After Qiao Jiangxin's dumpling wrappers were ready and Gu Yunzhou's meat stuffing was chopped, Qiao Jiangxin taught the two how to make dumplings while saying, "In addition to donkey meat dumplings, there is another kind of dumplings that is also delicious."
When it comes to food, Liu Xinyan is the most excited. "If you say it's delicious, it must be delicious. What?"
Qiao Jiangxin thought, "The dumplings with three fresh fillings are made with three-inch long live shrimps. Pull off the heads and squeeze out the shrimp meat, then wrap them in dumplings with fried chives and eggs. If the shrimps are pregnant, I tell you, the taste is incredible."
Liu Xinyan shouted, "I really want to eat it, but it's not easy to find prawns in this small town. We must try it when we go to the city."
Qiao Jiangxin smiled and continued, "Then don't waste the remaining shrimp heads. Fry them to make shrimp oil, and then use the shrimp oil to fry dumplings. The aroma will attract cats and dogs in half the village. If you pair these fried dumplings with a sip of Laojiao wine, you will forget all the sorrows of the world."
The three of them worked for the whole afternoon, and placed the white dumplings in the winnowing basket. Because there was enough filling, Qiao Jiangxin's dumplings were not big, but the fillings were big. They were round like little puffer fish, and each one was lined up neatly like an angry little puffer fish.
Liu Xinyan and Gu Yunzhou's dumplings always leaked the filling and put less stuffing. Compared with Qiao Jiangxin's dumplings, not only did they look weird in shape, but they also looked malnourished.
Looking at the dumplings he made, Gu Yunzhou said awkwardly, "Here, I made these myself, I will eat them later."
Liu Xinyan was stunned for a moment, and quickly threw away the half-wrapped dumplings, "I don't want to eat the ones I made myself, they are ugly and unappetizing."
Gu Yunzhou glanced at the dumplings in front of Liu Xinyan and said, "You have no appetite, so we have even less appetite. We will use a small steamer to put them in for you later."
Liu Xinyan......
The dumplings were steamed, and Qiao Jiangxin prepared a large bowl of hot and sour soup.
As soon as the food was on the table, Liu Xinyan and Gu Yunzhou each poured themselves a bowl of soup.
After drinking a bowl of soup, his face turned red, sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his whole body began to warm up. Then he leisurely picked up the fried dumplings, dipped them in soy sauce and vinegar, and put them into his mouth.
Gu Yunzhou ate his dumplings and glanced at Liu Xinyan who was working hard, and guided the topic, "These donkey meat steamed dumplings are delicious, better than those made by the best chef in Jeju. Xinyan said she wanted to go with you this afternoon."
Liu Xinyan just remembered this and quickly asked Qiao Jiangxin, "Jiang Xin, when are you going to the city?"
Qiao Jiangxin thought, "I plan to go up and take a look tomorrow. There are no guests at home. My grandpa said that Chu Yi has just come to my house."
Liu Xinyan quickly raised her hand, "We'll go with you. It just so happens that there's a Chinese medicine hospital and a people's hospital in front of your store. For Brother Gu's sake, we plan to find a house in town. It will be more convenient for Brother Gu to go to the hospital in the future. He can also come to Gaoshi Village when he's not busy."
Gu Yunzhou took the opportunity to clench his fist and put it against his mouth and coughed twice.
Qiao Jiangxin glanced at him with concern without thinking much about it.
She knew that Gu Yunzhou had to go to the hospital for a checkup every once in a while.
"That's great. We can keep each other company. When my restaurant closes at night, I can continue to ask Brother Gu for help with my studies." Qiao Jiangxin said with a hint of flattery in her tone and smiled at Gu Yunzhou.
Gu Yunzhou looked calm on the surface, but his emotions suddenly jumped from sixty percent to as high as full.
He cleared his throat and said calmly, "Well, I don't have anything to do anyway. If you don't understand anything, just come and ask me."
