Once the leeks are ripe, they must be eaten every day, which is the rule of Mr. Li. Two days ago, he cut a bundle of leeks, and I was pleasantly surprised, fresh vegetables always make people happy. But yesterday, he cut it again, and I started to think about a different way of eating it, trying something new. Today, however, when I saw him cut another bundle of leeks, I began to wonder silently, when would I finish eating these leeks? Nevertheless, I did not dare to express this thought in front of him, because I knew that he might think that I was not content, and even angrily threatened not to cut the leeks for me.
Actually, Mr. Li doesn't like to eat leeks, he just thinks that the leeks in the head knife are tender, and other vegetables are not easy to buy now, so he only eats leeks in this season every year. He is a very practical person with a pragmatic approach to life. In contrast, I have a different opinion on eating leeks, I love to eat leeks and even want to eat them all year round. However, I don't like to eat leeks at every meal, and I don't like to eat leeks all day long. But I knew I had to persevere, and I had to eat the first knife leeks in the garden anyway.
Yesterday I decided to try making leek pies. Before I got my hands dirty, I looked up how pies are made and tried to find some new inspiration. I found that the process of making pies is basically the same as making leek boxes, but the shape is completely different. It's a whole new challenge for me, and I hope to add some joie to life by trying my hand at pie making. I decided to try my best to make this attempt more fun and delicious.
In the process of mixing the noodles, I deliberately made the noodles softer and put a piece of old noodles in the hope of making the noodles easier to ferment. When the dough starts to bubble, I know that the effect of fermentation has already appeared. Next is the process of preparing the filling, I scramble the eggs, chop the leeks, fry the dried shrimp until fragrant, then mix well with oil, and finally add five-spice powder and salt to taste. I wrap the crust, put the filling in it, and fry the pie in the pan. The whole process is a bit complicated, but I try to make every step the best I can because I know that this is the only way to make these leek pies even more delicious.
When Mr. Li came back, I had already fried two pots of leek pies and arranged them neatly on the plate. I asked him how the pie was, and he said lightly, it's okay, you can eat anything. I was a little disappointed, but still waiting for his evaluation after taking a bite. However, after only a few bites, he finished a loaf of bread and said nothing more. Although I was a little discouraged, I still tasted one myself. The crust is thin and crispy, the filling is rich and delicious, and I ate it with a greasy mouth. I think these leek pies are even better than the leek boxes. After eating, Mr. Li took a nap very satisfied. Even though I didn't get his compliment, I knew that I had managed to make the leek pie he loved. Now, I am willing to let go of my identity and become his own peasant woman. I started cleaning the kitchen and wiped it on my knees on the floor amid his snoring. It may just be a small episode in my daily life, but for me, trying to make leek pies not only added some fun, but also made me appreciate the beauty of life more deeply.
