After walking out of the alley, Jiang Yunfan stood quietly at a distance of half a meter from Jiang Yu.
He looked up at her, then quickly lowered his head, kicked the small stones at his feet and made them fly, then looked up at her awkwardly again.
Jiang Yu noticed that something was wrong with him and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Jiang Yunfan said in a muffled voice, "You shouldn't have shown your face just now. Now that you've been seen, what will you do if Hu Ming's grandfather takes revenge on you?"
Seeing his awkward concern, Jiang Yu smiled and raised her eyebrows slightly: "So you are concerned about me?"
Jiang Yunfan's face flushed crimson instantly. He looked up and glared at her, then awkwardly retorted, "I'm not, I don't, I don't care about you, I just... I just think you're stupid for doing this!"
Jiang Yu curled the corners of her mouth slightly: "If you care about me, then care about me. Don't be so stubborn!"
Jiang Yunfan's ears turned red: "You're talking nonsense, I already said I don't care about you!"
“Puff.”
Jiang Yu couldn't help but be amused by Jiang Yunfan's reaction.
Jiang Yunfan's eyes widened in shock, and he stared at Jiang Yu with a hint of regret. "I care about you, and you actually laughed at me," was written on his mind.
His cheeks puffed slightly out of anger.
It seems that the two little guys have been eating well during this period, and the two brothers' skinny little faces have started to gain weight.
Jiang Yu pinched the soft flesh of his cheek with relief, and let go before Jiang Yunfan could protest: "Okay, if you say no, then no. I dare to show my face, so of course I'm not afraid of their revenge!"
First of all, it was not her who framed Ma Mei. It was Ma Mei who cheated on her own. It was not her who knocked Ma Mei unconscious and put her in the man's bed to frame her.
Second, the Ma Mei incident will ferment starting from tomorrow. In this conservative era, there is not much entertainment. Once something like this happens that destroys people's worldview, it will spread very quickly. By then, Hu Ming's grandfather will not have time to avoid it, so how could he come forward for a cousin who is having an affair?
As for Ma Mei, whether she shows her face or not, she will be suspected.
Then why is she hiding?
It would be better to just come out and piss her off to death.
Jiang Yunfan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the explanation, but snorted, "That's just specious talk!"
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at him: "You say one thing and mean another."
“…”

Wei's Gate
When Grandma Shen saw them coming back, she asked with concern: “How is it? Is everything going well?”
Jiang Yunfan's eyes widened as he excitedly recounted what had happened before, adding more details.
While speaking, he did not forget to cover Jiang Yunzhou's ears to prevent him from listening.
Jiang Yunzhou was so angry that his mouth pouted, and you could hang an oil lamp on it.
Jiang Yu looked at the interaction between the two brothers with amusement, shook his head, and seeing that it was getting late, he quickly thanked them and went home.
This morning she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up to buy a few pounds of pork belly. Now she took the pork belly out of the well, cut a little and put it back into the well.
Take flour and knead the dough.
Chop the fresh meat into small pieces, season it to make the filling, wrap it into small and exquisite wontons, and then throw it into clean water to cook.
Sprinkle with chopped green onions, dried shrimps and a little sesame oil when serving.
The taste is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue!
Because they had solved Ma Mei's problem, the Jiang family ate heartily that night, with happy smiles on their faces.
On this cool night, there is nothing better than eating a hot meal of dumplings.
Even the baby Jiang Yunzhou ate a bowl of it.
Jiang Yunfan was even more exaggerated and ate two full bowls.
Even this was not enough, I drank up the soup base and wanted to have a third bowl.
If Jiang Yu hadn't said she would make dumplings for them tomorrow, he would have wanted to continue.
After hearing this, Jiang Yunfan licked his lips regretfully and touched his slightly protruding belly.
I thought that even though I was expelled from school, if I could have such delicious food every day, I might as well be expelled.
Compared with the past life in the compound, life now is so happy that it feels like heaven.
Jiang Yu was in a good mood and ate as much as she could, but ended up eating too much and felt uncomfortable sitting down, so she ran to the kitchen to prepare the stuffing for the dumplings she had just promised, as a way to help digest the food after the meal.
Throughout history, breakfast culture has been colorful and splendid. Although the habits between the north and the south are mostly different, there are also foods that are so delicious that they unify the tastes of both the north and the south, such as steamed buns.
When it comes to baozi (stuffed buns), there are so many varieties. Just look inside any baozi shop and you'll see a dizzying array of flavors listed on the sign. There are preserved vegetable and pork buns, fresh meat buns, fresh bamboo shoot buns, red bean paste buns, custard buns... but Jiang Yu's favorite is the xiaolongbao (small steamed bun).
Authentic xiaolongbao (xiaolongbao) requires meticulous attention to both the skin and filling. Every step, from mixing the dough to letting it rest and kneading it, requires meticulous attention. The same goes for the filling itself: pork belly with the perfect fat-to-lean ratio should be used, the ginger and scallions should be finely minced, and the filling should be stirred in one direction for a perfect texture.
The most elaborate part of the recipe is the pig skin jelly. The pig skin is pounded and minced, marinated with seasonings, and then simmered with chicken broth simmered over a wood fire. Once cooled, it becomes the jelly. The diced pork skin is then mixed with the meat filling, creating the so-called "broth" for the steamed buns.
This is the essence of the xiaolongbao. When eating it, poke the thin skin with chopsticks, or bring it to your mouth and take a nibble. The boiling hot and delicious broth will instantly overflow, numbing the tip of your tongue. The eater has to blow on it repeatedly and then carefully sip away the broth.
There was no chicken soup, so Jiang Yu made a simple version of pig skin jelly. By the time she had prepared the filling, it was already late. So she quickly washed her hands, turned off the lights, and went back to rest.
The next morning, Jiang Yu steamed the prepared dumplings.
When the fragrance overflowed, the other two greedy cats woke up after smelling it. Their crying faces made people laugh and get angry at the same time.
Jiang Yu opened the lid of the steamer and white mist rose. After the mist dispersed, the two little guys saw the neatly arranged dumplings and both let out wows of surprise.
Especially Jiang Yunfan, he couldn't wait to start eating.
The xiaolongbao are small, delicate and translucent, with a crystal-clear skin. They are made so thin that you can vaguely see the meat filling and the swaying soup inside.
Jiang Yu saw their eager little paws and quickly reminded them that there was soup in the dumplings and they should be careful as they were hot.
The skin of the xiaolongbao is extremely thin and soft when picked up, but tough enough not to break. The soup inside is picked up by chopsticks and sways with the hanging corner of the bun, as if it will break in the next second.
Jiang Yunfan kept Jiang Yu's words in mind and ate carefully. He first bit open the thin, tough, translucent bun skin. However, when the boiling hot soup unexpectedly flowed into his mouth, his tongue shrank because of the burn. However, he was reluctant to spit out the delicious food in his mouth, so he endured the heat and swallowed it into his stomach.
The extreme deliciousness hit Jiang Yunfan's taste buds, making him open his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that this was even more delicious than the wontons he had last night.
