The two brothers ate without lifting their heads, and even when their bellies were full, they didn't want to stop.
They only stopped, still wanting more, after all the food on the table had been eaten.
"Mommy, Mommy, can we come again tomorrow?"
The twins hugged Rella, who was standing next to them.
Rella let out a burp, wiped the red oil from the corner of her mouth, and, seeing her mischievous son pleading, wanted to tease them.
The twins looked at their mother without saying a word, their confident expressions gradually turning hesitant. Did their mother not like the older sister's cooking anymore?
Mingming's mother was also very happy eating.
With a quick glance, the older brother, Lesen, saw his grandmother on one side and Ling Miao on the other, and nudged his younger brother with his elbow.
The other person understood and rushed towards Ling Miao, their big eyes blinking, "Sister, can my brother and I come again tomorrow?"
Lesen walked up to his grandmother, hugged her leg, tilted his head back, and blinked his big eyes, saying, "Grandma, my brother and I are very obedient."
Susan looked at this one, then at that one; Rella seemed silent, but her eyes were smiling; Audrey also remained silent, and the two simply watched the twins act coquettishly.
As for Ling Miao, her gaze fell on the large ears that were close to her face.
Her fluffy, dark reddish-black fur had a faint sheen, and she had a fair, round face. She was really struggling to resist the child's soft, sweet voice!
She could tell, of course, that Rella was trying to amuse the child.
Seemingly sensing her wavering, Lerin willingly placed his head into Ling Miao's hands.
Soft, fluffy, and warm.
It feels so good!
Ling Miao screamed inwardly, but remained calm on the surface. Only when she saw Rella nod slightly did she breathe a sigh of relief and feign composure.
"Oh well."
The two children cheered and hugged Ling Miao on either side, saying, "Thank you, sister!"
Ling Miao openly held one in each hand, feeling satisfied. "I should thank Mom."
Neither child was stupid; upon hearing this, they turned around and hugged their mother, saying, "Thank you, Mom."
Rella looked at the child and smiled, then looked up at Ling Miao, "I really have to thank you. I never received this kind of treatment before."
"Mommy, Mommy, we've always been good!"
Seeing their mother expose their shortcomings, the twins became unhappy, their faces flushed red, and they whined softly.
"Okay, okay, you're the best girls. Now, would you like to help tidy up?"
"good!"
The twins spoke in unison, and the group enthusiastically and actively tidied up the table.
Even as they were leaving, the twins were reluctant to part.
"Mom, you must come tomorrow!"
“Come, come,” Rella said, holding one child in each hand. “If you don’t leave now, you won’t come back tomorrow.”
The group left under the moonlight, and the laughter of children could still be heard.
Ling Miao and Susan prepared the ingredients for tomorrow's meal, and after washing them, they got ready for bed.
"By the way," Ling Miao asked Susan, who was still awake, "do you still have things to move over?"
Susan shook her head; she didn't have anything to begin with.
Having come to Tadar alone, and now with this job, she no longer plans to use the monthly allowance her family sends her.
She can support herself and doesn't want to have too much to do with them.
Ling Miao nodded upon hearing this, without saying anything.
Everyone has their own secrets.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Ling Miao woke up.
After washing up, I opened the door and saw Susan in the yard.
The upgraded restaurant's layout is very similar to the traditional buildings Ling Miao saw in the capital in her previous life, with a shop front and a small courtyard in the back.
However, the courtyard was bare and empty.
Ling Miao complained a lot about how stingy the system was.
Susan was also taken aback when she saw her. "Why are you up so early?"
Ling Miao retorted, "Aren't you the same?"
The two exchanged a smile, and Ling Miao raised an eyebrow; "Since you're not going to rest, don't blame me for enslaving you."
Susan winked playfully: "Then bring it on."
The two went into the kitchen, and Ling Miao started her live stream as usual.
It was too early, and only a few people entered the live stream room at a time.
Seeing that the live stream started so early in the morning, everyone began to speak.
This is the first time I've ever seen a streamer start broadcasting so early in the morning.
[The streamer is such a workaholic!]
Why are you streaming so early today?
[I'm asking because I don't understand. Is this my first time watching this streamer's livestream? Do they stream this early every day?]
The live stream was lively, with people chatting in twos and threes.
Ling Miao glanced at it briefly and explained, "Because today's live stream is about breakfast, I'll be up a little earlier."
"From now on, I will announce my live stream a day in advance."
"Today we're going to make crystal dumplings. I've prepared two flavors: fish dumplings and shrimp dumplings."
Ling Miao's hands kept moving. She added a little bit of minced pork to the chopped shrimp paste. To enrich the texture, she also added some chopped bamboo shoots, egg white, scallion and ginger water, salt and pepper, and stirred well. Finally, she added starch and stirred until it became sticky.
The crystal dumplings I made today are reminiscent of the Cantonese dim sum from my past life.
It has a light flavor, a chewy and elastic dough, and a variety of flavorful fillings.
To cater to everyone, Ling Miao made two flavors. The shrimp dumplings were savory, while the fish dumplings were sweet with red bean paste filling.
The essence of crystal dumplings lies in the dough. Adding wheat starch makes the steamed dough translucent and more elastic than regular dough.
When chewed with lips and teeth, the texture is rich and layered, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
The dough needs to be made fresh. Ling Miao placed the prepared dough on the work surface and kneaded it. With each stretch and pull, the dough changed shape continuously with the movement of her hands.
