Chapter 77 (2/2)
”All right.” Eric still failed to withstand the pressure in Li Zitao's eyes.
”I can't cure you, little one.” Proud to pull Norma to the table, two big two small began to prepare dinner.
When he saw the dumplings made by Norma and Eric, he couldn't even squeeze the skin tightly. Li Zitao began to teach him by hand.
”No, no, just squeeze it hard, like this.” The two ends of dumplings are pinched in Hukou with both hands, and the thumbs and index fingers of both hands are clasped tightly. When it is released, a dumpling is pinched into shape.
The top is a beautiful fold corner, the bottom of the skin is filled with dumpling stuffing, thin but not rotten, looks like a small crystal.
Although the step-by-step demonstration has been repeated many times, Norma and Eric still can't learn.
Li Zitao can only attribute this to the fact that Westerners are not naturally suitable for dumpling making, so they can use another method.
”From left to right, it's very tight.” Li Zitao holds dumplings in one hand, and pinches the dumpling skin with his thumb and index finger from left to right.
The finished dumpling is like a crescent moon. Looking at the small crescent moon in hand, Norma's beautiful eyes smile into a crescent moon.
Eric lowered his head seriously, clumsily but studied hard. His serious appearance was like completing a rigorous scientific experiment.
”It's finished.” After clapping his hands, Li Zitao stretched his waist and said with a smile, ”brother dog, I'll give it to you. I'll change my clothes first.”
”Go ahead. It's all in your room.” Wang Dagou set the pot on the gas stove and lit the water with a match.
”You two, wash your hands and clean up the table.” Li said, pointing to the peeling table in the living room.
”Yes.” Norma was happy to be able to help.
Upstairs back to the room, a new set of Tang clothes on the bed, neatly folded square.
Most of Li Zitao's clothes are prepared by Lao Huang. Naturally, he can't get his size wrong. His clothes fit him very well.
I don't know if it is the effect of his heart. He just changed his clothes, but he felt a sense of belonging that made him feel at ease Very good. ”
Li Zi Tao reached out his hand and touched the silk and satin material and walked downstairs with a bright smile.
”Tao Zi, adjust the dip.” Wang Dagou pointed to the bottles and jars on the table, turned his head and poured a ladle of cold water into the pot.
After the tea table had been cleaned up, Li Zitao brought the bottles, jars and small bowls: ”do you need them? Some dip. ”
”What are these?” Looking at the white or black liquid in the bottle, as well as the red, pungent smell of oil splashing hot, Eric was full of curiosity.
”Vinegar, like lemon juice, soy sauce, very delicious dip, hot pepper, very spicy, very delicious.” Li Zitao's mouth slightly cocked, said and dug a spoon into the bowl.
”May I?” Norma held the small bowl in her hands and looked at him timidly.
”Of course, can I help you?” Li Zitao raised the vinegar bottle and said with a smile.
”Yes.” Norma nodded her head in a hurry.
After pouring some vinegar and soy sauce, Li Zitao thought about it and added some white water to it. He was afraid that the taste was too strong to bear.
”Try it.” Li Zitao hands the bowl to Norma.
Li Zitao swears that he just wants Norma to taste it with chopsticks, but he forgets that Norma and Eric can't use chopsticks at all.
So little Norma took the bowl and looked at the liquid in it in a tangled way. Finally, with her eyes closed, she did it cleanly
”Gudong ~ ~ cough, cough...” Norma choked on spicy noodles, covering her throat and coughing in pain.
”Come on, drink water.” Li Zitao couldn't help but put the cup to her mouth. Norma drank the water clean.
Next to Eric, palpitating along his saliva, quietly moved aside, for fear that Li Zitao would let him drink those terrible ”magic drugs.”
”What's the matter? What's the matter?” Wang Dagou came with the dumplings.
”I gave her a taste of the dip, and the little girl dried up.” Li Zitao said with a bitter smile.
”Ha ha, it's OK. When I finished eating dumplings during the Spring Festival as a child, I had to use the dumpling soup to wash and drink the dipping material. At that time, the seasoning was not easy to eat.”
Wang Dagou's eyes recalled the words, and recalled the things when he was a child. At that time, his parents were still there, and his grandparents lived in the next village.
It was a hard time at that time. Wang Dagou remembers that before he was 14 years old, he didn't wear his pants. He was covered in a tattered coat and ran around the village barefoot every day.No one is surprised. Most of the dolls in the village are the same from childhood. It would be nice to have a coat covering the body.
There are seven or eight people in some families who don't even have a coat. They just have a suit of clothes. Whoever goes out will wear them, and they will be naked at home.
When he was older, his father's trousers were too worn. His mother bought coarse cloth with two copper coins she had saved at home, and made a new pair of trousers for Dad.
The new trousers are so beautiful that he dare not sit down casually because he is afraid that the material will be worn dirty. He shows off everywhere every day and praises his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship every day.
The old trousers were changed. The holes were patched with the cloth cut from the trousers legs and the leftovers of coarse cloth, and two pieces of sheepskin were nailed to the buttocks to become his trousers.
Although the life is very hard, only once a year to see oil and water, usually also occasionally hungry, Wang Dagou felt that it was the happiest time of his life.
Unfortunately, the war on dog day destroyed all these things. My father, my mother and the village were gone.
When I was a child, the river where I touched shrimp and caught fish was full of blood, and the corpses piled up like a hill. It was a fire, Hua
”That's it.” Sitting at the table, Wang Dagou is very happy.
Li Zitao looked at him in silence and didn't understand why he would smile happily. Isn't it miserable enough?
Only Wang Dagou knew that if his parents were still alive, he would be better off living than dying in those years.
Some experiences when the story to listen to, simply can not understand that helpless sense of despair, like a black hole, day and night devour the human heart, tear heart crack lung to empty numbness.
