It looks like a kitten, but most of its body is hidden in the bushes, so only a small head can be seen. If you don't look carefully, you can see that it is moving, otherwise it is really a little scary.

A cat and a person not far away stayed there quietly like this, as if everything outside could be ignored, only the kitten quietly sucked the finger of the person in front of it, and at the same time tried hard to push its small bodyGet out from the bushes, so as to have a more intimate contact with this kind person who helped him.

Xu Yangyang hugged Wen Fan and stopped ten meters away from them, only the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella surface could be heard around him.

If she had continued walking home, she would have disturbed both the man and the cat.

Xu Yangyang didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't want to disturb such a peaceful scene, so he turned around and walked towards the gate of the community with Wen Fan in his arms.

Wen Fan, who was in her arms, also felt a little strange. He just wanted to ask his mother why they didn't walk over to go home with his father, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say a word, but stretched out his small arms to hug Xu Yangyang more obediently.Her neck and back were also arched, and her small chin rested on her shoulders, lowering her center of gravity so that her mother could hold her with less effort.

Xu Yangyang knew that Wen Fan was also curious, so he took the initiative to explain: "I just remembered that there seems to be nothing to eat at home. Now that the rain is a little lighter, let's go buy dumpling wrappers together and make dumplings when we go home at night.OK?"

"Wow, good!"

Hearing that dumplings are going to be eaten at night, Wen Fan immediately regained his spirits, and raised his little head from Xu Yangyang's shoulder: "Dumplings are delicious! I only ate them in kindergarten before, and I was so sad that I couldn't eat them."Take it home for dad to eat, now our family of three can eat together!"

Xu Yangyang didn't expect that ordinary dumplings would have such an important meaning in Little Fan's memory, and felt that he was even cuter for a while, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we can not only eat it together, but also cook it togetherWell. At that time, we can still compete to see who can make bigger, rounder, and tastier dumplings."

"Okay! Then Little Fan must strive to be the first!"

The two of them walked all the way laughing, and after they bought dumpling wrappers and vegetable pork at the vegetable market not far away, they came back, and then turned to the bakery, telling everyone that it was raining today, and there might not be any customers at night, so they closed the shop earlyForget it, everyone can take a good rest, tomorrow is a working day, and it must be another busy week.

The employees were naturally very happy to hear that they could leave work early, and they all said "thank you boss".

Xu Yangyang waved to them with a smile, and reminded everyone that the weather forecast said that the temperature will drop tomorrow, so you must remember to wear more clothes, and don't catch a cold.

By the time they left the shop again, the rain that had been falling had almost stopped, but there was still a large puddle on the road, and Wen Yijing, who was squatting in front of the unit building, brought the rain-soaked little tabby cat with him.Also disappeared.

Wen Fan was a little strange, he kept talking about why his father had suddenly disappeared, and after a while he asked himself whether his father had brought the little cat home.

Xu Yangyang recalled the warm scene of a man and a cat squatting there just now, and felt that he probably brought the kitten home.

Otherwise, such a small kitten was probably only a few months old, and it was raining again. It seems that the mother cat is not there. If it is really left outside like this, it may not survive tonight.

However, when they returned home, they found that Wen Yijing was the only creature in the house, and both of them guessed that the little thing that might be left behind was not there.

Xu Yangyang was still a little disappointed. On the way back just now, she was already thinking about whether to go out and buy some cat food and goat milk powder for kittens later, otherwise she didn't know what to feed such a small kitten.

Unexpectedly, it would save trouble now, but heart is empty, don't know what happened to the kitten.

At this time, Wen Yijing, who was covered in moisture, didn't notice what the two of them were thinking, but just stayed in the bathroom for a while, and when he came out, his hands were covered with a faint color, as if the paint hadn't been washed off.Same.

Xu Yangyang wanted to invite him to make dumplings together, but when he saw the color of his hands, he was a little strange: "What's wrong with your hands?"

He didn't expect Xu Yangyang to ask himself suddenly, but he just spread out his palm indifferently, with the palm facing up, so that she could see clearly: "I saw a kitten in the bushes downstairs just now, and it was stained with paint.I mixed a little water with a thermos cup to help wash it, but I didn’t expect it to run away suddenly because of the voice of the person coming downstairs before it was cleaned.”

