"Lilac" has great organizational skills and is very competent as a class monitor. When the boy walked into the cafeteria dragging two sacks of vermicelli exchanged for rotten potatoes, she had already organized the whole class, rolled up her arms and sleeves, and was very busy.

It's full of enthusiasm and joy.

As the saying goes: "It's not as delicious as dumplings, nor as warm as a group."

Being able to eat the dumplings that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year, the students naturally worked very hard. I saw "Lilac" holding a kitchen knife in each hand and chopping up and down on the chopping board, and constantly turning the bottom.

Above. Zhan Zhizhan knows that this can make the meat filling fine and even, and he also has to chop it horizontally and then chop it vertically, so that the meat will be minced and even. Chop the meat filling with "lilac" edge

, while instructing "Anthracite" to knead the dough: "Hi! Who then...Wu Yanmei, you need to use warm water to knead the dough, put some salt in the water, and put a few eggs in it, and you have to use force to knead the dough..."

"Kneading the dough is a laborious job. How long will it last?" asked "Anthracite" who was kneading the dough.

"It will be ready when the surface of the dough is very smooth. 'Face light, basin light, hand light' is the best state for kneading the dough." "Every Monday Brother" Zhang Kaifeng added with a smile. "Lilac" dong dong

The continuous rhythmic sound of chopping meat, accompanied by the chirping laughter of female classmates, made the scene very lively.

It was Teacher Liu's turn to show off his skills in mixing the dumpling fillings. Teacher Liu put salt, monosodium glutamate, ginger powder, chopped green onion, Sichuan pepper powder, soy sauce, cooking wine, sesame oil and water into the minced meat filling.

, and then stir clockwise. After stirring evenly, Teacher Liu said: "It would be better if there is stock! Simmer the stuffing for half an hour, then the meat and ingredients will be fused together, it is delicious!"

"Brother Zhou Yi" is also very good at chopping vegetables. I saw her holding a kitchen knife in one hand, raising her left hand and lowering her right hand, flying up and down, "dong dong dong", chopping the cabbage until it was very thin.

Zhizhan thought to himself: "Although I have practiced "Liang's Sword Technique" and can chop meat like 'Lilac', my level of chopping cabbage is far inferior to 'Open Slit'."

After "Brother Zhouyi" chopped the cabbage, he squeezed out the water with gauze and put it into the meat. Finally, he tasted the taste, spit out the dumpling filling in his mouth, added some salt, and the dumpling filling was ready.

"Lilac" is really capable. At this time, she took out the cooked noodles, one from Zou'er and another from Zou'er, and skillfully pulled out the dumplings. The dumplings they pulled out were round and even, very beautiful.

"Bai Lieba" stood next to "Lilac" and made dumplings. "Lilac" grabbed one and she pressed one. It was flat and round, looking like a flying saucer. The female classmate was clever and made exquisite dumplings.

Chic. The male students were not to be outdone. They were not satisfied with the traditional dumpling shapes and tried to play with various tricks. Weird dumplings came out one after another, including sunflower, big ingot, wheat ear and other dumplings in different forms. At the same time, they also

It shows the differences in customs and habits in different places. The division of labor is clear and the orderly scene is full of fun. The floating flour and creative dumplings make the laughter spread among the students.

Suddenly, "Lilac" shouted: "Hey! Who is that! Are you rolling out dumpling wrappers or pancakes? When rolling with a rolling pin, pay attention to the thick middle and thin edges. The thick middle will prevent the dumpling filling from leaking, and the thin edges will taste better.

.Do you understand?”

"Brother Zhouyi" said: "Haha... I'm really sorry. If the dumpling wrappers I rolled out turn out to be broken, I will eat them. But the soup after cooking the broken dumplings has the most delicious taste. I

You must drink three big bowls of it."

"The original soup is the original food. One bowl is enough. Why drink so much..." "Lilac" said, and when she saw the dumplings made by "Bai Lieba", she shouted: "Hi! An Qi, why are you drinking so much..."

With your current technique of making dumplings, don’t put too much filling. First pinch the center, then pinch both sides, and then squeeze the edges of the dumpling skin from the center to both sides, so that the soup will not leak out when the dumplings are cooked."

The students neatly stacked the wrapped dumplings on the curtain. When the water in a large iron pot boiled, "Lilac" put the dumplings in and stirred them clockwise to prevent the dumplings from sticking together or sticking together in the water.

On the bottom of the pot. When the fat dumplings floated on the water, the students began to cheer and fish for the dumplings.

Platefuls of steaming dumplings were served. The students, holding bowls and spoons, rushed to taste the dumplings made by themselves and taste the fruits of their labor. Each one showed a sweet smile and felt the joy of youth and the warmth of the collective.

.

The students in a foreign land felt the warmth and fun of the group during the process of making dumplings with clear division of labor and close cooperation, which enhanced the cohesion and integration of the class and deepened the feelings between the students. Although Zhan Zhizhan and "

"Condoms" and other classmates were so cold that they almost went crazy on the way to deliver rotten potatoes, but looking at the overjoyed classmates, I felt that my hard work was worth the joy of the classmates. I felt that "do it yourself, have enough food and clothing"

”, pain is transformed into joyful pleasure.

