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 considered quite explosive in the Qin family. Friends who have watched Little Master of China must remember the golden ratio Shaomai cooked by Master Xie when he was playing in the 23rd episode. At that time, Qin Luo was still in kindergarten. There was a TV station that would show the Chinese Little Boss animation at 6 o'clock every night. Qin Luo squatted 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, she also went to the kindergarten to brag that her father could make the golden ratio siomai. This caused the kindergarten classmates to go back and ask their own fathers why they couldn't even cook golden ratio shaomai. This caused the kindergarten teacher to come directly to the parents and ask 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 ended here, but Qin Huai felt uneasy about his conscience. In his opinion, such a trivial crime was not worthy of being beaten. The main reason why Qin Luo was beaten was because of his previous criminal record. Out of compensation 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 peripheral items as 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. The sad Qin Luo found his cousin He Cheng, who was also a fan of Master Xie, and shared with him his journey of losing his idol. The two of them were sad together and hid in a corner of the park and emoticoned quietly. The family thought the child had been abducted by a trafficker, and they were so anxious that they almost called the police, but when they found the child, they beat him again. Seeing Qin Luo being 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, Sixi dumpling. 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! Qin Luo felt that he was capable again and 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. A must-eat during festivals and gatherings with family 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, if it hadn't been for the first two spanks, there wouldn't have been the 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, it was nothing for her sister to be beaten three times, wasn't it just a beating? She is strong-skinned and can withstand 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 and went, very rhythmic, tinkling like notes beating on the keys of a piano. Qin Luo was washing vegetables carefully, Zhao Rong was making egg skin, and the whole family was performing their duties in the kitchen in an orderly manner. After preparing the minced meat, Qin Huai started kneading the dough. There are three kinds of light in kneading dough: surface light, basin light, and hand light. Qin Huai learned this kneading skill by himself when he was a child in an orphanage. Qin Congwen often lamented that just from Qin Huai's kneading movements, it can be seen that 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 neatly. Beautiful, the final product is like a work of art, like a beloved disciple trained by a master who has worked hard for many years, and does not look like a wild child at all. A few years ago, Qin Congwen would help knead the dough, so that neighbors could get the surprise of opening a blind box when buying steamed buns. After Qinhuai graduated from university and returned home to sell breakfast full-time, this most important job in the breakfast shop was gradually handed over to Qinhuai. 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 were at their limit, cutting spinach stems, dicing carrots... She still had 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 doesn’t necessarily taste delicious, but it definitely looks good. Steaming it, taking a photo and posting it on WeChat will get a few rows of likes. In fact, it doesn't taste good. Qin Huai tried making Qin Luo for the first time and decisively gave 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 suits the public's taste. As for the restoration of the shape, Qin Huai chose to put a layer of pure decorative ingredients on the filling to play a role in the shape. It turns out that this is indeed a good method. The traditional dumpling fillings are decorated with four-color decorations of diced mushrooms, diced ham, spinach stalks and egg skins. It has a beautiful shape, bright colors, juicy fillings and chewy dumpling skins, plus chewy Qinluo beef. The way to eat peony, when Qin Luo ate it for the first time, he didn't even notice that the four-color pockets of Sixi Dumplings actually had the same fillings. She once thought that Qin Huai really took the trouble 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 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. Fresh Sixi dumplings are wrapped and placed in the freezer section of the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 7 days without losing flavor. In order to save trouble, Qin Huai usually packs enough for 5 to 7 days at one time, and can take it as he wants, and this time is no exception. It would also be good to give Chen Huihong more packs to take back for breakfast. Homemade snacks are perfect 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 barely 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 father and I discussed it at noon today. Your house is ready for occupancy, and you are determined to stay here in the future. The shop at home is closed for waste. The Pork King even sent a message this morning asking me if I secretly go to other places for meat. We’re here to buy some meat. 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, "Both 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. 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 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. There is bias. Qin Huai helps in the store on weekdays, and Qin Luo also has to help in the store. When Qin Huai was in high school, he had to take four remedial classes a week. Qin Luo, who had just started elementary school, also had to take four classes. The courses were not interesting enough to take in, including Mathematical Olympiad, reading, English, and Go. My mother’s thighs are crying and calling me, please, please be partial to my brother! 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 go to study abroad and suffer while his daughter studied and enjoyed happiness at home. In addition, Qin Congwen enrolled Qin Huai in a bunch of tutoring classes and forcefully gave him a supplementary education. Now that Qin Huai has returned from inheriting the inheritance, Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong may have started 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 8-digit inheritance for Qin Huai to inherit. Qin Huai followed their couple. Adoptive parents are really suffering. After sleeping for a while, I felt that the two of them and Qin Luo staying here were very similar to the adoptive parents who wanted to make money and their biological daughter trying to occupy the property of their adopted son. The warm family comedy instantly turned into a **** drama. In addition, the room was really 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 and looked a little hurt, "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. I was still worried about what to do if the canteen does not open smoothly this morning. You actually want to be the shopkeeper and walk away. I am the first to disagree with leaving such a big mess to my brother alone. I must stay to help him and clean his cafeteria!” Whether it's making things up out of nothing, making things up, making excuses for no reason, and ultimately 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'll finish wrapping the wontons and clean the table later. Take the oath, take the oath, hit the table, the flour will come out of the bowl, you know?
