Chapter 114: Soup Dumplings

Nan Yi was a little confused about where to start.

I’m afraid of being burned, but also afraid of being clumsy and breaking the skin, which would cause the soup to escape.

He thought about it over and over again but couldn't find a suitable solution, so he had to ask Nanzhi for help.

Nanzhi was amused by his silly and stupid appearance.

She took the spoon in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, quickly and accurately grasped the folds of the bun, and lifted it up lightly.

The bun just fell into the spoon, and Nanzhi handed it to Nanyi:
"Here, take a small bite, um, that's it, take your time and don't burn yourself."

Nan Yi breathed in and out with a hissing sound, and the delicious aroma of the dumplings rushed into his nose and mouth.

If you're not careful, saliva will flow from the corners of your mouth.

Fortunately, Nan Yi reacted quickly and raised his hand to wipe it off.

He stole another glance at the southern branch.

In order to save face for his child, Nanzhi pretended that he was dazzled and didn't see it. He suppressed his laughter and reminded Nanyi that he could drink some soup first.

Nan Yi did as he was told, being very careful throughout the process and eating so hard that he was sweating.

However, the deliciousness of Xiaolongbao is enough to make people ignore its troubles.

Nan Yi was eating with difficulty, but his expression was one of satisfaction and surprise.

"Try some vinegar."

Nan Yi followed suit and was even more satisfied.

This was Nan Yi’s first time eating xiaolongbao.

But he persistently and firmly believed that the dumplings made by his mother must be the most delicious dumplings in the world!

...In fact, he was not wrong.

Xiaolongbao is very difficult to make. Just the 18 crisp and standard folds of the bun would take a chef ten years to practice.

In addition, when ordinary people make xiaolongbao, it is easy for the stuffing and the soup to separate. People who eat it drink up the soup, and then eat the meat stuffing, which tastes dry.

But after drinking the overflowing soup of the dumplings made by Nanzhi, every time you take a bite, you can feel that the soup is perfectly blended with the meat filling. The filling is not dry at all, but fresh, tender and full of soup.

It is really the best bag!
The degree of skill tested here can be said to be revealed in the details!

Nan Yi was very happy and ate five in one breath without taking a break.

From being clumsy at the beginning to being familiar with it now, he has become a master at eating soup dumplings.

And he didn't feel bored at all, he just liked it very much.

Nanzhi had no choice but to push the soy milk in front of Nanyi himself:
“Try the soy milk.”

The soy milk that can be found in any small shop becomes extraordinary because it is made by Nanzhi.

Silky, thick, mellow...all the beautiful adjectives can be used to describe this small bowl of soy milk.

Nan Yi just tasted it casually, but was amazed by it. He held the small bowl and gulped down a big gulp, finishing it all.

“Delicious!”

Nanzhi supported her chin with her hand and kept staring at Nanyi.

Nan Yi almost felt embarrassed:

"Mom, don't you want to eat?"

"Eat."

Nanzhi then slowly picked up the chopsticks and tasted her own cooking.

Well, that's pretty good.

After finishing breakfast, Nan Yi observed secretly.

I found out that my mother really didn’t leave any extra dumplings.

This made him secretly happy, and he thought vaguely:

Is it really possible not to share it with others?
Isn’t it said that good children are those who know how to share generously?

Soon, Fu Chao was the first to arrive, leading Qingxi, who was yawning constantly.

Fu Chao: "Yi Yi, good morning."

Qingxi broke free from his uncle's hand and ran to Nanyi.

"Brother Yiyi, my uncle just took me to eat sugar triangles. They were super delicious. I feel like I haven't had enough. Have you had breakfast? Let's sneak out to buy some later. I'll treat you!"

As he said that, Qingxi took out his treasured 10-yuan bill from his trouser pocket!
Fu Chao turned his head, smiling:

"Xiao Xi, next time when you discuss doing something bad, can you speak a little more quietly? At least I won't hear you."

Qingxi shook his head indifferently.

Nan Yi hesitated:

"I've eaten." Qingxi opened his eyes wide:

"What are you eating? Are they sugar triangles too?"

Nan Yi hesitated for a moment before answering:
"Xiaolongbao and soy milk, made by my mom."

Qingxi swallowed his saliva:
"Wow, the dumplings your mom makes must be super delicious, even better than sugar triangles... Woohoo, I'm so envious of you!"

But there is only envy, no complaints.

Soon after, Xie Yu, Xie Anan, Qi Peier and Qi Zhang arrived at the restaurant one after another.

Everyone has already had breakfast.

Even if he didn’t have breakfast, he wouldn’t ask Nanzhi for anything to eat, he would just make it himself.

They drew a clear line about this boundary:

Nanzhi asked them to eat whatever she cooked together. This showed that Nanzhi was polite and generous.

Rather than it should be.

...Nan Yi, who was observing quietly, suddenly felt in a good mood.

He approached Qingxi:
"Didn't you say you were going to buy candy triangles?"

"Yeah!"

Qingxi almost cheered out loud.

At the last moment, I remembered my uncle's warning and quickly turned down the volume.

He gave Nan Yi a look, indicating that the two should sneak out.

Qi Zhang was very sharp-eyed and quickly came over:

"I also need to go."

Qingxi curled his lips, his voice still small:
"Do you know where we're going?"

Qi Zhang raised his chin proudly:
"Eat some candied sugar triangles! I heard everything! Don't worry, I have money, I'll treat you!"

Qingxi was angry:
"I said it's my treat!"

The two almost got into an argument over who should pay.

However, Nan Yi's gaze fell on Xie Anan, who was holding the edge of the cabinet not far away and looking quietly in their direction.

——Yesterday, Nan Yi suddenly lost his temper and ran away, which scared Xie Anan. She felt so wronged that she almost cried. When she returned to the store to tell her father and Aunt Zhizhi, she was still confusedly looking for her own mistakes.

Xie Anan felt that it must be because she said something wrong that made Brother Yi Yi unhappy.

So, now she also looked like she had done something wrong, watching Nan Yi and the others interacting from afar, not daring to get close.

Nan Yi pursed his lips:
"Xie Anan, do you want to come with us?"

Qingxi and Qi Zhang were reminded and suddenly realized:

"Yes, sister An An, do you want to come with us?"

Boys of this age generally don't like to play with girls.

But Xie Anan is different.

She is well-behaved and sensible, always knows how to take care of other people's emotions, and doesn't like to cry. She is simply the ideal perfect sister. Qingxi and Qi Zhang both like her very much and call her "Sister An An" all the time.

Xie Anan ran over excitedly:
"C-Can I come along?"

"Of course!"

Qingxi waved his little hand, acting like the oldest brother.

As a result, Nan Yi calmly pointed out:

"But we don't have enough money."

Qingxi has 10 yuan, and Qi Zhang only has 5 yuan.

I'm afraid it's not enough for them to eat.

Nan Yi has no money.

As for Xie Anan...

"I have 50 yuan."

She shyly took out the pocket money her father gave her.

Qingxi and Qi Zhang: “Wow!”

Little rich woman!

Xie Anan's actions seemed to touch Nan Yi.

When he was on guard, they were willing to share with him generously.

Was he wrong?
