After that, he shouted towards the kitchen, "Uncle Zhong, I want to eat the braised noodles you made."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhong immediately poked his head out of the kitchen happily.
"Well, I'll clean up this pig's head and make you some side dishes for lunch."
"Um!"
Jiang Si smiled and turned to look at Third Uncle, "Third Uncle, do you want me to play a few games with you?"
Apart from sweets, Third Uncle’s biggest hobby is playing chess.
But today, Third Uncle waved his hand contrary to his usual behavior.
"No, no, I don't have time today."
Seeing Jiang Si's face full of question marks, Third Uncle didn't keep her in suspense.
"I asked Laojiu to get me some sea cucumbers and green chives. I'll make some dumplings with sea cucumber stuffing for you guys later!"
In that era, food was not well developed and many people had never even seen something like sea cucumber.
But to my third uncle, this thing is simply the most delicious thing in the world.
Just thinking about it, he was drooling, "Let me tell you, the dumplings made with this are especially delicious. One bite will make your eyebrows drop."
"When you go back later, bring some for your parents-in-law to try. I'm sure they'll like it."
"Third Uncle, we are not going back tonight..."
"That won't do."
Before Jiang Si could finish her next words, she was interrupted by her third uncle.
Although it is a double marriage, as the old saying goes, 'One night's stay means three buckets of poverty'.
The Third Uncle said earnestly, "If you two weren't married, you could stay as many nights as you wanted at home, but now that you're married, you still have to follow the rules passed down by the older generation."
"Also, we'll be going back to Qiongzhou Island in a few days. We don't know when you two will come back next time."
"While you are free now, you should spend more time with your family."
"Be obedient. After lunch, go back early. Don't be willful about this matter."
Jiang Si didn't intend to be willful, she just didn't know much about marriage customs.
Of course, this was also due to the indulgence and love of her parents-in-law.
If they hesitated or frowned at that moment, she could see the clues.
But they said nothing and did everything according to her wishes.
Thinking of this, Jiang Si nodded, "I understand, Third Uncle."
In this way, several people sat in the living room and chatted about family matters for a while.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Third Uncle assigned Huo Tingzhou a job of kneading dough, while he went to the kitchen to prepare sea cucumbers.
Huo Tingzhou is very strong and the dough is very obedient in his hands.
After a while, the noodles became soft.
At this time, Third Uncle also came out of the kitchen with the seasoned dumpling stuffing.
Next, the three of them started busying themselves in the living room.
Seeing Third Uncle just clasp his hands together and make a round, plump Yuanbao dumpling, Jiang Si immediately became interested.
After looking at it for a while, I felt it was quite simple.
At this time, Huo Tingzhou handed over a dumpling wrapper and asked, "Try it?"
Jiang Si took it in her hands confidently.
Seeing that she wanted to learn, Third Uncle stopped and gave her some pointers.
"First, put the dumpling filling in the middle like I did, and then use a spoon to press the dumpling filling firmly."
"Then push with both hands and fold the dumpling wrapper in half."
Up to this point, Jiang Si had learned quite well.
Next comes the step that seems simple but is the most difficult.
"Look."
Third Uncle squeezed the base of his hands slightly, and in the next second, a plump round dumpling was wrapped.
Jiang Si followed suit.
As a result, the expected round dumplings did not appear, and half of the dumpling filling was squeezed out.
But the third uncle closed his eyes and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's already very good for the first time."
Half an hour later, Jiang Si took a look at the strange-shaped dumplings she had made.
He looked at his hands again and couldn't help but doubt himself.
Her hands can depict all aspects of life and depict the light and shadow of all things.
Why is it that when it comes to cooking, there is such a difference?
Huo Tingzhou noticed her emotions at the first moment and shook her hand.
"Wife, please leave me some room to live."
What's the meaning?
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment and looked over there, somewhat confused.
Huo Tingzhou was in no hurry to explain. After putting the dumplings made by Jiang Si into the pot, he looked serious.
"Wife, everyone has his or her own specialty. Your hands were born to paint."
"If you know everything, then wouldn't my family be useless?"
“…”
Well, Jiang Si was speechless.
Soon the steaming dumplings were served on the table. Even though there were only four of them, Uncle San and Uncle Zhong cooked a large table full of dishes.
While the family here was happily eating, on the other side, the Yu family was in chaos.