Only then did Xu Yangyang realize that Wen Yijing didn't deliberately not keep the kitten, but the kitten was scared away.

Felines are naturally easily frightened, and I don’t know when it will be willing to come out after being frightened. I can only hope that the kitten can meet other kind people tonight, otherwise it will be really difficult to survive the rainwinter night.

However, it is also rare that there are stray kittens in this season.Most cats are in estrus in spring, and cubs are mainly born in spring and summer.

If the mother cat gave birth to cubs in winter, it is likely to be a domestic cat, but don’t know why the owner doesn’t want her cubs.

But the kitten will not be found for a while, and the most urgent task is to help Wen Yijing deal with the paint on his hand.

Xu Yangyang thought about it. When he was a volunteer in the orphanage, he also encountered many children who got paint on their little hands because of mischief, sometimes even on their faces, like a little cat.

Color pigments are difficult to remove with water alone, but it is much better with soap.

"Maybe, you can try using soap? If that doesn't work, I can find my makeup remover for you. It has a strong cleaning power and should be able to wash off the pigment."

"Um."

Wen Yijing nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, then turned and went into the bathroom.

After a few minutes, he came out again and showed his clean hands to Xu Yangyang who was kneading dough by the island: "The soap is very useful, thank you."

"it's okay."

Xu Yangyang smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the pork belly on the table: "If you have time, can you cut the meat for me? Just chop them up, it's very simple."

She shook her heavy arm: "I moved heavy things in the store yesterday, and now my arm hurts a little, and I can't cut meat with strength, so I'm going to trouble you."

In fact, it was just a muscle when moving things, and the shop assistants didn't let her move any more heavy things. Today is almost better, but when it rained just now, she forgot that her arms were not fully recovered, so she just movedHe picked up Wen Fan, and later brought back a big bag full of vegetables and meat. When he got home, he found that his arm was not right.

Wen Yijing can't be counted on for the technical work of kneading dough for the time being, but he can be troubled to do the work of chopping dumpling stuffing, which is also labor-intensive.

Wen Yijing was very easy to talk at the moment, he still nodded, and then picked up the knife.

Although the kitchen is said to belong to his family, he looks very unfamiliar with using knives, and he doesn't cook often at first glance. No wonder Wen Fan can't stop sighing every time he talks about his father's cooking skills.

Xu Yangyang saw that he was holding the knife in a dazed state, and he started chopping a whole piece of meat. He felt a little funny and helpless, so he had to remind him to put down the knife first.

Wen Yijing is a novice in the kitchen, but he is very obedient. Xu Yangyang will do whatever Xu Yangyang asks him to do.

He put down the kitchen knife in a daze, and looked at her inexplicably.That kind of knowledge-seeking eyes is exactly the same as that of Wen Fan.

Xu Yangyang stopped kneading the dough in his hands, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, took the meat knife in his hand, put the pork belly on the chopping board, cut it into small pieces one by one, and explained to him: "It's minced meat., You have to cut the meat into small pieces first, so that you can chop it into finer pieces later, which can get twice the result with half the effort. If you chop it hard, it will probably get twice the result with half the effort. Not only will it take a lot of effort and time, but the effect may not be so good."

As she said that, she stacked up the diced meat again, and chopped them up in order from left to right and front to back.

Until this side is finished, turn it over again, turn the lower layer of meat up, and continue chopping: "We will turn the meat over in a while, so that it can be chopped more evenly, otherwise, there will be some tendons.The meat is not easy to be chopped, so not only will it not be easy to wrap the stuffing later, but it will also be chewed by the tendons when eating."

When Xu Yangyang was demonstrating, Wen Yijing had been standing obediently and watching, his eyes never leaving the meat, looking serious as if he was about to take out a notebook to write notes.

However, his memory is better than Xu Yangyang's. Even if he didn't take notes, when he really got started, he understood all the essence of Xu Yangyang's previous demonstration process.

Although the movements are still a bit rusty, and occasionally some minced meat will splash out, his whole set of procedures is very professional, coupled with greater strength, the efficiency is also higher. Xu Yangyang just cut the vegetables here, and his sideThe meat has also been chopped.

With Wen Yijing's humanoid meat chopper, Xu Yangyang's work is much easier.

