Chapter 5 Sixi Dumplings
Sixi dumplings, a famous palace dish in the Manchu-Han banquet, are also among the best among the 108 types of dumplings in the dumpling banquet.
It is Qin Luo’s most unforgettable snack that he will never forget.
After all, being beaten three times for a meal of dumplings would be quite explosive in the Qin family.
Friends who have watched Little Master of China must remember the golden ratio Shaomai made by Master Xie when he was playing in the 23rd episode.
At that time, Qin Luo was still in kindergarten, and there was a TV station that would show the Chinese Little Boss animation at 6 o'clock every night. Qin Luo would squat in front of the TV with a bowl in his arms every day, rain or shine.
Then she fell in love with Golden Ratio Shaomai.
In the world view of Qin Luo, who was still illiterate at the time, Master Xie made siomai and my father also made siomai.
So my dad = Master Xie.
So my dad can make Golden Ratio Siomai.
Then Qin Luo pointed at the TV and shouted that she wanted to eat the golden ratio siomai. Not only did she yell, but she also went to the kindergarten to brag, saying that her father could make the golden ratio siomai. This caused the kindergarten classmates to go back and ask their own father why he didn't even have the golden ratio siomai.
He couldn't do it, so the kindergarten teacher came directly to the parents and asked what was going on with the Qin family.
First, his brother has the system, and then his father is Master Xie. Can the Qin family be better?
As a result, Qin Luo received his first beating.
Originally, the matter would have ended here, but Qin Huai felt uneasy about his conscience. In his opinion, such a trivial matter was not punishable by punishment. The main reason why Qin Luo was beaten was because of his previous criminal record.
In order to make up for his sister, Qin Huai went home and looked through the collection of snacks he bought from his classmates for one dollar at the elementary school flea market.
Turned over the Sixi Dumplings.
The same style peripherals of Golden Ratio Siomai.
According to the recipe in the Dim Sum Encyclopedia, Qin Huai tried making it.
It tastes terrible.
The combination of ingredients is simply unacceptable to the human palate.
Qin Luo even cried.
It’s not that I cried because it tasted bad, it was mainly because I was disillusioned and found out that the food cooked by my idol, Master Xie, was actually very unpalatable, which made me cry sadly.
The sad Qin Luo found his cousin He Cheng, who was also a fan of Master Xie, and shared with him the journey of his idol's disillusionment. The two were sad and sad together, hiding in a corner of the park and emoticon quietly. The family thought the child had been abducted by traffickers.
When he left, he was so anxious that he almost called the police, but when he was found, he was beaten again.
Seeing Qin Luo getting beaten twice just for eating a mouthful of dumplings, Qin Huai learned from the pain and decided to figure out the recipe himself. After dozens of failures, he finally made a golden ratio that was delicious and beautiful, but completely inconsistent with the original... Ah no, four
Love dumplings.
Although the fan work did not match the real thing, Qin Luo didn't care.
Because although her dad is not Master Xie, her brother is!
Her brother may not really have a system, but her brother must be Master Xie!
Feeling that he was capable, Qin Luo went to the kindergarten to brag, and then the teacher sued his parents.
Originally, Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong didn't want to beat their daughter again for this kind of thing, but they thought it was coming. They had already been beaten twice anyway, so there was no harm in beating them one more time.
So Qin Luoxi mentioned the third beating.
So far, Sixi dumplings have become the Qin family’s reserved snack.
It is a must-eat during festivals and gatherings with relatives and friends. Every time everyone gets together to eat dumplings happily, the elders always tease Qin Luo and ask her if your brother is Master Xie?
Qin Luo said: It's delicious, I love it.
Although the third spanking was a bit of a loss, without the first two spanks, there would be no result of her brother's hard work and hard work.
She is looking for the welfare of her family!
In order to motivate Qin Huai to make delicious Sixi dumplings, her sister being beaten three times is nothing, isn't it just a beating? She is strong-skinned and can resist beatings. She will dare to do it next time!
It is precisely because of this that whenever Qin Huai makes Sixi dumplings, Qin Luo is the one who takes the most active part.
