Author: Joe Mai MACHINE TRANSLATION
Mu Ru and Zheng Yifan went out in the afternoon because it was the New Year’s Eve. The Chinese custom was to make dumplings on the eve of the New Year. Zheng Yifan said that he liked dumplings and asked Mu ru if she knew how to make them.
Of course Mu ru knew how to make dumplings. She grew up beside mother w.a.n.g and had been working in the kitchen since she was five, so she usually knew how to do the work in the kitchen.
Zheng Yifan opened the door and the two of them went to a large supermarket three kilometers away from the apartment. Of course, it was to buy new year goods and ingredients to make dumplings.
Zheng Yifan was originally going back to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year with his sister on the 30th day of the Lunar New Year. However, because of Mu Ru, he gave up on going to Hong Kong to reunite with his sister. Instead, he went to Binhai to spend the new year with Mu Ru.
Because their goal was very clear, they came to buy ingredients for the New Year’s banquet tonight. Therefore, after entering the supermarket, they went straight to the vegetable section. Zheng Yifan pushed the shopping cart while mu ru followed beside him. He smiled as he watched her pick out these green leafy vegetables.
Mu Ru looked at the vegetables on the shelves. She looked at them one after another. After looking at them, she put them down again and again. She did not feel satisfied. From this, one could see that she was actually quite picky about the ingredients.
“Why did you put down the Broccoli after taking it? Broccoli is very nutritious. ” Zheng Yifan couldn’t help but ask when he saw her put down the Broccoli.
“Broccoli is good, but there are also a lot of bugs hidden in it, ” Mu ru quickly explained to him “Broccoli usually needs to be soaked in water for two to three hours before it can be fried. It’s so late now. We probably won’t have that long to soak the Broccoli when we go back. ”
“Oh, I see. ” Zheng Yifan scratched his head with his hand and said a little embarra.s.sedly, “I’m not very good at cooking. I can cook some noodles or fry a steak occasionally. ”
Mu Ru nodded. She knew that Zheng Yifan grew up in Hong Kong and went to the United States to study, so it was not that he did not have any culinary skills, but that his culinary skills were mostly in western cuisine.
“Oh, there are tomatoes here. ” Zheng Yifan walked to another row of shelves and could not help but shout, “Mu Ru, come over quickly. These tomatoes are so fresh. ”
Mu Ru immediately walked over and looked at the tomatoes. She frowned and said, “tomatoes are good, but tonight, we are making dumplings. The tomatoes are too watery, so it’s not easy to make dumplings, in case the filling leaks. ”
“It’s okay if the tomatoes don’t hold the dumplings. It’s good to make tomato egg flower soup and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. ” Zheng Yifan put the tomatoes into the shopping basket and said, “buy it, buy it. The tomatoes are for beauty. It’s good for girls’ skin to eat more tomatoes. ”
Mu Ru didn’t say anything more after hearing what he said. She let him pick a few tomatoes and then walked forward.
On the afternoon of the New Year’s Eve, the green leafy vegetables were actually not very fresh. Mu Ru picked the leeks and coriander and said that they were used to make dumplings. She bought a few other dishes and then went to the freezer.
Fortunately, the two of them did not have many things to buy and their goals were clear, so they bought them very quickly. Then, Zheng Yifan pushed the shopping cart to the cas.h.i.+er to queue up to pay the bill.
At this time, there were quite a lot of people paying the bill. Zheng Yifan was quiet and mu ru patted him on the back. Occasionally, she would turn her head and look at the woman beside her. She was calm and peaceful with a faint smile on her face. She put one hand on the side of the shopping cart They walked slowly forward together. They did not have the impatience and annoyance that normal women had when they queued up.
