Chapter 11 Egg Drop Congee and Dumplings
Chapter 11 Egg Drop Congee and Dumplings
For breakfast, Nian Qibai prepares egg porridge.
The washed japonica rice is thrown up and down with the boiling water in the casserole. After the japonica rice has bloomed and becomes sticky and attractive, quickly pour the beaten egg liquid into the pot, stir it quickly with a spoon to form egg flowers, and season it again Light the sesame oil, and a bowl of golden-looking egg drop porridge is out of the oven.
The taste of egg porridge is very mild, and it is most suitable for drinking in winter when it is hot. One bite will warm the body and mind.
It was the first time for Tang Zhi to have breakfast with Nian Qibai. He wanted to say it when he was eating hot pot yesterday. Nian Qibai eats very nicely, slowly and elegantly.
At this time, he seemed to have returned to his status as a nutritionist, with a humble and polite gesture.
After breakfast, the two went out to buy a bunch of things. Nian Qibai hadn't come home for a long time, and there were many things missing at home, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so there were already many things to buy, let alone Tang Zhi's leaving The time was too hasty, and I didn't have time to bring anything except a set of clothes.
Fortunately, the two went straight to the mall. Tang Zhi picked out a classic black and white match and wanted to check out and leave, but Nian Qibai pulled him to put a big red coat on his body.
The coat looked huge, and it was full of fluffy and soft down, which looked surprisingly good on Tang Zhi.
The festive bright red instantly made the young man's pale skin look a bit bloody. Nian Qibai looked at Tang Zhi with satisfaction, and picked up several more clothes in one breath. Looking at the posture, Tang Zhi even suspected that he was It’s not about emptying out the entire store of clothes.
After asking the clerk to deliver the bought clothes home, Nian Qibai suddenly lowered his head and approached, "Go to a movie?"
The man's deep voice was close at hand, and he obviously hadn't touched it, but Tang Zhi felt as if his ear had been bitten lightly by the other party. The force was not heavy, but it made him shudder.
Since when did he get used to Nian Qibai's occasional touch?
The cold hand was suddenly wrapped by the other's warm palm, and Nian Qibai flicked Tang Zhi's forehead lightly, "Why are you in a daze? Let's go."
"The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" was released several years ago, and it was basically impossible to find it in big theaters, so Nian Qi took Tang Zhi to a private theater.
It doesn't feel good to be the only one in front of the large screen. Tang Zhi is half lying comfortably on the seat and holding a huge bucket of buttered popcorn in his arms. The sweet creamy taste fills the tip of his tongue.
Popcorn is such an annoying little fairy. After eating one, you can’t stop your mouth. The sound of crunching pops in the mouth, mixed with the aroma of cream, and it becomes the best among snacks.
Unknowingly, halfway through the movie, Tang Zhi secretly turned his head and took a look at Nian Qibai. The other party was fascinated by it, and the tiny light and shadow reflected on the screen flickered in his eyes.
"Boom!"
The heart suddenly jumped violently in disobedience, Tang Zhi's breathing stagnated, and the temperature on his face rose rapidly.
"what happened?"
With his left hand held, Nian Qibai's face suddenly became a little unreal in the dark room, Tang Zhi shook his head, and stuffed a few popcorns into his mouth to pretend nothing had happened.
At the end of the movie, everything came to light, the screen suddenly went dark, and there was only a soft female voice singing incomprehensible lyrics in the room.
"The movie was great."
"Although the hero and heroine are still not together, it's not a tragedy." Tang Zhi ate the last popcorn, "Go home, I'm hungry."
On the way back, Nian Qibai suddenly said that he wanted to teach Tang Zhi how to make dumplings, so the two of them went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of stuffing and flour for dumpling stuffing.
When I got home, the pointer on the wall just pointed to the direction of Si, Nian Qibai put on an apron and began to prepare dumpling stuffing, while Tang Zhi moved a small stool and sat obediently by the counter to watch Nian Qibai's every move.
Today they plan to make dumplings with two flavors, the classic stuffed pork with cabbage and the stuffed leek and shrimp.
Pork Nian Qibai chooses fat and lean pork belly, and a piece of lean meat is added. The ratio of lean meat to fat meat is six to four, so that the taste will be better.
Then chop the meat into stuffing and mix it with the finely chopped cabbage in advance, add shallots and seasonings, then pour the pre-heated oil into the stuffing, and then stir it quickly with chopsticks until it becomes thick. Finally, put a little sesame oil to enhance the fragrance.
Compared with cabbage and pork stuffing, the method of leek and shrimp stuffing is much simpler.
Shrimp is put in whole, with leek foam, egg white and an egg yolk. When seasoning, Nian Qibai does not use soy sauce, just sprinkle salt and monosodium glutamate with sesame oil, and then stir quickly.
"Okay, let me pack one for you to demonstrate."
The most anticipated moment is coming, Tang Zhi quickly sat up straight and stared at the movements of Nian Qibai's hands.
Nian Qibai prepared a small bowl of water, put stuffing on the dumpling wrappers, lightly dipped his index finger in a little water and wiped half a circle around the edge of the dumpling wrappers, then closed from the middle, just a little, a beautiful big belly The dumpling stands in the palm of the hand, and its shape is curved like a crescent moon. It looks very pleasing to look at.
"Do you understand?"
Tang Zhi nodded, carefully imitating Nian Qibai's movement just now. His speed was relatively slow, and it took him a long time to squeeze out one. It was also a crescent moon, but it was obviously not as plump as the one in Nian Qibai's hand.
"Is there too little stuffing?" Tang Zhi looked at the little skinny man in his hand and looked at the big-bellied dumplings lying on the chopping board. Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison. I guess it's all in one bite. The dumpling skins are gone.
"Don't worry, it's already wrapped well, and you can get proficient with a few more practices." Nian Qibai was rolling out the dumpling wrappers, and poked Tang Zhi's cheek, leaving a mark on the other's clean right cheek. A clearly visible white spot.
The feeling of wet flour hanging on his face was not very good. Seeing that Nian Qibai worked so hard to prepare the materials, Tang Zhi decided not to argue with him, took a new dumpling wrapper and continued to improve his skills.
When Nian Qibai rolled out all the dumpling wrappers, the dumplings made by Tangzhi finally became the kind of beautiful big-bellied dumplings, neatly arranged one by one, white and fat, with a naive appearance.