After eating the dumplings, the life committee member "Anthracite" gave the remaining dumplings to the classmates, and the classmates gradually dispersed.

"Hey! Lao Zhan, why are you still eating? Don't starve to death!" "Here we are doing it" asked in surprise, holding the rice bowl and staring at the rat eyes.

"Don't stand and talk without your back hurting! After a day's work, I'm exhausted, and I haven't eaten enough yet. Come on, let's sit with my buddies for a while." Zhan Zhizhan looked at the ten pieces left in the basin.

A few dumplings, burping with dissatisfaction.

"Working on it" shook his big round head and said: "Oh... I'm almost exhausted..."

"Get out of here! Get out of here! Go back and get reincarnated as soon as possible." Zhan Zhizhan waved his hand impatiently and spoke the local dialect he had just learned.

"Hey... Zhan Zhizhan, don't leave! You and Kai Feng help me clean up the cafeteria..." "Anthracite" suddenly shouted.

"I'm doing it" laughed so hard that his little eyes disappeared: "Look! It's not that my brother won't accompany you, it's actually that you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. It's inconvenient for my brother to be an eyesore in this place. Hehe... I'll go! Why is this?

It's never my turn to do good things?" At this point, "Doing it" struck another pose, shook his big head and sang a few sample lines sung by the detective hero Yang Zirong after receiving the mission in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"

singing: "Knowing that there are difficulties and dangers on the journey, the more difficult and dangerous the journey, the farther forward..."

"Anthracite" chuckled: "That's right! Whoever makes him the 'Flower Protector', he has to take care of girls' affairs..."

Zhan Zhizhan was also so amused by "It's happening" that he could no longer keep a straight face. He laughed loudly and cursed: "Get out of here! Get out of here! I don't have time to sit here and listen to your nonsense!"

Finish your work early so I can go back to sleep!"

While we were eating a meal of dumplings, it started to snow heavily. This was the first heavy snowfall in the port this year. Snowflakes all over the sky fell on people, and the cold wind cut their faces like knives. Zhan Zhizhan and "Anthracite" shoulder

Shoulders shoulder to shoulder, necks hunched, they were talking and laughing all the way to the dormitory. On the tree-lined path from the cafeteria to the dormitory building, from time to time you can see fourteen-year-olds and fifteen-year-olds having snowball fights and skating. These half-year-olds

The younger ones are all the children of the teacher who lives in the school. They are so happy at this age and so smart. I am jealous. Most of the teenagers in this age group don’t know how to write the word “shou”.

Winter in the port comes early, it is very cold, and the dripping water turns to ice. It is simply terrifying. Sometimes a heavy snowfall can last for three days and three nights. The harsh climate in the port has indirectly caused the people in the port to like drinking. The people in the port are in such a cold weather

During the season, people often stay indoors with a stove, a pot of wine, and a plate of peanuts, and have fun. This is the fun of "Cat Winter" for the people in the Northeast.

The boulevard has lost its former intoxicating look, and even the wide lawn known as the "green carpet" beside the boulevard is now covered with snow. The once lovely hedges or the green walls formed by carefully trimmed elms have been replaced by dead branches.

Instead, the only green that can be seen is the lone pine tree struggling in the wind and snow. What's terrible is that a ditch was dug next to the tree-lined road, and the residual soil covered with snow was piled everywhere, making you feel like you are walking all over the ground.

Qian also lowered his head, trembling with fear, walking around cautiously, fearing that his feet would slip accidentally and fall into the ditch. Zhan Zhizhan and "Anthracite" were no exception, and they had to help each other out from time to time.

According to Teacher Liu, this is because as the number of students eating in the cafeteria increases, the capacity of the original drainage pipes is not enough, and it is necessary to replace them with larger-diameter drainage pipes. People say that state-owned units are bad and have poor efficiency, and workers are exhausted.

Although the wages could not be paid, the leaders still ate and drank a lot, bought cars and built houses. How could the construction costs not be high? Therefore, the school held many meetings to study, and the leaders used their brains to "work hard and frugally for the revolution."

In order to save limited funds, we did not entrust the construction of the state-owned drainage department, but hired a construction team composed of farmer brothers. For several days, the students have been able to see some simple farmer brothers holding primitive shovels.

Pickaxes, sweating profusely, digging desperately into the soil they were once familiar with.

From the late 1970s to the early days of reform and opening up in the 1980s, the per capita living standards in Chinese cities gradually began to improve, and the government began to vigorously promote the construction of urban infrastructure, which made the construction market boom. The original mud houses became more and more popular.

There are few, and they are replaced by brand-new brick and tile houses. When someone builds a house, someone spontaneously organizes a construction team. The wisdom of the Chinese people is infinite. Many farmers cannot feed their families on just one-third of an acre of land.

Putting down the hoe, he quickly picked up bricks and tiles, learned a skill in a very short period of time, and joined the construction team. In modern terms, he was a "migrant worker."

Suddenly, under the dim light opposite, three dark figures, one short and two tall, appeared. The short figure was obviously a girl. As she walked, she said to the two boys: "It's eight or nine o'clock. What's wrong? It's eight or nine o'clock. Stay with me."
