In order to avoid overpowering the flavor and increase the crispy and tender texture, Su Qingluan added water chestnuts to the beaten pork filling.

Water chestnuts are crisp and sweet when eaten raw, but they don't overpower the flavor; instead, they help to neutralize the greasiness of the meat filling. Today's pork filling happened to be pork belly, half fat and half lean. Su Qingluan was worried about the greasy taste, so adding some diced water chestnuts would be just the right amount to counteract the greasiness while creating a wonderfully crisp and bouncy texture with the preserved egg.

Over there, Yang had already rolled the dough into a thin sheet with a rolling pin that was as thick as her arm and three feet long. She smelled the fragrance in the air and couldn't help but sniff and said with a smile, "Wow, the chicken soup tastes different with the pickled bacon in it!"

At this time, the two little guys who were playing in the yard also smelled the fragrance and ran over to ask what it was that smelled so good.

After learning the answer, little Su Xueyan shook her head like a grown-up: "Oh my, chicken soup with pickled bacon is so delicious! Mother, why didn't we think of it before?"

Su Xuanhe had at least been to school for a while, so he tapped his sister on the head. "Fool! You don't even know this? We couldn't even afford meat back then, so where would we have the extra money to buy spices and salt for bacon?"

"I'm not stupid!" the little girl complained to Su Qingluan angrily, "Sister, my brother said I'm stupid!"

Generally, when children quarreled with each other, as long as the quarrels were not too extreme - for example, the last time Su Xuanhe tricked the little girl into eating onions, the spiciness made her cry and her throat swollen - Yang and Su Guangfu would not interfere.

So usually at this time, it is the eldest sister Su Qingluan who comes out to "uphold justice."

But is she the type to be patient and reason with others? Just kidding, she's not cut out to be a parent.

So, Su Qingluan asked her younger brother with a smile: "Then do you know why salt is so expensive and no one can afford it?"

"I... I..." How could a seven-year-old child know the reason behind the tense supply and demand relationship of salt? He hesitated for a long time but could not answer at all.

So, Su Qingluan said to him in the same provocative tone that Su Xuanhe had used on Su Xueyan: "Idiot! You don't even know this? Salt is so expensive because it's difficult to mine and process, and transport, and the demand is huge! As for spices, they're far away in foreign lands and rarely seen, so naturally they're not cheap."

Yang naturally understood that her eldest daughter was deliberately imitating the arrogant way her son taught her sister a lesson, and the two younger ones were not stupid people. Moreover, although Su Qingluan's arrogant tone was exactly the same as Su Xuanhe's just now, it was ten times more exaggerated, so it was even more irritating.

So, Su Xueyan pursed her lips, and her pair of grape-shaped eyes curved into a pair of crescents as she smiled; while classmate Su Xiaoer's little face turned red with anger.

Su Qingluan seemed oblivious to her brother's furious expression and feigned confusion, "Why are you so angry? You were clearly talking to your sister just now like that?"

Su Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, then he understood why his elder sister was "angry" with him. Although he was still a little unhappy, he said to Su Qingluan obediently: "Sister, I was wrong."

Su Qingluan looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't laugh at my sister just because I know more than her." The little guy said sullenly.

Since her brother had already realized where he was wrong, Su Qingluan didn't interrupt him and waste her breath on a bunch of nonsense and nonsense, which would only annoy him. But this was not the end yet.

"I'm not the one you should apologize to the most." Su Qingluan still had a stern face.

Su Xuanhe's face froze. Although he was still a little reluctant, he still said to Xueyan honestly, "I'm sorry, little sister. I was wrong. Don't be angry. I won't say that to you next time."

The little girl rolled her dark eyes and said, "Then promise me that you will take me out to play next time and not go out by yourself, and I will forgive you!"

Su Xuanhe thought about it and finally nodded.

Children's "grudges" come and go like the wind. The two people who were at loggerheads just now were chatting and laughing again, holding hands and walking away in the blink of an eye.

Yang was watching from the sidelines, but her hands did not stop moving.

This "intervention" lasted only a cup of tea, and Yang had already rolled the dough thinner and thinner. The dough, which was originally about the size of a cuju, was now as big as a blanket.

In order to allow the dough to stretch fully and ensure the thin skin of the wontons, the length of the rolling pin was really limited, so Yang had to roll the originally round dough into an oval shape.

When the dough was about the right thickness, Yang spread it out while evenly sprinkling flour on it and spreading it with her hands to prevent it from sticking.

After the front and back of the entire dough were evenly sprinkled with flour, Yang wrapped the dough tightly around the rolling pin again, and then used a knife to cut the dough longitudinally on the rolling pin. The originally oval dough became rectangular "noodles" with uneven edges.

If you cut these "noodles" that are about half a foot wide again lengthwise, the width of these "noodles" will only be about three inches.

Yang cut the dough into square wonton wrappers, and planned to tear the leftovers into dough sheets to be cooked together with the wontons later.

Making wontons actually doesn't require much technical skill. Just use chopsticks to pick up a mouthful of filling as big as the tip of your index finger and put it in the middle of the dough. With your other hand, hold the dough, close your five fingers, and use the force of the chopsticks to pull the dough together, so that the remaining meat filling is also gathered into the dough.
