Chapter 241 Making Dumplings
It's almost noon, and the fishermen are going home one after another. Some of them return home with a full harvest, while others smile lightly and don't get much.
Those who had not caught any fish continued fishing, and their hard work paid off, and their fish baskets gradually became lively.
Lin Fuyue has heard from her grandfather since she was a child not to eat sauerkraut during the Chinese New Year, saying that eating sauerkraut will lead to poverty in the coming year.
So she taught people how to make braised fish, boiled fish, steamed carp and other kinds of fish.
During the Chinese New Year, I don’t plan to make pickled fish and pickled chicken, but will change them to other dishes.
Regardless of whether she uses sauerkraut or not, the fish she cooks will be particularly fragrant and delicious.
She especially likes to eat wild fish because their meat is tender and delicate.
The New Year's dinner of the Yan Dynasty was held at noon on New Year's Eve, and everyone worked together to cook ten dishes.
Everyone happily ate the New Year's dinner, chatting and laughing, but Lin Fuyue still followed the customs of her previous life.
Lu Shaoyi looked at the dough in his hand and shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Yufan, are we ignorant and incompetent?"
Lu Yufan picked up the dough he kneaded and shook it left and right: "Mom, look, I'm like this."
It's called cooking cakes, and it's the same thing all over the country. The only difference is that wealthy families hide gold and silver in their cakes.
"Okay, okay, look carefully, just pinch each other like this." Lin Fuyue taught while pinching another ingot.
"Dad, you are so smart. You have thought of all this. It is really amazing."
You can't make the edges smooth, which means you can't live a "bald" life.
"Xiao Yufan, what we are making now are dumplings. Although the shapes are different, they are still making dumplings."
Lu Shaoyi:...Does his mother need to say so much in one go?
Lin Fuyue complained in her heart: Her mother-in-law is really educated.
"Mom, if you teach me one more time, I will pinch Yuanbao too." Lu Yufan stood on the small bench and said with a pout.
"Grandma, you are so awesome. Why don't you make sauerkraut dumplings? The sauerkraut dumplings made by my mother are delicious."
"Mom, what are dumplings?"
Lin Fuyue really wanted to hit them. She wanted to learn how to make gold ingots before she could make dumplings.
"Really? Then I'll make another small gold-covered one. Will you recognize it at a glance?" Mother Lu regained her confidence.
"Sauerkraut, the name has a bad meaning and makes people think of poverty, so your mother didn't make pickled fish today."
Lu Shaoqian smiled sweetly. This is the kind of relationship they have as a couple, really.
When he saw that there was no pickled fish on the New Year's dinner table, he quietly asked his wife.
"Brother, what you said makes sense. You know everything my sister-in-law does. Mom, what are they called?"
Lin Fuyue just comforted Mother Lu casually. She really recognized who had done it at a glance.
“The dumplings prepared for New Year’s Eve dinner should not only be delicious, but also bring good luck and good luck.
"Oh, I'm so stupid... Wuwu..." Lu Yufan was so anxious that his eyes were spinning in his eyes.
It is in the shape of a "yuanbao" and is placed on a dustpan. "This symbolizes wealth everywhere and the house full of gold and silver."
"Sister-in-law, if you teach us a few more times, I feel like I'm about to learn it."
"Yi'er, do you know that dumplings mean saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new? A small dumpling contains everything and a hundred blessings."
As soon as his hand loosened, there was a "pop" sound, the dough fell to the table and spread out, and the fillings spilled out.
Because they didn't have any basic knowledge, they couldn't learn it well, and the dumplings they made couldn't even wrap the fillings.
Lu Yufan looked at his father with admiration, and he even forgot about the crushed dumplings.
After the New Year's dinner, we stopped going out to do farm work, so we started making dumplings together.
"Yes, I can also pack some with leeks, haha..." Mother Lu was very motivated.
Lin Fuyue deftly shaped the dumpling into a crescent shape and pinched the two corners together.
Lu Shaoyi took a look at the ingot that Yi Bai pinched. It was still a little different from the one made by his sister-in-law, but it was indeed much prettier than the one he pinched.
"Mom, you can pinch more and put gold coins in some and silver coins in some."
"You and your sister-in-law have a perfect understanding of each other. They are also good at playing the piano and the harp. The luan and the phoenix sing harmoniously, and the love between husband and wife is deep..."
But she still taught patiently, because most people learned it well.
Dumplings stuffed with celery and pork, dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, dumplings stuffed with leeks and pork, etc., all have very good meanings.”
Dumplings are dumplings in modern times. When making dumplings, you must have a few more pleats.
"I still think the dumplings look better when you make them. Haha" Lin Fuyue laughed.
"Yue'er, isn't Mom very stupid? Why doesn't she look like her?" Mother Lu almost wanted to give up.
Poor families would place a copper plate to predict good luck, and if their family members had enough food, they would have good luck throughout the year.
Lu Shaoyi praised his brother and asked his mother for advice. He felt that he was really happy this year.
"Mom, the one you made looks pretty good, it doesn't have to be exactly like my Yuanbao."
So she suggested to Mother Lu to make more dough balls with strange shapes.
Lin Fuyue helped Mother Lu regain her confidence. She took one look at Menghan and her son and said they were almost done.
"Now, brother Yi, Xiao Yufan, you guys have to take a look clearly. You must squeeze it carefully. This is called pinching blessings."
"I'm not. Mom, do you think I can learn it?" Lu Yufan asked with a pouted mouth.
Lu Yufan quickly picked it up, put it in his hands and squeezed it from side to side, but still couldn't make a sound.
Mother Lu was not very good at work, but her knowledge was not limited. She had read poetry and books since she was a child.
When everyone followed her movements, what they pinched out was not an ingot, but a strange-shaped dough ball.
Lu's mother, Lu Shaoyi, and Meng Han's mother and son also watched eagerly, and they also really wanted to learn.
Lin Fuyue told everyone to use the thumb and index finger of the right hand to knead it along the edge of the semicircle.
This is easy to learn, and many people can learn it immediately, but this does not include Lu Mu, Lu Shaoyi, and Xiao Yufan.
"Okay, you have to study hard this time. Look at me, I can squeeze it without much effort."
People all over the Yan Dynasty ate white flour on the first day of every year, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, high or low.
When Xiao Yufan asked him questions, he immediately answered them. He knew that his wife especially liked to eat pickled fish.
"I also want to follow my mother, who is good at playing the harp and harp, how the luan and the phoenix sing harmoniously, and the love between husband and wife... I also want to learn how to make dumplings from my mother."
"Look at it, Yi Bai and Aunt Menghan look really good together. Brother Yi, come on, Xiao Yufan."
Lu Shaoqian was making noodles. He couldn't do such a delicate job as making dumplings. He happened to come over to see his wife.
"Ha ha……"
Xiao Yufan's words made everyone laugh.
"Xiao Yufan, please pay attention to your words and don't talk nonsense, otherwise dad will spank you."
"Am I talking nonsense? I told my grandmother all the time." Lu Yufan opened his innocent eyes wide.