In the kitchen, father and son Qin Huai and Qin Congwen were chopping meat. One was loud and the other was fast-paced. For a while, the dull sound of the kitchen knife chopping on the chopping board came one after another. It was very rhythmic, tinkling like notes beating on the keys of a piano.
Qin Luo was washing vegetables carefully, Zhao Rong was making egg skins, and the whole family was performing their duties in the kitchen in an orderly manner.
After preparing the ground meat, Qin Huai started kneading the dough.
There are three lights in kneading dough, surface light, basin light, and hand light. Qin Huai learned this skill by himself when he was a child in an orphanage. Qin Congwen often lamented that Qin Huai could tell his skill just from his kneading movements.
He was born to eat this bowl of rice. Most people knead the dough. Qin Huai not only kneads the dough, but also kneads it cleanly and beautifully. The final product is like a work of art, just like a master who worked hard to make it.
The beloved disciple who has been cultivated through many years of hard work does not look like a wild child at all.
A few years ago, Qin Congwen would help knead the dough and let the neighbors buy blind box surprises when buying steamed buns. With Qinhuai graduating from university and returning home to sell breakfast full-time, this is the most important job in the breakfast shop.
All of them were gradually handed over to Qin Huai.
Qin Congwen suffered a waist injury. As he got older, his waist became worse and worse, so he had to hit his hands when it was time to hit him.
"Dad, cut the mushrooms and the carrots into small dices." Qin Huai pointed to the soaked mushrooms in the basin.
Qin Luo's knife skills are at their limit, cutting spinach stems, dicing carrots...
She still has to keep her left hand to carry the bowl when eating.
According to the recipe in the Dim Sum Encyclopedia, four distinctly colored fillings must be placed in the four pockets of Sixi Dumplings.
It may not taste delicious this way, but it must look good. If you steam it and take a photo and post it on WeChat, you can get a few rows of likes.
In fact, it doesn't taste good.
Qin Huai tried making Qin Luo for the first time and decided to give up on the good-looking method and chose to mix all the fillings together to make a delicious filling of pork, shiitake mushrooms and diced carrots that catered to popular tastes.
As for the restoration of the shape, Qin Huai chose to put a layer of purely decorative ingredients on top of the filling to enhance the shape.
Facts have proved that this is indeed a good method. The traditional dumpling fillings are decorated with four colors of diced mushrooms, diced ham, spinach stalks and egg skins. It has a beautiful shape, bright colors, juicy fillings and strong dumplings.
The skin, coupled with Qin Luo's eating method of chewing peony, Qin Luo didn't realize that the four-color pockets of Sixi dumplings actually had the same fillings when he ate them for the first time.
She once thought that Qin Huai really went to great lengths to use four kinds of fillings to restore the golden ratio of siomai in the animation for her. She was so moved that she burst into tears and gave Qin Huai all her pocket money as a reward for his hard work.
Not in vain, Qin Huai carefully selected four decorative ingredients that can be eaten with the fillings to create different textures and flavors.
After wrapping the fresh Sixi dumplings, place them in the freezer section of the refrigerator to freeze. They can be kept for up to 7 days without losing flavor. In order to save trouble, Qin Huai usually wraps enough for 5 to 7 days at a time, so you can eat them as you go, and this time is no exception.
, it would be a good idea to give Chen Huihong a few bags to take back for breakfast when the time comes. Homemade snacks are best used as gifts for people, they are neither expensive nor thoughtful.
After working hard for half an afternoon, after preparing all the skins and fillings, the Qin family gathered around the dining table to make buns, dumplings and wontons.
Zhao Rong makes wontons so fast that she hardly needs to watch them. She is as skilled as a female assembly line worker with twenty years of work experience, one wonton per second.
"Huaihuai." Zhao Rong spoke.
"Your dad and I discussed it at noon today. Your house is ready for occupancy, and you are sure to stay here in the future. The shop at home is closed and the Pork King sent a message this morning asking me if I secretly go to other places for meat.
We are buying meat from the stall. Luoluo actually wants to go back and play with her classmates. How about we go back tomorrow? If you have anything else, call us over."
Hearing what Zhao Rong said, Qin Luo, who was happily making wontons, opened his eyes in disbelief, his face full of: Mom, when did I say I wanted to go back to play with my classmates?