She found another large stainless steel basin from home that had not been used for a long time. After cleaning it carefully, she poured several kinds of vegetable and meat fillings into it, added a fresh egg, and sprinkled ginger powder on it., minced green onion, minced garlic, plus an appropriate amount of salt, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil, you can start the crazy stirring mode.

Xu Yangyang handed over the untechnical matter of stirring to Wen Yijing. She also thoughtfully helped him put on the plastic gloves, and tied the rubber band on his wrist to his hand.Time will not cause some unnecessary troubles due to plastic gloves slipping.

Xu Yangyang taught him to stir the dumpling stuffing in one direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise. The dumpling stuffing made in this way is more delicious.

Wen Yijing, who had been working in silence until now, heard Xu Yangyang's guidance, finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Why?"

Although he has lived in this house for many years, even after having Wen Fan, he seldom enters the kitchen except for instant noodles and hot milk every day, and he is even more concerned about this little cooking skill.Three do not know.

But it sounds interesting, don't know where Xu Yangyang learned it.

Xu Yangyang was actually curious about this question before, and asked the aunt who taught her how to mix stuffing, but the answer she got was that the aunt herself didn't know, it was the aunt's mother who taught her to do it.

But Xu Yangyang, who has a strong desire for knowledge and strong mobility, checked the information on the Internet at that time, and now he can naturally answer Wen Yijing's question: "Because stirring in one direction, not only can people exert their strength better, but also it is easier to lock the water.stay."

She didn't wear gloves on her hands, so she took a pair of chopsticks next to her as a demonstration.

"Look," Xu Yangyang inserted his chopsticks into the minced meat and stirred it clockwise and counterclockwise twice, "if you stir like this, the water inside will obviously start to run around, and the seasonings will also be mixed.It may not be able to stir well, so the dumpling stuffing will not stir well in one direction."

Wen Yijing observed the movement of the dumpling stuffing. Although he didn't see where the water was locked, he still nodded: "I see."

As he said that, he began to stir the stuffing without complaint.

And Xu Yangyang was not idle, took out the dough he had just woken up, cut them into three parts evenly, kneaded them into long strips, cut them into small pieces, arranged them neatly on the chopping board,Then he summoned Little Fan who had changed clothes in the room and came out quickly.

Hearing the sound, Wen Fan rushed out of the bedroom immediately. The buttons on the goose-yellow coat were not buttoned properly, but the zippers were pulled together loosely. At this moment, the little white fluffy sweater was showing inside.It seems that the whole person has a little casual British style, which makes him cool and handsome.

However, now is not the time to pay attention to any style. Xu Yangyang, an old mother who doesn't understand aesthetics, just wiped her hands clean, grabbed him, pulled his zipper that could barely reach his chest to the top, and then pulled the coatAll the small buttons on the top were buttoned tightly, and he almost had to put the little hat on again, for fear that Wen Fan might get a little bit of wind.

After all, when he came back just now, he might have caught a little cold from the cold wind. "Ah chirp" and "Ah chirp" sneezed twice in a row, but Xu Yangyang was taken aback.

During this period of time, she managed to put on Wen Fan a little fatter, and his face became more pleasingly fleshy. If he accidentally got sick and caught a cold, his small body was destined to lose weight again.It took a lot of effort.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Yangyang got home, he immediately pushed Wen Fan into his own small bedroom, and asked him to find two thicker clothes to put on, and then come out after making sure that it was not cold at all.

When he was sure that he had wrapped Wen Fan tightly, Xu Yangyang beckoned him to come over and roll the dumpling wrappers with him.

This is the unsolicited request made by Little Fan just now.

He had only seen a family get together to make dumplings on TV before, and he was very interested in rolling dumpling wrappers at that time, thinking that the round dough could become so thin in the hands of adultsIt's amazing how big it is.

After he talked to his mother, Xu Yangyang immediately proposed that Little Fan could also join in when it was time to roll out dumpling wrappers, and she would teach Little Fan how to roll out big and round dumpling wrappers.

The kid who is very curious about new things is of course also very interested in this matter, and he promised again and again, and he is also very active at the moment, for fear that his mother will not let him do it if he is suddenly unhappy.

