Chapter 181 Making Dumplings
Dudek was addicted to Chinese food after he tasted it for the first time, and later he often pestered Li Qiao to eat Chinese food.
There is no way, after all, as one of the most powerful of the three major gourmet kingdoms, whoever says he doesn't like Chinese food must have something wrong with his brain, except of course the spicy ones.
Today, Li Qiao went back to Dudek's house for a party. Li Qiao lived here when he first came to Liverpool.
"Hi, Jeri."
When visiting abroad, simple gifts are needed, such as a bottle of red wine, and Li Qiao handed the red wine to the other party.
"Haha, please come in."
Dudek's children and wife are in the living room, especially his cute little girl Lisa, who is very playful.
"Lisa, how many times have I told you that you have to speak English with your guests, not Polish."
"It's okay, it's okay, I just happened to learn Polish with Lisa."
Dudek chuckled, "Brother, no need, I don't think you will play football in Poland in the future."
"Haha."
After setting up the equipment, Li Qiao turned on the laptop and turned on the video, and his mother in Guangzhou was on the other end.
"Mom, are you ready?"
The mother over there looked embarrassed, "I really lost to you."
It turned out that Li Qiao was going to show his skills to the Dudek family and teach them how to make dumplings, but he tried many times yesterday without success, so he came up with such a wonderful way to ask his mother to teach him.
The mother on the other end of the video has prepared a rolling pin, a chopping board, and of course the dough that has been kneaded.
"start?"
"start!"
At the end of the video, Dudek, his wife and Li Qiao began to learn step by step.
"Okay, let me see your faces."
Li Qiao raised it up, both ends were pointed, unqualified.
Dudek lifted, slightly better, but totally asymmetrical.
It was Dudek's wife who did the best, but she didn't meet the standard either.
"Li Qiao, this is more difficult than I imagined."
"Mom, this is a teammate, I have to make a good relationship."
"Hehe, I understand."
However, rolling dumpling wrappers for the first time is really difficult. The biggest difficulty is unevenness, which is similar to drawing a circle, and it is easy to get crooked.
After several attempts, but still failed, my mother said, "Li Qiao, go find a mug."
"what?"
"Being an impression."
Li Qiao suddenly realized, yes!
It is much simpler to use the rim of a mug to print a circle on a piece of dough, and then roll out a dough based on it.
"Haha, it worked. Mom, you are a genius."
"hey-hey."
But this is still the easiest step, and the next step is really technical work. The reason why dumplings are dumplings, not buns, is because of their unique shape.
Li Qiao first picked up a piece of dough by himself, and then added a little bit of filling, just a little bit, so as not to expose it.
Then Zhaomaohuahu began to wrap it up, but soon Li Qiao discovered the problem, that is, it is still inevitable to become a bun, and it is the kind of bun that has very little technical content, let alone pleats.
"Mom? Is there any way?"
"This is technical work, and I can't help it. I said why don't you buy quick-frozen dumplings."
"That's not sincere."
"..."
Just when her mother was helpless, Li Qiao suddenly thought, "There is a way."
I saw that Li Qiao kneaded a dough without any shape as before, and then he used a western knife to make plastic surgery on the dough.
Correct!
If you can't pinch the folds, then fake it!
Mom was struck by lightning, is that okay?
But for foreigners, it doesn't matter, and even Dudek mistakenly thought that this is how dumplings are made.
"Come on, come on, you also learn from me."
Dudek's family followed suit and began to describe dumplings.
puff!
"Li Qiao, you are such a bad teacher, you have taught all the students badly."
"Don't worry, mom, I will definitely buy quick-frozen dumplings in the future. I found that this technical job is really impossible."
After making dozens of dumplings, everyone started cooking dumplings.
Li Qiao is experienced in this regard, and he must cut down a few, because if there are too many, it will be easy to break, and then it will be exposed, and finally it will become a pot of soup.
After cooking more than a dozen, Li Qiao shared it with everyone. If he didn't eat it himself, it's not polite, and I'm sorry, this...how are dumplings!
"good to eat."
Dudek gave a thumbs up.
"really?"
"If you don't believe me, ask Lisa."
Li Qiao looked at the little Lisa, and saw that she had eaten three or four, she looked as cute as a little squirrel eating a pine nut.
"Is it tasty?"
"Yeah." Lisa spoke a bunch of Polish again. She came to England with her mother not long ago, and her command of English is not so good yet.
"She means delicious."
After eating the dumplings, Dudek's wife is going to make some Polish specialties for Li Qiao, such as Polish sausages.
The food in Poland is actually very similar to that in Germany. It used to be a bitterly cold place in the European continent, so you must eat some high-calorie food.
Dudek patted Li Qiao, "My wife's sausage is a must."
"Okay, try it."
It's a perfect match with sausage and beer.
"It feels like being in Germany."
"Yes, many things in Poland are similar to Germany, and now it is even more similar. Many Poles will go to Germany, such as football players."
Li Qiao remembered that some of the most powerful players in Poland played in the German league. Even Klose and Podolski immigrated to Germany from Poland.
"Then why don't you go to Germany?"
"I don't know, in fact, you can go to Germany, but you know, the most important thing in German football is the goalkeeper."
"And there is a shortage of goalkeepers in England."
"Haha."
The family chatted very happily, except for one person, that is Dudek's youngest daughter, she is a foodie, she doesn't speak, and keeps eating.
"Lisa, let me ask you, are the dumplings delicious, or your mother's?"
Unexpectedly, Lisa gave a very creative answer.
"I think it's best to wrap Polish sausage in dumplings."
"Haha, creative."
Dudek touched his girl, "Li Qiao, let me tell you, the best first child is a daughter, it will make you feel very happy."
"haha ok."
Seeing the lovely Lisa, Li Qiao really wanted to have a daughter, what a heartwarming thing that was.
It was already 7 o'clock in the evening when he left Dudek's house. Li Qiao took a taxi to go home. Unexpectedly, Lorinda was still waiting for him.
"how have you been today?"
Li Qiao said it like a storyteller, and Lorinda laughed after hearing it, "That little girl is so cute."
"Then do you want to have a daughter in the future?"
Lorinda laughed, "I want a son."
"why?"
"Because I can bully him, just like I bully you."
