was completely interrupted. Li Peifeng tapped the keyboard, snorted coldly, and still decided to pretend to be dead. He wanted to see what would happen if he didn't reply to the message.

Most Internet article authors have no emotions when coding, or in other words, they put all their emotions into the characters and world in the book during that time.

This can be called "focus time."

Especially successful Internet article writers, the more successful they are, the more ruthless they are, and the more successful they are, the more focused they are. A child's car accident, his parents being sick, his wife's amniotic fluid breaking... can't disturb them at all, let alone affect the day's updates of this group of coding machines.

Li Peifeng has this trend, which shows that he is really not a human being... No, he is one step closer to becoming a real online literary master.

"Dingling bell~"

Half a minute after Zhao Qingge sent the second message, Li Peifeng's mobile phone rang with a WeChat ringtone. Yes, it was his beloved and beloved guide who called him.

You can't pretend to be dead. If you still can't hear anything, you should probably go upstairs and knock on the door.

Li Peifeng sighed and chose to answer the call: "Hello?"

“Didn’t you see my WeChat account?”

Lao Zhao's tone was very calm, and Li Peifeng was a little surprised: "Did you send me a WeChat message? Sorry, I didn't see it."

"Okay, then I'll say it again."

Zhao Qingge said one word at a time: "Make dumplings, go downstairs to make dumplings, do you hear me?"

I'll make you a dumpling too. The one with Zhao Qingge stuffing is a bit old, but it has a strong texture and a long aftertaste. After steaming and cooking for an hour and a half, it will definitely be fragrant and taste good. !

At this point, although he felt uncomfortable having his thoughts interrupted, Li Peifeng could only go downstairs and enter the living room to start organizing: "It's time to make dumplings. Everyone, please put down what you are doing and take your precious time to come out and help me with my work. "

"Doing it so soon?" Huang Tianxuan was the first to open the door, slightly surprised: "It's only three o'clock, and I just ate an apple."

In order to avoid telling the truth and causing trouble, Li Peifeng said rationally: "Making dumplings takes time, not to mention that you don't know how to make dumplings, so it will take longer. If you make them now, it will be quick if you can eat them at 5:30."

Zhao Qingge was the second to leave the house: "What should I do first?"

"You sit down first, Wenyue, come out."

Opening the door to the master bedroom, Wu Wenyue was sitting in front of the computer having a video conference. Fortunately, it was almost over. She hurriedly said a few words and got up and left the room, following Li Peifeng to the kitchen.

"how to do?"

Li Peifeng opened the refrigerator, looked at the ingredients at home, and said casually: "We can only make dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork. Add a little fat meat refining residue and put it into the stuffing. Wenyue, you are responsible for chopping the lean meat into minced meat." , cut the fat into small pieces and make it into oily residue, then cut the cabbage stuffing. First like this, then like this, and finally like that..."

After explaining the general method of making dumpling fillings, Wu Wenyue heard it very well, and then went to work with some vague understanding. Li Peifeng put the panels and flour on the dining table in sequence, ready to start kneading the dough.

Huang Tianxuan pointed at herself and Zhao Qingge: "What am I doing with her?"

Li Peifeng squinted: "Don't ask me what you are going to do, ask yourself what you can do first!"

Huang Tianxuan sneered slightly: "You have become impatient after half a month, and you still want to hug me? You are so talented and bold."

Li Peifeng looked at her, then at Zhao Qingge, his eyes paused for a moment, then he lowered his head and started to play with the noodles, slowly drawing the shape of a flag with the flour on the chopping board, and said in a deep voice: "I don't dare to think about it anymore, this is what I put up." White flag, let’s talk about the next topic!”

Huang Tianxuan raised her eyebrows and watched in silence as the white flag drawn with white flour was quickly covered with more flour.

"Huh~"

Zhao Qingge let out a breath and shifted his gaze from Li Peifeng to the restaurant. Wu Wenyue was rinsing the pork to defrost it with concentration. Her eyes gradually became complicated, and she pursed her lips tightly without saying anything.

…

The process of making dumplings is complicated and requires no one person, but there are only two main steps, which are kneading the dough and chopping the fillings.

Although Wu Wenyue didn't know how to do the former, there was still no problem in chopping stuffing. Li Peifeng thought that the other party's superb knife skills could also be used at this time.

He himself acts as the main force in making dumplings, and is responsible for kneading and rolling the dough.

But the other two did not just sit and watch them work as Li Peifeng said. After sitting for a while, Zhao Qingge and Huang Tianxuan went to the kitchen to help Wu Wenyue chop the stuffing. Do you know how to do it? Do you understand? Can you reach out? It doesn't matter if you really help, the most important thing is that it counts as participation.

