Chapter 37 Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors
Ma Xiliang, the only son of the Ma family, is eighteen years old this year. He is a tall, honest and strong man. Just like other young men in this village, he married a wife early, Zhao Erjie'er, a girl from the Zhao family in the same village. He is also a diligent and cheerful person.
The family has a lot of labor, so the Ma family not only cultivated more than a dozen acres of medium-sized fields in their own daily life, but also rented five acres of medium-sized fields from the Rong family to cultivate.
Ma Yuan's family not only knows how to make tofu to subsidize the household income, but also has a good hand in spinning and weaving. The son, daughter and daughter at home are very capable. They also raise two pigs, two cows, four sheep, and more than a dozen chickens, ducks and geese in the neat and neat yard. During the slack season, Ma would go outside to carry the peddler's loads to do business. Therefore, the Ma family is a good family in the village. They live in five spacious and bright blue brick houses, and their lives are prosperous.
In addition, their family is generous and cheerful, so they get along well with the Rong family. The chickens, ducks and geese laid eggs, ducks and goose eggs, ewes’ goat milk, cow’s milk, vegetables grown in the field, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese killed during the Chinese New Year, fish that Ma Xiliang caught from the river, and tofu made by Ma Yuan’s family were basically bought by the Rong family.
The two cows from the Ma family are often rented by Tan Yingyuan and Cai Bairui, and are used to pull a cart to the county town. During the busy farming season, the Ma family will take the initiative to help Tan Yingyuan and Cai Bairui do some farm work.
When Ma Wubao went out to do business, he would bring back the Rong family what he needed. Ma Yuan also liked to come to the Rong family to do needlework and thread together with Lu's mother. Lu's mother would also give some tips on the needlework and thread techniques. The two families got closer and closer, but they both got a lot of help from each other.
Today's goat milk was also collected by Mother Lu's house before lunch. A fresh big bowl of sea water was still steaming.
Mother Lu poured the goat milk in. Since her daughter knew that since she recovered from the illness, she prefers to drink cow milk and goat milk (Rong Yunhe said: Because drinking milk can grow! It can also enhance immunity), Mother Lu poured a whole bowl of goat milk and turned off the heat after the sugar water in the pot boiled again. This is because if you cook it for too long, the nutrition in the goat milk will be consumed.
After the preparation was made, Lu's mother ordered Zi Su to bring the goat's milk, sweet potato sugar water to Rong Yun and his brother and sister so that they could eat sweet potatoes while it was hot.
Then, she started making shrimp dumplings.
Mother Lu prepared two taels of filtered white/flour, an appropriate amount of starch, a spoonful of lard, an appropriate amount of salt, half a pound of fresh shrimp, a tael of pork, a scallion, a piece of ginger, a half spoonful of pepper and a large bowl of hot water to boil.
She first started preparing the ingredients for making shrimp dumpling fillings, namely pork belly, fresh shrimp, ginger and green onions.
Mother Lu ordered the big girl to remove the fresh shrimp, remove the head, remove the shrimp thread and internal organs, then pick out the big shrimp and prepare to make the whole shrimp later, cut the small ones into diced pieces, and cut the pork belly into diced pieces.
Then she mixed the shrimp meat and pork belly and chopped it into a meat paste, then grabbed the shrimp paste with her hands and threw it on the cutting board. She stopped until the shrimp paste became more viscous.
Then put the shrimp paste into a bowl, add the scallion foam, minced ginger, soy sauce, salt and pepper, and then stir the shrimp paste with chopsticks. After the shrimp paste becomes very sticky, it's time to do it.
Then Lu's mother added chopped green onion and stirred evenly.
Then add the whole shrimp to slice ginger, scallion, salt and pepper, mix well and marinate.
After the shrimp dumpling filling is made, Lu’s mother put the white/flour, starch and salt into a large sea bowl and stir evenly. Then add the hot water to the flour and stir until it is dry powder.
Then cover the big sea bowl with a cup of tea, add a small spoonful of lard, mix it into smooth dough, divide it into small decoctions, take a small decoction and press it into dough slices with the back of the knife, put it on the shrimp paste, then put a whole shrimp, then wrap it up, and pinch it out the pattern.
Because the dough is easy to dry, Lu's mother covered the dough with a clean wet cloth when wrapping, took one piece and wrapped one; and when wrapping, the filling should not be too much, because if too much is placed, the shrimp dumplings will crack after steaming.
After that, Mother Lu added an appropriate amount of water to the pot, put the shrimp dumplings on a steamer, and put a piece of carrot slices under each shrimp dumpling. Then put the steamer on the pot, cover the pot, and steam it over low heat. Only by using low heat can the cracking of the shrimp dumplings be reduced, so that the steamed shrimp dumplings will look good and delicious.
About a quarter of an hour later, Lu's mother turned off the heat and lifted the lid, put the shrimp dumplings in a translucent state neatly in the verdant bamboo plate, and then told the girl to bring them to Rong Yun and his brother and sister.
ps: It's still so cold today...whether the sunny day and the sun were agreed upon? (╯3╰)
Awu really wants to stay in the bed and write, so that her feet will not be frozen cold⊙w⊙Every winter, I miss the heating in the university dormitory very much. At that time, Awu could wear a nightgown and wander around in the dormitory at will, and she couldn't feel the cold at all.
Cough, today's Awu's recipe is very good in the morning, tea eggs and eight-treasure porridge, scallion oil and fish and rice, and at night, it is a big bun with three fresh stuffings, white and fat, hehe~ That's right, I'm just a foodie~(≧▽≦)
Routinely rolling around and acting cute, asking for recommendation votes, collect, leave a message, and ask for various whimpers... Let's look at Awu's shining eyes, asking for recommendation votes and collection to feed ing~(tet)
Finally, I recommend my friends' writings, dear Deguozida Guyan House Fighting Text. I have been preparing for a long time before I opened the article. Awu also participated in the idea in the middle and made a little suggestions. Fruit has two finished writings, so the pits are very guaranteed. I highly recommend the little angels to go and have a look. It is fat to be slaughtered, and the hot updates are ~o(n_n)o~~
