Chapter 240 Eating glutinous rice balls
Chapter 240 Eating Tangyuan
Gong Yoo informed the kitchen in advance that Gu Chenxi was coming. Although he didn't know that Gu Chenxuan was coming with him, the food he prepared was definitely enough for three people.
After having a simple and delicious home-cooked lunch, Gu Chenxi began to look at the tutorial on how to make meat dumplings.
Gong Liu was sitting on the side, feeling flustered. He said to Gu Chenxi, "Are you really going to make glutinous rice balls?"
Gu Chenxi nodded and said without hesitation: "Today is the Lantern Festival, how can we not eat glutinous rice balls?"
"Don't bother, I'll ask Auntie to make some dumplings for us to eat in the evening."
"No." Gu Chenxi shook his head and said, "How can others' wraps be the same as mine?"
"Uh……"
Gong Liu was speechless for a moment. Looking at Gu Chenxi's determined attitude, it might be difficult to dissuade her from making dumplings.
Gong Liu thought for a moment and said, "How about I ask Auntie to prepare the glutinous rice flour and meat filling, and we can just wrap them."
Gu Chenxi refused again: "No, I want to do it myself!"
"Besides, I have already bought the raw materials, just follow me."
As Gu Chenxi spoke, she took out the car keys from her bag, brought Kong Liu and Gu Chenxuan to the car parked outside the door, opened the front trunk and took out a bag of things from it - the 911 has a rear engine, so the luggage compartment is front.
Gong Liu reached out to help Gu Chenxi carry the bag and asked, "What is this?"
"Ingredients for making glutinous rice balls!" Gu Chenxuan said, "My sister bought a lot of them at the supermarket on her way here. She was even tricked by the supermarket salesperson into buying a magical tool for making glutinous rice balls."
Gong Yoo was stunned and asked, "What is the magic tool for making glutinous rice balls?"
"It's just a little thing with a circular groove pressed out, and it cost fifty yuan." Gu Chenxuan said like she was telling tales, "Brother Gong Liu, is my sister an idiot? She actually believed this!"
As Gu Chenxuan spoke, she took out the "magic tool for making glutinous rice balls" that she had spent a huge sum of "fifty yuan" on from her bag.
"Shut up!" Gu Chenxi glared at her sister and said in her ear with some shame and anger, "If you make fun of me again, I won't take you with me next time!"
"You are mean to me!" Gu Chenxuan turned around with a wronged look on her face and hugged Gong Liu's arm, "Brother Gong Liu, look at my sister, she is so mean!"
Gu Chenxi clenched her fist and said, "You green tea, shut up and let go of my boyfriend's hand!"
"No!" Gu Chenxuan stuck out her tongue provocatively, "Lululu."
Looking at the two noisy sisters, Kong Liu smiled bitterly and said nothing.
As a result, Gu Chenxi looked up and asked, "Tell me, is it wrong for me to buy a bag of glutinous rice balls?"
Gong Liu immediately shook his head and said, "That's right, it's okay to buy anything for my baby. If you like it, buy it. If you don't have enough money, just tell me."
Gu Chenxuan shook off Gong Liu's arm and said through gritted teeth: "I've had enough of you two human-shaped automatic dog food spreading machines!"
Gu Chenxi raised her head proudly and said with a victorious attitude, "If you don't agree, just hold it in."
Gu Chenxuan muttered softly: "I'm going to find a boyfriend to piss you off!"
"You dare!" Gu Chenxi's face darkened when he heard this, and he said in a cold tone, "You are only in junior high school. If you dare to fall in love prematurely, I will beat you to death!"
"My, my, my, I was just kidding, don't dare!"
Gu Chenxuan has been fighting with her sister for so many years, and she can tell what her sister is thinking just by looking at her.
From her sister's tone just now, Gu Chenxuan could tell that her sister took it seriously and she was obviously angry. At a time like this, of course she had to admit defeat at the first opportunity.
