Chapter 457: These Dumplings Are Really Delicious(2/3)
However, this girl has a stubborn temper and did not give up because of this. Instead, she knocked on the dumpling skin and kept rolling it there...
Cai Yan, Dong Bai, Diao Chan and Yan were all sitting nearby making dumplings.
While making dumplings, we chatted and talked, which was very lively.
Cai Yan, Dong Bai and Diao Chan had made dumplings with Liu Cheng before, and they were relatively skilled in making dumplings at this time.
Yan's family is a bit incompetent.
This was the first time she heard about and saw dumplings, and it was also the first time she made dumplings.
Everything is easy for those who know how to do it, and difficult for those who don’t know how to do it.
Making dumplings seems to be a very simple thing, but when you actually do it, you will find that it is not that simple.
More stuffing, less stuffing, and the strength when pinching the dumplings are all things that need to be paid attention to.
After Yan made more than a dozen dumplings in a row, he finally found the trick...
Everyone present, except Liu Cheng, was not very familiar with cooking. Now they all started cooking under Liu Cheng's guidance and found it very fresh and interesting.
Of course, the most important thing is that the atmosphere is good and lively.
As the saying goes, New Year's Eve dinner is a feast that everyone does and is made by everyone.
The one who specializes in making bread and dumplings here is of course Liu Cheng. After all, he is a professional in cooking.
He put down the rolling pin and started making dumplings, and easily crushed the women.
Not only was it packed quickly, but it was also packed well.
Moreover, you can also wrap the dumplings with flowers.
In addition to regular ear-shaped dumplings, you can also easily make small goldfish-shaped, peach-shaped and so on.
This amazed the girls.
Among them, Yan was the most shocked.
Before that, she had never thought that Uncle Liu Huang, who was excellent in many aspects and had a very high status, would be so knowledgeable and proficient in food.
She couldn't help but want to ask out loud, what else could Uncle Liu Huang not know?
Looking at Uncle Liu Huang holding dumplings in front of him, Yan couldn't help but think of her late husband Lu Bu, and inevitably made some comparisons.
Before she met Liu Huangshu and got to know him more deeply, Yan admired her husband Lu Bu very much and felt that her husband was a hero and a character.
He was able to achieve such a high status and possess such powerful force by virtue of his background.
But now, with Uncle Liu Huang next to her for comparison, Yan went to see her late husband and felt that her late husband was really not good enough.
Compared with Uncle Liu Huang, they are in the same heaven and on the earth.
If she were to sit here and talk about Uncle Liu Huang's advantages, she would be able to say a lot in a short time.
It belongs to her deceased husband Lu Bu, but she can't say anything...
In fact, the most fundamental reason for the current situation is that when Lu Bu acted before, in order not to alarm Dong Zhuo, which led to his failure, he did not properly arrange for Yan's mother and daughter, which hurt Yan's heart.
Of course, our Uncle Liu Huang is really excellent and it is true.
Time passed quietly amid everyone's work.
Soon it was evening.
This time, Liu Cheng did not let the cooks at home cook for them.
Instead, he took the two ladies and a concubine down to the kitchen to make dumplings.
Yan and Lu Lingqi, who were making dumplings together, also entered the kitchen.
Their relationship is quite special. Nothing substantial happened between Liu Cheng and Yan.
Naturally, I won't give her a title or anything.
At this time, in the house, one can be regarded as existing as a guest.
After arriving in the kitchen, Yan rushed to light the fire and was very conscious.
Several girls couldn't compete with her, so they had to let her do the job.
Liu Cheng added water to the pot and waited for the water to boil to put dumplings in it.
Seeing Uncle Liu Huang personally cooking the spoon, Yan felt that it was so comfortable to sit in front of the stove and light the fire...
"Uncle, we have made so many dumplings, do we have to cook them all? We can't finish them all."
Lu Lingqi kept looking at the numerous dumplings in the kitchen, watching Liu Cheng ask this question.
