Chapter 294 Leek Dumpling Soup
Chapter 294 Leek Dumpling Soup
I was afraid that if I couldn’t see her anymore, Mu’er would do something dangerous.
So Lu Chuan took Mu'er away and dug the tree roots while watching Mu'er, which didn't delay anything.
As long as he could make sure that Mu'er was within his sight and that she wasn't doing anything dangerous, Lu Chuan would feel at ease letting him play by himself.
After all, Mu'er has Fantuan with him. If he really encounters any danger, Fantuan will definitely be the first to sound the alarm.
Later on, whenever Xu Han was too busy, Lu Chuan would take Mu'er with him when he went out to work and look after him himself.
As time went by, Mu'er became a wild child raised in the mountains. The originally fair and chubby little baby gradually became much darker due to being exposed to the sun every day.
After Mu'er had eaten, he was put on the small bed beside him, and then Xu Han pushed the small bed to the kitchen.
It's time to make lunch again. I have been busy growing vegetable seedlings all morning and have not prepared the side dishes needed for cooking in advance.
It’s too late to prepare now, so Xu Han thought about making a simpler meal for lunch today.
Xu Han scanned the space and found that making noodles was the easiest. But noodles were eaten so often, whether it was vegetable noodles or meat noodles, that they were no longer fresh.
With a glance, Xu Han saw the cleaned leeks on the side, and she thought about making some leek dumplings to eat today.
This is also a home-cooked dish. Xu Han’s mother often cooked it in her previous life, but I have never eaten it here.
The more Xu Han thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible. It was very simple to make and very delicious.
So he took out a handful of cleaned leeks from the space, and also picked up some chives and tomatoes.
Wash all the ingredients, cut the tomatoes into large pieces and put them in a bowl for later use.
Then chop the chives and onions into small pieces and put them into a large bowl. Then add three or four eggs, some salt, chicken essence and other seasonings into the bowl.
After stirring the eggs in the large bowl evenly, add appropriate amount of flour in several times and continue stirring.
You can add an appropriate amount of water according to the size of the eggs, or you can use the eggs directly without adding water.
Xu Han thought that Lu Chuan and the others were doing physical work, so she added some water to it so that she could put more flour in.
Of course, there can’t be too much flour, otherwise the chives will be very hard and not delicious.
Once the chives are blended into a paste that is thicker than yogurt and has the consistency to make small meatballs, you can set it aside.
After preparation, heat oil in a pan, put tomatoes into the pan and stir-fry to make tomato sauce, then add appropriate amount of water into the pan.
Today Xu Han planned to let the dogs eat leeks as well, so she added a big pot of water.
After the fire boiled, Xu Han placed a basin of clean water on the side so that she could use it to squeeze the leeks later.
With your hands wet, put the leeks into the pot one by one like making meatballs.
You can also use a spoon dipped in water to scoop it out and put it into the pot, but Xu Han did it better today, so it would be faster to use your hands.
While the fire is burning, squeeze the chives. The chives will take shape quickly in the pot and will not stick together. Each grain will be distinct.
After all the leeks are put into the pot, cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat and cook.
Add some wild amaranth when serving. It is especially delicious when eaten as a green vegetable.
Just as Xu Han closed the lid, Mu'er ran in from outside.
"Mom, Mu'er is hungry~" Mu'er said breathlessly while running.
"The food will be ready soon. Is Dad back?" Xu Han said.
"Daddy is behind~" Mu'er answered obediently.
"Then go find daddy and wash your hands, and you'll be able to eat soon." Xu Han said as he poured a glass of water and handed it to Mu'er.
Mu'er took the water and drank it in big gulps. After finishing it, she ran out again.
After Lu Chuan and the others washed their hands, Xu Han had just finished preparing lunch.
Today's timing is just right, I can just go home and have dinner.
"Come here and serve the food. You haven't eaten the food I made today." Xu Han shouted outside with a smile.
"Here you are. What delicious food did my wife make today?" Lu Chuan asked enthusiastically when he heard about the meal he had never eaten before.
"Let's taste the chives and see if they are delicious."
After Xu Han finished speaking, she pushed the crib into the main room. After putting Ze'er there, she returned to the kitchen to serve the meal.
"This looks like it will suit my teeth." Grandpa Zhao said as he served the meal.
"Yes, it's very soft and fluffy." Xu Han said, then turned around and got some pickled vegetables to eat with the leeks.
"Not bad, not bad. This is very similar to the dumpling soup, but different and delicious." Lu Chuan said while eating leek dumplings.
"There are also steamed buns and pickles here. If you don't feel full with just the leeks, you can have some steamed buns." Xu Han said as he brought out the steamed buns.
"Mom, want more soup." Mu'er said, holding the small bowl she had just finished eating.
"Okay, mother will give you more rice. Isn't today's ketchup delicious? It's sour and sweet. If you like it, drink more." Xu Han said as she served the rice.
"It tastes good. Mu'er, you should eat more and grow taller."
"Hahaha, look at this little greedy cat." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.
"Today, when I was outside, I wanted to go home for dinner before noon, saying that my mother must have prepared delicious food at home." Lu Chuan also joked.
"Do you like the food mother cooked today?" Xu Han asked.
"Everything mom cooks is delicious." Mu'er said with a chuckle.
"Just like your mother, a flatterer." Grandpa Zhao laughed.
Everyone laughed when they heard Grandpa Zhao say this.
Xu Han mixed the leftover leek soup with black flour and fed it to the dogs at home. It was rare for the dogs to eat so well today.
The lunch ended in laughter and joy. After the meal, Lu Chuan continued to dig tree roots.
After more than a month of hard work, the hillside outside is finally almost cleared.
Dig up all the tree roots today, and level them with a hoe tomorrow, picking up the remaining tree roots. Then you can dig holes and prepare to plant trees.
However, the fruit tree seedlings have not been delivered yet, and I don’t know what the situation is at Yunhua. Have they bought any fruit trees?
Logically speaking, it has been more than a month since Yunhua's letter was sent, and the saplings should have arrived by now, but there has been no news since the last letter.
Spring is coming soon, so don’t delay in planting fruit trees.
