Chapter 123 Making Dumplings to Eat

The rations for four people can be easily covered by Luo Cheng's income if he doesn't need food stamps. Now that he lives with just three people, he needs to go to the grain store frequently to check in. If he adds four more people, there are seven people in total. If they want to eat freely, the system can't even supply it.

"Just follow the ration. Just tell me or Xiaoyu what you want to eat."

Luo Cheng did not generously say that he did not want them to give food stamps, even if he could afford it, he would do so. Captain Zhang told him about this before when he asked Wang Cheng and the others to help him shave Dabai. Not to mention treating friends to colleagues, even in a family, when you can support yourself, you have to pay food stamps for meals.

"You don't need to take care of us. We will cook with your sister. We will eat whatever you want. We can eat anything thick or drink anything thin."

Dai Qianqian nodded and said, as a female artist in the art troupe, the quota is actually not high. The rationed subsidy is not as high as that of soldiers in the army. After all, after becoming an art soldier, the training in the art troupe only becomes an auxiliary, and the amount is not as large as that of soldiers in the army. In addition, women’s rations are inherently smaller than men’s.

Luo Cheng said that they were given food stamps according to rations, that is, they were given four taels of food stamps a day, and they were usually given according to the minimum standard. Six taels for men and four taels for women. Instead of rationing a person weighing about thirty kilograms, one kilogram a day is given.

Dai Qianqian's family conditions are good, and it doesn't matter even if she pays one pound of food stamps a day. But everyone else has to subsidize their families to some extent, and the saved rations are used to support their families.

This~~, it was a bit difficult for Luo to eat rough food and drink thin food, but he still had rough food stamps. But now at home we have either rice or flour, as well as pure cornmeal and the like. They should be having a good time at home today at noon, and I will take my sister and the others to buy clothes later. On this first day, I think I should have a good meal.

"Let's see, you guys know how to roll dough? We have flour and cornmeal at home. Let's make some dumplings for lunch. Xiaoyu and the others didn't buy the meat they bought in the morning. I'll buy it back later. There's a large kitchen. Cabbage, how about making dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork."

Luo Cheng suggested that he signed in yesterday and got a pound of cornmeal. This delicate cornmeal should be the same as the cornmeal pancakes stuck to the side of the pot when stewing goose. No need to add anything, it has a sweet flavor. But this kind of dough is actually not as sticky as flour. When I checked in at the grain store before, I still had a pound of flour. Mix this together, one pound of flour and one and a half pounds of cornmeal, which is two and a half pounds of flour.

Add some water to the flour to make it thicker, and then add the cabbage and pork stuffing. Once these dumplings are cooked, one person can eat at least eight taels.

"Monitor, it's good to eat dumplings. I like eating dumplings. I can make dumplings."

Before Dai Qianqian could answer Luo Cheng's words, Zhao Qian who was standing aside responded with a smile. Zhao Qian was not eavesdropping on purpose. She just put down her things in the room and was going to get some water to wipe the tables and stools. As soon as I left home, I heard Luo Cheng talking about making dumplings.

Dumplings are only eaten once in the army during the Chinese New Year. Every New Year, people in the army look forward to this meal of dumplings. So people in the army, even in the art troupe, are actually obsessed with dumplings.

"Whatever you don't like, you can knead the dough later."

Dai Qianqian was originally thinking about whether it would be too extravagant to make dumplings as soon as she came, but she was interrupted by Zhao Qian and thought about it. I and Luo Cheng are in a relationship now, so I can't keep it out of the public eye.

"Luo Cheng, take me to the kitchen to have a look."

"Um."

Luo Cheng nodded and walked ahead to take Sissy to the kitchen. The rolling pin that the system signed in at the supply and marketing cooperative last time unexpectedly worked. But there is still a ‘stick’ in the system, and I don’t know when it will be used.

There was no rice vat and not much rice noodles. They were all packed in bags and stored in the cupboard. Just when you open the cupboard, you can easily take out the rolling pin.

“Here’s the cornmeal, here’s the flour, here’s the rolling pin.”

