Since you are making dumplings, you can choose several kinds of fillings, such as cabbage dumpling filling and sauerkraut dumpling filling.
"Do you still have the vermicelli you bought before? Do you want to make dumplings stuffed with vermicelli?" Song Yuehua asked.
Zhou Xiaohu had something on his mind, so when she asked him, he said, "Instead of making vermicelli filling, I'll make you something you've never eaten before."
"What kind of filling is that?"
“You’ll know when you eat it.”
After Zhou Xiaohu finished speaking, Song Yuehua did not ask any further questions.
After having eaten so many meals at the You Mansion, Zhou Xiaohu’s cooking skills are still trustworthy.
Just when Song Yuehua was thinking about dumplings.
Zhou Xiaohu moved next to her and whispered, "Xiaocao doesn't like me, but my family insists that we get engaged. What do you think of this?"
"ah?"
Song Yuehua didn't react for a moment and asked, "Xiao Cao doesn't like you?"
Zhou Xiaohu glanced outside and whispered, "When I was at home, I noticed that whenever Xiaoshu was around, Xiaocao would be very happy and would always glance at him."
Xiaocao has taken a fancy to Chen Shu!
Song Yuehua looked at Zhou Xiaohu and asked, "What about you?"
"Me what?"
"Do you like grass?"
Zhou Xiaohu shook his head, then nodded, "I don't know either, but Xiaocao doesn't talk much at home. She does whatever her family arranges for her to do, but I think this is not good for her."
Song Yuehua continued kneading the dough, "Have you asked Chen Shu? What does he think?"
Zhou Xiaohu lowered his head and kept cutting vegetables with his hands.
"Xiaoshu is only 12 years old, so I said to wait another two years until he is older. If he is not interested in Xiaocao, then I will have no worries."
Song Yuehua tapped Zhou Xiaohu's forehead and said, "I have never seen a person like you. You consider the grass and the trees, but why don't you consider yourself?"
Zhou Xiaohu said embarrassedly, "I don't have any girl I like, and no girl likes me. I don't care, but I don't want to delay other girls."
"Don't treat yourself badly in your life," said Song Yuehua.
Zhou Xiaohu smiled and said, "I won't treat myself badly."
Song Yuehua also laughed.
After a while, Xu Ji came back with the menu. Zhou Xiaohu groaned and asked, "10 servings of braised pork?"
Song Yuehua also came over to take a look. The menu only had the names of the dishes and the quantities written on it, but did not mention who ordered them.
"Xu Ji, are these all ordered by old customers?" Zhou Xiaohu asked.
Xu Ji said expressionlessly, "Mr. Wu ordered 5 meals to treat the people in his government office. He also ordered a set meal for Sister Xiao Cui."
"Xiao Cui?"
Song Yuehua squatted down and asked him, "Is she here too? How did she run into Wu Zheng? I came here today in Master Ma's ox cart, but why didn't I see Xiao Cui?"
Zhou Xiaohu was also a little curious, "Didn't Sister Xiao Cui go back?"
Xu Ji explained, "Sister Xiao Cui's stall has been occupied for several days in a row. Last time I went to help her occupy it but failed. Sister Xiao Cui was unwilling to accept the result and simply refused to go back. In the morning, she even had an argument with the stall owners. Wu saw her and took her back to the chess hall."
"Why haven't you ever mentioned this matter about Xiao Cui?" Zhou Xiaohu asked him.
Xu Ji panicked. "It was Sister Xiao Cui who told me not to tell you. She said I can't rely on others for everything."
Song Yuehua didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she patted Xu Ji's head and said, "Don't go later. Let your brother Xiaohu and I go deliver the food."
"It's okay," Xu Ji said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of him."
After a while, Lin's mood improved and she came in to help.
There were quite a lot of dishes ordered for lunch today, and Zhou Xiaohu arranged them with ease, and Xu Ji also cooperated very well.
Song Yuehua and Lin, one rolled the dough and the other made dumplings.
"Isn't it too much to eat dumplings in the middle of the day?" asked Lin.
Zhou Xiaohu laughed and said, "Other people eat braised pork at noon, but we just eat dumplings. How come it's okay?"
Thinking of eating dumplings later, Lin was also happy, "Okay, let's be extravagant at noon today. By the way, do you want to call Rushan in advance?"
"Don't worry," Song Yuehua said, "If he doesn't come back, pack it up for him. Pan An will come back to report the news later."
Lin sighed, "You all have grown up and have your own things to do."
After the dumplings were put into the pot, Song Yuehua waited for it to boil, and Lin was also eagerly waiting for it to boil.
Zhou Xiaohu seized the opportunity to lift the lid of the pot. The aroma of meat and noodles immediately filled the room. The white mist dissipated, and plump white dumplings floated in the entire pot.
"Let's eat first." Zhou Xiaohu scooped out four bowls of dumplings.
Lin swallowed and said, "That's not good. The people in the chess hall are still waiting for dinner, and Rushan and the others haven't come back yet."
"Don't be in a hurry, try it first," Zhou Xiaohu brought the large bowl to the table.
"I spent more than a year thinking about this stuffing when Wenwu and I were in Qingzhou. My grandfather was sick at the time, so I wanted to bring it back to open a wonton stall, but I didn't expect to end up making set meals by mistake."
After hearing this, Song Yuehua and Lin didn't hesitate. One dipped the meat in hot sauce while the other dipped it in vinegar. After taking a bite, the broth burned their tongues a little.
Soon the rich and delicious flavor of the gravy made people feel a little intoxicated.
Song Yuehua finished the whole bowl of food without realizing it.
Xu Ji was still making dumplings there.
Zhou Xiaohu asked him to eat first, and he took over and sat beside the chopping board, kneading and eating.
Lin tasted the flavor and said, "This is the dumplings you made during the Chinese New Year. Baozhu asked you how you made the filling, but she refused to tell you."
"Mom, please don't ask. I don't have any foundation in business, so I can't show it to others every day." Zhou Xiaohu felt helpless.
