Chapter 122 Damn desire to survive
"Making dumplings is not difficult, but they are big, so everyone needs to participate. I bought a lot of meat and vegetables today. I will prepare the fillings first. Later, everyone will make them together to make it faster."
Ji Yi said to Huang Xiaochu and others.
When Chef Huang and others heard about making dumplings, they all said it was OK, no problem.
In fact, whether the dumplings are delicious or not, the filling is the most important.
"Teacher Huang, do you like dumplings?" Director Xixi asked Chef Huang.
"Dumplings. There is no one who doesn't like the North-South battle, right?" Huang Xiaochu smiled slightly: "How do you say that, the dumplings are not as delicious as the dumplings?"
Director Xixi was dumbfounded and quickly covered Huang Xiaochu's mouth.
Huang Xiaochu is confused??
"Why are you covering my mouth?"
Huang Xiaochu quickly pushed away Director Xixi's hand.
"I'm afraid you said the last part of the sentence." Director Xixi coughed. He was doing a live broadcast and the impact was not good. He will be hotly searched for later.
All the water friends in the live broadcast room were happy.
"Haha, the director has such a damn desire for survival."
"So what is the second half of the sentence?"
"It's not as delicious as dumplings, but it's fun, but I can't say anything about that. I'll be banned, but you should understand,/smile"
"Oh my god, Teacher Huang, you are really cheating."
Huang Xiaochu is a little innocent, this is really pure slander.
He didn't even want to say the second half of the sentence.
This is a common saying.
The last half of the sentence didn't exist before, it was added by netizens.
But now, when the director covers his mouth, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he can't wash it away.
It feels uncomfortable.
"Do you have the custom of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year?" Lin Yi curiously asked Reba.
Reba nodded: "Of course, in fact, our New Year celebrations in Western Xinjiang are similar to those in the mainland. During the Spring Festival, every household must hang red lanterns, put up red window grilles, and paste couplets. As you look around, it's all red."
As for food, dumplings are also essential during the New Year. However, the fillings of dumplings are different from those in the mainland. In the mainland, they are mostly stuffed with leeks, pork, green onions, and cabbage. On the other hand, in Western Xinjiang, the fillings of dumplings are basically mutton.
"You told me earlier, I won't buy beef." Lin Yi found that he didn't buy mutton.
"It doesn't matter, I like them all. The dumplings stuffed with beef are also delicious." Reba said quickly.
In the eyes of a seasoned foodie, beef and mutton are equally delicious.
Well. Being exposed to both rain and dew is the highest level of foodie.
Lin Yi began to use his knife skills to chop the dumpling fillings.
Over there, Director Xixi chatted with everyone about the custom of eating dumplings during the New Year.
"Do you know what the meaning of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year is? If you answer the question correctly, there will be a reward." Director Xixi got some red envelopes from somewhere, and if he answered correctly, he would be rewarded with a red envelope.
When they heard about the prize-winning guessing game, everyone immediately became interested.
Reba also ran over and raised her hand to signal for an answer.
Huang Xiaochu wanted to see what was in the red envelope, but Director Xixi scolded him: "If you answer the right question, I'll give you the red envelope, otherwise I won't even want to see it."
"I'm worried that there's nothing inside. It's empty. Let's check the goods," Huang Xiaochu said.
"That's impossible, it's at least a hundred yuan." Director Xixi said.
After hearing that it was at least a hundred dollars, everyone became more motivated.
Lin Yi smiled and watched them answer questions. The director was quite good at livening up the atmosphere.
"Reba, tell me." Director Xixi gave Reba the first opportunity to speak.
Reba chuckled: "Because dumplings are shaped like ingots, people eat dumplings during the Spring Festival, which has the meaning of attracting wealth."
"Correct answer." Director Xixi gave Reba a red envelope.
Reba opened it directly and found that there were five hundred yuan inside.
"Wow, thank you, director." Reba exclaimed.
Although this little money is nothing to her, she is still very happy to get the red envelope.
It's the same joy as when a child gets lucky money during the Chinese New Year.
Who doesn’t like free money?
"I'm rough, five hundred, director, you're bleeding profusely."
"It's unscientific. It's very unwelcome."
"I'll answer next."
Chef Huang was eager to try it.
"Draw lots, follow the order." The assistant director brought the paper.
Lin Yi was too lazy to guess, he put all his energy into making dumpling fillings.
Except for Reba who ate beef filling, everyone else ate pork filling.
So Ji Yi first took out the pork belly he bought and started to chop it on the chopping board.
When making dumpling fillings, the selection of ingredients is crucial.
Whether it’s meat, vegetables, or onions, you have to choose the best ones.
It is best to use local pork and green vegetables without pesticides.
Good fillings can give dumplings soul.
Lin Yi originally wanted to roll out the dough and make dumpling wrappers by himself.
After thinking about it later, I decided to forget it. There were a lot of people eating and there wasn’t enough time to roll out the dough.
Having ready-made dumpling skins can save a lot of trouble.
As long as the dumpling fillings are delicious, the final taste will not be bad.
Lin Yi chose pork belly, with a lean to fat ratio of about 37.
It’s not easy to have too much fat or lean meat.
Fresh, tender and elastic pork belly, the chopped dumpling meat filling will taste more tender and juicy, yyds.
The wild vegetables that Reba dug in the vegetable field were also washed by Ji Yi. After being cut, they were mixed with the meat and chopped.
Shepherd's purse meat filling, celery meat filling, leek and egg filling, etc.
In the end, Lin Yi made beef stuffing.
All kinds of fillings are separated and packaged differently.
Those vegetarian fillings and reba can also be eaten.
The water friends in the live broadcast room were confused by the two completely different painting styles of Mushroom House.
"How can I do it without being distracted by the excitement around me?"
"One side is lively and the other side is quiet. The style of the mushroom house is quite unique."
"The director is bleeding a lot today and throwing away money."
"I suspect you are scolding Director Xixi, and I have evidence."
"No, you slandered, throwing coins means Guangsi coins,/funny"
The dumpling fillings are chopped, and the next step is to wrap them.
Lin Yi called everyone over.
"Who doesn't know how to make dumplings?" Lin Yi asked everyone.
Sister Zifeng and the other young people all raised their hands.
"It's very simple. I'll teach you a trick." Lin Yi took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of stuffing, and picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper with the other hand.
Place the filling in the middle of the dumpling wrapper, fold the dumpling wrapper in half, pinch the edges tightly, and the dumpling is declared ready.
This is also the simplest method for beginners. Basically, you will know it after reading it once or twice.
It really only takes a hand.
"It's so easy, I know how to do it." Sister Zifeng picked up the dumpling wrapper and wrapped one like Lin Yi did just now.
Although it's a little weird, it can be considered a success.
There are many ways to make dumplings, the most common ones are crescent-shaped, straight-shaped, and cabbage-shaped, which are quick to wrap, convenient and time-saving.
In addition, there are pleated shapes.
Fold it in half, then fold and pleat one side, and pinch it together with the other side. However, this method of wrapping dumplings is still a bit difficult for Zifeng and the others, so it is suitable for Lin Yi and Huang Xiaochu.