Xu Yangyang first taught him to flatten the smooth little pills one by one, and then place them on a floured chopping board, so that the front and back sides of the little pills are covered with flour, and then use a rolling pin to roll out the small pills in circles.Unbalanced places on both sides of the pan until they are rolled out thin enough and large enough.

It's not the easiest way, but it's the easiest way to get started.

However, even the most basic method is quite difficult for a person like Wen Fan with small arms and short hands.

The main reason is that he doesn't have much strength to use the rolling pin. Just to reach the chopping board, he has to stand on tiptoes on a small stool. The strength of his whole body is almost used up when pressing the ingredients.

However, Xu Yangyang was not in a hurry to urge him, but instead encouraged him to be patient, and it would be done slowly.Even if he sees that he has scrapped a few medicines, he is not angry. He just rubs the crooked waste medicines again, cuts them open again, and a brand new medicine is born.

Finally, under Xu Yangyang's earnest encouragement, Wen Fan's first dumpling wrapper was completed.

Although it is not too thin, nor too round, strictly speaking, it is not even a serious dumpling wrapper, because it is rolled into an n-sided shape, but Xu Yangyang still placed it on the chopping board with great care.Wen Yijing was then asked to wrap the dumpling wrapper that his son had painstakingly rolled, making this precious dumpling a dumpling of extraordinary significance.

What Xu Yangyang didn't expect was that Wen Yijing could make dumplings, but the method was a bit rough.

He picked up the polygonal dumpling wrapper and put it in the palm of his hand, scooped some stuffing into it with a spoon, then clenched his hands, squeezing the dumpling wrapper tightly with the strength of both hands."Reading Novel Official Account: Jiuju Tweets"

Ugly is a bit ugly, but the efficiency is quite high, and one is done in a short time, and he is even a little eager to try.

Wen Yijing's eyes fell on Wen Fan who was humming and rolling out the dumpling wrappers again, and silently signaled him to hurry up with his eyes.

Wen Fan also wanted to hurry up, but the more his father urged him, the more anxious he became, and the more hesitant he became, either suddenly a big hole was made in the dumpling skin due to excessive force, or the hand was not strong enough to squeeze it together, and he accidentally threw it into the dumpling.The dose was torn.

Anyway, the situation is frequent, it takes an average of four to five minutes to make a dumpling skin, and the hard-rolled dumpling skin was finished in Wen Yijing's hands in only four or five seconds, he was so depressed that he was a little bit suffocatedI'm sorry, can't wait to change places with father, so that father can also experience the hard work of rolling dumpling skins.

However, obviously his father had his lessons learned from him, so he didn't have this idea at all, and he didn't plan to learn it. Even if he was bored, he didn't want to reach out to roll the dough.

Xu Yangyang, who was still watching the show, was really embarrassed, so he dried his hands on his apron and joined in the process of rolling the dumpling wrappers.

However, the method she used was different from what she taught Wen Fan just now.

In order to improve efficiency in a hurry, she first crushed each small dose in the palm of her hand, then covered their front and back with flour, put them in stacks of ten, and put her thumb against the center, and thenUse the other finger to continuously rotate in circles, while increasing the strength at the tiger's mouth.

In just ten seconds, ten dumpling wrappers were ready at the same time.

Now, not only Wen Fan's eyes widened in surprise, but even Wen Yijing's immobile face showed a trace of curiosity.

Xu Yangyang knew that Wen Fan wanted to learn this method, but there was no way, his little hands were too small to hold so many dumpling wrappers, and this method was extremely precise in controlling the strength, and he could grasp it naturally after practice makes perfectThat speed, but it is very difficult for a novice like Little Fan to practice.

Fortunately, Wen Fan didn't give up on the movements in his hands just because he saw his mother's amazing efficiency. He was still doing the work he should do seriously, without stopping at all.

Although still slow, but very persistent perseverance.

And because ten dumpling skins suddenly appeared at Wen Yijing's place, he felt like a poor man suddenly became rich, so he also wanted to make dumplings with two hands on a whim.

But when he put the dumpling wrappers in both hands, he discovered another problem, which made it impossible to put the stuffing in.

Seeing him staring blankly there, Xu Yangyang inexplicably felt a little cute in contrast.

