"We need to cook them quickly, otherwise the dumpling wrappers will dry out."
Uncle Zhong remembered that his young mistress had wanted something sour, so he quickly took the dumplings from her.
Jiang Si thought that he hadn't eaten much that morning, so she asked, "Would you like some noodles? There's still some in the pot."
The New Year's Eve dinner, as the name suggests, is the main event in the evening.
So I simply made some noodles for lunch.
"I'll eat yours."
Huo Tingzhou brought over the noodles she hadn't finished, saying, "Save some room for dumplings later. The dumpling filling that Chief Steward Shen makes is absolutely amazing."
There weren't many noodles; they were finished in just a few bites.
The dumplings were ready in no time.

Jiang Si nodded, and was instantly amazed after taking a bite.
I never expected sauerkraut dumplings to be so delicious.

Jiang Si didn't refuse; she simply slipped a red envelope to the other party's grandson.
It's not much money, just a token amount.
After seeing off Quartermaster Shen's wife, it was already quite late.
Hearing the firecrackers going off one after another in the family compound, the three generations of the family quickly got to work.
Jiang Si originally planned to have a simple New Year's Eve dinner.
After all, there are only four people in the family, and with the hot weather, we can't finish cooking too much.
To everyone's surprise, Uncle San and Uncle Zhong waved their hands in response.
"That won't do. The New Year should look like the New Year."
"Besides, this year is your first year after getting married."
"It's okay to cook more food; consider it as having abundance every year."
