Chapter 34 Making Dumplings (1)
Dongfang Ling knew that her brother would not be so easily moved, but when she thought about how cute the doll was, what if she was bullied when she was not by her side? Dongfang Ling thought about it and looked at her brother.
"Brother, you just accepted Xinxin's gift, you should thank Xinxin!" The doll is so cute, if the brother sees the doll, he might soften his heart and agree to let her transfer to another department.
"You've already thanked him, haven't you?"
"No, I am me and you are you, and I didn't eat a single bite, it was all eaten by your brother." It makes me sad to think that my brother embezzled the whole box of snacks.
Dongfang Ze thought about it. His sister liked Mu Qingxin so much. When she went to college, according to her personality, she would definitely pester her. He didn't know what kind of person that girl was. He really had to see her with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ze put down the book in his hand and stood up. "You guys stay here, you don't have to follow." Looking at his sister who was still in a daze, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't we going to say thank you? Why don't you lead the way?"
Dongfang Ling didn't expect her brother to agree so quickly. She quickly stood up and pulled her brother along, fearing that he would change his mind. "It's very close. Let's go."
"This is it, isn't it close?" Dongfang Ling held her brother's hand with one hand and knocked on the door with the other, "Xinxin, I'm here again!"
Mu Qingxin and Ou Xuemei, who had just chopped the dumpling stuffing and were preparing to make the dumpling wrappers in the house, heard the sound outside the door. They looked at each other, dropped the things in their hands and did not put them in. Anyway, after what happened last time, the leaders all knew that the daughter of the Mu family liked to study and cook ancient rice, so there was nothing to hide.
"Lingling, you're here. Who is this?" Ou Xuemei opened the door and asked when she saw the handsome and elegant man next to Dongfang Ling.
"Hello, Auntie. This is my brother. He just had some snacks made by Xinxin. They were so delicious. I came here to thank you."
"Hello, Madam Mu. Lingling has a somewhat erratic personality, so please forgive me. Also, your snacks are really delicious, thank you. This is our home-grown tea, so please accept it." Dongfang Ze said with a smile, handing the prepared tea to Ou Xuemei, his aristocratic and well-educated aura revealed.
Ou Xuemei accepted it generously. She understood the importance of reciprocity and realized that they probably didn't want to owe her a favor. At the same time, she was amazed at what kind of family the Dongfang family was that could raise such an outstanding child, better than her own three brats. "No, no, I really like Lingling's personality. My daughter likes her too. Please come in."
Dongfang Ling was not polite and directly pulled her brother into the house. She had not seen the doll yet. The first thing she saw when she entered the house was Mu Qingxin walking over. Dongfang Ling immediately let go of her brother's hand, ran to Mu Qingxin, and said happily.
"Xinxin, this is my brother. Thank you for the snacks you just gave him. By the way, we forgot to exchange contact information. We need to keep in touch at any time, otherwise we won't be able to find you after we get off the boat." Dongfang Ling kept talking and had completely forgotten about her brother behind her.
Dongfang Ze shook his head helplessly. Seeing Mu Qingxin smiling the whole time and patiently listening to her sister chattering, he felt relieved. This girl was relatively simple and would not hurt her sister by being with her. She really looked like a doll. No wonder Lingling liked her so much.
Dongfang Ling and Mu Qingxin added each other's contact information before stopping.
"Huh? What is that?" Dongfang Ling looked up and saw something strange in the corner of the lounge, something he had never seen before.
Dongfang Ze was also very curious. He had seen it a long time ago, but since it was not his, he did not ask any questions.
Ou Xuemei poured the tea and brought it over, the fragrant aroma of tea emanated from it, "Come, have some tea, your tea smells so good."
"Thank you for the compliment. It's just one of our own." Dongfang Ze took it and put it on the table.
"Come and sit down, come and sit down. Xinxin is making dumplings for lunch today. Why don't you eat here and try Xinxin's cooking skills?" Ou Xuemei invited with a smile, and at the same time she was amazed at the tea she had just received. There are very few normal plants in the interstellar space now. People usually drink processed tea or boiled water. She didn't expect that the Dongfang family could actually grow tea trees.
"Dumplings? What is that?" Dongfang Ling had never heard of it before and looked at Mu Qingxin with wide eyes.
"It's a food from the ancient Blue Planet. In ancient times, dumplings held a special meaning," Dongfang Ze said thoughtfully. Seeing the three people's surprised looks, he explained, "I happened to see an ancient book at home that introduced it. I was delighted to see Mu Qingxin in person today. I didn't expect that someone in this world still knew about Earth's food. "Dumplings do have a special meaning. It's a tradition to eat dumplings for New Year's Eve, but the customs of eating dumplings vary from place to place. Some places eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, others on the first day of the new year. Eating dumplings is a unique way for people to express their wishes as they bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The homophonic sound of "jiaozi" (dumpling) means the moment when the new year intersects with the old. Eating dumplings during the Spring Festival signifies good fortune. Also, dumplings are shaped like ingots, so making dumplings means enclosing good luck."
After hearing Mu Qingxin's words, the three of them fell into deep thought. They had never expected such a simple dish to have so many details. Mu Qingxin turned back to making the dumpling wrappers. "Try these famous dumplings today. I guarantee you'll fall in love with them!"
"I didn't expect that Sister Xinxin could actually cook ancient food." Dongfang Ze looked at Mu Qingxin with an inquiring look.
Mu Qingxin didn't care about the inquiry in Dongfang Ze's words and shrugged her shoulders. "I just read too many books and wanted to try it, so I did some research."
"Oh? I wonder what book Sister Xinxin is reading. Let me, your brother, take a look at it." Dongfang Ze thought that the collection of books in the entire galaxy was not as large as that of the Dongfang family. He had never seen any book introducing the recipes of ancient food. Even if there was, the ingredients of the past had become extinct. How could it be possible to make them?
"Haha, I also forgot where I saw it. Anyway, after I regained consciousness, these things appeared in my mind." You can't possibly find out what books I read when I was a fool.
"." Dongfang Ze was speechless.
Dongfang Ling saw her brother was speechless for the first time, and she secretly covered her mouth and laughed. Of course, she had to consider her brother's face, so she hurriedly said, "Xinxin, you are so amazing. If there is anything I can help you with, just tell me."
"Of course. After the dumpling wrappers are ready, you can make dumplings too."
"Great, great." Dongfang Ling was very happy to hear that she could also make dumplings. She watched Xinxin's movements from the side, and the more she watched, the more magical it seemed to her.
"Wow, that's amazing."
Mu Qingxin was seen dividing a large ball of dough into small pieces. With a turn of the rolling pin, a round dumpling wrapper was formed. She did it very quickly. The three people watching were stunned. After a while, the table was piled with dumpling wrappers.