"Duoduoduo~"

Wu Wenyue waved her two knives, and without blinking, she slashed at the pieces of meat that had been cut on the cutting board, from east to west, one hundred and eight cuts, then from south to north, and again. One hundred and eight cuts, cross-chop stuffing, cold light radiating, fierce yet light, the originally small pile of meat slices gradually turned into meat paste...

Zhao Qingge looked on coldly: "My knife skills are good, but don't you have a meat grinder?"

"No." Wu Wenyue answered in a brisk tone, and the two knives stopped. Then the two knives clashed with each other and made a clanging sound. He threw the sticky meat on the blade onto the cutting board, then used the two knives. Continue to chop.

The sound of the kitchen knife falling on the cutting board was so rhythmic that Wu Wenyue couldn't help but hum a song.

She also heard the conversation between the three people in the restaurant just now. What they didn't dare to think about, what they gave up with a white flag... Good news, good news!

The dog finally smashed the south wall into pieces, and his head was bruised and bloody, and he fell into a coma. I finally knew how to turn around. I can eat a few more dumplings today!

"Is the meat too sticky?"

Huang Tianxuan looked at her phone and said hesitantly: "I read on the Internet that when mincing meat fillings, you should add water while chopping. This will make the texture elastic and smooth, and on the other hand, it will not stick to the knife."

"Yeah?"

Wu Wenyue didn't have the slightest trust in the cooking skills of this wealthy daughter, but after hearing that the other party was searching on the Internet, she was a little unsure. In addition, it was also her first time to chop dumpling fillings, so she felt unsure, so she shouted loudly Said: "Xiao Feng, do you need to add water when mincing the meat filling?"

"Add!" Li Peifeng, who was kneading the dough in the restaurant, responded: "Just add cold water, but not too much. Add it two or three times. If it feels dry when chopping, just add a little bit. Too much water will also affect the taste."

"Oh." Wu Wenyue nuzzled at Huang Tianxuan next to her: "Bring me a bowl to get some water."

Huang Tianxuan immediately took a bowl of water and poured half a bowl of water on the meat filling.

Wu Wenyue quickly stopped: "Enough is enough, I would rather have less than more."

Zhao Qingge glanced at the pile of fat slices cut off the cutting board, picked it up and walked to the stove: "I'll refine the oil residue."

"You will?"

"You can learn from the videos."

After Zhao Qingge finished replying, he put down the plate, took out his mobile phone and opened the browser.

But Wu Wenyue warned: "You don't need to look at it, put the water first, put the fatty meat in a pot under cold water, pour off the water after it boils, put oil in the pot and put the fatty meat in, just keep the fire low."

"Bleach it first?"

"Yes, do you know how to boil water?"

"Wen Yue, don't just talk too much, chop it up!"

"Sister Xuan, don't patronize me as the supervisor, I haven't got the Chinese cabbage yet, why don't you cut it up with a knife?"

"Fine!"

'Duoduoduo' The sound of the collision of kitchen knives, the working sound of the gas stove and the range hood, and occasionally the chat of the three girls, all kinds of sounds blended together to form the final sound of fireworks in the world.

Li Peifeng heard this and kneaded the dough slowly. Although he still had strong regrets about the impending separation, he was also enjoying the last warm moment of reunion between the four of them.

Next time, not to mention the days when four people live together, it will be difficult to even sit and have a meal together.

When the lockdown is lifted tomorrow morning, if nothing else happens, the girls will pack up their luggage and leave without even having breakfast. This dumpling meal is probably the last meal for the four of them living together.

"I know the world is short as dew, yet, yet."

Li Peifeng paused slightly while kneading the dough, picked up the bowl, poured some water into the flour, and continued kneading, trying to knead the dough into a whole dough, and knead all the distracting thoughts in his heart!

He really wanted to raise the white flag and give up, what five-in-one and four-in-one, himself, Wu Wenyue and Xu Manying, the three of them are fine together. There is work and life in each other, and the relationship is harmonious, and no one can be separated from the other. Like Daoer, after all, the reality is too severe, and Huang Tianxuan is just a passing visitor...

"I heard that love has nine out of ten sorrows. Feelings always make me suffer...what's the disadvantage, eat dumplings! I have to drink something today, white, nine cups!"

The depression didn't last long, and Li Peifeng thought of a way to make himself happy.

After undergoing the transformation of [Stone Liver·Rudou's Gall] and other internal organs, he felt that when he was not in a bad mood, he could face even the worst things and encountered completely unsolvable difficulties. , Li Peifeng also vowed: "I allow myself to take a step back, temporarily stop moving forward, and become a big waste for a short time!"

More than half an hour later, Li Peifeng reconciled the noodles, and the dumpling filling was completed with the concerted efforts of the three girls.

"Listen to me, making dumplings is very simple, first put the stuffing, then stack like this..."

