Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Chapter 260 Sea Sausage Dumplings

Silang and Golang could no longer sit still and wanted to go out to look for someone.

Old Man Cui pondered for a moment and pointed at the table.

"It won't take a while. Let's eat first. The dumplings will be clumping up later. After dinner, we can go out and look for them together."

Lin brought the dumplings to the table.

"Listen to your grandfather and eat the dumplings while they're hot. We've left some for Erlang. We made a lot today, so eat as much as you can."

Everyone suppressed their anxiety and focused their attention on the dumplings.

The dumplings are very big, with round bellies, and you can vaguely see the green leaves inside through the dough.

Old man Cui picked up his chopsticks first and ate one dumpling in one bite.

“Delicious, the chive flavor is really bright.”

Old Mrs. Cui took a glance at it, picked one up and savored it slowly.

Lin smiled and said, "The filling of the dumplings I made today is different. See if you can taste it."

"Huh? Isn't it just leeks?"

Old Man Cui picked up another dumpling out of curiosity, bit off half, and looked at it carefully with squinting eyes.

"Sea cucumber?!" Cui Chengliang was the first to discover it and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Cui Jingwen and Cui Zhaozhao also tasted it at this time. The sea intestine was cut into small pieces by Lin and mixed into the dumpling stuffing. It tasted very crispy and chewy.

They often eat sea cucumbers and like them very much.

Except for the third family of four, everyone else was very surprised, especially Old Mrs. Cui.

"Oh, this sea sausage tastes really good. It doesn't have any special taste, but it's just indescribably delicious. This is the first time I think leeks are more delicious than meat."

This is indeed the case with sea sausage. Compared to other seafood, sea sausage is more like a condiment, making the whole dish more delicious silently.

I heard that before MSG was invented, fishermen along the coast would grind sea intestines into powder and add a pinch when cooking to enhance the flavor.

"It looks disgusting, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

The few children who had seen sea cucumbers in the afternoon had put aside their prejudices, recognized this delicacy, and started to eat it with great effort.

Although the dumplings were delicious, everyone was still worried about Erlang. They hurriedly finished their meal and prepared to go out to look for him.

Fortunately, there were many people in the family, so Old Man Cui divided them into four groups. One group went to the foot of the mountain, one group went to the village entrance, Old Man Cui looked to the west, and the rest looked in the village.

As a result, as soon as everyone went out, they saw a blurry figure in the night, limping back from the direction of the village entrance.

Shi Lang hurried over to support him: "Second brother! What happened to your leg?"

Erlang supported Silang and walked to the gate of the courtyard. Under the moonlight, the family's faces were worried.

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Old Man Cui breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're back. The door is hard to see, let's go inside first."

The table in the yard had not been cleared yet, and several children helped Erlang to sit down. Lin took an oil lamp from the house and looked him up and down in the light.

Fortunately, there were no injuries on his body, except that his trouser leg was torn and his ankle was twisted somehow.

Lin asked Wulang to invite Doctor Luo over and made a bowl of dumpling soup for Erlang. Everyone tried not to mention what happened in the afternoon.

"Just now your grandma said you didn't have a good appetite. We all ate the white flour dumplings we made tonight, but you haven't. Have a bowl of dumpling soup first."

The dumplings were still delicious when they were hot. All the dumplings that Lin had left were not cooked yet. Now that he had just returned, it would take a while to cook them.

Erlang drank the dumpling soup silently. The soup was rich white and at just the right temperature. After drinking it, he felt warm all over.

Still didn't speak.

At this time, Doctor Luo came and the Cui family gave up their place, leaving only Silang to help hold the lamp.

"Hiss, why is it so swollen!"

When he rolled up his trouser legs, he discovered that Erlang's ankles were blue and purple, and swollen like steamed buns with leavened dough, which looked very scary.

Lidong's eyes instantly turned red, and the others also looked distressed.

But Erlang didn't know why, so he just sat there silently, letting Doctor Luo handle it.

Old Mrs. Cui wanted to ask something, but Lin gently pulled her and she shut her mouth.

When Wu Lang called for help, he briefly explained the situation. Doctor Luo had prepared plaster early in the morning. After feeling and confirming that the bones were not broken, he applied a thick layer of plaster on the ankle.

"It's a pretty bad sprain, but luckily the bones are fine. Let's just rest like this for now."