There was only half a kilo of cornmeal in the bag, but I used half a kilo to make pancakes yesterday morning. Now when Luo Cheng lifted the bag, a pound of cornmeal was added to the system.

“Is this cornmeal?”

Holding the bag of cornmeal, Dai Qianqian thought at first that Luo Cheng was talking about the cornmeal type. Generally, the army makes dumplings, but these days they don't have the luxury to use pure flour to make dumplings. They are made of two-way noodles, and even three-way noodles in some places. It's flour mixed with cornmeal, and sometimes soybean flour.

But the cornmeal Luo Cheng took out was golden and almost as fine as flour.

Corn noodles are actually made from whole corns and are not made from pure corn kernels. Luo Cheng explained to Dai Qianqian that it was made of pure corn and was not available on the market, so they had to find connections to get it.

Dai Qianqian nodded and poured the two kinds of flour together directly. The dish was from the dustpan in the kitchen of the house, and there was more than half a head of Chinese cabbage, which was enough.

After the noodles and cabbage were taken out of the room, Sissi asked the others to clean the table in the room and knead the dough directly on the table to make dumpling wrappers.

The other three people didn't expect that they would be able to eat dumplings on the first day they moved here, so their spirits immediately became high. Since they were also artists, they started singing directly.

Ringgit, art soldiers are different. When ordinary people encounter happy things, they just shout in their hearts that they are so happy. How can they sing like this?

Luo Cheng didn't do much ink, thinking that there were only two keys to the yard, and the two sisters usually didn't wander around. In fact, he had brought the key himself and couldn't use it, so he gave his key to his partner Dai Qianqian. Then I drove my tricycle and took my sister to buy clothes.

When you come to the supply and marketing cooperative, go directly to the counter area where cloth is sold. After looking at it for a long time, I found that there are only a few types of finished clothes here, including men's and women's shirts and long-sleeved shirts, and cotton pants.

Seeing Luo Cheng and others staring at the finished clothes, the counter staff understood a little and took the initiative to say that there were not many finished clothes for sale here, mainly cloth. If you really have tickets and money, you can buy them. You have to go to department stores in the city center to buy clothes that are out of stock.

Luo Cheng nodded. It seemed that the fleece jacket he bought without tickets at the garment factory was not sold here. If you are going to a department store to buy clothes, you might as well find time to go to a garment factory. It seems that the clothing tickets for the finished product will not be used for the time being.

After asking Xiaoyu if they could make their own clothes, they pulled out the cloth and bought it. Let them pick a fabric they like. In fact, there are only a few colors in total, so as not to waste fabric. Xiaoyu and Shishi chose a light blue cotton fabric together.

I bought some more needles, threads, buttons and the like at the supply and marketing cooperative, and that's about it. You can buy things like needlework and buttons without a ticket.

After buying the fabric, I drove my tricycle straight to the farmer's market again, this time to buy meat. When we got here, the meat counter was so big. When Luo Cheng brought Xiao Yu and Shishi, the meat seller was still the same comrade from the morning. When he saw the two girls came again, it was a man in worker's clothing who brought it. , how could we not understand that those people who said in the morning that these two girls came to buy meat and that the meat tickets and money were stolen were completely based on wild guesses.

But this can't be entirely blamed on others. At that time, he looked at the clothes of these two girls and even bought a pound of meat, which made him murmur in his heart.

We still let the other party choose, but at this point, some of the fatter parts of the meat have been sold out. They could only choose the fatter ones. Xiaoyu and Shishi looked at them for a while but were not satisfied. The meat was obviously much different from the part of meat they looked at in the morning. If it is fatter, you can boil it with more oil.

Because he knew the situation of the two girls in the morning, the comrade who sold the meat asked them to pick first. If they still wanted a pound of meat, he would cut a tael of fat from other parts for them later. Xiaoyu and the others immediately smiled after hearing this, and then they picked a piece of meat that felt good.

Even at this point in the farmer's market, there are many people coming out after buying meat. There are a lot of people watching the three-wheelers. I have to say that parking is really convenient in this era. You just need to find a place to park and there is no one to manage it.
