Chapter 109 Making Dumplings

On the third day of their journey, Yunli was teaching Baizhi how to make dumplings in the carriage at noon.

I was bored and killed some time along the way. Although there are a lot of frozen dumplings in the space, the handmade ones taste better!

The dumpling wrappers were readily available at the supermarket, so she only prepared the dumpling fillings. She made two fillings, one with leeks, eggs, and shrimp, and the other with celery and beef.

Bai Zhi looked at the rows of plump dumplings neatly arranged on the chopping board and said, "Miss, each one looks like a small ingot, so beautiful!"

"Yeah, look at what you've wrapped now, it's much better looking than before, and it looks very professional!"

"Hehe~ Miss, you taught me well. Miss, how do you cook so many delicious dishes? And I've never even seen any of the food you cook! Not only are they novel, but they're also incredibly delicious!"

"I like to study food. Maybe I have a talent for it. I also like to read books about food."

"Miss, you are so smart!"

"Okay, stop flattering me! Let's have dumplings for lunch today! Ask An Ye to find a flat place where we can make a fire, and then we can have lunch!"

"Yes, miss!"

Yun Li counted and found that she had made three hundred dumplings in total. An Ye and An Bai had big appetites, so forty would be enough for each of them. She and Bai Zhi each had twenty, but she was actually full after fifteen! She added a dozen more and stored the remaining one hundred or so in her space.

They have been traveling day and night these days, and all they eat are snacks and bread. Let's have something hot today, and then we can give them a few boxes of instant noodles to try when we have dinner in the afternoon.

The night stopped at an open space next to a stream. There were stones on the river bank, so we could put a pot on it and start a fire to boil water.

An Bai said, "Princess, I'll go pick up some branches nearby."

"Well, go ahead, but come back quickly! Don't go too far."

"Yes! Princess!"

Every day she hears An Ye and An Bai calling her "Princess" and "Princess". She has become numb to it and has solemnly told them not to call her that and to just call her "Miss Yun". However, no matter what she says, they still call her "Princess".

After a few days, she has gotten used to it. Apart from this, it must be said that the people trained by the King have strong execution and great abilities.

…

While An Ye and An Bai were not paying attention, and Bai Zhi was covering them, Yun Li took a large bucket of mineral water from the space and cooked dumplings.

She was afraid to drink the water she drew from the river in the dark night, mainly because she was afraid of bacteria in the raw water.

The fire is very strong, and the dumplings are cooked very quickly. They are cooked when they float up.

The snack plates used, each person scooped up a plate

Yun Li handed a plate to An Ye and An Bai, "Here~ Come and try it!"

An Bai smiled and said, "Princess, what was the name of this food you mentioned just now? It looks delicious because it's white and plump! When you were wrapping it in the carriage, I could smell it through the curtain. It was so delicious. I've been craving it for a long time on the road, and now I can finally eat it."

“This is called dumplings!”

“Dumplings, why are they called dumplings?”

"Well... because they're round and look like a gold ingot. Eating dumplings during festivals has a beautiful meaning. For example, eating dumplings during Chinese New Year symbolizes reunion and happiness!"

An Bai's mouth was full of oil as he ate. "I see! These dumplings are really delicious! My mouth is full of juice! The filling combined with the dough is so delicious! One by one!"

Yunli filled two plates of dumplings and prepared to take them to the carriage to eat. They were for her and Baizhi!

Before getting in the car, he said to Anye and Anybai: "What's left in the pot is for you two, eat it up!"

"Yes! Princess!"

"Thank you, Princess!"

She was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable eating with her around.

Before the two children started cooking, Yunli had already prepared the milk powder for Baizhi to feed them. So at this moment, the two children were looking left and right in the stroller, looking out the window with curiosity.

The two little babies didn't cry or make a fuss along the way. They ate and slept soundly. This was what made Yun Li most happy.

"Miss, these dumplings are delicious!"

Bai Zhi also ate one by one with great satisfaction. There was still one left in the bowl, and she said with a sense of satisfaction:

"Do you want more? There's still some in the pot. Let An Ye and the other two give you a few pieces!"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "No more! Don't be greedy. I've gained weight eating and drinking with the young lady in the carriage all the way! Anye and Anye still have to drive the carriage, so let's save the food for them since they've worked the hardest!"

Yun Li nodded: "I have plenty here, anytime you want to eat!"

As the two were talking, a sharp and impatient voice came

"The bird is starving! The bird is starving! Quick! Water! Water! Water!"

After hearing this, Yunli happily looked towards the sky outside the window.

The swift flew straight towards her and landed on her arm.

"Master! I finally found you! Hurry up and give the bird some water! It's dying of thirst!"

Yun Li smiled and touched the swift's feathers, took out its drinking bowl from the space, and poured a full bowl of spiritual spring water into it.

He placed it on the table and motioned for the swift to come in and drink: "Drink!"

At this time, An Ye asked from outside the carriage: "Princess, I heard someone talking in the carriage. It doesn't sound like Miss Bai Zhi's voice. Am I hallucinating?"

"Someone is talking, but it's not a person! You'll know when you come in and take a look."

Dark Night and Dark White both opened the curtain outside the carriage and looked inside to see a large bird drinking water on the table.

The big swift tilted its head and looked at the two of them and said, "You two fools, it's me who's speaking! Humph!"

After that, he continued to drink water. An Ye and An Bai were shocked and their faces were messy in the wind.

An Bai pointed at the swift and said, "This...this...this bird must have become a spirit!"

The big swift opened his mouth and spit out: "You are the one who has become a spirit! You are a fool, and your whole family is a big fool!"

An Bai was about to open his mouth to argue

Yun Li held her forehead in her hand speechlessly and said to Anye and Anybai, "Stop arguing with it. We still need it to deliver messages to your prince! It's much faster than us!"

Hearing this, Big Swift turned to look at Yun Li and asked, "You want the bird to do things again?"

Yun Li nodded: "This matter is extremely urgent. We really can't do it without you. Once you have eaten and drunk enough, go to the Northwest Military Camp and deliver a message!"

The swift flapped its wings and circled in the air above the carriage: "Master, you don't take the bird seriously! The bird is protesting! The bird needs a rest! The bird is dying of exhaustion!"

Yun Li glanced at the swift and said coldly: "Protests are useless! I don't support idle people, let alone idle birds."

The big swift's eyes rolled around. "Two bowls of water! Three strips of meat!"

"make a deal!"

The conversation between a man and a bird left Baizhi, Anye, and Anbai dumbfounded.

An Bai asked, "Princess, what kind of divine bird is this? I want to get one to play with, it's so interesting!"

"Swift!"

After the words fell, An Ye and An Bai were shocked and speechless again.

An Ye pointed at the swift and stuttered, asking in disbelief: "This... this... is this the legendary swift?"

The great swift said arrogantly: "Humph! You don't even show respect to me when you see me?"

Yun Li's mouth twitched, and she raised her hand and patted Dayun's forehead.
