Chapter 94 Making Dumplings
The neighbor that Zhao Yunxi was talking about was actually Yang Xiuhua.
Yang Xiuhua not only taught her how to make dumplings, but also taught her how to cook, as well as some life skills and so on.
No one is born virtuous; it is learned through hard work. The important thing is, do you have the heart to learn? And Zhao Yunxi studied very seriously.
After the two women entered the kitchen, they began to divide the work.
Zhao Yunxi uses flour to leaven the dough, then rolls it out to make dumpling wrappers.
Liu Lanzhi prepared the fillings for the dumplings. She prepared four kinds of fillings: corn, carrot and pork filling, mushroom and celery filling, leek and pork filling, and lotus root and minced meat filling.
It took some time to prepare so many things.
Forty minutes later, everything was ready and we could make dumplings.
Zhao Jiaying and Shen Linghao came over to join in the fun, shouting, “Mommy, Aunt Shen, Yingbao also wants to help make dumplings…”
Liu Lanzhi smiled and said: "Ying Bao can also make dumplings???"
Zhao Jiaying said in a childish tone, "Of course, Yingbao often helped Mommy and Aunt Xiuhua make dumplings before. Aunt Xiuhua even praised Yingbao for making dumplings very well, right, Mommy?"
Zhao Yunxi scratched Zhao Jiaying's nose, leaving her face covered with flour.
"Yes, Yingbao is the best!"
Then he handed Zhao Jiaying some dumpling skins and asked her to make dumplings.
Zhao Jiaying learned how to make dumplings from Yang Xiuhua. As Zhao Jiaying was smart and dexterous, she learned it after just a few tries.
Now she wraps better than any of them.
Zhao Jiaying took a piece of wrapper and spread it on his little palm. Then he scooped a small spoonful of corn, carrot and pork filling and put it on the dumpling wrapper, and then pinched it like a real dumpling.
You know what, Zhao Jiaying was quite good at pinching the dough. In no time, she had finished making a corn dumpling.
Shen Linghao had been watching from the side, looking very curious. Seeing this, Zhao Jiaying asked, "Brother Linghao, can you make dumplings???"
This question stumped Shen Linghao. As a young master who had never done any housework, he naturally would not do such things.
But if he directly answered no, would Zhao Jiaying dislike him?
So he answered like this: "Brother also wants to learn how to make dumplings, can Ying Bao teach brother???"
Hearing this, Zhao Jiaying felt a sense of pride. Finally, there was one aspect in which she was better than Shen Linghao.
She said excitedly: "Of course, Yingbao will teach you how to make dumplings right now."
He took a piece of dumpling wrapper, put it in Shen Linghao's hand, and then guided him step by step. He looked like a master teaching his apprentice, very seriously, and Shen Linghao was also learning seriously.
Liu Lanzhi felt very pleased when she saw her son seriously learning how to make dumplings. In the past, his son was unwilling to touch anything and was so obsessed with mysophobia that he became a psychopath.
Now, I am willing to make dumplings by myself.
All the credit goes to Zhao Jiaying. It was her appearance that turned Shen Linghao back into a normal person.
Therefore, she became more determined that arranging this marriage for Shen Linghao was a very correct choice.
After a while, Shen Linghao made dumplings according to the method taught by Zhao Jiaying, and the dumplings were finally made. However, it looks completely different from the one Zhao Jiaying wrapped.
You know what, this kind of skill seems to be very easy. But in actual operation, some skills are still needed.
Shen Linghao sighed: He really is not cut out for the kitchen!
Although the dumplings he made were not that good-looking, at least they were wrapped tightly and the stuffing inside would not show through.
Zhao Yunxi and Liu Lanzhi also praised him, saying that it was quite good that he could wrap it like this for the first time.
Even Zhao Jiaying praised him: "Brother Ling Hao is good, and he is teachable!"
Shen Linghao responded politely: “Master Yingbao taught me well…”
“Hehehe…”
Everyone laughed happily.
From time to time, laughter could be heard in the restaurant. Shen Changfeng and Ou Zichen, who were sitting in the living room chatting, could no longer sit still and walked to the restaurant to find out what was going on. They wanted to know why they were so happy!
As a result, I saw two adults and two children making dumplings.
Seeing them coming, Zhao Jiaying picked up a freshly wrapped dumpling and said proudly, "Daddy, Uncle Shen, look, this is the dumpling that Yingbao made. Do they look good?"
Shen Changfeng gave her a thumbs up and said, "Yingbao is amazing. She can actually make dumplings so beautiful!"
Ou Zichen: "Well, it's wrapped very well!"
So, the two grown men decided to join them, rolled up their sleeves and started learning how to make dumplings.
But this stumped the two big bosses. Just now they saw them wrap it quickly and easily, so it would be easy to wrap it in the future. When it finally came to them, they realized that this was much more difficult than signing a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Liu Lanzhi directly attacked Shen Changfeng: "President Shen, didn't you say you were omnipotent? How come today, you were stumped by this little dumpling? How is it? Are you upset?"
Shen Changfeng immediately admitted his mistake: "Wife, I was wrong. I will never dare to speak so arrogantly again!"
When it comes to business and work, he is indeed omnipotent. But who would have thought that a small kitchen thing could be so difficult?
The conversation between the couple caused everyone to laugh.
The result of making dumplings was obviously not ideal, but the process was quite enjoyable. It not only deepens the relationship between couples, but also promotes friendship among friends!
After more than an hour, all the dumplings were finally wrapped.
There were all kinds of shapes, but only the dumplings made by Liu Lanzhi, Zhao Yunxi and Zhao Jiaying looked decent.
The ones wrapped by Shen Changfeng, Shen Linghao and Ou Zichen were a bit horrible, and they were barely held together.
They sighed once again: It turns out that the kitchen belongs to women!
After wrapping the dumplings, the next step is to cook them.
After the setback they had just experienced, the three men did not dare to continue helping, for fear of ruining the finished product that they had worked so hard to make.
Zhao Jiaying was still too young to help much, so she had to sit at the dining table with Shen Changfeng, Shen Linghao and Ou Zichen, waiting for food.
As a result, the kitchen became the territory of the two women, Liu Lanzhi and Zhao Yunxi, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.
Boiling dumplings is much simpler and easier than making them, and naturally takes less time.
After about twenty minutes, all the dumplings were cooked. Liu Lanzhi and Zhao Yunxi brought them out one plate at a time and placed them on the dining table.
There are steamed, boiled and pan-fried ones.
Zhao Jiaying was already very hungry, and looking at the plates of delicious dumplings on the table, he couldn't help swallowing.
