"Mom, are they steamed dumplings?"
Xu Wanning patted the two little guys' black hands and complained unhappily:
"Look how dirty your hands are! Hurry up and let Daddy take you to wash your hands!"
Dabao and Xiaobao stuck out their tongues mischievously, turned around and ran outside.
Han Jinghuai resigned himself to his fate and followed him out to wash the little ones' hands.
Xu Wanning also steamed garlic pork ribs, and made boiled fish, pickled fish, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
The family was having a lively meal around the table.
The shrimp and crab steamed dumplings were delicious, and Dabao and Xiaobao almost ate one in one bite.
Even the picky eater Dumpling ate several.
Xu Xu was even more full of praise, saying that his daughter was just amazing!
"These steamed dumplings are so delicious, with thin skin, rich fillings and delicious soup."
Mother Xu had a kind face. She said that the steamed dumplings were simple to make and delicious, and her grandchildren also liked them. She had been standing next to her daughter when she was making them just now, and had almost learned how to make them.
She plans to make more for the children in the next few days.
"Ningning, we can make shrimp and crab dumplings more often in the future. I see that the shrimp and crabs in the river are breeding so densely that if they continue like this, the river might be too crowded to keep them."
Xu Wanning smiled. Shrimps and crabs did reproduce very quickly and grew surprisingly fast.
But fortunately, everyone in my family likes to eat shrimps, crabs, and various seafood and fish.
"Okay, but we can also make spicy crab and braised prawns."
"Crabs are too cold, so you can eat them with some rice wine to ward off the cold!"
Xu's mother recalled the past few years when everyone was very poor and was reluctant to use salt and oil when cooking.
Therefore, the fish, shrimp and crabs caught from the river are very unpalatable, so gradually people stop eating fish and shrimp.
"How about this, we'll have fish balls tomorrow, and Mom will cook them herself!"
"Ningning, don't you love fish balls the most? Mom will make some more for you tomorrow."
Xu Wanning nodded. Xu's mother was an expert at making fish balls. Even she couldn't make such delicious fish balls.
"Okay, Mom, the fish balls you made are so delicious, I'm sure my little one will like them too!"
"Little Dumpling, don't you think so?"
The little boy drooled and smiled, looking at his mother with a confused look.
"Mom, eat..."
Mother Xu looked at him tenderly and couldn't help but touch the little girl's head.
"Okay, okay, grandma will make fish balls for you tomorrow."
The little dumpling nudged himself into Xu Wanning's arms and then yawned.
Xu Wanning smiled lightly and walked towards the palace not far away with the little girl in her arms.
"Little Dumpling, aren't you sleepy?"
"Come on, mom will take you to your room to sleep."
After coaxing the little girl to sleep, Xu Wanning got busy. Together with Han Jinghuai, she watered the wild ginseng in the space, then dug a few more wild ginseng and started making ginseng beauty cream.
She also planted rosemary, centella asiatica, etc. in her space. These things can be used to make pure dew, or added to facial masks and snow creams.
These things are good for the skin, and Centella asiatica can also reduce skin inflammation. She plans to use these things to make some skin care products and facial masks.
Anyway, these things are cheaper than wild ginseng and reproduce quickly, so there is no need to worry about running out of roots.
