Su Jinyue nodded, picked up a piece of zongzi leaf, and wrapped it according to the steps that Tian Cuifang had just taught her. Soon, an extremely exquisite zongzi was wrapped.
"Xiao Su, is this really your first time making rice dumplings?" Tian Cuifang looked at the rice dumplings made by Su Jinyue with some disbelief. These rice dumplings looked better than the ones she made.
"Yeah." Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. She was a cultivator, so she learned everything quickly.
"You're really clever! I'll teach you how to make another kind of zongzi." Tian Cuifang picked up the bamboo leaves and began to wrap another type of zongzi. Zongzi can be made in various shapes, including regular triangles, regular quadrilaterals, pointed triangles, squares, and long ones. Although they look simple, you must pay attention to the amount of glutinous rice and filling you put in, otherwise the filling will easily leak out during cooking.
Su Jinyue watched Tian Cuifang making rice dumplings, and she also picked up the rice dumplings leaves and started wrapping them.
Tian Cuifang placed the wrapped zongzi on the table and turned to see Su Jinyue, only a step behind her. She gave her a thumbs-up in admiration. The zongzi she was making this time were unique to her hometown. Besides her, the only other military wives in the compound who knew how to make them were Liu Erta's wife. Liu Erta's wife and she were from the same place, and other military wives had tried to make them, but they just couldn't get it right.
Su Jinyue put the wrapped rice dumplings on the table and glanced at the other military wives who were wrapping rice dumplings. "Aunt Wang, is this kind of rice dumpling your original creation?" Apart from Aunt Wang, she had not seen anyone else wrapping this kind of rice dumplings at the scene.
"This wrapping method is unique to my hometown. Most people can't make it. Come, I'll teach you another way to make zongzi," Tian Cuifang said with a smile. She's been at the military dependents' home for over twenty years and has participated in dozens of zongzi-making competitions. She knows how to make almost any zongzi.
"Okay." Su Jinyue nodded with a smile and picked up the rice dumplings leaves to wrap them again.
The competition was very lively, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. For everyone, winning or not was not important; they participated in the competition just to have some fun.
The doctor examined He Caizhen and said, "Just apply some medicine to your mouth and it will be fine. As for why you can't speak, I can't find the cause yet. Go home and drink plenty of water and get some rest. If you don't feel better in a couple of days, come back."
"Okay." Wang Kequn responded.
After leaving the military hospital, He Caizhen hurried towards the auditorium. If other doctors couldn't cure her, Su Jinyue was sure she could. Being unable to speak was worse than death for her.
"Caizhen, don't go. Let's go tomorrow." Wang Kequn reached out and held He Caizhen. He knew his wife wanted to find Su Jinyue to help her with her illness, but with so many people around today, it wouldn't be a good idea for her to go like this.
He Caizhen pushed Wang Kequn aside and ran to the auditorium. She couldn't wait any longer.
"Caizhen." Wang Kequn shouted and chased after her.
He Caizhen ran into the auditorium, looked around, and soon saw Su Jinyue, so she hurried over.
"Sister-in-law Zhan, your rice dumplings are so beautiful. Can you teach me how to make them?"
"Sister-in-law Zhan, you are really clever and skillful. Not only are you good at medicine, but you can even make dumplings look so good."
"That's right, and Sister Zhan is so beautiful."
Su Jinyue smiled and ignored what everyone said.
He Caizhen pushed aside the military wives surrounding Su Jinyue, came to Su Jinyue, bowed to Su Jinyue and begged, pointing to her throat.
Wang Kequn walked over and gave Zhan Yihan an apologetic smile, "Captain, can you ask your sister-in-law to help Caizhen?" He felt uncomfortable seeing his wife like this.
"Tell her not to speak ill of others behind their backs in the future." Zhan Yihan said calmly.
"Yes!" Wang Kequn replied. He knew his wife's gossiping nature very well, and he had told her many times, but it was no use.
Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue and nodded at her. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Kequn was his subordinate, he would definitely keep He Caizhen silent for a few more days.
Su Jinyue smiled slightly and took out a needle bag from her bag. She hadn't used silver needles in a long time. Now, most of the time when she treated patients, she just took a pill.
When He Caizhen saw Su Jinyue take out the silver needle, she was a little scared, but thinking that she couldn't speak, she could only stand there, looking at the long and thin silver needle in Su Jinyue's hand with fear.
"Keep your chin up." Su Jinyue said.
He Caizhen quickly raised her chin, and closed her eyes in fear, thinking that the silver needle was about to pierce her skin.
Su Jinyue's hand rose and fell quickly, and the silver needle had already pierced He Caizhen's skin.
Everyone around was watching Su Jinyue's actions intently. They had all heard of Su Jinyue's amazing medical skills, but they had never actually seen them in person.
"Go sit aside and wait fifteen minutes for me to remove the needle for you," Su Jinyue said to He Caizhen. In He Caizhen's case, she only needed to use her spiritual sense to recover. The reason she made it so complicated was to let her know that curing this disease was not easy.
"Sister-in-law, will she be able to speak after the acupuncture is over?" Wang Kequn asked.
"Okay, but remember that trouble comes from the mouth. You may not be so lucky next time." Su Jinyue said meaningfully.
"Okay, sister-in-law," Wang Kequn replied. He didn't quite understand what Su Jinyue said, but he did understand one thing: Su Jinyue's meaning was the same as Zhan Yihan's, which was to ask his wife to stop speaking ill of others.
Helping He Caizhen to sit aside, Wang Kequn looked at her and said, "You heard what your sister-in-law said. If you say bad things about others again, she will not treat you."
He Caizhen blinked, indicating she understood. She had a needle stuck in her neck, so she didn't dare move. Su Jinyue must have known she'd said something bad about her. Thinking about what she'd said about Su Jinyue before, she felt a little guilty.
"Sister-in-law Zhan, is Sister-in-law Wang suddenly like this because she said bad things about others behind their backs?" Everyone didn't quite understand what Su Jinyue meant by what she had just said, but they still understood that trouble comes from the mouth.
Su Jinyue shook her head and smiled. "I don't know either, but it's best not to say bad things about others behind their backs. Even if nothing bad happens, it will make the other person feel uncomfortable. No one can be sure whether they will ask others for help in the future. It's fate that we met and lived together in the military family compound. We should cherish this fate. What do you think?"
"Sister-in-law Zhan is right. We must cherish this fate."
"Yes, from now on we won't speak ill of others behind their backs."
Tian Cuifang smiled at Su Jinyue, looked at the other military wives and said, "Xiao Su is right. Let's work together to create a harmonious environment in the future."
"Good!" Everyone clapped their hands.
