It’s a pity that local pigs are not easy to buy. Not only do you need a ticket, but you also need luck.

There are countless people lining up to buy pork every day, and it is not easy to buy pork belly with more fat and less lean meat.

When Su Ruanruan saw the large piece of fat pork belly in the backpack, she gave him a thumbs up sincerely, "Hubby, you are really awesome!"

Such a big piece must weigh at least 10 to 20 kilograms.

Wang Maoni also looked into the basket and said, "Yes, there are quite a few. Ruanruan, you pick the vegetables here and I'll go make lard."

"Okay, Mom, go ahead! I'll take care of the wild vegetables!"

Fu Wenjing carried the backpack and followed Wang Maoni into the kitchen.

After a while, smoke rose from the kitchen roof and the smell of oil wafted out from the kitchen.

After ten minutes, Su Ruanruan waved to the quadruplets.

The little guy immediately ran to Su Ruanruan.

Seeing their exhausted appearance, Su Ruanruan felt distressed, but pretended to be serious and asked, "Have you learned your lesson? Will you make the same mistake again in the future?"

The four little guys shook their furry heads at the same time and answered in unison, "No!"

"It's okay if you don't know how to do it. Go and have fun."

The four little guys didn't leave, but brought small stools over and sat in a circle.

"Mom, we want to help you too."

They were so enthusiastic, Su Ruanruan certainly would not discourage their enthusiasm. She smiled and pushed the basin of wild vegetables forward, picked up a wild vegetable and demonstrated to them, "Okay! Pick off the leaves and put them in the basin, and discard the remaining roots. Have you learned it?"

“I’ve learned it!”

The four of them nodded in unison, and then each of them picked up a wild vegetable.

The one-year-old child is white, tender and chubby all over, including his hands.

One white, chubby hand held the roots of the wild vegetables, and the other hand picked off the leaves one by one and threw them into the pot.

The movements were extremely slow, and sometimes it took several attempts to pull off a single leaf.

Su Runrun just looked at them with a smile. She didn't get anxious or angry because they were slow or poorly done. Instead, she kept working and her speed was even faster than before.

For children of this age, Su Ruanruan didn’t really expect them to be of much help. She just wanted them to have a sense of participation.

It looked like half a basket of wild vegetables was dug up, but after removing the roots, the volume was reduced by half.

After washing it in water, it shrank by half again.

However, there are not many of them, and the quadruplets eat even less. The combined appetite of the four of them is not even as much as that of a half-grown child. They can't eat much at all. These wild vegetables are enough for them to have lunch.

Now is the season when wild vegetables flourish. If you want to eat some, you can go into the mountains and pick the freshest ones. You don’t need to dig too much at a time.

While Su Ruanruan washed the wild vegetables and drained the moisture, Wang Maoni had already boiled the lard and put all the lard residue in a basin.

Fu Wenjing also chopped half of the lean meat into minced meat.

Minced lean meat, lard, chopped fresh shepherd's purse, and chopped green onion and ginger.

Finally, add some salt, soy sauce and a little sesame oil and stir to make the delicious dumpling filling.

Although there are fewer seasonings such as thirteen spices, bun and dumpling ingredients, chicken essence, etc., it is precisely because of the absence of these seasonings that the dumplings taste more authentic and more delicious.

Fu Wenjing had strong hands, so the task of kneading the dough was given to him, and he was also the one who rolled out the dumpling skins.

The dumpling wrappers rolled out by Fu Wenjing were very round and he made them very quickly.

The dumpling skins he rolled by himself were more than enough for Su Ruanruan and Wang Maoni to make dumplings together.

The four kids sitting nearby were eager to try, but neither Su Ruanruan nor Wang Maoni let them do it.

Children all like to do handicrafts, and dough is no different from mud balls to them.

But it was the 1970s, and white flour was extremely rare. Even if a person doted on their children, they would not give them white flour to play with.

Although Su Ruanruan had no shortage of this little bit of white flour, she didn't want the quadruplets to develop any bad habits.

Fortunately, the quadruplets were not the kind of kids who would throw tantrums or act naughty. Even if they wanted to take action, without the adults’ permission, they would just sit there and watch obediently.

Su Ruanruan and Wang Maoni were also very fast at making dumplings. After half an hour, all the dumplings were ready.

It was just past 11 o'clock and there was still some time before the end of work.

Wang Maoni clapped her hands and stood up. "Boil the pot and cook the dumplings. By the time we're done, your father and the others should be back."

This kitchen is very popular right now. When they get off work, we don’t know how crowded it will be. So it is very necessary to cook in advance.

Fortunately, the weather is not very cold now, so the cooked dumplings will not cool down so quickly.

Although Wang Maoni had said when the family was divided that she would be the first to cook every time, Su Runrun still felt that this was very inconvenient.

It’s okay for them not to move out for the time being, but it is still necessary to build a new kitchen.

It’s easy to build a kitchen, but it’s hard to buy an iron pot.

But what if we could buy them an iron pot?

Su Ruanruan thought about it, but was a little hesitant.

If you really want to buy them iron pots, you should buy at least five.

If this matter gets out, people will probably make wild guesses.

Su Ruanruan really didn't want to be too prominent.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps outside the kitchen and they were getting closer and closer.

Su Ruanruan turned her head and saw Liu Xiu'e appear at the door.

As soon as Liu Xiu'e walked to the kitchen door, her eyes began to light up and she swallowed subconsciously.

"Oh my god! They're cooking dumplings! You can tell they were made by my mother. She makes the best-looking dumplings I've ever seen! I can't catch up with her skills!"

As soon as Liu Xiu'e opened her mouth, nice words came out as if they were free of charge.

Seeing her like this, Su Runrun had nothing to understand. Liu Xiu'e just wanted to eat dumplings.

This is normal. In this era, dumplings are a rare food. Some families may not even be able to eat them twice a year.

Liu Xiu'e said a lot, but when she saw that no one responded, she was not embarrassed at all and walked towards the kitchen while talking.

"It must have been a month or two since we last had dumplings. Mom, let me try two too! Your eldest grandson wants to eat dumplings, too!"

Wang Maoni rolled her eyes at Liu Xiu'e and said, "He wants to eat dumplings, why don't you buy him some meat buns? What's the matter? We've already split up the family business, and you still want to eat up an old woman like me?"

"What are you talking about, mother?" Liu Xiu'e pretended to be serious, "Isn't this because the child is envious of his mother's cooking?"

Wang Maoni retorted without any hesitation, "Then let him be greedy!"