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I can finish eating."
Later, Lu Lingqi understood why the emperor's uncle said this.
Take a large pot of dumplings out after cooking and rinse them with cold water to prevent them from sticking together and breaking the dumpling wrappers.
Then Liu Cheng cooked two more large pots and cooked them in the same way.
Three large pots of dumplings filled two large buckets.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law and Chan'er continue to cook dumplings here. I and the two ladies will go to deliver some dumplings to the soldiers."
After the three large pots of dumplings were cooked, more than half of the dumplings Liu Cheng and the others made today had disappeared.
Liu Cheng smiled and explained to Diao Chan and Yan.
Then he found a pole made of moso bamboo, picked up two large buckets of cooked dumplings, and took the two ladies out.
According to Liu Cheng's physical strength, he could easily carry a bucket with one hand.
However, carrying it with a load is more ceremonial.
After hearing this, Yanshi Lu Lingqi understood why Liu Cheng had made so many dumplings before.
Lu Lingqi stood here and looked at Yan, who was lighting the fire, and then at Liu Cheng and the others. After a moment of hesitation, she followed Liu Cheng and others out the door...
Liu Cheng walked through the snow all the way to the station of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The station of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is not far from Liu Cheng's house, just over a mile away.
Seeing Liu Cheng coming in person with the cooked dumplings and two ladies, the place immediately became excited.
"My wife and I made these dumplings today. It's Chinese New Year and I'm sending you some to try."
Liu Cheng looked at the many joyful guards and said.
There were three hundred personal guards. The two large buckets of dumplings Liu Cheng brought seemed to be quite heavy. It was impossible to feed these people. Not even one bowl could be shared by each person. However, it was a proper expression of friendship.
Out.
After all, the emperor's uncle and his wife had packed it with their own hands, and they had walked through the snow to deliver it in person. Many of the guards were extremely moved.
Don't worry about whether they have enough to eat, because the tiger and leopard riding here have also made dumplings and are preparing to cook them.
Compared with the dumplings that Liu Cheng and the others had given away, the dumplings made here are much bolder.
One can match the four of Liu Cheng and the others, which is in line with everyone's temperament.
"Try them all quickly. I'm afraid they will stick to each other, so I rinsed them with cold water when I took them out of the pot. If I don't eat them, they will be completely cold..."
Liu Cheng called on everyone to eat quickly.
The crowd started to move.
“Delicious, so delicious!”
"The Emperor's uncle and his wife's craftsmanship are truly incredible!"
There was a sudden burst of praise here.
Zhao Yun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, while eating dumplings, did not forget to give a thumbs up to Liu Cheng and others with his right hand.
Cai Yan, Dong Bai and others were surprised that Zhao Yun used his left hand to use chopsticks. Liu Cheng was already used to it.
In this warm atmosphere, the two large buckets of dumplings were eaten clean in a short time.
The cook in the tiger and leopard riding team wanted to order some dumplings for the emperor's uncle and his wife to eat, but after recalling the taste of the dumplings that the emperor's uncle sent him, and recalling the exquisite appearance of the dumplings that the emperor's uncle and his wife sent him, he
Looking at the dumplings made by myself and others, I suppressed this thought again.
If the emperor's uncle was the only one here, it would be easy to explain. During the march before, I and others often had meals with the emperor's uncle.
But isn't the emperor's uncle here now with his two newlywed ladies?
There was also a girl wearing unusual clothes with her...
"The water is boiling. Hurry up and put down the dumplings. I'm still waiting to eat a bowl of dumplings before going back.
I sent you two big buckets of dumplings. Isn’t it too much to take your wife here to eat a few bowls of dumplings?"
Liu Cheng looked at the boss, Mr. Zheng, who looked embarrassed, and laughed and cursed.
"Okay! Uncle Emperor, please wait a moment!"
Zheng Laofi responded and shouted with a smile on his face.
