Double Life: My whole world is you

Chapter 34 Making Dumplings

"The town is so big, we can just take a walk around it." Zhang Wen said nonchalantly.

Hearing her words, Wang Ran curled his lips and said, "Then I'd better go to Class 2 with Caiyun."

Wang Ran walked to Class 2 after he finished speaking, and then several people also walked to Class 2. Wang Shun asked Cheng Xia who was standing beside him, "Xia, do you want to invite a few people to our Class 1?"

"Forget it! We are going to visit Teacher Shang, and we are not familiar with them." Cheng Xia shook her head.

"Xia, let's go and not join in the fun." Cheng Qiao said.

Cheng Xia nodded, and Wang Shun quickly ran to the front, greeted the second and third classes, and led everyone to the vegetable market on the right...

Arriving at the entrance of the vegetable market, Cheng Qiao walked slowly to the back. Zhang Yandi called Cheng Qiao, "Qiao, how much is each of you giving?"

She felt a little uncomfortable when she heard him call Cheng Qiao like that. After all, only a few of her good classmates called her Qiao. Later, when she was in technical secondary school, no one called her that. People usually addressed her with their surname. After she started working, no one called her that anymore. People usually just called her Xiao Cheng.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Yandi asked when he saw her in a daze.

Cheng Qiao came back to her senses and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Sorry, I was distracted. It's 10 yuan per person."

"Okay, here you go." Zhang Yandi took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to her.

"You don't have to give it to me, just give it to Xia directly." Cheng Qiao said.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhang Yandi said aggrievedly, "I'm only familiar with you and Xiao Shunzi. But he's busy after all and has to take care of everyone, so he came to find you."

Seeing his aggrieved look, Cheng Qiao felt a little embarrassed, "It's not a bother." She took the money and followed the team. Cheng Xia and Wang Shun were surrounded in the middle, discussing what to buy. Cheng Qiao went in from the gap on the side and handed the money to her, and said in a slightly louder voice, "This is Zhang Yandi's share of money."

Cheng Xia took the money and said to Zhang Yandi with a smile, "Thank you, classmate."

Zhang Yandi smiled and nodded without comment and stood on Cheng Qiao's right. Cheng Xia pulled Cheng Qiao into the center and said, "Qiao, come and ask for advice on what to buy!"

"Ah! Aren't you buying meat to make dumplings?" Cheng Qiao asked blankly. She remembered making dumplings.

Cheng Xia thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's buy meat and dumpling wrappers. Let's calculate how much we need to buy and what to buy with the remaining money."

After discussing, we agreed to buy some things to make dumplings. We quickly figured out that we needed 2 jin of dumpling wrappers at 6 yuan per jin, and jin of meat at yuan per jin. We also bought some carrots, ginger, garlic, and onions. Since we still had half of the money left, we bought some green vegetables, lotus roots, and potatoes. We used the rest to buy fruit. The most purchased ones were sugar oranges, and we also bought apples and bananas...

After buying these, each boy carried a big bag, and the girls carried the vegetables and side dishes. A group of boys and girls walked towards Teacher Shang's house, talking and laughing...

A group of people were walking back from the town center. Mr. Shang's home was at the intersection of the east road in the town. There were two rows of four houses with seven floors. The houses were distributed by Mr. Shang's parents' work unit. At this time, Mr. Shang, who was wearing a black suit and glasses, was standing at the intersection waiting for everyone. When they saw Mr. Shang, they ran towards him excitedly. A happy smile appeared on his serious face. Several boys hugged him excitedly, and the girls also surrounded him and talked and laughed happily. Cheng Qiao and Zhang Yandi stood by and watched them...

Teacher Shang led everyone to Unit 13 of the second building in the first row. His home was on the second floor. The entrance was the living room. The people filled the living room in an instant. Teacher Shang asked everyone to sit down. He found all the chairs in the house, big and small, but there were not enough for everyone to sit. Wang Shun pulled Teacher Shang to sit down, and then said to everyone, "Girls sit down, boys stand for a while."

"No need!" Cheng Xia said, "Let's get ready and make dumplings."

"Okay." Everyone responded happily.

"Girls, come in and help me clean up." Cheng Xia assigned, "Boys, get ready and chop the meat." The kitchen was about five or six square meters, and it would be very crowded if three or four people stood there. Cheng Qiao stood outside the restaurant and watched everyone busy, but she really couldn't squeeze in. Cheng Xia, Cheng Xiu, Luo Ting, Zhang Ying, and Cheng Mengyun were already inside and all of them were squeezed out.

"Yun, let's visit the house together and come back to help later." Cheng Qiao said to Cheng Yun.

Cheng Yun looked up at the crowded kitchen, and finally said reluctantly, "Okay."

The house has two bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom, about 60 to 70 square meters, the dining room and kitchen are together, the toilet is in the northwest of the dining room, the living room is outside the dining room, and the two rooms are in the southeast of the living room. At this time, Wang Shunchengsong was cutting meat in the living room, Teacher Shang, Zhang Hui and Zhang Yandi were standing next to them peeling oranges and chatting, Wang Wei, Luo Xu and Cheng Hui were playing on the computer in Teacher Shang's room, Zhang Yandi saw Cheng Qiao coming out of the living room, and took a few sugar oranges from the side and handed them to her, "Eat oranges."

"Okay, thank you!" Cheng Qiao took the orange, handed one to Cheng Yun, and gave a brief introduction. Then the two joined in the chat.

After a while, Luo Ting and Zhang Ying brought out the washed carrots and prepared to make the ingredients. Zhang Hui and Zhang Yandi replaced Wang Shun and Cheng Song. Teacher Shang found the largest basin in his house. Cheng Qiao and Cheng Yun took the basin and went to the bathroom to wash it...

An hour later, the dumpling stuffing was almost done with everyone's cooperation. At this time, four people in the kitchen came out, and three people in the bedroom also came over. Everyone worked together to lift the dining table out of the restaurant, and then moved other extra things to the restaurant and the room. The whole living room had only one table, with a large pot of dumpling stuffing in the middle, and two pieces of white cloth on both sides to place the wrapped dumplings. Teacher Jia Shang and 14 people rolled up their sleeves and prepared to make dumplings...

Soon Cheng Xia finished wrapping the first dumpling. She took out the dumpling and said to everyone with a smile, "Look at my ingot."

"Haha, I can do it too." Zhang Hui also completed an ingot and placed it on the left side of the table.

Soon Cheng Song made a crescent shape, and everyone followed suit. Cheng Qiao knew how to make it, but she was best at making a fish mouth shape. The crescent shape required four or five pinches, while the fish mouth shape only required one pinch in the middle. After comparing, everyone thought the fish mouth shape was simpler, so they followed suit. Everyone laughed and joked, and later on everyone invented all kinds of shapes, such as triangles, quadrilaterals, stars, buns, and even flowers and semi-finished rabbits...

Soon the two sides of the table were filled with dumplings. Cheng Xia counted them and found a total of 87. She cooked one pot and steamed one in the rice cooker. Cheng Qiao followed Cheng Xia into the kitchen. The others continued to make dumplings outside. Cheng Xia was watching over the dumplings while Cheng Qiao was mixing the ingredients. Zhang Yandi also came over and asked naturally, "Qiao, do you need help?"