Before officially opening the bag, Li Peifeng took the first to pick up a dough, filled it with some stuffing, and explained it while making it, trying to teach the other three.

They are not stupid, and there is really nothing difficult. The three girls learned it one after another, and everyone worked together to call it a day.

"Is it time yet?"

"Twelve minutes... that's enough, the minced meat is cooked through."

"Open the pot!"

"Bring up the soy sauce and vinegar."

"Do you need vinegar for cabbage stuffing?"

"Just for this dumpling wrapped in vinegar!"

Before five o'clock, the first pot of dumplings made of cabbage and pork oil was steaming hot.

The one who took the tableware took the tableware, the one who served the dumplings served the dumplings, Li Peifeng cooked another dish, and added a tomato and egg drop soup, and the four of them finally officially took their seats.

Some of the dumplings on the plate were oddly shaped, some were long, some were round, and two had their fillings exposed. These were the necessary costs for the three girls to become novice dumpling makers.

"Who made this?" Wu Wenyue picked up a dough ball and said with a smile, "Is there no stuffing in it? Why is it wrapped like this?"

Zhao Qingge said calmly, "Tianxuan made it."

Huang Tianxuan looked indifferent: "The stuffing is exposed, let me take it all out and rub it... If you don't want to eat it, give it to me!"

"Here, don't throw it away."

"By the way, I forgot to put the coin!"

"It's all about putting coins in the new year. There's no need for the winter solstice. I'll start!"

The three girls each used chopsticks, but Li Peifeng looked out the window. The winter night came very quickly, and it was already dark at five o'clock. The snowflakes outside the window had not stopped since the morning, and seemed to be getting bigger. They were illuminated by indoor lights. Under the window, the little crystals flew by like feathers outside the window, met for a short time, and parted in the blink of an eye, as if the whole world was melting.

"I'll have some wine."

After saying this, Li Peifeng hurriedly got up and rummaged around the cupboard, and finally found a bottle of osmanthus wine brought specially when moving. He took another wine glass and sat back at the table. He poured himself a glass and drank alone silently. Although the expression is very enjoyable, but there is a trace of sadness in the eyes.

"what happened to you?"

Wu Wenyue seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "The blockade of the community has been lifted. Let's go home tomorrow. You can also go back to sleep on the big bed in your master bedroom. Why aren't you still drinking happily?"

"My unhappiness has nothing to do with that."

"What?"

Li Peifeng ate a mouthful of dumplings, drank another sip of wine, and became more sad: "Yue, did you not mix the dumpling filling well?"

"?"

Zhao Qingge coughed dryly: "Just now I ate a very salty one."

"The ones I ate were bland..."

Huang Tianxuan didn't believe in evil, picked up a new one, took a bite and nodded slightly: "It's not mixed well."

Wu Wenyue felt a little guilty: "No, I remember I got mixed up."

"It's been mixed, but it's not evenly mixed." Huang Tianxuan emphasized: "I saw that you only stirred twice and then stopped."

"Then why didn't you remind me?"

"I didn't know you didn't mix well. You should have tasted it then."

Li Peifeng smoothed things over: "Okay, let's eat, that's it for this time, pay attention next time, if there is a next time."

Wu Wenyue nodded in agreement: "When Man Ning's isolation is over, the three of us can make it again. She likes to eat it with mutton stuffing."

There was no sound except the clinking of bowls and chopsticks on the dinner table. Three or four seconds later, there was a man's steady voice: "Okay."

At seven o'clock, after dinner, Li Peifeng drank a bottle of white wine, added water twice, and returned to the attic with a slight alcohol smell.

I lay on the bed for two minutes to break away from other thoughts and start to think about a novel. After I had the thoughts, I was about to sit in front of the computer and type words when there was a knock on the door.

"Click~"

"Are you typing?"

Wu Wenyue came in. Uncharacteristically, she was not wearing pajamas. Instead, she was wearing a short black windbreaker. She was also not wearing culottes, but a pair of black silk wrapped around her long legs. She was wearing a style where her lower body was missing...

"I'm planning to ask for a code."

Wu Wenyue sat on the edge of the bed, placing her hands on her legs a little uncomfortably, but her face was quite calm: "Wouldn't it take up your time to chat?"

Li Peifeng sighed softly: "The chat is delayed. The chat takes too long. You can do other things. It will end in half an hour at most."

Wu Wenyue suppressed her laughter and asked knowingly: "...But I just want to chat, what else are you talking about??"

Dumplings, jiaozi.

Li Peifeng actually knew what Wu Wenyue wanted to do after dinner. After eating dumplings for dinner, it was natural for him to have sex in the evening!

My mother suffered a compression fracture of her lumbar spine and she is currently accompanying her. The words coded in the ward are a bit watery. I will make up for it in the next chapter and the next chapter.
