Next, it was time to knead the dough. Fu Xueyao turned the dough over and over with both hands.
Kneading dough is not an easy job.
Just knead it twice and the dumpling skin will be hard and unpalatable.
When kneading the dough, you need to use the bottom of your hands to exert force. This can not only reduce some effort but also knead the dough more evenly.
When Fu Xueyao was a blogger, in order to knead the dough better, she went to a specialized time-honored store to learn the skill of kneading the dough from the master.
Fu Xueyao didn't stop until it was kneaded into a softer dough.
She lightly wetted the basket cloth, covered the kneaded dough, and let it rest for thirty minutes.
During this period, Fu Xueyao was not idle and took out the pork that had just been placed in the refrigerator.
Put it under the running water and wash it with clean water, then put it on the cutting board and cut the meat into strips and then mince it into minced meat.
Compared with other fillings, Fu Xueyao still prefers pure pork filling. She feels that the taste of pure pork filling is more pure and delicious.
Then she put the minced meat into a large bowl, added the prepared seasoning and chopped green onions, and stirred together.
The onions are fragrant and the meat fillings are fragrant.
At this time, the dough has also woken up. When you open the wet drawer cloth, you will find a ball of white and soft dough.
After time, the surface of the dough has become as smooth as a disk and looks very nice.
Fu Xueyao took out the round dough and kneaded it into uniform strips of suitable size.
This will ensure that the size of the dumpling skins will not vary greatly.
Wait to roll out the dumpling skins one by one.
It’s time to make dumplings.
Making dumplings is the easiest thing.
For Xueyao, she could wrap ten bags a minute with her eyes closed.
Fu Xueyao finished wrapping 200 dumpling wrappers in a short time.
Seeing the chubby dumplings on the table, Fu Xueyao couldn't help but curl her lips.
She decided to eat steamed dumplings tomorrow morning! It’s time to make some dipping sauce.
Thinking of that taste, Fu Xueyao couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
For lunch, she planned to make spicy crab, braised fish and two other side dishes.
Fish and crab are both relatively time-consuming dishes.
The crabs need to be cleaned with a brush and fried.
Buying fish now is not as convenient as it was in later generations. The boss will not help you remove the fish scales, but will only kill them.
So you need to use a knife to scrape off the fish scales when you get home.
In addition, the time to cook braised fish is not short. Just like crab, it has to be fried and boiled.
Sure enough, if you want to eat good food, not only do you need to spend more money, but you also need to spend twice as much time.
Fu Xueyao bought a total of three fish from her old uncle, and she had already packed the other two fish and put them in the freezer of the refrigerator.
The disadvantage of cooking in the summer is that it’s too hot.
In order to reduce the heat, Fu Xueyao's hair was pulled to the highest point with her hands, not letting go of any broken hair, and she tied it into a high bun.
But in this way, it was only cooler in the first few dozen seconds, and after that it was still the same heat.
There is a coal fire burning in the kitchen, which is constantly emitting heat. In addition, the room is not very large, so the heat is accumulating.
Although the kitchen window was open, there was no wind blowing at the moment.
Beads of sweat broke out on Fu Xueyao's forehead as she was cooking in her kitchen.
The tip of his nose was also sweating.
My body also started to become sticky and very uncomfortable.
When a person is hot, his heart will become a lot more irritable.
In order to feel more comfortable, Fu Xueyao went to the bedroom and moved the electric fan to the door of the kitchen, blowing directly on her.
Feeling the coolness from the fan, Fu Xueyao felt that her heart was finally not so agitated.
Woohoo, when will she be able to get air conditioning?
Now Fu Xueyao misses the time when there was air conditioning.
Although air conditioners are now sold, they have not yet entered ordinary households. They usually only appear in some units and computer rooms.
After all, the voltage of the power grid is not particularly stable at this time, and ordinary households simply cannot bear it.
If you want to use an air conditioner, there is not only a problem with buying it, but also a bigger problem with the voltage. Not only do you need to ask the power bureau to expand the capacity, but you also have to replace the aluminum wires with copper wires.
Therefore, although there are refrigerators for sale in department stores, Fu Xueyao still can't see air conditioners.
It may be out of stock in the department store, or it may be in stock but someone bought it in advance.
Sure enough, the road is long and she still has a long way to make money.
She sighed silently for two seconds.
The spicy crabs simmered in the pot were almost cooked, and the sound of gurgling soup kept coming from the pot.
The pot was also steaming, and the alluring aroma spread from the kitchen.
The living room is filled with fragrance.
People who lived in the same building as Fu Xueyao were all attracted by this tempting fragrance.
Yang Chunhua, who lives next door, is no exception. She is also preparing lunch in the kitchen right now.
Suddenly a scent wafted into her kitchen. It was faint at first, and then became stronger.
She couldn't tell what the fragrance was, but she felt that there was a spicy smell in the air, which was refreshing.
It was now approaching noon, and she was already feeling hungry. The fragrant aroma of vegetables from somewhere made her stomach feel a lot emptyer. It was really annoying.
Yang Chunhua looked at the cut pork on the cutting board, and for a moment she lost her appetite for the next dish.
I bought this meat specially when I went to the market this morning. I haven't cooked meat at home for a few days.
I just want to make shredded pork with green pepper today so that everyone in the family can have a good meal.
She was still looking forward to it at first, after all, she could eat meat again, but now she was interrupted by the smell, and she felt that the green pepper shredded pork was nothing more than that.
It wasn't like she had never cooked it before, but it was the first time she smelled such a fragrant smell outside. She didn't know which restaurant was cooking it or what kind of food it was cooking.
It smells so fragrant and must taste delicious too.
But with so many people living in this building, she didn't know which restaurant was cooking.
You can't just go to the front door of each house and ask them what delicious food has been cooked.
Fu Xueyao opened the lid of the pot, and the steaming water vapor continued to rise. After a few seconds, Fu Xueyao saw the appearance of this pot of spicy crabs.
At this time, the soup in the pot has almost been drained.
After high-temperature cooking and soaking in seasoning sauce, each half of the crab is tender, golden, and the color looks very attractive. Just looking at the appearance makes people drool.
Fu Xueyao took out a plate from the cupboard and put the crabs on it. The remaining soup in the pot was not wasted, and every bit of it was poured on the crabs.
The alluring fragrance continued to float into Fu Xueyao's nose, making people salivate.
She couldn't help but take out a small bowl and take half of it for herself.
Although crab is a cold food, pregnant women are not unable to eat it.
Crab has a high protein content, and is also rich in vitamins, phosphorus, and calcium, and has high nutritional value.
As long as the crabs are cooked, pregnant women's gastrointestinal health is good, and eating them in moderation will not have any impact on their children.
