Ah! Running into the book I wrote to chase the evil female supporting role

Eating dumplings on the winter solstice will keep your ears from freezing off.

This folk saying is widely circulated in the northern region. As a native southerner, Liu Muye actually has no habit of eating dumplings on the winter solstice.

Moreover, in the southern vegetable market, you can directly buy ready-made dumpling skins or handmade dumplings with stuffing. Liu Muye had never thought of rolling out dumpling skins by himself.

Watching Chen Menglian roll out the dough into skins, wrap the stuffing, and fold them into round dumplings in the shape of ingots, Liu Muye couldn't help but praise her.

He said, "Auntie, you are such a great cook!"

Chen Menglian smiled and said, "Haha, I'm sorry to make you laugh, Auntie only knows this much."

Liu Muye gave a thumbs up and said, "You are already very good at this!"

Han Juyou poked half of his head out from behind Liu Muye like a kitten and whispered, "Mom, I'm hungry~"

Chen Menglian pointed to the pressure cooker and said, "The soup is ready, you can get yourself a bowl of soup first."

"Don't drink the soup first, I'll help you make dumplings." Han Juyou said, bypassing Liu Muye and walked into the kitchen "You are almost too busy to handle it by yourself, and you don't even ask me to help you."

"Oh." Chen Menglian gently touched Han Juyou's arm with her elbow and said, "Just go to the living room to accompany Xiao Liu, why do you need to do anything?"

"It's okay, he doesn't need anyone to accompany him." Han Juyou turned his head and glanced at Liu Muye standing at the door, "Right, Xiao Liu?"

"Yeah." Liu Muye nodded immediately, "Sitting in the living room is just sitting, why don't you come and help."

Liu Muye said, went to wash his hands, and then came to help make dumplings.

Han Juyou saw Liu Muye washing his hands and immediately said, "Oh, I didn't even remember washing my hands!"

Han Juyou said, and immediately went to the sink to wash his hands.

Liu Muye smiled and teased: "Eat the dumplings you made later!"

Han Juyou joked: "I'll give them to you, it'll poison you."

Chen Menglian looked at the two people who came to help her make dumplings, and waved her hands and said: "Oh, I really can't use you two to help, you go and rest."

"The three of us can do it faster, you make one by yourself and we're all hungry."

Han Juyou said, picked up another piece of dumpling skin, stuffed it with meat filling, and made it into a gold ingot shape in a few seconds.

Liu Muye also smiled at Chen Menglian: "Yes, Auntie, you just roll the skin, we'll make it."

"Then... OK..."

Chen Menglian nodded and rolled the dumpling skin faster.

Liu Muye didn't make gold ingot-shaped dumplings like the two of them, he only folded the dumplings in half and pinched the edges to make the most basic shape of dumplings.

Han Juyou looked at his slow way of making dumplings and couldn't help laughing and said, "How long will it take you to make dumplings like this? Come, I'll teach you a simple one."

Han Juyou said, picked up a piece of dumpling skin, added meat, dipped the edge of the skin in water, then folded it in half and pressed hard with two thumbs, and the meat stuffing was squeezed into the middle, and the two sides were also stuck. This method is much faster than Liu Muye's pinching.

Han Juyou held the dumplings in his hand and said, "The big-bellied dumplings made in this way are also very beautiful, and the speed is fast. Have you learned it?"

"I have learned it."

This method is very simple. After Liu Muye watched it once, he also made one himself. Although it was not as bulging as the one made by Han Juyou, it was still okay.

In the following time, Han Juyou made Yuanbao dumplings, Liu Muye made big-bellied dumplings, and Chen Menglian rolled noodles. The three of them performed their duties and were busy in an orderly manner.

While rolling the dumpling skin, Chen Menglian talked with Liu Muye about Han Juyou's childhood.

She said: "When Youyou was little, she loved eating dumplings. She could eat two plates of dumplings at a time. She liked dumplings with meat filling, but we couldn't afford so much meat at that time. Every time we ran out of filling halfway through making dumplings, I would use leeks and eggs. She didn't like leeks. Every time she bit them, she would pout and be unhappy, but she didn't say anything. She would just eat with her head down. It was so funny to see her sulking..." Han Juyou blushed and interrupted her mother's words, saying, "Oh, mom, why do you tell everything to others!" Liu Muye listened to Chen Menglian's story about the past, and he seemed to see his mother in a trance. Liu Muye thought, if his mother in the outside world was still alive, would she be busy in the kitchen filled with smoke and fire like now, and tell his childhood with a smile, and those interesting things that he didn't even know... With the joint efforts of the three, they soon made a large table of dumplings, which was enough for four or five people. Chen Menglian only cooked half of it, and she put the remaining half aside. She said, "Xiao Liu, when you leave later, put all of them in a bag and take them back for your parents to try."

Liu Muye waved his hand and said, "Uh, Auntie, my parents can't eat so much, you can keep some for yourself."

"That won't work. It's better to give more than less when giving gifts. Besides, there aren't many dumplings here, so you can take them all back." Chen Menglian pointed to the uncooked dumplings and said, "These are freshly made dumplings. When you take them back, ask your family to cook them. Don't put them in the refrigerator. The skin of the dumplings that have been frozen will not be tough, and they won't taste good when cooked."

"Yeah." Liu Muye nodded and agreed, "Okay, got it."

After the hot dumplings came out of the pot, Chen Menglian let Liu Muye taste one first.

Well, it's really delicious. Seriously, the taste is better than all the dumplings he's eaten before, but it's a little hot!

"Has~Has~"

Liu Muye took a bite and was burned so much that he opened his mouth wide and kept breathing out.

Han Juyou was amused by Liu Muye's appearance. While pouring a drink for him, she said, "Stupid, can't you eat slower!"

Liu Muye took a sip of the drink and said embarrassedly, "Isn't it too delicious?"

If it weren't for her mother sitting here, Han Juyou really wanted to say to Liu Muye, "Your intention to compliment my mother is too obvious, isn't it? Young Master Liu, have you never eaten delicious dumplings?"

Chen Menglian looked at him with a smile and said, "If it's delicious, eat more. There are still so many."

Chen Menglian ate very little. Seeing the two children eating the food she made in big mouthfuls, her face was filled with a happy smile.

Liu Muye stuffed his dumplings with big mouthfuls, and asked: "Auntie, why did you stop eating after two bites?"

Chen Menglian smiled and said: "Maybe I ate too much in the morning, I'm not very hungry now."

"Oh oh..."

After lunch, Han Juyou had to stay at home with her mother in the afternoon, and Liu Muye had to go home first, and take the dumplings packed by Auntie Chen home.

Before Liu Muye left, Chen Menglian went downstairs to see him off, and Han Juyou was washing dishes in the kitchen and didn't follow him down.

Chen Menglian gently patted Liu Muye's hand, looked at him kindly and said: "Xiao Liu, you are a well-behaved and sensible child, you are good to Youyou, and your personality and hobbies are the same as my Youyou. Sometimes I feel dazed and think you are like my son, like Youyou's brother. If there is a chance, I would like to meet your parents."

Liu Muye smiled and said: "Okay, if you are free next time, come to my house as a guest."

"Well, okay, I will definitely go when I am free."
