Tisilan Mountains at night, Rabbit Ear School.
Bright candlelight shone through the classroom windows. Some figures were moving around, and the candlelight flickered like stars in the mountains at night.
The students who should have gone home after school did not leave today. Instead, they informed their families and stayed in school to participate in the evening activities.
Several children aged 12-13 were kneading fist-sized dough on the table. Mira and Aaliyah walked past them from time to time and showed them how to knead the dough.
In fact, they had just learned it, and it was Loran Hill who taught them. At this time, the silver-haired girl had tied her hair up and pulled up her sleeves. She pressed the round dough with her white wrists and occasionally sprinkled a little flour dust on the table to prevent it from sticking.
Loran Hill is teaching these rabbits how to make dumplings today. The first step is naturally to knead the dough.
First, clean the table and prepare the tools such as the basin. Then pour the flour into a clean basin, add the flour, add the appropriate amount of salt, and then prepare cold water. Slowly add water, stirring the flour with your hands while adding water to make sure it is evenly coated. (If you use cold water, the dumpling skin will not break easily.)
Stop adding water when the flour has almost formed into small flakes. Press these flakes of flour into a rough ball with your hands, then pick up the ball and continue kneading it on the table. If the dough is too soft, sprinkle more flour on the table and mix it in. When it feels about the same hardness, stop sprinkling.
Keep kneading until there is no raw dough in the dough (that is, it is still powdery and not fully integrated) and the texture is soft and uniform. Then you can stop kneading the dough into a ring shape and continue to roll it into long strips.
After rolling it into long white strips, Loran Hill stood in front of the table with a group of children watching. She smiled and took out a small knife.
Use a knife to cut the long white strips of flour into small cylindrical pieces. Each small piece is about the same length and width, and looks like cubes from a distance.
"Then turn each piece over, right, like a thick round cake, and flatten it with a thick wooden stick."
As Loran Hill spoke, he used a small rolling pin to roll a small dough into a round dumpling wrapper, and then held up the rolled round wrapper to show everyone.
“How magical~”
"Your Highness is amazing~"
"I want to try it, too."
A group of children stared at the round dough in the hand with wide eyes.
Like humans, the rabbit-eared people used to eat flour by simply baking it into bread. They rarely made it into various shapes like the silver-haired girl showed. Now many children wanted to try making it.
"Everyone can try it yourself." Loran Hill also encouraged, and then a group of children surrounded Mira and Alia to get the rolling pin.
But no one had thought of this kind of thing beforehand, and the two rabbit-eared girls didn't know what to do. Seeing this, Loran Hill simply took out his "witch wand", which was the wooden wand he had taken off in the morning.
A few flashes of red light passed by, and the slender wooden stick was cut into several pieces. Several students shared one, and the problem was finally solved.
The rabbits present followed suit, some kneading the dough, some rolling it into strips, some cutting it into pieces, and some rolling it out. They each divided the work, and when some got tired of doing it, they would swap tasks with each other to experience each step.
Although the dough rolled out by the little rabbits are of different sizes, they are generally usable. Even if some of them are in odd shapes, it doesn’t matter, you can just knead them together and work on them again.
While the group of children were excitedly trying out the stuffing, Loran Hill also instructed Mira and Aaliyah to prepare the dumpling filling. Then she walked back and forth in front of several tables to see the progress of each group's work. If there was something the little rabbits didn't know how to do, she would teach them step by step.
By the time the students had almost finished rolling out the dough, two rabbit-eared girls arrived with the prepared dumpling fillings. One bowl had corn and radish filling, another had mushroom and meat filling, and of course, there was the damned leek and egg filling.
At this time, the children gathered around Loran Hill again to watch how she operated.
"First, spread the dough on the palm of your hand, then use a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of filling and place it in the center of the dough. Don't be greedy and put too much filling, or it will burst."
Loran Hill demonstrated by putting a spoonful of corn and radish kernels in it, then reaching his fingertips into the bowl beside him, dipped a little water in it, smeared it on the edge of the dumpling wrapper half a circle, then folded it in half and pressed it into a half moon shape, and placed it on the table.
"This is the simplest way to wrap it~" Loran Hill said happily. She also learned it this way in the beginning.
"But I hope everyone won't be bound by tradition. Actually, all you need to do is wrap the filling in the wrapper."
After saying that, Loran Hill quickly started making dumplings, and soon there were 7-8 dumplings of different shapes on the table.
Some are triangular and diamond-shaped, some are square with a cross-shaped seal in the middle, some look like starfish with five sides and five edges, some are like buns with a ring-shaped mountain in the middle, some are like ingots, folded in half and then overlapped and pinched together, and some have seals stacked layered like willow leaves, which are very cute.
Every time Loran Hill made a new shape, the children would cheer and then look at her with great interest, hoping to see new patterns.
"Okay, okay, stop looking at me. That's all I know. You can try it on your own from now on."
After pinching more than twenty shapes, looking at the dumplings in various interesting and cute shapes, Loran Hill was a little out of inspiration. He could only smile helplessly and let the children try it themselves.