Gu Chenxi tapped her sister on the head and taught her a lesson: "Don't fall in love too early, study hard!"
"Oh~"
Carrying the ingredients for making glutinous rice balls, Gu Chenxi returned to the house. He refused his aunt's help and insisted on making the glutinous rice balls by himself in the kitchen.
Kong Liu was afraid that she would blow up the kitchen, so he accompanied her in the kitchen to make dumplings, and Gu Chenxuan also wanted to come in and join in the fun.
…The battle to make glutinous rice balls has officially begun…
To make meat stuffing, just use a meat grinder - technology changes our lives.
The glutinous rice flour was made perfectly with the guidance of the cook auntie.
So much so that Gu Chenxi was so confident that she naively thought that her cooking skills had improved...
Gong Yoo and Gu Chenxuan just watched from the side, smiling but not saying anything - as long as she was happy.
After all the preparations are ready, we start making the dumplings.
Gu Chenxuan was responsible for using the glutinous rice balls wrapping tool to press the glutinous rice balls into concave hollow semi-circular balls, Gong Liu was responsible for stuffing them with pure meat filling, and Gu Chenxi stuffed them with mustard greens and fresh meat filling. The last step of rolling the glutinous rice balls into round balls was given to the two cooking aunties.
Because this step requires technical skills, beginners can easily break it.
After the work is done, the last step is to roll the round dumplings in corn starch. This can prevent the dumplings from sticking together. Yuanxiao is also rolled in this way, so there is a saying called "rolling Yuanxiao".
Looking at the plate full of glutinous rice balls, Gu Chenxi felt a great sense of accomplishment. She proudly puffed out her chest and raised her head to say to Kong Liu: "Baby, am I awesome!"
"Awesome, awesome! Our Gu Guigui is the best!"
Kong Liu turned his head to look at Gu Chenxi. There was a little flour on the tip of her nose and cheeks. Maybe she was too engrossed that she didn't notice it herself.
The snow-white flour didn't look too out of place on Gu Chenxi's flawless face, but instead added a touch of playfulness and cuteness to her.
Seeing her asking for praise, Kong Liu really liked her. He wiped his hands, then picked up the silk scarf and gently wiped Gu Chenxi's cheek.
After wiping it clean, he raised his hand and gently pinched the soft cheek.
"Did I get smudged just now?" Gu Chenxi touched her cheek and asked in a panic, "Does it look ugly?"
"No." Gong Liu shook his head and said, "Gu Guigui with painted face is more adorable!"
"Don't lie to me!"
"I'm telling the truth, okay!"
"Humph~"
Gu Chenxuan stood aside... didn't want to say a word──she once again began to regret following her sister to join in the fun.
Looking at the glutinous rice flour on the table, she dipped some of it on her face, then poked Gong Liu's waist and said, "Brother, is there some on my face too?"
Gong Liu turned around, looked at Gu Chenxuan and said, "One thing, don't move, I'll wipe it for you."
Gu Chenxi saw through her sister's little trick. She snatched the scarf from Kong Liu's hand, looked at her sister with a smile and said, "I'll help you wipe it!"
“You… wuwuwu…”
Gu Chenxuan was halfway through her words when her sister took a silk scarf and started to rub her little face, not giving her a chance to speak.
The prepared dumplings were cooked in a pot and when they were served on the table, Gu Chenxuan was forced to become the first "guinea pig".
She was really miserable today. Her sister and brother-in-law showed off their love to her, and she was also used as a guinea pig to taste the food.
The two of them stared at her and asked nervously, "Is it delicious?"
Gu Chenxuan’s mouth was stuffed full: “Hmm…good!”
After getting an affirmative answer, the two began to taste it.
A lot of glutinous rice balls were made, and all the staff in the room got a bowl. Gu Chenxi said that the remaining portion would be left for Gong Liu's parents to eat - so that they could also know how virtuous their future daughter-in-law is.
"Son, open the door!"
As she was talking, Gong Yoo's parents happened to arrive home...
