Chapter 174 Egg Bread Dumplings
"If you find anything wrong, tell me immediately. If I'm not home, tell your second uncle, or Daniel, Uncle Zhang and the others."
"it is good."
"One time, I secretly observed that woman. She was wearing a flowery cotton-padded dress, her hair was neatly combed, and she had a smile on her face, but that smile seemed a little fake to me. She found another excuse to come to our place and brought some snacks, saying they were for everyone to try. I watched her pass the snacks to Qin Mu, and he just politely took them, said thank you, and put them aside."
"Well, you should pay more attention. If there is any problem, please help your brother. Your brother is quite straightforward and doesn't pay much attention to these things. I will talk to your brother tomorrow."
In the kitchen, Qin Mu had already boiled the hot water and called out to his younger brother, sister and Su Panpan that they could wash up.
When Su Panpan was in town, Qin Mu was responsible for taking care of his younger siblings, and he had grown into a little man.
He arranged all the tasks in an orderly manner, including watering and weeding the vegetable garden, fertilizing the fruit trees, feeding the chickens and dogs, cleaning the yard, and sorting firewood.
With the help of his younger brothers and sisters, everything at home was kept in perfect order. They would also work in his second uncle's fields. In his extra free time, he would play with the children in the village.
At this time, other children in the village had already started dating and getting married.
Qin Mu was thankful that his mother hadn't arranged this for him yet. He was still thinking of waiting for his mother to build a house so that he could go to school in town.
After washing up, Su Panpan asked the children to go to bed early.
Su Panpan lay on the bed with her eyes closed, but she couldn't help thinking that Qin Mu had become more sensible and took good care of everyone at home. He had really grown up.
But he is still young after all, and has a long way to go in the future. He can't stay in Huaxi Village forever. After the house is built, I have to arrange for him to go to school. Since I have become someone's mother, I have to be responsible for these children.
Su Panpan thought of the woman who always came to see Qin Mu, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried. She didn't know what Qin Mu thought about this matter, and she couldn't treat Qin Mu as a child anymore.
Then, Su Panpan's thoughts drifted away again. The winter solstice would be the day after tomorrow. Would Han Jingrui return? What was the situation on the front lines like? These unknowns kept her from fully settling down.
On this quiet night, the sky is dotted with stars and the moon is high in the sky, casting silvery moonlight.
Su Panpan gradually fell asleep in this faint worry and expectation.
The next morning, Su Panpan got up and prepared to make some lard and egg noodles.
As before, put soy sauce, salt, MSG, chopped green onions at the bottom of the bowl, scoop a spoonful of lard, and pour in boiling noodle soup. The chopped green onions become greener under the influence of the soup, and the lard slowly melts, creating an oily sheen on the surface of the soup. Add the noodles, blanch a few green vegetables, and fry a poached egg on top, and it's done.
Several children also got up and washed.
Qin Mu was the first to come to the table. Looking at the bowl of delicious noodles, his eyes lit up: "Mom, I haven't eaten your noodles in a long time. I know they must be delicious just by looking at them."
"Wow, it smells so good. I can't wait." Xiaoxiao, Qin Xiao and Yueyue also gathered around, and Yueyue said happily.
"Then eat it while it's hot." Su Panpan responded lovingly.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started to taste the delicious noodles.
Qin Mu took a bite and a satisfied look appeared on his face. "These noodles are so delicious. Mom's cooking skills are still so great."
Xiaoxiao nodded while eating: "Yeah, I haven't tasted such delicious noodles in a long time."
"Mom, it's really delicious." Qin Xiao's mouth was full.
Yueyue also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I will eat it again in the future."
The children ate without caring about their image at all. They finished the noodles in no time without leaving a drop of soup.
Qin Mu put down his chopsticks, feeling unsatisfied.
Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth and said, "I haven't eaten so satisfyingly in a long time."
Qin Xiao and Yueyue stared at the empty bowl, as if they were still savoring the delicious noodles.
Maybe it had been a long time since they had tasted Su Panpan’s cooking, so this bowl of noodles was simply the ultimate delicacy for the children.
Su Panpan took the children to the vegetable garden to pull weeds, apply fertilizer, trim the branches of the fruit trees, and pick some vegetables, onions, celery and garlic sprouts. The freshly unearthed vegetables were juicy.
Time flies so fast, the whole morning has passed by.
She thought that she hadn't made dumplings for a long time, so she planned to make some for the children.
She kneaded the dough skillfully, and the dough gradually became smooth and tough under her hands.
The children gathered around, watching her movements curiously.
"Mom, is it difficult to make dumplings?" Xiaoxiao asked, blinking her big eyes.
Su Panpan smiled and replied, "It's not difficult. You can help me later."
She picked up the rolling pin and began to roll out the dumpling wrappers. The dumpling wrappers became round and thin one by one.
The children were eager to try, so Su Panpan patiently taught them how to roll out the dough.
Then she began to chop the meat, and the knife made a "thump, thump, thump" sound as it fell on the chopping board.
I also chopped up some of the fried lard residue.
She chopped celery and green onions, added them to the minced meat, then added soy sauce, salt, MSG and chopped lard and mixed them together.
The fragrance spread instantly.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Qin Xiao sniffed.
Su Panpan said with a smile: "It will be more fragrant when it is wrapped and cooked later."
Let’s make dumplings together.
Su Panpan taught the children step by step how to wrap the fillings into dumpling skins and shape them into beautiful shapes.
The children learned very seriously. Although the dumplings they made were of different shapes, they were all full of their efforts and expectations.
Su Panpan looked at the children's focused expressions and felt very happy. These children were all sensible, obedient, and hardworking. They were really a blessing to her.
In her previous life, people would tell her every day that children were difficult to raise and rebellious, which made her afraid of getting married, let alone having children.
Now, after traveling through time, I have become a mother of four children. Fortunately, I am not that lucky. In Huaxi Village, I am already very happy as I can meet my daily food and drink needs and keep warm.
In fact, the children of wealthy families in the capital were also very competitive. They had to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, music, chess, calligraphy and painting from a young age, learn etiquette and martial arts such as horse riding and archery.
It’s just that Su Panpan traveled to Huaxi Village, a relatively remote village in Xiayong Kingdom, and did not come into contact with the atmosphere of the scroll.
In fact, no matter what era, there is always an unbridgeable gap between the upper class and the lower class.
They seem to be in two different worlds. In the ocean of information, the upper class is like a giant ship standing on the top of the waves, easily capturing the latest information from all directions. Relying on their extensive network of contacts and powerful resource networks, they are well aware of the general situation in the world.