I really like it here!
"Yes, yes." Qin Congwen agreed, "Your mother and I can't take any time off. We haven't worked for several days and we don't feel at ease."
"And your house only has two rooms. It's not easy for us to stay here."
Qin Luo was so anxious that he wanted to speak, but Qin Huai gave her a look to tell her not to worry.
He knew that Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen did not want to cause trouble to him.
It is said that love means one often feels indebted. Parents Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen must be the parents in the world who are most likely to feel indebted.
Qin Huai was already very old when he was adopted, and it was impossible for him not to remember things. Not only did he and the Qin family know that he was adopted, but even the neighbors near the Qin family knew.
As the saying goes, two bowls of water are hard to balance, and parents will inevitably prefer one over the other for biological children, let alone adopted ones.
Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong have always been very careful in dealing with their two children. If one buys new clothes, the other must buy them. The pocket money must be the same, the new year's money must be the same, and even tutoring classes and tutoring books for make-up lessons cannot be used.
It's biased. Qin Huai helps in the store on weekdays, but Qin Luo also has to be in the store.
When Qin Huai was in high school, he had to take four remedial classes a week. Qin Luo, who had just entered elementary school, also had to take four classes. The courses were not interesting enough to make up for it, including Mathematical Olympiad, reading, English, and Go.
Holding my parents' lap, crying and calling me, please, please favor my brother over me!
Qin Huai's academic performance is average, and his talent in pastries and taste can be seen. Since he was a child, he has been recognized by everyone as the official successor of the Qin Family Breakfast Restaurant.
At that time, many people advised Qin Congwen and his wife that since your family has a shop, your son has a craft, and his studies are average, it is better to find connections and send your son to a good pastry shop to learn the craft, which is no worse than studying.
But Qin Congwen was afraid that Qin Huai would be unhappy if he did this. He felt that he favored his biological daughter and let his adopted son study abroad and suffer while his daughter studied and enjoyed happiness at home. In addition, everything that had been engraved in his DNA over the years was of inferior quality, and he could only be good at studying.
Qin Congwen enrolled Qin Huai in a bunch of supplementary classes and gave him a supplementary course.
Now that Qin Huai has returned after inheriting the inheritance, Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong may have begun to sleep regularly again.
Qin Huai could guess what they were thinking. They just thought that Qin Huai's biological parents were so rich that even if their family fell into trouble, they would leave an eight-digit inheritance for Qin Huai to inherit. Qin Huai followed their couple.
The adoptive parents are really suffering. After a little sleep, I feel that the two of them leaving Qin Luo here are very similar to the adoptive parents who are motivated by wealth and try to occupy the property of their adopted son with their own daughter. The warm family comedy instantly turns into a bloody one.
Tear drama.
In addition, the room was indeed not enough for living, and it would not be good for anyone to live in the living room or live out. After much thought, the couple came to the conclusion that it was understandable to pack Qin Luo home and continue to work hard to make money.
There was a lot to think about, but Qin Huai knew how to defeat the enemy with one blow.
"Dad, Mom." Qin Huai put down the rolling pin in his hand, showing a somewhat hurt look, "I just inherited the community canteen, I have no experience, and now I am short of manpower. Are you really not going to stay and help me?"
Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen:......
Qin Luo instantly understood what Qin Huai meant and said loudly: "That's right, parents, you are going too far. This morning, I was still worried about what to do if the canteen does not open smoothly. You actually want to be the shopkeeper and walk away.
I leave such a big mess to my brother to deal with it alone. I am the first to disagree. I must stay to help him and clean his canteen!"
Whether it's making things out of nothing, making things up randomly, making excuses for no reason, and finally blaming others, Qin Luo is a professional.
Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong were beaten so hard by the brother and sister's combination of punches that they didn't know how to respond, and actually felt a trace of guilt in their hearts.
"Then let's... stay... for a while longer?"
Qin Luo slammed the table, stood up, and was so determined that he almost raised his right fist and swore: "Stay for two months! I will clean my brother's house until the last day of the holiday!"
Qin Huai:......
Very good. I hope you can finish wrapping the wontons and clean the table later.
Chapter completed!
