It was noon before I knew it.

At this time, with the efforts of Wang Ma, Grandma Wang and Wang Zhen, two beats of dumplings had been made.

The beat is the name of the pot lid in the north.

Generally speaking, they are made of sorghum stems on the top and are sewn with needles and thread.

There are two kinds of round shapes.

A normal circle with smooth and non-porous surface.

A normal circle with reserved holes in the middle.

In addition to serving as a lid of the pot, the former is often used as a container for making dumplings.

The latter is a container for steamed buns, which is matched with the pot lid.

Pot lids are also very common.

It is a round pot-like utensil made of a beat as a top and woven with thatch rope along a circle.

As the saying goes: raw is steamed, and cooked is slippery.

These two things are the most common things in rural areas in the north.

The steamed buns you eat every day depend on it to heat them. You don’t have to worry about being hot. If you have used them for several years, you don’t have to worry about using them.

"Go, my father, Liangzi, you guys go and cook dumplings, we'll make some more money."

While wrapping, Wang's mother saw that it was twelve o'clock and immediately kicked Wang's father sitting next to her reading.

"Okay, go now."

When Wang Dad saw Wang's mother's words, he quickly put down the book in his hand and called Wang Liang to the stove room.

See this.

Wang Zhen, mother and grandma continued to make a purchase.

Because eating dumplings in the north is not just a meal, but a day or two.

One beat of dumplings is almost enough for a family to have a meal, and two days add up to at least five or six beats.

Therefore, they are still busy in the afternoon.

However, this is all afternoon.

Because of the blink of an eye, Wang Dad and Wang Liang had already cooked the dumplings and brought them up.

"Come on, let's eat dumplings first."

Dad Wang brought the cooked dumplings in front of Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang, and said hello to everyone.

"Come on, mom, brother, eat dumplings."

Wang Liang then came, and handed it to Wang Ma and Wang Zhen.

"Thank you brother!"

After Wang Zhen took it, he couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in his mouth without even washing his hands.

"Suck, suck"...

"So hot, so fragrant!"

Wang Zhen exclaimed in surprise after being scalded, and he was reluctant to spit out the dumplings. While chewing, he went outside the door to wash his hands.

Eat dumplings.

Many places like to dip vinegar or dip sauce.

However, in Luojiawan, there is no such habit.

They prefer the taste of the dumplings themselves, and the comfort of having a few sips of the clear soup that can cook the dumplings after eating.

Don't worry about it being delicious.

Because in the whole of China, undesirable foods have long been eliminated from human recipes.

on the contrary.

Such dumplings are generally better.

I can only say that I like differently, but the way to eat is different.

"Dad, did you sacrifice to heaven first?"

As soon as Wang Zhen came back from washing his hands, he heard Wang's mother's inquiry.

This is a local custom.

Generally speaking, before eating dumplings, I would make a bowl of sacrifice to heaven and let God eat it first.

It is not said that feudal superstition is just a sustenance and faith.

"Don't worry, I'll pay homage to God as soon as I've finished cooking. I won't forget this rule."

Hearing Wang Ma’s words, Wang Dad promised.

"Well, since you have finished offering sacrifices to God, let's start eating too. To be honest, I haven't eaten shepherd's purse dumplings for a long time."

Hearing Dad Wang's words, Grandma Wang said and started eating immediately.

"Baji,Baji"...

With the sound of crunching, a dumpling entered everyone's mouth.

"Sure enough, shepherd's purse dumplings are delicious, sweet and delicious!"

"Not bad, not bad, really delicious."

"It's really fragrant"...

After eating a dumpling, the Wang family sighed and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

As for Wang Zhen, he was only concerned about eating, and there was time to sigh. He expressed his love for shepherd's purse dumplings with his practical actions of eating two bowls.

Eat and drink enough.

Dad Wang and Wang Liang were responsible for washing dishes, while Dad Wang, Wang Mom, and Grandma Wang were responsible for continuing to make dumplings.

This pack lasts for two or three hours.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the dumpling fillings were finally wrapped, and the Wang family harvested a full four beats of dumplings.

"Enough, one meal tonight and two meals tomorrow, it's enough."

After the dumplings were wrapped, Wang Ma nodded with satisfaction and asked Wang Zhen to rest, but she began to clean up the mess.

He suddenly became idle. To be honest, Wang Zhen was really a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he decided to walk along the river.

So, after he said to Wang Ma and Dad, he came to the river and started a walk slowly.

When you see, there are green wheat, clear river water and sponges in the river, as well as some aquatic plants that will not wither.

In addition, there are many small fish.

Winter in the north is the season for fish to lay eggs and hatch.

This season, there are the most fish.

When he was a child, Wang Zhen would often go down the net to catch some, take it home and mix it with noodles and fry it. The fragrance is intoxicating just by thinking about it.

"Hehe, I don't know if there are many fish in the river!"

Thinking of the little fish, Wang Zhen, who was greedy, smiled and came to the water with a smirk, put his hand in the water, closed his eyes, and began to sense it.

This is a new ability that Wang Zhen discovered about water system superpowers. The function is to transform the originally human vision into water.

That is to say.

When Wang Zhen uses this ability, water is equivalent to his eyes.

Although the range is only three meters.

However, it is enough.

Wang Zhen was a little uncomfortable at first when his vision was transformed into the water, which made the scene he saw a little unclear.

However, as he adapted, the picture suddenly became clear.

It's a huge underwater world.

In a deep groove, a piece of seaweed grew sparsely in the middle.

There are sponges, snails, river clams, and small fish.

There are also big fish, not in the middle of the water, but under the aquatic plants beside the water.

It is not big, only about ten centimeters, and it is basically common crucian carp.

This is a common species of fish in the river.

In addition, there are common river fish such as catfish, yellow bone fish, loach, eel, eye drops, etc.
