Chapter three hundred and forty-four: being eliminated by the dumpling team
Mrs. Wu had made the dough the night before, so they could use it when they got to the backyard, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Gu Xiaoyou kneaded the dough into long strips and then rolled it into small balls.
Sprinkle a layer of flour on the board, Gu Xiaoyou picks up the rolling pin and rolls out the dumpling wrappers.
Maybe Xuemei Niang has done too much, and her dough rolling skills have become more and more mature. If her mother saw it, her jaw would drop.
Gu Xiaoyou thought teasingly while rolling out the dumpling wrappers.
While rolling, Zhou and Zhixia also made dumpling fillings. Taking into account the diverse tastes of the employees, they made five different kinds of dumpling fillings.
"Don't roll out the wrappers yet, wrap some, otherwise the dumpling wrappers will stick together." Zhou said experiencedly.
"Oh, okay." Gu Xiaoyou patted the flour on his hand, picked up a dumpling wrapper, picked out a spoonful of dumpling filling with a spoon, and slowly wrapped the dumplings.
When Gu Xiaoyou finished wrapping one dumpling, Zhou and Zhixia had already wrapped three or four.
Putting the round dumplings she had made next to the dumplings they had made, Gu Xiaoyou admired them for a moment before continuing to make the next one.
"Why are you wrapping so slowly?" Mrs. Zhou finished wrapping another dumpling, and Gu Xiaoyou was carefully pinching the edges of the dumpling.
Gu Xiaoyou squeezed it tightly for the last time and put it on the bamboo grate: "Slow work makes careful work, and the dumplings I made will never fall apart no matter how you cook them."
Mrs. Zhou glanced at it and said, "It's true that it won't fall apart." The dumplings were wrapped like steamed buns and couldn't fall apart even if they wanted to.
Gu Xiaoyou raised her eyebrows happily and continued to make dumplings slowly.
Zhixia glanced at the dumplings made by her young lady and silently remembered the appearance. When they were cooked, she did not want to eat them.
The three of them were making dumplings in the pavilion, which naturally attracted the attention of other people in the backyard.
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Tang observed it for a while, then each washed their hands and walked into the pavilion.
"Sister-in-law Tang and I can help. There are so many dumplings, how long will it take you three to make them?" Mrs. Wu said, rolled up her sleeves and started rolling out the dumpling wrappers.
Mrs. Tang was even smarter and directly took over Gu Xiaoyou's position: "You make dumplings like embroidery, I'll do it."
Gu Xiaoyou stood by with a confused look on her face, watching Mrs. Tang make dumplings quickly and well. She made the dumplings quickly and well, and the dumplings were just like the frozen dumplings she bought in the supermarket.
The dumplings made by Gu Xiaoyou are right next to Mrs. Tang's dumplings. They look like the work of a six-year-old child, with a circle of pleats pinched on the dough.
Mrs. Wu rolled out the dumpling wrappers even faster, rolling it out into a sheet in three or four strokes. With their help, the speed of making dumplings increased instantly.
Gu Xiaoyou raised his hands stained with flour and blinked a few times on the spot.
There was only a table in the pavilion, and four women stood around it. The only space left open was a bamboo grate.
Gu Xiaoyou came to Zhou's side: "Sister Zhou, rest a while, I'll take care of it."
Mrs. Zhou quickly turned sideways and blocked the table in front of her: "I'm not tired, you go help Zhixia."
Gu Xiaoyou pouted: "Okay."
Glancing at Zhou's progress, she moved closer to Zhixia and said in a long voice: "Zhixia..."
"Miss, you are tired, go and have a rest." Before Gu Xiaoyou could finish speaking, Zhixia spoke first.
"I'm not tired, let me help you." Gu Xiaoyou said positively.
"How can I ask you to work for me, slave? You should go to the two sisters-in-law and ask." Zhixia quickly refused.
After saying that, she protected the dumpling stuffing in front of her and hugged the dumplings.
Seeing that Zhixia was not working here, Gu Xiaoyou moved to Mrs. Tang's place. She didn't even say anything, so she heard Mrs. Tang say: "Boss, if you have nothing to do, go and boil some water. The dumplings will be ready in a while.
It’s time to put it in the pot.”
"Yes, Xiaoyou, go and boil the water." Mrs. Zhou agreed.
"A job as unskilled as boiling water can only be done by an apprentice. I want to make dumplings." Gu Xiaoyou muttered.
"We are enough, why don't you take a break?" Mrs. Wu said tactfully.
The other three women nodded in agreement, with an expression that said, "It would be the greatest help if you go and rest."
Gu Xiaoyou, who was disliked, snorted: "Humph, you people who don't understand the art of making dumplings."
After saying that, Gu Xiaoyou patted the flour on his hands, pouted and left unhappily.
The four women making dumplings looked at each other, shook their heads in amusement, and continued making dumplings.
Gu Xiaoyou, a team member who was eliminated from the dumpling-making team, walked into the kitchen with an indignant look on his face: "Just boil water, and I will boil the water into a flower."
While feeling indignant in his heart, Gu Xiaoyou honestly added water to the pot, lit the stove fire, held his chin, and stared at the water in the pot in a daze.
The water in the pot started to bubble slowly. Gu Xiaoyou looked at the bubbles and had an idea. He said to the apprentice who was helping the cook: "Look at the water for me. I have something to do."
"Yes, go ahead and get busy. Come and boil the water, little one." The apprentice responded and started boiling water in the kitchen.
Gu Xiaoyou happily walked out of the restaurant, grabbed a few ingredients, and walked towards the medical center. She couldn't make dumplings, so she could make soup.
When she cooks all the food for the beginning of winter, they will be impressed.
Gu Xiaoyou first put all the ingredients in the backyard, and then went to the front hall of the medical center to grab the medicinal materials.
She first took tangerine peel, licorice slices, astragalus and Chuanqiong, and carefully wrapped them in gauze.
I also took Angelicae Sinensis, Rehmannia glutinosa, White Peony Root, and Ligusticum Chuanxiong and wrapped them in paper bags, and headed to the backyard.
Master Zhang and the two waiters at the medical center were a little curious. Is Boss Gu going to make medicine?
"Boss, if you want to cook some medicine, let the young one do it." said the waiter Xiao Wan.
"It's okay if you come to help, but I'm not making medicine, I'm making soup." Gu Xiaoyou said and walked into the backyard.
Xiao Wan and Xiao Chen looked at each other, their eyes shining with eagerness to try.
Upon seeing this, Master Zhang waved his hand and ordered: "Go and help, as long as I'm here."
"Okay." The two guys responded and actively went to the backyard to help.
Every time Boss Gu cooks a new delicacy, they are always the last to eat it, so this time they must be the first to eat it.
In the kitchen in the backyard of the hospital, Gu Xiaoyou has already processed the ingredients and is stir-frying the mutton.
"Boss, is there anything I need to do?" Xiao Wan asked.
"Help me boil some water." Gu Xiaoyou carefully fried the mutton in the pot and ordered without looking back.
"Okay." Xiao Wan immediately started to boil water.
"What are you doing, little one?" Seeing that he had something to do, Xiao Chen asked quickly.
Gu Xiaoyou thought for a moment and said, "Just wash all the chickens and ducks on the chopping board."
"Let's go, little one." Xiao Chen immediately followed the instructions to take care of Xiao You and went to do things.