Originally, she wanted to help him, as long as she added a little stuffing to the dumpling wrappers, she could easily solve this problem, but her eyes drifted to the ones that Wen Yijing had wrapped and placed on the chopping board just now, which were so ugly that both people and gods were indignant.Dumplings, I gave up my idea of helping others in an instant.

I really don’t know what’s going on with the father and son. Their appearance is exquisite and delicate, which is rare in the crowd, but the things they make are as ugly as the other, and they also have special personalities.Same dumplings.

But for the sake of their beginners, Xu Yangyang didn't say much, but quickly rolled out dozens of dumpling wrappers, leaving a dozen or so dumplings for Wen Fan to slowly roll out, and then continued to devote himself to making dumplings.cause.

Xu Yangyang has always been particularly interested in these foods, and has also learned many ways to make dumplings, such as lucky bag dumplings, crescent moon dumplings, willow leaf dumplings, wheat ear dumplings, etc., she has followed tutorials online,And have practiced several times, and almost never miss it.

In fact, although there are many kinds of dumplings, they are all dough and stuffing after all. There is no big difference in the taste, but it is just a festive and good-looking one.

But today, just in time for the bakery to open, she had an idea, thinking it would be a good omen for a prosperous business and a fortune, so she simply made Yuanbao dumplings.

The method of Yuanbao dumplings is actually very simple. After filling the filling, fold the two ends of the dumpling skin in half, and then fold the corners in, so that you can get a round belly Yuanbao dumpling.

Although the method is simple, it is a small crowd after all. It is rare to see it in restaurants outside. Of course, Wen Fan has never seen such a novel wrapping method.I was surprised that my mother would make such cute little dumplings.

Seeing how curious he was, Xu Yangyang simply waved to him and asked him to come over and make dumplings with him.

Wen Fan chuckled, put down the ugly stuff in his hands, put the small stool beside Xu Yangyang, and picked up a dumpling wrapper in a dignified manner, while watching his mother's movements, he carefully studied it.Holding the gadgets in his hands.

However, his hands are a little small. Not only did he struggle to close the dumplings, but he also accidentally crushed the dumpling wrappers when wrapping the dumplings.The flour was also brought to his hair and eyebrows, and when he felt uncomfortable and wanted to rub it, even his cheeks were covered with white flour.

Seeing that a dumpling hasn't been wrapped yet, Wen Fan has turned into a little cat stealing flour, but he doesn't know it yet, just seeing Xu Yangyang smiling at him, he thought his mother was laughing at his rubbish skills.

Xu Yangyang patiently taught him again from the beginning, but in the end he still failed due to lack of strength. Instead, Wen Yijing, who was studying secretly, made a barely-looking Yuanbao dumpling and placed it next to the dumpling that Xu Yangyang had just made.Stay away from the row of crooked melons and dates he just wrapped.

Wen Fan tried a few more times, but it still didn't work. He was really pissed off by his indescribable hand damage, so he simply ran back with the small bench and continued his business of rolling dumpling wrappers.

Although he had to admit that the dumpling wrappers he made were also ugly, but at least he succeeded. He would not work hard like making dumplings for a long time, but in the end it would be in vain, and a bunch of good dumpling wrappers were wasted.

In this way, with the joint efforts of the family of three, the delicious dumplings were finally cooked.

Although the ugly dumpling wrappers that Wen Fan rolled out and the ugly fat dumplings made by Wen Yijing, as expected, all of them showed their bellies like fat dolls.Yes, the division is clear, but fortunately, Xu Yangyang's Yuanbao dumplings survived, at least not tonight without a filling wrapped in a dumpling wrapper.

Xu Yangyang was fair when he divided the dumplings. He didn't eat all of them because of his good skills, but put a few individual dumpling wrappers and a few individual dumpling fillings in each person's bowl, as well as a fewThe intact Yuanbao dumplings ensure that the fruits of everyone's labor can be felt evenly.

The dumpling that was left out is actually good. At least the dumpling soup tonight was exceptionally delicious. It was full of aroma and meaty flavor. Everyone had a big bowl.

The three of them sat at the dining table, each holding a soup bowl bigger than their own faces, eating dumplings made by themselves, and drinking a mouthful of hot broth.

Well, it seems to be no different from those exquisite dumplings sold in restaurants, both of which can bring a touch of warmth to the heart in the cold winter.
