Chapter 34 Sister, this hard shell is really delicious
"Are there new bowls to use? Great! Let's go wash them!" Li Zhengde was so happy that the three children touched the new bowls and chopsticks as if they had seen some rare treasures, stroking them over and over again.
"Be careful, don't fall." Li Mingxia looked at the three people who were extremely surprised, smiled and shook his head.
It wasn't because I felt bad about the dishes falling, but because I was afraid of hurting the three children.
"Mom! I'm almost done. Are the dumplings out of the pot?" Li Mingxia asked loudly.
Zhang was scooping up dumplings and quickly agreed, "Okay, okay!"
Li Mingxia set the table and placed the oysters and crayfish with dip on the table, then turned around to help Zhang serve the dumplings.
"I was thinking of sending a bowl of sweet potatoes to your Aunt Cheng and Uncle Cheng's house next door. Today, your Aunt Cheng came over and brought a bag of sweet potatoes for our family. Mother is remembering this favor." As Zhang spoke, her eyes became a little red, and it was obvious that she was really touched.
Li Mingxia knew who Zhang was talking about. The couple had always had a good relationship with Zhang, and their life was not very rich. At this time, they were willing to take out a bag of sweet potatoes to help, which was a rare kindness. Li Mingxia took out the largest bowl in the house to help serve the dumplings, "Mom, you didn't accept the sweet potatoes, did you?"
If their family really couldn't make ends meet, they would have accepted it, but now they don't need this bag of sweet potatoes to save their lives, so how could they accept other people's food for no reason? You know, in Qianniu Village, food is precious!
Zhang shook her head and picked up the bowl that could no longer hold any dumplings. She walked out and said, "It's not like we can't afford food now, so how can we ask for someone else's sweet potatoes? You can eat first without waiting for mother. I'll send it over and say a few words and then I'll be back."
Li Mingxia agreed and divided the remaining dumplings into three plates. There were roughly more than a hundred steaming dumplings left, enough for their family to have two meals.
After Li Mingxia put the dumplings on the table, the three children washed their hands and sat in a row waiting for dinner. Although Zhang said they didn't have to wait for her to come back, no one wanted to eat first and so they just waited.
When Zhang came back, she saw her four good children sitting at the dining table, with everything in front of them.
"Mom! You're back! Let's eat quickly! I'm hungry!" Li Mingqiu yelled as soon as he saw Zhang. Although he said he was hungry, he still put the first dumpling into Zhang's bowl.
The sons and daughters at home are both sensible and considerate. Zhang felt warm in her heart. After agreeing, she went to the table, picked up the dumplings and dipped them in the dipping sauce that Li Mingxia prepared for her. "You guys should eat quickly too. The dumplings will not taste good if they get cold."
The children smiled happily and then they each picked up a dumpling and started eating.
"It smells so good! Big sis, this pork lard dumpling is so delicious!"
"Yeah! I think I could eat twenty!"
"I can eat thirty!"
The children had never eaten white flour dumplings before. Not to mention white flour dumplings, even black flour dumplings were not their turn in the Li family over the years. When they were lucky, they could eat two dumpling skins and drink two bowls of dumpling soup. When they were unlucky, they could see nothing. But now it’s different. They can eat as much as they want of these fragrant and delicious white flour dumplings and eat as much as they want!
The children felt so happy! They were the happiest people in the world!
"Eat less. Just eat until you are full. Don't force yourself to eat more even when you are full. It's night time and you will have to go to bed soon. If you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. Do you understand?" Zhang glanced at the three children and quickly reminded them.
But these dumplings are really delicious. Every bite is full of meat flavor. Plus, they are all made of white flour, so they are chewy and springy. Zhang was afraid that the three little greedy cats would feel uncomfortable if they ate too much.
After eating five or six dumplings, Li Mingxia put down her chopsticks and picked up the small knife she had taken out from the space. This was the knife she had bought before for opening oysters. It was thin and sharp, and could fit into any oyster shell, no matter how narrow it was.
"Sister, this hard shell is not delicious. I've eaten it before." Li Zhengde said quickly as he watched his elder sister messing with the oysters.
Once upon a time, when the Li family was extremely hungry, someone gave Li Zhengde an oyster, which was fishy and salty. He even hurt his hand when he cracked the shell. Who would be willing to eat that if they had no other choice?
Li Mingxia looked at his brother with some sadness, but did not stop his hands.
She knew that this little kid of hers had suffered a lot in the past, so today she wanted to help him get rid of the psychological trauma.
After easily prying open an oyster, Li Mingxia picked out the plump and tender oyster meat inside and handed it to Li Zhengde.
"Brother, try this, dip it in this and see how it tastes." Li Mingxia pushed the dipping sauce towards Li Zhengde.
Li Zhengde was resistant in his heart because this thing did not leave a good impression on him. He felt uncomfortable whenever he recalled it. He did not know whether it was the discomfort in his heart or the taste that made him uncomfortable.
But Li Mingxia's expression was so hopeful that Li Zhengde couldn't say a word of refusal.
After thinking about it, Li Zhengde reached out to take the oyster meat, dipped it in the dipping water as Li Mingxia said, and after making up his mind, he closed his eyes and took a small bite.
It wasn’t as disgusting as I remembered, but rather sweet, fresh and spicy. How could something so delicious be made of a hard shell?
Li Zhengde opened his eyes immediately, put the oyster meat in his hand in the dipping water, swirled it, and stuffed it all into his mouth.
"This is so delicious!" Li Zhengde said in surprise.
Li Mingxia was not surprised at all. The oysters tasted great whether they were steamed or grilled. How could they not be delicious when paired with his own secret dipping sauce?
Li Mingxia looked at those pairs of sparkling eyes, sighed resignedly, and pushed the opened oysters towards them, while he kept opening one after another.
After eating a few, Zhang wanted to take over the job, but Li Mingxia wouldn't let her.
This knife is too sharp. If it cuts me, I don’t know how deep the cut will be. Anyway, there are not too many oysters and I can open them all in a short while.
"I'll eat later. Mom, I want to drink dumpling soup. Can you help me get a bowl?" Li Mingxia took another big oyster and started to fiddle with it.
The dumpling soup tasted good with a little bit of oiliness and noodle aroma. Li Mingxia took a sip and opened the last few oysters.
"Eat it." Li Mingxia put down the knife, picked up an oyster and tasted it. I don't know if it's an illusion, but it tastes much better than the modern ones, and the sweetness is much stronger. Is this the oyster that has not been contaminated? It's delicious.
