Chapter 163 Why are dumplings so strange?

The shrimp dumplings and beef and scallion dumplings were also packed. After keeping some for himself, the dumplings were packed. Ye Muqi took out the dumpling dip and chili sauce that he had made earlier and asked Rong Jingchen to take them along.

There wasn't a pot big enough at home to cook so many dumplings, so the dumplings we sent to them were raw and they were cooked in the army canteen before eating.

Rong Jingchen and Yu Jianguo both carried their hands full of dumplings and sent them to the troops together.

"After the New Year, you and Xiaoye will get married, right? How are the preparations going? Just let me know if there's anything I can help with." Yu Jianguo walked with him and couldn't help but mention the wedding.

Many people knew that Rong Jingchen was going to hold a wedding for Ye Muqi. During the period before the New Year, Rong Jingchen had been busy with this matter in addition to his military affairs.

"Everything is almost ready, with only a few minor details still to be perfected." Rong Jingchen nodded, his brows softened when he mentioned the upcoming wedding.

"Is it right to do it here?" Yu Jianguo asked again, worried.

Rong Jingchen nodded, and he brought his mother and Ye Muqi's parents over, of course to hold the wedding here.

"That's good. The brothers are all looking forward to your wedding. Let's have a great time." Yu Jianguo was satisfied and nodded with a smile.

The two men arrived at the army. Because it was New Year's Day, red lanterns were hung in the army, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

"Political Commissar, Commander Rong." Lin Zihua was suddenly called out. Looking at the two people who should be at home, he was a little surprised.

"It's New Year's Day, and I made some dumplings at home. I'd like to send some over for you." Yu Jianguo said, handing him the dumplings in his hand.

Rong Jingchen passed the dumplings in his hand to Yin Daquan who was following him. Lin Zihua couldn't carry it all by himself, so the two of them came to deliver it and called two people to pick it up.

When Lin Zihua saw so many dumplings, he knew they were specially packed and sent. No one would pack so many dumplings for no reason.

He was very moved. He didn't expect that the political commissar and the regiment commander were still thinking about them during the New Year.

"Where is Chen Hong?" Rong Jingchen asked with some confusion when he saw that only two of them came over.

According to Chen Hong's personality, even if he wasn't called, he would definitely come out to join in the fun, but Chen Hong didn't come out now, which was very strange.

"He took a leave to go home, saying that he wanted to go on a blind date. He also said that he would bring a wife back after the Chinese New Year," Yin Daquan responded.

Thinking of how Chen Hong acted arrogantly in front of them when he asked for leave to go back, Yin Daquan even curled his lips in disgust.

"So fast?" Yu Jianguo was a little surprised when he heard it.

Chen Hong had always said before that he wanted to find a wife, and even asked his family to help him find one, but no one took it seriously.

I didn't expect that Chen Hong was serious about it, and he went on a blind date right after the Chinese New Year. Who knows, he might really have a new wife when he comes back after the Chinese New Year.

"He was very worried and called home every few days," Lin Zihua added.

"Let's go eat dumplings." Yu Jianguo waved his hand, ready to go back to eat dumplings.

He was curious about what the shrimp dumplings with beef and scallions tasted like.

"The dumplings made by my sister-in-law must be better than ordinary dumplings." Yin Daquan muttered, and couldn't wait to see the dumplings in the bag.

Lin Zihua also went to see them, and was immediately confused: "Are these dumplings? Why do they look so strange?"

"Why isn't it a dumpling?" Yu Jianguo immediately turned around and glared at Lin Zihua with dissatisfaction, "I made it, do you have any opinion on it?"

"No...no." Lin Zihua shook his head quickly.

He knew he should compliment them at this moment, but looking at those dumplings that didn't fit in with the surroundings, he couldn't utter a single word. He shook his head and dared not say another word.

Among those ugly dumplings, there was one made by Rong Jingchen, but he didn’t say anything. However, his demeanor turned cold.

Lin Zihua and Yin Daquan didn't dare to say anything and just watched Rong Jingchen and Yu Jianguo go back in silence.

Only after the two men had gone so far away that even their figures could no longer be seen did they both breathe a sigh of relief, holding the dumplings.

"The political commissar doesn't even know how to make dumplings, right? Will I get poisoned if I eat these dumplings?" Only then did Lin Zihua dare to complain to Yin Daquan.

"The filling should be made by my sister-in-law. Although it doesn't look good, it should still be edible." Yin Daquan responded, but he obviously couldn't bear to look at those ugly dumplings.

The two of them carried the dumplings and quickly went to the cafeteria and cooked them all.

The white dumplings floated up and down in the pot, and the aroma of the dumplings soon wafted out. The cafeteria seemed to be filled with warmth, and the soldiers who received the news came to the cafeteria.

There are half as many people as usual. Married people basically don't stay in the army, but spend the New Year at their families' homes. Some of them go back home to celebrate the New Year during their holidays.

Most of the people who remain in the army now are singles who are not married and have no vacation time.

"These ugly dumplings broke when they were boiled. The skin was cooked away and they turned into meatballs." Lin Zihua looked at the dumplings with broken skins in the pot with a look of disgust.

The cooked dumplings were taken out and a new pot was cooked. There were too many dumplings, and even if they were cooked in the cafeteria's pot, it was still not enough.

"It's time to eat dumplings!" Yin Daquan shouted, and several large plates of dumplings were brought over. Everyone took their bowls and chopsticks and helped themselves to the dumplings.

The dumpling dipping sauce and chili sauce prepared by Ye Muqi were placed on the side, and everyone could add their own.

"You guys, leave some for me!" Lin Zihua rushed over with chopsticks in his hand to grab it.

Those dumplings that were cooked to pieces were rejected by everyone, so everyone picked the good ones first. So many pairs of chopsticks were used to grab them, and each person grabbed a few. Only a few meatballs with broken skin were left on the plate.

The meatballs stayed on the plate for a short while before they were finally taken away by someone, leaving the first pot of dumplings empty.

"This dumpling is really delicious. Not only does it taste good, it's filled with so much meat, and the dumpling is this big. It's really rare." Someone couldn't help but sigh, and the delicious taste lingered in his mouth after eating it.

Ye Muqi gave enough meat fillings. Each dumpling has a thin skin and a lot of fillings. It is almost impossible not to be very satisfied after eating it.

"This is the first time I've eaten dumplings with shrimp inside. There's a whole shrimp inside the meat. It's so delicious with this sauce!"

There were many people praising the food, and each of them stared at the dumplings still cooking in the pot, unable to forget the taste they had just tasted.

The second pot of dumplings was cooked quickly and there was enough left for another pot. Everyone held chopsticks in their hands and started to fight fiercely for the dumplings that had just been served.

In the end, not only were all the dumplings eaten, but there wasn't even any dipping sauce left.
